Snger Not. Hager

According to "North's History of
Augusta" the Reporter should have
given the name as Joseph j. Sager
and not Hager in connection with the
story Of the Spirtualist Temple in
Augusta. 1t also appears that Sager
was convicted Of the murder of his
wife and not the murder of a man
named Coolidge. Apparently the
two tragedies became confused. Mrs.
NJ e. Fuller of Augusta says in part:
Joseph ]. Sager mot "Sagar') of
Gardiner, was hung January 2, 1885,
for the supposed murder of his wife
by poisoning and my mother. who
was born in 1914, and noted for her
remarkable memory. was present, and
heard every word of the trial. and also
witnessed the execution. This, she
did not mean to see, but lived near
and unconsciously looked out the
window at the very instant that the
drop fell. She never told me of but
one hanging, as I am sure she must
have. if it had occurred. She and
many others who heard the trial be-
lieved in the mans innocence. The
wife was of a most jealous and quar-
relsome disposition, terror" to live
with, as was testified to. was very
much older than her husband. and my
mother with many at the trial believ-
ed that she had got tired of life and
took this way out-that is suicide
and to still vent her spite upon her
husband meaning to have him pay
the penalty that he did. The main
witness in the case was a girl who
lived with them. named Ann Raffer-
ty and who testified that as soon as
the woman began to be i'll she cried
out "Sager has poisoned me-Sager
has poisoned me-" The poison was
found, but as many believed. put in
the fatal cup by herself.
CI remember family, some account
from my mother also. of a murder
connected with Coolidge" but how
it ever got mixed with the Sager
tragedy, ! cannot conceiye).
at seems to me that in. justice at
least to "North's History what am
writing should be published"

Novelty or Cnri0sityY
296 Iglehart Ave,
st. Paul, MINI.

Last Friday Mrs. Abel Written had
one pumpkin left so she thought
best to make use of it fearing 1t
might decay if kept a longer time and
when she opened the pumpkin to pre-
pare it for cooking she found the
seeds had sprouted and the vines had
commenced to run as we term 1t. The
sprouts had grown to about eight
inches in length, then the vines and
had drawn the pulp from the sides of
the pumpkin into round ball, right
in the center of the space about as
large as a teacup. This ball was
held together firmly by these little
vines. Mrs Written wishes now she
had kept the pumpkin awhile longer
as 1t was perfectly sound. 1t was
truly curious sight. that ball of
pumpkin seeds and pulp drawn to-
gether firmly, laced and interlaced, a
complete net work of little vines.

Fertilizer Can be Mixed More Cheapiy
at Home

In a number of communities the
county Agent has explained the meth
b employed in home mixing of fer
si2ers. the average saving per ton
being around $11. 90. To be true the
! lost is figured on a cash basis, but
Ii they we're bought on delayed pay
Inent plan the cost would be greater
both ways as we'll, so the difference
WOULD approximate the same.
Formulas asked for and figured
Eere 3-10-3 mixture, 1910 mixture
bnd 5-S-7 mixture. The first can be
hxed for S26.49. The second for
F2960 and the third for 1922. On
20 ton carload a saving of 1920
FOald be made. Many fertilizer COM
banies are now putting out fertilizer
with no filler, yet the price still al
|ows for Il substantial saving on home
mixing just the same.
