American Apples.

The American apple is taking an important place among our agricultural exports. During ! the three months in which apples are exported-the quarter ending with the close of December, 1901 over a half million barrels were sent to Europe. For the same period of 1902, the apple exports aggregated 1,757, ,457 barrels, which averaged two. dol lars per barrel to the exporters. This increase in one year is sig nificant of the growing popularity of the American product.
 This fruit is raised both in En- gland and on the continent, but their apples do not compare with ours in quality. The taste for mellow, juice, fragrant American apples is one which grows by what it feeds upon, and we may expect steadily increasing de- mand from abroad. An apple orchard is a profitable investment for any farmer and where the soil and climate are shown to be peculiarly adapted to the fruit, there is undoubtedly more money in devoting the land largely to apples than to the miscellaneous crops of the average arm.-To- ledO Blade.

County Seat War in Madison.

The burning of the Madison county court house has brought on the livliest sort of county seat war. In the first place ob- jection was raised by many cit izens to replacing the building on the old site within the narrow limits of the public square, from which foundation have been burned three court houses, all because of it's proximity to other buildings. The county court, however, decided that the old foundation was the proper place upon which new building should be erected, and large number of the citizens have demured, and are endeavoring to move the capitol of the county to other points, nearer the center of pop ulation, and where better fire protection can be secured. An enterprising real estate man has laid off townsite near the cen ter of the county and has prof. fered to give the county every other lot, if it will move the coun- ty seat thereto, which insures that new court house can be erected without expense to the tax payers. The proposition is taking like wild fire in many parts of the county, so prominent commercial man who has just canvassed that territory, informs THE TRIBUNE and it appears prob- able that Huntsville may lose the county seat.

each way, but never put any crop in the rows the way you cultivate, for the whole secret of cultivating is not to allow the ground to bake until September at least.
 As soon as trees begin to grow and young shoots are 6 to 8 8inches long, go over them and cut off all but one, leaving the largest and most thrifty. With good cultiva- tion the one left will grow from 4 to 6 feet high by fall and will have limbs on all sides from bot tom to top 2 to 3 feet long. The next spring cut out all limbs within two and a half feet of the ground, thin out the rest to four and five feet above the ground, leaving the limbs one foot apart. Clip out the center about 5 feet above the ground and clip side shoots leaving them about two feet at the bottom and one foot at top,

Tragedy at Jasper.

Jasper has been the scene of quite tragedy, which is report ed as follows in the Republican
 Our quiet town was thrown in : to considerable excitement last Sunday night about seven o'clock when six or seven shots were heard on our streets in rapid suc- cession. It was soon learned that very serious shooting af- fray had taken place. It is said that Wes Hudson fired off his pistol on the street, and that City Marshal Wm. Allen and Deputy United States Marshal J.D. Keys, who were standing on the corner near by, went out to where Hud- son was and Allen asked him to give up his gun. Hudson made some kind of reply and raised his pistol and fired at Allen. But Allen was on the lookout, and fired first, the ball striking Hud- son directly over the heart. The bullet entered his breast short distance and came out on the left side, making an ugly wound. | Allen dodged down and escaped being hit. When Allen dodged down, Hudson thought he fell, and he turned his attention to Keys, who was also shooting at him. He fired at Keys, striking him just above and little in front of the left hip bone, the ball lodging in his back just under the skin.3 It is said that seven shots were fired in all. After the shooting was over Hudson walked to his home in the upper part of town and told his father that he had killed Keys and Allen, and he thought he was killed, too. Keys walked to his home and physicians summoned and the ball extracted from his back. Hud- son used 45- -calibre gun, and Allen and Keys used 8-calibres. Several holes were found in Hudson's clothing, but only the one bullet touched his body. One shot went through his vest near the lower pocket on the left side, and one passed over his right shoulder, cutting hole through his top shirt, vest, coat and overcoat. Hudson's wound is not considered very dangerous.
 MT. Keys died on Wednesday morning at 3 o'clock from the ef- feet of his wound. He leaves 8 wife and two grown children, a son and daughter, who have the unbounded sympathy of the en- tire community.
 Again we are sadly reminded of the baneful and destructive influence of whisky. Public morals and society demand that we go to work with renewed en- ergy and suppress the growing and degrading evil, which is the most successful agent the devil has in his employ in sending souls to torment.
