Buying Fruit Trees.

This is the season of the year
when the festive fruit tree agent
is abroad in the land with his
establishments. :.
If YOU are going to buy fruit
trees, get them from the home
nurseryman.
Fruit trees grown here in Miss
issippi are acclimated, and there
fore more likely to flourish when
transplanted.
For several years Mississippi
has been the dumping ground fol
all sorts of diseased nursery stock
shipped in from other states.
When you buy from the home
nurseryman there is but LITTLE
danger of getting trees infested
with San Jose scale, or other par
asites.
There are several first class nur
serymen in the state who are do
ing everything possible to improv
the homegrown stock, and the,
deserve to be encouraged. Jack

GETTING BACK AT KANSAS.

Everyone has read William Allen Whites
42-centimeter editorial shot at Nebraska. in
spired by the New York Times error in as
signing Nebraska inetead of Kansas as the
native state of General Fred FnnStOs. Now
comes Harvey NeWbranch, editor OF Senator
Hitchcock's Omaha Word-Herald, with the
following whitening fire of literary shrapnel:
''NebraSka raises corn and alfalfa and
wheat and pork and beef and Kansas raises
hell. Nebraska piles up wealth and Kansas
piles up sand dunes. Nebraska is so right
eous that she can trust herself to freedom,
and Kansas SO wicked that she must restrain
herself in gives and chains---then cries out,
See how good amy Kansas tries all things
ana Nebraska picks up those that are good
and holds onto them. Kansas keeps the rest.
Nebraska is phlosophic and happy, Kansas
fretful, impatient insomnia Kansas vainly
Seeks surcease in fads and follies and CHI
meras, Nebraska finds it in the simple virtues
our mothers taught, reinforced by all the
good things that a rational use of honesty
acquired wealth can procure. Nebraska is
courteous and unObtruSive, Kansas Shrek
ing self-adve. tiser, boasting even OF her bllZ-
yards and hot winds as colder and hotter and
more destructive than can be found any
where else ON earth. Nebraska outranks
KanSa, in all the eXcelenceS and blessings
and Kansas OutrankS Nebraska IN her ability
as ballyhoo artist.
eff this man White really thinks we are
"a milk-eyed placid. bluestockinged Old maid
who never had throb ot emotion let him
come up and try US. Let him sneak around
Lincoln, which is Kansas burg transplanted
by Kansas breeze and not Nebraska town
at all and make his way straight to Omaha
Let him come with his hair in braid and
glad, mad light in his eye. He may go home
tagged and dazed and bent and broke, but at
the least he can say, / have lived!' And he
will have the rest of his life to devote to re-
cupel ating- and remembering. He will have
been to CarcaSOnne.' -

A Compromise Made in Sew
erage Suits.

In Guilford Superior Court there
has just been concluded several
cases brought by parties living near
High Point against the city. The
plaintiffs were endeavoring to re-
cover DAMAGES for the emptying of
q sewer in a stream. The cases were
,conciad"d by compromise. The to-
tai amount sued for is said to have
been around $4,000 and the COM
promise was for around $4,000.
1t is stated That the defendant
has 50 changed its sewerage plant
that none of the said sewerage is
discharged into the stream referred
to in the complaint or into any
streams that flow through or into
the lands of the plaintiff, and is not
claiming the right to discharge the
sewerage into any of said streams. y
By the compromise the amounts
are distributed as follows:
Y. o. Cecil, S778; C. O. Craver,
$311; H. O. Perryman. $544 SO; w.
