The Augusta Chronicle refers to the
scarity OF poultry and eggs in the
South, the high price demanded for
them, and suggests that the fact
should stimulate farmers in increase
their stocks OF chickens, for there is
no Likelihood that the market will be
glutted. In commenting on the above
the Columbia Record says ANY one
who visited the state fair and saw
there the splendid poultry display
might well wonder that we have to
depend largely for our p2ultry and egg
supply upon ether states. Yet it Is
fact, because these money making
crops" are neglected, when there is
abundant evidence that the poultry
industry can be made most profitable
in this state. Those who are already
engaged in it make money, and there
is no reason why Others cannot do the
same" We endorse every word said
above. Poultry and eggs caDnot be
bought in this market except at fig
ures that put them clean out OF the
reach Of all except those with fat
pocket books. At twelve cents dczer
eggs would be profitable, to say moth
ing Of twenty FIVE cents, the price at
which they are now selling.

Pursued the Dauehther.

A dispatch under date OF Baltimor>, j,
October Is, printed In the Kansas
City Star, says: Mrs. William P.
Tonry, the oply daughter OF Mrs.
Mary E. Surratt, who was put to
death for being involved in the Lin
coin conspiracy, died there early
Thursday after several years illness,
resulting from her eff 'rts to save her
mother. She was 6S years Old"
Commenting upon this dispatch, a
writer in the Star says: June 81,
1869, William P. Tonry, employed in
Washington, i st bis position under
peculiar circumstances, and, It's said,
with the approval OF President Grant.
he had served In the United States
army during the civil war, and be had
been detailed as assistant chemist in
tie laboratory OF the surgeon general s
cfice, which position he had filed
with entire satisfaction. The trouble
was said to be that he had just mar
ried. he had married, at that, a
woman whom any loyal citizen Of the
United States ought not to marry, ac-
ccrding to the views OF the supposed
ly loyal citizen Of the United States,
at that particular time. His b1i!e
was Anna E. Surratt. The gicl's
mother had been hanged short tine
before for completely In the assass:na-
tion OF President Lincoln. %
At Chickanaugua in 1898, accord
ing to the Star writer, when the Fifth
Maryland Volunteers were encanped
there, they we're under command OF
General Frederick Grant. In that reg
iment were Reginald I. Topry, ser
geant in Company Z, commanded by
Captain Thompson, and Albert S.
Tonry, corporal in Company L, com.
manded by Captain Boyden. They
were the sons Of the man who had lest
his position because be had married
Mrs. Surrat55's daughter, and they
were grandsons Of Mrs. Sur1att. Many
remember Mrs. SaTratt's trial and
conviction after John Wilkes Booth
had killed the president. They remem-
iber her hanging too, but few 1emem-
:'ber that her son-in-law, a loyal union
soldiers, was discharged because he
married her daughter. And very, very
few know that Mrs. Surratt's TWO
g1andSons we're serving under the
Stars and Stripes in the volunteer
army. Mrs. Toney had just lett school
whsn her mother was hanged. Sac
was probably about 18 years old and
was an only daughter"
