Fall Care of Shrnbs,

T. il mistake to let shrubs go without

brought into good shape, for by watching
them as growth is made one can see where
pruning and training are required, ana the
necessary work can be done just the time

are more tractable while forming branches
than they are afterward. :.

And lust as the dusk was creeping
Up over the wooded hill,

Spread over it calm and still

With the gold of the sun entWlne.

" General Crook arose shortly. before 2

members Of tho family present at hls bed
side when he passed away. He had no
children. l suppose his death resulted
from an affection OF the heart. For some
weeks, in fact ever since he returned from

complaining of bearing down sensation

did what we could for him in the way, OF

without rallying. 1t appeared to be case
of heart failure, but could not be posi-;
tive about that as had never been called

been some stomachic complications.
Major Randall, of General Crooks staff,
said: 1--WE have noticed for some time
that General Crook was not IN his usual
health. He was man who never CON-
planned and said very little about his suf-

The County Court of Mathews county
has recently decided q question OF tar-
reaching Importance to TINS sectlon OF t ne
State. Some of the oyster planters have
been accused of stalking III parts OF the
natural oyster-rocks. Some tongmen on
Piaukatank river were presented by the
grand Jury for trespassing on the oyster
planting grounds OF a planter. They Justl-
fed their action on the ground that the
planter had a part of the natural rock
included in his stakes and the oysters they
took were from the natural rock in the
stakes. The Court instructed the jury that
nobody could under the law obtain right
10 stake on natural rocks. and if they be-
leved from the evidence that there was
natural rock included in the said stakes
and the defendants took the oysters from
the said natural rock, they must acquit
them. The case was deliberately argued
for the prosecution by Messrs. John b.
Donovan. Thomas G. Jones. George Hun
". and Robert W. Shultice, and for the de-
fence bv Messrs. Robert McCandlish. James
y. Stubs. and Marquis Jones. The Jury
brought in q verdict OF acquittal

lish, James \. Stubbs. and Marquis Jones,
