Thornton and dated at Aus- tin, Texas, conveying the sad intelli- gence of J. F. Harber's death in that city on Monday. The news while not wholly unexpected, was a shock to the many friends of the de- ceased here. The remains will be brought to Nevada for burial. Mr. Harber was a resident of Ne- vada about eighteen years, having been prominently identified with the business interests of the place during the whole time. The past several years he has been engaged in the ary goods business. He was a devoted member of the M. E. eburch, south, and was an earnest working christian. He was about 42 years of age and leaves a wife and four small children, all of whom were with him in his last hours. Deceased had been in poor health for two or three years and made a trip to the Atlantic coast something over a year ago, with apparent ben- efit and only a few weeks since went to Austin, Texas, hoping to recover, but his hope proved to be buta hope. His life was insured for $5. 000 in the Connecticut Mutual, which Prof. S. S. Simpson, the agent, says will be paid to the widow within} one week after the proof of death | has been made. Mr. Harber was born in Madison counts, Ky., was reared in Washington county that state He moved to Missouri when he reached manhood and was married in Seda- lia to Miss Almeda Wood, daughter of Clifton Wood, deceased, a promi- nent banker there then, and a sister and of Maj.

The halting, hesitating, undecid ed, uncertain, uncompromising, trembling atitude of of the president on all public questions, expressed in his speeches during the campaign, is maintained in his message. He fa vors federal aid to education, but it must be of a kind and of a quantity which will not entail the evils insep arable from federal aid. He admits that such aid could only be given in exceptional circumstances; this ex- ception is the freedom of the negre. But the negro was free twenty-five years ago;a new generation is at schooi; the circumstances which might have justitied aid twenty years ago have changed, and the president admits that the ability of states to do this work, and their interest in it, have increased, so he wants taxa tion, and he makes the astonishing suggestion that it should be distrib uted as to be applied chiefly to the negro, as though an illiterate white were not as dangerous as an illiter- ate black. The president is in favor of a law regulating elections, but he wants one which entails no danger and is free from all objections, and he wants this, too, chiefly for the negro. He will not get it. It is not worth while further to discuss the message. It is charac- terized by timidity, by bigotry, by! hypocrisy; it holds out promises which neither the president nor his party intends to redeem.

In each of these | cities are factories where the nuts as they are delivered by the farmers are bought. The nuts as they appear at this stage. with earth and their stems still clinging to them, are hardly to be recognized as the bright nuts we after- ward see on the corner stand. To polish them, and to remove the earth and stems, the nuts are scoured in large iron cylinders. from which they pass through blast fans, in which a strong current of air separates the fully developed nuts having sound kernels from those imperfectly filled, and empty pods. The sound nuts fall through the fan upon picking tables, where those which are discolored are taken out, and the bright ones are passed into sacks which will each hold about 100 pounds of nuts. Each sack is marked with the brand which indi- cates the grade of its contents. The dark and the partially filled nuts are shelled, und the kernels are used by confectioners in making pea- nut candy. The work of picking over and separating the nuts is performed by little girls. about 20 of whom are employed at every table. Three varieties of peanuts are grown in this country, the white, the red and the Spanish. The white. which is the most important variety, has a nut with two kernels, with pink skins; its vine spreads along the ground, in this re- spect unlike that of the red variety, which grows more upright and in a bunch. The pod of the red and sometimes four deep red skin The Spanish is a much smaller nut, with a lighter skiu and milder flavor than either of the othe The entire crop is she used espec- jally in that ri confection known as nougat. In 1880 the consumption of peanuts in the United States was less than 2,- 000,000 bushels, In 1557 the amount had iner “d to fou id a third mill- ion bushels all of which s eaten in the United States and Canada. The demand for peanuts has trebled in the past few years, and the crop has never been sutfic the demand. The peanut is a more useful product than people in general think it to be. The nuts contain from 42 to 50 per cent. of nearly color bland, fixed oil, which sembles oli oil, and is used for similar purposes. ‘This oil is principally employed in the manu- facture of the fine: des of soap. In 1883 Virginia began to manu- facture peanut fiour, which makes a peculiarly palatable biscuit, and North Carolina has long made pastry of pounded peanuts. It is also eaten for dessert, and is roasted as a substitute for coffee The peanut. is very nutritive.
