The Flshersville Farmers Club.

TIE NEW PLAN FOR WHEAT THRESHING.
FIs1IERsvILLE June 1s.-The Fishers
vile Farmers Club, was called to order
to-day by DR.. D. W. Hanger, President,
with the following members present-Maj.
Koiner, w. A. Freed, W. F. Gilkeson, DR..
M. C. Hildebrand, M. L. Leonard, G. w.
G.. Karnes and J. r. Kemper. Minutes of
last meeting were read and approved.
M. L. Leonard of the buying committee,
stated that the Irvine for the club had been
purchased from Wise Bros. & Dore, of
Staunton, Va.
The President wished to know if the
Bylaws in regard to striking off the names
of members who had missed three consecu-
tive meetings should be enforced.
Mr.. Freed thought a little more time
should be given them to send in excuses.
MI. Leonard thought resolution should
be offered to that effect.
MI. KarneS said this was not necessary
as we already had a rule requiring the Pres
ident to strike off the names of any men,
bers who had been absent three times with
out reasonable excuse, and the Secretary
was directed to notify those members.
M. L. Leonard stated that there wei e some
funds in his hands belonging to the club,
and he was instructed to turn them over to
the present Treasurer.
A contract was prepared and submitted
to MI. N. J. Drumheller for threshing the
crops of the Club and baling the hay. This
system which was inaugurated last season:
and which proved SO satisfactory to the
farmers and the thresherman, will be adop-
ted again. We pay six cents per bushel
for wheat and three and half cents for
oats, and $1.s5 per ton for baling hay. MI.
Drumheller furnishes all the hands, pays,
boards and sleeps them. By this arrange
ment all the worry and yexation incident
to threshing is avoided, and the wonder is
that the farmers in other sections do not
avail themselves of similar arrangement.
A party was present representing a fer
tilizer firm and exhibiting samples. The
President invited him to make a bid to
furnish the fall fertilizers, by the July meet
ing.
Owing to a severe storm of wind, rain
and some hail, the members could not at
tend the meeting, and the discussion OF
some important questions was necessarily
postponed until the next meeting.
Notice is here given to the Club mem
bers, that full meeting is very important
the third Saturday in July, as the orders
for fertilizers will be made up at that time.
The heaviest rain for long time fell here
this evening accompanied with q terrific
wind, blowing down a number of trees and
washing the cornields very badly. In many
places taking off the soil as deep as it was
plowed.

A Costly Stree.

On Saturday night, walking on the C. &
o. railroad near Waynesboro, Bob Scott.
colored, who had been drinking, met Frank
Sbafer and another white man and had some
words with them. A moment later he met
a colored man who let him have a pistol
and then following the two white men Scott
fired several shots at them shooting Shafe1
in the leg. Later he fired two shots at
Policeman Wash who was trying to arrest
him. Hewas finally captured in the cabin
of some colored people near Fishersville.
Mayor Wright of Waynesboro sent him to
jail in Staunton to await the action of the

The county Lew,

On Tuesday last, the County Supervisors
laid the levy fol- the ensuing year as fol-
lows-school tax ten cents on the 500; dis
trict school tax 10 cents Oh the 500; road
tax 10 cents on the 500 in all the districts
except Beverley Manor, which is 12a cents.
The increase of the total levy is cents on
the 500. The only changes made in the
figures for 1891 are: The appropriation of
$4,000 for general road expenses, instead of
$1,000; depositum fol- treasurer's commits
sions, insolvent and other expenses ST ,3o2,50
instead OF $500; and the appropriation OF
$4,000 for repairs to jail and $500 for
macadamizing the Middlebrook road.
To meet these expenses $11 900 1.-THE
supposed correct assessed value of the real
and personal property at 25 cents on the
$500 yields revenue Of $2S,362. so, and the
6,454 tithables at so cents each, S., 227,
making total revenue of $31 $3.50.
The appropriation for the county jail is
$4,000, which sum is to be paid with $10.-
600 cash now in hand and levy for 1000.
This $4,000 is composed of the amounts
left over from the general county road fund
for the years 1890 and 1891.
1t is the building of the new jail which
increases the levy: but for that expense, the
levy could be reduced cents instead of H.
creased.
