V Chubb-is anlmfnrtunate man.
Heris bald, and he uses some "rendva-
ter" every,nigl!t' before going to bed.
for the pnrposs !of making his. hair
grow. He forgot it on Wednesday un-
til after he was in bed, and then he
rose, and as },e knew just where the
bottle was, lie thought, it, was hardly,
worth while to strike a light. He
gr0peh around in the closet. until Ire
found the bottle, and pouring out some
of the stuff into his hand, he rubbed
his scalp wellswith it ;Safter doing this
q second tiftle, he put, the bottle back
aud went to bed. Dining the night
the baby got to crying, and Mrs. Chuhb
rose and lit the gas; as soon as she did
s8ishe glanced atlGlrul,b and began to
scream. He woke and tried TO rise,
but found his head held firmly to the
bolster. Then Mrs. Chuhb screamed
loRder than ever. Chubb, in serious
alarm, jumped ont of bed, carrying the
bolster with him in his aruIs. As he
CAME opposite the mirror he perteited
that his head vas perfectly black, and
NJ ON milking an examination, he found
that He had rubbed his seal p with his
wiftRs shoe rarnish. ut was dry and
hard, anti immorahly fixed to the hdl-
ster- case. He,in,s not been ont of fIie
house since. He soaks his head Three
times day il warm water. and has
still patches Of, black distributed all
over it, like oascs in the desert. Dut
this doseti't,woiry Mrs Chnbt az much
as the condition of the bolster case.
That is ruined. It Ind to be cut away
to give Chubb freedom.

CROPS IN JACKSON COUNTY.
SUNDAY, JULY l2,ls74.

From tn Murphy,boro lndopcndcnt.l
Owing to tho yer; dry aud hot wealth
or the outlook Of Jackson county is a
little dark just now. Corn is twisted
and stunied in its growth, and if we
are not favored with a rain within the
coming ten days, the crop Of corn and
potatoes, like the oats, will be gen.
eral failure in this county. Grave ap.
prehcnsions are entertained for the wei
fare Of those farmers who have no
wheat aud are depending upon corn
and potatoes. The wheat crop hiss all
been harvested and portion Of it
thrcshed, the yield Of which is the
largest produced in the county for a
number Of yeor'. Owingt to the low price
offered wheat Is being stacked Theiruit
that up to the present looked SO pro-
missing, will not prove 50 good; this
fact considered with farmers being
forced to stack the wheat, will re,aid the
better times expected here in Septcm
Der, which will probably not reach Us
this year before the first day Of Octo.

Charles Blanchard Instantly
Killed.

We are called upon once more to
record a shocking accident in our
midst, One which cannot fail to
chill the blood of the most hard
hearted. Mill accidents have been
OF frequent occurrence, but when
they result in the death Of some
one or more of our Oldest citezens,
the shock seems doubly terrible.
On Monday evening, this week.
the grind stone at the mill Of Ma
son, Luce & Co. was in operation,
grinding feed, and Charles Blanch-
ard was at the stone, attending to
the bagging, when the engineer,
hearing q rafting Of something,
stopped the machinery. This at
tractcd the attention Of son o.
: Mr.. Blanchard, who was at work
, in one of the bins, and looking on
TO ascertain the cause Of the stop
page, discovered his father lyin
upon the floor, dead. From som
unknown cause the stone had burst
flying into many pieces, shiverini
boards and timhers on all sides, an
large portion striking the unfor
innate man on the left side, KILN
, him instantly.
Mr.. Blanchard was an old res
dent OF this city, and has for lon
time been connected in some wa
. with our numerous saw mills. II
h leaves quite large family, most
:; grown mp children.

Laundering.

Notwithstanding the quietness OF
~ the lumber markets, there will
this winter, lie full supply OF
logs put into the streams in TINS
section. Daring the season OF nav
isation just closed, our lumher'nen
have been quite successful in dis
posing of their lumber at the vari-
Gus markets, and spurred on by
the result of the seasons sales, the
iohbers have gone into the WOODS
with n full determination to cut o
sufficient amount of logs to run all
the mills to their utmost capacity
next season. Not only Is this the
case here. hut it is equally true Of
nearly all the numbering districts
and II we can believe the reports
which come from the great lumber
markets, the results will be ny nc
means satisfactory.
/ The yarl dealers In all quarter
have repeatedly expressed strong
|, desire that the winter cut shoulc

next. A large attendance Of our
citizens is requested.

We are pleased to learn that Mr..
E. Kelsey has inaugrated move
ment toward the making of a skat-
ing rink in this city. The use of
the ground on which the band stand
is situated has been secured, and
the project seems TO meet with uni-
versalfavor among our people. The
hailding will be large and sub
stantial one, and it heing in a ia
vorable locality, cannot he other
wise than success. Active pre-
parations are now being made, and
If properly encouraged, the work
will be pushed vigorously forward
This will be a source Of amusement
for our people during the long and
quiet months of closed navigation
and have q tendency to make tn,
dull season pass more lively thar
during previous winters, when ou
public amusements have been en-
tirely shut out as soon as naviga
ton was closel. Encourage tn
undertaking, AMI when the work j
; completed, go and enjoy yourselvC
to your hearts content.

be q light one, that they might,
during another season, be enabled
to diminish the large stocks they !
now hold, and for the further pur-
pose Of increasing, If possible, the
prices of lumber, which, should
the supply be a limited one, could
certainly be accomplished, and
would prove beneficial to both the
manufacturer and the dealer; while
on the other hand, if the markets
are OVERSIZE, Ike |, it must have a
tendency to decrease prices.
1t is by no means DESTROYS that
the prices of this great product
should fall be ow what they are at
present, but on the contrar =, it is,
and should be, of the greatest i'm
portance to lumbermen that the
prices should have an upward ten
dency, which can only be obtained
by shortage in the supply.
Although the shipments from this
port have been very large for the
last two months, and by no means
small for the entire season, there
now remains on our docks about
100000 feet Of lumber to be car
ried over for shipment another sea
son. Besides this, some 25,00O,00C
feet of logs are in the river, lef
for next years cut. Add to this
some $4,000, 900, or more, that viii
be put in this winter, and the re
o suit is that the supply is as large q
T that of former years, and quit
o sufficient to keep the mills in activ
/ operation during the summer, an
