Her Lover Could Kill Him in q Duel
From the Netg York Press.
CHARLOTTE, N. c., Aug. ia domes-
tic scandal, Astounding in tragedy and Of
a sensational character, has just been made
public at Pigeon river, a small village in
the mountains of Western North Carolina,
by the confession of a guilty wife and
mother as she lay upon her deatboed.
In September. 1878. Burton L. Pharr, her
hush and, a very influential man, fell in a
duel at the hands of his nelghbor, G. M.
Smathers Smathers was tried by the
courts and acquitted, but the exact cause Of
the duel was never known until yester-
day, when his widow. who a short time
after his death married Smathers, told the
story.
Her confession in substance is that she
became infatuated with Smathers ana de-
sired Pharr put out of the way. The morn
ing the duel was TO take place she gave her
husband whisky With strychnine in 1t. and
by the time be reached the spot where the
duel was to take place the drug had takea
its desired effect, and his opponent killed
him at the first fire. Pharr's pistol did not
go off at the word. This confession has
created intense excitement, aud Smathers
will have to leave the country. 80 outraged

AnOtherIdeal Fowl.

With each recurring season one or more
ideal fowls are introduced to the public,
with many claims for excellence. The
leading object among the introoucers OF
new breeds appears to be the production
of bird that will please the fancier with
its fine carriage and rich-colored plumage
and satisfy the market poulterer with the
abundance of its choice meat. A recent
candidate for favor is introduced as the
Argonaut. Concerning the origin and ap.
pearance of the Argonaut the Fancier s
Journal has the following to say:
The origin of the ArgOnauts is the re-
suit of crossing the pea-combed Plymouth
Rock and the crimson game. This was
the first cross, but not proving satisfac-
tory cross of the Plymouth Rock and In
dian game with the crimson game was
made. The different crosses were bred
together and better results were obtained.
But the final steps In the building up OF
this breed were made when some fowls
were used that are described as remnants
of the old. fashioned clean-leeged Shang-
hai or Cochin, SC these Argonauts are a
combination of Indian game. crimson
game, pea-combed Plymouth Rocks and
clean-limbed, old-fashioned batf Shang-
hais. The Argonaut has pea comb, clean
yellow shanks, although occasionally a
chicken may appear with willowy shanks.
The plume &c is buff, with the exception of
the main feathers or the wings and tail,
which show more or less black. The
shape of the Argonaut is claimed to be
peculiarly its own.

Sheep of the Present.

A good fleece and heavy carcass Of
mutton from the same animal is the most
profitable class of sleep for the farmer
who combines this industry with the gen
eral farming. Within the last thirty-6ve
years the average weight of heeces pro-
duced in the United States has been doubt
ed and along with this gain in wool, in
creased size of carcass and quality of meat
has been we'll maintained. Sheep so well
adapted for profitable use on the farm
were never of so high a standard as now.
Intelligence applied in breeding, selection
and mating, as well as in careful manage
ment and feeding, has produced class OF
sheep perfectly adapted to the wants OF
farmers III every part of the country.
More wool, more and better lambs, heavier
carcasses are everywhere noticed and with
the innoviation-a very pant of tap
pear the evidences of greater care, more
generous feeding and consequently better
profits and higher degree of satiof ,cti0n
than under the old system of sheep
raising, when anytbing-if it was sheep
would do to eat of the bushes. 1t is the
high class features of sheep growing that
make the bushes attractive md upon these
depend its future success.-Indiana
Farmer.

Watch Your NeiShbor.

1t is very important matter before
beginning the cultivation of any crop TO
make sure that 1t can be successfully
grown in the locality. TIE experience of
others is the best test oil this What one
farmer in an neighborhood can make
profitable others can grow with eoual
success if they will learn the same con
ditions of soil cultivation and manage
ment. There need be no jealousy in this
matter. What farmers grow has too ex
tensive demand to hurt the market by
any probable number of men in any
neighborhood engaging in its cultivation
To get a large number of farmers in a
locality to growing crop is often the
best means of insurine go d market
Buyers are attracted to places where they
can engage any staple article in quantity.
while those who grow it exclusively have
to hunt their buyers up, and then take
what TIE buyers offers. So it is III the
interest of every farmer who has learned
a good thing to share it with his neighbor
