FIFTY DOLLAR TURNIPS This is
the name given by Prof. G. b. Fair
child to new variety which he has
been rearing for the past four years,
and now declares the best offered in
this State. 1t has special qualities, of
sweetness, hardihood, (defying our
winters and proliticness. Whole
wagon loads of them average eight
pounds to the turnip. Prof. Fairchlld
has added the garden and flower seed
business to his establishment near this
city. He has spared neither labor,
time, nor money in supplying himself
to meet the wants of our people in that
line: and we trust he will have com
pensating patronage.

from Col. Jno. II. Long informs us
that on the night of the 18th inst,
four of his cows got into his sugar

effects of eating the green cane: ano-
ther lived TIL about II o'clock and

county with regard to mad dogs, and
that one man has slain no less than
five of his CANNES who exhibited sus-

well. Pity the alarm cannot spread
to every county in the State Unfor-
tunately, however, while there is a
great deal more cry than wool. (be
cause the dogs have masSacred the

JOsHBILLINGS ON BEER.
Why he Believes il Will Not En-
tOXiCatc Ills Famous Beer
Test Act.

l hav finally cum to the conclusion
that larger beer as a beverage is not
Intoxicating.
| hav been told by a German who
sail be had drunk it all mite long,
just to try the experiment, aud was
obliged to 90 home entirely sober in
the morning [ have seen this same
man drink eighteen glasses, and if be
was drunk it was in German and no.
body could understand it.
1t is proper enuff to state hat this
man kept a larger beer saloon. could
have no object in stating what was
not strictly thus.
] believe him to TIE full extent of
my ability. [ never drank but three
glasses of larger in my life, and that
made my head Outtwist as tho it was
hung on the end of a string. but [ am
told hal it was owing to my bile be-
ing cut of place; and l guess that it
vas so, for I never billed over WIS
than | did when / got home that mite.
My wife thOt | was going to die, and
| was afraid that | shouldn't for it
seemed as tho everything l had ever
eaten 10 my life was coming TO the
surface and l believed that if my
wife hadn't pulled off my boots Just
as she did, they would have cum
laundering up, too,
O. how sick | wuz fourteen years
ago, and | can taste it now.
l never had SO much experience in
so short a time.
If sny man shud tell me that lar
ger beer was not intoxicating, l shud
believe him. but if he shud tell me
that I wasn't drunk that mite, but
that my stummick vas out Of order, |
Shud ask him to state over d few
words just how a mar felt aud acted
when he was set up.
If | warn't drunk that mite, | had
some ov the most natural simtums
that a man ever had and kept sober.
Ia the first place 1t was about eigh~
ty reds from where l drank the larger
beer to my house, and [ was Jest over
two hours on the road, and a hole
busted through each one of nv
pantalOon Deez, and didn't hav any
hat, aud tried to open the by bell
pull and hiccuped awfulIy and saw
everthin' in the room trying to get
round on the back side Of me, and
sitting down on a chair, l did not
wait long enough for it to get exact
II under me when [ wuz going round,
and | set down a little too soon aud
missed the chair about twelve inches,
and couldn't get up soon enough to
lake the next one that come along
and that amt awl, my wife said l
wuz drunk as a beast, and, as l said
before, [ began to spin up things
freely.
II larger beer is rot intoxicating it
used me most almighty mean, that l
know.
Still I hardly think larger beer IL
intoxicating, for l have been told so
aud l am probably the only man
living who ever drunk any when his
liver was not plumb.
L don't want to say anything
against a harmless temperance bev-
ersge, bat if ever I drink eny more,
it will be with my hands tied behind
and my mouth pried oped.
l don't think larger beer is intox-
icating, but if | remember rite, II
think it tasted to me like a glass of
soapsuds that a pickle had been put
to soak in.
