Hence the names of earthnuts. ground
peas, etc. If q nut, it is unlike all other
nuts in being an annual plant. and in
bearing its fruit below the whole body OF
the plant. If pea it is unlike oil other
peas for the last reason just named, and
because its seeds are loose in hard shell.
But whatever they are, whether nuts OF
peas, or both or neither, everybody likes
and eats them. Where was John yes
terday?" we inquired of gentleman
whose son we had missed from his usual
place the day before. He was sick yes
terdsy. He went to the fair the day be-
fore and ate too many peanuts. He can
no more keep from eating peanuts when
he sees them, than pig can help eating
corn" We incline to the opinion tha,
the human taste for peanuts is about as
natural as the pigs taste for corn. But
pigs like peanuts too. One writer OF
authority on the paying crops of the
South, says of Spanish peanuts: They
are superior to all other varieties of pea
nuts. They will do well on poorer land
than any other variety, and will produce
from two to three tons of forage per acre,
and from forty to sixty bushels Of nuts,
thirty pounds to the bushel. The forage
is superior to have as food for stock, and
especially for cows giving milk. The
nuts are worth fully double as much as
corn for fattening pigs or other animals:
The nuts sell at the highest price and
will average from one dollar to one dol
lar and fifty cents per bushel. If raised
for stock food, simply NOW the vines
when the nuts are ripe, and turn the pigs
into the field and they will do their own
digging. If the nuts arc to be saved, plow
up the vines and nuts, and with a fork
lift the vines from the ground, shake off
the dirt. and place in shocks to cure. as
they will cure better and whittier than If
left on the ground. The nuts will be
ready to pick in about ten days.
Peanuts are about the same trouble to
raise as potatoes, and one man can cult
vate forty acres. The value of the for
age from such field, at ten dollars per
ton, would be eight to twelve hundred
dollars; and the nuts from forty acres
would bring from two to three thousand
dollars; averaging twenty-five hundred
dollars net profit from one mans work. +"
Peanuts can be raised anywhere that
Irish potatoes will grow, provided Jack
Frost does not interfere. But cold
blooded Jack is King for a part of the
year in the Northern states, and the pea
nut, like many other profitable crops in
the South, shrinks from his withering
touch. They have been raised by anna
teur gardners in northern New York; but
owing to the risks of cold, will not be q
paying crop north of Virginia.

Raleigh. n. &.
Here's Honest John with nice fresh
peanuts hot from the roastel, A large
paper of peanuts for five cents Who
has the next? You? Here YOU are. -
Such were the words we once heard on
the grand stand at county fair in nor
thern New York, as Honest John sold
bushel after bushel of these nuts which
are not nuts, and peas which are not
peas.
I've four bushels of ground peas; do
YOU want to buy themT' These words
we heard in store in a southern town.
These little incidents indicate in some
degree the extent of the consumption of
these nuts, and the different names ap-
piled to them. While generally recog-
nized by the name of peanuts, they are
also known as earthnuts. groundnuts,
ground peas and goobers. No word full
iy and correctly names them. They have
q fibrous shell, like some nuts; but they
do not grow like nuts.
The plant is an annual creeping vine,
hearing a cluster of fibrous shells, con.
taining loose di-cotyledonous seeds, at OIL
inst below the surface of the earth.

OK BOARD TRAIN. May 16.-Repres-
enting the ever wide awake Thomas
County CAT, your correspondent took
the $50 train this morning for MankatO
| to attend the second and last day of the
convention of the Northwestern Kansas
Editorial Association being held at Man
kato. Having partaken of hearty break
| fast in one Of the handsome dining cars
| of the Great Rock Island Route" we
were ready for business On our arrival.
The convention assembled during the
morning in the new and cOmmodiOuS
court house. The unfinished business was
soon completed and the meeting then
adjourned until next year when it will
be held at Clay Centre. Before adjourn
ing a resolution was adopted expressing
thanks for the many favOrs extended the
fraternity by the citizens of Mankato,
| who opened their homes in a most cor
dial and happy manner. 1t was the good
fortune of your correspondent to partake
of the hospitalities of the Rev. Mayo and
wife at their pleasant home. The town
was decorated in holiday attire and pres
ented fine appearance.
Last evenings grand banquet was CIV
en- the association members by the citiz-
ems which is said to have been most en-
joyable affair
Dell Valentine was elected president.
and j. l.. Brady, secretary for the en-
suing year.
This afternoon at 4:40 O. clock one hun
dred and three, ladies and gentlemen,
started on an excursion to Galveston,
Texas, over the Missouri Pacific. The
train from Mankato to Concordia was in
charge of the affable Charley Stiles. Ev-
eryone aboard the train is in high spirits.
Next week we will give you an account
of our trip to the Gulf. We expect to
reach Galveston Monday, May 19 at 1875

S.-Politics is not a part of this con-
vention. but we could not help but not
ice the frequent remarks in regard to the
result of the congressional convention
recently held in Colby. The opinion
largely prevailed among the press repres-
entatives that if Hon. E. j. Turner had
received justice, he would have been
nominated by a good majority, and that

AMrsterious Murder.

WATERFORD, S. c., October 21.-A
CHASTITY sight! That is what met the
gaze Of anxious visitors to Morrells
boarding house on Water street, in Wal
terboro. They were drawn there by the
news of a murder committed few min
utes before o'clock Tuesday night
Mantha Crosby was the Victim. Who
the perpetrator of the crime was is
mystery, and will doubtless remain so.
No one saw the hand that held the
knife with which the woman's throat
was cut from ear to ear. AL is conJec'
ture. For the purpose Of obtaining
some information, concerning the mur
der. a Press reporter called at Mr.. Nor.
rell's and was told the story which is as
follows:
Mr.. and Mrs. Morrell were sitting in
the piazza Of their boarding house, when
few minutes before o'clock, the mur-
dered woman rushed to the door holding
her hand to her thsoat, from which the
blood was flowing plofusely. In mo-
ment they realized that the woman's
throat was cut, and she was asked if
she didit. She shook her head negative
ly. She was then asked who did it. She
tried to say something, but was unable
to utter word. She lived probably ten
minutes after the fatal cash had been
made. She was in the dining room OF
kitchen washing dishes when the attack
was made, and it is thought that the
murderer came up from the rear Of the
house. Mantha Crosby was white
woman, though prostitute of low
character.
