FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

In planting tho orchard care should
be taken TO allow each tree plenty Of
room.
A layer Of charcoal in the bottom Of
flower bed is very beneficial in keep
ing the soil fresh.
In plowing in the orchard always
turn the furrow toward the tree, and
be careful not TO injure the fine, fibrous
roots.
The life OF an apple tree Is often
shortened because It grows in a poor,
exhausted soil or one not properly
drained.
WE-.. III or alling handle the flowers
little or wear gloves. Delicate plants
are sensitive to human magnetism,
good or bad.
The roots of the strawberry often
reach out FIVE feet from the main
stem; hence the plants should not be
set too thicbly.
An apple or cherry tree Is much
more valuable II it shoots out low.
Trim from the top, as this will cause
the lower branches to grow out.
Land that has been too rough for
plowing may yet be sufficiently fertile
u grow fruit trees and is better than
land that has been exhausted by crop
ping.

No Damage 70 Dam.

Moore & lizard reported this morn
ing that the heavy rainfall since Satur-
day night had in no way damaged the
dam, which they have now so far ad-
vanced.
The ditch that was prepared to hold
the 24-inch pipe that is to be laid
through 1t, conveyed the water through
the dam and no damage whatever has
accrued to the work so far done.
1t is really good thing that none of
this rain was installed, for really il
was gleanings of all the filth on the
immense watershed, and now all the
water falling in the future will be nice
and clean.

SCORE ANOTHER FOR ARDMoRs,
A Big Planning Mil to be Erected Here
at once.

dl OOGts
This morning the Ardmoreite was
told by T. y. Harris, the mechanic and
builder, that he was going TO put in
frst-class. upto-date sash, door and
blind factory and general planning mill
in Ardmore. Mr. Harris said he would
take half the stock in the enterprise
and that four lumber yards would take
the other half. Work. he said. would
commence at once on the plant, and
the location will be at the cid Byrne
lumber yard on Caddo street, where
the railroads can unload lumber right
at the door.
Mr.. Harris says that nothing but
the latest improved machinery will be
installed and that when completed
they will be able TO make anything,
either for the exterior OF interior Of
the house.
The power TO run this min wiiltbe
obtained from the new electric light
plant. that will be in operation in
few months.
White pine lumber will be shipped
TO this mill in car load lots for manu-
featuring purposes, and our mechanics
can be able TO get anything there that
they want.
Mr.. Harris is a first-class mechanic
himself and will see TO it that every
body gets just what he wants when he
goes there for a piece of work.
This plant VIII employ perhaps thir.
ty or forty people. and that means
some $1,000 or $4,000 turned loose here
every month in wages alone.
Thees are things that make town
grow. II Ardmore had a few more Of
them, perhaps she would not have to
send so far off for a great many things
we have to have

RESULT OF HEAVY RAIN.
Much Damage Reported on Main Street
stores Are Flooded.

Ardmore has been visited since Sat
urday night with one Of the greatest
rainfalls within the history of the
country. The government report gave
us 2ds rain up to Sunday morning,
while Monday morning showed S.S5
inches more, making 6.03 inches Of
rainfall since Saturday night.
The heavy rain came down last
night in torrents and it played havoc
on Main street
At the intersection Of Main and
Washington streets the water on the
north side in flowing across the street
has almost washed a gully across the
street.
Near the Wilmington hotel the wa
ter had accumulated so fast that the
entire street was covered with water.
On the north side the water ran
into w. b. Frames drug store, but
did not do much damage.
Y. b. Lynn, east Of him, says the
water just simply ran .ntD the front
door and out at the back door of his
place. He says he is damaged at least
$50.
j. ~ MoOre's dry goods store, next
below, also suffered. They say 500
would not pay for the damage done.
Moneysmith & Kelly, shoemakers,
say they are damaged about s25.
Z. B. Pugh, the grain man, has per-
haps suffered more than any Of his
neighbors. He had $500 or 5000 worth
of seed grain on the floor, also cigars,
tobacco and onions, and the water
stood for awhile about six inches deep
on the floor. He must be damaged
several hundred dollars.
Gus Aaronson's store east of Pugh's s
suffered more or less from the water
running in the building.

A SUGGESTION.

ITO the Ardmcreite.
I'd As the city win shortly vote on wa
vster and school bonds ] would like to
ensuggest some more bonds that, while
''they would not be actually incurring
uHany Indebtedness by their issue would
e 1mmensely benefit the city, and So
Lswithout pretending to be accurate, but
ssonly general. figure it out thusly:
lrp The city pays for rents $500 per an
mum on the monthly installment plan,
If interest was counted on II
monthly, would increase the amount.
onl AT the end of the year they have moth
% ling but receipts for about $500 or
/, is1 900. The city can borrow money at
o., five per cent. which would obtain a
loan of $4,000. Now what would we
ne,do with It? Wei, l would suggest
urthat the money for buying a lot for
10 the U. S. Jail be subscribed hrst, say
,pe 81, 600: add that to the $4,000, max
3. ling $4,000 Then get property hold
'ers who are interested in that part Of
|lOWu 10 huDbtIlut SAtVNN AhblNi hAehAht >
a total of $4,000. Then buy the Wis
o NOR hotel property at say $4,000. Do
.. mate the rear end of the lot for the U.
cIs. Jail, using TIE front for a city hall,
lin which could be located the post
-ofice and fire company on the first
floor and the second story for mayors,
Sspolice Judge, city tax collector and
Caschool board Offices. This would be
concentration cf much beneet to the
public, and the erection of handsome
building in place of the present eye
sore. The money collected from the
people for It would be still left in the
utown and the Iublic would own good
O property instead of receipted bills.
.fgure, OF course, only general, 50 far
'w as statistics go. No doubt the city
assessor could furnish more accurate
OIfgures. DAVID REDFIELD.

the Government side, in yesterdays sea
fight in Panama bay, in which the Gov

near Newark, who had a butcher stall
in King street above Eighth, this city,
was tossed from his wagon by a trae-
tious colt yesterday afternoon and al
most instantly killed.
The colt he was driving seemed par
ticularly active at times, but it had
evinced no disposition to run away un-
til Stanton was reached. There 1t
plunged forward and broke into a
run.
The animal continued its mad hignt
until a bridge above Stanton was
reached. when Mr.. Hendrickson wa
hurled from his seat and struck the
side of the bridge with great force.
Death must have been instantaneous
for the butchers skull was fracuLed
his neck was broken. and his face dis
torted by the force of his fall. the
body was taken in charge by Under
taker Guthrie, of Hockessin. after Cc.o-
ner Frick was notified at his home IN
/ Newark.
Mr.. Hendrickson was 43 years Of age
and leaves a wife and three children
He was well-known throughout 5A'
county.
