Tobacco Planting by Machinery.

Squire Alex Baynham reports
planting about done in his dis
trict, No. 4, but tobacco plants are
very backward. Some few who can
vassed their beds will have plants
ready to set in ten days, but the ma.
jority will not be able to plant any of
consequence before June. Mr. Bayn-
ham will set his crop this year with
machine planter, which he thinks is
decided improvement on the old
way, and has no backache in it.

Attention, Subscribers.

The Atlanta Constitution has
notified the LEAF CHRONICLE that
the clubbing arrangements be-
tween the two papers, whereby both
can be had for $2.00per year, will
expire June /.
Those who wish to take advantage
of this unparalleled offer should do
50 at once or the chance will be lost.
A great many have taken advantage
of the proposition all over the
Clarksvile Tobacco District. There
are many more no doubt who have
decided to avail themselves of the
offer who have not yet found it con
venient to do so. This notice, there
fore, is intended for them, and they
are hereby given warning. The
LEAF CHRONICLE alone is worth the
price of both papers, and no one can
afford to let the chance slip, by
which two good papers can be h I'd
for the price of one. Remember the
date, June 1, and send your subscrip.
tons before it is too late. d2t, swat

Indian Ghott, Suppo,sd TO Be Mlschlsv
Gus ami Malicious

Indian GhoJts Suppoaed to ie Mischlev-
Gus ami Malicious.
The dread of ghosts, so well known
TO all unciyillzed and semi.unciyili2ed
countries Is common in the aborigines
OF India TO an unusual degree; the
same may be said OF their Aryan con
querors and the lower classes Of Mo-
hammedans All Indian ghosts are
supposed 10 be mischievous, and some
OF them bitterly malicious. The only
means employed to appease the rancor
OF these unlaid spirits Is TO build
shrines for them and to make them
offerings such as a fowl, pig; and,
on grand occasions, q buffalo. Any
severe illness, and more especially
any epidemic disease such as small
pox or cholera, is attributed to the
malignancy OF certain Of these spirits,
which must be propltiated accord
ingly.
The man-tiger" is, perhaps the
most dreaded Of all the Indian demon
ghosts: for when tiger mas killed a
man. the tiger itself Is considered 5afe
from harm, the spirit Of tho man be-
ing supposed to ride upon the baash ;
head and guide him clear Of all dan
ger Accordingly il il believed that
the only sure mode Of destroying a
tiger who has killed one or more per.
sons is TO begin BY making offerings
to the spirits Of his victims thereby
depriying the animal Of the valuable
services rendered by the gh0stiy
guides. The ghosts most propitiated
are the spirits OF those who have mot
violent deaths whether by design d
accident, including death by poison
and contagious diseases. Ever
wretches who have been hanged iol
their crimes are supposed to have th'
same powers Of causing evil to tn,
living as those who have been killet
BY tigers Or BY lightning. In part
where serpent worship Is common i !
considered q great honor to die from
the bite Of one Of the poisonous crea
lures. st. Louis Republic.

A MOVING MOUNTAIN.
a RAILWAY Pushed Eight Feet out by It
~ a Fnw Yenrs.

A travelling mountain Is found in
the cascades Of the Columbia. II is q
triple-peaked mass Of dark brown
basaIt ak or eight miles in length
where it fronts the river and rises to
height Of almost two Thousand feet
above the water. That it Is in motion
Is the last thought which would be
likely 10 suggest itself to the mind Of
any one passing IT, yet it is a we'll
established fact that this entire mcun-
tain is moving slowly but steadily
down to the river, as If 1t had dellD.
crate purpose some time in the future
10 dam the Columbia and form n great
lake from the cascades TO the Dalles.
The Indian traditions indicate inn
mense movements OF the mountains In
that region long before white men
came to Oregon. ana the early settlers,
immigrants many Of them from New
England gave the above-described
mountainous ridge the name Of
travelling or sliding" mountain.
In It's forward and downward move
I ment the fsre5t5 along the base Of the
ridge have become submerged in the
! river Large tree stumps can be seen
standing deep in the water on this
shore, The railway engineers and the
brakemen find that the line Of the
railway which skirts the foot Of the
mountain is being continually forced
out of place. At certain points the per
manent way and rails have been push
ed eight or ten feet out of line in I
few wears. Biologists attribute thi
strange phenomenon to the fact tina
the basalt, which constitutes the bull
OF the mountain, rests on 5nbstratuu

mighty river IS constantly wearing
away, or TINT this softer subrock is Q
