AUTOMATIC Hawk KILLING.
The Unique ContrIvanee Of n North
ern BouIsiana Farmer That Has
Been VERY Effective.

Folks in the Smithsonian institution
and other authorities say that two or
three kinds Of American hawks are
harmful TO farmers, and that these are
not so very harmful; the other kinds
put In their time destroying field mice,
rabbits, gophers and kindred fauna
which work III to crops. Robert
Wyehe, who raises cotton and such
things in northern Louisiana, pays no
attention TO the scientists, however,
says the New York Sun.
There are ID varieties Of hawks in
that country, and he believes that they
all catch chickens. he is ready to
make oath that he has killed more than
one Of each variety either IN the act Of
swOOping into his barnyard OF Perched
upon a tree with a chicken In its tai
Ons. He declares that even the small
sparrow hawk, most beautiful and
diminutive Of kites, viii tackle chicks
not more than two weeks out of the
shell.
Wyehe has used blue-whistler buck
shot upon the great gray hawks, al
most as large as eagles, and duckshOt
/ upon the other varieties, until he has
grown tired Of it. It takes half day
/ Of q farmers time to circumvent and
/ slay a gray hawk which has carried
/ OF a pullet.
Blue whistlers are used On them be
cause they are wary and must be
/ picked of at IS yards. An old negro
| told Wynche Of a hawk-HIlng scheme
which he has put into effect, and nOW
| he rests easily.
Hawks perch only on dead trees, OF
bare limbs at a good height. They
/ make themselves conspicuous in do
/ ing so, but are better able to look over
the surrounding country and watch
] for prey
/ Wyche made a strong pole so feet
long by mailing scantIings together
/ Then he took an old scythe, ground
and whetted its edge to razor keen
/ ness and tied It transversely TO one
\ end Of the pole with the sharp edge
down. Then he set the pole up firm
! " 200 yards from the barnyard anC
waited.
Within an hour black hawk lit OF
the scythe. grasped It with its taloni
IN order to steady itself on the narrow
upper edge. and cut its feet badly
/ It glanced down and struck at tn
| scythe viciousIy with its beak-
It was cut again, and made crazill
I angry by the scent Of its own blood
which always happens; a broken
winged hawk VIII attack anything, bis
or little, that comes within its reach
It drove It's beak once more agains
the scythe and fell TO the ground will
its head cut open.
Wyche has killed a lot OF hawks witt
/ the scythe. Sometimes when their fee
are cut they fly away, but this does no
happen often Almost always they at
tack the steel with their beaks, Of
| swOop against II and are slain.

with situation that they themselves

On December f4. last the proprie- tors of Paine's Celery Compound found the following letter among their mail:
 They had no correspondence on the subject; they did not know Mr. Mus ham. except by reputation. Like every testimonial of this great medicine that was ever printed, it came to them un- solicited and unsought. The prcprie- tors of Paine's Celery Compound have never found it necessary to manufac- ture or edit any testimonial. They have never found 1t necessary by any trick of advertising to promote mythical men in far of places to positions in legislatures or offices that never heard of them. It is the one of all remedies the popularity of which has increased on account of what 1t does, instead of what 1t says.
 It appears that Fire Chief Musham. the head of the Chicago Fire Depart ment, which is the model of the world, has been for forty years in the service; as brave as lion, industrious. cool headed, with a record for fighting fires, and quite as distinguished for nerve and generalship as other heroes upon whom nations have bestowed nublic honofs for service in no less hazardous undertakings.

That Is no wild upon practical results all over the State. And this class of farming does not mean the raising of corn and cotton alone put everything that can be raised upon the farm for home consumption and to spare are to be included.

There may or may not be a shakeup on she Plant Systssn, but ali indications point to the fact that a rattilng of dry bones will be heard ih the neighborhoods of Montgomery. Savannah and other points on that road.
 For . number of years past there has been warm legal contest over the will of the late H. B. Plant. Henry F. Erwin. srs on one side, and Mrs. H. B. Plant on the other. Some weeks ago the Associated Press telegram announced the fact that Mrs. Plant was victorious In the long fight Mir. Erwin has resigned as one of comes from savannah that he will not bs President of the Plant Nysten after the lst of March. Colonel Bradford Durham of this city was General Superintendent the man for whom the road was named-- MT. H. B. Plant. Mir. Plant and Colonel Durham were very warm personal friends. and very close friendship has and Mrs. Plant. Mrs. Plant is now in control of the property and there Is . story that Colonel Dunham went to New fors. recently on bu1iness connected with this very matter. Az stated above this but 1t will not be It all in the ilM- ture of . surprise if within the next few months Colonel B. Dunham is again one of the highest oficials of the Plant sys- tenn.
 Speaking of the will case and how 1t was settled out of court" The New York Herald says:
 By the resignation yesterday of two of tho trustees of the estate of Henry Bradley Plant, 1t became known that the long contest over the property of he millionaire is being settled out of court. It was announced yesterday that all the details of the settlement had been practically determined. Mrs. Plant, who contested the will, which created q re- markable trust, will receive one third of the estate, or more than @ 0oo. 900. Her son and other heirs will be provided for, ana the settlement of the great estate will be made without any more contro- versy. The State of New York will re. ceive an inheritance tax of $1o0. 600. which otherwise 1t would not have obtained, as the will was to have been probated In Connecticut, Certain charities which MT. Plant intended to aid will be cared for by the widow and son.
 Tn bringing about this settlement, the exhaustive opinion of Judge Leventritt, of the Supreme Court, was the main factor. ;.
 Henry Bradley Plant died on June $, 1899, at the age of 30 years His inter- eets in steamship lines and railroads were extensive. He was the founder of the Plant System of transportation. It was estimated at the time of his death that his estate was worth S12.00o, GO. Mir.

Drivers Fined by Recorder Arlington for Violation of Ordinance Youthful Robbers-other
 Police Court Cases.

. Dennis Taylor and Cater Adams, two negro drivers, were lined t2 and cost each by Recorder Arlington In police court yesterday afternoon for violating a city ordinance prohibiting the hauling of gar bage through the streets of Montgomery without tailboards or sideboards on wag- ons
 The evidence showed. that the negroes were driving at a rapid gait, and that the garbage was being scattered on the streets. Patroiman. Pee plcs saw them and followed in delivery wagon. They were arrested but made bond for their appearance at court. They pleaded ig- norance of the law, but Recorder Airing ton said this ordinance would be strictly enforced, and that such violations would be punished whenever q case was made against them.

 The punder they carried was about forty pounds of lead pipe which they had taken from the basement of c. T.

The pipe had been cut from a basin or sink. and was valued at about $15. This value was greatly de- creased when the pipe was cut. which made the case one of petty instead of grand larceny.
