It was probably the firet jyditical meeting held in Lancae- ' tor since Tillman's advent into ' Yr-iblic life that some one or more 1 . 1 of the speakers did not "swing an to his coat tails" or "cuss him out."

Southern Cultivator. 1 have a crop of Irish potatoes [ wish to save until next spring. Will you please tell me how to liarvest and store them away so they will keep? Also state the indications which make harvest time, and whether the time mentioned will be too late to plant Spanish peanutp. H. B. M. Brantly, Ala. Comment by the Editor : The Irish potato can be kept in any cool, dark, dry place. A cellar is a good place, if it is dry. In case you havn't a cellar, put them under a house, half bedded in sand. The way all of ub should keep our small ones from the first crop is to raise a second crop. You can do this easily by putting them down and covering with >ld sacks and keeping these sacks wet. This will make them sprout) in time to plant for second crop,' ind insure a good stand. Another ?Ot;d disposition of them would! I>e, to orepare a piece of land ''ell covered with manure, open I i furrow at edge and drop in /our potatoes, open another fur-1 nw and drop in more, until you i inish. Then cover this whole dot six or eight inches deep with itraw or tratdi. You will then lave a perpetual potato patch,| nat will not need any work or blunting atrain for years. We uive seen two such patches this ,'prr. They pive you early potaoes ami large ones. You can sini , >ly lay the potatoes on top of thai ;round ami cover with pine ^hw, or bettor wheat straw, and , '(Mir potatoes will be white and lean when dug as though they < lad been washed and scraped.

'Lige Goudy's Corn. 'Lige Goudy, a well-known and popular passenger engineer, who Iives at Seymour, is raising some corn this year. A few days ago a gentleman called at Mr. Goudy's house to Hee him, and was informed thai he had gone out to look at his corn. The gentleman went down to the corn-field, which he found grown over with weeds of gigantic growth, with a sickly looking stalk of corn peeping forth here and there. The gentleman looked across the field, but could not see the proprietor thereof. Finally the man climbed upon the fence and shouted i "Oh, 'Lige !" To his surprise, a reply came from among the weeds nearby, in the familiar voice of Mr. Goudy. The gentleman took a second look, but could not quite locate 'Lige, and after a moment't hesitation, said : "Shake a weed, so I can tell where you are!'1?Exchange. Terrible Calamity?Farmers in GreenwoodCounty Ruined by Hail. Epwortli special in Sunday's State: ? Wednesday morning about 9 o'clock this community was completely swept by a terrible hail storm, nothing at all be ing leit on the land. Even the trees were robbed of most of the foliage and all fruits and vegetables are gone. To-day tbe fields are as clean and barren as the public road. One can-not conceive of anything so terrible. It cannot be described. The hail stricken district is about lour mile9 long mid from one to one and one-hall to two miles across. There are many people left in very, very destitute circumstances, without any provisions, no work to do and nothing for the horses and cattle. The loss estimated at $20,000. Many ot these families need help and need it now. Any one wishing to contribute to the storm sulferors will kindly send contributions to the Kpworth Supply company and it will be given to the most needy ones. Professional Cards l)r. J. E.
