A Pleasant Party

Last Friday afternoon, Mrs.
Waterman's home was the scene
OF a very pleasant social affair in
the shape Of an fashioned
quilting bee. The quilt was q
curiosity in itself, as it was more
than fifty years old. Flowers
cut from Old-faShiOncd oil calico
were arranged IN bouquets and
appliquCd on muslin. f. EIch group
of flowers was different and all
showed much artistic skill in
their arrangement. The needle
work must be seen to be- apprc-
Ciatcd.
Mrs Waterman has many
curlOS, among them brass dog
irons more than a century Old,
and q fOOtStOOl used by her great
grandmother. The ladies came
armed with their tmmblcs, ard
all were given opportunity to use
the two Instruments they are
supposed to be most familiar with,
viz: their needles and tongues.
Suitable refreshments were
served and ut the close of the
afternoon all declared they had
spent a delightful time and hoped
Mrs. Waterman would soon have
another quilting bee. Those pres
ent were Mcsdanps Carney,
Green, Sinclair, Finch, bullock,
Todd, Brumby, Wright, Bullock
and Haislcy.

The WOmbsley Trial

The trial is ended and the YER
dict rendered in the DR.. ForShec
murder case and Wombslcy
has been found guilty of the
deed.
The following is 4 resume OF
the tragedy, which occurred at
Gum Swamp, in the southwestern
portion of Marion county, Nov.
,, 1897.
We pass over the aroused in
dignat tion of the people because
Of the heinOuS CRIME and remark
in passing that it is doubtful if
the murderer would ever have
been arrested had 1T not been for
the deep interest and unti1ing ef-
fort Of Sheriff +. II Nugent, who
not only devoted much time to
following up clues and adding
link to link in the chain of evil
dence, but spent his own money
to interest other parties in the
case.
The preliminary hearing was
had before County Judge Bullock
Nov. u and %, iu which some
twenty-five witnesses were exam
incd +. \. Burford appeared
for the state and Messrs. w. S.
Bullock and Robert McNamcc
for the defense.
The Judge at the close Of the
examination held the prisoner,
without bail, to await the action
Of the grand jury, who found
true bill.
The only new evidence in the
WOmbsley trial was that Of Tom
kinsey, who said he met Wombs-
ley in the Cove prior to the ar
rest, and the prisoner told him
he had shot DR.. horshec, etc.
The mistake he made was in not
recovering tn" empty shell, which
was picked up at the scene Of Il Z
tragedy and exhibited IN the
trial, showing it was a 33-Calibrc
rifle shell.
The witness said he and
WombSley were great friends.
The evidence given by the prison.
ers Brinson and Counsel, WAS that
WombSley had voluntarily con
fessed to them the shooting Of
DR.. FOrShce and the manner Of
carrying his gun under his horse.
Capt. Prince was with DE-.
FOrShce when he was shot. 1t
occurred at noon. The parties
were on their way to Chattrrton.

To Ext.ru,o.s, johnson Gr....

johnson grass sorghum halpense) is
regarded IS great nuisance by many
farmers in the south, and an inveter-
ate enemy to tillage crops, for the rea.
son that when once well established it
is difficult to exterminate. The roots
are large and deshy, and become mat
ted under the surface of the ground,
until they form thick stratum of veg
etable matter. From every joint beneath
the surface sprigs shoot up, and though
they may be cut down dozen times
during the season others will come from
the same roots within few days. It 10
impossible, therefore, to destroy it by
cutting OF the tops.
The only way in which it may be
eradicated is to break up the land
where it has obtained footing in Sep
tember and turn in swine, some four
or i've good rooters to the acre.
There is nothing that swine enjoy
more than these deshy, succulent
roots. They will feed upon these
from morning until night and
grow fat upon them After remaining
upon the field and feeding upon the
roots all winter, except when the
ground is frozen too hard for them to
root, fresh supply Of the roots may
be made available for them in the same
field by rebreaking it in March or
April. Two years of this method will
destroy the last vcstige Of the johnson
grass and keep the hogs in good condi.
tion. The writer has tried this plan
more than once With perfect success

FALLING OF METEoRs.
Sometimes They Are Entirely Dissi.
pated In Heat and Gas While
In TPana1t.

One of the latest events in meteorites
was the explosion and fall of stones
which occurred at Madrid on February
10, 1896. This happened on fine morn
ing, and the explosion seemed to come
from a rapidly moving cloudlet in the
blue sky. The description is probably
correct, for it agrees with what is taken
as the accepted theory with regard te
these visitors from the heavens. What
ever be their origin, it would seem thai
these solid bodies are hurtling through
space at velocities which may be any.
thing between ten and forty miles sec.
ond. II they come near enough to this
earth to be attracted by it, their course
is changed and presently they enter our
atmosphere. The result is sudden
check to their speed, owing to the in.
tense resistance and friction engen.
dwed by contact with the air particles
What happens may be likened to the
sudden application Of the wooden brake
block to the rapidly moving wheel of an
express train. Heat is generated in ex.
change for motion and the trail oil
sparks from the checked wheel is rep
resented in the checked meteorite By
q luminous trail. We commonly call IL
. shooting star, and II its mass be small
it is possibly altogether dissipated in
heat and gas-or it may ultimately find
fits way to our earth as dust. Such
"meteoric Dust has been found on the
eternal snow of mountains, where dust
of the ordinary type would be impos-
sible. II, on the other hand. the mass OF
matter be large, its surface only will be
affected by the sudden heat generated
and il may fall to the ground entire OF
possibly-as in the case OF the Madrid
stone-may explode and be shattered
in fragments over wide ares,-Cbam'
