ON every farm where wood is: used
for fuel and the ashes are- not needed
for some other special purpose they
ought to be used ON fruit trees. Any
one who by accident or otherwise has
applied ashes to fruit tree has, az
course, seen that it had a marked effect
ON the growth of it. Potash is required
by fruit trees to a. larger extent than
the other elements Of growth and as
ashes contain a large per cent Of potash
it Is just what trees need. But it re-
quires no reasoning to know that what
comes out of onep tree is good for an
other.

as expressed by the voters in the cleo
tions last fall. The Republican party
has always led In forward movements,
and 1t has been demonstrated many
times that all reform movements are
best conducted by organization, and
that in a popular government the PEG
pie must be interested and informed
about any measure to insure Its sue

of the party in the State are stealing

DESTROYED BY Fire

Ellie Jones, who lives near Mt.
Zion church. had the great mistor-
tune to loose his house and nearly
all its contents by fire al nine o'clock
Tuesday night. When the fire was
discovered it had gained too much
Roadway to be extinguished, the
roof being nearly ready to fall in.
1t is supposed: the fire was caused
by defective chimney. The fami-
ly had not retired, which fact alone
saved them from being burned to
death. The smokehouse, near by
was burned, but part of his meat
was saved. Practically nothing was
saved from the house. Mrs. Jones
took her two youngest children and
went to the home of her father, Mr..
John Hale, to be sheltered from the
intense cold. A small amount of
wearing apparel and a few quilts,
ETC., represent the savings from the
Aaues. Union City Democrat.
Mrs. Jones is sister of Mrs. I.
D. Price of this place and was well
acquainted here. We are. sorry to
hear of the misfortune and extend
sympathies.
