A Laughable Experience. Some days ago a citizen of Taliaferro county had ;v laughable experience, lie has a large watermelon patch, and on a certain occasion lie became convinced that some one had been borrowing melons from him: So when darkness stumbled and fell he equiped a battery, and hied him to the spot where the process of hypnotizing and kidnaping watermelons had been going on. He bid himself,and are long lie thought lie saw a man in his watermelon patch. Whereupon he arose from his place in g re at wrath to expel the $ 1 . 7 o-per-gaL Ion whiskey that lie had been drinking had caused a deep sleep to fall on him. and he realized that lie had been dreaming. IX MEMORY. As the morning of the 19tli of July began to dawn and the day light began to break forth in the distance, Cud’s angel came and knocked at the door of Mr. and Mrs. O. M. Saggus and claimed little Maud Elizabeth, their youngest daughter, aged 4 years 10 months and 24 days. Little Lizzie was always bright aud merry, She wtis fond of play. She leaves two sisterf. four tfrotliers, a father and mother, and many other relatives to mourn her loss. We know that our loss is her eterual gain; therefore we bow in humble submission to the will of Him who douth all things well, knowing that all things work together for good to them that loye the Lord. May Ilis Spirit comfort and uphold the bereaved and keep them ever in that straight and narrow path, aud may they say as did David, “though she cannot come back to us, yet we can go to her,” lot we know that she has gone to sleep iu Jesus. Therefore we would say: Slecp on dear one, sleep on, Thy days on earth were iew; um, thou art gone to heavenly lands To spend eternity. Thy- little feet will no more walk ' AmoDg ijf e > 8 trials here, pj u t they will walk the golden streets, In that eterual land, Thy little voice, so sweet, so dear, Will no more here be heard, But it has joined the heavenly band. In that eterual home. Sleep on dear one, sleep on, Safe in the Savior’s arms, There with the angel band to sing His praise forever more. We miss thee little Lizzie, And for thee tears have flowed, And yet for thee we will not mourn, For thou art safe at home. We would not call thee back To this old world of woe, For thou art safe in heaven above, Where sorrows are no more. We hope to meet thee, dear one, In that bright world above, And there to see our Savior. In that bright world of love. q-hcu bloom as the here', daisy, And , eft thy fra?ranc€ Inviting us to heaven, The place to us most dear. ^ en Lire thee well dear one, ^ « *re coming after a while Wc ‘ n roeCt thee ° n lhe ° ther sh ° rC ’ FVhcre partings are no more.

The livery stables ad job tig were also destroyed, and the lit¬ tle wooden store of Mr. 1. W. Shields's caught, bill was saved by the heroic efforts of the fire company. The store of Mr. Lee was adjoining the large double brick stores of J. i\ Shields, but the. lire company by hard work cut the tiro off and held it there.

The above quotations explain tho matter. Tho cheat are seed are in the ground where you sow wheat or oat.;. Should the wheat or oats grow, though tho cheat comes up and makes seed, it is so small as to pass unnotice 1 , boing smothered as it were by the growing grain. Should the wheat or oats, how ever, bo winter killed or grazed by cat tie too late in the spring, then tho cheat which is up and ready to grow off, takes possession of the ground, smoth ers out what little grain may bo loft, grows 2 to 3 feat high, and the careless observer comes to the con elusion that his wheat or oats Ji m been changed to cheat, a plant of an entirely different genus. Tho process for getting rid of this grass or wend is si tuple, namely: Sow none but perfectly clean se al and also rotate tho crops and it will gradually disappear from tho land.

J am. interested in stock raising, but have little experi¬ ence in tlta management of ensilage, which is jjr.it said bj- those who have tried it to l«, class dairy stock food. Answer 14. Ensilage has already passed its experimental stage, and has been coopted and adopted by many dairymen and farmers, says an ex change “It provides succulent, food— a great necessity, especially for dairy stock—during the long winter, cheaper than can bo provided in any other way. It is also of great importance in tho full, as one of tho laws to successful feeding is not to make sudden changes front green, smveulont feed to dry fond when cattle are taken from pastures. “Ensilage bears the same relatiou to dry fodder that canned fruit does to the dried. Is it any wonder that cows pre¬ fer tho succulent article, or that the latter is the better substitute for juicy food aud will product) more milk tliau unequal amount of dried cornstalks? Any ono who has tried it knows tho difficulty of keeping up tho flowof milk on ary food. Good care, with early cut, well cured hay and corn fodder, and a liberal grain ration will do a good rtcal> bnt !W tho willtur advaDCes tho cows will suroly, though slowly, shrink in their flow, while they lay on floth instead. Tho uso of roots will prevent. this shrinkage of the milk flow, but the cost of raising such food for stock is too great. Wo must either go ou in the old way, drying off our cows in tho most important season, orelsewemust make ensilage. "The only bar to the universal use of succulent food is prejudice The odor from ensilage has caused many to de claro that it tainted the milk, thereby affecting the flavor of tho batter. So widespread , is . this . be.ief , , that .. . many of , tho large milk deal ers s till wtipulato in thoir contracts with tins farmers that no ensilage shall bo fed. This idea doubtless arose from the fact that when oathm «» «« introduced. a^o, ignorance of the proper method of huMinf , and fliliaff 6 Uoe caused the pro duotiou of damaged, rotten ensilage, The prejudice still lingers, though the spread of knowledge has removed the cause. •• j-j ia t ensilage is a good, healthful food is shown by the fact that cows will eat it eagerly and thrive upon it. It is „ ot itself a complete ration. It should be fed sprinkled with meal and bran. This makes an excellent meal. At other times hay should bo fed, or oats, barley, peas, etc. While ensilage should fio the base, it is desirable to feed a • variety, giving tho cow the ohange she so much enjoys. Ensilage is the cheapest and healthiest food for a uu it has come to stay.” » : FEMALE : LAGRANGE, GA. COLLEGE Opens Sept. 18 , 1895 . Brick buUdtafs, clcctne i yhts water-works, haths, Oymniiium.
