The Woodawn Farmers Club met at the
residence of Mrs. r n. Gibbs on the 2iat oil
Anrii President Pierson in the chair. III
the shserca OF any report from the commit
tee on fertilizers the subject of corn planting
YVES introduced. Il. w. Bunt asked if those
who had been raising corn IN drills were
ratis :!ed with the results, which received an
affirmative answer generally. One advan'
iase claimed for ii was, being dropped 80
closely in line it allow, d very close working
which otiset in good degree any disad
vantage from not being able TO work both
ways. The planters that professed to drop
in Iows both ways did rot give satisfaction,
sud wheat drill with all the holes STOP
ped but two, made very satisfactory plant.
ei; then fertilizers cauId be put on at the
same time and run through all the tubes il
so desired. The wheat drill is liable to drop
1t too thick, but it can be thinned cut after
wards though + E Mason thought his corn
where it was quito thick. produced as much
grain and more fodder nan on the thinner
portions. By using the drill corn can be
planted as fast as the ground s plowed.
John Balleneer would harrow just before
the corn comes up 10 prevent weeds from
starting.
]. n. Gibbs advocated the use Of more
double culliyatera as great saving Of labor.
The query, Does white or yellow corn do
best here2 was not definitely answered.
There are different varieties Of both kinds,
adapted to difierent soils and situations; il
is subject for experiment. The tendency,
on going south, appears 10 be for varieties
to run more to stalk. There would not be
so much corn planted if grass conld be got
to stand better, but this il a serious draw
bach; in This vicinity. Some thought if more
limo was used it would remedy this in q
large degree but opinions differed az to that.
A w. Harrison thought if timothy was
cut earlier, as soon as it came in blossom,
aud not pasiured afterward, it you'd stand
much better.
The critical report was read by A. W.
Harrison, which showed that this farm,
managed by woman and worked exclus
lively By colored hands. in its general cond
ton and apparent produciiveness was equal

farms represented by this club. The hnid-
ings, fences, stock and crops all in
excellent condition aud spring work well
advanced The milk dairy is the most im.
portant interest, consisting Of about thirty
cows. all fat as is all the other stock. The
committee thinks it pays better to grazs rye
than to cut it, as it can be fed earlier and
longer. The question was raised whether it
pays o keep hogs where the milk is oil sold.
It was doubted, though The discussion de-
yeioped the fact that very Intelligent

CireumstantiaI Evidence.

An interesting case of circumstantial evil
dence ending in confession is reported from
gu Ohio town. Between two prominent
ctizene bitter feud had at one time exist.
ed, but it bad apparently died out. Their
names were Thos Simpson and VIM. Mitch.
ell. One day just as farmer who was
ploughing came to the road and started 10
turn his team around he behed sight
through the hedge which riveted him to tho
spot. He saw man who WAS holding a
horse by the bride bend over the form OF a
man lying in the road and pull dagger
from the breast Of the latter. 1t was muir.
der and the dead man was Thos. Simpson.
The farmer notified the authorities, and
James Walker, whom he had SEEN pull the
dagger from the murdered man, was arrest
ed. He was stranger, and maintained
that when passing along in tho road he had
come upon the dead body of Simpson and
dismounted When he was tried Mitchell
the murdered mans old time enemy, man
eyed to be chosen upon the jury. the trial
was an exciting one, aud when the jury 70.
tired everybody expected prompt conyic-
ton. But the first ballot stood eleven for
conviction and one for acquittal. Mitchell
positively refused to vote for conviction, and
stood firm against the arguments and expos
tulations of the others. They reported to the
Court they could not agree and were sent
TO the jury room. On their way back one of
the jurors asked Mitchell "Why is it you
cannot agree with us and fDd q verdict of
Guilty?" II know the man ia not guilty"
Being unable to agree the jury was dis
charged. The indignation ran high when it
became known to the popnace that the jury
had disagreed, and q mob at once organized
to lynch Walker. He was taken from the
Jail and rope procured, but as it was being
placed about his neck Mitchell appeared in
the crowd and in a loud voice demanded
that they hear statement from him. He
told them that they we're about to hang an
innocent man, for it was he who had muir
dered Simpson. He had met him in the
road where the body had been found, the old
feud between them lad been renewed and
he had killed him. He insisted that
instead of furnishing an Innocent man
they now hang The guilty. He went
on to say that he had thought
that il ne could get on the jury he might be
able to secure Walkers acquittal and at the
same time save bis own neck, but rather
than see an innocent man suffer be would
give himself up. 1t was dramatic scene
Amid the most profound establishment he
was heard through and when he foished
Walker was released The record shows
that Mitchell vas afterwards convicted and
executed.
