his conviction, Magoon gave information
which caused several moonshiners in his
vicinity to 90 to the L. S. attorney and
make voluntary propositions for the settle

! way a handsome sum was covered into the
treasury. Magoon himself was poor and

Fig. shows marker which makes
three rows at time, and is plain to the
eye The headpiece is 3x3 inches and is
hinged at A, to permit all the markers to
touch the ground at all times. Without
this hinge, the inequalities Of the ground
would often keep one of the markers off
the ground. b is the guage rod, to the
outer end of which is attached marker
of some sort to follow the last row previ-
ously made in order to keep the rows
straight all over the field. If the markers
do not make the marks plain enough, nail
a piece of plank on the bottom, as shown
at C. 1t is better to have the gauge rod
hinged on post over the central marker,
and then it can be turned over at the ends,
to use in going back.

OLD SONG.

In good old colony times,
When we were under the King,
Three rogulsh chaps fell into mishaps
Because they could not sing:
Because they could not sing
Because they could not sing;
Three roguIsh chaps fell into mishaps
Because they could not sing.
The one he was miller,
The other he was a weaver,
And the third he was little tailor,
Three roguish chaps together;
Three rOguish chaps together,
Three rogulsh chaps together
And the third he was little tailor
Three rogulsh chaps together
The miller he stole corn,
And the weaver he stole yarn.
And the little tailor stole broadclOth for
To keep these three rOgues warm.
To keep these three rogues warm,
To keep these rogues warm.
And the little tailor stole bTOadcloth for
To keep these three rOgues warm
The m Her was drowned in his dam,
The weaver was hung by his yarn,
And the devil clapped his CLAW
On the little tailor, with the broadcloth unde
his arm.
With the broadCloth under his arm,
With the broadcloth under his arm
And the devil capped his claw ON the lit
tie tailor
with the broadclOth under his arm.

Fig. has the gauge rod extending
out on each side far enough to reach the
last row marked. The middle marker is
hinged to the headpiece, instead of having
the latter hinged, which answers the
same purpose. For making four rows at
a time, the hinge in the first cut must be
put in the center of the head, half way
between the middle two markers. In the
second one illustrated, the hinged mark
ers must be at the ends Of the headpiece.
A marker making four rows is rather IN
handy to use, and in practice three marks
will be found enough.
