New Kind of Strawberries.

4. J.. Amber received $50 plants of
a NV kind of strawberries the first of
the week. The plants are very similar
to the ordinary strawberry in appear
ance but have many advantages over
the common variety. The plants bear
continually from the early summer to
frost, having on them at the same cme
bloom, young green berries and the ri
pened fruit. The plants that Mr.. Am
bier received showed all stages of the
berries from bloom to the ripened ber-
ry. He expects to give the new varie.
ty trial on his ranch north Of town
and is confident that he will meet with
success. He informs US that the vari-
ETY. has been on trial in Iowa, where he
obtained the plants. for three years
and that he has been interested in the
reports of their growing for some time
but has been unable to get any Of the
plants up to this time because of their
scarcity.
The plants must be reset under tent
until they have taken firm root when
they require practically the same care
as the ordinary strawberry. II the
new plant will do what is claimed for it
and there seems to be little doubt but
that it will, the farmer who grows the
berries can have this luscious fruit
throughout the entire summer instead
Of for few weeks only, and II he has
surplus he can find ready market
for all he can supply, -Wray Rather.

Highline Improvement.

The Burlington is ballasting the high
line between haywood and 'WellAeet,
Neb. The work on this has made bus
innss on the highline look pretty lively
during the past week. The laying Of
heavier iron and the ballasting Of the
road bed are certainly encouraging
signs for the highline. 1t begins to
look as though the Burlington were
preparing to do heavier business over
this line than has been done. The Wy.
oming connection Of their line to the
coast is about completed and the indi-
cations are that they are preparing to
send some Of their through freight over
the highline.

TAKES HIS OWN LIFE.
Mr. Robert 4. Welch, a Respected Cit
izen OF Newberry, Literally Shoots
Ton OF His Head OF With Pistol.

Mr.. Robert A. WEIGH. a citizen OF
Newberry for several years, and be-
fore that a farmer near the city, COM
mitted suicide on Sunday morning by
shooting the top of his head off with a
"A Colts army pistol. The deed was
committed about 10 o'clock, and in an
out house in the yard of the residence
in Calhoun street. The sound of the
pistol was heard by the neighbors and,
though unusual for Sunday morning
in Newberry, caused 40 special alarm
until the prolonged absence OF Mr.
Welch made the members of the fam
ily uneasy. Mr.. L. NJ. Graham, who
lived near by went into the back yard
and found Mr.. Welch in an outhouse,
and dead. Mr.. T. P. Johnson, another
neighbor. was called, and Messrs. J.
A. Burton and ]. B. Mayes, who were
on their way to church, stopped IN
and rendered what assistance they
could. Death was Instantaneous.
The ball passed through the centre OF
the foreh2ld. The pistol was found
underneath the body.
Mr.. Welch had been in bad health
for a long time, and it is thought that
continued i'll health and dependency
caused a temporary unbalanceing OF
the mind, and in that state of mind the
deed was committed.
Mr.. Welch is survived by three
daughters who lived with him, and two
brothers. DR.. S. G. Welch and Mr.. A.
c. Welch, and two sisters Mrs. E. S.
Coppock and Mrs. Sibbie Wilbur, ali
of whom live in Newberry. He has
many friends who are grieved, togeth-
er with the members of his immdiate
family, at his fearful taking off.
The funeral and burial were held On
Monday afternoon, the funeral from
the residence. and interment at Rose
mont. The following acted as pail
bearers: L. W. Floyd, S. B. Aull, T. K.
Johnstone. H. H. Abrams, Jno NJ. Kin
