There v.>aa a richly spread for
feasting the wearers of the gray and
all went off in the best of spirits.
The special event of the days from
the veterans' point of view was the
inspection of the beautiful granite
monument recently erected. The
work was executed by Webb and Van
Pelt, representing the Mooresville
Marble aud Granite Company. With
out the figure or statute that is yet
to be added the monument stands
201-2 feetjcxuplete it will be 28 feet.
As constructed thero ore four bases
or steps, three of granite in addition
to the cement foundation aud ground

that -watermelons will not be -received
for 'either of these cities urhess the
freight on them is prepaid. The ■ship
ment* of melons for the several 1
weeks have ben very laf\re, imd it is
thought from '(Tie notice as served
that the company realizes the over
stocked condition of the mrrket and
they refuse the shipments 'for fear
that freight ehrtrtjes eannol be realiz
ed'on 'them, ~h is not known for how
'long this ruling will be in force, but

Madison Held For Jury.
Mooresville, Special.—The prelim
inary trial of Glenn Madison for the
killing of Terrell Sherrill Saturday
morning was held before C. V. Voils,

swore that he heard 1 Madison tell
Sherill about a week ago that lie
would kill him about a girl they were
going with but thought nothing of
it at the time as they were both
young boys. A negro woman, Marin
Bell, who lives near the old school
house where the homicide occurred,
heard Glenn tell his little sister, to
tell his mother "nothing doing."
Glenn then went in the school house
and in about ten minutes she heard
the shot. Mack Melchor swore that
he got there about five minutes after
the shot and that he found the body
with four cartridges near it, and the
bullet that had been fifired in Sher
rill's cap in n not t her room. From

committed to jail for investigation

Dutch Drugging .Makes Convenient
Corners and it Simple. f t
Dragging "Dutch fashion" la noth
ing new. I learned it more than
twenty years ago. Still, It may be
new to some and prove of value. Its
advantages are that It drags neither
lengthwise nor square across the
furrows makes easier corners
than the ordinary diagonal dragging.
Plain Dutch fashion is shown in dia
gram above. Commence by "striking
out" from A to B. Turn to the rtght
and go back on the left side, tit hr3t

end Inside your bwt track nnd outside

Jvalf done the piece will look like
first diagram, mid thefnext trip would
toe from C to D, to li, to F, to C.
When done tihe last trip would be
from G to H, nnd the j>iece will have
be»» dragged twice diagonally in
opposite directions. This works well
on places thaut are nearly square or
no* more th*« twice a« long as wide.
Of late we have found that it Is econ
omy In plowing, cultivating, etc., to
make our lands as long as possible.

I Getting gas a#d power from peat Is i

I hear of prominent men using it,'
J Dried peat may make a better filler in '
a low grade fertilizer than sand, but!

In conclusion It may bo said that
sprnying is one of the persistently
neglected nieces of work that should
be done on the farm. There is cer
tainly no economy in allowing from
ten to twenty per cent, of our crops
to be destroyed by insects' and plant
diseases. Spraying cannot prevent
all the loss from these sources; but
it will prevent much of it and pay ar
handsome profit on the money and
time Invested, when properly done.
Get a good sprayer and take care
of your orchard, vineyard and truck
' riches this year.—Progressive Far.

'■ - Better Feeding,
j If growth and are expected,
I more attention must bo given to feed-
I i n .s; T!-S i'Jca that the chickens can
, Rather nil the feed they need if they
I have sufficient range is one of the fal
lacies which account for the fact that
J we are not getting as much out of our
I poultry ns wo should. If the poultry
j have a large ranare they may got
enough to make the feeding of an
imal feeds or green Rtuff less imper
ative, but they will still need grain
if they are to do their best, ft, is true
that the man who spends $1 on his
chickens and gets $5 in return is
making a large percentage of profits,
but the mnn who spends S2O and gets
$lO In return is making the most
money.
j We must see that the fowls have a
fair allowanca-of grain—corn, wheat,
etc.—end a liberal quantity of animal
feed, and it will probably be best not
to depend on them petting all of this
themselves, no matter how large the
run, Oreen feed should also be sup
plied In abundance and since win
ter eggs are profitable, why not grow
some crop to supply green feed the
year through-? It can bo (Jone and
will pay. The poultry must also
have grit and unless there Is plenty
of sharp, hard gravel on the runs, it
should be supplied. Limn Is also a
