All the Year Round.

l call the attention of the public to
the fact that | constantly keep on hand
a full supply of all kinds of meats.
During the time l have run butcher
shop in Milan l have spared no pains
or perils to accommodate the public.
In 1878, during the yellow fever, l
did not leave my post, but was ready
supply the wants of my customers.
I have staid with the people, winter

serted them. Now, as the time of

Complaint about the Mails.

We learn that the postal clerks
have received permission not to work
the local mails on Sundays trains,
but are required to work the mails
for the cities. Our people have here
tofore had their Sunday papers and
letters the same as any other day,
and can see no good reason why the
cities should be favored more than us.
II the clerks are required to work the
mails at all, we think that every office
is entitled to it. Atwood and Gibson,
small stations, are as much entitled
to their mails as Memphis, and we
protest against this favoritlsm. Eth.
er take the mails off entirely, or give
them to all alike. Don't make fish
of one and flesh ofanother. We hope
the people all along the line will take
up this complaint, aud that the news
papers will back them in it. The
daily papers are especially interested,
as their Sunday readers are especial
sufferers. Gentlemen, help us to
bring this matter before the post office
department, and insist on equal and
exact Justice to all.

THE JACKSON FAIR,

The tenth annual fair of the West
Tennessee Agricultural and Mechani,
cal Association will be held at Jacks
son, commencing Tuesday, Oct. 25,
and continuing through the week.
These annual fairs have done much to
encourage farmers and stock growers.
and deserve liberal patronage from
the people of Gibson and adjoining
counties. The premium list is large
and comprehensive, offering liberal
money premiums for the various prod.
ucts of Agriculture and Mechanism.
We are informed by the secretary
that the prospects for the coming fair
are excellent, and every thing tends
to a splendid display of thorough bred
stock and fine racing. The secretary
informs us that there will also be in
attendance at the Fair buyers from
various parts of the country to pur-
chase good young horses and mules,
and this will be an excellent opportu>
nifty for stock growers to dispose of
their stock at reasonable prices. Take
your stock TO the Jackson Fair.

Selecting Seed Corn.

Our great national crop is Indian
corn, and anything that will improve
that crop is of vast Importance.
Much may be done to improve the
quality and increase the yield by the
thorough and systematic selection of
the seed to be planted. 1t is not
enough to p liant plump grains, sepera-
ted from the smaller ones by means of
sieve. The work of selection should
begin while the plants are yet grow
ing, and choosing those stalks that are
of vigorous growth and the size and
shape to furnish the best quality of
fodder. They should be well cared
by this is not understood that the
larger the number of ears found the
better it is; also early enough to com
plete growth before frosts come, etc.
The ears should be well formed, small
at the butt that they may be broken
off with ease in husking; the husks
should be soft and loose when ripe,
and the cob covered with grain to the
very tip or, as it termed, "well filled
out" The stalks that are to furnish
the seed for next years planting
should have abundant space and the
best chance for the perfect growth
Anything that will increase the vital,
ty that is the life of the grain, will be
felt in the coming crop.

FLYING MACHINES,
and when We me; he put in many
hours demonstrating that such a ma
chine was practicable, but he might as
well have talked Hebrew as far as my
understanding was concerned. only
remember one point he made, viz:
that the larger the bird the less sweep
of wing 1t has in proportion. Thus
the huming bird has ten times as much
wing surface in proportion to its
weight as tee buzzard, Hence, said
John, it is conclusive that the great
need of the bird is not power to rise
from the ground but power to contend
with air currents. So the lighter the
bird the more sweep of wig 1t needs.
1t would give the 100000 readers of
the Gazette the headache to copy the

made on this subject, and l don't
know as it has anything to do with the
Governorship of Ohio. Suffice it to
say that he proved to his own salts
faction, that it would be very easy for
man to rise into the air and sustain
himself there, but when it came to
contending with the air currents he
could see no way to make it. He still

peahaps he will yet make it success.
