Gross Carelessness.

During the war with the South there
was certain company OF raw recruits
marching rapidly TO the front Their
way TO the outpost led along Vir-
ginia road which stretched over rolling
country that was dotted here and
there with clumps of trees. At q
turning they saw ahead of them q pine
grove which grew about hundred
yards TO the left OF their path, but they
were unaware that In its midst squad
Of rebel cavalry was lying In ambush.
As the company got abreast Of the
timber the guerillas opened q scatter
ing fire on their flank. 1t was the first
time that the recruits had heard bull
lets singing over their heads, and,
moreover. they had no idea that the
enemy was within five miles Of them,
&C that they were uncertain how to re-
gard this demonstration. The SQUAD
halted, undetermined what to do; and
one big German. after putting his
hands TO his mouth trumpet fashion,
shouted toward the trees: s.Stob
shooding," and then turned excitedly
to the officer In command, exclaiminc:
..Whal de- tcvil dey apoui7 Don'd dsy

In portions of the country where
hickory, maple, and white oak abound,
little use Is made of the soft woods rs
fuel. Many regard them rs nearly
worthless for that purpose. In the
west, where wood for fuel is scarce,
farmers have been advised to plant
hardwood trees for producing fire.
wood. They have been told that hard
wood Is worth twice rs much Us soft
for heating and cooking purposes,
while the expense Of cutting and haul
ing Is nearly the same. Admitting all
these statements to be correct, IL dons
not follow that 1t is advisable to plant
trees producing hardwood ii the object
Is to obtain fuel in the shortest time
possible. The maple, hickory, beech,
and white oaks are of very slow growth.
Trees set out In ones childhood will
not be of very large size when the
planter reaches old age. Most of
these trees will not grow well except
on soils that are very favorable to
them. Willows. poplars. and white
wood trees, however. will grow almost
anywhere. They are easily propagat-
ed by cuttings as well as by sowing
the seed. Their growth is very rapid.
Especially is this the case with the va
rious kinds of willows. They are
among the first trees to put out leaves
In the spring, and they continue to
grow until heavy frosts appear in the
fall. Good fuel can be obtained from
willow trees that have been planted out
but five or six years. As soon as the
trunks are cut of sprouts will appear.
which In the course OF few years will
become stately trees. The wood Is
certainly not the best 1t Is, however,
very easily obtained. and will prove
better than most persons suppose. The
trees should be felled and the wood
cut In suitable lengths early enough In
the season to allow it to become thor
oughly seasoned before the approach
OF winter. 1t will dry well II the bark
remains on the wood. Many think
that 1t dries better II the sticks stand
nearly upright than IL they are corded
up. When dry, the wood should be
protected from the rain and snow.

HE SHOT HIMSELF.
Mr.. Thomas Cronan COMMITS Suicide
at Meanwhile.

at Meanwhile.
At about o'clock yesterday morning
at Manville, in this county, on the Flori-
da Southern railroad, Mr. Thomas Gro
nan, a young man about 80 years of age,
suicided by shooting himself through the
head with a revolver.
The particulars of the sad affair are
very meagre, and we were not able to
learn the positive cause of his rash act.
We learned that he recently made trip
to Chicago, where he went on d spree,
and on returning to Meanwhile, declared
it to be his intention to quit drinking al
together, and signed pledge to that
effect. On giving the pledge to a min
lister, he remarked that, should ne ever
violate it he would kill himself. Thurs
day night he went over to Interlachen
where he became intoxicated and re-
turned to Meanwhile about 2 o'clock yes
terday morning. On going to his room
he wrote two letters, one addressed to
Mr.. w. II. Mann and the other to his
sister, in which he probably gave rea-
sons that impelled him to take his own
life. After finishing the letters, he woke
up his roommate, young man named
Joe Blencoe, told him goodbye and
gave him his trunk key. Mr.. Blencoe
thought Cronan was only drunk, and
| did not attach any Importance to what
he said. But, as it turned out. Cronan
was terribly in earnest, for at 3 o'clock
yesterday morning he placed q revolver
to his ear and fired, the ball killing him
| instantly.
! 1t is also said that he was recently en-
gagged to young lady in the neighbor-
hood, but from some cause the match
was broken off, which seemed to affect
him very much, and this fact may have
had something to do with his act. We
could not learn what the contents of the
letters he left were, as no one in Palatka
/ knew.
The body was inferred at Meanwhile
| Yesterday.
