Last night at eight o’clock Mrs
Charles H. Colson died at her home in

over a year.
Mrs. Colson was only eighteen years
of age, and was a daughter of Mr. H. C.
Silvey. For several years she had been
a devout member of the East Athens

Is He Sane?
The 1?annku wired as once for fuller

Farmer is now under examination as
to his sanity:
Xkw York, March 21.—[Special.]—
James Alexander Farmer, of Jacksoi
county, Ga., who gave himself up al
tin* Leonard Street Station Sun

killed a boy named Ira Drake last May,
was arraigned in the Tombs police

Farmer told Justice Duffy that he

At Heme Ten Days Ago.
1 is a fact that Farmer waa at the

ut ten days ago. He had been trav
ng around all over the country. He
not remain in
ts°n county long but started out
r only to give himself up as told in
reports from New York. Farmer’s
iher said yesterday to a citizen of

Convened Yesterday Morning With
Judge Cobb Presiding.
Yesterday morning the March term
of City Court was called to order by
Judge Howell Cobb. The criminal
locket was taken up, and a number o'
cases disposed of. This morning work
will be begun on the civil docket.
The first case called was that of the
State vs. Milledge Hamptoo, col
charged with selling whiskey. The
jury was out for quite awhile, but late
in the afternoon returned a verdict of
not guilty.
Peter Miles, who was charged with
cruelty to animals, demanded indict
ment by the Grand Jury.
Lucy Jackson plead guilty to the
charge of larceny from the house, and
was fined $10.00 or four months in the
chain gang.
Joe Bone demanded indictment by
Grand Jury. He was charged with
cruelty t» animals.
W. B. McKinney was charged with
cheating and swindling, but the ver
dict was not guilty.
mite. Was it the work of a profession
al ? Such vu the interrogation asked
by every one who heard of the occur
rence.
On Friday night last
Messrs. Cook and Jackson, one of the
leading firms of Bishop, locked their
doors and retired, little suspecting that
they would be opened again before the
dawn of daylight.
But they were opened, and a pick
was the means used of getting them
njar. And that is not all. Late in the
night, an explosion was heard in the
quiet little village. But this received
little or no attention, as it was thought
to be the crack of a pistol.
Saturday morning, however, Messrs.
Cook and Jackson were as
tonished to find not only
the doors of their store epen, but also,
the large iron safe in their store was
open.
The safe was blown open with dyna
mite, is an evident fact, as several
holes made by a drill in the hands of a
skilled hand are to be seen. The ex
plosion heard the night before was ea
sily accounted for.
Fortunately, Messrs. Cook & Jackson
had on Friday afternoon, taken their
money from the safe, and expressed it
to another point, This amounted to
ibout $240.00.
The butglar was after money, and
none of the goods in the store were mo
lested. From the safe, ii j succeeded in
getting $15.00 or $20.00. In effecting

A suspicious looking man was no-

which time he has not been seen. His
tame is unknown, but as he comes uli
ter the ban of suspicion, a look-out
he kept for him.
DRUNK NO MORE,
How an Athenian Stopped off Drink'
Ing.
Every day the lives of men change,
and sometimes very little circumstances
effect those changes.
So it is in the life of a citizen of Ath
ens. The change came a few weeks
since.
This citizen had been an habitual
drinker, had drank up most all the
money he earned and the liquor habit
had firmly settled upon him. He had a
friend \\ ho was in the same fit as to
liquor. lie loved his toddy.
Ills friend’s family grew 6ick, the
wife and children were stretched upon
beds of sickness, and the death angel
was hovering near. Under such cir
cumstances the husband and father
came borne drunk, and instead of be
ing kind and affectionate, was very un
kind and wished they were out of his
way. His wish was partially granted.
This citizen happened to see all this,
The spark of manhood in his bosom had
flamed up into a bright blaze. He was
a man again.
He will be drunk no more.

Mysterious are the ways of God. We
:e but dimly througheaithly mists aud
ladows, iiLd often, as we look out of
the madness called life, it is bard to re
alize that afeer the despair, the burial
uymu, the prayer, and the coffin’s clod
there is somewhere up yonder near the
great white throne, in the radiant zone
of Heaven, the beautiful rest of God.
Moved by a sense of the great sorrow
that has visited the superintendent of
our school in the death of his beloved
daughter, Jinnie, we, the teachers and
pupils of the Winterville Methodist
Sunday School, desire to tender him
the only consolation in mortal power,
our sympathy and love, and to record
this tribute to the memory of ouryouug
friend.
On a bright and radiant Sabbath noon,
when the sky seemed all beauty and the
world all bliss, this guileless maiden,
who stood where the trook and river
meet, on the borderland of childhood
and womanhood, went onward inio the
perfect life, leaving a memory that must
ever be an inspiration and a joy, aud
aow her sainted spirit is chanting
praises with those who have washed
Jieir robes and made them white in the
blood of the Lamb.
A devoted daughter, an affectionate
sister and true friend, has passtd from
earth to heaven, and a newly mad
grave has opened to receive all that
remains of one of earth’d precious treas
ures. Friends, old and young, gathered
around the casket and grave with of
ferings of flowers as a last token of love
for her, whose gentle life beginning in
a home very dear to her, reached out
in ever widening circles to all the world
She was so kind and sympathetic in her
nature, so courteous from early train
ing, so bright and courageous in her
home, social and school relations, that
it was a sweet privilege to be stimula
ted and enlivened by her attentive look
and attractive manner. Alt graces
found their perfection in her, r.ni no
one who knew the gracious gentleness
and sweet Christian symmetry of her
character can ever forg. t her.
She has gone front earth to heaven
but the influence of her beautiful life
remains with us, and while we shall
miss the unfailing love, the un-;eifbh
levotion of one so fondly loved in life
so deeply regretted in death, still we
would not reo&ll her to this vale of
tears, this borderland of sorrow.
Not alone in the desolate home is she
missed 1 In our school where sue loved
to come, her memory will ever be off* c-
tionately cherished, and day by day we
shall think of what she is doing in those
bright realms above. Thus we can
still walk with her and keep unbroken
the bonds of love, though the swelling
heart will often heave like the moaning
ocean that cannet be at rest.
She is not dead but gone to that
school where Christ himself doth rule.
To her bereaved pareants we tender
our heartfelt sympathy. Suddenly
striken their hearts were not prepared
for the blow. It was indeed a bitter
cup pressed to their lips by a loving
Father, and our prayer arises that He
will comfort those in whose hearts ’
left this aching void.
The precious memory of
her loyal life and
the sure and blessed hope that she now
rests with Christ, will shed a halo of
glorious light around the sad drapery of
the tomb.
They mourn thee, thou ostbut glori
fled one; dark is the shadow in their
home; thick the gloom that environs it
cold the chill on their loving hearts!
*‘Oh Thou who looked pityirglydown

A PLANT PROTECTOR.
A Cheap Contrivance Useful In Raising
Early Melons aud Vegetables.
A useful contrivance worthy of hrisg
extensively used is a plant protector for
early melons, encumbers, squash, toma
toes, beans, etc. It is made of wire, is
cheap, convenient and durable. It con
sists of No. 8 wire hoop about 15 inches
in diameter and three pieces bent nearly
in shape of a half circle and looped at
the two ends around the hoop, crossing
each other at the top. They are secured
where they cross by being tied by a
piece of small annealed wire. This wire
framework should be conical and slight
ly tapering from the bottom to top, so
that they will
nest into each
other when put
ting away. The
wire framework
can be covered
with old newspa
pers, or strainer
or cheese cloth wire frame for plant
costing three or protector.
four cents per yard. When put on, a
little soil on the edges in several places
will prevent the wind from blowing
it off.
The strainer cloth covers might be
sewed fast to the framework, but mice
and rats are apt to make nests among
them when stored away, so it is rather
better to keep the cloth or paper separate.
These protectors can be made of several
sizes. For tomato plants they might be a
few inches taller than for melons. Wire
is so uinch cheaper than a few years ago
that these plant protectors can now be
furnished in quantity at abont $2.50 per
100, including the wire, or can be made
to order by tinners or wireworkers in
small lots at |3 per 100. Gardeners and
truck growers can sometimes save the
cost of these protectors three times over
in one season. Competition now makes
earliness the great object, and some
cheap artificial protection from frost,
bugs and cold winds is indispensable,

Beekeeping In a Small Way.
Why should not every farmer have a
few colonies to gather the honey and
fertilize the bloom of his orchards? There
is nothing in the way of every intel
ligent man or woman living in the
country doing this. The necessary in
struction for beginners is cheap and
available. Like a modern hardware
store, supply dealers have every fixture
of hives and their appliances ready for
service that a novice may begin at once.
Transferring, introducing of queens, di
viding of colonies, extracting of honey,
handling and marketing the same, can
all be learned in a short time. In fact,
the art is fast becoming a science. The
introducing of queens, that was for a
long time considered a hazardous expert
ment, is now performed with but little
risk. Cages are now so constructed that
all that is necessary to do with the
queen and her convoy when they are re
ceived in such a cage, is just to take out
the cork stopping the entrance and put
ting the cage between the combs, or
simply laying it on top. Of coarse the
old queen has to be previously removed.
Sugar paste having been put in the cage,
stopping the hole from which the cork
has been removed, it requires some time
before the queen imprisoned is liberated,
and during this time the bees and she
become acquainted, and having liber
ated her themselves without any excite
ment, she is generally well received.
Spring is the best season in which to
begin, says the Philadelphia Farm Jour
nal. Get one or two colonies to start
with. If you can get them in movable
comb hives so much the better. If these
aro not available take good colonies in
box hives, and have them transferred in
May into whatever kind of hive you may
select. Remember there are no patents
on hives that amount to anything now.
Do not believe any venders of patent
hives. They are frands. Langstroth,
the American chaff hives, single and
double stories, the Simplicity and many
others, are all reliable and free from
patents.*
Smut In Oats and Wheat.
Bulletin 22 of the Kansas experiment
station gives the result of experiments to
prevent smut in oats and wheat. The
amount of smut in oats in 1891 in the
fields about Manhattan was abont 5%
per cent., as shown by actual count.
Potassium sulphide was as effectual in
preventing oat srnnt as the hot water
treatment previously recommended. It
can be used at the rate of one pound in
twenty gallons of water, the seed to re
main in the solution twenty-four hours,
or use abont twice the amount and re
move the seed at the end of ten or twelve
hours. Treatment of the seed with hot
water or with potassium 'sulphide both
prevents the smut and increases the
yield. The loose smut of wheat was con
siderable in 1891 on some of the plots on
the college farm. Fifty-four trials with
various fungicides did not furnish de
cisive evidence favorable in any case.
Spraying spring wheat, barley and
oats with flowers of sulphur, potassium
sulphide, chloride of iron and Bordeaux
mixture, singly, at intervals of abont
eight days, from April 21 to July 2, had
apparently IHtle if any effect in pre
venting red and black rust. Spraying
com plants with Bordeaux mixture,
chloride of ucon or potassium sulphide
did not prevent the development of com
smut.
Cold Frames.
Cold frames have much the same form
of construction as hotbeds. In the cold
frame the finely pulverized soil is warm
ed from the heat of the son received
through the glass covering, which also
excludes the cold night air from the
germinating seeds or tender young
plants. In the hotbed the heat is mainly
derived from the fermenting manure in
the bottom. This, with the solar heat
added, is very forcing, and it requires
daily attention and frequent waterings
to get the best results from a hotbed,
in the south the cold frame will usually
meet all the requirements for early
forcing. Cold frames are frequently
covered with coarse cotton cloth instead
of the more expensive method of sash
Mid glass.

Orchard Grass with Clover.
At one of the Ohio farmer’s institutes
a fanner said: “I recommend that more
attention be given to the production of
orchard grass. When I sow clover I al
ways sow orchard grass with it. It pays
well and clover will do for pasture for
horses, cattle and swine. The orchard
grass is a very valuable adjunct in a
clover field. If yon intend cutting the
clover for hay, the orchard grass is still
strong, and will stand a great deal of
clover. It helps the clover, and I can
make a bettor quality of hay.
I don’t think, as a role, that fanners
generally sow a large variety of grasses.
We can have a great number and va
riety of grasses growing, have more
pasture, keep the ground all occupied
and give a variety of feed. I have timo
thy land and bine grass land. The proper
time to sow orchard grass is when the
weather gets warm in the spring. I can
get a better stand along in April to the
middle of May. If sown alone nse two
bushels of seed to the acre. When I sow
clover I use about half a bushel."
Here and There.

The money employed in the dairies of
New York state, according to a recent
