Hardware Stock
FOR SALE AT COST.
A Rare Opportunity offered
to any one desiring to go
into the Hardware
BUSINESS.

TINE COMPREHENSIVE BETWEEN THE
Il undersigned having expired by limitation, we
have determined TO close our business, and now
offer our entire Stock of Hardware, which is
very complete in every Department, both IN
light and hesvy articles, selected and bought for
this trade, at the low prices that ruled before
the recent advances in Hardware. This stock
cost at least from % TO 80 per cent below what
the class of goods can now be imported or pur-
chased from manufacturers for. Our location is
one OF the best in the city, No. % Broad street
an old established Hardware HOu'e, and the on
" one on the street. 1t has large, well estab-
lshed and lucrative trade.
Our desire is to sell the entire Stock, with the
privileges of the location, to party desiring 10
90 into the Hardware Business in Nashville, ana
our terms are so low that no better opportunity
can be offered to purchase and continue safe
and profitable business.
Pending this announcement, we will sell from
this date at cost for cash to Country Mer-
chants who desire to renew their Stocks of Hard
ware, to Builders, Carpenters, Blacksmiths and
all others wanting anything in the Hardware
line. Having determined to close our business
at once, and meaning what we say by selling at
cost for cash, purchasers will find it greatly to
their interest to give us call without delay
Our stock being purchased at prices greatly be-
low the present advanced rates, this is an oppor-
tunity seldom offered for buying cheap Hard
ware.
We would say to our old friends and patrons
that our wish to close our business at once,
makes it necessary that those indebted TO US
should come forward and settle Immediately
We have no disposition to collect our dues by
law, and should regret to have to place accounts
in the hands of an officer for collection, but viii
be compelled to do 50 unless settlements are
made at once. We trust this notice viii be suti-
Gent, as we mean that our business must be
closed at once.

But half Of that are sowin' was altogether in vain;
For he was always stOppin an gems of poetry drop

CONDITION OF THE WOOL
MARKET.

The present condition of the wool market
ID an unfortunate one. Such thing as re-
liable quotations, and fair market price for
wool cannot be said to exist. This is not
due to any excess or scarcity Of the article,
or to any legitimate relation Of the supply to
the demand, but simply and solely to the
line of action which the manufacturers Of
woolen goods in this country have seen prop
er to adopt. 1t appears to make but slight
difference whether the supply of wool is
abundant or meagre, the woolen manutac-
turers Of the United States Invariably bring
pressure upon the market as soon as the
new clip Of each season commences to move,
with the purpose Of establishing prices on
basis fixed by themselves and without the
slightest reference to the legitimate and nat
ural conditions which should determine these
matters As soon as new wool makes its
appearance in the market, these gentlemen
Immediately refuse to purchase at what they
know to be fair prices, and not few of them
use foreign wool in preference to domestic,
even at higher prices, with the view of check
ing the legitimate demand of the home mar
ket, aud forcing holders to make concessions
from what the fair market price should be.
This is the programme in mNny past seasons
That II results in many holders of wool be-
coming discouraged aAd selling their products
at low prices, there can be no question. But

Our friend Walter Elder has been exam
lining large collection of catalogues of lead
ing dealers in bulbs, of this country and of
Europe, and reports that there are an un-
usual number of rare kinds offered this year.
He adds:
October is the best month to plant all the
hardy species in open ground, and the more
tender species for parlor and glasshousc cul-
ture. They all thrive in rich and fertile soil.
They are not only all beautiful of blossoms,
but many are delightfully."- fragrant. No

ALDERNEY BUTTER.

As the business of the section for % or 30
miles around Philadelphia is undoubtedly the
dairy-butter, milk or cheese, think we
should continually keep the subject befo re
the people, through the pages ofthe Prdcti-
cal Farmer. A butter dairy suits me the
best and | have not only tried to have
the best cows myself, but visit my neighbors
see what they are doing, and also keep an eye
on the markets. Some farmers get far more
than do, and in fact the price of good but
ter varies from 20 cents up to 81 per pound.
No other market production varies so much
in price as butter. Certain brands seem to
sell readily at high figures, which really be-
ieve are no better than my own--and after
a large amount of tasting and examining
(being good judge Of butter myself, and
only being able to eat a strictly prime arti-
cle,) have concluded that pure Alderney
butter has taste of its oloa, and that your
good people Of Philadelphia are not used to
III, auu 10 not uJ ufst ike ".
There are two prominent elements in mil
oil and casein-the latter being the essen :
tial ingredient in cheese. In the mil k of
many cows this caseilspredomiuates, does not
separate readily from the oil, the ingredient
of butter, and when churncd together gives a
certain cheesy taste to it. Then again, of my
ownknowledge, many farmers use annato or
other artificial coloring matter, all the time,
both winter and summer.
Prime butter, contend, is made from the
pure oil of milk, free from all coloring mat
ter and from all casein. Nothing is more
healthy than such butter and it is healthy
and nutritious even for an infant. Now it is
admitted all around, so far as l know, that
Jerseys and Guernseys have less foreign mat.
ter in their milk than any other breed. Their
butter requires no coloring, summer or win
ter-and while they would be very unproft :
able in cheese factory, or in milk dairy,
contend they are just the breed for those
whose taste appreciates pure butter made
from pure cream.
l advise my neighbOrs to select Alderuey
COWS and their crosses,-having some expert
ence that this kind of butter will ultimately
work its way among our wealthy classes who
are willing to pay for prime article, even
though at first they may not like it, The
quality differs little from what people are
used to, but never lose customer after
the Alderney butter has been tried three
times.-R. j., Ia Practical Farmer.

ing the winter months, under proper manage
ment, its gay aud brilliant colored foliage
tends greatly to beautify the conservatory,
and in summer, where il thrves, it is one Of
the most useful and ornamental Of bedding
plants. lu England il is one of the most
popular plants for edgings, borders and msr-
ginal circles. In most localities in this coun-
try it does not thrive on account of our hot
sun--hence can be priced only for pot culture.
Since it was first brought to notice many 9TH
er varieties, such as Lucy Grieve, Sunset,
Monitor, Meteor, all Of which possess more
brilliantly marked foliage, have been intro
doccd. All of these varieties, however, lack
thriftiness of habit. and Mrs. Pollock being
good grower, still holds the first place among
the eri.cOlors. Much has been said concern
ing its culture. We have found it to four
ish in any light, rich, well drained soil.
The plants should have an abundance Of light
and not too much water. Two or three
plants grown in large pot form beautiful
ornament for the parlor or sitting ROOM"

LAMPAS.

The symptoms of this imaginary disease

food. 1t is most common in young horses !;

ngly. 1t is true the animal has recovered
his appetite by the time the effects of the
burn have passed away, but 50 it would have
done, had not hot iron been cruelty employ
ed. The fact is, the young animal is then
cutting molar tooth, and day OF two hav-
ing elapsed, all the fever and pain occasionod
by the process would have been over. No
man should allow his horse to be burnt for
the lampas. It's torturing, an idle, aud a
wanton operation, and tends rather to do
harm than good.
