She took her account book out OF
the draggled dress she had worn
down the canon and looked it over a
little, soon putting it aside. She
tried to read, but the words followed
each other under her eyes in an un-

struggling so TO keep in abeyance at
last seemed to break its bounds and
fill her soul with an irresistible fas-
cination: she dwelt upon it and did
not try to put it aside.
Three nights ago, at midnight, she
had awakened suddenly, being con-
scious OF a noxious presence near, ana
slowly there had grown from it two
dark. gIittering eyes close to her own,
which held her gaze with terrible in

they had been there before her all

Mr. Mache Means Business.

Last spring THE News AND HERALD
reporter took Mr.. Pitts, tobacco
grower, out to see Mr.. Wade II.
Macfie with a view of interesting him
in tobacco culture. After some ex-
p!anation and information concerning
the matter Mir. Macfie concluded to try
ten acres. But the freeze came and
Mr. Macie plowed up the tobacco bed
and put it in cotton. We had lost
sight of Mr.. Pitts until he arrived on
the Sundays train and was met by
Mr.. Macfie from whom we learned
that Mr.. Pitts had arrived to assist
him in a tobacco crop this year.
We admire Mr.. Macfe's determination
to try it over. They are preparing a
bed this week and will sow at once.
If there are any others who mean
business concerning tobacco let them
write US for seed, and perhaps an ar
rangement can be made to have Mr..
Pitts to attend the curing Of it all.
Address THE News AND HERALD and
make known your desired plan of
operations and we will see what ar
rangement can be made.

THE HOG CONTEST.

AS will be seen by our last issue,
the day for weighing the pigs 10 be
entered for the Fairfield prize is the
first day of April. On that day the
pig must not weigh over Is pounds.
Some of our friends think that this
conflicts with the Neus and Co,uier's
race. 1t does not at all. All that is
necessary is to re-weigh the pig started
in the Neacs ard Courier's race-tbat is,
on the first day of April. The reason
we changed was that this years pigs
were scarce, thereby preventing q
great many from entering. Had this
objection been raised earlier we are
satisfied that the News md Courier
would have taken the weight instead
of the age at the stalt They would
have had three times as many men in
the race in this county. But all that
is necessary is to weigh the Ne,cs and
Courier pig on April and push him
along.
We are informed that some of The
fair ladies Of our county have arranged
to enter the contest for the prize hog
this year. Look out, brethren!
There are about twenti five entries
in the prize pig contest already. Get
ready by April /.
You must be subscriber to TIE

tien must be paid up 10 January 1,

terested witnesses who must make

Prepare Your Tobacco Bed as Soon az
You Read This.

It is estimated that u tablespoonful
Of tobacco seed are required to plant a
bed of 100 square yards-that IS, ten
steps long by ten steps wide. This
bed will make plants enough to set out
five acres; but it is safer to double the
amount of seed and also the number
of square yards, namely: Three table
spoonsful to be sown on 200 square
yards, which is ten steps by twenty
steps. You may then have enough
plants for 6, or perhaps 10 acres
owing to success in raising plants.
PREPARING THIS BED.
Pile up limbs, brush and logs about
Is inches deep all over the bed and
burn over, thereby killing all insects
and foreign vegetable matter. Digup
with mattock or plow with small
narrow plows, making the earth loose
and finely broken, but first rake off all
aSGes, COalS Oi lOoIs. III wv e"!N s'ooe'o
so pounds Of fertilizer to every 100
square yards of bed; put Il table
spoonsful of seed to one peck Of ashes,
sow one gallon over the entire bed,
then 60 over again with the remaining
gallon in order to get an even dis
tribution Of seed.
The bed should have log or pole
laid all around its four sides, and a
bank Of dirt should be thrown up to
protect the plants from water and to
prevent cold winds from injuring them.
SOUTH HILLSIDE.
The bed should be set near water on
a south hillside with fine loamy soil.
The plants should be set out in rows
81 feet apart, and feet apart iu the
row. Make rows with four turn
plow burrows. Roll or drag the top
of the bed; rolling is best. Set out
plauts with a stick or paddle about
25th April.
Note-The seed should not be har-
rowed or brushed IN, but tramped in
with the foot or pressed i'll with
spade.
