BADLY FOOLED.
A Young Woman Became Engag'
ed to a Man She
Had Never Seen and Went to Lake
Park, Ga, to Marry Him and
Found Her Intended Negro.

Park, Ga, to Marry Him and
Found Her Intended Negro.
A dispatch from Valdosta, Ca.
says the spectacle of an intelligent
and good looking white woman COM
ing 1000 miles to marry a man
whom she found to be a negro has
greatly exercised the people of Lake
Park, Ga. Information of the affair
reached Valdosta Thursday.
On Saturday afternoon there al
lighted from a Georgia Southern and
Florida train at Park Lake young
woman who was a stranger to the
people there, and who, aftec await
ing around the station some time, as
if expecting some one to meet her
ventured to inquire of bystanders, if
they knew Rev. J. j. Roberts.
The man first appealed to thought
a few moments and finally confessed
that he did not know of any one by
that name in the town. Another par
ty told the lady that the only J. ].
Roberts in the town was a negro
preacher known locally at Burnt
Eyed jake" who got his name from
the fact that he had lost one eye in a
fire.
The lady was escorted to the Lake
Park hotel by some of the sympath-
etic citizens, and it was there that
she told her story. She said her
home was in Vermont. Some months
ago she began a correspondence with
Rev. J. ]. Roberts, Of Lake Park
getting in communication with him
through a matrimonial paper or cor
respondence bureau.
She had become engaged to him
and he had sent her money to pay
her way to Georgia, where they were
to marry. She fearlessly began the
long journey, believing that her al
fanced was, of course, white man,
and one prominent in his section.
After hearing her story citizens OF
the town went out to look for the
negro. and he appeared as greatly
surprised as the woman had been
He admitted that he had been cor
responding with a lady in Vermont,
but thought she was "cullud lady
He protested that he had never
dreamed of his correspondent being
white lady.

The appointment by Gov. Ansel OF
Hayne F. Rice of Aiken as member
of the State board of education to
fill out the uneXpired term of E.
Boland, resigned from the second dis
trict, has caused Mr.. o. B. Martin,
the State superintendent of educa-
ton, to write Gov. Ansel that the
selection is not satisfactory because
Mr. Rice is a lawyer and not an
educator. The letter also makes the
interesting statement that Mr.. Martin
will not be candidate for the Office
he now occupies again.
The situation in what is called the
cabinet" by the newspaper men is
rather strained Some time ago Gov.
Ansel announced that he had offered
the vacancy in the second district to
Hon. John C. Sheppard. Superin-
tendent Martin wrote the governor
very strong letter Of protest and
in the controversy Mr.. Sheppard de-
clined to serve. The vacancy re-
manned until after the meeting of
the State board of education last
month and when the appointment
was announced Tuesday it was sup

other horticultural tools, and can be
obtained of most of the large hardware
stores. The blade Of the knife above
is made of one continuous piece Of
steel. Mr.. w. II. Laws, of Beeyille,
Tex. used knife similar to this
while | visited him several years ago.
His knife was not as heavy, and the
blade was made pocket-knife style.
and could be closed This made ii
handy to carry in the pocket; but
the objection was that prying hives
and frames caused the blade to work
loose in it's Joints This weak point,
in addition to being more expensive
also, makes the knife without the
joint, and the consequent lower price,
more satisfactory hive tool. 1t can
be carried in the hip pocket with ease,
having the handle downward: in fact,
the hip-pocket is the most handy hive
tool bag" l know of-the most con-
venient in reach at all times
This knife is excellent for pryins
hives, frames and anything else apart;
also for opening boxes or taking of
covers or bottoms that have been
nailed on. 1t is sharp. and can be
used for cutting at any time, the
same edge being used for scraping
frames, etc. 1t is also the handiest
small tool for cutting away weeds in
front of the entrances of the hives
A few slashes at the same time the
few puffs Of smoke preparatory to
opening the hive are given, leave a
clean dOoryard-sOmething more es.
sential during a honey-flow than most
of the craft might suppose. For cut.
ting or hacking off limbs of trees
that are in the way this pruning knife
inally intended for. Mailing can be
done with the blade, it's weight per.
hitting of driving even large nails
The back end of the handle is rath
er fiat. round, and smooth, and is
used in emergencies for fastening
foundation in frames, especially when
such has accidentally torn loose in
handling, or when pulled. off by the
weight Of the bees.
Another correspondent writes:

estimation that is suitable for the
DanZenbaker hive. 7 have tried sew

that I use, and it is all that can be
desired. 1t is simply butcher-knife
of the best quality. with a notch cut
in the back of it so it can be used as
hook to pull the spring out of the
hive. 1t is so thin that it can be
forced between a super and the hive,
and it is strong enough SO that, by
giving it twist, you can pry it loose,
no matter how tight it is stuck BY
taking hold of the handle and using
the left hand on the back of the
knife near the point you can easily
force it between the frames and
pry them apart. 1t is also an excel

frames. Then another excellent fea-
ture about it. it is long enough so that
it will reach the bottom of the frames.

THORoUGHNEss in DETAIL.
Don't Hatch More Chickens Than You
Can Well Care For.

Success in the poultry business de-
ponds largely on the thoroughness in
all it's details. 1t has been truly said
that whatever is worth doing at all is
worth doing WELL" therefore, we shouldi
bear this in mind at the beginning Of
the Matching season. and not hatch
more chicks than we can properly care.
for. \ small flock of poultry we'll:
taken care of is more satisfactory and
more profitable than very large flock
or scraWny, lousy fowls which are I'M
mt tor home use and are always drug
on the market.
1t is better to have flock of so hens
well taken care of than to have a flock
OF 500 raised in haphazard sort Of,
way. The poultryman who devotes;
his time exclusively to the business
can be more thorough than the farmer
who raises poultry merely as a side
line. The farmers wives, as a rule,
are overtaXed with work and feel they
cannot give their poultry the attention.
1t should have. The wise thing to do
under these circumstances is to bear
in mind that quality will pay better
than quantity and refrain from hatch
ing more than one can properly take
care Of
1t is quite amusing during the springs
and summer months to hear the re-,
ports of the housewives in neighbour
hood of chickens each has hatched.
We would like to hear from them
again in the fall; it is the number We
raise that counts, provided the quality
is right. We cannot raise poultry like
weeds; if We did they would be like
weeds worthless. Who could relish
tough, scrawny, lousy fowl. which
had been starved all it's life, and tor
tured with lice? Does it pay to raise
such fowlso
Why not be consistent about these
things, urges Farmers Advocate, and
remember that fowls should have clean
places to rOost. clean food, and fresh
water, clean drinking vessels and
clean troughs or pans for their feed.
The bill of fare should be changed
often; they should have access to
fresh dirt. Grit shonld always be be-
fore them. Lime and disinfectants
should be freely used to keep down
doors. Success cannot be obtained in
any business without effort and the
poultry business is no exception to the
! rule. Persistent efforts and thorough.
ness in all the details are what count
and will bring results that can be ob-
tanned in NO nthtr nav

Movable Poultry Houses.

Movable poultry houses are coming
into use on many farms, especially on;
those farms where many hundreds of
fowls are kept. Some of these poul-
try houses are supported on skids,.
long runners on which the houses can;
be dragged about wherever desired,
Generally the houses are pulled over,
grass ground, and over grass the run
ners slip easily. The skids are made
of long pieces of planks planed smooth
on the undersde and slightly hewed;
at the front end, SO as to give an up
turn. Two of these are connected firm
ly by means of cross pieces, so that a
horse can be hitched to the front part
and the whole establishment moved to
any part of the farm. This makes it
easy to move the horse every week
or so, and thus give the fowls fresh
grass.

UNCLE PETER BINES COMES TO

He brought Billy Brue with him. a

of Percival friends were never able to

Percival had presented the old man,

TWO HANDY HIVE TOOLS.
Knives That Will Serve a Variety Of
Purposes.

For several seasons I have used a
stout pruning knife with a hawk BILL
blade as a hive tool in my apiaries.
and have found it to be the most sat-
isfactory and handiest tool for the
greatest variety of purposes of all the
tools tried, writes a correspondent of
Bee Culture
The entire length of the pruning
knife is about eight inches, and it is
very stout in its makeup. The blade
is made of good steel, and retains q
sharp edge, while the back of the
blade is about one-eighth inch thick.
These knives are advertised with
