7nAAhhi Enthusiastic Meeting.

The first woman suffrage cam
paign ever held in Dresden was on
last Wednesday night, when the
FFKuzy theatre was filled to over.
flowing, both the main floor and
the gallery.
While wOman's suffrage is some
thing new in Dresden, woman's
suffrage" is an old and ancient
institution. In building the pyra-
mids the Israelitish women slaves
did a big portion Of the work.
Woman has always borne the
brunt of the burden without any
say as to how heavy the burden
might be. All through the ages
woman has been q sufferer with
out the right Of suffrage. But the
twentieth century woman is as
serting herself, and the magnif-
cent addresses delivered here on
Wednesday evening shows that
they propose waging a relentless
campaign until their rights are
fully recognized.
The Kozy was beautifully deco
rated and every seat in the audi
forum was occupied. Rev. W.
D. Pickens opened the exercises
with prayer, followed with an
address Of welcome by Mayor
Suddath. Mr.. Garrett introduced
Mrs. Donaldson, who made the
position OF the suffragette clear to
those who did not understand.
Mr.. Elkins introduced Mrs. Kim.
brough, another able orator for
the cause Of woman's rights.
Miss Mary Light was introduced
by Mr.. Garrett.
Perhaps the address OF the even
ing that most concerned our people
was that of Mrs. Jas. B. Ezzell;
daughter Of the late Capt. John w.
Moran. Mr.. Suddath presented
Mrs. Ezzell to the audience.
Her address was artistically de-
livered and was an able, logical
presentation Of the platform adj
vocated by her. Bro. Mayo pro-
nounced the benediction.
The meeting here was indeed
fruitful. Our betterhali came
home a full.Aedged sufrgette,
and we were ordered to do things
heretofore asked to do,
All honor to the womenl

No tillage operation Of the garden
10 more important than hoeing, and
none Ia so badly done. Plow under
and disc In abundant manure; make
thorough preparation with plow and
disc, vita sDiketooth harrow and
Dlanker, or IN small gardens WITH
sDading fork and rake: use the best. Of
seed and plant 1t the yigAt time, It the
right depth, and CaItivate regularly
and well. All these preparations will
not take the place Of good hoelng.
Keep the hoe sharp. Begin using It
as soon as the little HIaAts show shove
the ground. Hoe very close to the
plants, cutting the soil an inch deep
or so with slanting cuts very close to-
gether. Then smooth the surface with
the back Of the hoe, making 1t dust
fine. Do not hoe after rain until
the soil will crumble, but do not wait
until it is dry. Hoe often. Hosing
lets air into the soil, and air is as
necessary as moisture for vigorous
root growth. Fine hoeing makes Of
the surface a mulch that checks the
escape of moisture while admitting the
air Do not hoe deep-two inches is
the greatest depth admissible, and one
inch, or less, is usually best, Do not
cut the soil in big chunks, which will
dry into hard Jumps; such work is
an utter loss of effort. Do not wait
until after the weeds are few inches
high before beginning to hoe the gar
den-hoe early and often.

Considerable excitement was
occasioned here Sunday afternoon
when a negro boy, said to hail
from Martin, gave a negro girl
a drink Of whiskey which it is
thought contained some kind Of
poision. It is claimed that the boy
asked the girl to take a drink with
him from a bottle, and upon her
refusing to do so he insisted and
pretended to take a drink himself,
but did not remove the stopper
from the bottle. Finally he pre-
vailed upon the dusky damsel to
share his liquid refreshments, pro-
cured, no doubt, OF some Of our
Aourishing negro bootleggers, and
in a little while the girl was in
terrible fix. A physician was
summoned and it was sometime
before she could get relief. This
is one ofthose cases where a sound
thrashing would be advisable.
