E. B. Morrow, extension horticul turist at State college, says it may look hard to think of planting vege tables, seeds when the thermometer is hanging around in the nineties, yet there are many crops which may be planted during the second and third weeks of August that will ma ture before frost. Among the stand-bys which he recommends are snap beans, beets, cabbage, carrots, cowpeas, corn, lettuce and turnips. Snap beans may be planted every two or three weeks up until 60 days before the first killing frost. This means as late as September the first in the central part of the State. Young beets will stand a great deal of hot weather once they are up and growing. prefers cool weath er but will give a harvest, if planted ten to 12 weeks before a killing frost. Plants of the early maturing cab bage such as Copenhagen Market and Jersey Wakefield may be set as late as the second week of August with assurance of a crop. The crop should be forced with a nitrogen side-dress er as soon as the plants are estab lished, recommends Mr. Morrow. Carrots require the same condi tions as beets and will stand some frost but not heavy freezes. Cow peas o£ the Blackeye variety should be given a row or two in the fall garden for home use. Early varieties of corn may also be planted in the eastern and cen tral sections of the State with as surance of a crop before frost. Let tuce' is worth trying as a fall crop if there is some fertile soil available. No fall garden is complete without a good space to turnips, says Mr. Morrow. CARD OF THANKS.

Early Rutherford County Pioneers Lattimore, R-l, Aug. 11.—m The Courier of July 31, under the cap tion "Some Revolutionay Heroes of Rutherford County", you mentioned that when Fed Alley was elected sheriff of Rutherford county Major Lewis and others went his bond as sureties. Sheriff Fed Alley failed and his bondsmen had his bond to pay. This broke up Major John Lewis. That was. about 1820. My grandfath er John Crenshaw Elliott, was also on Sheriff Alley's bond, and it broke him up, too. This connects our El liott. family with the early pioneers. My great grandfather, Martin El liott, with a grown up family, came here from Mecklenburg county, Va., in 1806, and settled between First Broad river and Brushy Creek, west of Shelby, along with his son-in law, George Cabaniss, and son Mar tin Elliott, Jr. His oldest son, James Elliott, settled on Buffalo Creek, east of Shelby. He had married a Doggett in Virginia and his broth er-in-law Coleman with him and married a daughter of M. Smith. My grandfather, John Elliott, was settled on Hinton's Creek on 1300 acres of land, 14 miles northwest of Shelby. He mar ried Mary Donahoo of Caswell coun ty. N. C., in 1807. Adam Elliott, youngest son, settled on Brushy Creek. His first wife was a Wilson, his second a Green. They brought 100 negroes with them. My great grandfather's mother was a Thomp son. His wife was a Finch; her moth er a Crenshaw. The Thompsons, Herds and Jack Calton came with them. My grandfather built the first grist and saw mill on Hinton's Creek. He died in 1827 and forty negroes were sold at his sale. My grandmother had valuable lands in Rutherford county, Tennessee, that she sold to buy a part of the ne groes, which she saved with all the land. The balance went on Fed Al ley's bond.

North Carolina county Elliotts were here before our family came (See Census Lists, 1790.) Where did Fed Alley live? Our old land papers call for Alley lines. I think James Chitwood bought the Alley lands and sold part of it to John Elliott. In my parambulations in 1868, seeking a better place to live, and on my way to Illinois, I stopped a while with Abner Alley, near War trace, Tenn., 54 miles south of Nash ville. He was a man of considerable means, lived in a brick house on a good farm in the Blue Grass region, and worked on his farm. He said his father came from North Carolina, and the way he berated it as a poor state I thought he might have been a son of the absconding sheriff. Fed Alley, and had got to Tennessee with much money. He had been a negro trader, and had lived in Nash ville and still had a business there where he spent most of his time. His son-in-law, Capt. Mackey, a Confederate veteran, managed the farm. Alley said farming was a poor slow way of making that he only farmed to support a comfortable home. During the first of the War Between the States, he had fallen out with a neighbor man and they "went gunning for each other" and he had shot down his enemy on the streets of Columbia, Tenn., and fled across the Federal lines north. He returned after the war and stood trial that cost him $15,000, and his victim's widow had secured a large • judgment against him and he had; transferred his property to his wife. I She was a good fine, tall womah who j told me of being in the midst of a severe battle. The Confederates J had taken a position near her dwel-j ing. The Federals made a sudden j assault on the Confederate positions j placing her home directly in the Fed-J eral battle line and planted their ar tillery in her yard. The Confederates I raked both sides of her house close, J filling her yard with dead and wound- j ed. She said she felt pretty safe knowing the Confederates knew she \ was in the house would not hit it.: But her house was blooded up in a terrible' mess with the wounded. After a while, I think, the Federals withdrew and the Confederates held their position. Mr. Alley tried hard to have me stay with them but I passed on to Illinois, going- down the Cumberland river, and 60 miles up the Ohio river to Shawnee-Town where I landed on undisputed free soil. At a Confederate Reunion at Macon, Ga., I learned from an oid neighbor that Mr. Alley lived to be quite old. I was in Illnois during the Grant and Seymore campaign 1868. —JAMES C. ELLIOTT.
