and is to-day independent. He does not
compost, but drills in his rotted cotton
seed, manure and commercial fertilizer
separately, and cultivates carefully and
thoroughly.
The success of these gentlemen and of
several others might mention is due to
liberal and judicious fertilizing. Fertil-
izers have a remarkably good effect on
these. pine lands, which would not, I'M

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. 19.-That the
steam yacht Leo, which sailed from Lor-

storm is certain. The Leo had nine men
on board and all persisted. The beach

morning. They were the battered re-
mains of Con. r. Ritter and r. ID. Law

The beach at the point where the bodies
came ashore is but a narrow strip of
sand backed by a high bluff and the
heavy seas 10Y rolling make it almost
impossible for the searchers to venture
down to the shore. In Lorain there is
sorrow and desolation, for the Leo's pas
scngers were prominent men. The little
town has sent out a large number of men
to aid in the weary watch.
