teurs, .whet js ths defnition of nar- cissIss also of R daRodilY The afi- swer given by high authority fs that the word narcissus applies to the genus and that ie embraces all the different varieties; all daffodiis belong to the genus narcissus. dahodh is flower that has . trumpet and the typical variety Is the yellow one that grows wild in England. The typical narcissus is the poets narcissus. a white flower with a small saucer shaped crown, instead of long trum- pet. The distinguishing feature Of the genus r1arcfssus is the presence of this crown and the different species fall into their groups as the crown Is shaped like saucer, q cup. or a trumpet. There are six species that every one ought to know, and the following s'key" shows at a glance how each one diners from every other. To the stu- dentxof bulbs this key" is very val- uablef The six species are thus grouped:
 Fsrst--Poet's Narcissus: "a. Crown small. saucer shaped; b. Leaves flat; c. Flowers one to two on a stalk.
 Second Poiythanthus Narcissus: Flowers four to twelve on a stalk. Third--Jonuuil: bb. Leaves cyIindrf- cal-rush like.
 Fourth--PeerteSs Narc1Ssus. aa- Grown medium. shaped saucer-Iile.
 Fifth--Daffodil: aaa. Grown large. trumpet shaped; D. Leaves fiat.
 Sixth--TIoop Petticoat: bb. Leaves cylindrical rush like.
 Cultiyation--The cultural instruc- tions as given in The American Ency- clodepia of Horticulture cannot be ifn-. proved upon--a consensed account is thus given: "Narcissi do well in any soil except the two extremes of sand and clay, but good drainage is essen~ tial. Prepare the ground thoroughly, for the bulbs are to remain undis- turbed for five or six years. until the bulbs are so thick that they crowd up to the surface. Set the bulbs four to six inches apart. and cover them foux or five inches deep. Set those that in- crease slowly, like the trumpet daf- fodi1, four inches apart; leave six inches between the more vigorous spe- cies. Should there be a danger of frozen soil, cover the earth with a strawy manure, to be removed when the weather moderates. Do not allow, the flower to go to seed, cut the stalk not the leaves, or the bulbs cannot ripen well and the flowers next year will be inferior. If you want the best cut flowers for indoor decoration, cut them as soon as the buds open. The flower will last much longer than if exposed to the sun after opening. You can mail such buds to a friend and they

TERRIBLE CRIME
YOUNG HUCKARY TELLS or BRAD-
 FORD MURDER.
Tn Jail at Linden He Confesses That the Body of the old Man Was
 Mutilated Before Death

Demopolis. Oct. 26---(Special. 1.-The confession of Young Huckaby. who with hts father, Bert Hucixabys was ar yestcd and placed in jail at Linden last Wednesday on suspicion of being inn plicated in the murder of the aged far mer. Luke Bradford, reveals one of the most diabolical murders that was ever perpetrated In this county or section.
 He told of how the murder was com mitted. They first. he said. cut one of the old mans fingers of in an en- deavor to make him disclose the hid. ing place of his money. and when he refused to comply with their demand, they cut off his arm, but still the old miser refused to reveal where his money was. They then severed his head from his body. Young Huckaby told the authorities where they would ind the places where the arm was buried, the axe with which they committed the deed and the spot where they hid a portion of the money to b0 usod to defray the expenses of the first one ar- rested. Then they divided the remain der of the money.
 Young Huckaby claims that his fa- ther had nothing to do with the mur- der. while the old man says he was there with others.
 1t Is said when the bank officials asked old man Huckaby how he came in possession of so much ragged money. he replied that the rats gnawed 1t. but that he had killed the rats. This is what led to his arrest.

opFTUARY OF W. H. prAN.

Entered into eternal rest at his resi-. dence, The Films. near Jacksonville Alabama, at 5:25 ?. m. October 3ist 1907. William Henry Dean, aged .6i years.
 Deceased was the son of Moses ant Eliza B. Dean.
 He was born fin St. Clair County, Ala. hama in 1s44.
 In 1S61 he entered tho Confederate Army and served with great gallantrS until the end of the war, in the famous 10th Alabama Regiment, in the Ar my of Northern Virginia.
 After the surrender. he removed tc Jacksonville, uAlabarna, and engaged in the mercantile business with Major P. Rowan, under the firm name of Rowan Dean & Company, of which he contin. Led to be member until 1881. At this time he removed to his beau tiful country seat where ho remained until the time of his death.
 He was married in, 1884 to Miss Ida Steel, one of Gallons most attractive and accomplished women, and belong ing to one of the oldest families in the State.
 It was his unspeaixable misfortune to be bereft of his estimable wife in one year after marriage. a sorrow which was ever with him to the close of his life.
 As a business man. Mir. Dean was honorable and upright; and at the samu time, he was very successful, ainassinE a comfortable fortune. and proving that honesty is after all the best policy, even from a financial standpoint
 Tn his private life he was kind and tender hearted. courteous to all. char. andi discreet friend, and of great hu- milfty.
 As a member of the Episcopal Church he was consistent. devout, and a iiber- al contributor. He was one of the few families who made q resident rector possible in Jacksonville.
 For four long years he was a pa- tient, uncomplaining sufferer, and as he lived, so he died. No hurried prep aration was needed. There was no re. morse in his death.
 On Thursday, the 17th. he received the Holy Communion. and from that time began to grow perceptibly weaker until he fell Asleep in Jesus" as quietly and peacefully as the innocent sleep of a child.
 All of the family. few relatives and the rector. were by hIs bedside when he breathed his last; and while they grieved to part from. their loved one. they had the comforting assur arice that he had~on1y laid down the cross to take up the crown, and that they would not long be separated.
 He leaves a brother. Walter Dean, and two sisters. Mrs. S. L. Edwards and Mrs M E. Vance, and a large num- Der of relatives and friends to mourn their loss.
 lAe was, buried Monday. the 22nd. from the church ly her beautiful and impressive services. which cor breathe a message of hope and comfort to the living.
 we shall sadly miss him, but we would not selhshIy call him back if we could to this sphere of trouble.

 The Narcissus.
 As this is the month en which to plant the narcissus. have chosen this nower, and its culture, for our Flower Growers column. Says an exchange: -tI we would nave ue 4f0Fy dHu Snow of the narcissus in our gardens this winter, now ts time to prepare tho beds. Speaking of this flower, The Garden Manuel dwells upon it's popu- |arity, that 1t is significant fact that the narcissus has forged ahead of the hyaclnth, and now ranks second only 10 the tulip among spring bulbs. It is aasy to see why the tulip should be the favorite, because 1t has the largest flowers, the greatest range of eolors, and the most vivid hues. The hya- cinth has also q wide range of colors and fuge spires of flowers. But the narcissus, and especially it's variety Of daffodiI, are at the other extreme from those big showy things; their beauty is of the diminutive, slender. delicate type. Peter Barr says that some narcissns seem fainting away, evaporating into the air as you look at them" and that this "die-away lanEuor Is in eonsomme with the myth.s They have only two cclors-- white and yellow Their varieties in form can be comprehended in q mo- ment; yet there are hundreds Of named varieties and some of them when pew have sold for SIPS a bu1b."
