INTERCHANGE OF GRIM WIT
How General Sherman and Colonel
Watts Exchanged Flowers and
Newspapers at Vicksbure.

An interchange OF grim wit between
General Sherman and Confederate
colonel before the taking of Vicks-
burg. which surrendered July 4, 1863,
IS remembered in detail by one of the
persons present at the interview, Col.
H. r. Brinkerhoff, U. S. A, retired,
and late military treasurer of Porto
Rico. who was at that time a lieu
tenant in an Ohio volunteer regiment
The incident. which he tells as fol-
lows. took place on the Mississippi
river a short distance above Vicks-
burg:
II received permission to accompany
General Sherman to a meeting of the
flags that had been arranged for a
certain hour. Our vessel steamed rap
Idly down the river from Young 8
point, where our boats lay. We few

The vessel soon reached a point al
most opposite the upper shore batteries
and had begun to indulge the hope
that We would be permitted to steam
down far enough to get look at the
city, when suddenly a little cloud Of
white smoke curled up over one of the
rebel batteries and directly afterward
the boom of heavy gun came thun-
dering over the water. We stopped
and a rowboat came out from shore,
bringing our visitors. Colonel Watts,
the Confederate assistant commission
er Of exchange. and an artillery Off
GER.
After some business conversation
concerning the exchange of prisoners
the entire party entered into general
conversation. Colonel Watts and Gen.
eral Sherman discussed the probable
results of the war The discussion
became heated and Colonel Watts
changed the subject by opening a
package that he had brought with him
and exposing to view a magnificent
bouquet of flowers.
"'There!' he exclaimed. General
Pemberton told me to give you these
flowers with his kind regards
General Sherman hastened to take
the bouquet and at once made an i'm
mense ado over 1t and held it in his
hand until the visitors had taken their
departure. In return. a package OF

to the police admitted that he muir
dered Bessie Kent Webster, his sec

stripped c: clothing, with her throat
cut, was found in the woods near
Dixon, III. The police say the motive
for the crime was Webster's desire to
hide from his first wife, Zoe Varney

that he was bigamist. He had mar

DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING BUTTONHOLES

Cd Cutting.-A buttonhole should
be cut little longer than the diane
ter of the button and should be care
fully measured and marked before cut
ting. 1t is very necessary to cut the
goods by a thread, otherwise it is inn
possible to make neat, even button
hole. Use single thread, number so,
ordinary machine thread. Buttonholes
should be cut parallel with edges in
box plat and across in hem, as in
back of waist.
(2) oVercasting.-Place slit across
the cushion of left forefnger and over
cast raw edges, taking up two or
three threads of cloth. After over
casting sides. bring needle out at
starting point.
(3) RuttonhoIe stitch.-Draw the
needle halfway through at the left
side, taking up about four threads of
the cloth. With the needle pointing
toward yor. take the two threads from
eye of the needle and bring them to-
ward you at the right of the needle,
then under the point of the needle and
forefnger Draw needle and thread
out at right angles to the opening and
so that the twist or purl comes on
edge of slit and draw thread together.
In making the purl the thread will
form in the figure eight. Continue in
this manner, leaving the width of
thread between each stitch, and make
stitches even. Group three or four
stitches, fan-shaped, around outer end
of buttonhole where chief wear comes.
(4) FinishIng.-When the button
hole has been worked all around, the
end may be completed with bar
made by taking two or three stitches
across the end OF the buttonhole. This
bar is then covered with buttonhole
stitches worked close together, purl
toward hole, and caught through into
the cloth. The thread is then securely
fastened on wrong side.
In making buttonholes in box plait
of shirt waist, both ends should be fin
ished the same, either rounded or

The Simple Life,

Variety spices life; the plain is monot-

There was an old couple in the vii

We'll, t misses and me, we've been

Since it has become quite generally
known that practically all soils To-
Gated in the eastern half of Ohio are
in need of lime, questions concerning
the kinds of lime to use and the time,
amount and manner of application
have taken on considerable importance
to the farmer.
When buying lime, either the lump
burnt lime or the ground limestone
should be purchased. The choice be-
tween these depends upon the price
of each delivered at your station, al
ways remembering that it requires
about two tons of the ground stone
to equal in acid correcting power one
ton of the burnt or quick" lime. The
"quick" lime will be more rapid in
The Greenville journal. [volume] (Greenville, Ohio) 1850-1918, 1911-10-05

its effects, but the total, final effects
will be the same in both cases.
Unless the farmer possesses a lime
drill, the ground limestone will be
found the most convenient to apply.
BY placing little straw in the bottom
Of manure spreader and then placing
the lime on top of this, the manure
spreader can be used very well for
spreading the lime over the field. A
little experimenting will be necessary
to regulate the amount delivered. In
the absence of lime drill or spreader,
the lump lime is sometimes placed in
piles of from 35 to 40 pounds each at
suitable intervals (heaps of this size
20 feet apart in each direction equal
about two tons per acre), and then
cover the piles with moist earth. In
a few days the lime will be so thor
oughly Stacked that it can be spread
directly with a shovel. Whenever
Stacked lime is used, it is important
that it be thoroughly narrowed in i'm
mediately after being spread on the
ground.
Lime can probably be best applied
to the corn land in the spring after
blowing and thoroughly narrowed in.
If spread before plowing, the lime will
be placed too deep in the ground for
best results.
The amounts to be used will, of
course, vary with the local conditions,
but one ton per acre of lump burnt
lime or two tons of the ground stone
may be considered fair application.
The use of lime has in most in
stances brought about remarkable re-
suits with the hay crop, but its use
should not be substituted for good
farming and good fertility methods.

proves too short, put the needle

Ordinary buttons should never be
