ford to do. It is practical because it
has been done on so many farms.

Henderson county shipped its first
car load of Nancy Hall seed sweet po-
tatoes this week. This is better than
to ship into this county seed and
slips. Whenever we become as near
self supporting as possible we shall
then be in a much better condition.
The farmer who gets the above sweet
potatoes will pay 80 cents per bushel
in freight alone. If we then add the
other necessary expenses, can easily
see that the cost to the man who
beds them out will not be small. 1t

"reminiscences.
By W. v. Barry. In Nashville Tennessean March 2S

One of the most amusing recollec-
tons of my youth in the town of Pur-
dy, McNairy county, was the partici-
patton of one Uncle Russell Garfield,
colored, in the debates pulled off in
the negro school house on the East
side of town, the school being con-
Quoted by one Banks, a mulatto from
the North-and Banks was sharp as
a brier, we'll educated and himself
quite a speaker Uncle Russell was
an old-time black negro, bench leg
ged and long-armed and, in his man
ners, of the humblest type-until the
boys shot about four mixed drinks in
him, when he became the personifi-
cation of brass, gall and impudence.
1t was the delight of the aforesaid
boys-John Wisdam, Bliss Pool and
Bascom Riggs-to get the drinks into
the system of Uncle Russell and take
him down to the school house to take
part in the debate, and | can say for
Banks that he was ever ready to hui
NOR the fun. One occasion the ques-
ton of the evening was something
like this: Resolved, that money has
more influence than woman over the
mind of man." Banks represented
money and made crackerjack "a
word that had not then been invent
ed) speech and while he was on the
floor the white boys were simply
holding Uncle Russell in lesh, surg
ing at the collar, like a dog anxious
to get into the fray. When they
turned Uncle Russell loose and he be-
gan his speech he said, first in low
voice, mister Banks" and then so
loudly that he could be heard hun
dreds Of yards away, Mister Banks,
when you see a right beautisome wo-
man and wish to indeligate yourself
into her CONNECTIONS, to do that you
would masticate the defines of hell"
This is but sample of the language
Uncle Russell was able to manufac-
ture on each and every occasion. One
night in October, 1870, the J. H. Duke
hotel and store on the West side Of
the public square Of Purdy burned,

three-fourths Of the blooms should
have fallen off. The first blossom
sprays for all fruits should be self
boiled lime sulphur or dilute lime
sulphur. Add to this from 2 to
pounds of arsenate of lead. The Sec
ond spray should consist Of lime sui

ing is attempted dilute lime sulphur
is applied on the trees just before the
buds open. However on most Hender-

What did it cost you to use a scrub
bull this year? What did it cost your
community? what did it cost this
county? So long as we produced
scrub hogs we know that we did not
make money from them. How much
longer shall we continue to grow
scrub cattle? Where is a community
that will declare that they will have
no scrub cattle on it? That is when
we shall see the scrubs go. We pass
no laws for this purpose; they would
get us nowhere. Public opinion will
however raise the standard of our
cattle to the point where they will
prove something worth while.

you desire. Apply with a spray pump
