Eddie Claybaugh of the town of
| Wyoming was buried on Saturday,
tild 18th. inst. Disease unknown
Mr.. d. Hathaway, a resident OF
Wyoming and one of the pioneers
Of the county, was also buried ON
the same day.
Death has also entered the fam
| lily Of Carl Nelson and removed
two Of his children by malignant
scarlet fever Mr.. Nelson lives one
mile north of this village. The
fever has broken out in maglig-
nant form i'll the family of Evan
Lloyd, one-half miles west of town
How the fever originated in either
case is mystery. The fever is MS
yet confined to the two families
above mentioned, and it is earnestly
hoped that strict care will kept it
beyond the limits of town. But
with all precaution there is still
much fear of its nearer approach.
But death has not remained with
the little ones or staid ut distance
this week. Two young mothers
have been called to pass through
the terrible ailliction Of child-bcd
fever, and each after suffering more
than death itself for days and
weeks, have been compelled to sur
render To the strong grasp Of the
king Of terrors. The first to meet
this lamcntablc fate was Mrs. Grace
of Dover, one week after the birth OF
her second child. She was the
daughter of John Jones of Dover,
who is well known in the eastern
part Of this county.
The second, only two days later,
was Mrs. Abbic Whalen, wife 81
Geo. Whalcn, and daughter Of Mrs.
+. X. Bennett, after lingering,
suffering existence of over three
weeks from the birth Of her first
child. This case was more melon
choly, if possible than that Of Mrs
Grace, her husband being away in
Minnesota at the time Of her first
sickness, where he had gone TO locate
a home. The telegraph summoned
him to the bedside of his dying
wife. He came, and although all
medical aid was procured, three
physicians being ii attendance, the
young wife and young mother, and
the only daughter Of a widowed
mother, was called 70 the realms Of
death.

THE Galveston board of
health have agreed unanimously
to admit the steamer Colorado
and the Houston board of health
has as unanimously agreed to
quarantine against Galveston as
soon as the ship enters port.
The matter has been referred
to Gov, Roberts. The Telc-
gram says Houston will enforce
her quarantine no matter what
the governor says. We cannot
hut regard this quarrel between
Houston and Galveston as a
very unfortunate affair and think
it is engendered solely by bus
mess jealousy on the part of
Houston. Should this surmise
prove true Houston will not
make friends by the transac-
ton. 1t certainly seems to be
unreasonable that the Galveston
board of health would take any
chances by letting an infected
vessel come into port from pure
ly mercenary considerations.

CIVIL SERVICE.

Civil service reform; in a
Hayes point of view, is pro-
crossing finely. Revenue COM
missioner Raum has just gone
to Maine on a political tour.
This Of course is civil service re-
form as he is supposed to be
paid by the government to su-
pcrYisc the internal revenue de-
partmcnt. He a few days ago
addressed a letter to secretary
Sherman congratulating him
and the great moral party-the
republican-that after being in
power twenty years they had
succeeded i'll finding a set of
revenue collectors who turned
over all the money they receiv-
ed to the department, To the
outside world this looks as
though it had taken the repub-
lican party twenty years to
find an honest set of men in
one branch Of the service. Mr..
Raum has heretofore prostitu-
ted his office, having furnished
false figures" to John Logan,
showing how the south defraud-
ed the revenue by illicit distill-
ing, while the truth is there was
about ten times as much fraud
in this line in the northern states.
In the treasury department at
Washington the printing press
es are kept constantly running
for the printing of republican
campaign documents, which
are prepared for the republican
campaign committee by one of
the clerks of the treasury de-
partment. named Capt. Baily,
who with five associates are
paid by the government for do
ing this work. In addition to
this secretary Sherman has
sharp look out kept on all gov
eminent officials, they as a mat
ter of course are all Of the true
faith and being of the true faith
are expected to work for Sher-
man for the presidency. An
example has recently been
made. Col. John B. Brownlow,
son of the celebrated parson
Brownlow, was a revenue agent
in Tennessee. He took stock
heavily in the Grant movement;
the consequence is Col. John B.
Brownlow is not now a revenue
agent. AS soon as Grant man
comes to the front he is decap-
itated.

The CoLoRED excursionists
from Mississippi to Kansas hav-
ing "gazed on the promised
land" are now returning home
ward. At St. Louis they were
interviewed. A representative
man says: The trip was very
pleasant and they were well trea-
ted; Kansas is a magnificent
country; is not adapted to SOU
thern colored men; those who
have money to take up land and
provide for themselves till they
can make a crop might get along.
Many of the emigrants now IN
Kansas are hanging around the
cities and towns in the eastern
part of the state; their condition
is bad; they realize the fact that
they must work for a living in
Kansas; a large majority of them
would return home if they had
the means. The excursion will
be the means of stopping the en-
odus, for while, at least.

A COLUMBUS saloonist, who
has a conscience of his own,
"conscientiously" believes that
Friday is the proper day for
observance. He accordingly
observes Friday and proposes
keeping open the other six days

like having well regulated
conscience-one that will adopt
itself readily to circumstances.
The Columbus man seems to
have such an one.

A, proposes a straight pole
or bar; B, a forked brush
(which should be constructed of
the most flexible character of
brush within the farmers reach);
c, proposes cords from bar A
to right and left wings of brush
B, which confines it to top cen
tire of cotton row, when in mo-
ton; D, proposes suspension
line from bar A, to brush B.
The above figure is designed
to brush two rows at one pass
and may be exercised by con-
fning bar A to horn of saddle
and when boy or girl noun
ted on a gentle pony can pass
over fifty acres every five days.
You will observe that this need
not interfere with cotton pick
ing, as boys and girls would be
sufficient to keep up that agi-
tation necessary to prevent the
advance of the worms.
A column of these brush
could be arranged to sweep fif-
teen or twenty rows at one pass
on the open prairie fields by ar
ranging upon a long pole, and
combining upon the necks of a
gentle yoke of oxen. l suggest
that he who waits to see the re-
suit of his neighbors expert
ment will loose his own cotton,
while looking on. Be active and
save the cotton.
Remember that there is Pc
culiar odor arising from the
cotton patch, which is an inial-
lible declaration of the worms
presence. Then is the time to
put your brush i'll motion, re-
peating every 5 or ) days.
Respectfully,
THoS. B. SHANNON.
