toll at the Oar, but succeeded in
choosing no representative. At
night, with just nothing accomplish.
ed, the meeting was adjourned to
Wednesday morning, for renewal
OF the contest. The malcontents in
the Republican ranks produced the
difficulty. by casting scattering
votes. Some of these malcOntents
have held office the past year, or arc
up as candidates for office the pres.
ent year, fact which is very singu.
lar to say the least. 1t looks like q
cutting off of a nose to spite the

Does COOKING INJURE THE
HEALTH OF STOCK The world
will never quite get rid of it's old
fogies-those who want to be natur-
al, but have never studied nature.
When fodder shall be cooked to
make it softer and more succulent
than grass, which nature has fur
nished for the animal, then it will do
to inquire whether nature is not VIC
lated in cooking food for cattle. Ma,
ture furnishes grass not dry fodder.
The dry fodder is mans work for
preserving food while grass does
not grow, and if he cooks this soft
and succulent in limitation of grass,
does he run tilt with nature or is
he initiating her?
A farmer always looks forward to
the growth of grass in the spring as
affording all opportunity for his cat
tie to improve in condition and
health, and when he cooks thorough.
ly his winter food, his cattle are
simply kept on grass the year round.
We have kept the same COWS upon
cooked food for fifteen winters, and
found them vigorous at nineteen or
twenty years old.-Lire Stock Jour-

The New York Mail says very
truthtully of the Bounty bill:

"Nothing stood in the way of the
success of this shameless piece of
demagoguery but the courage, good
sense and honesty of the President,
who was n soldier himself, and who
knows how little benefit would ac-
crue to the deserving heroes of the
late war from this scheme for de-
pleting the Treasury and impairing
the national credit. If vote could
be taken to-day ofall the soldiers
who were h0norably discharged AZ
the close of the war. they would.

WESTERN MORTGAGES. Eastern
holders of Western mortgages will
be interested to learn that the bill
introduced in the Illinois legislature
to tax such securities in the hands
of nOn.residents of the State has
been defeated. 1t was an absurd
measure, but with the present alb
surd body of lawmakers in Illinois,
there was no telling what might be
done. The sensible bill providing
for the better protection of outside

come law. The maximum rate of

SUDDEN DEATH.

Did you ever hear Of as many
sudden deaths ? Nearly every pas
per we pick up, this startling an
nouncement in black type stares us
in the face. Only yesterday morn
ing the Atlanta papers had this
heading, announcing the sudden
death Of Col. b. Y. SAGE, formerly
Chief Engineer and Superintendent
of the Air,Line Railroad, who retir>
ed we'll Tuesday night and was
found dead in his bed next morning.
Sudden death is of SO frequent an
occurrence as to be almost a charac-
teristic Of our time. OF course, no
one denies that in every age Of the
world this phenomena of instantan-
eous dying has been present.
Death is a versatile genius, and
comes in hundred different shapes
and modes. With his keen sickle
he reaps the bearded grain at
breath and flowers that grow be
tween. The threads Of life are sun
dered without warning Or pain,
strangely numerous. The bride
hardly dons her wedding apparel,
before she is wrapped in her shroud
for the tomb. Unexpectedly, he
comes, like thief in the night, and
lays his icy hand upon the warm
heart and it ceases TO beat forever.
The terrific emotional expenditures,
Of this fast age, with its excitement,
impetuosity, dissipation, anxiety,
worry, griefs and joys, exhaus.s the
vital force of the American people,
the machinery runs down, and sud-
den death ensues. Remember, it is
not the suddenness of death, but its
pyemat,0eneSS, which is a calamity
$50 live, that when thy summons comes to join
The innumerable caravan, that moves
To that mysterious realm, where each shaI
take
His chamber in the silent halls Of DEATH
Thou 20 not, like the quarry slaves, at night,
Scourgd 10 his dungeon but, sustained, and
soothd
BY an uuE,iteling trust, approach thy grave
Like one that draws The drapery OF his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.
The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1875-06-25
WHY MEN BECOME BALD.

Because they wear close hats and
caps. Women are never bald.
Sometimes from long continued head
ache, heat in the scalp, bad hair
dressing and some other causes, wo-
man may have bare spots here and
there; but with all these combined,
you never see a woman with a bare,
shiny, bald head. And you never
see man lose hair below where the
hat touches the skull. 1t will TAX e
it off as clean as you can shave it
down to exactly that line, but never
hair below, not if he has been bald
fifty years. The common black stiff
hat, as impervious as sheet iron, re-
tains the heat and perspiration
The little hair glands, which bear the
same relation to the hair that the
seed wheat does to the plant above
ground, becomes weak from the pres
ence CT the moisture and heat, and
finally become too weak to sustain
the hair. 1t falls out, and badness
exists A fur cap we have known to
produce complete badness in a sin
gle winter. A man with GOOD head
of hair needs very little protection
where the hair grows. Women who
live much within doors, and who are,
therefore, susceptible to the cold, oil
their hair and plaster it down hard
and fiat upon their skulls, so as to de-
stroy nine tenths of its power as a
non conductor, have worn for years
postage stamps Of bonnets stuck on
the back Of their skulls, and then go
ing out of furnace heated parlors,
have ridden for hours in a very cold
temperature without taking cold and
without complaint.
