Plant Beds.

The best plant bed is one made on
newly cleared land, in a sheltered stu
alton, with southern aspect. The
ground should be we'll drained, yet
moist and no way of preparing it for
the seed seems to beat the old-fashioned
one of burning it. This gets rid of all
weed seeds and insects. Having cleared
the ground of all underwood, lay poles
across it every two or three feet; and
on these pile brush wood sufficient to
make a fierce and lasting fire. Let
this burn down, and then rake the
ashes over the bed and allow them to
remain, thus destroying all seeds of
weeds within two or three inches of
the surface. After the ashes have
cooled, then chop them into the soil
to depth of two or three inches, not
more and rake as fine as possible.
Upon this fine surface SOW the seed,
which should be mixed with fine, dry
ashes, or sand, to insure equal distri-
button, and tread or roll in. If the
soil be not rich, a dressing of rich
ammoniated fertilizer should be worked
into the bed with the ashes. A quick
growth of the plants is to be aimed at,
so that they may attain sufficient size
by planting time. 1t is wise and
safe precaution to cover the bed with
tobacco netting, as it both hastens the
termination of the seed and keeps out
the fly, which is frequently most de-
structive just as the seed begins to
terminate. This netting should be
raised six or eight inches above the
surface of the bed, and be so supported
as not to easily crush down by wet or
snow on the plants. A, tablespoonful
of tobacco seed will sow a bed Of 10
square yards. -Southern Planter.

The Raleigh correspondent of the
Wilmington Messenger writing under
the date of Feb. 9th, says:
News reached here to-day that yester-
DAY a. Henderson. beside the railway,
the body of middle-aged negro woman
was found, the hands tied behind the
back and the rear of the skull crushed,
apparently by blow OF bludgeon. The
woman was unknown. The body had
not been struck by a train.
This is a mistake so far as the trag-
edy occurring or the body being found
at Henderson. The dead body of a
colored woman. as above described,
was found near Oxford Saturday night,
and the whole affair seems to be
slrouded in mystery. The body Was
found some distance from the road aud
not near any railway track, in a partly
naked condition, wrapped in an aold
bed Guilt or comfort. The legs were
drawn back and tied as were the hands
as above mentioned. The woman was
a stranger and had not been identified
up to latest reports.

Error Corrected.

AS the item referred to below was
printed in the GOLD LEAF last week,
with the credit due it, we take pleasure
in publishing this. It is not the pur-
pose or intention of this paper to do
injustice to any one, and if it finds
itself in error it is always ready to cor
rect it. The Oxford Public Ledger
says:
In our last issue we stated that a
deacon in Baptist church in Vance
county was requested to resign on
account of politics. This, we under
stand is mistake, as no politics has
ever entered the business of the church.
We deem it to the interest of all par
ties to make this statement believing
that our informant was laboring under
a apprehension.

There is more catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disc use, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incursble.
Science has proven catarrh to be a eOnsti-
shtional disease. and, therefore. requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Camrrh

About Advertisinp

People who do not advertise ART
blind to their own best interests. Thu
great New York merchant of the past
A. L. Stewart, never ceased to advertise,
even when his sales were some $40, OOO,-
900 annually. He never felt that il
would do for him not to advertise. He
had many things it was to his interest
to let the people know about. So he
freely utilized the columns of the news.
papers.
When a man undertakes to do bust.
ness without the free use of printers ink
he shows he is a fossil and is content
with small business and does not seek
a growing business.
1t is a good thing to know how to ad-
vertise. There is great deal in that.
Great advertising firms likeWanamaker,
OF Philadelphia, and q half dozen dry
goods houses in New York, not only adj
yertise very largely, but they have
special men to attend to this and get up
attractive and often novel ADVERTISE
ments.
An idea exists that a good way to ad-
vertise is to have cheap handbills struck
Off and sent around town. We venture
the opinion that this is not the best way
and not really the cheapest way. Satur-
day we found at the door of our residence
eight copies OF a neatly printed circular
We have seen on Fourth street perhaps,
twenty or more circulars of one kind
scattered along and many OF the same
kind thrown in the same yard. The dis
tributors sought to get through with
the job and to do this threw the copies
away by the dozens.
Good, judiciOus advertising will pay.
Be sure to seek the medium that will
reach the greatest number. That is the
real objectin advertising-to make known
to all the wares you have for sale, or to
let everybody know what you have lost
or what you want. 1t is better for the
advertiser to reach 10000 than 5000.
Here is advice that some men do not;
need as they already act upon it, 1t is
something ironical but needed. We do
not know the author of it but he had
good eyes:
don't advertise. Buy rubber stamp
and use it. 1t will make your letter
heads and wrappers look as though you
had all the trade you want. Again if
you wish to boom your town, first starve
the editor out Or compel him to dress so
that the rents and ravels of his coat and
trousers will play tune to the gentle
touch of the northwest breeze, and when
he is seen perambulating around neigh
boring towns in quest of support it will
at once be recognized that he halls from

The Presbyterian Party Friday
Night:
The Sunday-school children and
young people ofthe Presbyterian church
were given a party at the armory of
the Vance Guards Friday evening, and
to say it was thoroughly enjoyed is
entirely unnecessary. The members
of the congregation had prepared an
excellent supper Of sweet meats and
substantials, and from O'Clock until
9 the young folks had a regular &'pic-
ME- eating, playing games and
amusing themselves in various ways
to the fullest extent. The forepart Of
the evening was especially given over
to the smaller children and as they
were satisfied and grew tired they went
home and their place were taken by
the older ones. The occasion was
pleasing success in every way and
proved highly enjoyable to young and
old alike.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
CLOSE OF CONGRESS.

A Great Rush of Legislation During the
Past Week.
The closing " eek of Congress has oeen
characterized by great rush of legisia-
tion. The week opened with the Appro-
priation bills in the follow ing conditions:
The Fertilization bill was law. the
Army bill before the President for sigma
ture. the Military Academy and District
of Columbia bills in conference, the Sum
dry Civil, the Diplomatic and Consular
and the L-rslitive bills had passed both
Houses, but had not reached the con-
ference stage; tile Pension bill had
passed the House and been reportei to
the Senate aud the Naval, Agricultural,
Post Office and Deficiency bills were
awaiting action ut the hands OF the
Senate Committee on Appropriations.
The effort of the Appropriation Conn.,
mittpes to close up the work of the ses-
sion has occupied much of the attention
of both Houses. The Naval bill was con-
sidered in the Senate Monday and
passed, going back for conference with
the House on account of increases in the
appropriations. The Agricultural and
Post Office bills were reported to the
House on Tuesday, and the Deficiency
bill Wednesday. No further action
seems possible in either House on the
Silver or Ant-Option bills. All attempts
20 get the Senate in executive session
have beer vigorously resisted, with the
object of preventing the adoption of the
Hawaiian annexation treaty and the
confirmation of Judge Hanchett.
The general impression in Washington
is that there will be an early session of
the new Congress.
