Settled by the Lawyer.

Descendants Of Pocahontas.

In the February issue Of the Twin
Territories there is . very interesting
article relating to the DESCENDANTS Of
Poeshontas. AS ought 90 be general
~ known, this young daughter Of Pow
haitian, after saving Capt. Smith from
the fairy other father, was baptized
and married John Roife, an English.
man. By him she was taken to Eng
land, where as the account statea, "the
wild flower, transplantsd from her ma
tive heath to the moisture laden at
mospheve Of England, wiited end died
on March II, 1917. at Grayesend, E,ug-
land, in the nineteenth year Of her age
"a mere girl, almost child, ct her
death"
This child-yife bore one son, Thorn
as, who was brought back and grew to
manhood in Virginia. he had a
daughter who married o Boiling, OF a
prominent English family, and agrand-
daughter Of this Boiling married a
Randolph. and one Of their O n was
re famous "John Randolph, of Roa-
= IKE" and other members Of that
noted Virginia family. Through an
other member Of this same family de-
seconded Thomas Jefferson and Gen.
Robert e. Lee. They were not Of the
Pooahontas stock, but were related by
marriage and descent to the daughter
Of old king Powhattan.
And so we find that this wild flow
er" Of the Virginia forest became the
progonitcr either by direct descent or
by intermarr;sges, Of some Of the most
famous people Of o state famous for

aud disputes as to whether Pocahon-
tas really saved the lie Of Capt. Smith

The cost of growing an acre of oranges

years $2s; total sf2s. The gross returns
from an acre OF thrifty trees vary from
$3.50 to 5000, according to varying
conditions OF market and crop. The

well as an abundance of fine fruit
In growing the plants it will be nee
essary to cover the hotbeds with glass
Cloth coverings will not answer this
purpose The seed is sown about eight
weeks before the plants are to be set
in the open ground. After the plants
have made several leaves they are
transplanted two inches apart into hot
beds. In two or three weeks part Of
these plants are transplanted again.
They are carefully taken up one at a
time and reset somewhat deeper than
they were before and about four inches
apart. Each time they are transplant
ed they are well watered and shaded.
When the weather becomes warm, it
is best to put canvas over the plants
instead of sash. The warm days the
last OF April may make the plants
grow too rapidly. The aim Is to pro
duce stocky plants with a large root
growth.
About the first week In May there is
usually a call in this locality for early
tomato plants. Arrangements are made
with one or two grocers In the nearest
towns to handle the plants on commits

the roots possible. The plant bed is
thinned out by removing the largest

halves, thus forming two shallow
boxes.

second grade plants are much smaller,
