FALL PLANTING THE STRAWBERRY.

FALL PLANTING THE STRAWBERRY.
The following suggestions are from
q circular issued by M. Crawford, of
Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio:
The strawberry is perennial, and
grows all the year except (P) when the
ground is frozen. Next years crop of
the fruit will be made up principally
from the food gathered and stored up
in the crown of the plant during the
present season-just as the milk given
by COW tomorrow will be made from
the grass consumed to-day. Runners
rooted in the fall have not time to store
up food for the next years crop; hence
they can produce little or nothing. If,
from any cause the plant be hindered in
its growth during the summer or fall,
the crop will be small in proportion.
The perfection of culture consists in
supplying the wants of the plant, that
its growth may be rapid and continu-
GUS, and that it receive no injury while
it is in q dormant state or out of the
ground.
Now, what are the wants of the
strawberry when planted in the fallp
The soil should be rich and moist but
not wet. 1t matters not whether it be
sand, clay or muck, SO thatit furnishes
an anchorage for the plant and con-
tains an abundance of the elements nee
essary to its growth. 1t should be STIR
red to good depth, but little or no
poor subsoil should be brought to the
surface. 1t is we'll to have it prepared
some little time. in advance, so that it

A letter has been received here from Lub-
book, Texas, giving particulars of the muir
der in New Mexico of j. Mercer Terrillt q
formerly of Richmond, and a nephew of
Mai Clay Drewry, of this city. Young Ter
rill, it will be remembered, left Richmond
a year or more ago to make his home in the
far South.
A few weeks ago Mai Drewry received Il
letter from person in New Mexico, stating
that young Terrill had been murdered. 1t
was thought that there might be some mis-
take, but the letter just received confirms
the sad intelligence ofseveral weeks ago, and
gives the particulars of the killing. The
letter is addressed to Mr.. St. George Coal
ter, of King William, who married Mrs.
Ierrill. mother of the murdered man. 1t
was sent from Lubbock Postoilice, Texas,
was written by H. st. J. Cannon, and was
as follows:
"Terrill for year was in business at Big
Spring. Texas. and carried himself 80 that
he obtained the friendship and good will OF
every one lie came in contact with. lie al
ways bore a good character. About the lst
of last January he left Big Spring and came
up here, where he was well thought of by
every one On the other hand Mcdonald
is. and always has been considered a des-
perate and bad man. He has been lmplica-
ted in several shooting atTrays before tins.
As near rs | can find out the cause OF
the shooting was this Mcdonald told Ter
rill that certain man had robbed store IN
his county last winter. This man heard the
report that was going around, and brought
Terril and Mcdonald together. Mcdonald
denied that he ever said it, and Terrill said
that he did. At that Mcdonald pulled his
revolver and shot him dead.
Last night man coming from that part
of the county brought the report that Ter
rilps friends have killed Mcdonald. 1t
seems that Mcdonald entered the store where
the first shooting occurred There was
large crowd there, and rs Mcdonald left the
store one OF them shot him in the head; he
dropped, and they left him for dead. How
ever he was not dead, but crawled away.
The bows found it outand went out to finish
their work; Mcdonald showed fight and
they broke both Of his legs and arms before
he gave up.
at is reported that there were more than
a hundred pistol wounds in his body and
that he was terribly mutilated. Paul Rex
elins was at the place at the time OF the
shooting, and most likely can give you more
information than can. His postofce adj
dress is Penacskee, Lincoln county, New
Mexico" Richmond State.
Young Terrill was nephew of Mrs. Por-
terield of this place, and the only son of
her brother Gen. James j. Terrill, who was
killed in one of the battles near Richmond.
