SALE OF THE LAURKNs RoAD.-This
monument of the States downward
course was given away, yesterday, at
public auction for the pitiable sum of
S42.50O. The iron on the road is said
to be alone worth double the amount;
and though the State is endorser on the
bonds of the road to the amount of some
$4,000, yet there was no effort made
to protect her interests, and we have
here 500, 600 more added to the already
incalculable public debt. J.L. Neaele.
Comptroller. General, who has already
made his hundreds Of Thousands within
four years, on salary of less than
"a, 600 per annum, is said to be the
happy purchaser, though the bid was
made ostensibly by another.

"TH1s WORKOUT COUNTRY. From
the Southern Home, published at Char
lotte, North Carolina, we clip the follow
ing paragraph. It is not only applicable
to this section, but. to the whole State.
How often have we heard it said that the
Gland is worn-out from long cultivation!"
when by diht Of little energy and per
severance these "worn-out lands,p as
they are called. could be made as pro.
ductive and as valuable asitthey ever
were. Read what little energy will do:
.'Mr. james Hood, of Clear Creek.
tells that ne settled many years ago on
land naturally thin and WORKOUT by long
cultivation in loose way. He has never
used artificial manures, and vet he -esti.
mates that his yield of wheat this wear.
on his orchard, was twenty-five bushels
to the acre. This fact shows the folly of
seeking new country. What is the age
OF our oldest land in comparison with
that of the rich fields of England, which
have been in cultivation over 1000
years, and yet yield each year more
abundantly than the preceding year?"

A SURE CURE FOR THE DYsENTERY.
An old man, who has known hundreds
OF cases of dysentery cured by it, fur
nishes the Atlanta Constitution with the
following remedy:
spoonful or two of pure, raw wheat
flour, thinned with water SO it can be
easily drank. Three or four doses,
taken at intervals of ten or twelve hours,
will cure any case not absolutely chronic;
and from what have witnessed, I feel
| sure it is one of the best remedies in the
world for chronic diseases. TO make
the dose palutable for children, it can be
sweetened and favored with some drops
not acid.
