Couldn't Stand Teasing.

One day last week greenhorn came to the
Cumberland Foundry asking for employment,
having enjoyed surfeit of leisure. Not know
ing any one in the establishment, he applied to
one of the workmen, a mischievous fellow, who
kecnly relishes joke, and he sent him to a fell
low workman, who sent him to another and so
in turn to all, until the chap had made the cir
cult of all hands.
By this time he was rather iratc, and seeing
this, one of the apprentice boys told him he
could come around next day and 80 to cutting
sand that is preparing it by mixing it again
for blasting, thinking to get rid of him. But
not so. Grceney took him at his word and
was on hand early the next day. He did
not continue long, however, for the men were
rather pointed in their iocular illusions toward
him, and before dinner he left madden than be-
fore.
As he did not return for several days, the cir
cumstance was almost forgotten, when a day or
two ago he returned and began denouncing the
unknown in rough terms, when becoming angry
one of them, Steve Rockwell went for him,
the fellow showing Eght trying to use repeat
er he had in his hand but Steve was too active
and taking the weapon administered sound
drubbing which the amateur moulder will not
soon forget.

dyspepsia, nervous debility, liver complaint,
periodical fcvers, rheumatism and constitutional
weakness. The unpretending name given to
the specific was Plantation Bitters. The state
ment attracted the attention of invalids every
where The new remedy received fair trial,
and the results more than confirmed all that had
been said in its praise Thenccforward it was
grand success. The business columns of the
press spread the glorious news far and wide,
and the martyrs to indigestion, biliousness, ply
slcai prostration and premature decay, as if by
common consent sought relief from the new
vegetable restorative. They found ,chGt they
sought From that time to the present the in
crease IN the demand for Plantation Bittcrs has
been one OF the most striking events in this
age.
The road to prosperity is by advertising.

* HORSES AND MULES.

HORSES AND MULES.
The market is if possible fatIer than for the
week previous, with but little inquiry, and the
Georgia market fully supplied. Holders ask as
much far horses here rs they will bring at At
lanta after paying expenses of transportation,
and the only local sales we can reasonably ex-
pect are those to fill possible orders or the few
animals that may change hands when the pur-
chase Is absolutely necessary for farm use.
MULES
are as dull sale as horses both here and in the
Southern market and with the large stock in
Georgia, East Tennessee dealers would not re-
main awaiting advance, only that their money
is already invested, and they are forced to do so
to save themselves.
a marked Improvement was noticeable in our
cattle market during the past week. both in the
number and quality of the cattle sold; yet we
look forward to still larger sales in the next few
weeks. We have heard of some shipments
during the week, and others will speedily fol-
low. The demand continues good both for
city consumption and shipment and No. l
fat cattle meet with ready sales. We
noticed several lots of fine cattle sold last
week: One lot of eighteen head, sold by
Mr.. j. Waters to Messrs. FAM 81 Jones, de-
serves particular mention. Another lot sold by
"e.S NOhiSiNSAS0 6NONi
Anderson Knott, Esq. sold one COW which
crossed ,295 pounds. The total number sold
during the week was sixty-ive head, at an av-
erage gross weight of 90l4 pounds each. We
quote the ruling figures as follows:
No. l fat cattle 3!a4c.; good beef cattle
3a3!c.; ordinary beef cattle, 2la3c.
.F#... ... HOGS.
But few hogs have been offered on foot
during the past week, but we noticed
good many sold from wagons net We have
heard of no shipment up to the present. The
demand, however, continues good, But II
head were sold last week. averaging 2l1 pounds
each.
QUoTATIoNs.-No l fat hogs, Hall. Good
hogs, 34a4. ..r.....
HAY.-A large amount of hay has been sold
i'll our market the past week, and with but few
exceptions at 500 per cwt. The demand, how.
however, Is not so good, owing to the fact
OF pretty good supply is in the city
We do not look for any decrease in the price
as but little hay remains to be brought in, anC
farmers are unwilling to sell for less than 81
The amount sold on Market Square last weel
was 60,2j0 pounds.

We value the advice of WINS on anything
about printing office or newspaper very high

counsel on religious subjects. But waving our
Judgment we give the following " Recipe for

a thoughtful, genuine prayer, and a short one:

about the attributes which He possesses Keep
your long prayers for your closet Be cautious
about the number of times in which YOU pro.
