Last but not least is our little DIR.
A. e. Turman, of Carroll Co., who
Is nice little fellow and as kind as
he can be to the prisoners and
guards. This composes our force
of guards and managers. We have
800 acres of land in corn from which
we expect to get 5000 barrels OF
corn. We made 1000 bushels OF
small grain, wheat, oats, and rye,
from which we realized good price,
as 1t was sold 20 Il. w. Wood &
Sons, Of Richmond for seed. We
have two acres IL sugar beets for ex.
periments. Tho average yield is
twenty two tons per acre and had
is per cent of sugar in them. We
have gathered 700 bushels OF peas
and have not finished gathering yet.
we made crop of tobacco-Ij0,- J.
coo hills. 1t is all cut, housed and
well cured. We had a nice line OF
vegetables all the summer. Several
car loads of fine hogs have bee Il
shipped from here at different times
this year weighing from 200 to 800
lbs The farm nov is in fine
condition with good roads on it and
well drained with tiling. Our War.
den, w, =. Tatum, is an excellent
man and keeps the grounds in the
prison yard nice and clean and makes
the prisoners walk around when he
is near. The guards are all anxious
to see Major Lynn get his place
again as he is the right man in the
right place. The guards are going
to do all they can to put him in
again. l do hope the DR.. will get
his position again as he is so kind
and nice and suits the place as well
as any man will or better as he
knows how. We are busy now
gathering corn and sowing wheat

A SUSPICIOUS CASE.
Causes n Loss to Trade of Mil.
lion Dollars Day.

Houston, Tex, Sept. 29.-Eva
Duncan. the negro woman who
has been under guard three days,
declared to be a suspicious case
by State Health Officer Sweaiin-
gen but by every local physician
to be suffering dengue and kidney
Inflammation, is getting better.
The cotton exchange and board of
trade held meeting today and
passed resolutions requesting Sur
geon General Wyman to send an
expert here at once to look at the
case and wired to him. Nobody
here believes the woman has vel
low fever, but every town in Tex
as has quarantlned against Hous-
ton, and the situation is very Sc
rlous, commercially, as the loss to
trade Is q million dollars a day
while this ostracism lasts. Two
thousand men are out OF employ
ment already on account of it and
the list grows daily. 1t is hoped
here that the government will
send DR. Guiteras or some other
man whose reputation will be
suillcientto allay the fears aroused
IN the interior OF the state.

ADVANTAGES OF BARE FEET.
Are the Children OF the Time
''DreSsed to Death"

Visitors to Scotland says the
Pail Mall Gazette, used to be hor.
rltied on seeing so many children
running about bareiooted. Bare
feet are less common now than
they were a generation ago, and
perhaps the change, while show
ing a growing prosperity in the
nation, is not altogether to be re
commended. Children's feet grow
so fast that TO keep them always
properly shod is a matter that re-
quires considera bic care and some
expenditure. 1t matters very lit.

been too short or the skirt of a

preston of feet in boots too tight,
or, even worse, too short, may be
a cause of torment in future wears.
Infinitely better are bare feet
than clumsy, heavy, illshapen
boots. In the winter the feet
may indeed want some protection
from cold and wet but during a
great part of the year children
may safely and healthfully 90
barefooted.
Some mothers, by no means of
the poorest classes, are convinced
that the comfort and symmetry
of the feet in maturer years are
largely to be gained by giving
them freedom during the time OF
growth. At very fashionable

And if shoes are undesirable,
how much more so are gloves.
Except the thick wooden ones for
winter warmth, gloves should be
banished from IA child's wardrobe.

New Orleans, Sept. 29.-Today

number of new cases of yellow
fever repo"'-' while the deaths
equalled IL number those of any
day since the yellow fever was
first discovered in the city. Va.
nous reasons are given for the

clpal ones are that the weather

the much wider field to cover,the
board OF health has had some dif-
flculty in getting cverv house az

OF THE WORLD.

Judge WellhouSe is called the
apple king of the world. His or
chards, in Kansas, says the Kan
sas City Times, consist of 1880
acres, containing 100000 apple
trees, and are located in the coun-
ties of Leavenworth, Mama, and
Usage. In thirteen years he has
picked over 100000 bushels of
apples, and whenever he has
little money to spare he buys
little more land and sets out some
more apple trees. Growing apple
trees is his passion, just as gamb-
ling is the passion of some men
and raising fast horses the passion
of others.
II take more delight in plant
ing trees and seeing them grow"
said he to Times correspondent,
than in anything else in the
world" Chief precedence, as the
to tavorite varieties, is given to
Ben Davis, of which he has $50
acres; Missouri Pippin, $50 acres;
Johnathan, 300 acres. and Gano,
100 acres. He being the apple
King, with an experience of thir-
ty eight years in Kansas, thirty
OF which have been spent in apple
culture, his methods, from his
own lips, ought to be of interest
