The oyster season is definitely over,
in despite of the late cold snap, n tine
lunches are becoming the order of the
day in first-class bar-rOoms. Mr.. Vincent
BOtto, recognizing this fact, sets a splen-
did lunch every morning, at the corner OF
Washington and Front Madam Vincent's
old place., from ten till twelve. The same
good liquors, fine cigars, ETC., as OF OLD,
always TO be found at the bar.
An extraordinary mortality prevailed
in a certain negro district OF Georgia re-
GENTLY. It was explained by the follow
ing paragraph which appeared in a local
paper about that time "The farmers of
southwestern Georgia AVE discovered a
plan for preventing hog thievlng. Ihey
feed their hogs on strychnine, giving a
level ~teaspOonfuI to every three hogs at a
time. The strychnine penetrates the
hogs flesh and pOisons it for three weeks
thereafter. If eaten during this time IL ID
fatal"
-By decision Of the Supreme Court, on
/ the 2d dav of February, 1870, 1t is held
that a merchant may deal in tobacco and
cigars, when these articles are kept for
variety, without being considered a cigar
/ or tobacco dealer, as contemplated in the
revenue GIEs IL ala Avn WIS ~
cisiop. no person viii hereafter be re-
quired to take out license as a tobacco or
cigar dealer unless these articles are his
principal trade. The same ruling will
embrace the sale of drugs, when sold by
merchants as an incident to general trade.
The following well deserved tribute
to one of our very best citizens is from
the Iuka Springs Mirror. We indorse
every word of it: 1.-THE gallant Colonel
q ~ RI e,-,.a-1v Of M5gufggfnnf and
now doing business in Memphis, has been
stopping At the Iuka Springs Hotel for
several DAYS. The Colonel was COM
mander, a portion of the war, of the Sew
enteenth Mississippi Regiment. When
the war closed he was in m OF a
Georgia brigade. Colonel +. was one of
the truest and bravest soldiers of our lost
cause. He lost his right arm while leading
to the charge the fOrlorn hope against the
enemies works at Knoxville. Colonel f.
is a man whom we delight to honor"
Yesterday morning, at an early hour,
a well known citizen going TO mass, en-
countered another well known citizen
coming out of a back yard with a basket
on his arm. The basket holder showed
signs fgreat embarrassment on seeing his
old friend, and suddenly remembered
that he had forgotten something in the
house that he was lust leaving (which, by
the wav, was not his OwnI. Looking
back. when about midway the back yard,
he stumbled, and a low wall broke from
the basket, showing there was something
in il hat the carrier would have much
preferred to remain secret. The basket
was carried pack into the house, but the
story leaked out, and we doubt very
much if names and localities can remain
secret very long.
The disinfecting power of water has
been receiving considerable attention of
late. With the exception Of charcoal, 1t Is
said that no other substance is so perfect
an absorbent of OdOrs. 1t absorbs its own
volume of some gases, and more than SIX
hundred times its volume OF others. For
instance, of ammonia gases, which is one
Of the largest products of decomposition,
six hundred and seventy cubic feet is alb
sOrbed by n of water. Another ohen-
sive OdOr. always present where animal
matter is decaying, arises from sulpblde
Of hydrogen. Water aDsorbs two ana a
half times its own volume of this. These
facts are worthy Of remembrance and
practical attention. A quantity OF water
placed in an open vessel in a room, and
changed often, makes an excellent dlsln-
fectant.
1t has become fairly settled as the
only sound method Of c~ultivating the i

plant is concentrated by this means in the
original stock, and it enlarges until as
as a quart of berries have been
pIucked from a single plant. 1t will be
understood that this method is followed
only with such plants as are not raised
with a view of propagation, but are per-
manent varieties, set out for family use.
In order to sell, the runner u be en-
couraged. After all the endless list of
varieties which have been extOlled as the
best, the Wilson retains its position as the
best market berry. Much will be found
to depend Onthe nature of the soil and the
mode Of cultivation. Before the plants
are IN bloom in the early spring, the ap-
plication of liquid manure will be found
Of great value.
