 Crosses of Honor were conferred upon Confederate Veterans Tuesday night by the Daughters of the Confederacy and the ceremonies of the presentation were both interesting and impressive. It was an occasion on which the love of the people Of the South for the brave men who fought and bled in the Civil War was ex- hibited by outbursts of enthusiasm.
 The court room. in which the exercises were held. was decorated with bunting and hung with Confederathe battle flags The room was crowded.
 Rev. Francis Tappey. pastor of the First Presbyterian Churchs opened the meeting with prayer and was followed by the chorus. Bonnie Blue Flag" Miss McAnally sang a solo and Miss Mary Weaver King recited Confederate Bill Misses Hattie Talsey. Beulah Neece and May Watkins contributed music and songs and Mrs. S. L.

The three papers on the life of Forrest were full of instruction; they were written by Mesdames Gamble. Bibb and Hundley. The first two are honorary members.

Geneva Chapter.

SOhONo SndPbCIs
 Away off in the Southeast corner oS Alabama in neck of the woods, is a beautiful village called Geneva. In that village is Chapter of the U. D. C.'s that, is boon to the whole place. It has something not found in all similar organizations and that is-life. Many were the predictions when the Chapter was organized a year ago last October that it would hold together but a few months. Such was not the case. however. It is pleasure to report that we are in full of a strong determination to do more than Fever for the success of this work So dear to Southern women.
 Our State President made us visit re- gently, accompanied by Miss Ida Mur- phree. By her enthusiasm and sage ad- vice she stimulated all to exert them selves more than ever. Several have joined since as a result of her visit. Be- ing especially interested in the work among the children she entreated all the mothers to have their children join the Cradle. As a result the Cradle now has twenty members, an increase of eight above previous membership.
 An entertainment was given by Geneva Chapter in August. 1903, for the Shiloh Monument fund; $11 were cleared and sent to Mrs. Dawson, but we have never been given credit for it. Mrs. Rena D. Milli- gan entertained the members of the Chap ter and large number of friends at a beautiful reception in honor of Mrs. Wood. No one possesses the subtle fac' ulty of genuine hospitality more fully than does Mrs, Milligan. She is ever ready to give and labor for the promotion of the U. D. c. work and to her largely belongs the credit for the glorious time given the old veterans on the 18th of Jan uary. On that day crosses were given to eighteen grey-haired soldiers and after wards lunch served to about thirty-five. The school was present in body giving the children their first idea of what our work consists. One poor but brave old fellow said he'd give $2.50 for a cross-to him that amount was wealth. He. with a number of others will be given crosses at an early date. The local camp reor- ganfzed after the exercises and promises to endeavor to accomplish some work by the help of the Daughters

Planting an Orchard.

We are glad to see q growing interest
in planting fruit trees of all kinds ali
over the South. We welcome this sen-
timent because it shows 4 disposition
10 look more to permanent farming.
A tree is longer lived than a cotton
stalk, and so when man begins to
plant trees he expects to stay and reap
the benefit thereof.
For peaches, pear, apples and such
like from sixteen to twenty feet each
way is a good distance. We do not
think it pays to crowd trees too much,
and when planted as we are now di-
recting they will grow larger, live long.
er and bear more and better fruit.
Pecan trees should be set from thirty
to fifty feet apart, generally forty feet
is about right.
The cheapest and by far the best
method Of making the holes for the
trees is to blow them with dynamite;
use a four-ounce cartridge with two
feet Of fuse.
With a crowbar make the hole where
YOU wish the tree to stand two feet
deep, place the cartridge in this and
fire it off. This will pulverize the clay
four feet deep and four feet across, and
is q cheaper and better hole than can
be prepared in any other way.
Place the tree in this and put In
little manure or fertilizer in the sol!
and press firmly around the roots OF
the tree. Trees set in this way will
live longer and do better.
There is no danger attending the use
of dynamite except in handling the
caps.-Dixie Farmer.
