PRUNING.

Having from time to time recorded
my experiments In fruit culture In the
Oxford Democrat, and as the time is
near at hand when we shall be called up
on to look after our trees, thought this
q good time to mention some Of my
later experience In relation to pruning.
Ten years ago bought stand In this
village (Buckfeld). Upon the lot were
fifteen apple trees, sadly neglected, as
has been my good or bad fortune to find
on nearly all places have owned, and
have owned my share, numerically. A
man well versed In many things pertain
Ing to fruit culture, informed me that
In the late fall at the falling Of the leaves
WAS the best time to prune, as there
would be less water sprouts. Having
bought the place In the fall, aud being
very anxious to get to work on them,
readily accepted his reasoning. The
result: never had so much trouble with
sprouts In all my work In thirty-five
years or more, and they have continued
all the way along. Another thing, the
wound will not heal, and the bark and
the wood seem to have no affinity.
A little over one year since, ! bought
the Nal. Loring stand. On this place
were number Of apple trees, neglected
as In all cases made and provided where
the writer Il Interested. Being anxious
to prune them before the grass was very
high, I waited until about the first OF
May, when freezing nights had passed,
then ventured to operate. The result
was satisfactory. No sprouts worth men
the wounds healed as well rs II
pruned In June, and for fruit the trees
were loaded.
As II IL about time for the stereotyped
recipes for grating wax composed OF
rosin, wax and tallow, i will state my
belief that animal fat Of any kind 10 bad
for the tree. Linseed oil ls my favorlte.
Again, Il dislike to mention again
look for those borers that you overlooked
last fall. You will lind them just below
the surface In the early spring, while II
YOU wait until warm weather they may
be foot or more above In zlg-zag d.
rectiou, making it difficult to reach
them. @. TILToN.

OF poverty stricken inhabitants of this

ious organization, have been aided but
there is class of nOn-church gOers or
members who are in need daily OF the ne
cessities of life, not being able, for various
reasons, to provide livelihood.
At the meeting Of the San Antonio Pas
tors association yesterday morning. Rev.

church, suggested that some action be
taken by the ministers of the city. to or
ganiZe a charity club which will be at
hand at all times to aid the unfortunate,
no matter who they may be or what their
station in life is, moral or otherwise. The
matter was thought well of and Rever-
ends Mclean, King and Monroe were ap-
pointed committee u make arrange
mentS for the organization. This commit
tee will report at the next session of the

A RoUSING MEETING.
George P&schal Endorsed by Over
TwO.Chirds Of the ColOred
NnEara

Although the registration hooks at the
last election only contained the names OF
7l3 colOred voters when the meeting of
colored voters OF this city was called to
order by Walter Patterson the aSSemb-
lage held over twO-thirdS of them were
their. Leaving out |. Ii. Holt and 'Fa-
yette Walker the only Shardein dOnkies
there were by actual court 4s2 colored men
there.
The meeting chose DIR. G. j. Starnes to
preside over il and MeSSrs. Alexander
and Wilson were made the secretaries
and Major Lyons and William Dickey
the SerGeantS at arms.
DIR. StarneS delivered an eloquent adj
dress and eulogiZed the Honorable George
Paschal.
He was followed by Professor r. H.
Harhert' who in lengthy speech stated
the present city administration had .oSt
the confidence Of the people both who
want change. He stated that II Pas
chal got in the books and affairs OF the
city would always be open TO public In
spection and that the financial CONDITION
which he asserted was anything but Hat
tering would be improved. He said that
the tax payers would know ifGeorge Pas
chal was at the helm that the funds of the
city would be expended judiciouSly and
not misapplied for which reason the people
would vote ,liberal loans for the benefit
and improvement of the city and to pay
the salaries of necessary officers. He
charged that the city on account of
scarcity of funds now was unable to pay
off the employees oftener than every three
months, and that she had great many
superfluouS officials who were principally
ornamental and who drew salaries pro-
portionate to the political pull they had.
Several other stirring speeches were
made, after which the meeting unani-
mously endorsed the Honorable George
PaSchal for mayor and adjourned.

ION OCHIITREE's DOUBLE.
How a Reporter Played Him on
Huntington and OIher Notabies.

AprOpOs of the visit of Vice President
Fred Crocker, of the Southern Pacific. a
reporter OF the LIGHT is reminded of a
| trick that he and several others played on
| a reporter who was then on the Express,
and how the latter played even on Them
1t happened about eight years ago,
when Coils P. Huntington, Fred Croker,
senior, Fred Croker, junior, Millionaire
Hood. Nj a Or James Converse, and Col. J.
b. Lacoste were in Crocker's special car,
on their way to SabinaS, Mexico, to in
spect the coal fields there. which the
Southern Pacific shortly afterwards ac-
quired the control of and developed
though Huntington had played practi
cal Joke on Flood and CrOcker Senior,
both of whom are now dead, and the
party were feeling very gay, as Monroe
entered the door. Huntington asked the
reporter, who is that red headed gentle
man?" The reporters reply was: "Oh
that is only Tom OchiItree," whose
drumio Monroe is. Monroe who wanted
to see Converse was introduced by the
latter to Huntington and all of the
balance OF the parry who did not know
him, and when Huntington and bloodhound
out how the reporter had jOkPd them
| they concluded to play even. They saw
that he had made numerous notes while
he was on the car. So just before he left
TIE car, WnlIe L lOOu OTutfeU q hundred
copies of the great morning daily con
| tanning an account of the brief visit of
the dignttarieS, Huntington Swiped the
reporters note book, the disappearance of
which the latter did not miss until he got
back TO the sauctum. He had the papers
Sent, .Owever, and wrote the assignment
up from memory emitting To mention the
loss 0f the note book, however.
About TWO weeks afterwards when
MeSSrS. Huntington, Flood and Aliundal
had returned to California. the reporter
was officially notified that there was a
package at the Wells Fargo express office
| for him which had been shipped C. o. d..
with two dollars charges on it. He had in
the mean time been asked in a ieering
tone by several prominent railway people
| if he had ever had his notebook returned
| and he was given to understand that he
| might receive it ''SOme day" because
Flood and Huntington had no farther use
| for it.
When the reporter therefore heard
where tbs parcel was from ne had it re-
turned to and at the cost of the shippers,
after which they sent the notebook back
| through the United States mail and pre-
paid the postage. Hu ltingtOn, Crocker
and Flood all sending their regards with
| 1t and asking after the health of the San
Antonio double of>T Tom Ochillree.
