A Norfolk Vs., man recently planted 500 black walnut trees on twenty-two acres of land which were not capable of producing any crops. In planting the trees he made this calculation: The field cost S8.00, interest and taxes 8280; total $360. In thirteen years the treea begin to bear nuft.in twenty yeais the treea ought to War 8200 worth of nuts, while at the end of fifty years,for which time the interest and taxes are estimated, the trees Ehould be large enough to cut 500 feet of lumber each, or 250,000 feet, -which, at $150 per 1000, would amount to $37,500. Here is something for lumbermen and sterile land owners to think about. NORTH CAROLINA REPUBLICANS. They Hold a State Convention and Nominate a Ticket. Raleioh, N. C. The Republican State convention met herewith ninety three of the ninety-six counties repre sented. On the lstday of August the Populh t State convention met her and nominated W. H. Worth Ur State treasurer, W. T. Faircloth for chief justice of the supreme court and G. Connor, D. M. Furches, and Walter Clark for associate justices. The con test was over the nomination of an en tire ticket for the purpose of fusion of the Republican and Populist patties during this campaign. By a vote of 154 to 30 the convention Dominated this ticket. The intention is to fuse on every office and only have one candi date for each office to be voted for. The resolution on t-ilver is as follows: "We favor a financial policy not in favorof mono metallism, cither of g l I or silver, as the basis of a financial sys tem, but international bimetallism to be secured by ttreuuous efforts of the national power to be directed against such foreign nations as adhere to the single gold standard. Under existing conditions, with international agree ment, we favor the free coinage of the entire product of American mines at the ratio of 16 to 1. Now, and in th ; future, all dollars eheuld be of eqwd purchasing power, to the end that a suitable currency, abundant for oil wants, shall secure to all the people the full results of their labor."

Many Northwestern farmers have become thoroughly tired of enduring the trials to which their imceitiin cli mate subjects them, and are turning their eyes toward the South as the lmd of promise. A large number of Neva da stock farmers and dairymen are pre paring to move to North Carolina an I purchase farm3 in localities su.te.l to their avocations. Within a few years the immigration of farnierp, dairymen, poultry-raisers, orchard, smull fruit and vegetable cultivators from the Northwest and from our New England States will assume considerable pro portions, and Tiedmont and Western North Carolina will receive more of them than all other sections of tho South combined, for the people of that State are more like those of the North than any other, and their laws and cus toms are more like those to which Northern people are wonted. There is less gush and sentiment and more com mon sense to the square yard in North Carolina than in any State of "Dixie land." It is a better State for New England men to go to who are tired of life in their old home and long to get amid new surroundings than any of the newer States of the West, Wash ington only excepted, and for men of energy, brains and money enough to ttart w ith it offers great opportunties. 4 Murder in the Breckinridge Campaign. Cincinnati. The Times-Star's Lexington, Ky., special says: A fight to death with knives occured in Clark County, near Boonesboro, over the scandal feature of the Ashland Con gressional contest. John King, a Breckinridge man, living in Fayette County, met on the highway his old friend, George Cook, w ho lives inClrrk County.

Cook insisted it wasa shame. He also dismounted. Both drew knives and blood flowed freely until Cook dropped, having three stabs in the breast. King has escaped. One Kenticky CirTs Record.

Terrible forest fires have been pre vailing in Wisconsin and hundreds of people have been rendered homeless. The towns of Mission Creek and Hiuck ly were utterly destroyed, 50 people being burned to death at the latter place. Diamonds and Dlamoiid.Cuitlng. In the rough that ip, just as the fctoue has been washed out of the clay, and broken loose from the ore a dia mond presents the appearance of a crystal pebble, somewhat pointed at each end. it usually appears to be of a brownish hue. but now and again a ray of light will seem to leap from the very heart of the stone. From this rough form of the gem the diamond cutter decides what the shape of the finished jewel is to be. The crystal line shape of the diamond is that of an octahedron, although the stone is found sometimes as a rhombic dode cahedron, triakisoctahedron, or hexakisoctahedron, but it is al ways in accordance with the fubio sys'em. It should be the aim of the diamond cutter to pre serve this octahedral character of the gem. To accomplish this, the rough stone is first split, or chipped. The operation is a most difficult one, re quiring an insight into the character of each individual stone. There are hardly two gems that can be treated in a precisely similar manner. Every diamond has a thorough individuality, ond must be treated accordingly, in order to obtain the best results. The "splitting" is accomplished by fixing the gem in a block of cement, after which the angles must be split off in accordance with the direction of the crystallization. Flaws are aLso taken out in this operation, ani the diamond given its future shape. The majority of diamonds are found in the East Indies, on the plateau of Dekhan, in Brzil, on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra ; also in the Ural, and Australia. Within recent yean very productive diamond-mines have been put into operation in southeast ern Africa, the Transvaal. The diamonds most highly prized are the Indian and Brazilian stones; they are generally of the purest white, the most complete transparency "water," and the most brilliant "fire." Home and Country.
