Emigration of Negroes to Kansas and
Mississippi.

The Nashville Banner says: A heglra OF
negroes has set in for Kansas and MlSsls-
sippi. To some extent the drought OF
last season is suggested as the cause OF
this sudden exodus from locality where
wheat promises q bountiful harvest this
spring. If the drought is the real cause
of their departure, it would appear that
they are emigrating to country when
suffered far greater plaques last year. In
Kansas and Nebraska the chinch bugs be-
gan the devastation, drought came on,
and was followed by the plague OF the
grasshoppers, which finished up the work
of devastation to perfection. The people
of Tennessee did succeed in saving some
thing, though in certain localities they
were greatly damaged. While 1t can
hardly be denied that in some of the farm
ing districts much suffering has ensued.
vet no one has as yet, as we have been
informed, died from starvation.
If they can better their condition IN
Kansas, and we believe they cannot, we
do not know that much objection should
be urged. Those who emigrate to Mis-
issippi will get into a somewhat warmer
climate; but they ought TO remember that
Mississippi, for the most part, has TO i'm
port its grain and prOvender, and that they

will be able to realize the profit of their
labor.
About 800 blacks, coming from Giles,
Maury and Rutherford counties, passed
through here via the Northwestern Road
Friday, for Kansas. 1t is said that hun
dreds more will follow them, but will di-
vide. some going to Mississippi and others
to Kansas.
Two colored ministers from Rutherford
County were in the city yesterday. They
stated that not less than 1000 negroes in
that county were contemplating departure
for the West and South.
The most harmful result to follow so
great an exodus of farm labOrers is in the
possibility of not getting all the wheat
harvested.
The only means of supplying the loss OF
labor will be the encouragement of the
immigration of white laborers and farm
ers from other States. To do this every
inducement should be held out to pro-
mote an influx of whites from the North
ern States and Europe.

Disappearance of the Oak.

Oak timber is rapidly disappearing from
Europe, although half of the area Of Swe-
den, One-fourth that of Norway, one-sixth
that of Switzerland, and $50, 600 square
miles in European Russia are said to be
vet in forest. The consumption of oak in
France has doubled during the last fifty
years; she requires 100000 cubic feet
yearly for wine casks alone, 100000 cubic
feet for building purposes. 100000 cubic
feet for her fleet and 10000 cubic feet for
railway cars; GS00.000 worth of slaves
were imported in 1926; e5,000,000 worth
are now needed. Since losing Alsace and
Lorraine France contains l50, 000.0O acres;
100000 of this surface is covered with
forest. In Norway the Administration of
Forests declares that it is necessary to
stop the cutting of timber. Holland and
Belgium are nearly denuded of timber,
and are large importers. North Germany
is rich in forest, but within half century
has begun to cut down young trees. Aus
tria has sold her forests since railways
have been introduced. In Italy no forests
remain. Spain and Greece are almost
woodless. The southern coasts of the
Meditel ranean are almost forestless.
Wood. for all purposes of construction, is
becoming scarcer and dearer in all parts
of the United States yearly. In the Do
minion of Canada it is yet abundant,
though rather farther to seek.

AMERICAN WOMEN.-lt is melancholy
fact, that American women have degener-
ated in point of health and physique, UNI
til they have become literally race of in
yalids. How sad it is to look around us
and compare the frail and effeminate look
ing lady of to-day with the hale, hearty
and buxom ladies of days gone by. To
all such the late discovery of DR.. WALK
Err, of California, which is known as VIM
EGAR BIrTERs, is priceless boon indeed:
For this class of diseases it is certain and
safe. and any lady, old OF. young, can take
it with entire confidence in the result, and
thus avoid what to thousands is a stum-
bling block never overcome, VIA con-
sultation with a family physician. Ills
true there may be cases of years standing,
that will necessitate more powerful treat
ment. but in nine cases out of ten this
remedy will reach the disease, and after a
little time effect cure. The number OF
ladies cured by it are numbered by thous-
ands. and are scattered through every
State in the Union.

Boys and "Bumble" Bees.

Did you ever undertake to break up a
humble bees nest? Three boys tried il
yesterday with disastrous results. They
got long rods and made an attack on the
nest, which was located short distance
from railroad track. In a minute out
came the bees, and the boys started off on
a run. One of them stubbed his toe and
fell, with his head on the rail of the track,
leaving his person exposed through an
aperture in his blue cottonade pants,
through which three bumble-bees stung
him till he howled. The other boys ran
and yelled Justify, as the bees buZzed
around their ears, and stung them in re-
turn for breaking up their home. The
wounds inflicted through the hole In those
blue pants will keep that boy from sitting
down with any comfort for fortnight,
and the ears of the other boys have been
enlarged to the size of burdock leaves

A Centenarian's Birthday.

Mrs. Mary White, Of Braintree, Mass,
completed her Tooth year on Thursday,
18th ult. Mrs. White is able to count chill
dren, grandchildren, great-grandchildren,
and great-great grandchildren among her
numerous descendants. Five generations
sat down together to tea in her house on
Thursday. She still retains her faculties
to a remarkable degree, and although rath-
er feeble of late, still enjoys a good share
of health. Her memory in particular is
represented to be especially strong, and
she is as much interested in the current
news of the day, and converses upon its
various topics, from the grasshopper
plague to the ice embargo, with as much
correctness and interest as person of hall
her years.

Ingenuity Of a Rogue.

A capillary correspondence was recent
ly attempted between notorious Partisan
in durance vile and his comrades outside.
The prisoner was sent letter from his IL
ance, containing lock of hair wrapped
in the leaf of book. The .jailor did not
consider the gift important enough to be
delivered, but after a few days came a
similar Enclosure, and vet another. This
aroused suspicion, and the governor took
the matter in hand. He examined the
leaf of the book; it was only that of
common novel, twenty-six lines on page
Then he studied the hair, and noticed the
small quantity of the gift. Counting the
hairs he found them of equal length, and
twenty-six in number, the same as the
lines of the page. Struck with the coin
cidence, he laid the hairs along the lines
of the page which they respectively
reached, beginning at the top with the
smallest hair. After some trouble, he
found that the end of each hair pointed to
different letter, and that these letters
combined formed a slang sentence, which
informed the prisoner that his friends
were on the watch and that the next time
he left the prison to be examined an at
tempt would be made TO rescue him.
The governor laid his plans accordingly,
the attempt at rescue was made, but the
rescuers fell into their own trap.

WuHoFT's FEVER AND AGUE TONIC
This medicine is used by construction compa-
mics for the benefit of their employees, when
engaged in malarial districts. The highest
testimonials have been given by contractors
and by the Presidents of some of the leading
railroads in the South and West. When men
are congregated in large numbers in the
neighborhoOd of swamps and rivers, Wllhofes

Blood Diseases.

The blood being the source from which our
systems are built up and from which we de-
rive our mental as well as physical capabiii-
ties, how important that IL should be kept
pure. II it contains vile fostering poisons all
organic functions are weakened thereby. Set
Ting upon important organs, as the lungs,
liver or kidneys, the effect Is most disastrous
Hence it behOoves every one to keep their
blood in a perfectly healthy condition and
more especially does this apply at this partic-
ular season of the year than at any other. No
matter what the exciting cause may be, the
real cause Of large proportion Of all diseases
Is bad blood. Now DR.. Pierce does not wish
to place his Golden Medical Discovery in the
catalogue of quack patent nostrums by recon-
mending it to cure every disease, nor does be
so recommend it, on the contrary there are
hundreds of diseases that he Acknowledges II
will not cure; but what he does claim in this,
that there is but one form OF blood disease
that 1t will not cure, and that disease Is cam
eer. He does not recommend his Discovery
for that disease, yet he knows it to be the
most searching blood cleanser yet discovered.
and that it will free the blood and system OF
all other known blood poisons, be they AMI
NAL, vegetable or mineral. The Golden Dis
covery is toGrrGnted by him to cure the worst
forms Of Skin Diseases. as all forms OF
Blotches, Pimples and Eruptions, also all
Glandular Swtliings, and the worst form OF
Scrofulous and liberated Sores Of Neck, Legs
