A Sad Tragedy. JLast Saturday evening two sons of Mrs. Booth,, Ashby and George with a sou of Mr. Sum Brown named Ervin, were playing with an unloaded pistol, ina room at Mrs. Booth's. There was a loaded pistol on the raantlepiece, and in some way Ervin got hold of it, think ing it was unloaded, and snapped itat Ashby, sending the bullet into his brain. The ball struck A sor 's head just back of the ear, and passing upwards aud forwards peuetrated the skull n?ar the top of the head. He lived, though unconscious, until the next afternoon. An investigation by tbe Coroner brought to light tbe above facts. Mrs. Booth is almost crated with grief and is in a very critical condition. Our Exchanges. Mr. S. A. Nettles of the Clarendon Enter prise bas sold out his interest in that paper to Mr. D. H. Witherspoon, with whom he has been associated for some months. Mr. Nettles will still continue as Editor.

"The case of Mrs.'SalHe L.'Keels Vs: the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association of New York was finished in the United States Court yesterday evening, after a trial of two days.

How to Keep the Weevil Out of Peas* The weevil never enters the seed after they are ripe and harvested. Whatever insects will attack them are already inside of the seeds. .when they are harvested. Take tfie pea weevil, for example ; soon after the blossom withers and the little pod is forming, the parent weevil lays her :?gg- or eggs on the outside of this young -and tender pod. The eggs soon hatch, and the little grubs eat their way through the shell and into the fotming seed. In the case of the pea, there is usually but one grub in each ; while in the bean there are oiten as many as a dozen. The grub of the pea-weevil grows with the pea, and by the time the seed is mature the grub will be full grown, and has formed a pupa in which it will remain dormant until spring approaches. The pea seed when hai vested may each contain a weevil, which the careless obsetver may not notice. By planning time these will have awakened from their sleep and the seeds will be full of weevils. All devices to keep the weevils out of the peas are of no use, as they are already in them when harvested. But we can and should kill the weevils before they escape from the peas, to prevent their increase. Placing the seed peas in a tight- jar or box w?tfc-a little spirits of turpentine is one of the most effective methods. While we cannot keep the weevils out of peas we can kill them while they are iu th m. Buggy peas will usually grow, as the grub does not injure the embryo plant. But the food provided for the young pea plant has been eaten, and the plants from such seeds will be weaker, and con tinue to be less vigorous and pro ductive. It will be far better to burn the buggy peas and buy a fresh lot. ?American Agriculturist for December, ' She Was a Polite Child. The polite child is the latest in the juvenile work.
