Red river is very low, and the lit

McWhorter at Fulton, which draws
only three feet Of water when load
ed, and which is now engaged in the
trade Of hauling cotton seed from
points below Fulton, finds it neces-
sary to unload its cargo at times to
pull over a sand bar. Mr. j. Z.
Morriss of this city, who is buying
seed for the oil mill here, left yes

the river will get so low that the

together, and that the seed bought
at various points will have TO be
hauled out of the bottom by wagons.

the happy father of q beautiful daughter,
Virginia. On her way to school, she was
seen by Appius Claudius. who coveted
her. He therefore directed a client to
claim her as his slave. The maiden was
seized and brought before Appius, who
sat as judge to try the cause between
the father and the client. The foregone
decision was rendered that Vir yinia was

dered that Virginius should give her up.
The father, in despair, turned aside into

her tenderly he suddenly raisied the knife
and smote her dead on the spot. Wav-

tends to increase rather than dimin'
Ish the number Of plants.
Endowed IS one Of the worst weeds
of this class that we have. The best
way to eradicate d patch OF this is to
mulch it thoroly with straw or hay,
thus preventing the appearance OF
green leaves to gather nourishment
tor the roots, in which case the latter
must sooner or later die. Two full
seasons OF careful mulch should be
sufficient At least the strsgglers
could be dug out easily after such
treatment. Perennial weeds which
form crown and biennial weeds can
DO eradicated by cutting off below the
crown. The dsndelion cannot be
killed by this method because 1t pro.
duces buds upon the cut root. An
nuals can be eradIcated or at least
kept within control by careful Guilt
walton. Proper rototion Of crops will
subject all the fields of farm snc-
cesslvely to the cultlvator.
