Fall Flowing,

The primary purpose of fall blowing is
to advance work preparatory to spring
operations, aud it is no inconsiderable
gain. when lands are of such character
that no harm will result from winter ex-
posure of the raw surface But there is
another object that can hardly be regard
ed as secondary when heavy loans and
stiff clays are under treatment. Such
soils are always difficult to manage in
early spring, for they are very retentive
of moisture, partly because they have not
sufficient depth. If plowed in autumn
they can be deepened without harm to the
succeeding crop. provided that moderate
increase of depth be the limit. Too much
of untempered lower soil brought to the
surface will niure the seed bed in the
following spring. But land that has been
titled to the depth of six inches in spring
blowing can be plowed seven inches deep
safely in autumn, and still deeper
at the next fall blowing, continu-
ing in successive blowing, until any
required depth is reached. Trench plow-
ing is better, but it will not be practiced
extensively until farmers have proof of
its ameiorating influence, and they are
deferred by its cost from experimenting
even on fields that would be sure of great
Improvement by the process. So far for the
present some gain from deep fall plow-
ing, and from very thorough character of
the work. must serve as the approach to a
better system. A good point in fall plow-
ing on lands that slope moderately, is to
run the burrows up and down the incline.
This serves in some degree to facilitate
drainage, an important matter in a wet
spring. Then again the time is favorable
for removing distractions In MANY
ways gain is had from fall blowing when
soil and situations are favorable. The
Husbdndnlan.

Justice Court DoingS.

The case of the State VS.. j. Fl. Donald
the Hon. G. S. Mcmillan, Justices, on last
Thursday resulted in the acquittal of the
defendant of the charge of obtaining
goods under false pretences, upon which
he was arrested in Alabama upon Cover
nor Lowry's requisition and returned here
for trial by consent of the Alabama au-
thorities. The State was represented by
Judge Cassidy and the prisoner by r. II.
Thompson, Esq, and the trial was of
more than ordinary interest.
As soon as the prisoner was acquitted
he was at once arrested upon Il charge of
embezzlement. His counsel stated to the
Court when it was proposed to go at once
into the trial of the second case, that Il
special plea would be interposed; that it
would be claimed for the prisoner that he
could be tried only for the otfense for
which he was surrendered by the State of
Alabama, and that good faith required OF
Mississippi that she should set the
prisoner free to return to Alabama SO
soon as our courts had pronounced him
not guilty of the crime for the trial of
which he had been extradited. The case
goes over for future day, but there is
thus presented what appears to be a
serious and important interstate, or, it
might have been said before the war,
inter u atiOnal question.

More About Stock-Raising.


Editor Brookhaven Leader
In q former article in The LEADER l
spoke of stock-raising in general way.
1t is we'll known that grass is the tounda-
ton to all successful stock raisnG-grass
for grazing and grass for hay. My own
observation and the knowledge | gain
from others, leads me to believe that no
better country for stock raising can be
found in any State North or South than is
to be found here in the vicinity of Brook
haven, Mississippi. Every planter tells
the same tale, viz: Grass everywhere
grass in the corn and cotton fields, in the
bottom lands, in the woods, and on the
worn out hill ,sides-cOv them with
heavy coating of rich nutriciOus foliage.
Many persons say, we have been fighting
these new intruders for years with pillow
and hoe and yet the grass is conquerer
and is still holding possession of the soil.
What do these facts teach7 Simply
this lesson. Let the grass remain and let
it grow. Level down the cotton and
corn rows and put the land in condition
to cut the grass with moving machine
and feed it to stock in winter.
On this, the Menelas plantation, we
could Craze in summer on land too rough
for operating machinery at least 400 head
of cattle, and with little improvements IN
the way of levehng the land for ma
chinery, could make hay from grasses
| indigenous to the country that has never
been seeded or planted sufficient to carry
that number through the winter. l have
inst made two or three tons OF good
lespideza hay per acre on land that was
plowed in May and very little other pre-
paration, and have also made one ton pei
acre of nice hay in corn field cultivated
as late as July first, and the hay crop Is
worth quite as much as the corn crop
The same fact applies to all the corn
fields have seen in this locality. The
grass crop in corn fields if utilized Is
worth as much as the corn crop.

An Old Man and an Impressive
Scene.

/ A remarkable and impressive incident
occurred during the noon recess OF the
! Fair River Associat.un on last Monday
/ The Moderator, Rev. +. z. Douglass, who
is the pastor of the Friendship church,
! announced that the church wished to 10
! into conference ut that hour and receive
| into their membership u very old man
who had applied for admission upon a
profession of faith in the Savior. The
applicant soon entered the door, assisted
by his children aud friends and approach
ed the altar, and proved To be Father
Isaac East, man in his 91st year, his
steps tottering with the weight of years
aud his nair as white as the driven snow.
The impression made upon the large con
gregation was profound and solemn. The
cd man bad lived all these years, and
had children, grand children and great
grand children living around him TO the
number of one hundred, and yet never
before had made public profession of
faith in God. He briefly related his re-
ligious experience in the presence of the
congregations; said that he believed that
God for Christ's sake had forgiven his
sins; that he hoped during the short tune
he had to remain in the world to live
bright and shining christian life that he
wished to be baptized and join the Bap-
fist church, and finally hoped to meet all
his friends and brethren with the re-
deemed in Heaven. During the singing
of hymn the old man, too feeble to
stand, was seated in chair OH the plat
form, ana the hand OF christian fellow
ship extended by the church and visiting
brethren. Strong men wept like children
at this wonderful manifrstion of Divine
grace, and all present were deeply moved.
In the afternoon "the new born babe in
Christ was baptized in Il stream near
the church by his grandson, Rev. Isaac
w. East ohths place, which concluded the
impressive ceremonies.
Father East is no doubt the Oldest man
in Lincoln county, possibly the oldest in
South Mississippi. He has lived at or
near his present home since 1872, that
portion of the county belonging to
Franklin until the new county of Lincoln
was formed. He was soldier of the war
of 1912, ard was in the memorable battle
of New Orleans Jan. Sth, 1915, regarding
which he entertains a vivid recollection.
He is now Que of the Government pen
sioners of that war. He has had l9 chill
dren, 8 of whom are now living, and as
stated above, has living altogether u
progeny of over one hundred.

Fair River Association.

This body met last Friday with the
Friendship Baptist Church, 9 miles south
west of Brookhavrn, aud continued IN
session until Monday evening. The As
ISOLATION is composed of u churches-l4
located in Lincoln, in Lawrence, IN
Copiah, and | in Franklin-aggregating O
total membership of 1890 souls. The
amount contributed during the past year
| by the churches for the different branches
of mission work sggregate $2i0.25; fol
ministerial education, sos for sustenta.
ton, $50, besides contributions for many
other religious and benevolent purposes.
A decided increase in membership is
shown, and two new churches, the BOgue
Chitto aud Saron, were added to the AS
ISOLATION.
A very animated discussion took place
on the second day of the session on the
proposition to withdraw fellowship from
three churches belonging to the body,
viz: Oak Grove, Union and Antioch,
for retaining in their membership per-
sous who persist in lending their influ-
ence and example to the vice of intem
perance by voting for and visiting sa-
loons-such conduct being regarded by
the Association as contrary to the plain
letter and teachings of the Scriptures,
and therefO fore violation of the com
pact under which the Association
A. al .,F
the discussion the Oak Grove church
was excluded by vote of rs to
g. and by unanimous consent the
messengers from the other two churches
were refused seats at this session, and
committees appointed to labor with and
try to prevail upon the churches to set
themselves right by the next meeting of
the Association.
DR.. w. S. Webb, President of Missis
sippi College, and DR.. Chas. II. Otken,
President of Lea Female College, located
at Summit, were among the distinguished
visitors present. The body, as u whole,
was made up of the most intelligent and
faithful pastors and laymen within the
bounds of the Association and its cores
ponding bodies.
The hospitality of the good people
around Friendship was put to severe
test by the very large number of persons
in attendance, but they fully maintained
their reputation in this regard and gave
every one cordial and comfortable vel
come. The writer is especially indebt
ed to his valued friends, Mr.. and Mrs. j.
Q. Byrd, for courtcsies and hospitality
extended.
The next meeting Of the Association
will be with Little Bahala Church begin
ming Friday before the 3rd Sabbath IN
October, 1857.
