Many a boy Is made happy these

gold letters. Perhaps the name lead
pencil' VIII last through all time and

made Of lead. and on the rough paper
OF the time made a clearly discernible
mark. Germany led in It's manufac-
ture. Our earliest importations were
much sought after, and none could be

THE TROUPE STATION
Many Varieties OF Fruits Are Being Test.
ed as TO Their AdaptsbiIity.

cd rs TO Their AdaptabiIity.
College Station, Tex, May 49,
President Harrington reports, after
his recent trip to Troupe, that the
sub-experiment station there is in
a most satisfactory condition. He
says that ii is well located; only
about one and a half miles from
town. II therefore serves the peo-
pie Of the immediate vicinity as a
daily object lesson in the advanced
methods Of horticulture. II has
been a practical success in the use
of scientific methods from its be-
ginning. The director has under
way many experiments Of great
value to the people Of the state
when full results shall have been
neutrality-suspicious. that even
now show the absolute necessity TO
the agricultural interests Of the
state for the multiplication Of sub
experiment stations operated under
intelligent management.
1t will undoubtedly be of interest
to the farmers of the state 10 know
in advance something about the
work that is being done. Brief
mention may, therefore, be made
of a few Of the most important fea-
lures. The station is testing nine
ty varieties Of peaches; only about
forty Of these are bearing this year
for the first time. When the large
acreage in Elbertas in this state is |
all demanding labor
and market at the same time, ii is
Of paramount Importance that
some new shipping variety, either
earlier or later that the Elbertas,
should be established.
There are 100 varieties Of grapes
hat have borne one year, and the
zines are well set in fruit this sea-
on. In the course Of succeeding
easons the station will be able to
determine the varieties for different
purposes best suited to Central
Cast Texas conditions. II is ex-
'ected that the first results with
rapes will be manifest this year.
Some ffty-five varieties oflplums

ut most Of the fruit rotted on &C.
cunt Of excessive summer rains. !
Sixty varieties of apples are un.
er test, but only five or six vari.
lies Of these will bear this year !
" the first time. Important and l
Ir-reaching results in the growth b
apples in Texas are expected I
ON these tests within the next

TELLS A FAMILY TRAGEDY
Man and Woman Arrested and locked
Up observation-disclosures Wife EiOpes
With Another Man and Carries Her
Two Sons.

Tom Williams, who lived in the
Edgecombe section, and d woman who
claimed to be his wife and who gave
the name Of Mrs. Ida Williams, were
arrested yesterday by Deputy Sheriff
Harvard and Sergeant Crabtree. They
were placed in the city lock up and
will be given a hearing before the
mayor this morning, the crime charg-
ed being one against society.
The woman, it developed, was the
wife Of one w. A. Daniels, of Laurel
Hill, this state, and the first intima-
ton that brought about the arrest of
the pair was an appeal from the de-
serted husband who gave a descrip-
ton of his wife and the man Williams,
with whom she eloped, and said that
they had with them two children,
Vernon and Willie Daniels, aged four
and six years. He asked that the
children be taken by the officers,
wherever found, and held until he
could get here and take them in
charge.-Durham Herald.
