Harry W. King, Jr., a prominent
business man formerly of Chicago,
was followed up by his wife, who is
the daughter of a wealthy retired
merchant, Of Chicago. King had
married a young lady of Louisiana,
Mo. and had gone to Omaha, Neb.
The wronged wife went to Omaha
with the intention representing King
for bigomy. She repaired to his
room; for some time he refused to
come out, but at last they went to the
parlor. She again declared her pur
pose of prosecuting him. He scofed
the idea and choked her. She drew
a pistol and fired. He ran and she
persued, shooting twice more, from
the effects of which he soon died.
This occurred on the 18th.

What's the matter with our young
people? This season of the year ard
this beautiful bracing weather and
not a single entertainment reported
tor days. We fear that ether at
fractions are diverting our young
men from the pleasing and beneficial
influence of the society of our charm
ing young ladies. Its a bad sign
when social gatherings, parties and
dances are abandoned by our young
Observation-Disclosures
We hear of no entertainments in
these parts. Over twelve months ago
We were urged to lay in a supply of
ball tickets, invitation cards, &C.,
WHICH We did and have only had one

men are becoming too pious.

Will our planters profit by the
lessons taught at the experimental
farm? Tie object of the establish
ment of this farm is to benefit the
farmer by practical experiments. We
have from time to time published
such information as would probably
prove beneficial to our planting
friends. The width Of rows, kind of
fertilizing, &c, should be particularly
noted. From actual experiment it
would seem that four feet rows with
from II to Is inches between the cot
ton stalks PRODUCES the best results
Ofcourse this does not imply that three
or faur stalks should be left to the
hill. From IL to 18 inches with one
stalk and this too where fertilizing is
used.

Very respectfully,
j. L. NORMAND.

THE CAssAvA.-We have received
from Mr.. J. L. Normand, of Hill Side
Nursery this place, Cassava which
measured four feet long and 8 or 10
inches circumference. The Cassava
is specially adapted for cultivation in
southern countries, yielding in rich
soil many tons per acre. 1t is said to
contain glucose and starch. and its
grated roots are used in buildings,
custards, fritters and bread. Its
roots are also used in stews where it
is said to be excellent in taste and
flavor. Mr.. Normond tried the Cas-
sava in fritters and he speaks highly
OF it as an article of food.
But it is not as food for man that
this wonderful plant is more highly
prised, but for stock of sll kinds.
Hogs, cows, horses and even chickens
feed on it. If one-half that is written
Of this TODD plant in agricultural
papers be true, it is the most produc-
tive, profitable and desirable plant on
the American continent. An acre Of
it wnuld mean plenty of seal-fat
horses, larders full of bacon and lard,
milk and butter in abundance, and
chickens and eggs in every nook aad
corner Of the yard, house, kitchen
and hay loft. From the experiel Ace
of Mr.. Normand with the plant, and
what we ourself have seen of it, we
have no reason to doubt the least
thing said in its favor We are so
favorably impressed with its virtue
as an article of food for imam and
beast" that we are going to plant
one acre of truck patch in next year,
and then be safe against any rise in
wheat or other crops, and do away
with adulterated lards and oleo-
margarine butter. Farmers, plant
and learn 70 live at home
Marksville Bulleton.
This is tropical plant said to be
very poisonous, but the poison is
removed by water. After having the
poisonous substance removed it is
called tapioca.

We have been informed that COL
ored alliances have been organized
below here We do not know that
any serious objection can be urged to
this, unless it be that it will take up
too much time to attend and keep up
so many different organizations.
Our soil is productive, but it should
be born in mind, also, that all our
people have contracted extravagant
habits, and just in proportion to the
excess in production of the soil the
desire and customs to consume in
creases.

friend there to attend toit. believe
the cassava will grow wherever the
sweet potato will grow. We dig them
as we want them. The roots will
not keep week out Of the ground,
but THIS does not matter as you can
begin to feed on it long before frost
Cattle, hogs, sheep and chickens eat
it; hogs will quit corn for it.
For buildings, bread and fritters
the roots are grated and mixed with
equal quantity of meal or -four In
frit.crs mixed with corn meal it will
deceive an old FISHERMAN. tits cult
waited about like the sweet potato, ex-
cept it must be planted on wider
ridges and set four feet apart on the
ridge; in the latter part of the season
give shallow cultivation SO as not to
break the roots which usually extend
four and five feet around the plant.
There is no crop that produces more
to the acre on the face Of the earth
than the cassava. So soon as it is
planted all over the South, our meat
will be raised at home, and do away
with our smoke houses in the West.
With few ceres, to the farmer, will
mean plenty of bacon, lard, butter,
chickens and eggs, etc. Cows fed on
it gives better and richer milk.
Very respectfully,

We find in almost every day life
the younger trying. to push the older
OF the stage of action. 1t is COM
mendable to see young men trying to
rise in the world. We admire the
determination; but when the son saws,
'the old man is an old fogy and does
not know how to manage" when
