About five weeks ago a man calling him self Rev. Thomas P. Tucker and claiming to be an evangelist, came to Wilson nd began holding open air services. Fiually many tiecame interested in his work and believed him a good man. For a week or more, on account of the weather, he as sembled a crowd iu the tabernacle ou South Lodge street, where many, especially from the factory district, went to hear him preach. Wheu referring to his wife, and he continually did so, he would say "my dear dead wife I can see her image now as it looms up before me; oh! how deeply do I regret the day she died." It would be better for his peace of miud had this good woman died long ago. But it se ins that she is very much alive, as a warrant W. F. sworn out by her before Long, a justice ot the peace in Rockingham, proves. Sheriff Sharp received the war rant yesterday, which charges that the reverend gentleman abandoned his wife and eight children in Rock ingham on March third of last year year ago; and today the par son was arrested at the home of Mrs. Peterson, on Factory Hill, while seated at the dinner table. He was conducted to jail and will remain until the coming of an of ficer, who will take him back to Rockingham where the dear wife and eight little Tuckers will loom up before him in Mesh and blood. This correspondent interviewed him and asked him if the charge made in the warrant was true, and that if he had anything to say as to why he left his family. He said: "The charge is true, I sup pose, as my wife has made it'; but I had heard that she was dead." "Why didn't you investigate the matter and ascertain the correct ness or the falsity of the report!" "Oh! well," said he, "when living with her she had a most ungovern able tongue she made things so hot for me I rather welcomed the news."' When asked if it was true as to his being the father of eight children he answered, "Yes the eldest is past 21 and the youngest about three years old.'' Roads For Alamance. Burlington. April 7. At a joint meeting of the commissioners of Alamance and the road eommis sion held in Graham Monday, bids for the construction of macadam roads where opened and contracts were awarded. R. L. Peters, of Knoxville., Tenn., was awarded a contract to construct 46 miles of macadam road for $191,000. The contract for the erection of eoucrete bridges was awarded to the Eureka Cement Company, of BurlinetoiH for $19,316. The con tract price is 4,0(10 a mile, including bridges. Owing to the fact that Alamance county has 25 cotton factories, only 31 of which are on the railroad, it can readily be seen that this is the greatest step forward she has even taken. This fact alone, to say nothing of the hundreds of other small enterprises which will be benefited and the farmers with an abund ance of timber heretofore unmark etable on account of the condition of the roads, makes the advisabili ty of this improvement apparent. Work will be commenced at once and pushed tocorapletion. No matter how careless a house keeper a woman may be, sho never lets any dust collect upon her vocal organs. Be brave and let who will be scared by the assessor. New Stamp Approved. Washington, April 7.

High winds are still prevailing to day over the Mississppi valley, where a cyclone last night killed eight peo ple and did incalculable damage to property. Five deaths occurred at Aber deen, Miss., where a crowd of peo ple was caught under the ruins of the Illinois Central depot, which was completely demolished by the tornado. Five bodies have been taken from the ruins and the search of the demolished buildings is still in progress to-day. The storm swept northward. Among other cities reporting de struction to-day are Miami, Ind., Marion, 111., and towns in Butler county, Ohio. The two other deaths reported are said to be due to lightning. Pruning The Apple Tree. The apple is the most cosmopol itan of orchard fruits and the one about which there seems to lie more varied opinions in regard to the pruning of it. Every apple grower is confronted every winter with the question of how best to prune his trees. While pruning is a natural process, it should be avoided as much as possible as the tree gets older. The heaviest pruning, in pro portion to the amount of tree top, is done during the first two or three years of the tree's growth. During this time the apple tree should lie properly started and should be well pruned, so that when it comes into Ilea ring it will not lie necessa ry to prune it severely. Two forms are generally consid ered in the starting of the young apple tree in the orchard the low and high headed tree. The choice of either one of these forms de pends to a great extent on the cul tural methods to lie followed bv the orchardist, and upon the cli matic conditions. The high head ed tree is perhaps better suited for Northern and Eastern conditions, while the low headed tree is better adapted to our section of the coun try. The first prunint: of the young apple tree, after it has been trans planted to the apple orchard, should 1)0 carefully done, as at this time we determine the height of the trunk. The top should be cut back to about twenty to twenty four inches from the ground. The following spring a number of limbs will develop from the trunk. Three to five limbs only should be allow ed to form the scaffold . At the next pruning, the following spring, these scaffold limbs are cut back somewhat anil any interfering . ! t!-f U i X ''. , -.

At the third, and even the fourth pruning the limbs should lie cut back and the tree rounded up generally. While there are some fruit grow ers who claim that the bearing ap ple tree should le cut back every year, the nature of the growth at that time in this climate does not warrant such practice, and on the whole results are not so satisfacto ry. The bearing tree should be pruned as lightly as possible. It does not produce the same rank growth that the young tree does during the first few years A great deal of the vitality of the bearing tree is used up in the production of the fruit, and in fruit spores for the following crop. The limbs should lie cut as near the trnnk as possible, so the wound may heal over quickly. Never cut RIGHT KIND! Daisy 99 See Them limbs so as to leave a stump one or more inches long. Such stumps if left never heal over. The healing of the wound depends on the ac tivity of the cambium layer. This layer is most active in the spring after the tree starts to growing. The longer the wounds remain ex posed, Ithe more it will dry and crack. Wounds which are made in the fall or midwinter necessari ly remain longer before the cambi um layer logins to grow over them than those made in the spring just before the tree starts to growing. While trees can and may be pruned any time during their dormant pe riod that is, during the fall, win ter and spring the preferable time is in the spring, shortly be fore growth begins.
