me they had the first frost in August.
On low grounds noticed corn had turned
white by some previous frost. In the
heat of the day L do not notice much
difference between here and the State of
Mississippi. Just now the thermometer

to think of passing through so many de-
grees of latitude from king Cotton's
realm to the land of wheat and potatoes,
in SO short time. es''''3 --s'. u .--'s''4'ss
Through the West the work most gen.

wheat. One farmer on the train said
they were little late but did not, wish

followed the Mississippi river much of
the distance from ST. Louis, Mo-, to Bur-
lington, Iowa, and the corn crop in Mis-
souri, so far as could see, was good, but
farmer who boarded the train some
where in that State said they did not
consider it quite equal to the crop last
year; that considerable land where 1 saw
wheat, corn had been year ago, and he
hoped they might get As cents for the
corn this year. The most of Iowa that

some buckwheat for the first time this
year; most of it was white with bloom

In Mississippi considerable cotton has
been picked but in Tennessee a planter
told me he thought people generally
would not begin much picking for fort
night yet. The dry weather is making
it open very rapidly and will make the
crop shorter than. it would have been
with little more rain at the right time.
[Send it up here, we can wet it down
plentifully-ED. The people generally
go over the crop two or three times be-
fore it is all picked, One man told me
he had been over his crop twice and had
started again. The cotton is better for
being picked in that way but of course
it takes more time to go over it so often.
The cotton as it is picked consistsof two
parts (by weight Oh. seed and one part of
lint; and the bales as they are put up, at
the plantation, after ginning, are meant
to average 500pounds. .l f"'.

81 want you to say to the people
Vermont that they must patronize the
fair in order to have and make it sue
cess. The people should take into con-
sideration that over 100000 worth of
horses were sold out of Vermont as the
direct result of the State Agricultural
Society and Horse Breeders Association.
The State Agricultural Society gives
premiums for large crops, and there is
lone field of corn in Windsor alone of so
acres, the rows being three-quarters of a
mile in length. There is another in
Dummerston of 30 acres. This shows
what the stimulation of fair can do.
Never in the history of Vermont were
crops looking as well and grown so
,cheaply as to-day, which is in no small
degree due to the State fair organization
which was organized at Middlebury in
1915. $40 HaW

Thos. Hill, acolored boy, had three
fingers torn from his left hand to-day
in Gorham's saloon, on Commerce
street while tampering with a car
fridge supposed to have contained
small quantity of dynamite. The
boy says he found the cartridge on
Second street in front of the Arling-
ton this morning and had been pick
ing some kind of clayey substance
from it with his pocket knife. He
struck the cartridge on the face with
the knife to knock the substance
from it when it exploded with the
above result. Those who were in
the saloon at the time say the report
was terrific and that the cartridge
certainly did not contain simple gun
powder.

A LARGE EAGLE
Killed on Yellow Creek by Geo. F. Fen
tress.

The LEAF CHRONICLES Erin cor
respondent writes that Geo. F. Fen
tress killed an eagle on Yellow Creek
Friday that measured thirteen feet
and five inches from tip to tip and
weighed "a pounds. The bird was a
female and had lived in the neigh
borhoOd for seven years, swooping
down on lambs and pigs, giving the
farmers trouble and soaring their
wives half to death, and causing the
children to keep a lookout for her at
all times. 1t seems from what the
correspondent writes that Fentress
decided to get rid of the pest, and
with view to that end purchased a
Winchester rifle and began watch
for her. He succeed d on Friday in
getting within about 30 yards of the
gigantic bird and killed it with a
well directed bullet from the Win
chester.
Accompanying the letter sent to
this Office is one of the eagles claws,
which measures y inches in
the stretch. The claws, proper,
are about two inches in
length and are nearly as sharp as nee
dies. This claw was sold for rs cents
and the other brought so cents. The
wings, tail and head were all sold at
high prices.
Ii there is man in town who dis
credits the above, he is invited to call
at the LEAF-CHRONICLE Office and

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
Judge Warder Kills his Son-in-
law, 8. M. Fugette.
Chattanooga Shaken to it's Foundation
by the Terrible Affair. Full
Particulars Of the Bloody
Conflict.

To-day's American has the par
ticulars of terrible tragedy which
vas enacted in Chattanooga yester
lay morning in which Judge War
der, city attorney of Chattanooga,
killed his son-in-law, s. M. Fugette,
wounded his daughter, Mrs. Fugette,
and was in turn seriously shot by
Fugette. Judge Warder was shot in
wo places, one ball penetrating his
breast at the right nipple, and the
'ther took off his index finger of the
left hand.
The following particulars of the
Dreadful affair are taken from the
American:
"Mrs. Fugette is the only child of
Judge Warder, and is shot in the
right thigh, very dangerous
wound. From the evidence at the
Coroner's inquest it appears that
Judge Warder came home at
O'Clock in drunken condition and
Immediately went to Mr.. and Mrs.
Fugette's room, where the shooting
took place as soon as he entered.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fugette lived with
Judge and Mrs. Warder on College
street.
There were seven shots fired, five
by Judge Warder, and two by Mr..
Fugette. 1t appears Mrs. Fugette
was the first person shot, and Fugette
then fell dead, shot through the
heart. He was found with news
paper in one hand and pistol with
two empty chambers in the other.
Mrs. Fugette was lying over him,
with her arms entwining him, pit
eously crying for some one to save
HIM.
Judge Warder staggered into a
neighbours house and is now in pre-
carious condition. Mrs. Fugette is
also unable to speak, and what took
place in the room, aside from the
shooting, is not yet known.
"Mr. and Mrs. Fugette have been
married but two years, have lived
happily together and have five
months-old baby. Mr.. Fugette was
a young man of about 80 years of
age, and successful business man.
Mrs. Fugette is a very handsome
woman
Judge Warder is one of the best
known lawyers in the State. For
six years he was United States Dis
trict Attorney for the Middle DIS
trict of Tennessee, appointed by
President Hayes. He was brave,
gallant Union soldier, and is one of
the most prominent of Republican
politicians in this State

An Eloquent Sermon.

DR.. Soars chose as the text for his
Sunday evening discourse, the words
of the Savior to one of the several
Scribes and Phairasees who were
suhjecting him to most rigid and
confusing examination-"And when
Jesus saw that he had answered dis.
creetly he said unto him, thou art not
far from the kingdom of heaven"
Mark xii, "a.
The minister stated that these
words of the Savior meant more
than first appeared from a casual
reading OF them-Or rather, they did
not mean what they seemed to mean,
from superficial reading. DR.
Sears made a very happy selection OF
subject, for it afforded him an OPP
p rtunity to deal with a class of per.
sons precisely like this Scribe, discreet
and possessed, mayhap, of all kin
dred virtues, yet they are not saved
but how close they are to the king
dom Of heaven! at the very line OF
demarcatiOn, in fact, the next step
fetching them into the fathers king
dom, perpetually safe from the pos
sibility Of being lost. The grace OF
God IS the missing element in the
lives Of a multitudinOus host rep
resented by this Scribe. Burning
words were they wherein this grand
old man depicted the consequences Of
such living. His auditors gave him
strict heed and apparently were pow
erfully touched. incidentally in his
sermon he referred in his we'll known
terse and srathin2 way to the baleful
influences of fashionable society, 50
called, its principal and most mis-
chievous adjunct, the ball room and
that whirlpool of iniquity, the mo
dern theatre 49, that Scylla and
Charybdis that confront the
youth of the land and wreck SO many
noble lifeboats. The aged divine
grew unusually eloquent and impress
sive at this point when it became
his duty to advert to the deplorahle
fact that Christian mothers and
Christian fathers are seen at these
places. Then what wonder is it that
their children not only do not set
any wrong in it, but have their par
ents' example as a seal of approval
Of their attendance upon the theatre
and the ball room? 1t was a sermon
of feeling, power and argument.
