| full bung maker, new machine lately
perfected. He explained to the mechan-

making machine, and then explained in
the most satisfactory way how straw
| berries, ice cream, sparkling catawba,
coffee, lemonade, and divers and sundry
olher good things could be produced
from barrel, cask, keg, bottle and ham,
per, with the bung, spigot, faucet and
stopper left out. Speeches worthy Of

whose seat in Council il contested by
the iormer. Mr.. Thos. b. Paxton repre-
sented Mr.. Wolf, and Mr.. l. j. Miller
Mr.. Marks. MIR. Joinville Reife was
called and testified to seeing MIR. Lewis
Bernard, Clerk OF the Board of Improve
ments, who was at the Second Precinct
polls as friend Of Dan. Wolf, doing
some very dishonest work with the bal
lots, while they were being Strengthened
out preparatory to count Of the
scratched votes for Councilman. He
said Mr.. Bernard used his right hand in
smoothing out the tickets. He had a
pencil between his fingers, and allowed
the pencil to make mark over Mr..
Marks name; that man named DON

SAVING OF FIFTY PER CENT.

Aside from its purity and healthfulness,
those who use DR.. Prices Cream Baking Pow
der will save fully fifty per cent, as it requires
one third less powder to same amount OF flour
than any other baking powders in the market
Only two teaspoonfuls II DR.. Prices powder
to quart Of flour is needed to produce the
finest biscuits. cakes, etc. Be certain that DIR.
Prices name is on the box, as unprnciplcd
persons obviously find 1t easier to appropriate
the language Of the label-steai the name-
than initiate the powder. Steele n Price are
the only manufacturers of DR.. Prices Cream
Baking Powder and his Special Flavoring Ex-
tracts.

OF summer resorts, can now be reached
by the Atlantic and Great Western Rail-
road at the rate OF fourteen dollars for a
round trip ticket. The scenery is beau
tiiul, the hotels excellent, and the pure
bracing atmosphere just what the tour
lst desires. All who made the trip last
summer speak in the highest terms Of 1t
in all particulars.

THE advantage OF thorough and ju.
dicious advertising is shown by COM
parison of the rush at W. H. Andrews,
76 and 7S West Fourth street, with the
quietness of houses that never adver-
tise. This was expressly remarked by
a gentleman who called there this morn
INK and was struck by the business ac.
tivity that was noticed in all parts of the
immense establishment.

The Freak of a Turkey Gobbler.

Mr.. John Burkhart, of this county
has male turkey which SONS to be
largely endowed with maternal in
stincts. Some four weeks ago, Mr..
Burkhart dug his potatoes. and after
sorting them left the small ones on
the ground. The turkey gobbler ga
thered a few of the small potatoes
together ana commenced setting ON
them. He was driven off and the po-
tatoes scattered, but he would gather
them up and take his position again.
Finally, Mr.. Burkhart determined
that if he would "set he would
utilize him, and procured dozen hen
eggs which he placed on the ground
in place of the potatoes. The I" COB
bier " took his position on the eggs,
and has been setting for near four
weeks. If he succeeds in Matching
out q brood and takes care of them,
Mr.. Burkhart proposes to bring them
to the fair, as a curiosity.
