with neat and substantial tape
binding. Each county is colored,
and the clean letter press shows out
with bold distinctness every county
line, railroad, mountain and river
and the name Of the countiPs and
towns. Beneath the map a com
plete list of every railroad, county,
creek, river, mountain, and town in
the State. Opposite these, in col
umns, are index letters and agures
corresponding to figures painted
around the margin of the map. and
to capital letters printed on a tape
suspended on from the top and cen.

town on the map readily, it is only
necessary to place the tape on the
marginal figure corresponding to
the figure in the index opposite the
name of the town sought, and then,

"Goobers"

There may be people in this world
who do know what a goober is, but
there are none. who have not heard of
the luscious and seductive peanut.
The peanut and the goober are one
and the same There are seven coun-
Ties in Virginia that make a special
ity of growing the peanut. The
crop year begins October / and ends
the following September. Last year
the peanut crop amounted to
100000 bushels, and this year it
will touch a million. They sell for
a dollar bushel down in Old Vir-
ginia which makes a pretty good
item when rolled up together. The
modus operandi by which the nuts
are separated, cleaned and classed Is
somewhat as follows: The third sto-
ry of the building contains thousands
of bushels of peas in bags. First,
there is a large cylinder, in which
all the nuts are placed, in order
that the dust and dirt may be shak
en- off of them. They pass from
this cylinder into the brushes where
every uub IeColf65 ulIcCu iSCb Va q
brushing before it becomes free.
Then they pass through sluice- way
to the floor below where they are
dropped on an endless belt about
two and half feet in width, and
passing along at the rate of four
miles an hour. On each side of The
belt stands eight colored girls and
as the nuts fall from the sluice
on the belt the girls, with quick
motion of the hand pick out all the
poor looking nuts, aud by the time
the belt reaches the end two-thirds
of the nuts are picked off. allowing
only the finest to pass the crucible.
Those that do pass drop through
another sluice and empty into bags
on the floor below. When the bag
is filled it is taken away by hnnd.

girls are thrown to one sIde,;placed

This is not only leap year; but a
leap year of sort which occurs
only once in forty years. February
of this year has five Sundays. That
is the peculiarity to which we al
luie. But, speaking of leap year,
is it necessary or gallant to remind
the unmarried fair of the quadren

it? Is it not more 10 the point to
put our Benedicks on their guard,
and to couch them in the duties
and responsibilities which devolve
upon them, now that they are no
logger suitors but sought In the
first place, what constitutes an chg
ible lady suitor? She should be
good looking. She should not be
overhasty or bold in her wooing.
On the other hand, her attentions
should be received with a certain
bachelor like coyness; but not with
prudery, and not with too austere
reserve. In every case ask for
time for consideration. Should you
ind your affections really touched,
refer her to your parents. They
will look after your material inter
ests, means of support, settlements
and the like. These last are very
important conditions. Love in a
cottage is all very well, but you
can't carpet the floor with moon
shine, or pay the baker with honey
suckles. 1t may happen that your
suitor has very small bank &C

Comptroller Gaines has Issued a
circular to county court clerks call
ing their attention to recent decls
ions of the supreme court concern
ing the collection of privilege taxes.
Under these decisions it is held that
the sale or transfer of the right or
privilege conferred on patentees by
letters patent cannot be taxed by
state laws. In other words, the pat
entee or his assignee without paying
any privilege state tax may sell
individual, family, or county

whole state or any part thereon.
But a patented article in the hands
Of peddler does not exempt him
from payment of privilege tax. Ped
dlers ofpatented articles must take
out license and pay the privilege
tax imposed by the code. tits also
held that keepers of livery stables,
who have taken out license and paid
therefor the privilege tax imposed
by the code, have privilege to keep
for hire or profit such buggies and
other necessary vehicles as may
be an essential part of their livery
business, and will not under the law
be required to pay in addition the
specific privilege tax imposed on
vehicles.

LEARNING THE BALLET.
How Young Girls are Trained for
the Stage.
London Truth.

To learn how to dance on the
stage requires considerable time. A
girl Is first taught to turn her feet
out by standing with the toe of
each foot to the heel of the other.
The next thing is to give her a
"point." This is done by seating her
in form with one leg strapped to
1t at the knee JOINT, while person
presses the toe down SO as to arch
the instep. Then she is told to
hold on to bar and throw each leg
successively as high as possible
without bending the knee. The ex-
ercise loosens the joints and rem
ders them supple. After daily
work of this kind during some
months, and sometimes years, the
girl is taught steps and learned how
to walk upon her toes. This, which,
when well done, always elicits ap-
plause, is by no means so difficult
as it appears. In reality the dane
er walks on her big toes, and the
others do not touch the ground.
The big toe is bent slightly to-
ward the others, so that the pres
sure is as much on the side as on
the end. But it is far more diff
cult to use the arms gracefully than
the legs on the stage. In order to
find this out, person has only to
take a stick and to endeavor to
wave it after the manner OF a stage
fairy. There must be no angles,
and the movements must be made
very slowly in order to be effective
Miss Kate Vaughan is the most
graceful dancer on the English
stage. This is because she knows
how to hinder her body from fol
lowing the movements of her arms
or her legs. Whatever steps she
may be taking with her feet, OF
whatever curves she may make
with her arms, her body is in re-
pose, as though her arms were un-
connected with it. To realize the
effect of graceful movement let any
one observe the movements of bad
Cameron the stage. Instead of
only dancing from her waist, her
body is twisted this way and that
with every step she takes, and thus
she produces the impression of a
young heifer indulging in gambols.

and, rushing upon Smiley, struck
him over the head. Smiley stag
gered back, and drew self-cocking
revolver, and, with q rapidity al
most beyond the capacity Of emu
meration, fired six shots at Alexan-
der. Three shots took effect, q
ball striking each arm and another
going through the lungs. Alexan
der's pistol dropped from his hand
He attempted to recover it. but his
right arm had been paralyzed by
the ball. He grasped it with his
left hand, but the left arm having
been also wounded, he was unable
to cock the heavy weapon. Smiley
was upon him. With a cool, des-
perate presence of mind, Alexander
kicked his pistol into a saloon, near
which the encounter occurred
Then entering, he stopped and
caught the muzzle of his pistol
with his lett hand, raised it up, and
cooked it with his foot. He lifted
the pistol from the floor. Smiley
stood outside peeping around q
door post, with only part of his
head exposed Alexander nervous
ly lifted the weapon. took deliber-
ate aim and fired. The ball plowed
along the post behind which Smiley
stood, half burying itself, and strik-
ing Smiley in the forehead, went
through his brain. Smiley fell
dead, and Alexander, turning, sank
from loss of blood.
A large crowd witnessed the en-
counter, and the greatest of excite
ment prevailed. The wonder is
that several men were not killed,
for when Smiley fired the six shots
the sidewalk was crowded with peo-
pie. The weapons used were not
parlor pistols, but the brand intend
ed to kill, almost regardless Of dis
tance. One of the balls from
Smiley's pistol went through a sign
board and buried itself in Another.
The mark on the door post, made
by the ball which killed Smiley, is
full SIX feet from the sidewalk.
Nine men out of ten would have es-
capped, as the deadly missile would
have passed harmlessly over.
Alexander at last accounts, was
suffering greatly, and is not expect

Twitting The Farmers.
Rural World.

Rural World.
Farmers are more interested
in good law makers than any
other class, because they bear
the largest burden of taxation. The
trouble with the farmers is, they
don't do their political work at the
right time. They raise hue and
cry against candidates when it is
too late. They don't attend the eau
cuses and conventions in sufficient
numbers to do the nominating and
then complain of the work that has
been done. The object of this para
graph is to impress upon farmers the
necessity of doing good and effect
i've work before and not after
conven tons TO be looking around
for good material for important
offices to be filed, and when they
find such, to put it 10 the front, n ON
mate it and then elect it. Select
the men you want for candidates and
do not wait for others to select men
that vou don't want. 1t is in this in
particular that farmers are behind
the times The machine politicians
have everything their own way on
account Of negligence on the part o I

The personal column of a newspa-
per is getting to be quite popular
feature, but we find occasionally
grave objections to the custom,
which we promise some time to
point out. In the meantime, we
will speak only in regard to the un
fortunate predicament in which IL
sometimes places an editor. To be
worth anything to him or those in
terested the personal mentions must
be general and impartial. but as an
editor, no more than any one else,
has the power to be everywhere at
once or to see everything both be-
fore and behind him, it sometimes
happens that he don't see or hear
OF the very items he would most
willingly note while others not con-
sidered SO important are brought
out. Hence he often finds himself
open to charges of fayoritism or par
tality which he cannot always parry
to the satisfaction of ,he sensitive.

A Terrible Street Fight.
Arkansas Gazette.

Mr.. H. Thomas has just arrived
in the city from Hot Springs, and
having been q witness to the des-
perate encounter which recently oc
Cured between Col. Robert Alexan
der and Col. Smiley, at that place,
gives the facts which we spread be-
fore our readers.
Col. Alexander and Col. Smiley
were prominent claimants of MN
ing lands in Silver City. Some dis
pote arose as to a claim. Being
unable to settle it satisfactorily,
the dispute augmented into a guar
rel, and the quarrel into violent
threats. 1t was we'll known that
both parties were men of nerve.
Smiley had won a reputation of be-
ing desperate-in a personal encoun
ter. Alexander, though he had
never been credited with. shedding
blood, was considered a man with
whom it would not be safe to trifie.
Efforts to settle the misunderstand-
ing failed, and those who were ac-
auainted with the circumstances
expected that bloodshed would be
the ultimate result. Several days
ago, the day when the encountef
took place, Smiley came to Hot
Springs. Alexander was in the
town. Smiley went to the bank
and asked OF the cashier:
Have you seen Alexander
The cashier replied that he had
not seen him but understood that
he was in town.
81 am going to kill him before 4
O'clock" exclaimed Smiley, and,
turning, left the bank; he had not
gone far when he met Alexander.
The furious aspect Immediately IS
sumed by each man, illustrated the
fact that violence would ensue,
Alexander drew q large revolver,
