I want to congratulate the man· I

their action in regard to football. 1
am sure the sober thinking class of
people, generally, will give .» hearty !
amen to that ruling. The time will
couie, so I predict, that a profession
al football player will not be compe
tent for jury service, because of his
cruelty of heart. Any play that has
its principle for success, "lay out
the beet fellow on the other side,"
should not be tolerated by any in
stitution of learning, much les·- a
christian college. Long live Trinity

thi· way, you should visit or wriie

•erymen, statiug the character of
your «oil, and the purpose forwhlch

«>·». leaving the selection of varie
ties almost entirely |with hiin, and
you will almott inv aribly get », more
satisfactory selection of frnit tt;an
could be gotten jn any other man
ner, for he is supposed to tinder
«land your want» ami to know what
varieties would be best adapted to
the purpose for which rou desire
them. It is to the interest of all
nurserymen to pire their best selec
tion in such case·, thereby making
every orchard an advertisement and
lasting friends of their customers.
1 will now call attention to the old
adage "Any thing that is worth do
iny at ail. is worth doing well,'' and
1 know of nothing that it can better
be applied to than the handling,
planting and oaring for trees. For
sue··» Nsfui fruit growing mainly de
pends upon the treatment the trees
receive. Yet we often see intelli
gent and frugal men lu other way a
throw valuable trees in an opsa
wagou, and drive tor miles with
their roots unprotected, and exposed
to the sum and drying winds whlih
rapidly reduces their vitality. Such
ι exigence ou the part of the piaul
er is often the cause of disappoint
ment, and makes troible for the
nurserymen. It i· generally con»
ceded by s!! practical fruit grower*
or any one else who has been a close
observer of plant growth, that fall
planting is best, for wheu a tree 1·
transplanted it immediately begins
to re-establish Itself by starting uew
roots. 0r»tj by the h-aliug of the
wound* where tbe roots ha* e been
rut, next by throwing out strong
quill like, penetrating root· from
sucf. places, and then multitudes of
fine feeders will begin to permeate
the soil in all direction·. So by
the middle of Fabuary | „
Mareb, when epring plantingt· use
ally done, the tree· planted in the
tall will have a root system already
made, that would take the spring
trees six or eight weeks to obtain,
tnereby giving the fall planted trees
much the advantage to withstand
the warm dry weather of the first
summer and fall, which is always
the most trying on young trees.
Then again we should remember the
results of procrastination. The
weather iu the spring, as in the
recent past, might be a little un
favorable, and a rush of other work
uiighi cause th<* time for tree plant
ing to be stolen. And it is also pro
bable that at that time you could
not obtain as tine varieties nor as
pretty trees or as good a succession
of fruit as coo Id be gotten earlier in
the seaion. In the preparation of j
the soil I am a strong believer in
the old method, that of breakin« the
ground very deep, and checking otî
with plow a( a distance of 18 to 24 J
feet each w,»y. With this well done,
thf Γ;· will be little to do with spade!

The musical comedy,"When Reu
ben Come· to Town."wa· presented
at the Grand la*t night to an au
dience that seemed to etij.iy it thor
ouahly. There la not much tccre of
plot thaji the usual farc»-comedy
carries - just enough to han< a lot of
anusing incidents and musical num
bers upon. Hat the character of
Reuben, portrayed by Kdgar Hal-j
stead, is something of a study, and
in the second act where he la per
suaded that he is sick, though he
never felt better in hit life, there
was a picture of bewilderment and
comic misery that was Intensely
amusiug and ûgî stscr: !" ►»· forgot
