testament of Frederick Without, to
recover a note of $500. Plaintiff

Louisa WithOff was appointed and
qualified eXecutriX, but that she
failed and refused to pay the note.
Therefore, plaintiff sues and
prays for process, citing Louisa

BICYCLE RECORD.
Over Four Hundred and Twenty-six
Miles in Twenty-four Hours.

Miles in Twenty-four Hours.
Naturally considerable interest
is manifested by local bicyclists in
the trip of our local heelmen,
Praeger and Walters. Their record
is not bad one, considering that
they are amateurs and the cOndi-
ton of the roads on which they
travelled, but when we get record
of over 1926 miles made in one day
on "Safety" their record is almost
as little star to the great sun.
There was an annual bicycle
meeting recently at the London
county grounds, at which upwards
of five thousand people were pres
ent, and the main race was for the
greatest distance covered in twen-
ty-four consecutive hours. There
were eighteen entries from all
parts of England and France and
not a few joined the race on tri-
cycles, making good time, but not
being really in the contest. Among
the contestants was +. w. Shor-
land, who won last years race,
making a record Of 4l3f miles in
"a hours. He was first favOrite
and won easily, increasing his
record by nearly thirteen miles.
The record of this race is as fol-
lowss:
l. f. w. Shorthand, 426 miles 800
yards.
2. F. T. Bedlane, 40 miles.
3. III. Hammond, 39S miles 80
yards.
4. J. II. Cocker, 1888 miles $50
yards.

A New Grating Method for Grape
Vines.

Translated From the Freie Presse:
In order to establish or start a
vineyard with success, the cult
waited cuttings should be grated
on the domestic wild mustang or
postoak vines, as these are free
from the attacks of phylloXera. 1t
is in many cases difficult to OBJ
tain sufficient stock of these wild
wood vines, since each root would
furnish only sufficient nOurish-
ment for one grating.
To overcome these obstacles, a
Texas grape grower, Mr.. A. G.
Whitsitt, of Bell county; has inau-
gurated a new method, and having
been successful during these last
two years, he recommends it high
ly to all who may be engaged in
grape culture. Instead of cutting
the wild vine to the root for graft
ing upon them, he disentangles
the vines carefully from the tree
branches among which they have
grown, and stretches them
along the ground where he
intends them to grow, then
digging an eight or ten inch deep
ditch or trench into which the vine
is imbeded, making side trenches
for any small side branches. He
then splits the vine every eight or
ten feet with sharp instrument
or chisel, and inserts his little Gull
tivated sprigs or twigs into these
openings and fills the bitches sew
eral inches with dirt.
Mr.! Whist has experimental
thus for two years with success. In
one instance one Of these grated
limbs which had been put in last
year have grown sixty feet in
length and several other twigs put
in last February and March have
brought forth fruit. He informs
us that the vines will thrive and
root in all directions and thus fur
nish any quantity of material to
graft upon.
