a few days ago. The parties under
arrest seem to be the right ones, as
Leonard's wife and step son both

that the man and woman cOnSpired to

get his life insurance amounting TO

about $3.50 p. m. after Leonard had

all night in which TO cover up their

as the woman Was found in the act
of cleaning away the blood marks.
The man was arrested at his work us

A few days ago a teacher in one of our

class on definition of words and the writ

''means false" and she told one of the
scholars, a towheaded boy, to write on
his slate a sentence with ''deceitful" in it.

IV.-L'ECOLE MILITAIRE AND VALENCE.
When Cadet ~Bonaparte, in the autumn
of 1884, was promoted TO the Military
School in Paris, he was in his sixteenth
year. He had now made his way by
stages, beginning with his tenth year,
from his native place to the capital Of
France; and If of France, then of the
world. Three months at Autun, four
years-and morc-at Bricnne, and now to
the school in Paris. At the last-named
place he was destined to remain less than
a year. Thus far he seemed to be rising
toward a career of activity, if not of dis
tinction; but there was never a time when
his pathway was more clOuded than dur
ing his stay at L'Ecole Militaire.
The school at which he now became q
student was the best in the kingdom. II

prior to that time for nearly thirty years
they had manufactured cigars in New

While Messrs. Stratton & Storm are
developing their enormous properties,
in the expenditure of thousands and
thousands of dollars, Mr.. Duval has ex-
erted every influence in behalf of the
farmers along the line of his road, hay
ing employed special agricultural agent
for two years to visit all the farmers to
encourage them in the cultivation of to-
bacco, also to aid them as far as possible
with his advice to obtain best results
from all crops. Mr.. Duval sent over tc
the Island of Cuba and purchased q
large quantity of Cuba seed from the
Vuelta Aba o district. These seed were
distributed through the territory trav-
ersed by his lines and instructions were
furnished as to best methods of grow
ing and curing for market. In this way
the growers were enabled not only to get
the best seed, but had an expert to in
struct them as to the best method OF
cultivation and harvesting of the crop.

soil in a most reckless manner: as a rule
no fertilization was used, the hill sides
were allowed to waste, and the result
was that many Of the finest plantations
in Middle Florida had actually degene..
ated; in fact the plantations owned by
Messrs. Stratton & Storm, were practi
caly reclaimed; hill side bitches and
terraces were cut and made, a system
attic fertilization for tobacco was estab-
lished, the principal fertilization used
being cottonseed meal and ordinary
barnyard manures, with sufficient nj.
trogen fertilization, by the turning
under Of pea vines in the fall, which soon
reclaimed the land to produce as abund
antly as virgin fertility. This objecr
lesson by this company has been of in.
calculable good to the farming classes
who have adopted the methods upon the
Stratton & Storm plantations. Indeed
farmers from every section of the State
have from time to time visited the
Stratton & Storm plantations.

sUMATRA TOBACCO INDUSTRY.
By far the most important part of
this industry is with reference to type
Of tobacco grown fAom imported Sum-
atra. The United States has been i'm
porting tobacco from the island of Sum-
atra since 1880, and the imports have
increased from yea" to year. 1t has
been demonstrated beyond contraven-
ton that this high grade type of tobacco
can be grown in Leon and Gadsden coun-
ties in Florida in it's highest state of de-
velopment. Experiments have been con-
Quoted TOR the last four years with i'm
ported Sumatra seed, but it has been
exceedingly difficult to obtain a suffic-
lent quantity of pure seed to raise an
entire crop. THIS difficulty has now
been overcome by the expenditure of a
large amount Of money, and it is safe to
say that the counties of Leon and Cad
sden will in round numbers produce not
less than 3, 500 acres of Sumatra tobacco
grown from the best type Of pure Sum.
atra seed next year, a very considerable
quantity having been grown this year.
The growing Of the high type of Sum
atra leaf in Middle Florida has directed
the attention Of tobacco buyers through
out the United States to this section
this season, at least dozen of the lar.

tives in the field, purchasing this crop,
the result being that to day, fully 80 per

Most people think they are too old to

as to be forced to carry belt at all times,
and, when my suffering became beyond
endurance, would put on the belt draw
ing it tightly around me and buckle it,
thus bringing an extreme pressure over the
kidneys; this, undoubtedly, forced the
urine out, function which the kidneys
themselves had become too diseased to per
form. My condition l put down to a
strain l received. l began taking Doan's
Kidney Pills. After two or three days l

standing, while had tried many remedies
without any relief whatever The pain l
have experienced at times from straining
