Buck From The Dead.

| William Newby of Mill Shoals. White
county, ILL.,, who was buried in a
| trench ON the battlefield of Shiloh on
Monday, April 7, 1862, has suddenly
turned up at his old home in White
county and caused a big sensation
For thirty years the old soldier whose
death and burial are duly recorded in
the war department archives at Wash
ington has been drifting from poor
house to poorhouse and from insane
asylum to insane asylum, strange
and piteous wreck.
Captain Gilbert J. George, who was
then Orderly Sergeant George, saw
Newly fall at Shiloh and marked the
spot where he lay. Two others of his
command were with him whe': he died
few minutes later. When the burial
detail went on the field at night two
days after the battle William Newby's
dead body was found where he had
been seen to fall, and with others he
was buried.
Eighteen months ago a poor old
vagrant was admitted to the White
county poorhouse. He gave his name
as William Newly. He stated that he
had belonged to Company d, Fortieth
Illinois, during the war and had en-
listed from that county.
One day an official of the poorhouse
met the youngest son of William
Newly and told him of the strange
inmate. The son saw the man and
found he was familiar with their home
and farm. Two brothers of the old
veteran identified him and he is now
ut his old home. The injury to his
head has affected his mind and
memory.

them to know, without bothering to
find out how the thing was done.

Thin Your Fruit.

We hope that our fruit growers will
thin well by artificial means and not
depend upon nature and spring storms
to thin their fruit for them. A state
ment is going the rounds that the
rain storm last week did world of
good, from the fact that it accom-
plished the work which it would other
wise have required many hundreds of
hands to perform in thinning out the
fruit from overloaded trees. There is
no doubt but that in some localities
the wind and rain did knock off few
buds and good many blossoms; but
crop cannot be relied upon. This
season of all others growers should
distinctly bear in rnind that heavy,
thorough thinning must be done in
order that the fruit they expect to
harvest shall be of good, merchant
able size and quality. With a large
fruit crop throughout the whole
country, only the largest, finest fruit
will sell to advantage. This class of
fruit can be secured this season only
from orchards that have been heavily
thinned.
We have paid a visit to nearly all
the leading fruit sections and find
that the trees are overloaded with
buds, blossoms and young fruit. If
growers permit their trees to carry
and mature the fruit that has set upon
them, the result will be poor quality,
small, undesirable fruit this season,
and a very light crop Of fruit upon
those trees next season. Nature will
certainly demand a rest from over
exertion and overwork. Watch your
orchards closely and thin thoroughly
while the fruit is yet small, before the
process of forming and developing
the pit has gone too far, as the per-
fecting of the germ requires an extra
effort on the part of the tree and taxes
its energy, vitality and feeding quail
tiles to their utmost. Particularly is
this the case in season like the
present, when fruit has set from the
trunk of the tree to the tips of the
branches 50 thickly that you can
hardly see any portion of the tree. :

usually gathered from the tree, but
as the fruit sets, the ground is white
with falling petals, and these are
gathered and sold for twenty cents a
pound. The petals only are used in
the sirup, as any other portion of the
blossom would render it bitter.
To make the sirup, select and wash,
without bruising, one pint of white
petals of the orange flower. While
they drain on a cloth, prepare a rich
sirup of granulated sugar and water,
the same as for any fruit sirup, allow
ing d quart for each pint of blossoms.
After skimming carefully, drop in the
petals and simmer only two minutes
stir gently, strain and bottle. Seal
while hot. 1t will be of a delicate sea-
green color, retaining all the fragrance
of the flower, and reminding one, when
opened, of an orange grove in spring.

SCHOOL hooks

BY reference to notice in this Issue
signed by the president OF the school
board II will be seen that books are here
after TO be sold st price fixed by law
lately passed by che legislature of the
state ofOhlo, and that the margin of profit
has been reduced to point where there Is
practically nething LEFT for the dealer who
handles them.
In view Of this fact We feel that in jus.
tice to ourselves we must adopt the cash
system for this class Of goods. We make
the same rule for all. which is
All books and school supplies must be
paid for before they are taken from the
store.
This Is not reflection on the honesty
or reliability Of ony person, and the reason
for IT Is explained in word by saying
that the margin OF profit Is so small that
customers might with equal propriety ask
US TO take money from drawer and charge
TITO their account as 10 ask us TO give them
credit for books.
Copy books, spelling b anks, tablets,
paper and other articles easily soiled In
handling, cannot be exchanged after being
taken from the store.
We hope the scholars will buy theiI
books as TAR as possible this week. II all
walt till next Monday and come at the
same hour there will necessarily be much
confusion and delay. Il will not be nee
essary TO defer buying till you have seer
