TOBACCO
GROWING.
A Successful Grower Gives His
Experience on Cultivating
The Weed.
STRIPPING AN I'M.
PORTANT FEATURE
BY Louis Ashby, OF Glendeane, Ky.

The first thing necessary in successful
tobacco growing is to get your plants
ready for planting in good time. To ac-
complish this the beds must be burned al
early as possible in the fall or winter.
The beds should be burned where the
sun will shine on them as much as posi-
BILE. Manure or fertilize the plants well
before canvassing, which should be done
as soon as all danger from snow is over.
1t must be remembered that different
lands require different treatment. have
sometimes plowed land six times and had
a good crop; then again have plowed
only once and had quite as much success.
The man who waits until April or May
to SOW his seed will be going through the
country begging plants and will have to
be content with what his neighbor does
not want. Get your tobacco planted in
May if possible and quit setting by the
20lh OF June. II you have nothing else
to plant your land IN, SOW it in salt be.
fore putting in your tobacco after the
Goth of June.
Some people will cut tobacco just as it
begins to turn, which is not a good plan.
Let it stand as long as possible. l have
been tobacco grower for twenty-eight
years and my crop has never failed me
but one year.
If people could SOW tobacco seed in
some old field where it would require no
work to cultivate it and where there
would be no worms, the woods would be
full OF tobacco in one year. Some peo-
pie will give one kind or advice to to-
bacco growers and some another, but the
main thing Is to watch the man who is
successful in the business and adopt his
plan.
always prime high if the season will
admit and top to ten leaves the first time,
then drop to nine, eight and six leaves
and then pull up the rest so that worms
will not get on the under leaves of the
tobacco. | then go to the good plants
and pull up all kinds of weeds, such as
night shade, ground cherry and "Jimson,"
that worms live on. Putting a big hill
around tob,cco is a thing of the past;
would not board man TO hill up my
tobacco.
The most important part Of all is the
stripping. Tobacco should not be strip
ped until the STALK cures. Too early
= T. i
than one would think. l want some
good men to try my plans for tobacco
growing and see whether or not they are
successful.
Wishing the News all possible good
luck and success, l will close.

BRAND-sBuRe, KY, Feb. 26.-(Specisl)
Feb. %, 1900, will 20 down in the an
nails Of Brandenburg history as notable
one socially.
In the afternoon Misses Mary and
Bess Lewis, were hostesses for the read
ing circle with Washington program.
The parlor was bright and cheerful with
large and small flags entwined here and
there. Mrs. D. w. Lewis played
"America" which the club periodically
rendered. The papers, Rotations and
music were interesting and entertaining
Mr.. A. O. Burton read mastery paper
on Colonial Days" in which he (of
couxe) dwelt particularly upon the wom-
an Of that period. He was as usual
witty, little sarcastic, but deep and
historical Cream and cake we're served
and each member was presented with a
souvenir flag. Mr.. A. @. Lewis, of
Louisville, was visitor of the family
and enjoyed the meeting as did Mr.. and
Mrs. Lewis.
Thursday night Mics Maydee Pusey
rendered reception in honor of her
club, Sunbeam" The hospitable home
was brightly lighted and most artistical-
ly decorated in red, white and blue bunt-
ing, large flags and colonial pictures
The parlor especially was a thing OF
beauty. The National colors were fes-
tooned and drsped as friezs around the
four walls, with white stars studding the
frieze. A Colonial march was played, to
which the lady members of the club
with the gentleman guests filed into the
parlor where six tables were arranged
for the game, Anagrams. Such words as
Washington" president" Liberty"
"Commander" were given on slips Of

words was given the prize, pretty red,
white and blue pin. Booklets with red,
white and blue backs, tied with the
game colors OF ribbon were used for ana

Miss Sue Carter and Mrs. Grinnell were
the judges. Miss Ethel King won the
Hn. Ices and variety OF cakes were
served at the same tables, after which
the parlor was cleared for music, colver-
sation and games.
Miss Msydee is enthusiastic and whole
souled IN every undertaking. Nothing
is spared when she entertains her
friends. The Lewis and the Pussy
homes since my girlhood, have been the
center of social influences OF the kindest
and most genial kind. DR.. and Mrs.
Pussy and Mr.. and Mrs. j. W. Lewis
have never withdrawn from pleasant
social duties for others.

A NEW DATE.
The Greensboro Fair VIII Be Held
In August This Year With
Change Of Program.

At meeting of the directors of the
Davies County Fair Company, held at
Greensboro recently some new plans for
the annual exhibition of 1900 were dis.
cussed and will probably be adopted.
The trotting and pacing races will be
abolished and better running races pro-
vided. The morning exhibitions in the
show ring will give place either to cir
Gus or wild west performance. Smaller
inducements will be offered to profess
sional exhibitors, and local stock raisers
and owners will be encouraged to COM
pete for premiums.
1t will be the aim OF the directors, says
the Inquirer, to secure much larger
display OF fruits, vegetables and farm
products than ever before, and in order
to make it worth while to exhibitors the
premiums will be very greatly increased.
In order to further assist this part OF the
plan the date Of the iair will be changed
from the first Tuesday in October to
some time in August. A date will be
selected that will not conflict with the
Rockport fair, and it is probable that the
first or second week in August will be
fixed upon.
THIS is a very opportune time, as it is
between harvest and tobacco cutting,
and the most leisure season OF the farm
ers when it is possible to hold the fair.

MANY MILES
ON A TRAIN.
The Western Hills, Prairies and
Cities of Much Interest
To Travellers.
FROM BRECKEN-
RIDGE TO IOWA.

On the first day OF February we babe
adleu to our beloved friends in Brecken-
ridge county and started on trip to the
northwest. Our route took us over the
L., H. & st. L., the Big -Four, the c.,
and the @, & r. l. railroads by way Of
Louisville, Indianapolis and Chicago.
The scenery was OF diverse nature.
There we're the high hills Of which some
were very rugged, while others derived
their delightful appearance not 30 much
from their beauty and steepness Of as
cent, but from their value on account of
the abundance OF deciduous trees. Then
there were the vast prairies which lay
spread before US as far as the eye could
see and at last the beautiful homes and
fertile soil which could easily produce
from 65 to 80 bushels OF grain per acre.
One of the chief delights Of Chicago is to
view the clear blue waters Of Lake Mich
igan. Another matter OF interest to us
in Chicago was the vast amount Of bust
ness done there every day, and the beau
tiiul mansions in which the people live
in luxury
When we reached the old capital Of
Iowa, Iowa City, we were lucky enough
to get job at once, which we held for
short time and then started to the present
capital city, Des Moines:
Upon leaving Iowa City we were told
that we might expect a norther very
soon, as the air was quite warm and sui
try. This was a true prophecy for We
had been started west not more than ten
minutes, going at the rate of sixty miles
an hour, when we met blizzard of snow
30 thick that we could scarcely see and
the wind was terrific.
We stayed in Des Moines only a short
time and then pulled out for De Soto,
where we now are for an indefinite
period. In the trip from Breckenridge
county to our present stopping place we
have passed over more than nine hum
dred miles OF railroad. Yours truly,
MARCUS AND CHARLEY WEATHERFoRD.

COSTLY GARMENT.
An Overcoat Lined With Russian
Sable and Trimmed With Seal
skin and Bear Fur.
WORN BY A DRUMMER

Mr.Max Cert, the genial and affsble
salesman for Drexler, Heft & Co., gro
ceries, was here Tuesday and to say that
he had with him a wonderful overcoat
does not express il without futher details.
The garment was imported from Russia
by Mr.. Cert, and he gives it as his honest
opinion that it can be worn for several
generations. TIE coat is reversible, one
side being the finest cloth ever taken
from loom, while the other-the side
worn in, is made of Russian Sable. The
Sable is little animal Of Russia, and is
not larger than our mouse.
1858 of these little animals we're re-
quired to make thiscoat lining, each hide
being properly tanned and the joining to-
gether being so perfect one can not detect
it without close observation. A little hole
scarcely to be found, in each fur, showing
that;the,Sable was shot. The whole thing
is then trimmed in regular seal skin,
while the sleeves are lined with Polar
bear fur, all making one Of the warmest,
lightest most understandable garments you
could imagine. This wonderful garment
including duty and.all, cost $500, enough
money to buy respectable hill farm or
start a bob-tail country newspaper
