twelve years old, the cultivation
should be shallow, keeping the surface
soil thoroughly pulverized three oil
four inches deep. The finer the soil
is kept the less moisture will escape
by evaporation.
Had the trees In our orchards been
planted far enough apart and properly
cultivated, the per cent Of dead and
damaged trees would have been far
less.
A horticultural and vegetable fair
could be very successfully held some
time next fall. There are rooms in
Wellington where such fair could
be held There is no reason why this
could not be done, provided we have
anything like a favorable season for
the growth Of fruit and vegetables.
The rext annual meeting Of the
State Horticultural Society will prob
ably be held in Wellington. This will
give the people Of Sumner county an
opportunity to hear the different
phases Of horticulture discussed by
the leading horticulturalists Of the
state. Sumner county fruit growers
ought to make an extra effort to show
those who may attend the meeting
what we can do in the way Of growing
fne fruit.
Organization will materially help US
in this direction, therefore let US
come together and reorganize our
local society. Everyone who possibly
can attend are cordially invited to
meet in the council chamber in Well
lington Saturday, February 16, at
O'Clock pm. Papers in the county
please copy. GEO. W. BAILEY.

81 Love the Lord"

The above words were spoken by
Samuel Baird's little Charley, who
was eight years, eleven months and
three days old. When about to start
to the present term Of school his moth
er requested him to be good, kind and
impartial to his school mates: that he
must treat them kindly, making no
difference among them, to which
Charley replied, II must treat them
all alike for love the Lord. 1t may
appear almost unreasonable to some
to learn that this child was a standing
reprOof for morality. He was intel
lectually bright; learning rapidly at
school and manifesting no pleasure in
immoral conduct, such as many boys
delight in so much.
Although Charley appears to have
been an exceptionally good boy, yet
God in his wisdom called him home
the 23d inst. from this sin-curSed
world. How true it is that Gods
thoughts are higher than our thoughts
and his ways higher than our ways"
God help Bro. and Sister Baird to say
the will Of God be done. for he says
"all things shall work together for
good to them that love the Lord"
Charley's little house, in which he
had lived while with his parents, was
placed in the cold ground On the 18th,
and on account Of extremely disagree
able weather the funeral sermon was
omitted until 3p. m. Of the 9th. The
mourning friends have the sympathy
Of many acquaintance which was
fully demonstrated at the sermon, the
house being filled God grant that
all who read this may be as well pre-.
pared when the signal of death comes
as the subject Of this article.

world, JOHN W. MCLAUGHLIN.

A Small Cyclone

Yesterday will aforementioned as one
of the StormieSt in the history of this
county. About half past eight in the
morning strong gale from the north
suddenly sprarg up and blew all day.
Just as the first dash passed the wind
got into a sort Of a tangle in the
neighbOrhOOd of Hunters mill and a
small cyclone rwas formed which
struck the smoke stack of the mill
and blew it down. The stack was
seventy-fve feet high and was COM
pletely demolished down to the roof.
Fortunately it fell to the south and
did not strike any part of the build
ing. The loss will amount to about
$500 and necessitate the shutting
down Of the mills for ten days or two
weeks. The loss is more than covered
by cyclone insurance.

1t is with regret that we learn of
the removal from our Eidst soon to be
made by DR.. L. S. Campbell and wife.
They will leave tomorrow for Anth-
ony where they will make their fu-
ture home with H. Straw, a brother of
Mrs. Campbell. Mr.. Straw is a rail-
road conductor, and being alone, he
desires that DR.. and Mrs. Campbell
take charge of his home, as he can not
be there much of the time. This VEN
cradle couple now removing from our
city will be greatly missed by their
friends who have been made more
numerous by their long and useful
residence in this city. DR.. Campbell
was one of the early pioneers Of this
country and a former loyal promoter
OF Wellington interests. He is quite
a heavy property owner here yet, and
feels an interest in Wellington, al
though he anticipates removing so
soon, to reside. DR.. and Mrs. Camp

Horticultural,

The last meeting of the Sumner
County Horticultural Society was
held in the old court house on Friday,
May 5, 1892. At this meeting a picnic
was arranged to have been held the
Saturday after the cyclone struck
Wellington. This catastrophe put az
end to the picnic. Since then no
meeting of the society has been held.
1t has been suggested that a meeting
be called for the purpose of reorganiz-
ing this society. 1t seems unneceS-
sary to offer any argument to prove
the need and benefit of good, live
organization Of this kind.
While the last two years have been
very disastrous and discouraging to
the, fruit grower, land many of our trees
have been killed or badly damaged,
some varieties worse than others, this
would indicate to the tree grower to
plant the trees that have been dam
aged the least by the past two years
drouth. Two reasons why the past
two years were so disastrous to fruit
trees. may be stated as follows: Too
close planting, lack Of surface cultiva-
tion. Apple trees ought not to be set
closer than 3Sx16i feet apart. Trees

Obituary.

Thu subject of this sketch, Miss
Mona Hopper, was born Oct. 18th
1878, and died Jan. 10Th 1895, of that
dreaded disease, consumption.
She was the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. S. c. Hopper, late of Portland,
Kansas, but now living in the new
land known as the Strip" Mona
was converted about year ago and
lived a consistent Christian life up to
her death, and died a triumphant
death, and went to live with God and
the angels forever. The funeral ser
vices were conducted by the writer at
the old Cleariale cemetery in The
presence of a large crowd of weeping
and sympathizing friends, after which
her remains were laid away to await
the resurrection morn. She leaves a
large number of relatives and friends
to mourn her loss, but our loss is her
gain, so we weep not as those who
have no hope. ]. E. OWEN.

Prohibition,

the saloon properly guarded by wise
legislation or a continuance Of the
prohibitOry law imperative as it is,
with officials and citizens continuously
violating the law.
1t Is a notorious fact that cities in
effect license saloons az a means OF
raising revenue in direct violation OF
the constitution and laws Of the state
while officials disregard their oath Of

same time are held up as loyal and
honorable citizens, teaching the rising
generation that 1t is right to violate
the constitution and laws with impun.

these crimes, while the clergy tolerate
them. Can loyal citlzers consent that
these things shall continue? No, the
law must be reasonably well enforced
or repealed.
With some additional legislation
the liquor traffe can be regulated and
illegal sales practically prohibited.
How can it be accomplished?
First-A law making it a felony
for any Official to collect or use for
himself or for any other purpose any
money for the sale Of intoxicating
liquors.
Second-A law giving the informant
