Brides Exchange Lovers.

The little town of Malinta. west of
Toledo, O., has become famous in a
day ON account Of the rrheard-0 pro-
cecding between two brides eXchang-
ing lovers just before the wedding
ceremony.
Frances and Mary Dipcomb, daugh-
ters of a well-to-do farmer, were the
affianced wives of two Fulton county
young men, Davis Reil.lice and Frank
BeEiaon. They had decided To have a
double wedding OH Thursday evening
and relatives gathered from far and
near.
The young men, bearing theirlicenses,
reached the Dipcomb home shortly
after noon, when, to their nstOnish-
ment, Mary, the younger sister, was
nowhere to be found. Subsequently
her sister found her i'll her room,
weeping and disconsOlnte. Pressed for
an explanation, she confided to her sis
ter that she could not marry Rendice,
as she loved Benson better. The elder
sister, while amazed, remarked that
she thought just as much of one as she
did of the other. Mary shyly hinte,.
ut an exchange of lovers. The sisters
discussed the subject seriously, and
called the young men to conference.
As result, change was agreed
upon, and the young men fastened to
the county seat to get their licenses
changed. Meanwhile the guests were
wondering why the men had left tho
house. They were amazed when, after
the bridegrOoms' return, and the local
minister called upon the two couples
to stand up for the ceremony, they OBJ
served that a general shift had occur
red.
The parents of the brides demanded
an explanation before the ceremony
proceeded, after which thay expressed
themselves satisfied, and all ended
happily.-St. Louis Republic.

hrs. Bryan on the American Woman.

JACKSONVILLE, ILL; May 26.-Mrs.
w. j. Bryan, herself graduate of the
Academy for Young Women, in this
city, made the chief address to grad
uating class to-day. Mrs. Bryan spoke
on "The American Woman" She said,
among other things: "The public find
the American woman an interesting
subject. This interest follows from
the uniqre position in which American
women stand today. The American
woman should be sufficiently indepen-
dent to study her own surroundings,
choose her own course and live the life
which is best for herself and those
nearest her, without regard to the opin-
ions of the outer world. While we
hear q great deal these days about
equality, the real permanent advance
ment Of woman depends upon her in
-dividual development. When man
finds in woman thorough appreciation
Of his work and aims; when the mind
Of woman becomes the perfect supple
ment and complement Of the mind of
man, which the Creator intends it to
be, then viii all the discussions as to
the rights and privileges cease"

Young Man and Woman Drowned.

WRi"HTsviLLE, GA, May 2l.-At a
picnic ut Rowland's Landing Oh the
OlOOpee river yesterday two OF the
most popular young people in this sec
ton were drowned, II young man and II
young woman, and another young wa
man, being the third party iln the bout
that capsized, was rescued as she was
sinking for the last time. She is criti-
rally i'll from the shock.
The young people who were drowned
were Mr.. Pebley Hall and Miss Harvey

gagged to he married. Mr.. Hall wns 23
years OF age. ami most estimable
young gentleman. of high social and

woman and II member of one of the
best families in the county. Miss Liz
zre Rowland, was the third party in the
boat, AMI WAS rescued while she was

to life.
AT the picnic Il large party of young
people OF the county had gathered and

scattered along the river banks. anus

A Hardeeville Horror.

SAVANNAH, GA, May o0.-Alail ad-
vices from Hardeeville, S. c., say i:
About three miles from this village, OH
the Oestreieher farm. OH Tuesday
night, May a3 occurred terrible trag-
edy.
A twoa story frame building on the
farm was occupied by jacob Solomons,
hir wife and seven children; the eldest
aged 10 years, and the youngest nm in
FAINT of year.
On Wednesday some one passing saw
that the house was gone and on ap-
preaching to investigate found that
every vestige of it was burned, and the
bodies of the nine occupants, or rather
the charred trunks ofnine human bodies
were lying i'll the ashes.
The cOrOner's inquest, held OH the
25th instant, disclosed these facts {:
That the house was occupied by Solo
mons and his family, and was shattered
in the lower story by the last autumnal
storms, which also carried away the
chimneys; that Solomons had resorted
to the makeshift OF building two fires,
one to cook on and the other for
warmth, inside the lower stories of the
house on two circular mill saws, raised
from the board floor OH small pieces of
non. The smoke, sparks and flame
escaped from the fire as best they could.
Evidently after the family had retired
upstairs the blow that came UP ut IL
o'clock that night famed the flames,
which communicated to tho partition
Of the stairway, and set the house afire.
AgOnizing shrieks were heard by a
neighb0r mile distant, and must have
come from the unfortunate creatures
when they were precipitated into the
holocaust thatwa yawning below them.
Jacob, the father; Amy, the wife and
mother Rollins. Hattie, Charlie, Nor
ma, Isaac, Willie and Mamie, were all
burned.
The verdict of the coroner's jury was
in each case that they came to their
deaths through the culpable negligence
of Jacob Soiomons IN neglecting to
build n chimney for his family's use.
The scene at the place of the catastro-
phe was ghastly and sickening in the
extreme.

Penitentiary Scandals.

COLUMBIA, May 23.-Ihc penitentia-
ry investigation has somewhat passed
out of the mind of the general public.
The special investigating committee,
which met here some time ago and un-
enrthed the scandals, will meet here
again OH the 18th of June. The intcn
ton OF the committee, mt the time of
its adjournment, was to meet herc on
the 18th, and, after session of Il ,lay
or two, go to the State farms and re-
sume the investigation there. The
idea OF the committee was to visit the
farms in person, and see with their own
eyes actually what Ind been done, on
the ground that two much had already
been taken ON faith.
The board of directors of the pcni
tentiary will meet here on the 1ath, so
that the members of the board might
be here at the same time rs the investi-
gating committee.
1t is learned that nothing will be
done iii the matter of recovering any
of the shortage from Col. Neal, or his
bondsmen. nor will any other action be
taken until the investigation has been
completed, ana the Legislative com
mittcc makes its report to the Govern
or, rs contemplated by the resolution
creating the committee. A special
committee of the board of directors of
the Penitentiary went 10 see the AftOr-
ney General, and it was suggested to
a ho II l.
on the complete report Of the special
committee before any proceedings were
brought, and it was further stated that
it was entirely proper and quite the
thing for the board of directors of the
Penitentiary, who were immediately
and directly responsible for the man
agement of the Penitentiary, to bring
the suits.
The board of directors Of the Pen;-
tentiary has turned over to the Attor-
ney General the j. Is. Watson contract,
Oh which to sue for the amount due
by him to the State. The position of
tho board is that it did not know Col.
Neal i'll the transaction as to the con-
victs supplied for the Anderson farm,
and that the contract signed by j. Is.
Watson must stand for what it shows
on its face, and that any arrangement
between Col. Neal and Mr.. Watson
was entirely without the consent or
knowledge of the board of directors.
The suit for the money due on this
contract will no doubt be pushed Mt
once.
A petition has been numerously
signed asking that the investigating
committee take up the investigation
later in the summer than the 18th Of
June. The petition was gotten up by
counsel for Col. Neal, and it is stated
in the petition that a number of his
witnesses are farmers, and TINT it
would be very inconvenient for them
to attcn;: iii investigation at the time
set for the meeting. and further asking
that the committee hold it's meeting in
the up-cOnntry, as most Of the witnesses
were from that section, and it would be
more convenient for them.-N News and
Courier.

Paris green may be mixed with Bor-

Paris green may be mixed with ROr-
deaux Mixture ut the rate Of 4 TO 6
ounces to 45 gallons. The former
amount will answer if the grubs are
small, the latter it they are larger.
For applying Paris green apart from
Bordeaux Mixture it may be used ut
the same rates in water. But even
here at least an equal amount of lime
should be used to prevent any caustic
effect OF the arsenic upon the foliage
of the potato vines. So that it is Just
as well to apply the. Paris green in
bordeaux.
White arsenic costs only about one
third as much as Paris green, and the
Ohio Experiment Station has found it
excellent as substitute for Paris
green for liquid applications.
To make two pounds of commercial
white arsenic and four pounds of car
Donate of soda are boiled in one gallon
of water until dissolved. Another gal
lon of water is now added. This ma
terial is now arsenite of soda. 1t may
be placed in a jug, labeled poison and
kept for use us needed. 1t is used at
the rate of one and half pints to II or
fifty gallons of Bordeaux Mixture.
London purple is sometimes used in
place of Paris green, but it is more
soluable, and varies somewhat in this
respect, and there is more danger of
injuring foliage with it. In some cases
it has been used at the rate of six
ounces to 40 gallons uf water without
injury to potatoes while killing the
bugs.
The coating of the leaves with lime,
OF Bordeaux Mixture. has been thought
by some practical men to be objection
able from interfering with the func-
tions of the breathing pores (stomata)
of foliage. No appreciablo injury of
this kind, however, results from the
use OF these materials.
Two or three applications of the
arsenicals ut intervals of seven or eight
days will kill out the bugs Com
monty two will be sufficient. Should
the beetles appear again repeat.
Should rain follow any application
Immediately it will be necessary to re-
new it at once.

Rev. Thomas Dawson.

interesting story concerning Baptist
preacher personally known to many of

an agent or commissioner of the Cher

that Dawson's commission as lieuten-

wrote, accepting the offer, but the next
mail that came after accepting brought
him second offer, which was for @1O,-

Enough for Local Use.

Fruit is a scarce article in Ben
ton county this season and very
few prunes will De shipped from
here. In most localities there will
be enough for local use, however.
Apples are failure in most places
but there are small crops on some
of the, orchards. Mr.. Ell. T. Bris-
tow, on his 5o0-acre fruit ranch
near Dusty, has a fair crop of ap-
pies on his seven-year-old Jona-
than, Ben Davis and Newtown Pip
pin trees. His apple orchard is
near the top of very high hill on
the red clay soil and numbered
some 5000 trees. His young pear
orchard of 1000 trees, principally
Bartletts, is as fine as / have ever
seen anywhere and seems to be per-
fectly healthy. It is on rather
moist clay ground on the slope of
the foothills but has very little
fruit on it this season. Mr.. Bris-
tow has over $4,000 prune trees,
seven or eight years old that are
unusually large and thrifty but
have very little fruit on them this
season.
He is thinking of seeding his or
ehard with red clover instead of
cultivating it next season. This
treatment is known to be very sue
cessful with apple and pear or
chards after they begin bearing
heavily but I have not seen it tried
much with prunes. II would seem
as though it ought-to be all right
for them.

During the summer months / arise at

s'Whoever rides bicycle should bear
in mind that while he is developing leg
