Some excellent acting was recently
brought into the monotony of Russian
camp maneuver. A sham fight was ar
ranged, and to drill the ambulance corps
certain ones who were ticketed we're or
dered to fall as if wounded with greater
or less severity. The combat was car
ried out according to programme. The
ambulance men advanced and began to
pick up the sufferers. The wounds of
each one, as indicated by the ticket at
tached to the body, we're carefully ex-
amined and the proper remedies were
promptly administered. One of the
soldiers, however, received instructions
which justified him, as he thought, in
giving up the ghost. Those who we're
taking care of the wounded were sur
prised to find that he gave no signs Of
life, and Immediately called an officer
for consultation. The officer asked the
man what allied him, but received no
reply. A physician was then called,
under whose direction water was thrown
in the wounded mans face, but without
the desired result. Finally, the signal
sounded for the close of the exercises,
whereupon the dead man jumped up as
well as ever, In reply to the questions
which were put to him, he said that he
had done nothing but what seemed to
him the severity of his wounds required
him to do.

The Lesson Of Life.

OF all the lessons that humanity has
to learn, the hardest is to learn to wait.
Not to wait with folded hands then
claim life's prizes without previous ef-
forts, but, having struggled and crowd
ed the slow years with trials, see no re-
suit that effort seems to warrant-nay,
perhaps disaster instead. To stand firm
at such a crisis of existence, to preserve
ones self-poise and self-respect, not to
lose or relax effort-this is greatness,
whether the eye of the world notes it is
recorded i'm the book which the light of
eternity shall alone make clear to the
vision. Those who stand on the high
place of the earth understand not ne
cessity, what suffering means. They
know not what it is for noble soul to
be Obliged like a worm to crawl upon
tbe earth for nourishment, because il
has not the strength to endure famine
Life moves around them with so much
grace, splendor, and beauty; they drinl
Iife's sweetest wine, and dance charm
ing intoxication. They find nothing
within them to understand the real suf
ferings of the poor; they love onl!
themselves, and look at mankind only
in their narrow circle.

Meeting in Nashville.

twas announced in the Farmer for a
week or two that there would be Dem
ocratic-Liberal Republican meeting
here on the 9th at O'Clock P. N. Two
prominent speakers were to be
present. They came. There were but
four men on the street and these were
Radicals. 1t was a poor show. Two
O'Clock was approaching. The speakers
went to the saloon. When 10! and be-
hold. they could procure no "steam."
Here was dilemma. No crowd. No
steam. No pole. No nothing. But a
perfect fizzle.
A fervent damn was pronounced up
on the town, and the orators lett it, sad
der, and it is to be hoped wiser men.
This all happened before O'Clock.
Some time after few of the faithful
came into town bringing sleek hick-
ory pole. Disappointment awaited
them.
A hole was dug. With
the aid of Radicals they managed to
raise the pole. Three very feeble cheers
were given for Greeley and Brown.
Each then quietly returned to his home,
some of them satisfied that they had
elected the entire ticket. A Radical re-
marked to a Greeleyite: "That was
fine speech" A s,nothered curse was
his only reply. f-7.- at-a- -a-H"a

The Sprague Mower.

Foremost among the Mowers of the
country, we find the Sprague, which is
warranted to give satisfaction as to
strength, durability, quality of work
and lightness of draft. 1t has been
gobbling up the premiums wherever it
has been exhibited. 1t was on exhibi-
tion at our county Fair, where it at
tracted much attention, and was much
admired for its simplicity and its easy
management. A small boy can raise
and lower the cutter-bar with ease, so
conveniently is it arranged. Among its
peculiar advantages we find it construct
ed of iron and steel, without any wood
work except the pole and its attach
ments. The machine weighs but six
hundred pounds, and is one of the light
est, and by its construction, one of the
strongest and most effective machines in
use. The lever for throwing the ma
chine in and out of gear, is worked en-
tirely with the foot, leaving the hands
of the operator at liberty. J. E. Dun
can is the authorized agent for Holmes
county.

The market was exceedingly hard tor
owners of common and medium cattle
from the opening until the close, though
it was no worse than was generally eX-
pected; the average quality was very
common, the great bulk of the offerings
consisting of the lower grades, hence,
good butch cattle, in consequence of
very light supply, sold readily, and
were closed out early in the day at full
prices, while common and medium
opened fiat and dragged all the way
through and closed with good many
left over unsold. Butchers, apparently
for some reason or other, were not as
anxious for stock as usual, we presume
that they have some In their pens left
from last week, and drOvcrs were all
agreed in reporting the market as having
been one of the meanest of the season.

Look to Your Interest.

It is an absolute fact, that all good
and successful business men advertise
literally. The man who has not busi-
ness enough to afford to tell the people
of the fact, and apprise them from
time to time of the fresh arrivals he is
receiving, is far behind his enterprising
neighbors, and is not the man for you
to patronize if you wish to purchase the
latest and best goods, at the lowest fig
ures. Look at the advertising columns
of your local paper if you would see
who it is that keeps the best and cheap
est goods, and does the business.

was $4,000, which was lost by 35 votes

are bound to have the railroad at any
rate. For our part we cannot see why
any one should vote against the rail-

much benefit to the county.

If you have been picking or handling
any acid fruit and have stained your
hands, wash them in clear water, wipe
them lightly, and while they are yet
moist strike a match and shut your
hands around it so as to catch the smoke,
and the stain will disappear. If you
stain your muslin or gingham dress, or
your white pants, with berries, before
wetting the cloth with anything else,
pour boiling water through the stains
and they will disappear.

than any of their previous meetings

ever, was, only a rehash of the old things
