ABOUT sTRAwBERRIEs.

Among 300 farmers, raisers of corn,
hogs and beef, assembled at an insti-
tute meeting only three raised their
own Strawberries, and this in a locality
where the strawberry was as easily
raised as the potato. Some had tried
and failed; others said it was too much
bother; others--the many-said they
would be glad to raise them if they
only knew how. AS the time will soon
be here when the bed must be planted,
we give simple directions for making
one which, if followed, will insure any
man all the nice berries his family can
possibly use. Take a strip of land
eight feet wide and ten rods long, pillow
1t eight inches deep, then disk and har-
row it till it is put in the finest tilth
If the soil Is thin and poor, put six or
eight loads of well rotted barnyard
manure on it before blowing. Get 400
plants from some reliable dealer-some
home man, if possible-of four or five
varieties, such as Lovett, Clyde, War
field, Beder Wood, Crescent, Parker
Earle, Brandywine or other varieties
which the home dealer can recommend.
Set out the plants in three rows three
feet apart and plants three feet apart
in the row, mixing the varieties when
planted; keep well cultivated and free
from weeds the first season; cover with
two inches of prairie slough grass, corn
stalks or clean straw after the bed is
solidly frozen up in the winter; rake
covering off after plants commence
growing in the spring and leave cover
for mulch between rows; then in June
your reward will come After fruiting
keep the weeds and grass out of the
bed as much as possible, fruit next
year and then pillow the bed up. The
way to be sure of plenty of berries Is
to plant bed every spring. We have
followed up this plan for 81 years and
have never failed. 1t is worth know
ing that if you can irrigate the bed dur
Ing the blooming and fruiting season
you can almost double the yield.

OLIVE HARPER
II Won't RON on.

The egg of the guillemot is one OF
the most peculiar and furnishes an
admirable example of the way in
which nature provides for the condi-
tons of life.
This bird is found on the coast, and
the eggs are usually laid on the bare
edges of high rocks, from which posi-
ton any ordinary specimen of the egg
would probably roll off.
But the guillemot's egg won't dc
this. 1t has been fashioned by nature
to stop on. The egg is nearly conical
In shape, broad at the base and sharp
at the point, so that it will only rol
in circle.

VALUE OF BLUE GRASS PASTURE
LAND.

A good blue grass pasture, if used to
make beef and milk will one year with
another pay G per cent interest on a
valuation of $T5 per acre, and the best
permanent blue grass pasture is quite
apt to be located on some bottom lands
near the streams and rivers subject to
a periodical overflow or be some low
lying tract too wet for cultivation in
crops. Such pastures are greatly help
ed by an occasional disking and har-
rowing and by the scattering Of little
medium clover and timothy on them in
the early spring.

If Mrs. Demuth, president of the
Alton Provident association, sue
ceeds in securing the passage of a
law declaring laziness disease and
providing a compulsory cure she
will have solved one of the problems
Of the ages. She may rightly be
termed woman of courage, for her
experience as practical worker in
philanthropic fields should make her
familiar with the immensely of the
task he has undertaken. Yet there
is some difficulty in determining the
course of reasoning that Mr.. Demuth
followed in deciding that laziness is
disease. The man who will not
work is, according to Genesis, striv-
ing to get around a divine injunction
which decreed that only by the
sweat of the brow should man eat.
But labor is an a acquired not a.
natural habit. Still the better a |
man is the harder will he work.
The worse he is the more prone he
is to live off the sweat of some one !
else's brow. ..-.
Mrs. Demuth proposes to c1'ue the ,
disease of laziness by compulsory
labor, preferably in the stone yard I
or over sawbuck. This course of
treatment is no rest cure and SO
will probably be considered unfa-
vorably by the afflicted fraternity. j
Yet, as the medicine prescribed by
Mr.: Demuth will pay for SO cents
worth of provisions q day for .
married : mans family, the. end
might justify the mean. And, as .
laziness is catching the drains 1

| BOX CAR MERCHANTS ENCOUN.
! TER TROUBLE IN THIS
STATE.
George Wemmering, one of the
'box car" merchants, that travel
through the country, taking orders
for groceries and merchandise from
the farmers, last week Thursday,
got into trouble with the food in
spection laws of the State of Mime
sofa, in Ramsey County, to the OK
tent of $4,000, on 10 counts.
Tuesday he was due at Worthing-
ton to answer the prosecution on
charges of selling unlabeled baking
powder and of adulterated spices in
Mobiles County, and it cost him a lit
lte over $50 to realize that the State
Food Laws are as effective and cor
tain in MOBILES County as in Ramsey
County, MINI.
The prosecution was conducted by
County Attorney Cranda1l, before
F. A. Steven, Justice Of the Peace in
Worthington, but Wemmering's at
torney, after examining in the mat
ter, concluded that he had better
advise his client to enter a plea of
guilty than to proceed further, and
the plea was accordingly entered,
fine paid and defendant discharged,
he promising to let up on that kind
of work business, and we think that
he will do so, because it was a very
expensive lesson.
The authorities are determined to
see that this class of non resident and
non tax paying merchants shall not
do business in this state, unless they
comply with all the requirements of
the law, that are demanded and ex-
acted from resident and legitimate
merchants. =
p. The business is done mostly with
farmers. these men selling. by sam
pie and taking orders through the
and after they have enough
orders, they then have the goods
shipped in, usually in car load lots,
making delivery, collecting at the
time of delivery and then moving
onto some other field and repeati ng
the same method.
r. This class of men are thoroughly
interruptions in their business
methods and ways, and anything
that is capable of adulteration is
adulterated as much az possible; for
instance, in one of the cases here in
Mobiles County this George W. Wem-
mering was charged with selling
adulterated ground pepper to A. z.
Curry, and upon a chemical analysis
the pepper was found to consist of
corn meal, with a very little cayenne
pepper mixed through it, it costing
these ''bOx car" merchants some
where about &c for a three pound
package, and they selling it for pure
pepper for Sill for the three pound
package. What is true in this case
is true in all other cases and with all
other articles that it is possible for
them to adulterate.
The State Dairy and Food Com
is deserving of the support
Of all citizens of this state in their
effort to put an end to this class of
business. 49,

SHOOTING AT GRUMPY.
Ebb Wtten and Tom Beavers Exchange
Shots and Both Are Badly Wounded.

On last Tuesday the intelligence reached
Tazewell that Mr.. E. H. Witten, Deputy
U. S. Marshal, and Tom Beavers, son oil
Judge Alex. Beavers, of Buchanan coun-
ty, had engaged in desperate shooting
encounter at Grundy, Va.
1t seems that the two men had been
unfriendly for some time, and the old
grudge started the difficulty that was fol-
lowed immediately by the shooting. After
hot words, we are informed, that both
men drew their pistols and began firing.
MIR. Witten was shot three times. One
shot struck him about an inch above the
left nipple and passed entirely through
the body. Another passed through the
left shoulder, and third struck him over
the stomach, beginning at or about the
navel and passed around to the right for
about four inches under the skin.
Mr.. Beavers received one shot in the
side, which side we are not informed, and
the wound is reported not to be serious.
The reports that have come to Tazewell
are to the effect that Mr. Witten was very
dangerously wounded, and it was thought
he could not recover. No word has come
today announcing his death and this
makes his friends here hope that he may
recover. The difficulty is regarded as an
unfortunate affair.

Death of George O. Thompson.

On last Friday, the 18th inst, at 2:S0 p.
N. Mr.. George Oscar Thompson, died at
his home in Thompson Valley, after a
lingering illness. He was one of the most
highly respected and popular citizens of
the county, and his death was heard Of
with regret by all vino knew MIN.
The deceased was sixty-one years old,
was born and raised where he died, the
land having been in his family for several
generations.
Shortly after the Civil War he was mar
RED to Miss Martha X. Hopkins. He is
survived by his wife, one son, Archie,
and three daughters, Mary, Elizabeth and
Georgia.
Mr.. Thompson was consistent member
of the Presbyterian Church, and was one
of the kindest men who ever lived in the
county. We have heard it remarked that
he will be greatly missed by the poor, to
whom he was liberal friend.
On Sunday morning at IL O'Clock funeral
services were held, conducted by Rev.
Mowbray and large crowd of friends and
relatives were present to pay the last
tribute of respect to the deceased. The
remains were buried in the old family
graveyard.
