OBITUARY.

Died at her home in Bolivar, Tenn,
Jan. Is, 1891, Mrs. Fannie P.'Wellons
aged Al years and four months.
1t was with unfeigned sorrow that the
many friends of this lovely christian re-
ceived the sad tidings of her death last
Saturday.
Mrs. Wellons was the daughter of J. G.
Adams, Esq, who at one time was a well
known citizen of this community, and the
sister of G. G. Adams, Esq. of Birming-
ham, Ala, for a number of years the Ell
ficient Cle.k Of the Circuit Court of Har-
deman county. She was born in Nc
Nary County, and for while lived in
Arkansas, but by far the greater part of
her life was spent in Bolivar. When
just budding into womanhood she was
married to Mr.. c. NJ. Wellons, one of our
we'll known citizens.
At an early age, she gave her heart to
Christ, uniting with the Cumberland
Presbyterian church. Alter her marriage

church, of which she has been devoted
member for nearly twenty years. For
some years her health has been poor, and
for seven months she has been confined to
her bed. Throughout her long and pain
fuI illness, she exhibited an mistaken
faith in God and truly ChrIst-like sub
mission to her Fathers will, which.
while constrained by tenderest humani-
ties to cry out, "if it be possible let this
cup pass from me-" yet added, never

beginning of her sickness, husband and

their bereavement, have the sympathy Of
many friends. But, while We must mourn

A life of such immaculate purity is
not lost, but is a lasting benediction in
the community where it is passed. Being

Rowan County, N. G., and moved
to Hardeman County, Tenn, in
1882. HIS defendants run back

FARM TOPICS.
POINTERS FOR FARMERS CLEANED FRON
VARIOUS SOURCES.
A ROSTER OUTLOOK.

Pittsburgh StockIhan.
A great deal is said just now in the
public press, and said with great deal
of reason, too, about the excellent pros
pect for agricultural prosperity. Aver
age prices are higher now than they
have been for many years, and for the
staple products on which farm prosperi-
ty must depend the outlook is quite
good. So far as the farmer is interest
ed in the markets he inds them now and
prospectively more to his mind than for
number of years. Another circum-
stance which looks well for agriculture
is the fact that the agitation now in pro-
gress is bound in some way or other to
result in the removal of sundry abuses
which have been hostile to agricultural
prosperity. Notwithstanding the chaos
of opinion so generally manifested, we
have faith that one of these days the
common sense of the combined yeoman-
~ of this country will rise equal to the
occasion, and turn the great movement
now in progress to the best possible ac-
count in securing the future of agricul-
ture in the directions in which that fu-
ture is now menaced.

NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE.

At Salem, Mass, in the most untidy
part of the town, stands an ugly little
house so dilapidated that the threshold
almost overhangs the curb. This was
the birthplace of one of Americas great
est move elists-Nathaniel Hawthorne.
The room in which he was born has not
been altered since. Far different is the
home in which he wrote. This COM
Portable old manse, still standing at
Concord, Mass. Without, it is old, gray
and unpainted; within, it is snug, cosy
and attractive.
A charming little story illustrating
the sympathy and devotion of Haw-
thorne's wife is this: One winter day
Hawthorne was notified at his Office that
his services were no longer required.
With great heaviness of spirit he return
ed to his home where his wife, seeing
that some misfortune had befallen him,
stood waiting by his side to share his
sorrow. At length he told her his
trouble, but she heard it with beaming
eyes. Then she touched the sad man
on the shoulder, and as he looked into
her face, said: snow you can write your
book" That was enough. The clouds
cleared away and the lost office seemed
like cage from which he had escaped.
Thus ''The Scarlet Letter" was written,
and grand success was the reward of
the author and his brave-hearted wife.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
The warm support which President
Harrison gave, in his San francisco
speech, to the Nicaragua Canal project
gives additional interest to the latest
news from the work. A recent letter
from correspondent of the New York
Times, who accompanied the Warner
Miller party to Nicaragua, gives the
clearest account of the condition of the
enterprise which has yet reached this
country. A breakwater over one thous-
and feet long has been constructed,
which gives a good entrance to the
canal. A second breakwater has pro-
gressed 400 feet, and very soon there
will be capacious harbor at the mouth
of the canal. The opening through the
forests of the lowlands has been COM
pleted to the foothills, distance of
eleven miles. The canal has been ex-
cavated for 1900 feet inland from the
mouth, and for that distance has 200
feet of water. The opening through
the forest is 486 feet wide. The canal
excavation is 270 feet wide The dig
ging is by immense dredges, and these
now advance twenty-five feet a day.
The greatest depth of excavation on
the divide will be 327 feet, and the
average $50 feet. The company build
ings are numerous and capacious, but
their construction has involved mini
mum of expense. All affairs of the
seem to be well managed.
The whole work is being pushed with
great energy and care. A railroad is
under construction parallel to the canal.
and it is already in operation for nine
miles. The care with which the line
has been established is shown by the
fact that there has been the rate of
miles of surveys for each
mile of the canal as finally located.
While the work is one of great magni-
tude, there are no engineering difficulties
in the way of its rapid and easy execu-
ton. While the enterprise is one in
which the whole country is deeply in
terested, it is readily seen that the
valleys of the Mississippi and its great
will receive special benefits
from the ease with which Western COM
merce will find its way to the Pacific
when this is completed.

THE BLUE JAY.
Philadelphia Times.

Philadelphia Times.
Beyond question the blue jay is the
prettiest of the American cone bills
AS his name indicates, blue is the pre-
dominant color of his plumage, and ii
runs through all its most beautiful
shades along his back and tail until L
merges into silver white on his breast
He has heavy, pointed crest of dark,
yet brilliant feathers raised above his
head. His eyes are large, fierce and
radiant, and his bill is short and strong.
He is somewhat larger than the black
faced red bird of the South, which he
resembles very closely in shape and in
the way he flies.
The common cry of the blue jay is
harsh and disagreeable, and it sounds
not unlike 'de-jay delay" but his love
notes are tender and sweet, ''too- loo loo, "
as if his mates name was Lulu. He
cannot be tanned and is quite unlike
himself when Gagged.
Like some persons that you and Ihave
known the beauty of the blue jay is his
only attraction. His habits are singular,
ard he does not walk in the ways of
nor in the paths of peace.
He is regular dude, smart, disagree
able tattler, an overbearing bully, a
murderer, a robber and petty sneak
thief all combined. Yet he seems to be
supremely happy all the time; perhaps
it is because he has no conscience.
1t may have been these vicious traits
of the blue jay that gave rise to curious
legend among the colored people of the
South that this bird owes to the devil
one days work in each week, and that
at precisely one minute past o'clock
every Friday morning all the jay birds
start for the lower regions to render the
service due to their master. Of course
this is only fancy, which sprung from
the dreamy brain of the idle negro, yet
many close observers of nature will tell
you that blue jays are rather scarce on
Friday. Do you ask why? That is a
conundrum that cannot answer.

ALL SORTS.

Sowed corn is one of the very best
crops which can be grown for fodder,
whether to cut off and feed green, or for
ensilage, or in the shape of dry stalks.
Thoroughly prepare rich ground, put the
seed in well and secure large amount
of good rough feed at comparatively
small cost.-The Wisconsin Expert
ment Station says that rolling land
makes the temperature of the soil at fif-
teen inches below the surface from l
to 80 warmer than similar unrolled
ground, and thus better fits it to nour-
ish vegetation. Farmers who have
been retarded, this spring, by rainy and
cool weather should remember that mil
let and Hungarian grasses are both good
for hay. When cut and cured, millet
hay should always be stored under
shelter-Horses degenerate by being
used too early and too severely. No man
can afford, from an economical stand
point, to breed a valuable mare at the
age of two years.-We would repeat
our old advice-plant a row or two of
sunflowers along the sides of the corn.
Sunflower seed for poultry, &C., are val
liable in the winter.-Of four buffa-
loes received into Golden Gate Park,
Cal, three died during the effort to be-
come acclimated. These animals do not
flourish near the sea, but only on great
plains high and ddry.-Gdrden and For
est publishes gorgeous representation
of New Hamshire sugar maple and re-
marks: "This maple is universal ia
vorite, and one which planters never
tire of using, and no one ever tires of
seeing it in Northern fields and waysides
when it is at home" We take leave to
say, however, that the Kentucky sugar
maple is much finer tree in size and
appearance, though much neglected for
sugar providing purposes than
FIVE thousand dollars have been sub
scribed toward the monument to Audu
bon, the naturalist, which it is proposed
to erect in New York City.-Califor-
MIA truck farmers complain that a sim
gle county has more acres in asparagus
than is credited to the whole state in the
census bulletins, while egg plant, which
goes Eastward by the carload, and other
vegetables extensively grown have no
mention whatever.

LEOPOLD BLOOM, long one of the
most conspicuous "plungers" of the
Chicago Board of Trade, announces his
permanent retirement, With fortune
estimated at s1,00O,000 or more. He
seems to be one of the few large winners
who "quit the game" when far ahead, but
in the amount of his wealth he appears
to be hardly equal to "Mike" Mcdonald,
also of Chicago, who made his money in
less pretentious gambling houses than
the Board of Trade. Mcdonald can
qualify on a bond for s2,500,000, so
that even in the amount of money
sometimes made, the Chicago Board of
Trade seems to be not so very far ahead
of faro banks and poker rooms.
