from getting in the trough and keeps
the trough from spreading. Use one
piece two by six, and one two by eight
inches, nailed together, with ends nailed
on in the usual way. Take No. 9 or IL
wire and begin four inches from the
end, one side, and staple securely; then
draw the wire across angling to eight
inches from the head of the trough on
the other side, and so on. This gives
each hog space of eight inches.-D.H 81.

THE END OF ALL THINGS

THE END OF ALL THINGS.
Like few other sensible people
Philip and Helen deferred their we'd
ding journey to a time when it came
as welcome relief from the round Of
domestic and social duties for the wife,
and a needed rest from the drudgery
of business for the husband. Philip
had said summer and Europe, but
Helen had pleaded for autumn and the
south, and she had her way.

where it was. I shall always love it,
alive or dead, for what it did for YOU"
And so it came about that on a GER
tain golden October day, when the rug
ged outlines of Jubal mountain were
melting in the soft autumn haze, and
the fragrance of summer blossoms had
given place to the spicy sweetness OF
withered leaves and ripened fruit, a
thinly-peopled train on the Chiwassee
Valley Extension debarked two OF it's
passengers at the ornate station which
aforetime had been too small to ac-
commodate the throngs besieging it
at train-hours. There was no lack of
room now, however, and when Philip
lifted Helen to the platform the empty
train-shed echoed their steps as if pro-
testing against the invasion of it's soil
tude. At the arched entrance, where
the crowd of vociferous hackmen used
to fight for patronage. they were met
by single decrepit negro.
"Hotel, sah?'' he asked, doffing his
battered hat and bowling with touch
of unspoiled courtesy.

the windlass broken, at that" The man
smiled at his own joke and went back
to his seat on the spool of wire when
Philip told the driver to turn down into
the manufacturing district.
In the space between the railway and
the river the air of desolation was even
more oppressive than in Broadway
Tall chimneys standing guard over
many-windowed factories whose walls
had never vibrated with the jar of the
expensive machinery left to rust and
crumble within them; piles of costly
lumber warping and twisting in the
weather; rows of cottages built for the
operatives, tenantless now, save for an
occasional family of negroes living
rent-free in the industrial desert. It
seemed like dissertation to break the
silence. and neither of them spoke until
the carriage had reached the bisecting
street of the old town.

The exclamation pointed at slim

which swung faded sign bearing the
inscription Simon Pragmore, Notary

at sight of the carriage and its occu-

Sea Girt, N. j., Sept. 3.-Georgia contin-
used her victories to-day in the shooting
contests here, and carried away two more
| important prizes. The New York and Dis
! trict of Columbia men are making a fair
| showing against the men from Georgia,
but the New Jersey teams, when pitted
against the pther state teams, have so
far come in last
The Georgians will take hack with them
the Hilton trophy, and the same state
will take the regimental team match tro-
ply, both won to-day. The shooting for
the Hilton trophy of the Georgia team
was exceptionally fine, Lieut.. F. c. Will
son making 101 out of a possible 10j. c.
e. Austin made 81; Corrie of the New
York team also made 81. The shooting
of the New Workers. in the Hilton trophy
match was excellent, and would have
won, but for the star performance of the
| Georgia team.
This morning Gen. Spencer, inspector
general of rifle practice of New Jersey,
administered the oath of office to Capt
George T. Cam of Georgia as inspector
general of rifle practice of Georgia, with
the rank of colonel
Gov. Atkinson had been following the
scores made and, was SO pleased with Capt
CAMS work that he forwarded the APP
polntment and commission to Sea Girt
with a request that Gen. Spencer swear in
Col. Cam.
Col. Cam was a captain in the First
Battalion, Georgia Infantry, and shot on
the team of his orgaization and on his
state team.
The skirmish runs this morning also
decided the Columbia trophy and the New
Jersey National Guard matches, and in
both cases they were won by the Fourth
regiment team. Both of these matches
are open only to teams from each regi-
ment of the New Jersey National Guard.
The last of the skirmish runs necessary
to decide the winners of the regimental
team match was also held to-day. The
firing at the 200 and 500-yard range in this
match was completed on Wednesday aft
ernoon, and that the time the First Regi-
ment of Georgia team was in the lead,
having a total score of 561 points, three
ahead of Its nearest competition the first
team of the First battalion, Georgia In
fantry. The close contest between these
two teams lent additional interest TO the
skirmshng, and there was much glee
among the infantrymen this morning
when they learned their work in the
skirmishes had given them the match,
with score of 1907 points. The scores

State Camp, Sea Girt, N. J., Sept. g.
The winning of the Hilton trophy to-day,
carrying with it the military champion
ship of the United States, gives 20 Georgia
the unprecedented record of winning every
team match that has been codes ted for
at Sea Girt in any one year.
The day set apart for the Hilton trophy
contest has nearly always been one in
which mountaineering scores have been
impossible. and to-day has proved nc ex-
ception to the rule.
The match opened at 1880 o'clock, witt.
an eighteen to tWenty-mile wind blowing
from the north, and directly across the
range. Perfect scores at 200 yards were
cut of the question, and not a few misses
were recorded because of the inability of
the men to stand up in the wind.
AT the completion of the 2OO-yard firing
New Jersey led with a total of S55 points,
with New York following with S51 and
Georgia in third place two points behind
New York. There were no other contest
ants
When the 5O0-yard stage had been shot
Georgia led New York by the narrow mar
gin Of points, while New Jersey was
hopelessly in the rear, AZ points behind
New York.
The match now lay between the Empire
state of the north and the Empire state
of the south, and the excitement was in
tense.
Each team did it's best to roll up the best
score at 900 yards, and to the end the con-
test was superb.
When the last shot had been fired and the
totals made up, it was found that Geor-
gas grand total was 1,OS6 points against
1853 and 1,0OS for New York and New Jer-
sey respectively.
The magnificent Hilton trophy, won in
