the cu.-worm from cutting vegeta-

perience In farming ! can recommend
this: Take one handful of wood
ashes TO each hill OF corn and no
cut-worm will bother. One-fourth OF
same applied to each cabbage plant
will prevent their work. A very light
coat applied to onion bed will have
the anne effect. Even weak ashes

Hall Wins First Game.

Lew Hail, the new manager Of the
DISCOVERIES, may not haul down the
pennant IN the Cotton States League,
but he won his first game. The man
from Denver made his debut as
leader of the local aggregation in the
closing contest of the Jackson series
last Wednesday afternoon, and Co
Iumbus won the game by a score of
four TO two Miller was in the box
for Jackson, and his inability to
grind out curves and in-shoots at the
psychological moment resulted in his
downfall. Miller was exceedingly
wild at the beginning, and his wild
ness gave the locals their first tally.
In the fourth inning Downing walk
ed, was sacrificed to second by Ollre.
and scored when Miller gave Corbett
and Hall successive passes. Colum-
bus made two runs In the fifth and
another in the ninth, the usual or

and Jackson having had last kurn at

scores in the seventh, both having
come as the result OF safe hits.

visitors, and evidently forgot TO

first two innings all right, but in
the third was as wild as a March

the bases, and another hit brought
in the first run. Billiard lost con-
