CEASE COMPOUND has acquired really an en-
vable reputation; in fact, it has met with I'M
precedented success. Never has there been 6
medicine before the people that has given such
universal satisfaction Those who once use.i
will not be without it. ALI look upon it as a
blessing in time of afHiction, and children who
can but lisp its name call for it when they are
suffering with aches and pains. They have the
evidence of hundreds of our best citizens, who
claim for it as a family medicine that it has no
equal, and we advise all who are suffering from
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, or aches and pains Of
any kind to try it, as it will surely give imme-
diate relief. 1t is also highly spoken of by
those who have used it in cases of Bruises,
Sprans, Sore Throat, &c. 1t is a home medi-
cine and a home enterprise, sand worthy the at
tention of those who stand in need Of good
family medicine. Read few of these cert:f-

ltTLuAliAD
Since our last weeks report there has
been considerable excitement in breadstuffs
in all the leading markets of the world.
Wheat advanced 10 per cent. in Liverpool
in England, the floods in France, and
unfavorable accounts from Germany, re-
presenting the grain to be in bad condition.
Upon these advices most of the surplus
taken on foreign account and, whereas the
advance in Liverpool was only 10 per
cent, prices advanced in New York and
Chicago Is per cent-being much greater
in proportion than the foreign advices
justified Consequently there has been
some reaction in New Y ork and Chicago
the last report showing decline in these
cities of from to cents per bushel on
wheat. The stock of old wheat though,
shows large deficit compared with the
amount on hand last year; Chicago having
only a surplus Of 100000 bushels Il gainst
1000, 900 last year which may keep the
market firm, if the failure of Duncan.
Sherman & Co., in New York, doesn't
lead to other failures, which shall break
the market down at all Pc ints.
The rains in this county have material
" damaged the crop and farmers have had
no weather suitable for threshing, conse-
quentIy very little wheat las been offered
hardly enough to establish market.

Our friends of the Baptist Church
will have an entertainment on Tues
day night, May the 18th, for the
benefit of their church. The ladies of
our city are making extensive prcpa
rations in order that the affair may
prove a success. The entertainment
will consist of music and charades,
and an elegant supper. The price
of admission to both will be but sew
enty-fivc cents, children under
twelve years of age forty cents. No
extra charges, except for ice cream,
which can be had at fifteen cents
per saucer. We hope the affair will
he a success. The public has not
been solicited for many years to
assist the Baptist Church, and we
trust that a generous patronage will
be extended on this occasion, the
object of which is to raise the means
to make necessary repairs to the
church building. Let everybody
turn out.

The Picnic at Madison.

How wonderful and marvellous is
the way by which God day by day
surrounds us, his fallen creatures,
with mercics and joys. The latter
was ours in its fullest sense on the
LIST of May. At nine o'clock the
excursion train from Jackson arriv-
at tho railroad gate of Mrs. A. j..
Montgomery, where previous ar
rangcments had been made for the
reception of the Gen" Fire Com
pany, who brought with them cv-
erything to make pic-ni complete
from an infant up to cannon. We
almost felt that twas National day
to hear the reverbci atoms through
the rustic woodland. The brass
band with its joyous strains added
merriment to the festive scene. In
the golden flood of light, canopied
by heavens bright blue arch, the
very leaves and branches danced in
the brilliant sunshine. All hearts
fllle,l with hope and the brightest
anticipa:ions this gala day. When
the gay crowd had mingled and OK
changed the greetings of the day
the string band reminded US that
our pleasure had just begun. Dane
ing and promenading filed up the
hours till dinner was announce d,
which had been provided by the
Jackson la,lles, and was sumptuous
and elegant. All present. believe,
did full Justice. Ia addition were
strawberries, ice cream and soda
water in abundance.
Madison Station and adjourning
neighborhoods were well represent
cd. The Misses NJ, who entertained
in the most charming manner with
dignity and sprightliness, won the
admiration of all. The Misses L.,
with vivacity rarely seen, caused
Jackson hearts to pulsatc with u
rapidity not felt before. Not only
was the verb love-" corrugated,
but politics discussed, and even agri-
culture with all its uncertainties,
the ladies showing a decided prefer
for Miuct. And when the Sunburst
upon them in all his grandeur they
retired to the rural shades. Aud
from the tete a tetes, observed some
contested in a most Sauage manner,
ending however in amicablo adjust
ment, the clouds passed and the
Sun enuits his rays on the happy re-
united hearts, for lovers quarrels
are more easily overcome than to
besicgc Florence or attack France.
Livingston, too, lent enchantmcnt
to our happy day. Her fairest daugh-
tiers and sons compared favorably
with any on tho ground. And when
the evening shadows warned us that
the day was fast departing, the
I" Gem" shouIdcred his cannon and
with three cheers for Madison de-
parted with, we sincerely hope, a
kindly feeling for all.

Spelling Revival.

In erder to sustain the interest so
recently manifested by our young
men in the praise-w"rthy study of
orthog raphy, we would call for an
other exhibition of strength in the
Odd Follows Hall. In addition to
class for advanced boys of the
Casscll and Ford grade, let us have
an photographic fence between the
pupils of .he Collegiate and High
Schools. And to call u2 every inter-
est in the proposed match we would
suggest the following conditions:
The contest not to come off I'M
til the LIST of June, with the view to
afford the young tyros sufficient
time to read up their Webs,er's
abridged.
TO insure a correct Judgment, not
only of the relative proficiency of
each pupil, but OF each class, we
would have fifty most difficult words
selected from the text book referred
to, and dictated TO the boys who
should be required to write them in
ink. a written examination is the
surest and best test of ability.
To stimulate the competition to
the fullest extent possible, we
would have Webster's Unahr.d Jed
awarded to the best speller in
the successful school, and for the
big boys,a standard classical diction
airy. The net proceeds of the Ell
tertainment to be handed 10 the
teacher of the successful school,
and to be expended in any way he
shall deem best calculated TO make
his pupils happy.
We understand that the pupils of
the Collegiate School cvincc will
lingncss to enter the lists.
Should these conditions meet with
the favor of those to whom they arc
addressed we will take great pleas
ure in reporting the same in our
next issue.
