During 1852 he combined with

the paper attained an Influence second
to nooe in the church.
In May, 1882, he vas elected one Of
the bishops of the Methodist Episcopa
Church, South, but declined ordination
because be felt at that time that he
could not lay down the college work
be had in hand. In the latter part of
1882 be was made agent Of the John +.

years while continuing the presidency
Of the college, and thereafter until
1890, devoted his attention exclusively
to the work of the Slater fund.
10 May, 1890, he was again elected
bishop.
Bishop Haygood was one of the
strongest men ia the Methodist Church.
He devoted his life's labor to the work
Of extending the interests of the
church. AS president of Emory COL
lege he did a wonderful work and it
was through bis efforts that the Seney
hall was secured. During his admins
tratiou there was 100000 secured 10
appropriations.
Upon his resignation at Emory Bish-
op Haygood made trip to California
with the purpose of establishing a con-
ference there. Quite number of we'll
known divipes of the Southern Chur %
followed him there and located perma-
nently in California.
He was called from California to ac-
cept the position Of bishop. He devos-
ed all bis energies to the work of the
church recently and it was on trip to
conference in Tennessee that he was
first stricken with paralysis. This oc-
Cured early in November and it was
thought at the time that he was fatally
affected. About the middle of Decem-
Der he rallied and was able to attend
the Arkansas conference later 10 the
month. This vas his last work. He re-
turned home much weaker and gre"
worse each day.
It was from his literary work that
Bishop Haygood was best known. AS
an author his ability received national
recognition. His Brother in Black
was translated into many languages
and was recognized as one Of the
strongest productions on the race cues
ton. Other works are DO less note
worthy. His last book, The Monk
and the Prince has received the
highest praise everywhere.
Bishop Haygood has large family
Miss Laura Haygood, the well
known missionary, is his sister.

In the western prairie states wood
Is perhaps the most extensively used
runtcrial for flooring stables for stock.
u Is largely used on account OF ifs con-
yenience and general adaptnbility,
though there is a growing feeling that
IL is on the whole quite satisfactory.
The plank floor Is short lived, IL IN

above al il is Objectionable for horses
that are confined much TO the stall.
For cattle and hogs the same objec-
tions prevail to considerable degree.
Cement floors are gaining in favor and
are quite acceptable though rather ex-
pcnsiye. They should also be covered
with plank for horses. The cement
floors In the new station barn have
been In use over year now and have
given good satisfaction. When well
beddcd they are very satisfactory for
cattle, hogs and sheep. The station
floors were made By laying three
inches of concrete composed of FIVE
parts OF clean, sharp sand 10 one Of
Portland cement well mixed and
packed well on foundation OF sand
and gravel. and the surface was then
finished with three-quartcr inch COW
ering OF cement and sand in proportion

worn well even where horses wearing

Barrel kites" are the novel invention
of Miss Nellie Ross, Of Fruit Vale, Cal.
says the New York World. Three
months ago she demonstrated Their
practicability, and since then has
proved, as she claims, that they fly
higher than any other kites ever made
on the Pacific coast. A recent visitor
to what Miss Rose calls her "kitery'
saw simply very clean and neatly
whitewashed back yard. Against some
deserted henroosts leaned some queer
cloth and bamboo objects that looked
like fattened balloons with the ends
knocked out. The largest were five feet
high by four feet broad, and they were
Of all colors. The string used in flying
them Is about two miles long.
The young kite-fyer, who holds that
every woman should have hobby and
who thoroughly enjoys hers, makes all
her own kites. Then she flies nine or
ten at once, to the great edification OF
the surrounding neighborhood and to
the delight Of the small boys, who are
always willing to help haul them in.
Each kite is named, and mckinley"
and "Grover" compete with those bear
ing less famous names to see which can
climb the highest. Barrel-kite flying
Is said to be as pretty as it is success
full, and California's champion kite
flyer wears her distinction very grace
fully.
