A novel duel was fought on the
banks Of the Shenandoah river, near
Berry's Ferry, in Clarke county,
between Ollie Catlett and William
Burch, rivals for the affections Of a
young lady. She favored Catlett,
and it was said that Burch, stung by
the success of his rival, sent him a
challenge to fight a duel with bare
fists to settle the matter. The chal-
lenge was accepted, seconds were se-
lected and in the presence of a large
crowd the men stripped to the waist
and began to fight with bare fists.
For over half an hour the battle
waged. The men fought desperately
and their bodies were covered with
cuts and dripping blood. They were
so weak from the loss of blood that
they could scarcely stand, yet they
continued to rain savage blows upon
each other until a terrific right hand
blow knocked Burch senseless. Both
men were taken home in carriages
seriously injured after Catlett had
been declared the winner.

India Rubber.

Few articles seem more strangely
named than India rubber. 1t gets the
rubber" from the first use to which
it was put-that of erasing pencil
marks by rubbing. Nor should it be
associated with India. The tree was
first mentioned by an explorer among
the Mexican Indians three centuries
ago, and the first account Of the sub
stance occurs in connection with Co.
lumbus visit to Hata on his second
voyage. Most Of our present impor-
tation comes from Brazil. But Column
bus and those explorers who followed
him for short passage to India, and
they supposed that the land they die
covered was India. The name India
rubber is therefore permanent sign Of
their mistake.

Plenty to talk About.

High up on the side of Cumberland
mountain a traveller found cabin in
such lonely place that he wondered
how the old mountaineer and his wife
entertained each other.
The traveller asked, do you and
your wife zee many people here ?"
Scarcely ever see anybody, sub, "
was his reply.
Then you have TO depend entirely
upon yourselves for society? ?"
"That's it. sub"
"And what do you find to talk
about ?" the visitor continued, having
noticed that neither was inclined to
conversation.
Heaps, I reckon, she said. when
breakfast is ready in the morning l
says to Job to sot down, to con coffee
and hoe.cake.
Eyes"
"And when it's candle-light 1 sort
o jerks my head, and Job hitches up
to sorghum and hoe.cake, and wants
to know why we don't have bacon.
Amt that talk enough, stranger ?"
But there are the evenings" said
the traveller.
Eyes, tha's the evenings, Of cO'se,
and l says I reckon it will be fine
day tomorrow, and Job he reckons the
same thing, and we wind up the clock
and go to bed. Oh, I don't reckon
we are suffering to death for want OF
somebody to CAB to"

Color Of An Eye Changed.

That the color Of person s eye can
exchanged by the use Of tattoo needles
hassbeen shown by an operation per-
formed at the Massachusetts Eye and
Ear Infrmary, Boston, Mass, by Dr.
Henry. H. Haskell, specialist, and DR..
Heferman, the house surgeon.
The patient was young man who
had been suffering scme time with an
affection which partly destroyed the
color of his eve, but affected his sight
in that eye only slightly, says the Jew
eler's Circular. The eye contained a
white streak, extending almost entire
ly around the pupil.
The instrument used consisted OF
five ordinary cambria needles, placed
side by side, with the eyes ends insert
ed in handle. The needle points
were then inserted into the sclerotic
coating to depth of not more than
l.64 of an inch, each insertion making
five tiny holes. This was repeated sew
eral times, requiring the greatest care
To pierce the corne, would mean an
irreparabIe injury to the sight.
A solution of India ink, previously
shaded to match the eyes as nearly as
possible, was rubbed in with afnger
and worked into each Of the holeI
made by the needle points. The pa
tient felt no i'll effects.

Destroy The Weeds.


mer has to contend with. They grow
and thrive when the crops will not.
Weeds have, however, in degree
their uses, and by making the farmer
cultivate to destroy them, keep the
soil in good condition.
If there were no weeds to contend
with it is doubtful if some farmers
would consider it necessary to go into
the fields and cultivate the growing
crops. A farm that is overrun with
weeds is sorry sight and shows the
result of careless, indifferent farming.
Fence rows are great places for the
growth and distribution Of weeds.
When it was necessary to have old
time worm fences there was excuse for
unsightly fence rows, but in these
days of cheap wire fences no such con-
ditions should exist. On many farms
the majority of the fences have been
done away with, thereby lessening
the source of noxious weeds on the
fields and at the same time give more
space to the regular farm crops.
There are many weeds that the far
mers should consider dangerous.
Among these are Canada thistle, SOW
thistle, plantain, the white daisy, wild
mustard, couch grass, bindweed (wild
morning glories), dodder, etc.
Where the grass or pastuae fields
become infested with these weeds the
only method to completely eradicate
them will be to plow and plants crops
that require frequent and thorough
cultivation. The farmer should guard
his field with jealous care and destroy
on sight any new weeds and wonder
where they come from, but should
not wonder long before destroying
them. The weed trouble is a perplex-
ing one on the farm because there are
so many kinds. Some are ANNALS
that depend each season on maturing
seeds for future growth; others are
known as perennial, which have won
derful vitality and the seeds will
live in the ground for years, waiting
for favorable conditions to terminate;
some seed spread and increase from
the broken and cut roots that are the
result of the cultivation done to get
rid Of them. 1t can, therefore, be
understood what weed-contaminated
soil means to the ambitious farmer.
The complete destruction of weeds
hen means repeated cultivation to
destroy the weeds that start from
seed; the gathering of roots that the
cultivation turns up of the weeds that
make new-growth plants from root
fragments. Late in the season some
quick-growing crop, such as buckwheat
or cowpeas, can be Gown on fields
where the weed pests have been bat
tied with. On fields that have grow
ing crops this plan cannot be as sue
cessfully followed. In corn fields
however, cowpeIs or crimson clover
can be sowed at the last working.

FOR THE INSTITUTE.
MORE COMMUNICATIONS RE-
CElVED.

Those Farmers Heard From Ear
nestly Desire That The Meeting Be
Held.
Since our last issue the following COM
munications have been received In refer
ence to the proposed farmers institute;
FROM AsrccEssFuL FARMER or STAFFORD.
Near fredericksburg, Va, Jan. II, 1904
To The Free Lance.
We are glad to see the postals coming
in TO express the sympathy Il farmers
with the institute movement. But there
should be more replies. While the OK
pense and trouble OF arranging an in-
stitute are shouldered by Others 1t is the
duty OF every farmer to appreciate the
effort that Is being made 10 liit him or
his fellow man.
No one can attend good farmers In
stitute without being able TO carry home
some suggestion that will help make
farm life and farming more profitable
and more enjoyable, and tits TO be hoped
that the institute speakers will divest
their language of ali technicalities and
scientific terms, so that their suggestions,
made In plain, very simple English, may
have full weight and meaning among
that element OF our farming class where
education is stacking. and where the bless
ing Of a good agricultural paper Is not
known. This is the class that should be
reached.
IL should be remembered that while
the majority OF institute speakers do not
make their living on farm, they have
spent their lives studying the successes OF
practical farmers and never iail to give
valuable suggestions. Every farmer
who can get to the meeting should he an
eager listener. lie should try To take
home and practice a few OF the sugges-
lions that are made We must learn TO
diversity our crops, To use the soil i'm
proving crops, TO grow large crops and
keep more livestock, TO appreciate the
priceless value OF manure on the land
aud last, but not least, We must learn TO
cooperate iu buying and selling
When some OF these lessons are learned
we will fad that we can compete with
the North; that we can pay better farm
wages and keep our help from goisg else
where, and then there will not be so
many who are willing to blame the ad
ministration in power. the poor soil, or
things In general, that farm life is mere
drudgery and farming does not pay.
These changes may be initiated by farm.
ers' institutes. Let us welcome them and
attend them and prohtby them, one and
