 Editor DEMOCRAT: Seeing that no person has given you any items from this section of country for some time, perhaps few from us would not be out of place.
 Weather fine at present. Farmers are all done planting corn, and are now preparing to plant cotton.
 Wheat crops as general thing are looking splendid.
 Fruit not injured much by the late frost.
 Some farmers have commenced blow ing over their corn; the weather has been so favorable this spring everybody seems to be up with the times we hear no complaint about farmers being be- hind with their work.
 Health very good in this part of the country, and everybody seems to be cheerful.
 Preaching down here a whole year for $2.15 from each member of the church. Why don't they pay it? do they want the preacher to preach the whole year for them on a credit, and then let him go off in the fall without his pay? Come brethren it's time to begin to fork up.
 The little girls of this neighborhood, and the big ones too, are all in pow erfdl buster to go to Eaf Darr's to get new hats.
 Why do some members of the church take fresh start to heaven every sum- mer and then turn back and go to Boston about Christmas.
 There is not much prospect of any re- copartnerships being formed by mar riage firms that have heretofore busted in this section of the country.
 We expect to ask our neighbors number of your valuable paper, how long, o, how long! will the hull of Union Church stand uncompleted.. Do they think as they have built the hull, that some future generation must have 1t ceiled and painted? Come, wake up gentlemen, on this subject. If we had good comfortable church house for winter, when you go to church you would not grumble about the preacher preaching so long when perhaps he has not preached more than 30 minutes.
 Rev. W. II. Corley preached very able sermon here last Sunday to a very large and attentive congregation; sub ject, Infant Baptism. He deserves great credit for the very able manner in which he handled his subject, and for the great precaution used not to wound the feelings of those who might differ with him.
 Among the large number that attend- ed church last Sunday we noticed Mir. Jo Austin and Mir. Nall Falls, two of the best looking men in this country. We imagine they are both on the wing. From the way they cast their eyes around among the young ladies they mean business-matrimoni of course. No young lady over the age of sixteen need apply.

 a Hon. l.. l.. Mack, of Greene, one of our ablest circuit judges, while on hls recent visit to the capital, was introduced to q member of the late Legislature. 'I am very glad to meet you, sir, sad the judge, Fl believe you were member of the last LegislatureY The gentleman confessed, and Judge Mack con tinued; "I have a very high regard and profound respect for mary mem bers of your body individually, but as to the body collectively, l shall express no opinion. During the canvass 1 had two sons, in different counties, who were candidates for the Legislature. One was elected and the other defeated. l was livery proud of the boy who was elected, and rather mortified at the defeat of his brother, but since the adjourn ment of the Legislature l must say that my mind has changed, and l am prouder of the boy who was defeated" " This is too good story to keep out of print.

Harvey and the Blood,

Harvey discovered the circulation of the blood, and upon announcing the Tact, he was ridiculed and laughed at.
 Food makes blood and blood makes beauty. Improper digestion of food necessarily produces bad blood, a full stomach, acldity, heartburn, sick head ache and other dyspeptic symptoms. closely confined life leads to indiges. ton, constipation, biliousness, loss of appetite. You do not want pills, they are nauseous and disgusting; but you need few doses of that sparkling pur- gative known as Bailey's Saline Ape rent It aids digestion, cleanses the stomach. cools the brain and unloads the bowels, -

A Qufnine Substitute.

Nearly all sufferers from chills are on the alert for any remedy that will take the place of quinine. Quinine is ooJectonable on account of taste and ,he unpleasant symptoms that follow its use, as we'll as the uncertainty of a permanent cure. Another obiection 10 quinine, is, that 1t is always neces- safV 10 use some other medicine to pro- uuee the proper effect upon the secre- tons; A remedy which in every way combines all the above properties and that produces none of those unpleasant symptoms, is just now in demand by n Vhlil suffering people, Such a remedy ,' ,s now offered as Days Ague Tonic, Mnleii Tar surpasses any and all other articies in the final cure of chills.

tablish the laws of radiation in relation

tion Of Leslie's cube filled with mercu-
ry and heated to 300 deg. was measured
with thermopile and II Wiedemann

at was tested In the case Of Il copper ball

ther, the radiating power of various
