a Coon AYp cHEAp WHITEWATER

WniteWusn season; we copy tne iol
lowing receipt for making the sam,
from one Of our exchanges, which w
recommend some Of our whitewasf
artists to.try:
"Few people know how easil,
whitewash is made, and how valua
BILE it is when properly applied. l,
not only prevents the decay o.
wood, but isgreatly conducive to the
healthfulness Of buildings, whether
wood or stone. 0ut.buildings anC
fences, when not painted, should be
supplied once or twice a year with q
good coat of whitewash, which should
be supplied in the following way
Take q clean, water-tight barrel oil
other suitable cask, and put into i,
about half u bushel Of lime; slack il
by pouring water over il, boiling bot
and put in a sufficient quantity Of
water to cover il five inches deep, and
stir 1t briskly until thoroughly slack.
ened; when the Stacking has been
thoroughly effected, dissolve it in wa
ter, and add two pounds Of sulphate
Of zinc and common salt. These will
cause the wash to harden, and pre-.
vent the cracking, which gives an
unseenily appearance to the work
If desirable, a beautiful cream color
may be given to the above wash by
adding three pounds of yellow ochre
or good pearl by lead, lamp, vine OF
ivy black. For fawn color, add four
pounds of lumber, Turkish or Ameri.
can--the latter is the cheapest-one
pound Of Indian red, one pound Of
common lampblack."
SOMETHING TO REMEMBER.-It has
been decided, time and again, OBJ
serves a contemporary, that unless
absolute fraud is shown, men who
sign notes payable to patent-right
vendors who have worked that note
business down to a fine point will
have them to pay. Farmers ought
to learn before long that it makes nc
difference what bargain they make
with these fellows, or how they I'M
derstand it, it is what they sign
their name TO that binds them. II
matters not if they agree totake a pat
ent post-hole borer for FIVE dollars
and twenty others SO understand it
if the farmer signs note for fifty
dollars, he will have to pay, and the
courts will not help him out. He is
presumed to know what he attaches
his name to.
Lord Bacon said: Gail crimes on
earth do not destroy so many of the
human race and ALLEVIATE SO much
property as drunkenness" but then
his opinion doesn't amount to much
when compared with the deep, phil
osophical deductions you have made
proving the inestimable blessing tc
mankind that liquor is. We jus,
give it to show you what d fool Bacon
was.-RaadoLph Enterprise
That is about the kind of argu
lnent the whisky men use down this
way, but then our Commissioners
couldn't see it in that way, and re.

now licensed drinking saloon in
this county.
