IMPORTANT TO FARMERS.
Thos. b. NIcconaughey's
PATENT CORN DROPPER.

THIS Droppcr will positively save
l. one-half the time over the old way
of dropping corn.
1t will drop right in the cross.
1t can be set to average any number
of grains desired TO hill.
1t can be regulated to scatter the
corn more or less in the hill, or drop
it all in close bunch if desired. In
windy weather this Droppcr is just the
thing needed, as the corn cannot be
blown about while dropping.
All who have used these DropperS
agree in the opinion that the corn
comes up more regularly after them,
and there is less re-planting to do, be-
cause they drop more regular number
of grains to a hill, and every grain is
sure to he in the cross, where they are
covered alike.
Every Dropper will be warranted to
do all that is herein claimed for them,
or they will be taken back and the
money refunded.

AFFRAY AT THE MONUMENTAL HOTEL
On Saturday afternoon two white men,
named Radcliffe and Davis, entered the
bar-room of the Monumental Hotel in
company with mulatto named Gum, and
demanded to take drink together. The
barkeeper refused to allow them to do so ;
but they insisted, and Mr.. Scammon (the
barkeeper) succeeded in putting them out
of the room. A difficulty then occurred
between Davis and Scammon, in which the
latter is said to have come out second best.
The whole party then attacked Scammon,
but he was able to hold his own. The
affair will be investigated at the Mayors
Court this morning.
