Politics,

There was quite an assemblage of prom
inent Republican and Independent politi-
clans in town on Tuesday who seemed to
be holding very earnest consultations to-
gether. It is reported, we know not by
what authority, that the slate for county
offices was made up on that day. This is
all very well for you, gentlemen, but you
had better save yourself trouble until the
Doctor is heard from, because if the slate
does not suit him, he will assuredly rub
it out and make another in accordance
with his views. s,..,.....s.

Coal OIL Accident.


A colOred woman named Grace Bean
In the employ of Mr.. Walter MARI, on the
farm of John w. Mitchell, Esq. near this
town, was seriously if not fatally burned
by the explosion of lamp on Tuesday
night. 1t seems the woman was holding
a lighted lamp in her hand, which her
mother was filing from can, when as a
lii1afttDj q course the all caught fire and
both lamp and can exploded. The woman
Grace was terribly burned about her face
neck, breast and arms, but strange to say
the mother, who was holding the can, was
uninjured Prompt medical assistance
was rendered by Doctor Pearson Chapman,
who happened to be on visit to Mr..
Mitchell at the time, and the woman is
doing we'll, though not considered out of
danger. As much of this oil is used in
this community and the carelessness of the
colored people in handling it makes it
rather remarkable that accidents of this
sort are not of more frequent occurrence.
1t would be great kindness in everybody
to caution these people, as well as the
members of their own family, of the great
risk that is incurred by the careless hand
ling of this oil.

We had a delightful shower during
Tuesday night and on Wednesday morn
ing many farmers essayed planting tobacco
but speedily gave it up as bad job-the
earth not having been moistened much
below the surface A good rain is much
needed now both for corn and tobacco and
to replenish the streams, which have less
water in them than we ever recollect to
have noticed SO early in the summers.
This shows a general scarcity of moisture
in the earth. which ifnot speedily supplied
by copious rains will result in serious dis
aster to both the corn and tobacco crops
which are now very promising.

The bone Of contention between
McGrath and Wilkes, is, that the lat

thereby causing hundreds to lose their
money, when, fjustice had been done,
there would have been thousands Of
dollars won on McGrath's horses, as
they were known to be the best on the

that he did not "sell OUT but that Ar

McGrath is for SANDER. He may win,

Death .< s,sre,r .,esv,.,.

The sudden and unexpected death
Of this eminent man, closes the earth.
~ career Of the last Ex.Presidcnt Of

he was a remarkable man. Rising
from obscurity under the most adverse
circum tanccs, 10 the highest place
that can I've conferred upon an Amcri-
can citizen, aud filling that position at
n time no less important than the first
revolution. he had abundant opportu-
nity TO show what manner of man he
was. At the time Of his marriage he
was unable to read or write, aud was
taught both by his wife. Following
the trade of a tailor for several years,
he abandoned that, calling to he
come a politician. His first Office was
that Of an Alderman Of u small town.
from which he rose to u scat IN the
Lower House and then the Senate Of
Tennessee; from these to a scat in
the Lower House Of Congrcss-then
Governor Of his native State, United
Safes Senator, Vice Presidcnt-thcn
President by the death of Lincoln, af-
ter which, and but recently, reelected
to the U. $. Senate. His history as a
politician and citizen j. too well-known
by all to need extended notice in our
columns. His private and public life
would oacr abundant material for a

The king upon his throne is entitled
TO the crown by reason Of royal blood
which, perhaps, have courscd through
the veins of remote ancestry, or the
success Of the sword, regardless too
eften of his fitness TO wear the same and
wicld the sceptre. But in our free land
every citizen is born king, the hunblest
of whom may aspire to preside over
the affairs of the Republi,, regardless
of ancestral blood or the lineage from
whence he sprang. We consider the
death of Mr.. johnson real calamnity
to the Nation at this time, for his eff.
orts in the U. $. Senate in behalf of
the peace, dignity, and equality of all
sections of the Union, were looked for
ward to hopefully by the masses. On
our outside pages our readers will find
the particulars concerning his death,
and we are sure that a feeling of pro-
found sorrow is felt by all, at the sud-

BARRING his profanity, Governor

that he will be reelected in October

on. The leading question is that Of
initiating the currency and opposition
to National Banks which doctrine is
held by the Democrats-and contrac-

National Banks, which is the doctrine
of the Radicals. A few leading Dem
ocrats such as Thurman side with the
opposition, but will vote with the

NOVEL WAY OF CURING THE HEAD
AcnE.-A lady in Augusta county,
Va, having suffered great deal with
headache tried the very origonal REM
edy of driving six-penny nail in the
back Of her head. She told the doc
tor who extracted the nail that it had
had the desired effect, and that she
drove the nail in herself with the fiat
side of a Ratchet. If the nail actually
penetrated the skull, as it is claimed
that it did, it is certainly a most re-
markable cure, and will, DO doubt
greatly interest medical men. 1t will
cure your head every time-try it.

Breeding and Management of Sheep


Breeding and Management of Sheep
Few neighborhoods of farmers are so
ciroumstanced that they cannot better
afford to raise as much wool as they con
sumo, than to Jonfne their industries to
other branches of industry, and send
their money to distant States, and may
be to foreign countries, for their supplies.
They need the diversity in their local
industries involved in the raising and
manipulation of the wool in the varied
processes from raw feed to finished cloth
ing. They need the enrichment of Sc
verely taxed lands that no animal affords
in so great ratio to the amount OF food
consumed, as does the sheep. They need
the frugal saving of grasses and grains
in out of the way places that is accom-
plished more fully by the sheep than any
other domestic animal. Especially do
the farmers in wheat growing sections
need them, to save and utilize the stray
heads and otherwise lost grain of their
newly harvested fields. Great benefit
will also be found in the destruction of
briars and weeds that, from neglected
fence corners and feed lots, annually
scatter their seeds, to add to their labors
and diminish the profits of the next
years operations. Youatt was enabled
to designate over two hundred different
weeds and grasses that were eaten by
the sheep.
When asked for suggestions regarding
the proper and profitable breeding of
sheep, must confess to a knowledge of
no general rule, aside from those reeog-
mixed and emf Logged by the more success

stock The breedershould fret acquaint
