A TERRIFIC STORM.
1T DESTROYS PROPERTY AND DAMAGES
THE CROPS, ETC,

Our friend, Mr.. A. J. Ward, of
Gliden, this county, writes us this
week that, the most terrific hail and
wind storm that has been experience
ed for many years passed through
that portion of the county last Sat-
urday evening. the 23ri, sweeping
property and damaging crops where
ever it struck.
He says, the wind blew down all
Of the oat-houses on the farm Of Mr..
Abram Pearce, and his dwelling
was burned to ashes, caused, it is
thought, by tightening striking the
building. Everything the man had,
except the clothing upon his fam
ily's back, was totally destroyed.
Had Mr.. Pearce and his family been
at home they all would have been
killed.
The neighbors responded prompt.
ly to Mr.. Pearce's needs and raised
nearly fifty dollars for him.
The cotton crop just over in Gates
is completely lost, The corn crop
is badly damaged, and will have to
be cut Off near the ground; but the
corn prospect is better than cotton.

MAKING MELON VINES PRODUCTIVE.

If the melon patch is running too
much to vine, pinca the ends Of the
growing shoots. This will cause
sprouts to start nearer the root, and
the sap concentrated in these will be
turned to fruit bearing, rather than
to making useless leaves. When a
melon sets stop the growth a little
beyond it, to concentrate the sap as
much as possible on the fruit.

THE MISTAKE OF A MuGwUMP.

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The following paragraph is taken from lead
ing editorial in "The Springfield Republican" of this
day:
Notwithstanding the large cash balance of 5000
600 paraded by the United states Treasury at the ehd
Of August, the Department still shows remarkable
iudlspssition to redeem the matured IL per cent
bonds II the money be spared, the bonds plainly
shoula be called in and cancelled. But the Secre-
tary in allowing holders to determine at their leisure
whether their bonds shall be continued at per cent
or redeemed meantime allowing them per cent in
terest seems TO say very clearly that the money cannot
be spared"
Now you win observe that the editor plainly and
specifically states that the Secretary of the Treasury
will allow the holders of the IL per cent bonds
per cent interest whether they presented for con-
tinuance or redemption, and that too right in the
face Of the circular issued by the Secretary Of the
Treasury on september ., and printed In the columns
of "The Springfield Republican in its Issue Of septem
Der g. in which the holders Of the IL per cent bonds
arc publicly notified in language clear concise and un-
mistakabe that the interest at 12 per cent all
the bonds OF said loan will this day. In acc1rd
ance with the terms Of the circular of June ., 1891,
but bonds presented for continuance under this circular
will bear interest at the rate Of per Cent per
from September . 1901" After reading this, is 1t
possible for any one save the ptaby ignorant the
fOpelessly ubiquitous individual To fail in compre
heding that such IL per cent bonds presented
for Continuance will bear interest at the rate of per
cent per annum from september >, 1891
