AWALNUT STORY.

The smartest Texan. and, in fact,
smartest farmer / ever met, is old
MIR. Graves, who lives on a
one-bunlred acre farm west
of Waxahatchie, in central Texas.
After Mr.. Graves had shown me
his cattle and cotton, he took me
over to his woods.
"Well, what o. it?" I asked, as
he pointed to 1O-acre forest.
"What of itg Why them's black
walnuts, sir. Ten acres of EN-.
Planted 'em ten years go. See
they are ten inches through. Good
trees, eh?"
And sure enough there was 10
acres of land planted in walnut
trees. They stood about 20 feet
apart, 200 to the acre-in all 1000
trees.
"Well, how did you get your
money back?" I asked.
"Black walnuts are worth 50 sc
bushel ain't they? I'll get 40o
bushels this year. That's $1,000
A hundred dollars year is good
rent for land worth SIS an acre AIM
it?"
"Well, what else?" ] inquired,
growing interested.
"The trees" continued Mr.
Graves, are growing an inch a year
When they are 20 years old the!
will be nineteen inches through
A black walnut tree nineteen inche
through is worth SIS. My 2,OO'
trees 10 years from now will b.
worth $4,000. If I don't want t
cut them all I can cut half Of them
and then raise bushel of walnut
to the tree-that is. get $4,000
year for the crop. Two hundre'
and fifty dollars an acre is o fai
rent for SIS land. amt itF'-Chi

Vertigo or staggers may proceed
from various causes. Badly fitting
collars, plethora, diseases of the
brain, and even indigestion may
may produce the symptoms describ-
ed. Look well to the animals food
and see that it is of laxative kind;
and also see that the collar of the
harness does not crowd upon the
iugular vein. The rubbing of the
hips and tail would indicate that
the parts are infected with parasites.

From the st. Bernard Eagle we
learn that a Committee of Public
Safety has been organized in the
parish Of St. Bernard. The parishes
Of Orleans and st. Bernard, COM
bined, contain more inhabitants
than any other two parishes in the
State, and we are glad to see that
the citizens are determined to sup
press lawlessness and crime, at all
hazards.

THE PRESIDENTS CONDITION
NEW Orleans Democrat, Friday.l

New Orleans Democrat, Friday.l
The reports from Washington. as
to the general condition of the
President, are, on the whole, more
encouraging. The irritation of his
stomach has subsidized to some ex-
tent, and he was enabled to take
increased quantities of liquid food
yesterday. That organ, however, is
still weak, and nourishment is ad-
ministered in small quantities.
Another complication has arisen in
the Case, which may prove serious.
This is the Inflammation of the
parotid gland. The physicians in
attendance claim that this only in
dicates a bad condition of the
blood, and nothing more alarming;
but others not connected with the
case express the opinion that it is
proof Of blood poisoning. Time
will be required to establish the
rival theories. In the meanwhile,
at last accounts the President was
resting well. and appeared to be in
10 immediate danger.

We have no doubt that Gretna will
some day become a great city. We

about the future Of Jonah" This
is question in which there is much
cause for serious apprehension.

There was music in the FARMER
office yesterday. Mr.. Harry Nor
tee, who represents the mammoth
music emporium of MIR. Philip
Werlein, of New Orleans, called to
see us, and brought with him two
new musical instruments, the cor
gazette" and the "autiphone. p"
They both produce very fine music,
and it requires no previous knowl-
edge of the instruments to operate
them. The music comes in long
perforated sheets, which are in
serted into the instruments. Any
child can play on them. The "or-
ganette," size No. !. is sold for
eight dollars, and the "antiphone"
for six dollars. ANY tunes that
may be desired can be supplied by
Mr.. Mortee, at prices ranging from
ten cents to fifty cents. The house
of Mr.. Werlein, No. 35 Canal st.,
New Orleans, is well filled with all
kinds Of musical instruments, from
the celebrated Mathushek piano
down to iewsharp, and their i'm
mense sales enable them to success
fully compete with any musical es-
Establishment in the South. We no.
tice that several fine pianos have
recently been purchased in Coving-
ton from the well known house OF
P. Werlein. II you want anything
in the musical line, give them 3 call.

The organization of q Commit
tee Of Public Safety in New Or
leans was generally approved by
the "good citizens" but now that
the committee has been organized,
there is much CONSERVATION ex-
pressed over the fact that the oper-
atoms of the committee are con-
Quoted with secrecy. In our opin-
ion the committee are acting wisely
in not inviting the hoodlums to
participate in their deliberations.
The opposition to the plan of oper-
atoms adopted by the committee
doubtless comes from those who
feel in their hearts that they are
fit subjects for investigation, and
they very naturally experience
feeling of uneasiness. This shows
that the organization is already
having beneficial influence, by ex-
citing fear in the minds of the
guilty ones, whose ''Ioom is better
than their company" In short
time many of the street corner
ornaments and lamp-post support
ers will receive their invitations
to leave town.
