A Ceorgjn Execution.

An Atlanta, Ga, telegram says: Pleas
ant Turner was taken from the Jail here
yesterday TO Greenvile where he was
hanged in private to-day. Turner was the
murderer of John Z. Shuttles. Turner was
q farmer living near town and Shuttles was
proprietor of a saloon in Greenville. For
several years they were the warmest friends
and when In 1872 Turner was arrested for
the murder of one Moreland, Shuttles
was instrumental in securing his acquittal.
Two years later they quarreled, .aud
for seven years they kept up a bitter
feud. Both were men OF nerve, and
when Shuttles was not hunting Turner
with pistol, the latter was cunning for
Shuttles. Several shooting scrapes taking
place between them during that period. On
the morning of June 6, 1881, Turner came
to town. He and Shuttles were both drink
ing and at different times during the day
were fourishing knives and pistols. In the
afternoon Shuttles entered Freeman's
grocery, and as he was passing to the rear
OF the room, Turner, who was behind him,
shot him in the back, killing him almost
instantly. Turner's trial lasted nine days,
but the jury was only o.t twenty minutes
and returned a verdict Of guilty.

Some Day.

Farewell, bright dawns and perfume-laden airs.
Faint with the breath of roses newly blown
Warm, slumbrous moons, when sleep our haunting
cares,
Long summer days and nights too sweetly flown
With signs and sad regrets we saw you go;
Why did you leave us who had loved you so?
Meath sapphire skies and starry hedgerows sweet
Laced with gold thread of gossamer, we went.
Wild summer blooms beneath our wandering feet
And summer in our hearts: our love intent.
Il will return you said, when roses blow"
Ths.t time we said good bye" a year ago.
But alone have seen them bloom and die,
While you have passed beyond these shadows here
Into the LIGHT I'll follow bye-and-bye. =.
Meantime wait and hold the roses dear,
And summer sacred. for the love I bear,
Until we meet again, some day, somewhere. a

How Beauty Was Dressed at Ascot.


At Ascot, on Tuesday, the Princess of
Wales looking charming in a cream color
ed gown Of some soft wooden material, and
with little red in her bonnet. The Du-
chess of Albany wore a lovely shade of
wallfo wer red. Lady Brassey was gorgeo us
as usual but her gown appeared rather
hot and heavy for the day. The Duchess
of Manchester looked splendid in black,
mads over red. Maria Marchioness of
Ailesbury, wore the same gown she had on
at Mondays wedding. Lady Dudley,
''gowned in pure white that fitted to the
shape" looked poetic, GLADYS, Lady Ions
dale, in gray, suggested the thought that
in no other color could she possibly look
so we'll. The sight of her on a succeeding
day in mauve totally subverted any such
narrow idea. But heartily wish she had
not worn a bonnet made of seagull. She
can so easily set fashions that she ought
to be be careful not to set crHel ones

OATs.-Oats are better to be cut before
they are fully ripe. Wher left till ripe
the crop is very liable to be shed by d high
wind. The straw of oats is far better fod-
der than that of wheat or barley, especially
when early cut. Sometimes oat straw
properly harvested has nearly the feeding
value of hay.

DECAYED APPLEs.-Farmers have Of
ten noticed that where green apples have
been left on the ground they rotted the

WHY WHEAT LoDeEs.-W falls
down when the straw is heady and too
weak in the stem to hold itself up If such
wheat IS examined it is found to be yery
succulent and soft. This is caused by soil
too rich in nitrogen and too poor in lime
or silica and by excessive wet. Lime or
salt are very thin seeding, should always
be applied to very rich soil when wheat is
sown. The rank growth where manure
heaps have lain usually falls down.

Results of Imprudent Marriage.

The daughter of wealthy Chicago
merchant few months since answered
an advertisement soliciting correspond
ent. The correspondence that ensued
was signed ]. w. Morrow, and led to
an interview, he coming to Chicago for
the purpose. The father of the young
lady opposed the marriage, but she de-
termined to have her own way, drew
from bank a large amount of money, and,
flying with her lover, they were married
at suburban town. On the third day
after her marriage she gave her husband
$4,000, and he left her for the purpose
of depositing the money in bank. That
was the last she saw of him, and she
was deserted in a hotel without funds.
She con6ded her sad story to the hotel
proprietor, and an examination Of the
villains trunk was heavy blow to the
trusting woman. In ltletters we're found
showing that the fellows name was Clar-
ence belong. that he was a married
man, and that bis wife was resident of
New York. The deserted wife's letters
were full of love, and in nearly all of
them she begged that he would come
to her and save her from ssuicide which
she avowed she would commit, leaving
two children motherless. She Was as
sisted to return to her father, shorn of
her fair fame and fortune, and efforts
have been made to capture her deceiver,
but 80 far they have been futile.
