THE AUTO UNDER SHED.
For the Last Two Weeks all Efforts
to Make it 90 failed.-.A New
One will be Ordered.

The fond anticipations of those inter-
ested in the Motor Car line from Column
bia to Campbellsville, have been, up-to-
date, nipped, and the fears of the doubt
ers have been realized, but after all the
project has not been abandoned, merely

hopes and ambitions of those interest
ed in lettering the service between the

at present it may be regarded by some
as failure, yet it has only proven the
machine defective and another one will
be placed on the road.
Mr.. Taylor, the Chauffeur. says the
machine is imperfect in some Of it's
parts and would not attempt to recon-
struct it here without the consent of his
company. The main trouble seems to
be in an imperfect circulation Of water,
causing the cylinder to heat, expand and

he thinks, by having those parts ad-

After a Long and Successful Ca
reer W. Il. Walker Sleeps With
His Dead.

Sixty-nine years ago the subject of
this article, then poor lad, Is years
of age, with his mother and one broth
er, Howard, landed in Columbia, from
Wayne county and took up their abode.
Young Walker was Industrious, anxious
for an avocation that he might make a
comfortable support for his mother,
and he decided to become blacksmith,
entering the shop of Mr.. Wesley Moss.
After completing the trade he opened a
place of business for himself and fol
many years was the principal workman
in the town of Columbia. He was eco
nolnical and by untiring industry he ac-
cumulated sufficient sum of money to
embark in another business, and few
wears before the war of the Rebellion
broke out he became a merchant in
this place, and successfully conducted
the business until a few years before
his {.sath. He was succeeded in bus.
iness by his son, w. L. Walker, who
has been very successful since stepping
into the shoes Of his lamented
fnfher.

MARRIED.

We desire to extend our cangratula-
tions to Mr.. and Mrs. r. Y. Simpson,
who were happily married at Nell, this
county, last Thursday. The bride is a
daughter of Mr.. S. R. Walker, and is
one of Adair county's best young wom-
en-, popular with every body in the low
er end of the county. The groom is a
prosperous young farmer and resides at
Breeding. Heis a brother of Mrs. w.
R. Grissom, this place, and stands high
in the community where he was born
and reared. The ceremony was pro-
nounced in very impressive manner
by Rev. w. H. C. Sandidge, of the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
The couple received many handsome
presents. Their future home will be

he left, amounting probably to sixty
thousand dollars. He was a man of
strict integrity rather pay debt than
make one--and was honored and re-
spected by the entire county of Adair,
and will be greatly missed by relatives
and friends.
Mr.. Walker was twice married, his
first wife being Miss Mary A. Smith,
the mother of all his children; his
second wife was Miss Fannie Reynolds,
who survives him. The widow and the
children have the sympathy of this en-
tire community.
The deceased was devout member
of the Christian church, being reg
ular attendent at all the services, in
GLIDING Sunday School, as long as his
health would permit. His devotion to
the church endeared him to the mem
bers, and the organization deeply feel
the great loss it has sustained.
The funeral services were held at the
Christian Church Wednesday afternoon,
his death occurring Tuesday at noon,
many friends being present in testimo-
ny of the high esteem in. which the
dead was held. The discourse was
preached by Rev. A. L. Oder, the pas
tor, who touchingly told of the life and
character of the deceased. Ed. w. K.
Azbill and Rev. ]. p. Scruggs also paid
tribute to the dead.

tied IN the family burying lot. It is

tering st. Peters Gate to be crowned
as faithful believer in his Lord and
Master.
In his remarks at the funeral of Mr..
Walker, Mr.. Azbill said there were
certain things which the deceased had
done in the course of his life that show
ed him to be man of great force OF
character. He began his business ca
reer in youth with the odds of obscurity
and penury against him; yet he COM
PEELED success in spite of his difficult en-
vironment. The honesty, industry,
perseverance and thrift he exhibited
are the qualities which have won fame
for such men as Lincoln, Grant and
Garfield and made them examples wor-
thy of imitation as well as of admira-
ton. When prospecting in his first
chosen profession, he suddenly aban-
doned it and took up another in which
he attained to even greater business
prosperity. The change was made out
of no disposition to vacillate. Having
decided to become merchant, he con-
tinued to be merchant till his retire
ment from active business life. With
the same decision, he wound up his bus
mess affairs and became completely
disentangled from all business cares, so
that the last days of his life were given
to reading, meditation, fishing, AMIGA
bic intercourse with his family and
friends and attendance upon charitable
and religious duties.

Baptist Church. For 80 years he lived
in acceptable standing and full fellow
ship in this church. At time when
the church was at peace and prosper
Gus, with no occasion of alienation Sc
far as he was concerned, he surprised
the whole religious community one
Lords day, by presenting himself at
the Christian church as an applicant
for membership. He had become con-
WINGED that the plea of the disciples fol-
the unity and union of all Christians
upon the simple creed that Jesus is the
Christ, the Son of God and Savior OF
men, is the only feasible basis for such
union; and following his conviction at
whatever cost, without the concur
renee so far as is known, of one mem
Der of his family, and making no effort
to prosylite others in the church OF
which he was member, he took this
radical step. 1t was not essential to
the point the speaker was making
whether Mr.. Walker was right or
wrong in his decision. He had come to
see and feel that this primitive confess
ion of faith was all embracing. Christ
was the Alpha and Omega, of the Old
and New Testaments. To confess him
was to confess all the truth they con-
tain. He had made up his mind to
stand on this proposition. He was
true to himself and to his convictions.
It requires vigorous and independent
thinker and in every sense, strong
man to act in this manner.

A NERVOUS WRECK
Mrs. Green Gained 26 Pounds and
Recovered Her Health by Taking
Or. Williams Pink Pills.

General debility is term that covers
a multitude of cases where there is no
acute disease, yet the patient continues
to lose strength and the doctors medi
cines have no apparent effect. This is
the decline that leads to death if means
are not found to check it. In great
majority of cases DR.. Williams Pink
Pills will check it and restore health and
strength because they actually make new
blood and so send renewed vitality to
every organ and tissue of the body.
Mrs. S. A. Green, whose address is
Box 30, r. f. D. No. 4, Franklin, Ga,
- says: "For three and a half years
suffered with weakness and nervous
ness, complicated with stomach trouble.

months and was under the physicians

Miss MteMelOnoId

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from well. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits, reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything, backache,
bearing-down pains, flatulency, nerv-
BUSINESS, sleeplessness, or other fe-
male weakness.
These symptoms are but warnings
thatathere is danger ahead, and unless
needed life of suffering or serious
operation is the inevitable result.
The never. failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia Z. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound.
Miss Kate Mcdonald of Woodbridge,
N. j., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
"Restored health has meant so much to me
that l cannot help from telling about it for
the sake of other suffering women.
For long time / suffered untold agony
with female trouble and irregularities,
which made me physical wreck, and no one
thought would recover, but Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has entirely
cured me, and made me well and strcng, and
| feel it my duty to tell other suffering women
what e splendid medicine it is"
For twenty-five years Mrs. Pinkham,
daughter-in-law of Lydia e. Pinl1ham,
has under her direction, and since her
decease, been advising sick women free
of charge. Her advice is free and
always helpful. Address, Lynn, Mass

some. In them the fruit is permitted
to roll from the bottom. While these
might answer with oranges, says the
Rural New Yorker, they should moi
be used with first-class apples, as the
pouring into the bag will surely bruise
them. AS Prof. Judson says, the aver.
age picker cannot Withstand the
temptation to stand UP and let them
shoot out of the bag when the fore
mans back is turned. The best pick
ing bag appears to be the one shown
in our illustration. This is called an
apron bag, being usually made from a
heavy grain sack. 1t hangs in from
convenient for filling, and is shallow,
so that the first apple can be laid in il
without dropping. Both hands are free
to pick, and the bag will hold all that
the wearer can easily carry, yet it can
not be poured out unless the picker
stands on his head. This seems to be
the best way to avoid bruising in pick
ing and handling in the orchard. The
apples are put from this apron bag into
apple boxes. Those used for orchard
handling have a slot in each end for q
hand, and they can be easily picked III
and carried to the packing shed. Fol
this journey spring wagon is used
or if the distance is short stone boat
is frequently employed.

Apples, plums and cherries may be
grown by grating, while peaches,
pears and cherries are more frequent
ly budded. Either operation requires
that good scions be obtained from
healthy trees of the desired variety.
This is where the farmer may make
use of the good varieties of the neigh
borhood.
In early winter, before frost has in
iured the twigs, cut good scions for
spring grating. Take those from the
most vigorous trees, particularly from
the ends of the main branches, where
the buds are we'll developed. These
in the cellar until used. Buds are cut
as they are needed.
Grating is a simple operation which
may be learned with a little practice
and may be done in the winter when
other work is not crowding. The
most successful graft for nursery prac-
tice is the tongue graft.
The root, a, is cut, as shown in Fig.
1, with tongue, which is fitted into
notch cut in the scion, b. The two
are stuck together with the bark lay
ers opposite and then wrapped with
cord or string. Ordinary No. Is cot
ton wrapping Irvine is best, as it rots
off by the time the graft is ready to
grow. The CRAFTS are placed in cellar
until time to plant in spring. They
are set six inches apart in rows three
feet wide with two buds on the scion
above ground.
Budding is done in the summer
when the scions are in most vigor-
GUS growth. The scions should be
cut from strong, healthy trees. Trim
the leaves as shown in Fig. 2 at a and
cut off the buds as they are set. They
are inserted under the bark at b, and
wrapped with Irvine or raffia to keep
them securely in place.
After once well started, says the
Farm and Home, the bodies should be
kept clean to prevent undue branch
ing and make them grow tall. Good
cultivation is necessary at all times.
They will usually grow from one to
two feet high during the first year,
and if the soil is favorable, will be
ready to transplant to the orchard
the second autumn.

A FARMERS NURSERY.
II Is Easily Managed and Should Be
Feature of Every Farm.

A small home nursery is easily man
aged and in many cases highly profit
able. Where old orchards of good
standard varieties exist, it is COM
paratively simple matter to grow
young trees. By planning a little
ahead, the farmer may grow his own
fruit trees and plant considerable
orchard at slight expense.
Seeds Of good quality must be pre-
served to grow stocks for budding or
grating, This is done by cleaning
and washing them when they are re-
moved from the fruit and allowed to
dry in the sun. They may be kept
over winter in box of moist sand,
or pile of leaves left out of doors.
1t is best to allow them to freeze,
which will crack the shells sufficient
ly for sprouting. The seeds are sown
In rows three feet wide, and three to
six inches apart in the row. Stocks
usually attain sufficient size to bud or
graft with one years growth.

THE COOLING MOTHS.
Autumn and Winter Habits of Thu
Troublesome Enemy of the Orchard.


An examination Of the fruit in thu
fall will show how important late
spraying for the apple orchard is. The
cooling moth begins early and thini
out the fruit by means of it's first
brood. This fruit is out of the way
early. 1t drops off when less than hall
grown. These early larvae enter thu,
apple at the calyx, as is well known
Later comes the moth for the secont
brood. She lays her eggs largely OF
leaves, where they do not damage, bu
some of them are laid on the greer
apples, and the larvae that hatch Our
enter the fruit wherever it is mos
convenient. So the scientists have
told us, and little observation will
prove it. These worms are caught b.,
the late July spraying. A film O
poison on the apple will put an ent
to the worm before it can do any in
jury.
Much has been learned about tn,
codling moth within recent years, bur
there is still room for further re
search. The worms that hatch on thu
leaves eat the under side, and hav,
been known to burrow along the mid
rib. There is reason to suppose that
they can develop in the leaf. Is +
often that they do this? That may
explain why the insects are plentiful
even after a year in which there hav,
been scarcely any apples. Not havin,
fruit to live in, they have grown III
in leaves. If this should prove to bl
the fact, it will be as important t
spray in 'off" years as when there IL
fruit, perhaps more so, as the larval
can be killed better on foliage thar
on the apples. This is an interestin,
question, and one which owners of or
chards can assist to answer.
Not only are there two broods of tn,
codling moth during the year, but /
is now considered possible that ther'
might be three, though that many hav'
not been actually reported. But thu
development Of the pest differs 81
much in the length of time required
that there are mature insects from thu
beginning to the end of its season
We can get along quite well withou
third brood.
The codling moth came from Eu
rope, but unfortunately did not brini
its enemies with it. There are sew
eral of them, so it appears. The de
partment of agriculture is now inter
ested in them, and has been expert
menting with several. The result
have been sufficient to excite the hope
of fruit growers. In time the codlini
moth may go, as has already been pre-
dicted, but that time is still some dis
lance in the future. There is as ye
no safe and easy means for getting rit
of the worm in apples, and there ma!
not be till spray pumps are worn out
that are still unmade.

Habits of Wild Bees.

There are about five thousand spe-
cies of the wild bees, all with interest
ing ways of their own. Among them
is a species whose females are VERT
able amazons, and carry more and
better weapons than the males. There
are the "cukoo" bees, who deposit
their eggs in the nests of others, the
progeny of both living peaceably to-
gether until maturity, when they sep
arate. Then there is the tailoring bee,
which cuts leaves with her scissors
like jaws, and fits snug lining of the
leaf material into her cave-shaped
nest

SPADE DEEPLY FOR TREES.

When a new tree is to be set out the
ground should be we'll prepared for it.
When large plantations are to be put
In, a plow may be used in the prep
aration of the ground. More often,
however, the spade is used for pre-
pairing the ground in which trees are
TO be set. The depth of the spade is
about ten inches, which is about four
inches more than the depth of or
binary blowing. The depth of the
spade, says the Farmers Review,
should be the measure used in turn

the forming of natural water-tight

AWFUL PSORIASIS IS YEARS.
Terrible Scaly Humor in Patches All
Over the 5ody-Skin Cracked and
Bleeding-Cured by Cuticura.

IT was afflicted with psoriasis for
thirty-fiVe years. 1t was in patches
all over my body. l used three cakes
of Cuticura Soap six boxes Of Oint-
ment and two bottles of Resolvent.
In thirty days I was completely cured,
and l think permanently, as it was
about five years ago. The psoriasis
first made its appearance in red spots,
generally forming q circle, leaving in
the center a spot about the size of a
silver dollar of sound flesh. In short
time the affected circle would form
a heavy dry scale of a white silvery
appearance and would gradually drop
off. To remove the entire scales by
bathing or using oil to soften them
the flesh would be perfectly raw, and
light discharge of bloody substance
would ooze out. That scaly crust
would form again in twenty-four hours.
1t was worse on my arms and limbs,
although it was in spots all over my
body, also on my scalp. If let the
scales remain too long without remov-
ing by bath or otherwise, the skin
would crack and bleed. l suffered in
tense itching, worse at nights after
getting warm in bed, or blood warm
by exercise, when it would be almost
unbearable. w. M. Chichester, Hutch
