GARDENERS
MANUAL

The Gazette can now, for the
first time, offer a very helpful
guide for Southern gardeners, in
the new work OF Prof. J. S.
Newman. He has long taught
this branch and practiced it, and
his book is the only practical
one OF the kind in print for
Southern conditions. Very help
tut information is given on all
kinds Of vegetables and small
fruits, Including instructions on
comb batting parasite and insect
pests, on what, when and how to
plant. If its instructions are
followed il will save labor, in.
crease yields, give a variety of
wholesome food, make gardening
a pleasure. and supply fresh
s%ucculent food y months in the
year. The price OF the book is
81, and orders can be sent d,.
rect TO the Gazette; or IS cents
can be added 10 what is RENTED
for the Gazette, and the book
will be sent to subscribers.
Both those who have and those
who have not had wide expert.
cncc with vegetables and small
fruits will certainly DC aided by
the book. The Gazette could
not afford to make these state
mcnts without good reasons,
and hopes its subscribers will
benefit by this arrangement to
give them a reduced price on
the book. 1t is not large. but is
pointed. 1t is not wild theoriz-
ing, but a statement Of how good
work has been done with ease
and profit by a practical man.

HARD BLOWS BY HIS FRIENDS.

The hardest blows against Vice
President Fairbanks candidacy for
president are being delivered by his
friends Only recently, for example,
the indianapolis newspapers, which
profess to look fayorably upon the
viee-president's ambition to become
president. were filled with stories of
strife and dissention over the unwilling
of the Lawton monument at Indianap-
oils As the president is to speak at
the unwilling of the monument the In
dianapolis papers originated stories TO
the effect that he was TO be asked by
G. A r. men not to appear. The
whole affair. however. proved TO be a
tempest in teapot" and blew over
without any such desire of the G. A.
r. being expressed to President Roose-
welt Since then, though carefully
guarded. the secret back of the Indian
apolis newspapers attempt to keep the
president from speaking at Indianap-
these papers feared" that as result
of the speech the president will deliv-
er Thursday, he will gain still strong
er hold on the people OF Indiana. to the
detriment of the vice-president'S polit-
ical chances. 1t is rather hard to I'M
derstand why the Indianapolis papers
should take this line of reasoning, in
view of their repeated declarations
that the president is in no way against
Mr.. Fairbanks candidacy. Only
week or SO ago these Indianapolis pa
pers were printing long articles setting
forth what great regard President
Roosevelt had for Viee-President Fair
banks and that he would by no means
dislike to see him succeed to the presi-
dency. Pray, if all this be true, then
why should the Indianapolis papers try
to concoct a scheme to keep the presi-
dent from speaking in Indianapolis?
Rather they should be glad of the visit
of President Roosevelt, the man who
has done so much to curb our over-in-
dulgent, chorus rl-managed corpora
tions. BY their persistent efforts to
keep President Roosevelt out of In
have done Vice-President Fairbanks
cause immeasureable harm, and lead
one to believe that he is unfortunate in

No ACTION TAKEN
FOR WARD DIVISION
Committee on Ordinance and
Franchises Has Not Met.
STUDY SAYS UNLAWFUL.

The council committee on franchises
and ordinances has held no meeting up
to the present time TO prepare an or
dinance for the division of the Sew
enth ward, consequently at council
meeting next Monday night there will
be no ordinance ready to submit to
council.
City Attorney Study is still of the
opinion that the additional ward to the
city cannot be added legally until 1909,
when the next city election is held. He
has fully examined the law in this re-
spect and cannot find a loophole
whereby the Seventh ward can be di-
vided. This being the case, it is not
generally understood why council has
decided to act on an ordinance provid-
ing for an additional ward at the pres
ent time.

her the hour and almost stupefied
