The CABBAGE WoRM,-At the late annua.
meeting OF the Northern Illinois Horticulture
Society, the different remedies mentioned for
the cabbage worm were the following: Prof
G. Thomas, after trying all the offensive aud
poisonous substances known found none that
will destroy the worms without injury to the
cabbages, and therefore resorts to catching
and killing by hand Mr.. Perlam said Ger.
man gardener finds chloride of lime sprinkled
on them ellectual. Mr.. Schoonmaker used
slaked lime after each ram, with sprinkllng
of salt water once in two days, as successful
remedy We never yet found any AFFECTION TO
the use Of hot water after the cabbage heads
begin to form, If applied by person who has
found by practice just how hot the water
should be, and how long it should be applied
by the watering pot. The few worms on
young plants earlier in the season are easily
picked off by hand.

Eli Perkins. the distineushed

Eli Perkins, the distinguished hu
night, on the philosophy of Fun, before
a large and respectable audience. From
the moment he assembled the stand he
managed to keep his audience in round
some new ideas, and, in his quaint, hu-.
morous way, perhaps, precipitated the
more prosey and matter of fact natures
to a new line of thought as to the bene
fits of fun and humor to our mental and
physical we'll being. This community,
perhaps as much as any other, needs cul-
tiva;ion in this direction. That element
of society, called "the best" capable of
enjoyment through the brain, sometimes
is strained down by prophecies aud con
ventionalities, and mistake austerity for
dignity, and even hypocricy for morals
There is almost as much injurious effect
on our society from this school as from
that of the merely sensuous. Sound,
hunor and enjoyment, and the more this
innate necessity of our nature can be
elevated, the better for society, for NOR
ais, aud religion. Dir. Landon lectured
Tuesday night, but we learn to very
small house. Eli is brick, but not the
biggest one in the kiln by long jump

Of his figures of speech, which man of
refined taste and cultivation should have
avoided. For instance, there was no hu
NOR, or necessity, before a Bible respe Ct
ing audience, to denounce the prophet
Elijah as liar, picturing him in parallel
with Baren Munchausen, &c; and it was
objectionable, in this community, to at
tempt to point joke with illustrations
from the Hickman yellow fever dead
These were matters of thoughtlessnes IS,
but together with the fact that the lee
turer did not reach expectations, had
some hat to do with the scant house on
the second night. He was not the man
we were hunting.

The Fulton Circuit Court is still in
session, the Hon. A. r. Boone presiding
as Judge, and will not adjourn before to-
morrow evening when the term expires
by limitation. Most of the time of this
term has been occupied by cases under the
local option law, and so far, we think
only two indictments were sustained
though a large number were referred to
the Grand Jury, and will come on for trial
again in September. On Monday n new
Grand Jury was empanuelled and report
has it, that they are fixing up large
number of new indictments, and up to
Thursday morning some fifty had been re-
turned.

BEGINS WE'LL. BUT ENDS BADLY
Last Monday in company with Geo. War
rem, We visited the principal factories of
Hickman and were astonished to see upon
what scales of magnitude they were con-
Quoted. Hickman is an old town and a
very picturesque looking little village,
but outside of the industrial pursuits, the
town is not half so lively as Fulton.
Monday was court day, and being the
county seat of Fulton county we had inn
agined to see an enormous lot of business
done, but strange to say the merchants
all looked as if a thunder cloud of mis-
fortune had o'ershadowed them. GEN

we will guarantee yeu good times-if

the expression is a matter of record in
Franklin county, Ga. Patterson was a
very powerful and very brave man, but
always used his great physical strength
to prevent fights; and he commanded
peace, because, when nothing else would
do he would fight. On court day two
bullies raised general fight. Patterson
rushed into the crowd to pursuade them
not to fight, hut in the melee somebody
struck him. He cried out at the top of
his voice, "Who struck Billy Patterson
No one had the courage to answer. He
then offered 500 to any one who would
tell him. He kept raising the offer until
he offered $1,000; but, even that large sum
would not induce any one to tell him.
Patterson continued the offer through life
in every possible way; and when he died
he bequeathed $1,000 in his will to be
paid by his executors to any one who
could tell "Who struck Billy Patterson"

Our MARKETS AND - -
There is nothing doing in the Hickman
produce market except in corn, and some
little in cotton. The corn transactions
continue heavy, and the first of the week
all available space on the wharfboat and
warerooms were stocked to their utmost
capacity, aud stin it comes. Corn has
advanced somewhat in the leading mar
kets. New Orleans is paying CSC for
white, and Augusta 72ceT3c. There is
much damp corn, and this season should
learn our farmers the great lesson of
properly housing their grain after it is
gathered Hickman buyers are paying
43c delivered in depot.
CorroH-Cotton does not seem to i'm
prove in any of the markets, and the few
scattering bales coming into Hickman are
very inferior. New Orleans is paying
for good ordinary, SIC; low middlimg, o.
middling, l0sc. New York, middling, 103a
lie. Hickman buyers are paying from
&c to Toe, according to quality.
SEEDs-Field seeds have advanced in
upper river markets, but Hickman mer-
chants authorize the following quotations;
Glover, red, S5.75aS6.0o Timothy, choice,
$3.50; prime, 1925. Red Top, 75c TO sec.
