TRAVELING SHARKS.
Montgomery County Infested With Them— Give Them a Warm Reception. There is now located here a company of peddlars representing a foreign house and are selling a riding harrow with a broadcast seeder attachment. They have seven or eight wagons and their plan is to load their machines up and start out to catch the first farmer who will bite. It has been fully proven on tho experimental farms supported by the State, that broadcast wheat in this part of the country will frequently all winter kill, where drilled wheat will produce a fair crop, so look out for these Bharpers with their seeders. Now if the farmers want to try broad cast wheat, better go to your own dealer at any town in this county and they will no doubt get you a similar machine much better built in every respect, and may be at little over half the cost to you. Remember these sharpers are after your money, here to-day and gone to-morrow. Why, less than one year ago a similar gang took 88,000 out of this county and left a lot of almost worthless plows at 842.00 each, many of which can now be bought at 85.00. The song they sang was to the effect, that in order to introduce the plow they would take part payment in horse feed and board. The victim was also made a sub-agent and was to enjoy the profits on all future sales in his neighborhood. Of course he 6ignan "agreement" which, in a couple of months, turned up in a bank at Frankfort in the shape of a note for 843 for collection, and of course the plow boing worthless the farmer lost his money, horse feed and board.
Farmers, look out for these sharpers, and keep your name off from their papers, or a little contract you have signed may turn up in bank calling for many dollars. Better trade with your own dealer who has accommodated you so often, who will keep repairs for you if anything breaks, or who will take back an article if it does not work. Look out for sharpers.

FOR HER LIFE.
Alio* Mitchell on Trial for Murder at Memphis.
SHE KILLED MISS WARD, HER FRIEND.
Strong Efforts Being Made to Prove the Xoanjr ttdy Insane at the Time of the Murder Her Father's Evidence.
A CELEBRATED CASK.,
MEMPHIS, Tenn., July 19.—On January 26 last Alice Mitchell killed Freda Ward. Monday her case waa brought up in court before Judge Dubose, it being to prove or disapprove her insanity. Dr. Callender, an expert on insanity cases, who was called upon to testify in tho Charles J. Guiteau case after he shot President Garfield, is expected to be the mainstay of the defense, he having during the past few nonths made a most searching exam* ination of Miss Mitchell's case. B« did not, however, testify Monday.
Her Father's Story.
The only witness who testified Monday was George Mitchell, father of the accused. Mr. Mitchell being placed on the stand said he was the father of the defendant and that she was 19 years old. He then testified as to the insanity of the mother of Alice years ago. He said that Alice had manifested some very noticeable peculiarities recently. She would want to stay by herself all the time. She would go to her room and remain there for hours. When there veeft young men around the lv»use Alice would not stay near them. She had always been more like a boy than a gir], and often played marbles. She would shoot a target rifle and adopt other boyish habits. He knew there was an affectionate feeling between Alice and Freda Ward. She signed the name of Freda Ward to receipts for coal last September and when he asked her about it she said she was thinking about Freda Ward so much that she just signed her name to it.
She Stole Ills Razor.-
He missed his razor in Novembor and after the killing of Freda Ward Alice told him that she had taken it. He did not know Alice had killed Freda Ward until an hour and a half after the occurrence. She told liiui that she had killed Freda because she loved her. Freda, ihe said, had gone bank on her. They were engaged to be married. She was very fond of talking about killing Freda Ward. She has Freda Ward's picture in the case of the watch she wore. She never talks as if Freda were dead. Sha uses the present tense in speaking of Freda and does not seem to know she is dead.
Here the witness was turned over to Attorney General Peters. In aswer to questions he said that Alice was not exceptionally bright at school. She could play almost any sort of a musical instrument. She did not read much. She did not care much about books. He had heard since the tragedy that she had eorre.sponded with men who were perfect strangers to her. She frequently went out riding with IWiss Lillie Johnson. He never knew of any engagement between Freda Ward and his daughter Alice or between Alice and any other member of the Ward family. It was 1 o'clock when Mr. Mitchell concluded and the court ad journed until S:30 o'clock this morning.
