shape. Prosperity is returning and
business is revivlng. The good crops
OF the farmers have much to do with
this. After all, the greatest of all re-

ID. d., president of Greensboro Female
College, which occurred Monday
morning, removes an able and in
huential man and one of the most
useful and honored members of the
North Carolina Conference. Previous
to being elected to the presidency Of
this school, DIR. Reid was for many
years editor of the Christian Aal0tatf,
published in Raleigh, which position
he held with marked and conspicuous
ability. he was a young man, in the
very prime of life, being but 4S years
old, and his death is as lamented as
his loss IS great to the State and the
large body of Methodists, the cause Of
education, Christianity, and society.

EN- JUDGE SPEIR WHITAKER has
written letter touching nominations
of Democrats by the Republican -Popu-
list State convention. 1t does not
require any brain puzzling to see who
the willy and eccentric "jedge' is
striking at. He says:
As to what might do under certain
circumstances | will say that if | had
been put on the Popul!st Republican
ticket would have openly accepted
their nomination and done my best to
defeat the opposing ticket, or | would
have declined their nomination, forbid
den their use of my name, and stood
side by side, elbow to elbow with and
shared the fate of my old Democratic
comrades.
Still, Mr.. Whitaker fails to say lust
what he would have done under the
circumstances, and the atmosphere is
no clearer now than before he said
anything. Let him answer the question
rs to whether he would have declined
the nomination rendered if he hap
pened to stand in Judge Clark or
Judge Connor's shoes Since he has
said what he has many who know his
love of place and power would be
interested to know what his decision
would have been.

Fruit Tree Culture.

A writer in the Western Ag-
riculturist gives these rules which
are of wide application: /. Instead
of trimming up" trees accord
ing to the old fashion, to make them
long-legged and long-armed, trim them
down, so as to make them even, snug
and symmetrical. 2. Instead Of
manuring heavily in a small circle at
the foot Of the tree, spread the manure,
If needed at all broadcast over the
whole surface. 3. Instead of spading
a small circle about the stem, cultivate
the whole surface broadcast. 4. Prefer
a we'll pulverized, clean surface in an
orchard, with moderately rich soil, to
heavy manuring and IA surface Gov
cred with hard crust and weeds and
grass. 8. Remember that 1t Is better
to set out ten trees with all the neces-
sary care to make them live and
flourish than to set out a hundred
trees, and have them all die from care,
lessness. @. Remember that tobacco

if properly applied to them, and is one
Of the best drugs for freeing fruit trees

Europe is very much at peace. The
talk Of armament and war has tenn

the reigning topic. The Empresses of
Germany, Russia and Austria are
about to meet at Abbazzia, the great
naval station of Austria ON the Adri-
attic, and 1t is announced that the three
Emperors will probably meet at the
same time. The Emperor Of Russia,
who has been very seriously Ill, needs
a warm climate in which to recover
from the effects Of his sickness; and
his brother monarchs may meet him
there. 1t is also expected that the EN-
peror of Austria will pay visit To

that Francis Joseph has visited France
