The high winds, rain and snow of last Monday made it one of the most re- markable days of the whole winter. At the present writing there is pros pect of cessation of hostilities on the part of Old Winter. How it will turn out, we shall see.
 We yield considerable space to-day to the list of acts passed by the legislas ture and signed by the governor. We do this to the exclusion of other im- portant and entertaining matter. We will next month arrange to give more reading matter in the DEMOCRAT, and we hope to make the paper better than ever.
 The following doggerel from the Gazette meets a responsive chord in this community just at this time:
 The humps,

 The beautiful humps. Filling each cheek with glorions swell, Raising wart that hurts like - well,
 While agony thumps,
 And misery jnmps, With that cheeky old trouble,
 The terrible humps.

 A. ROTH.
 In company with Mir. A. T. Davis we had the pleasure last Saturday of looking through the extensive manu- featuring establishment of Messrs. Luker, Settle & Co. This firm is com, posed of J. M. Luker, W. F. Settle, A. T. Davis and F. B. Chalfant, all expe- rienced mechanics and thoroughly trained in their occupations. Eleven workmen are constantly employe1 in the manufacture of wagons, buggies, blows, harrows and all other articles of general utility in agricultural pur- suits. We were shown by Mir. Davis, the inventor, a new cultivater, which combines many excellent qualities and will commend itself to farmers. It consists of light but substantial stock with several small blows so ingenious ly arranged that a "middle" can be broker. in one through, or by a simple device, a row of corn or cotton may be thoroughly plowsd on both sides at the same time. These blows are made in sizes for single and double teams. Our farming friends should call and see these cultivaters and examine their merits. The work turned out by this establishment is of excellent quality of good material and workmanship. The firm have worked against some disadvantages since they located here, but in spite of them all, have pushed right along with indomitable courage, and to-day tho outlook for success Is bright indeed. Every citizen of Rus sellville should feel an interest in this enterprise, for It is through manufac- turing enterprises that all business centres gain wealth and power.
