Sigma OWE'S GREAT LONDON SHOWS nstinted Applause Follows Performance From Critical Atlanta Audiences. The general concensus of opinion T the five or six thousand Atlanta eople who attended the afternoon ul night performances given by awe's Great London Shows is that it a cleaner, clever circus ever raised s canvas in Atlanta, and every pcrm attending the afternoon or evenig performance will be a walking, liking advertisement for this show lould "the circus" come this way rain. All the horses, all the animals of ie menagerie, looked trim, well fed id cared for; the wagons, the cages, emed more than mere gold leaf and nsel decorations. From the ticket llers and lakers to the ushers, and *en the canvas men. the circus atches appeared neat and courteous, ut, best of all, there wasn't a grafters" with the show. For each me or dollar spent by the aniuseent seekers, either in or about the im\\ an equivalent |o the full was veil of entertainment. There h ave been large shows in A't-| nta in past years, circuses that >read larger tents, needed more cars >r transporting paraphernalia and cliihits, shows 'that made more prense and blew louder blasts of pub:*ily, but never one tluvt gave pa^nis more for their money or made better impression of cleanliness and M-ency. To praise in detail all that lould be praised would be to connne columns of space, so it can only * said 'that every TTowe attraction as better than represented, every I ng artist first slass. every detail of ie circus wholly satisfying. This great circus will visit us on nesday. October 27. WILL SURVEY ROUTE TO SEA. orps of C. C. and 0. Engineers to bo Located at Spartanburg. Spartanburg, October 11.--M.

State. 1 The form of tin- Memorial to Ilu* I" Women of the t 'onfcderacy, has boon . decided on ami each Slate of the Con- 1 1 fotleracy. nmler the wise plan adopt-I I i ll, will have a inonnment of the liijih- | est iirlislie de>i?u. to mark its appro- ' oiation of these glorious women. The)1 plan seleeted is that suggested by i 1 (ion. C. Irvine Walker, of ('harloslon. , ' S. w hi el i was presented lorinally i' at tin- Now Orleans reunion by the 'commit toe of which Col. .lames Maun, j of Norfolk is chairman. I| is well; I hat this point is now settled, lor the South can know exactly what it is j work inn for. The plan luul most ma- j turo consideration and was adopted as it would give iron oral satisfaction and ' was most thoroughly practicable. The plan is to secure from the very j best artists, a model or design, show-;' ing in the most cmhlomntic and high- j ly artistic form, what those women did and sulfered. port ravine the same in ;i single statin' or group id statues, in bronze. 11 i> the artistic work \ which is the large cost, the castiug| from t lie model, is compnral ively inexpensive. The commit loo will buy the model and from ii will have cast, in bronze, enough replicas so tha?l, I 1 i i at least, one can he placcd in each o! i the Confederate States. All I he j casts being from the one model and j all delivered at the same lime, all will 1 be originals. In each Slate, a^ such ^ place as may be hereafter decided, ; the statues will be erected on appro-, priiile and handsome pedestals. These | pedestals will vary, hni :ill will be j similar, in that they will be crowned |i wilh the same slatue. All throughout the Siiiilh will be seen these spendid memorials and the very uniformity of the crowning statues will show, as Ihov should, (ha.t the South as a whole united in paving this niacin ficont tribute |o (lie women of t-he South as a whole. The plan has been accepted and endorsed by all the State conventions of Veterans and Sons to which it has been submitted, bv the Confederate Veterans a( their New Orleans reunion and now decided by the approval of 'the commit loo of the sons to whom il was referred at the same reunion. San Jose Scale. (II). For preparing lime sulphur wash j' the following formula is recommend-: ed: ' Lime (unslaked) 21 pounds j Sulphur 18 pounds j Wntor, to make .*>0 gallons, j Roil till I he proper color is obtain-, ed and this will require violent boiling from 4") minutes to one hour. The proportions of lime and sul- j phur given above are not absolutely j imperative but may be varied slightly ] if convenient, bill the directions for mixing and boiling should be followed , implicit ly. It is difficult to, mix dry sulphur with water, therefore after the sul-j pluir is weighed oul mix i| wilh a ' sniiill quantity of water to form a I paste. Ileal about lf> gallons of wal-t or in an iron kettle to boiling, add | the sulphur paste to |ho boiling water I and stir thoroughly wilh a wooden j paddle. W'hile I his mixture is boil- j imr. the stone lime, which has been j weighed out previously, is added, tinsinking of which causes a violent 1 cooking. The boiling liquid should be ihoroiighlv stirred in order to keep | the lime and sulphur mixed. When j the lime is slaking it mav be noeos- 1 snry to add a small quantity of cold ! writer to prevent boiling over. In no case should cold water be added ext eopt just enough to keen the mixture' from boiling over. Roiling should be j continued until all signs of yellow; sulphur have disappeared and the mixture has assumed a greenish. ' brick-red color. This may require an i hour and I he boiling should be violent ! enough sii <that this is accomplished . in about an hour because long con-| tinned boiling may injure the liquid.! When |he proper color has been scour- | ed the mixture is diluted to .">0 gal- ; ! us. |'y boiling we mean a violent ; cooking and not a mere simmering. i r Where I!ii' above method of adding in In' stone lime to the boiling mixture ol' s used il will shorten tin* time re- III piircd for making I lie wasli, bill it is In lecess.-iry lo have a kettle of at least \\ ?.*) gallon capacity to make f>0 gallons cr >r one barrel of wash. When1 a large pr imonnl ol' sprayiny is p? be done il in - of great advantage lo enclose the er \etlle with a brick arch. With a 70 n allon kettle thus closed in 100 g?l- of oiis ol' mixture ready to spray can be j nc nade at one boiling and il can be I sli n.idc fast enough to keep in opera! ion j w i liree barrel pumps. The brick arch ' .1, io( only gives better draft but is a pr :reat convenience on windy days lo p| hose who attend t" the kellle. s| Another method for preparing I he w ivash. bn! slower. is as follows: ,tli Alter slaking the lime add the snl- yt dmr and enough water lo allow easy <>t lioilinir. Ib?il briskly until the snl- he !?hnr is dissolved, which should not fli ei|iiire longer than an hour. This c.m 1 ?e prepared in any iron kellle sncli is are connnonlv found on every farm. This nielhod is convenient where lf I he ordinary iron kettle as found on very farm is used. S1 flic ne\l article will consider llie lime and method of spraying and cost of a|(plication. 11 A.

''1 10. ami it is an awful sight lo sec how the poor fanners' crops have *1 been destroyed by I he recent high wa- u Icrs. How it grieves them lo think '' I hey have so much corn lo buy the l*' coining year and they are not mak- " ing any cotton hardly, and wli.it little 111 they are making they are giving it Sl away to the men who have the money. m The men who sell corn are not sorry ' the corn is destroyed, for they know vv I hey will gel |o sell we farmers more. I saw an old firend of mine and he ' I old me that he lost his whole crop 1,1 of corn on Mroad river. He said he r< would have to buy about one hundred (l' bushels, as he had old corn enough lo ' ' feed him until March. We eantiol blame the money men for the way we farmers have to suffer in this great calamity, for the men in our union who are able to hold their w cotton they cried out "Hold your " cotton for lo cents, wc will get it." '' I'hat is what threw we poor fanners M in the hole. They put the price on cotton too sleep, for as a farmers un- ' ion we must first crawl and then walk. ' They made'a start to walk before time s' and now will have lo start back to ' crawling, ami the men who have the money are showing us who will rule 'the price of cotton, ami now we /ire ' talking S cents for our cotton on :ic- ,M count of same. oi Money men ami speculators are no!

Where there is one man in the union trying lo uphold it, I'hcrc arc 10 non-union men onl side :l of the inii m that are stumbling blocks in Irving lo tear down instead of '' building up the union, so I plead with all non-union farmers, instead of be- ~ ing stumbling blocks conic in the union and be an aid towards the uplifting of our union and order, which i- the greatest thing thai has ever " presented itself to the poor fanners.
