The Prophets Predictions Fulfilled-To-
bacco Planting-What Makes Cheat
in Wheat-The Road Question,
Crops and Personals.

To The Tobacco Leaf Chronicle.l
1t has rained every week as l pre-
dicted, and finally a good, soaking
rain, just in time to give the farmers
a chance to plant out what ground
they have ready for tobacco, and re-
lieve their beds of plants that were
overgrown. have known the set
ting to be destroyed by cut worms,
cows and hogs, but never before have
1 known the snail to take hand in
destroying the plants, but such is the
case, and in some sections he is TAX
ing the lead. Plants are plentiful,
and if seasonable from the 10th to the
Goth, there will be an average crop
set. My opinion is that we will have
plenty of ram within that time.
Corn is looking well, considering
the lateness of the planting. Wheat
has improved in looks since the hot,
dry weather commenced, but will
not make over half crop. In many
fields the chess or cheat will be as
plentiful as the wheat. This crop of
wheat should forever settle the long
debated question as to what produces
cheat. We have always believed
that faulty seed, and wheat that has
been grazed too much, or the young
sprouts being destroyed and putting
out second or third sprout, makes
cheat. l think this crop clearly
demonstrates the fact. / further be-
lieve that wheat turned to cheat is
hybrid, and will cease to produce as
much so as mule.
/ am glad to see the road question
being agitated. Our road working,
as it now is, is farce. My expert
ence as road commissioner and over
seer convinces me that there is but
one plan to have good roads, and that
is to tax the land and road workers;
then have the roads worked by con-
tract. Let those who prefer to work
rather than pay do so, but in an eff
cient manner. Any one going over
our roads can tell where the work
was paid for. is there a landowner
around here who does not prefer this
plan? / hope our delegate to the
road congress will take note and gov
ern himself accordingly.

Close of a Successful Years Work.

Prof. d. M. Quarles' Preparatory
School for boys at Howell, KY,
closed Friday afternoon with public
exercises at Douglas Grange hall. A
large audience was present and the
exercises interesting and creditable
to the school. The principal features
were an address by Prof. Quarles to
his pupils and patrons and the deliv-
cry of medals to the boys. Prof.
Quarles' address was pointed, we'll
timed and, like everything he says,
abounded in practical common sense
and good advice. 1t has been his
practice heretofore TO award a medal
at the close of each term to one pupil
for hOnors won. The past term there
were three boys whom he thought
equally worthy of medals, and Wal
lace Vaughan. Austin Peay, Jr., and
Darlington Bacon were each present
ed a medal. They were delivered by
Mrs. Bacon in a beautiful and appro-
pirate talk to the boys. Prof. Quarles
is building up a very fine prepare
tory school at Howell, and he de.
serves the success he has won. Last
term he had students from Clarks.

Uncle Josiah has lost his temper
and turned loose his wrath in denuH-
citation of the "mercenary press, "
the "venal press" and "corrnpt men"
who have had the temerity to criti-
else his record and associations. He
tries to explain out of that lobby
business on the attorney dodge, but
fails to state that he ever received
attorney fees for the work performed.
The more he explains out the deeper
he gets in. He is forced to admit
that he believes the claim of the
State bank depositors is just and
ought to be paid. This he must adj
nit to be consistent; says if elected
governor he would veto any meas
ure looking to its payment because
of his connection with the matter.
Is this not a strange idea of admins
tering justice? Then what would
his veto amount to when the same
vote that passes the act can pass it
over his veto, understanding that
the governor really favored the bill.
Candidates who live in glass houses
should be cautious how they talk
about the "venal press" and corrupt
men,

PLAYING Heaven,

There are three bright little mortals in
Maine--6, and 2 years old respectively
who are very fond of playing heaven" to-
gether, and all in such sweet, reverent
little fashion that even the sternest moral
list could not find it in his heart to say them
nay.
One day their mother sent them into the
dining room to play, while she worked in
an adjoining room. Happening to pass the
door she stopped moment to look at her
little folks, and this is what she saw: The
elder boy was sitting upon the table, as
God up in heaven" his little face pucker-
ed into grave lines. Close by, arranged
one below the other, were high chair, a
common chair, and last, stool--all evil
IDENTIFY representing the ladder" to
heaven. The little 4-year-old was an
angel, and the "wee bit" sister was lying
on the floor, being dead" Presently the
little angel took her in his arms and set out
upon his heavenward journey. 1t was
toilsome way. Up he mounted-frst the
footstooi, then the chair; but arriving at
the high chair his strength suddenly gave
out, and a tired little angels voice mount
ed to heaven, in sweet, coaxing tones; 800

To those who know Robert Louis Steven
son at all it is no surprise that he has de-
cided to live in far distant Samoa, and has
bought himself several hundred acres OF
land. In fact, l question whether Steven
son could do anything to surprise his
friends. The odd and unexpected have be-
come synonyms with his name. doubt
whether there is a more eccentric author
today than Stevenson. He never seems to
know his own mind from one day into
another, and were he tomorrow to turn up
in New York his friends would merely arch
tLeir eyebrows.
Said one of his closest friends to me:
Stevenson is just crammed full of oddi-
ties, and the most unreliable man who
Yields a pen. Let him promise to write
you an essay, story or poem, and it pos
itively amounts to nothing. The next day
he has forgotten it, and before you know it
he is in some heathenish part of the coun-
try or off in the middle of some unreach-
able body of water which defies the mail or
the telegraph. He hates to write letters,
scarcely ever answers single one he gets,
while all the time you are just wild for
copy promised months ago. Eccentric2
Decidedly so; he is more, he is aggravating
almost beyond endurance, and if he were
not such paying card not an editor or
publisher would put up with his Oddities"

j. Savage hasn't changed one iota in the

joke loving man he always was. Irecall a
little incident that occurred some years
ago that shows Mr.. Savage's inordinate
love of fun. 1t was at one of the Church
fthe Trinity's fortnightly entertainments.
Mr.. Savage was sitting on a lounge,
watching the young people dance, when an
elderly female, who evidently had yearn-
ing fondness for clergymen and highly
developed sense of propriety. sidled up and
said: "Oh, Mr.. Savage, do you approve of
round dancing?" "Yes," said Mr.. Savage,
II do, though must confess prefer to do
my waltzing sitting quietly with pretty
girl in an out of the way corner" and he
cast {. languishing glance at the clergy
loving old lady that sent her hurrying away
with an exclamation of horror He then
turned to me and said: you see, my dear
fellow, there's way OF silencing any wo

Thank Cod for lifel Life is not sweet always;
Hands may be heavy laden, heart care full
Unwelcome nights follow unwelcome days;
and dreams divine end In awakening dull
Still it is life, and life is cause for praise;
This ache, this restlessness this quickening sting
Prove me no torpid and inanimate thing.
Prove me of Him who is of life the spring;
am aliYe-and that is beautiful
Thank God for love; though love may hurt and
wound;
Though set with sharpest thorns its rose may
be-
Roses are not of winter, all attuned
Must DO the earth, filed with soft air and free
And warm ere dawns the rose upon its tree.
Fresh currents through my frozen pulses run,
My heart has tasted summer, tasted sun;
And thank thee, Lord although not one
OF the many roses bloom for me.
Thank God for Death: Bright thing with dreamy
name;
We wrong with mournful flowers her pure still
brow,
We heap her with reproaches and with blame;
Her sweetness and her fitness disallow,
Questioning bitterly on the why and how;
But calmly mid our clamor and surmise
She touches each in turn, and each grows wise
Taught by the light in her mysterious eyes
l shall be glad, and am thankful now

quilted, and it is said that he intends
to teach school this fall. He was ac-
quilted through a technicality, and

and his bondsmen in payment of the
embezzled money settled the matter
and cleared Davis of the penalty of
the crime.

Chopped apples is an exported product of
which but little has been heard. They are
made from inferior, unmarketable fruit,
which is chopped into small pieces and is
then dried. They are shipped largely to
France, where they are used for conversion
into cider and are preferred to their Es7me
grown apples, on account of being better
preserved and of finer flavor. The export
trade of this product in 1855 reached Il, 0OO,-
600 pounds, and this amount could have
been doubled in 1889 if there had been suf
ficient of the product to sell. Most all of
the chopped apples come from the orchards
of the northeast.-New York Telegram.
