rARpoN FISHING FROM PIER.

The tarpon at Egmont Key have
been crowding around the wharves
the last few weeks in great numbers,
striking minnows and churning up
the waters furiously.
There has been much fishing for
them from the piers. The result is
a tremendous struggle when the tar
pom strikes the bait and then strikes
out on beeline for Honduras to see
if the sportsman can stay on the
pier until an assistant can take him
off in a boat.
In the great majority Of cases he
can't and the fun Of witnessing the
effort is immense. Everybody gets
strikes, sometimes several at once,
and the slaughter Of tackle Is great.

the latter a diriGible balloon, have ex-
pressed keen interest in the recent
remarkable flight of twelve hours over

A. NJ. Herring, whose interest lies
more In the aeroplane type OF machine.

Cp-to-date farmers are agreed that in
many cases better results are obtained
on meadows from fertilizers which are
applied ia the summer or early fall. This
is true both As to toP-dressing aud seed

We wish to call the attention of the
farmers of Vermont to the fact that We

ers especially adapted to top-dressing aud
seeding-down grass land. These formu-
las have not only been approved by the
Vermont Experiment Station, but have
been used with excellent results by a
great many farmers in Vermont and
have proved thoroughly reliable. We
eau also furnish the materials for mix
ing ferterliz-rS in accordance with these
formulas. We should he pleased to send
the formulas together with full directions
for mixing, cost of materials etc, to

Bryan and Kern,

The democratic, national convention
concluded its labors late Friday after
noon by the nomination of John Worth
Kern, of Indiana, for ce-President
completing the ticket on which William
Jennings Bryan was made the nominee
for president during the early hours of
the morning. The nomination of Kern
was made by reclamation and the re.
sounding cheers of delegates and specta.
tors. No ballot was necessary as the
tide of sentiment had set irresistibly
toward the Indiana candidate, state after
state registering their delegations in his
favor, and all other candidates with
drawing before the universal demand
for his nomination.
