THE NEW CITY Republican ENecu-
tive Committee has made good start
in the interests of peace and harmony
in the party. For chairman Henry e..
Mel lear, who possesses the confidence OF
all good Republicans, was elected unan-
imously. A little good natured com
petition was practiced in the election
of a Secretary but James A. Anderson,
leading business man amongst the
colored people, bore off the honors over
our Young legal friend Walter Bacon,
Esu. Il. II. Ewbanks, cashier Of the
National Bank Of Delaware, was select.
ed for Treasurer, and better selection
could not possibly have been made.
Once more the white wings of the dove
of peace are spread over the Republic
can party, and reason resumes itssway.
Now let the solid phalsnx of the earn
est and united Republicans of Della
ware Immediately move upon the enc
my's works and rescue Wilmington
and the State from Democratic mis-
rule.

Mr.. MANNING's bill for tire re organ.

TIN AUDITOR OF Kentucky has In
formed the Legislature in response to
an inquiry, that there are now 367 lGS
lega, votes in the State. The total votes
for President in 1880 was only 266, $40
nearly on third of the voters not voting.
As the Democratic majority in the
State is $1,000. it is reasonable to
suppose that the Republicans would
carry it on full vote.

The pearl Craze.


A short time since a man in Muir
freesboro found a pearl in mussle
shell and sent it to Tiffany q Co. of
New York, and handsome little
sum was forwarded him for it. A
great many people of Rutherford
county Immediately became mono
maniacs in regard to pearls. Plows
were stopped in the fields, pigs left
sauealing in the pens and babies
squalIing in the cradles that the un-
PARALLEL thirst for pearls might be
satiated. Legions of little mussles
have been snatched from their hid
ing places in Stones river by ruth
less avaricious hands and the sacred
precincts of their shell houses in
vaded. And still the cry is for more
pearls.
Fabulous stories reaching this
place of the wealth those pearl
gatherers were amassing, a party
composed of Mr.. and Mrs. T. O.
Bagley, Mrs. r. III. C.. Bagley and
Misses Jessie and Sallie SpurlOck
went to Elk river on last Saturday,
in quest of the treasures and were
successful in finding several pearls
of beautiful tints. Other parties
are forming, and soon Elk river will
be denuded Of these bivalves.- Fay

wheat sowing.

Preparing the soil for wheat is of
far more Importance than many
farmers suppose. Thorough prep
aration of the soil is the secret of
success in wheat culture. Summer
following usually gives the best re-
suits, but it is not always practical
BILE, in which case the nearest APP
proach to it should be made that is
possible. Two plowings are better
than one in the majority of cases,
and where it is possible we believe
it will pay abundantly in the in
crease in the yield and quality OF
the crop. a mellow but compact
soil has been found to produce the
best preparation for wheat. Com
mence blowing now and turn under
all the clover and weeds-they will
rot by the time you are ready to
sow your misunderstanding the sub
soil SO the roots can take deep hold
and also furnish manure to stimu-
late good growth before the freez-
ing commences. Late sowing now
is advisable on account of the fly,
and this quick growth is the more
desirable.-NqSb. Banner.

Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1881-09-10

One of the boys of Lamar, Mis-,
souri,, had been reading Byron's
Mazeppa and he got three or four
of the boys in barn in the SOUTH
west part Of town and they conclu-
ded to play Mazeppa. From what
we can learn, not having been pro-
vided with a complimentary, the
play was rather more startling than
instructive.
They got COW and about forty
feet of clothes line and a number
seven BOY with red hair and a
freckled nose To do the Mazeppa
part, while a gentle youth of twelve
or thereabOut wrapped a saddle
blanket round his head, and, as the
jealous sheik, shouted
"Bring forth the hoss." They
''fotched" her. In truth, she was
a noble steed. A heifer of the muly
breed, and wiId-wild as seven
kinds Of Rocky Mountain William
II. Goats. They got her on the
barn floor and tied the hoy on with
the rope and turned her loose. She
took in the situation and seemed
to realize that her credit as an ac-
tress was at stake. Her acting was
splendid, and brought down the
house-by sections. Whenever she
ran over one of the boys you could
hear the appause for four blocks.
Although the audience all had
parquette and pit tickets, they
thought they could look at the play
better from the gallery, and so they
slid up. into the hay NOV and tried
to crawl through the roof while the
old COW was churning about four
teen years growth out of, Mazeppa
and bawling like steam calliope,
while Mazeppa passed most of the
time yelling like a pig fast in a
fence.
The play would probably have
been in progress yet but for the fact
that the neighbOrhood thought a
cyclone was wrestling with the barn
and rushed in and got the cow up
in corner and amputated the boy.
The show wound up with that
thrilling piece of music entitled
sounds from Home" which was
well played by an improvised
band of parents, several boys and
several leather straps. The boys
say that the music made by the
straps was thrilling in the extreme.
