Years ago in Kentucky old Dav.

the old man while he cracked Jokes
for our edi6cation. All at once be
paused and in stentorian voice said
"Do you hear him, his voice fills a
multitude of space" 1t was Bobsor
in the back yard barking at the stage
driver. Such is the case with a
pumpkin vine in the possession of the
Bannerman brothers. 1t fills a multi.
tude of space, climbs trees and
wanders here and there and it is like
" that it will keep on wandering un-
til it gets over into another precinct.
We made a total failure when we at
tempted to find the Alpha or the

DR.. J. A. Anders is the thirty-6ve-
acre tobacco farmer of tie lamonia

that was lacking was boxes to pack

SOW it in an alluvial bottom, there to
give it more thorough test. We
have faith in it as it stood and hope
at some future time to publish the
results. He, like Capt. Vason and
others, believes in testing grass and
other things and we are always glad
20 converse With farmers of his class.

To the families of the Cromarties,
and DIR. Andres we re-.
turn our double and trusted thanks
for the genuine hospitality extended
to US during our brief sojourn in
their midst. They live at home and

the stranger feel just as though be

Last night was perfect both as to clear
ness and temperature, and vast thronS
went their way TO the Exposition by all
sorts of conveyance. BY electric cars,
wagons, hacks, omnibus and by ShankS
mare" they went.
Few of the visitors tarried to the inside

stopped to look into the various amuse-
ments. which have been before described,
the Morris illusions. the wonderful cat
orchestra and the rest. All pressed on
to the amphtheatrc, where the spectacle
Of Paris from Empire TO Commune

And then came the French troops and
the conflict of mob and soldiery, and the
shooting down of the people, priests and
sisters And Paris burned again, and
the wild scenes of fame, pillage and de
struction were re-enacted.
The display of fireworks followed.
Rockets went soaring high in brilliant

and scattered showers of many hued
stars and golden rain in showers, till
the whole sky seemed filed with rain
bow dust, glittering and cleaning tC

and designs of wonderful beauty came
now, and even the water is lit up with
fire.
