Shot from Ambush

Alfred Thurman. well-known Ne.
gro Of Leesburg, Ga, was shot and
killed from ambush near that town on
Thursday. The cause Of the tragedy is
believed to have been revenge. When

Holt, the three Negroes outraged Mrs.
Maropey in the presence of her hus-
baud in this county few months ago,
they we're run down by Thurman aud
it was through his efforts that they
were brought to justice and later lyuch-
ed. thurman at that time expressed
himself as b;tter'y opposed to the crime
committed by the Negroes aed openly
stated that he would use all his efforts
toward their capture, which be aid.
His life was threatened by friends Of
the dead Negroes. Tne lynched Ne
groes' friends had arranged to kill three
prominan5 white men OF the country
who had made threats against Blvlns,
Holt and Fort aud were about to carry
it out ghe1 Thurman heard OF it and be-
gan to hunt out the scheme to prevent
murder. He almost succeeded Ia CON-
pIetely trapping the nine consplrators
when they turned the tables and saot
him TO death in the road. The parties
are nearly all known aad number OF
arrests will be made within the next
few Gays.

The Reconciliation.

Phroso Mullins as she met Donald
Murkator at the gate in front of her
fathers magnificent residence on South
Halsted street. 81 fear I was hasty,
the other night, in telling you that [
had saw through your little game"
He pressed her hand and replied:
"Phroso, you done me grievous
wrong, but am willing to forgive you
if you have came to the proper conclu-
sion concerning me-"
"The moment you had went away, "
she humbly continued, 81 see that l
had not saw you in your true colors. I
heard you had went to the butchers
picnic with Lucille Groot last week,
while l was in Milwaukee, Lucille has
been trying to bring something between
you and | ever since we first begun
going together. When you and me
were at Blue Island, three weeks ago

she was jealous. | ought to have knew
when she wrote me that synonymous
letter about having went to the picnic
with you that it was false; but 1 love
you so, Donald, that l am Jealous and
ready to believe anything about you. -
"And how" he asked as they seated
themselves upon the steps, "did you
finally discover that you had did me
this wrong?"
81 happened to remember" she said,
looking fondly up into, his honest eyes,
''that the picnic was held on the day
your mother told me you ate them ten
mushmelons and had to be rolled on a
barrel all afternoon"
Then she laid her head lovingly
against his breast, and the broad rays
of the splendid summer moon fell on
them in the their happiness, seeming
almost to transform them into beings

A dangerous criminal was about to
be executed in Calcutta. While his
last toilet was going forward, an
Englishman who had just landed
begged five minutes conversation with
him, which was granted. All that was
heard of the interview was the final re-
mark of the criminal. He called
arter his visitor: ga thousand pounds
to my heirs, you understand. When
the hangman had prepared for his sad
duty, the culprit claimed the right to
say a farewell word. Lifting up his
voice he roared aloud to the assembled
mltitude: ''All you who listen hear

is the coffee of Messrs. Chicory, Che

The most economical way is to haul

The most economical way is to haul
the manure to the fields as made, but
this is sometimes impossible or unad-
visable. The next best way is to keep
it in shed and mix with land plaster,
to prevent fermentation and to absorb
the ammonia in which the nitrogen is
contained. Now and then farmer can
not do even this; then let him make a
basin in the yard, and in this scatter
the manure so as avoid fermentation.
The rainfall will keep the pile wet, and
the water from the teaching will all be
retained in the basin. In the spring let
it be forked over until thoroughly rot
ted, and then hauled to the wheat field
or meadow, while the ground is still
frozen, if possible.

The only permanent agriculture is
that which provides not merely for
maintaining, but for increasing, the
fertility of the soil. A system which
increases fertility naturally improves
the yield year after year, and puts the
soil in such mechanical condition that
it is less likely to be injured by drouth
OR excessive rainfall.
