hill where we found smooth place

A few days ago in chapel lecture,

this one will. II consists Of a study
Of contemporary writers, both the
philosopher and the novelist. Selec-

important are read in class, and
each is thoroughly discussed. Be-
sides acquiring a taste for liter

with the foremost authors of to-

of them as our favorites. Further

Settina Bush Fruits.

The extension specialist In fruit
growing Of the New Jersey agricul-
tural experiment station recommends
that raspberry and blackberry plants
should be set about three feet apart In
the row. Six feet is the minimum dis
tance between rows. and blackcap
raspberries and blackberries will often
do better II the rows are seven feet
apart Such strong growing varieties
OF blackberries as Ewing Wonder or
Black Diamond are easier to cultivate
and handle when set at a minimum Of
four feet apart In the row. Dewber-
ries are usually set with the rows six
feet apart. Currants and gooseberries
should be set four feet apart On the
row. with six feet between rows.
Early planting Of bush fruits Is very
important. II the buds and shoots are
broken or after starting the second lot

plants therefore do not get good

Mrs. Charley Coulter.

After two months of intense suffer-
ing. death came to the relief Of Mrs.
Charley Coulter, Friday morning at
three A. NJ.
Mrs. Coulter was horribly burned
while sitting with her back to the fire,
a shark ignIting her clothing. and en-
veloping her in flames before she knew
it. All that the best medical skill and
careful nursing could do was of no avail.
Mrs. Coulter who was Miss Peachie
Sherrow before her marriage. was in
her 49th year. and is survived by her
husband and eleven children, three of
whom are married. and five brothers
and one sister.
Mrs. Coulter was woman Of many
excellent qualities who will be sadly
missed not only by her own immediate
family but by friends and neighbors as
well. No night was too dark or any
home too lowly for her to minister to,
to those who were sick or in distress.
and her home was always open to those
who were in need. Tbs esteem in
which she was held was evidenced by
the large number Of friends and rela-
tives assembled at the funeral services
which were conducted at Mt Ohvet
church by her pastor. r. M. Lee, as
sisted by Rev. Regan of the M. Z.
church at Nicholasville. Interment in
Mt Olivet cemetery.

The time to plant corn varies with

the season Is shortened as result OF
the greater elevation.
Under average conditions there is n
period Of about three weeks during

ham Early maturing varieties may DO
