Two BOLD YOUNG HUNTERs.-On
Tuesday of last week Eppa Hunton Mad
dox, aged eleven, and Jefferson Davis
Maddox, aged thirteen, sons of Mr.. Mar
tin Maddox, of this county, denned a fox
near Moscow and killed it. On their way
home with their hounds they started a
deer and chased it across the country on
horse back for five miles and caught it
with their dogs. They made the run
straight across the fields taking fences and
and bitches as they went. When they had
killed the deer it weighed 225 pounds and
was too heavy for the little fellows to lift
on their horses, so they disemboweled it
and tightening it to that extent threw it
over the horse and took it safely home.
These boys may safely be put down as in a
fair way to make the boldest hunters of
their day and generation, especially as one
of the little fellows made the run under
the disadvantage of broken arm in a
sling.

OBTRUsIvE ADvERTIsING.-It depends largely
upon what it is that is advertised-the temper and
feeling Of the public toward the subject matter,
whether the advertiser can afford to steal in upon
the readers attention by the of some favorite
QuotatiOn-or riding in upon some current topic of
discussion. Some advertisers have run against
fatal snag trying to initiate the method of Dr. Bulls
Baby Syrup. Cough Syrup etc., in this class of ad
verLising, meeting with disgust and rebuke. The
fact is the advertiser, when he enters in this way
the presence of the reader unbidden, must carry
with him his own welcome, this unceremonious
manner of approach presupposes certain favor
itism. popular pastor OF one of city churches
recently made alusion from the pulpit to DR. Bulls
Cough Syrup as illustrating how dear medicines
even become to when known to alleviate the ails
and ills Of life. There must be truth and merit when
the advertiser can shake hands with such high
company. Indianapolis Journal.

edy in our own hands-quality, and quanti-
ty, quality first, for there is no question but
our wheat is not whatit was five years ago.
Drouth, grasshoppers, lack of tillage, con,
slant replaTting of same seed, no change of
crop, continual drain on the soil, all this
and much more are the causes of the in
felior quality of our grain. The tendency
has been among inexperienced farmers es-
pecially, to grow large crops, on the prin-
ciple of, the more land, the more wheat.
The result is that the land is poorly culti-
waited, and as consequence the crops are
inferior, and will continue to deteriorate
until there is radical change in the pres
ent system of farmiug
1t is easy to blame, censure and condemn
others, but it may be well to look to it that
we are not in fault In this instance there
is no question but we may attribute much
of the trouble to the present reckless and
ruinous system of farming. Quantity is
the disease, quality the cure.
