Surveyors are at work projecting
lines for the proposed new railroad
extension from the Franklin & Able
Vile road to Youngsville and thence
to Milton. The erection of the sugar
refinery, now well under way and the
planting Of large acreage in cane
all around the town, make the con-
struction of a railroad an absolute
necessity. Cheap and easy transpor-
tation to market is an essential factor
In the development of any industry
and the people of the fourth ward
seem alive to the Importance Of the
measure now in hand.
The crops all over the Cote Gelee
country are simply magnificent. The
corn crop this. year will surpass any
thing ever known in the history of the
parish in yield and quality. The far
mers will try to put their crop on the
market ahead of the Western corn
next fall and thus get good prices. Su-
gar cane is mostly laid by and was
never finer in stand or growth at this
season. The season has been most
favorable and the present showers
and hot sun cause ideal conditions for
the rapid and vigorous development
Of the plant. Mr.. Ellis Hebert from
near town has twenty acres from
which he expects 400 tons, besides
good supply of corn and hay. I'm

earth. These layerej plants may
be taken up next fall or spring.
Desirable trees to get from muir
series would be elm, pin oak, laurel
leaf oak, hardy or western catalpa,
Norway maple, Carolina, poplar
good shrubs would include the
T%artarian o II bush honeysuckle,
mock orange, Japanese ounce, Ii
lac, golden bell, bridal wreath, bar
berry, weigelia, the deutzias and
spireas.
Trees and shrubs are often kill
ed by exposing the roots to sun
and wind before planting. Protect
with wet gunny sacks. All trees
and shrubs, Immediately upon COM
ing from the woods or nursery,
should be unpacked and "heeled
in" by placing in a shallow trench
and covering the roots thoroughly
with moist earth.
Plant trees at the same depth at
which they grew originally. Shrubs
may be set an inch or two deeper
than they grew. In setting, the
loots should be shortened back to
from six to ten inches in length
and allowed to spread out in a
natural position. Loose earth
should first be thrown in and with
the hands forced under the roots
as well as over them pack occas-
ionally by tramping down.
Trees and shrubs will have to be
hoed and watered occasionally dur
ing the first two summers at least.
Trees may be mulched by throw
ing around them a layer OF grass
or leaves four to six inches deep.
Trees should be set about the
front of building and along the
borders of the yard, but never in
such a position as to interfere with
the play grounds. Shrubs should
he set in masses wherever possible
rarely singIy, and never in rows.

ely III every angle of the lul;d!ng.
Corners OF the yard, particularly in
front should be planted to shrubs.
The best place for planting flowers
would be along the shrubbery Dor
ders. They could be much
easily kept there than in formal
beds and with the good back
ground furnished by the shrubbery
would present a more beautiful
picture than ii planted by them
selves.
If a few vines are desired, Vir-
ginia Creeper, bitter-sweet, trum-
pet vine and cross vine may be
found growing wild. Cultivated
vines would include the Japanese
h~oneysuckle and the wisteria.

Planting School Yards, How
and What to Plant.

Gov. Hadley has announced that,
upon proper APPLICATION, the lead
ing nurseries of the state will sup
ply free trees and shrubs to the
schools for Arbor Day planting.
Trees and shrubs are often
brought from the woods by the pu
pills. Good wild things to plant are
elms, oaks, sugar naples, and syca-
more for shade purposes, and ell
der, sumach, wahoo or wild burn
ing bush, bladder nut, dogwood and
Indian currant or buckbush for
shrubs.
II asked to do SO the children
will bring in numerous shrubs from
their homes. They might not be
able to do this the first year, but if
requested to begin this spring and
grow shrubs for this purpose, there
will be an abundance OF material
next spring ana the pupils will then
always have a deep interest in
what they have grown ami plant

shrubs is to bend down a sprout

1t is very hard to please every
body and especially is this the case
when you run a paper and the rac
question comes up. A good
many of our readers are constant
ly making criticisms along this line
and after listening to many we are
going to solve the difficulty to our
own satisfaction and we believe to
the satisfaction of nearly all our
readers. There are several thous-
and Negroes in Saline and a paper
would not be doing its duty that
did not record the important
events trranspiring among them
for the benefit of both white and
eolored. On the other hand many
want to dodge this class of news
and for their benefit az well as
others who are especially interest
ed in it, we are going to print all
the colored Jews under a special
heading. When the churches are
raising thousands of dollars annu-
ally for the education and uplifting
oft he colored race, we see no call
for antagonizing and running il
down and thus undoing the great
work of the churches. To deprive
the coIored man of good reading
matter by filling it with bitterness
would be no credit to our race. II
Objectionable to you overlook the
column and read the many good
things we offer you besides.

T. N. Foster, president of the

7. N. Foster, president of the
Association of Glove Importers
of New York, invites u assistance
in protesting against the increased
tariff on imported gloves, saying
that it is being increased from 30
to $50 per cent. We regret that we
can offer him no consolation even
though not a single glove reaches
us from foreign shores. He shows
in a circular that a glove of equal
quality can be produced in this
country at $3.50 or in France $1.64
ana that the tariff will cause a
monopoly. He would be a good
man to point out the guilty mon
opolists ana have them prosecuted
but to throw our market open to
the French or German-never! If
our fine ladies' get too good to
wear American goods let them
pay the price, and let u work
men thereby get the double bene-
fit-protection and lower taxes.

Several local autoists have be-
come reckless in handling their

that the laws and public safety de-

A Trip to Blackwater Town.
ship.

ShAP'
Six years ago the editor spent
several days in Blackwater town
ship and the reception we received
in our effort to do business for the
paper convinced us that we'd bet
ter stay out of those parts and for
six ears we remembered the les
son well. But during the past two
years new subscribers have been
coming in from there until we
took new hope.
So when we had an invitation to
accompany a friend on a trip to
Hoping (being probably afraid to
go alone) we gladly accepted. Go
ing by way of Herndon, we were
among friends and in familiar ter
ritory until passing Blue Lick.
From Blue Lick we drove south
east to Woodson, but failed to
strike any "bad lands"
as expected as nearly every man
we met was an acquaintance or
willing to become 80 by reading
a good paper.
On the way to Woodson we pass
ed Chas. Gorrell's handsome coun-
try place. Mr.. Gorrell is a great
believer in fine horses and has
quite a string of valuable mes I'M
der training o nhiS farm. See his
advertisement elsewhere in this
paper.
Soon after passing Mr.. Gorrells
met W. B, Taylor, one Of the Re-
publiean's old friends, who had us
again add his name to u list.
z. B. Robinson also handed us a
dollar for renewal. Arriving at
Woodson we "sized up" that city
for the first time, paid u e
spects to the mayor, j. J.. Scott,
and drove on to Hoping. At Kop-
ing ]. B. Wilson subscribed for the
paper and finding a pleasant stop
ing place with c. P. Williams for
the night, we unhitched. Mr..
Williams has no doubt the largest
stock of merchandise in any coun-
try store in Saline and enjoys a
good patronage. He has also a
fine home and the splendid hospi-
tally of Mrs. Williams made us re-
greet having to leave again so soon.
Starting on our return trip we
made a number of stops-Bud Crit
fifth said he'd try the paper. S. H.
Perkins also gave us his name. j.
w. Raines and A. L. Hilton were
also new subscribers.
A stop at Archie Morris ana
Geo. Leaton's found these gentle
men in fine spirits ana hard to part
from. But the many compliments
paid the paper and the hearty well
come, made us promise to return
shortly to canvass the neighbor-
hood thoroughly and we venture
the paper will not miss many
homes in this splendid section.
We were surprised to find so
few Marshall papers in the Hoping
and Ridge Prairie sections and so
many Sedalia papers, showing tht
u Marshall merchants are not
getting a Square deal" when it
comes to advertising bargains.
AS an illustration, when the coun
ty farm election came up for dis
cussion in a group several had
not heard of the election! In good
old Saline!

Coyotes Kill Bow.

Kingman, Kas., April 7.--Raven
GUS coyotes killed George Hotch-
kiss, 10 years old, living ten miles
south of Kingman Tuesday even
ing. When found the hungry VOL
ves had torn his body to pieces
and had eaten a part of the head
and face. David Nichols, of the same
age, who was with the Hotchkiss
boy, managed to get away from
the coyotes. Hotchkiss could not
u fast enough, and he was sur-
rounded and overpowered.
The Nichols boy ran to a house
and telephoned to the ~neighbors,
and men started at once to try to
drive the brutes away. They found
the body of young Hotchkiss in a
pasture where cattle were feeding.
The wolves which had been gnaw
ing at the boys face, broke AMI
ran at the approach OF the posse.
Where the coyotes appeared is
in a thickly settled neighborhood.
The boys had returned from school
and started out to find some cat
tie. They got away from the farm
dwellings, some distance and were
separated when the wolves at
tackled both. BY getting through
a hedge and running the Nichols
boy managed to elude the wolves
and all OF them turned on Hotch-
kiss.
The boy had been dead but a few
minutes when found and the coy
otes had eaten the flesh off his
face while he was alive.
