On Saturday a large crowd gathered at Shilob to participate either In one way or another, in observing the chlldrens day, and It was emphatically a chlldrens day, for it seemed as If the surrounding country, for miles, had brought out Its entire supply, ol "Young America." bhlloh has long been noted lor Her big crowas, dui me one ine aay Deiore yesterday, entitles her to the championship in that line of the county. The main part of the church was lull, the galleries were fall, and a good part of out doors was full. The exercises began about 11a. m.wlth Superintendent L. P. Harkness, master of ceremonies, who proved himself equal to the occasion. Included in the programme were several feasts, literary, musical, physical, and these j were so nicely adjusted, and timed, and so in- > termlxed and varied, as that no one of them was continued long enough to lose its attrac- < tlon. The most prominent, the one specially , designed to commemorate the day, was the active part taken by the school In recitations, | dialogues and music, all of which showed a familiarity and fitness, upon the part of each, for their respective parts and were so well performed as to rob the occasion of the monotomy, sometimes attending them. Another part of the literary feaRt, was furnished by 1 Rev. E. \V. Mason, Rev. \V. H. Arlal, Mr. L. ] 1\ Harkness and Mr. W. W. Bradley our efll- j clent county Auditor. All of the addresses 1 by theaboved named, were to the point, and I appropriate. About lt4.U0 p. m. an Interval of : one hour and thirty minutes was given to the bodily feast, coupled with social converse, i both of which were contributed to liberally by the good people of that section, who know so well how to administer to the comfort and ] happiness of all visitors.

Spartanburg. S. C., August 5.?At the preliminary trial of Ed. Green and Mrs. Fannie Carson, who were arrested to-day, charged with murdering J. O. Carson, the woman's nusband. Bud Poole swore that Green came to his brother's house and Invited him to his house to spend the night. Green went out, saying that he would return in h few minutes. At the expiration of three hours he returned with his hands bloody, and very much excited. He said to Poole: "Me and Fannie have killed him," and offered Poole 8100 to swear that they had spent the night together, neither leaving the house. Poole refused ibe otter, and repeated his testimony upon the stand. The evidence fixed the crime which the consplrltors tried to palm off as a suicide. It seems that Green and Mrs. Carson had been planning several months to get the husband out of the way. They attempted on two occasions to poison him with strychnine, but without success, and they finally decided to cut his throat. Mrs. Carson admitted Green into the house on the night of the murder, and after her husband had gone to sleep she stunned him with a hammer. Green rushed up and caught his head, holding It back while the wife savagely cut his throat with a razor with which Green had already supplied her. The head of the victim was ulmost severed from the body. CARD. lion. 1>. II.

Fig. 1 shows a house in which the roof tad sides are combined. It may be 16 feet square, 9 feet at the peak, with, a board at the bottom 1 foot high, or it may be of any size desired. The cost for material is about $15, the floor being Df earth. It is not so convenient for one entering it as is the house shown at Pig. 2, but this bouse gives more room an the ground, at less cost. "Windows ihould be at both ends, and the roosts may be short, so as not to interfere with ingress and egress of the attendant. Fig. 1 shows a double house. This house is 10 by 16 feet, divided into two apartments, each 8 by 10 feet, and will sost about $15. Each apartment will accommodate about ten or twelve fowia, ind one ventilator (A) will answer for both. There are two entrances to ana from the interior, one at each end (B), and a wire or lath partition, with a dear Jl double poultry house. in the partition, separates the two flocks. This house, like the other, gives plenty ot room on the ground, and is more ccnrenient in some respects, but both are food, and cheap. , Top Dreuinc Grata laadi. A trial was made of spreading nan ore upon the ground late in the fall, also of Leaving it in small heaps on the land in the fall and spreading it early in the jpring. A third trial whs made of hauling the manure and spreading the last of April just before the grass started. The manure was spread as evenly as possible and bosh harrowed. The best result was from the land on which the manure was spread the last of April. Ihe poorest result was from the manure ICJH* JJLl JUCa^/d VTVi WW UMUt wy* M? ? ? the spring. Not realizing satisfactory returns from aither of these experiments, a portion of my land -was planted two years to fodder corn. The spring following the same quantity of manure as used in top dressing was spread and plo wed under and the land laid down to grass. With the grass seed was sown a sufficient quantity of oats to smother the weeds the fist season. The result was that the crop of oats and grass the first year was of v.yre value than the best crop of grass reali ted from top dressing. It continued to bj of orach better quality and quantity in the Eoar succeeding years. Another experiment for producing grass was made upon land broken up in August. The manure was spread upon tho Bod, thoroughly harrowed under and the land laid down to grass. The result of this experiment was fully as satisfactory in quantity and quality of grass as from the land planted two years to fodder corn and then laid down to grass. These experiments, which have been conducted through a series of ten years, lead to the conclusion that there is much loss in the fertilizing properties of manure applied to the surface of the earth. ?American Cultivator. Enduring Fence Ports. Charring the ends of posts that are to be set in the ground is often recommended, hut when the time and trouble required in doing it are considered it is doubtful if it will pay. As a geaexal thing heartwood and the wood from mature trees, neither very young nor very old, will last longer than wood from trees of either extreme. In heavy clay soils Says wet or moist pests will endure gar than in gravelly and lighter ones that are alternately wet and dry. Usually trees grown on dry uplands, if of the proper age, are worth more as fuel or timber than such as are grown in a dense forest or low, rich land.
