here with many expressions of re-
greet. While in town on Monday

was taken worse and remained un-
conscious until the end came Sat-
psdsy morning at s o'clock. The
funeral services were conducted
by Rev. ID. d. Byrd, and the burial
took place at Rushing's Greek
Cemetery Sunday afternoon. Mr..
Marchbanks was vice president of
the First National Bank of Cam

his demise is keenly felt by his
many friends here and elsewhere

THE BLUE AND THE GRAY.

THE BLUE AND THE GRAY.
There died in Ithaca, N. Y, re-
Gently a man whose memory will
long outlive any monument of
marble or granite that may mark
his final resting place. This man
Francis M. Finch modest, un-
assuming student that he was, has
left a heritage which will grow in
appreciation with years.
It was in the spring Of 1867,
when the soil of the South was
still red with the blood of brothers
and the echoes of the guns in the
great civil war had scarce died
away, that the following appeared
in the New York Tribune:
The women of Columbus, Miss, ami
mated by nober sentiments than are
many of their sisters, have shown them
selves impartial in their offerings to the
memory of the dead. They strewed flow
ers alike on the graves of the Confeder-
ate and the Federal soldiers.
This paragraph caught the eye
of Mr.. Finch, then man Of 40. 1t
came as an inspiration to him, and
shortly thereafter he wrote "The
Blue and the Gray"
BY the flow of the inland river,
Whence the fleets of iron have fled,
Where the Blades of the grave grass
culver,
Asleep are the ranks Of the dead:
Under the sod, and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the one, the Blue;
Under the other, the Gray.
Only those who lived in the Pc
Rod aan appreciate how unpopular
II was TO associate the Gray with
the Blue. The defeated South was
sullen, despairing, vindictive; the
victorious North exultant and I'M
compromising. And yet, even in
those days with q nation mourning
for the slain thousands, the tender,
beautiful sentiment of Ffnch's
poem touched many heart, and
undoubtedly was powerful factor
in directing the destiny of the
country.
AS we look back over the piano.
rama of years covering the period
leading up to the war, the conflict
itself, and finally the era of recon-
struction, we often wonder at the
folly of it all-why these men of
the same flesh and blood, Of the
same traditions and the same faiths
could not settle their differences
without resort to cruel war. And
we OF the present generation Won
der sometimes why, after peace
was declared, it took SO long to eff
feet a reconciliation in spite of this
pathetic prophecy:
No more shall the war cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red;
They Danish our anger forever,
When they laurel the graves of our
dead
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Love and tears for the Blue;
Tears and love for the Gray.
Francis M. Finch was a scholar,
an orator and profound lawyer.
His opinions delivered while he
was associate Judge of the court of
appeals are modelled of clearness
and dicfion, and yet he will be best
known to posterity as the poet who
pleaded the cause of American
fraternity.

fall Seedace.


The following directions in regard to
the fall sowing az peach pits and other
nutlilSe seeds are given by /. a. Bailey.
who says
Fall sowing amounts to stfatifcation,
but. unless the soil is mellow and very
thoroughly drained the practice is not
advisable. The seeds are liable to be
heaved or washed out, eaten by ver-
min, and the soil is apt to bake over
them. Under proper conditions, how
ever, the seeds of fruits and many
forest trees thrive well under fall SOW
ing. The seeds should be sown as soon
as they are ripe. even if in midsummer,
or, il the ground is not ready for them
at that time, they may be temporarily
stratified to prevent too great harden
ing of the parts. 1t is best, however,
to allow all green or moist seeds to
dry off 4 few days before they are
stratifed. Fan sown seeds should al
ways be nlulched.
Some seeds rarely germinate until
the second year after maturity. even
with the best of treatment. The thorns,
mountain ASH, hoilleS, ylDufnumS, some
roses and many others belong to this
category. Some growers sow them
regularly as soon as they are ripe and
allow the beds to remain until the
seeds appear. This is waste of land
and of labor in wedding, and the best
way is to stratify them and allow them
to remain until the second spring be-
fore sowing.
Partial substitutes for stratifcation
are soaking and scalding the seeds.
Soaking may be advantageousIy prac-
ticed in the case Of slow and hard
seeds which are not inclosed in bony
shells and which have been allowed to
become dry. Seeds of apple, locust
and others of similar character are
sometimes treated in this manner

1t also stands in high esteem for home
use The fruit is very large. greenish
yellow, with bread stripes of red. and
may be kept from late September until
early winter II should be sold direct
to the consumer without going into
cold storage, because it goes down rap
idly during October and November.
When placed n cold storage it may
be kept until midwinter, but loses it's
quality. Though large apple, it hangs
fairly well on the tree, a characteristic
which makes it especially useful in
the home orchard. As an evaporating
variety it is distinctly inferior to Maid
en- Blush and Baldwin. The tree is a
vigorous grower. with rather erect
main branches, which droop more or
less, on which account it is preferably
top worked upon such stocks as North
en Spy and Talman. Naturally it
bears rather young and is almost sure
of a crop each year. The fruit shown
above was grown BY w M Gift Of
Lehigh county, Pa AS a display it
was awarded first prize. The picture

KILL OFF THE RATS.
How These Poultry House Nuisances
May BE Externainated.

How These Poultry House Nuisances
May BE Exterminated.
The following is taken from pub
sication Of the United States depart
ment of agriculture known as bulle-
tin No. 297 and entitled Methods Of
Destroying Rats
Tor poisoning rats in buildings and
yards occupied by poultry the follow
ing method is recommended. Two
wooden boxes should he used, one con-
siderably larger than the other and
each having two or more holes in the
eides large enough to adinit rats. The
poisoned bait should be placed on
the bottom and near the middle of
the larger box, and the smaller box
should then be inyerte@ over il. Rats
thus have free access to the bait,
but fowls are excluded.
Trapping, If persistently followed,
is one Of the most effective methods
of destroying rats. The improved
modern traps with a wire fall released
by bs1ted trigger and driven by a
coiled spring have marked advantages
over tie old forms. and many of them
may be used at the same time. These
traps, sometimes called guillotine
traps, are of many designs, but the
more simply constructed are to be pre-
feHred Probably those made entirely
of metal are best, as--they are less
likely TO absorb and retain odors.
Surfdfy bats for guiIlotine traps are
given and methods of batting. and the
Bulletin gives the following:
BY the persistent use of traps, occa-
sional resort to poison, and the exer-
else of foretheught in the construction
of farm buildings so as to minimize
the opportunities for harborage, farm
ers and others may prevent the greater
part of the loss and annoyance they
now experience from rat depredations.
The same statement applies in great
measure to city and village conditions;
hence cooperation in the warfare on
rats is particularly important and cam
not be too strongly urged.

Chicks Dvinc In the Shell.

There are many causes Of chicks
dying in the shell, chief Of them being
poor condition of the breeding stock
from which the eggs for Matching

hens from birds that have been forced
for heavy laying, or that are debili-
tated from any cause, is common
source of this trouble. Where imma-

steady pain in the small Of my back and through

tended around to the lower part OF the abdomen

to stoop or lift anything. Doan's Kidney Pills
