The Home Orchard

Prof. H. L. Price. horticulturist at
the Virginia Experiment Station,
Blacksburg, Va, writes as follows
concerning the selection OF fruit trees
and the treatment of the same:
The rapid increase of parasitic
diseases has discouraged many from
establishing fruit plantations with
view OF supplying family needs. This
should not be 80; for our conditions
are ad nirably adapted to CONNER clal
fruit growing; we can with reasonable
attention grow high class fruits for our
own use.
The variety question is the most i'm
portant and difficult with which the
intending planter is confronted. be
often makes the mistake Of allowing
the tree agent to decide this problem
for him, with the result that too many
costly and worthless novelties are
planted. Only well tried standard
sorts should be selected.
This week has not been ideal Christ =
mas winter. Last Thursday snow FELL D.,
and since then the weather has been
very sloppy.

The first snow of the season fell
here Friday TO the depth Of eight inch
es. Quite a number OF tho people
were out sleigh riding on Sunday.
At New Hope Baptist church pre-
parations are being made for a Xmas
tree for the benefit OF the Sunday
school at that place. The matter has
been discussed and plans adopted
which will be carried out during the
week. Already the young ladies are
showing some earnestness In the work
by covering the floor and pulpit plat
form with a new and beautiful carpet.
l am without authority to say what
the program will be. | learn, how
ever, that speeches by the children
will be part and singing before and
after the distribution Of the presents.
1t has been previously announced
that on next Sunday, the Gath, there
will be three additional deacons elected
at Collierston Presbyterian church
to make up the adequate number OF
FIVE, which vacancies were caused by
death and removal.
This will be my last letter for 1905.
Ny best wishes for the upbullding and
advancement Of the dear old Ca
zRTTE, the genial editor and the boys
who pick the type. A merry Xmas
and happy New Year for all.

George w. Belt, a former resi-

a member of the firm of Belt Bros.
grocery dealers in the building
where the Chinese laundry is now
located, committed suicide at the
home of his nephew and niece, R.

evening, May 10th, about z o'clock.

PUBLIC LIBRARY OPENED.

The opening of the public library
on Saturday afternoon and evening
was most encouraging in many re-
spects. Nearly 100 visitors were
welcomed and 80 registrations en-
tered.
AS soon as the building was
lighted the reading tables were sur
rounded and remained so during
most of the evening.
Sunday the building was opened
as reading room and fully rs peo-
pie enjoyed the privilege.
If it be true that the work of a
public library is measured largely
by it's usefulness to the children of
the community, there was nothing
discouraging about the beginning.

shaving. He carried a cot up from
the cellar and placed it in his bed
room, wrapping heavy blanket
around his neck so that the blood
would not flow upon the carpet in
the room. He then sat down on the
end of the cot, and, blowing out his
brains, fell back stretched at full
length.
The nephew and niece spent the
afternoon at Estacada and returned
home about an hour after the sui
eide. They found a note on the
dining table from their uncle stat
ing that he was lonesome, aud as he
could not find employment he
thought it better to enter another
world. In his note be thanked his
nephew and niece for that which
they had done for him. He left
just enough money to meet his
burial expenses ana the Iuneral Oc-
Cured from the residence two days
later. The casket was buried with
floral tributes. The remains were
inferred in cemetery at Portland.
Mr.. Belt came here from Wiscon-
sin about year ago and then went
to Portland where his brother, Wal
ter G. Belt, and his nephew reside.
He was of proud nature and did
not like to live at the expense of
his relatives, despite the fact that
all of them were willing to care for
him. His wife died some time ago
in Wisconsin.

Treaty Of Peace Awaiting Imperial
Sanction

The treaty of peace between Russia and
Japan will become effective upon it's approx
al. without waiting the formal exchange
nation is impaired at the Japanese lega-
ton here. That course has been decided
upon that the speediest possible termina-
ton Of the war may be had The treaty, II
is understood, has passed through the nee
essary preliminary stages OF approval IL
each country and Is now before the respec-
tive emperors of Japan and Russia for rati-
fcation. As soon as it has been signed
that fact will be communicated by cable
to the State Department here and the
Washington government will apprise each
emperor of the act OF the other. With that
accomplished the war will be at an end.
The formal exchange of Publications will
be carried out In Washington as soon there
formal exchange will be accomplished by
the drawing and signing of a protocol or
memorandum of exchange by special pleni-
potentiarfes commissioned for that purpose
Besides signing the protocol, the copy OF
the treaty which the Emperor of Russia
has signed will be delivered to the Japanese
plenipotentiary for transmission to Japan,
and the copy signed by the Emperor of
Japan likewise will be delivered for transfer
to st. Petersburg. That function, accord
Ing to present intentions, will be devoid of
all formality. AS yet the special plenipe-
tentiaries have not been commissioned and
no arrangements have been made for the
exchange.
Precedent is found for the Geographic ex-
change OF ratification in the manner in
which the last treaty between the United
States and China was made operative.

would draw me to Frame, and 1t would be
joy to me IL 1 could go with you. But in

1t is like enough that for a month or more
you may find US there, ere we are ready for

1t was hard indeed for Alleyne to break
away from these two new but hearty
friends, and SO strong was the combat be-
tween his conscience and his inclinations
that he dared not look round. lest his reso-
luton should slip away from him. 1t was
not until he was deep among the tree
trunks that he cast a glance backward.
when he found that he could still see them
through the branches on the road above
him. The archer was standing with folded
arms, his bow jutting from over his Shout
der. and the sun cleaning brightly upon
his head-piece and the links OF his chain
mail Beside him stood his giant recruit.
still clad In the home-spun and ill-ftting
garments Of the fuller OF Lymington, with
arms and legs shooting out OF his scanty
garb. Even as Alleyne watched them. they
turned upon their heels and plodded on
together upon their way.
