MIDI ummer.Night's Entertainment.

The first of the "mid-summer nights
entertainments by the "Buttinskies'

evening was especially enjoyable. Just
at the hour for leave taking a shower
came up which delayed the departure,
much to the satisfaction of the young
beaux and we dare say the bellies like
wise.

Farming at Ware Shoals.

WARE SHOALS, June 5th.-
The farmers in this section are pro-
crossing nicely with their work. If
this dry weather continues very long
old General Greene will have to give up
the fight. Recently it seemed that
Providence intended that the farmers
should have a good price for their pro-
duce and plenty of hay too.
Mr.. w. S. Knight was in your city
Thursday, the first.
Wheat is very sorry in this section as
are oats also. One mar here said he
would make four dozens per acre, which
was an average crop with him.
Cotton has begun to grow since the
rains ceased.

Fatal ARRAY.

Greenville, Special.-As a result OF
an attack made upon Special Officer Ell
Pittman by Newmen Burns and George
Rigdon Sunday night at midnight,
Burns is dead and the officer is painful
ly wounded. The killing occurred in
the American Spinning Company's
village, on the Buncombe road, oppo-
site the Reuben Smith residence.
Several men standing nearby rushed
to the officers aid and dragged Rig
don off. Burns fell unconscious and
died in 80 minutes. Drs. Wright and
Earle were called and gave the officers
wounds attention. The wounds, while
painful are not dangerous. His upper
lip was laid open and several gashes
were cut across the back Of the head!:'
Officer Pittnlan is regular deputized
officer, and in attempting to arrest
Burns and Aigdon the two men made
a murderous assault upon him, Rig
don selling and holding the officer,
while Burns sIashed him with knife
about the heal and face. The officer,
by supcrhuman effort, freed his right
arm and selling his pistol, fired three
Shots at Burns, two Of which took ef-
feet, one in the center Of the throat,
the other on the side of the neck,
severing the jltglar vein. Rigdon was
lodged in Jail and Officer &ttman, after
his wounds were dressed, came to the
city and surrendered to the sheriff.
The men cursed the officer and the at
tack was unwarranted. SO the witnesses
state. Rigdon is known to be a bad
character

Dry Feed for Chicks.

One of the best possible rations 1or
q chick, whether reared under ben OF
in brooder, is what we call dry ration.
1t is the nearest approach to the nat
ural diet of a fowl possible to attain.
This method calls for all dry 1000,
such as rolled wheat and oats, snlall
broken corn, rice or grain OF any
kind, small seeds and beef scraps
mixed; to this should be added small
grit of some kind. The beef scrap
should be of good quality, that mas
been properly prepared and ialcely
ground. This kind of food can De
greatly improved by the addition OF
some well-broken peas and beans, anu
a little properly prepared clover. Inc
peas, beans and clover furnish tne
vegetable and green food, the rest
the grain seed and the animal portion
of their Diet giving them a most per-
fectly balanced ration. Should it be
preferred to add to this a mixed tood,
it, should be, thoroughly scalded. II
cooked or baked, so much the better
for this takes away the unnaturainess
of the food. But little trouble from
feeding is experienced when TINS
method is followed.-N. G. Temple, IN

tGooseberries and currants.

The Downing gooseberry pays me
we'll for market, being hardy and pro-
elific. Takingaone season with another,
AN. acre of gooseberries sells for about
$500. Among currants, the Fay is
superior variety-large, prolific and
good keeper.-John w. Page.
Currants are easily grown, not re-
quiring especially good cultivation,
and doing well even in the shade OF
orchard trees, but good care and
plenty of fertilizer will pay. My fav'
orite variety is the Red Crosse. r.
Laurence.
Gooseberries are profitable crop
with me, selling at about s1.5O per
bushel, wholesale. Currants also pay
we'll, bringing an average of $3.50 per
bushel. Both fruits are subject to at
tacks of the currant worm, which
strips the foliage, but we fight them
successfully by using a tablespoonful
of paris green to quart of slaked
lime sifted or the plants while the
dew is on and repeating the opera
ton each week during the early part
of the season. l grow the Houghton
gooseberry and the Red, Dutch, Vic
toria and Fay currants. The cherry
currant- with me is not productive
enough.-J. B. Johnston, in American

When Sheets Wear Out.

Sheets often get badly worn in
the centre before they show any signs
of wear at the sides. Careful house
keepers often turn" such sheets
when. they are made of double width
goods, simply tear them down the
centre, hem the edges with narrow
handkerchief hem and sew the outer
selvages together. A carefully
turned" sheet lasts more than twice
as long as sheet that is left to wear
itself out as it was first made. 1t
seems like folly, however, to turn
towels and other similar articles, as
over particular housewives so often
suggest. Except for the woman VINO
has little else to do it is waste OF
time.

Fortunes in Waiting.

In spite of the enormous inroads
made on this earth's great
store of wealth, diamonds, gold, oil,
gas, coal, iron and other materials,
recent Investigations have brought to
light the interesting fact that treas
ure fields containing fabulous wealth
still remain intact.
Investigations have proved, for in
stance, that huge areas OF the Hoor
of the Pacific are strewn thick with
immense deposits of nodules of pure
manganese. Invent practicable and
economical method of recovering it,
and the individual who does SO will at
once become rich beyond the dreams
of avarice.
The most crying need of today is a
substitute for para rubber. 1t is GER
tain to be discovered sooner or later.
Malleable glass was manufactured
and used by the Romans nearly two
thousand years ago. But the secret
has been lost. 1t seems odd that no
one in this age of mechanical progress
has been able to rediscover the meth.
od of manufacturing a tough and un-
breakable glass. Whoever succeeds in
doing so and making the discovery
economically useful will reap a great
reward.
Real photography in colors is still
an open field and offers boundless op-
portunities for the inventor. In small
er matters, too, the list OF wants I'M
supplied is endless. jewelers., for in

method of fixing pearls on jewelry,
