Mr.. j. G. Williams, foreman of the
Herald office, has an apple tree which
for producing fruit beats the record.
The tree has borne four crops this

fifth, which because of the frosts will
not mature. The four different crops

fourth crop now being in the of1ce'

The BOdy'S Tenant.

A Chicago paper reviYes this story
ON John Adams:
The ordinary polite inquiry. How
do you do?" calls for nothing but a
conVentionnlly polite response. But
If man is past "the allotted age"
aud a philosopher besides, it may
elicit reply full of meaning and
worthy OF record. When John
Quincy Adams was so years old he
met in the streets of Boston an old
friend, who shook his trembling hand
and said:
"Good morning. And how is John
Quincy Adams todayT
"rhank you," was the ex-preGidents
answer. "Jvhn Quincy Adams him

With that the venerable sixth presi-
dent Of the United States moved on,

NO Longer Tolerated,

The time when drunkenness was

Many intelligent persons have been
amused and many more diIsusted by
Mark Twaln's sneerI at the "VIcar of
Wakefield"
1t appears that Mark Twain was 90
delighted to tud that certain ships
library did not contain a copy of
Goldsmith's masterpiece that he could
not refrain from proclaiming his Joy
at the omission.
According to our humorist the
"Vicar OF Wakefield, is "a strange
mensgerie Of hypocrites and idiots, Of
theatrical cheap john heroes and
heroines who are always showing Of,
OF bad people who are not interesting
and good people who are fatiguiug.
A singular book Not = sincere limo in
1t, and not character that invites re.
spect."
While very little In the way Of
reasonable criticism can be expected
of man who has poor opinion Of
Shakespeare it is surprising that even
Mark Twain should perpetrste such
fn absnrdity AS that we have quoted.
There is simply no sense iu what he
says. To speak of the characters in
the "Vicar Wakefield" as "theatricAr"
Is silly. A more palpable falsehood
was never written about = book.
If Mark Twain did not fud these
characters interesting it was bis own
fault. We have heard OF people to
whom apples were nauseatiug aud Of
others who could not tolerate music.
Such freaks do not prove that apples
are unWhOlesome to healthy personS
or that music is destitute Of beauty.
When mans taste differs radically
aud lrreconcilsbly from those of feVery-
body else the just conclusion is that
his taste is bad.
If Mark Twain is right In his eSti-
mate of the "Vicar OF Wakefield" then
the millions to whom that book has
given delight aud consolation arc iu-
capable of forming a correct judg
ment of its merits.-Atlanta Journal.

The Promised Bill.


The notice of the bill which Gen
CatchiUgs is preparing to introduce at
the coming sSISlon Of Congress, is
only what he gave notice of in the last
session at the time Of the overflow.
But it will elicit none the less interest
from his constituents that it has been
promised. Such bill sets up the
mark toward which levee policy tends;
the assumption by general government
of the completion Of the arduous and
momeuteus taik of protection from
food rAvages. That the goal will be
won in the first effort, or even the
second is scarcely TO be expected. But
the claim 10 the right Of oVerfloWed
protection once having been made,
must be pressed upon all future oc-
cAsions, until success crowns the
proposition. 1t is from this time the
paramount object Of the lower valley
-one to which its best and most ear
neat aud united energies. must be
given. Thus and thus only, are great
purposes carried out.-Viekiburg

Ducks and Geese Coming.

Words come frem Gilmore, Ark,
that the people Of that section have
lost their uneAsiness over the fever
situation, and Il is on account of the
large numbers of wild swan, ducks
aud geese which have recently come
from the extreme north. The oldest
inhabitant ortbe low lands of Arksn-
Sas say that they have never seen Il .
fowls of this variety come in until all
the warm weather is at An eud for the
season. A gentleman in town today
from WapsnoccA lake is authority for
tho statement that there are more of
the feAthery tribe there now than he
has Heen there at this season Of the
year for long time, and many OF the
numerous species present are ofa class
that come only from the extreme
North, always ranging on the north
ern edge of the warm climate. The
fowls came in during the recent rains
and they have made the conditions
right for the fuest sport that has been
seen there for many season.

Cotton is too cheap to talk about
and cotton-sced is decidedly too cheap
to sell. At $500 per ton, the mill
price at present, cotton-seed is worth
decidedly more to the farmer as fer
tilizer. In fact cotton-seed has no
superior as fertilizer aay way, espe-
cially when you consider the price as
compared with cotton seed meal. We
understand at the present price 1t
takes about lhree or three and half
tons of seed 10 get Que OF cottonseed
meal. AT this pri, ,e our farmers
would be pursuing a. suicidal policy 10
sell their seed. We are not well
enough posted at present to say
whether the oil mill can afford to give
more than what they offer as We are
not posted on the price OF cotton-seed
product just now, but we do say, un-
hesitatiugly, that cOrLon-seed is worth
more than SIS per ton to the farmer 40
