 IS ABOUT TO BE ISSUED

The oficial tabulation of some rad tcaI changes in the passenger Sched- ule of the Louisville and Nashville were sent to the printers Friday morn ing.
 Train No. 2, due in Montgomery from New Orleans at 7:45 a. m, will. under the new schedule. reach Montgomery at 7:55 a. m.. ten minutes later, leav- ing Mobile ten minutes later. Going north there will be a change of thirty i've minutes out of Montgomery. At present this train leaves Montgomery for Nashville at S:25 a. n.. but under the new. schedule 1t will leave at 3 a. m.
 This change will cause one on the Atlantic Coast Line, which road brings q morning train in from Jacksonville with a Pullman that goes to Chicago on the Louisville and Nashville No. g. The coast Line train. No. 57. now ar- rives in Montgomery at S:05 a. m., twenty minutes before the leaving time of the Louisville and Nashville train at y:25. As the l.. and N. No. 9 will, under the new schedule, leave Montgomery for Chicago at a. m. instead of s:25 a. m, the Coast Line train No 57 will arrive Tn Montgom- cry with the Florida Pullman at $50 a. m., ten minutes before the leaving time of the L. and N. train for the North, making a change of forty-five minutes later in the arriving time of the Coast Line train.
 Coming South, train No: of the Louisville and Nashville arrives. in Montgomery from the North at 7:25 D. m. Under the new schedule this train will arrive in Montgomery at 6:43 p. m. forty-two minutes earlier than at present, and leave at S:05 p. m. for Mo- biIe. instead of -s:i5 p. m, as at pres ert, making passengers for Mobile and New orleans lay over in Montgomery one hour and twenty minutes under the new schedule instead of forty min utes, as is the case at present.
 The Coast Line has a ,traiR leaving Montgomery for Jaeksonvill@ at 7:45 D. m. twenty minutes after the ar- rival. of the Louisville and Nashville train No. g.. The L. and N. train No 8 brings a Pullman from Chicago. to Jacksonville. which 1t turns over to the, Coast Line at Montgomery. Un- der the new schedule that Pullman ar irving on train No. would have to lay over from 6:43 to 7:45. and while 1t has not been decided. 1t is probable that the Coast Line train No. 5S will leave about 2 D. m. These changes will take effect on December 2l.

 Shooting Ducks.
 Decatur. Dec. 4.-(Special. )-Frank reiman. employed in one of the indus trial plants of Decatur, died in a skin on the Tennessee River here last night.
 Teiman and Dock" Robinson. an- other white man, were shooting ducks on the river in the early part of the night. They were in a skin and car ried lantern with them. Robinson says that Teiman acted strangely and came near falling over in the boat sev- eral times. They landed the boat on the Decatur side of the river and just as Teiman landed fell over in the boat and remained quiet.
 A physician was sent for. but when he arrived he found Teiman dead. He did not examine Teiman when he found him dead. and therefore could not say what caused his death. Heart trouble. however, is said to have been the cause of death.

than one farmer in twenty that knows
the amount of butter fat each COW in

MONEY IN COTTAGE GARDENS
Boys and Girls Can Make Big Profits
on Small Lots by Work and
Planning.

When was learning my trade In tho
country we used to send scores OF
nosegays to market priced from ia
10 cents. We could not supply them
fast enough, and If people cared ia
grow common sweet flowers or pot
plants and sell them outside railway
station, for instance. they could do well
with them now.
Make your own leaf mold. When
sod is removed from the ground for
that adheres to it for future USE or
slice off the fine roots with sharp
knife just below the crown of the
grass.
This Is known as fibrous loan and
in combination with leaf mold, old ma
nure and fine, sharp sand makes the
very finest potting soil.
Throw the tops of the sods in heap
in some out of the way corner and
add the rakings of the yard in fall,
winter and spring, all weeds pulled,
all vegetable refuse, potato parings, APP
pie Feelings. corn husks and berry
hulls--anything that is vegetable mat
ter and will decay.
All dishwater and slops that are moi
needed on the garden should be thrown
on the pile, which should be turned
over occasionally during the winter.
BY the following spring you will have
the finest kind of leaf mold.
Not all the pile will have decayed,
but along the edges and underneath 1t
will be found ready for use
Add to it every bit of available veg
etable matter during the year, includ-
ing the annual flowers pulled up after
their season of bloom, the tops of such
root plants as cannas, caladiums, glad
ioli, and you will soon have a supply
quite adequate to the needs of an ordi-
nary garden.
Where there are waterworks the hose
may be turned on frequently to hasten
decomposition.
| If it is impossible to replace all poor
soil in the garden with better, by the
addition of the leaf mold and manure
much may be accomplished in the way
of building. up the old and rendering
| 1t suitable.

whether their parasites can stand our

have done so thus far, and are favored
