gallons. Do not pour the two solu?
tions Into the other, but pour the two
solutions into a third barrel at \hv

SUfU thorough mixing. It Is very es?
sential that the two solutions be mix?

suddenly taken ill and wrent home,
when he died in a few minutes. When
first taken ill he went to a near-by
drug store to secure medicine to re?
lieve him, but after taking the dose
and not feeling any better he went on
home. A physician was speedily sum?
moned, but it was impossible to re
, Hove him and he passed away short
j !y after tho doctor's arrival.

________ ?
Wlsacky, May 3.?This very unsea?
sonable weather for the first of May is
very hurtful to the gardens and young
crops. Pretty fair stands of corn and
cotton are up in some places, and are
being plowed, but one-half of our cot?
ton is not up, and won't get up until
it rains. Oats are heading out very
low*,, and are- more in need of rain
than any of the other crops. We have
been troubled very little with birds.
They seem to be scarce, except the
English sparrow. They are abundant
and I believe are driving the other
birds away. I wish we could lind
something to drive them away, as
they are worse than a nuisance.
There have been a number of forest
fires arounrd this section. One of
our best colored citizens lost his barn,
forage, mule and two hogs last Sun?
day from a forest fire. He had fought
it all tho night before and believing
he had it extinguished, went to his
house and went to sleep. The fire
broke out again and burnt to Iiis
barn. It being on the Tdgc of tho
wood and destroyed all he had In the
lot, a total loss. Mr. Ben Keels had
hla house and smoke house with their
contents burnt the week before. Mr.
John Montgomery's home and smoke
house were burnt last Saturday. Mr.
Willie McNeil occupied the house. He
saved very little of his household
goods. No insurance. The dwelling
was insured for $1,500, about half its
value.
Mrs. Pearl Green had to go to the
Infirmary for an ooperallon. She is
able tn trot urn to her home and is do?
ing well.
Mrs. J. N. Scott, after a long spell
of Illness, in about well again.
Mrs. H. W. Scott has been a great
sufferer with neuralgia in face and
eyes. 8he still suffers some, but is
In a measure relieved.
Mrs. R. M. Cooper, Jr., Is on a visit

Miss Owens, teacher of the Mc

is at her post again, faithfully dis?
charging her duties. ?
