PEAR RLlGTH.

What has been learned Of pear
blight through extensive inyeStiga-
tion, was recently stated by Prof. II.
f. NanDeman as follows
BY united effort, the pear blight, ap-
pie ard ounce twig blight, which are
all caused by the same germ, can be
held in check TO large degree. The
source OF Infection every spring lies
in the more tender and later growing
branches, in which the disease was ar
rested by the approach OF winter the
fan before. Here it remains dormant
until the warm weather OF spring
starts it into action again. The poi
sOncd juice soon begnS to exude from
the affected part again, and the insects
carry it on their feet TO the tender
floral organs, which soon also become
diseased and furnish additional means
Of Infection, until they die. Whole
trees are in this way sometimes pre-
vented from bearing. Usually the
disease does not become thoroughly
active until the warmer days OF June,
when temperature and moisture are
just right for its propagation then it
attacks the tender shoots and we say.
"The blight has struck our trees"
The only means OF fighting it, SO far
as we now know, is to cut out and
burn all affected parts. When winter
comes, there are very few places In the
tree where the germs are alive-nature
having healed or kept back the disease
from any advance beyond where the
tissues are dead. There are no live
germs in the dead wood or bark. But
it is safe and wise to cut back to clear
sound wood, and moisten the top OF
the stump with carbolic acid, to pre-
vent any germs from remaining or be-
iny left on it from the saw or knife.
The inner bark and wood are OF a
brownish color where affected. 1t is
well to cut below where there is any
sign of disease, 10 make sure Of having
it all. Then burn all brush, although
there can be no lurking contaglon al-
ter the diseased branches are really
dead and dry.

THE MAID / LOI Z.

The maid love has violet eyes,
And rose-leat lips Of red,
She wears the muonShinc round her neck,
The sunshine round her head;
And She is rich in every grace,
And poor In every guile.
And crowned kings might envy mo
The splrndOr OF her smile.
She walks the earth with such grace
The lilies turn TO look,
And waves rise up to catch glance,
And stir the quiet brook;
Nor ever will they rest again
But chatter rs they flow,
And babble OF her crimson lips,
And OF her breast Of snow.
And cen the leaves upon the trees
Are whispering tales OF her.
And tattlc till they grow 80 warm
That. in the general stir
They twist them from the mother branch,
And through the air they fly,
Till. fainting with the love they feel,
They tiuttcr down and die.
And what is stranger stll than all
The wonders OF her grace
Her minds the only thing to match
The glories Of her face.
Oh, She is Natures paragon
All innocent OF art.
And she has promised me her hand,
And given me her heart.
And when the spring again shall flush
Our glorious southern bowers,
My love will wear bridal veil,
A wreath OF orange flowers;
And so care not IL the sun
should founder in the sea
For. oh, the heaven OF her loyo
is light enough for me

SCRANTON MISSISSIPPI. FRIDAY,

while at Moss Point, four miles up

in the State are located. Their com.

Where the citron and olive are fairest OF

And the voice OF the nightingale never is

The grand center OF attraction for
truck farmers is Orange Grove, which
is situated on the l., & \. Il. II. eight
miles northeast OF Scranton. and it
is surrounded by many beautiful
truck farms, orchards and vineyards,
which are owned and operated by
sober, honest and energetic gentle
men. There is also located at this
place a large fruit nursery. Mr.. J. X.
Murray, the proprietor, is well posted
as to the wants Of the people in his
line, while his prices are below all
competitors. Mr. Leroy Perkins is
locating colony four mihs north Of
Orange Grove He has several thou
sand acres Of fine lands for sale in
large or small tracts, and | think you
would do well 10 correspond with him1
Mr. Thomas Swartwout also has IA
large tract OF land on the l.. & N. r.
Il. three miles northeast OF Orange
Grove, and he is inviting people to
settle on favorable terms. While
Jackson county is in the frost belt the
trade winds that blow from the Gulf
temper the cold snaps Of early spring,
leaving vegetation generally unharm-
cd. IL is very rare that we suffer
from drouths, as we have a sub-irriga-
ton and in dry weather its sustaining
qualities are drawn by the sun to the
surface, and vegetation grows buds
and blooms.
The manifest destiny OF this coun.
try is to be converted into rice and
cane farms, orchards, vineyards and
gardens. In few years the land
here Will be as valuable as the fruit
lands OF California. The people here
will compare favorably with any other
part Of the world. They are intensely
Democratic and loyal to w. j. Bryan
and free silver, and there is a general
rejoicing that the blighting hand of
Grover Cleveland has been lifted from
the throat OF the nation.

opened her hand bag and said
"Abraham, ! must fix you up Il bit

"Mr. Lincoln gently lifted her upon
the seat before him; she parted, comb

his black necktie.

alfcctionately asked.
"Wcll, yOu'll do, Abraham, replied
