Talking I'm HIS Sleep.

One Of the judicial functionaries OF
Bigbyville recently became afflicted with
a monster carbuncle on the back of his
neck, and DIR. Perry gave him fine dose
of morphine, to drown the pain. Under
the influence of the anesthetic, he began
to talk in his sleep. He made his will,
giving to each one of his children one
hundred acres of land and two negroes,
and not red cent TO his wife. He then
started a big bank in Columbia, and
quoted the passage Of scripture, the fox
cs have holes, the birds of the air have
nests ETC., and raising up he added,
'Clayt Moore can't quote that much from
the Bible.' Winding up by singing a
spiritual song.

How astonishingly rare is it that a
traveller meets with guide board on
any of our roads, and yet it is the bound
ell duty of every overseer to have sign
boards along his roads. In riding in a
strange country it is pleasant for one to
feel that he is on the right road. Neat
guide boards at all the important cross

Gasoline.

At meeting of the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen, on the. 23d inst, Mr..
Lumrkins, of Memphis, came forward
and made proposition to light the town
OF Columbia with a new light called
Gasoline, for $500. Messrs. james and
w. J. Andrews made remarks in favor
of the project, they naving subject ed the
gas to the severest scientific tests. VIM.
Wood, Esq, also made few pleasant
remarks in the same direction. The
Mayor appointed committee to inves-
tigate the subject, consisting of James
Akin, J. p. McGaw, T. A. Thompson,
and recommended that the citizens also
have meeting and appoint committee
to confer with the Board Committee.
After the Board adjourned, a number OF
citizens present called F. C. Huntington
to the CHI air, and he appointed COM
mittee, John Baird, A. Barr, Maj. T. Il.
Mckinney. The two Committees met
next morning at 10 o'clock. Col. Black
Thompson made a speech in opposition
to lighting up the town with gasoline.
He said our corporation bonds were now
at par, the streets needed repairing, and
the people would not be willing to pay
additional taxes for even the luxury OF
having the streets lighted up. The
Chairman Of the Committees, JAS. Akin,
was then instructed to report to Mr..
Lumpkin that his proposition was re-
spectfully declined. That the Commit
tees were much pleased with the new
light, but the financial condition of the
corporation would not permit it at pres
ent indulging in such a costly luxury.

citizens of the county, died at his resi-

About week before his death he was
thought to be threatened with apople KY,
and an application was made to the back
of his neck, from which eresypilis en-

Anew Santa Fe Items.

Our Santa Fe correspondent sends us
some interesting items this week. We
are glad to learn that the good people OF
that country still welcome the coming
of the HERALD, and grow brighter when
it comes. The people are busy killing
and saving their hogs, picking and haul
ing cotton, gathering corn ard feeding
stock. The crops are all sorry, especial
ly cotton, of which there is not more
than half a crop The farmers have en-
deavored to amend this loss by fattening
all the hogs possible, feeding away most
of their corn in that way, depending on
the rye and wheat pastures to winter
their stock. They think they are very
shifty people, and pride themselves on
their fine hogs, beeves and mules. Mr..
Daniel j. White is said to have the larg-
est hog in the country; it weighs about
six hundred pounds. Mr.. James Jones
fattened the largest lot of hogs in the
neighborhood, which will add about
two thousand dollars to his store OF
greenbacks this season, besides his
corn, wheat and cotton. Notwithstand-
ing the drouth, the farmers have plenty
to eat, and they have sown more wheat
than was ever sown in that section be-
fore. Santa Fe is not at all Sighted by
the candidates, two of them going there
every day, on an average. We are glad
to learn the candidates who went from
Columbia several weeks ago, were well
treated by the Santa Feians. The mer,
chants, grocers, blacksmiths, shoema.
kers, and carpenters are busy as bees.

ED. HERALD I'm your last issue, I
notice plan for preventing smut in
wheat, as practiced by w. J.sJoNEs. I
can also suggest an infallible plan, which
is, to soak your seed-wheat from sun
down to sun-up, in a strong solution of
blue-stone. Put half pound Of blue
stone in whiskey barrel. Water had
better be warm, in order to melt it. Fill
the barrel with wheat, and sow the next
day. 4 Oil 7o lsa.d sa~ GA 3 si-is
I bought some wheat in the course of
trade, last year, which was SO smutty 1
could not sell it. I saved it to sow, and
soaked it in blue stone, and raised wheat
that had no smut. Nothing but the
seive will. take out cookie and cheat. 1t
does not comport with reason that any
kind of soaking will kill sound kernals
of any kind of grain. If it kills cookie,
it will kill wheat. " Ri z5k"
A word now on the philosophy Of smut.
That is thing which nobody fully I'M
derstands. The grains of smut are fully

inspection they cannot terminate. Then
whence comes fhe smut? If you SOW
wheat that has smut in it, you are sure
to raise smutty wheat, though you take
out every grain of smut, with the seive,
or by washing. Ityou sow clean wheat,
that has never had smut in it, you may
have smut. you soak your wheat IN
blue-stone, you are sure to hare no smut.
If you sow part of a field with soaked
wheat, and the other part with unsoak-
ed, the latter will have smut, and the
former will have none. But the follow
ing is the strangest item of all. II, 'ohe"

is the dust of tho smut lodging on the
sound grains of wheat that makes them
