Seekers After Health.

Unfortunates who are seeking Go
renew their health, are MANY. So
often have they been deceived by
the advertisements of worthless
compounds, that many are discour-
eyed, and refuse to believe anything
they read in the papers. Therefore.
the best advertisement of a really
good medicine is the reputation It
has gained in places where it is be-
ing sold. Ne other remedy ever
discovered has grown SO rapidly in
public favor as that true medicinal
tonic called Browns Iron Bitters.
In localities where its extraol binary
merits have become fully known and
realized by those who have been in
ill-health, the sale is unprecedented.
One druggist in our city reports the
sale of 238 bottles in one week. 1t
is, indeed, a wonderful, health-giv-
ing, life-saving preparation. It is
soothing and refreshing in its effect,
and strengthens every part of the
body. and creates healthy appetite
and digestion, even when the sys-
tenn is almost destroyed by the
many hurtful catharties so common
~ used. Reader, beware! duty de-
mands that you try Browns Iron
Bitters. If your health is poor from
any cause.-Enqairer.

SHEEP RAISING ON COTTON
PLANTATIONS.

(B. Lillard, in Southern Cultiyator
1t seems to me there is a plan q
farming, practicable in the South,
that would solve the labor question,
enrich the lands, enrich the farmer,
and make things look a little
brighter than all cotton, no money
no grub, no clothes and big debts.
Suppose planter having four hun
dred acres, which he has always
cultivated IN cotton, should divide
his farm into four fields, one of
which be should SOW to grass-Ber-
muda, Japan clover, white clover,
orchard grass, blue grass, red clio,
yer, or any kind of grass that a
sheep, cow or horse would eat;
then one field in peas, one in corn
and one in cotton. Then get four
hundred head of sheep-any kind
will do-graze the sheep on the
grass, till peas are ripe, then put
the sheep on the peas to eat them
down, then feed the sheep during
tae winter with the cotton seed
grown on the place; this will make
it rich enough to grow q crop of
cotton without manure; keep up
this rotation, and soon all the farm
will be rich, and the profits OF the
sheep will pay family expenses. or
the sheep may be sold as fat sheep,
after January, and will pay 100 per
cent. on the investment.
Sleep raising on cotton planta-
tions in ten years would enrich
every acre of land and every farmer
in the South. There are no people
in the world that work SO hard, and
have SO little of the comforts of life,
as those who plant all cotton to buy
their meat and bread.
MIR. Oliphant is right. AL our
troubles come, either from want OF
brains, or proper use of what we
have. This whole trouble can be
solved in q few words: Plant less
cotton, and more corn, wheat, oats,
peas and grass. The fact is, no
people on earth ever thrived, or
ever will, without grass to Craze
stock on. The cotton States can
handle forty million sheep, and they
will make ten times as much manure
as is purchased now.

A Punishment Worse Than Death.

An execution to which more than pass
ing interest attaches will take place in
Windsor, Vermont. The condemned
person Is Emelihe NJ. Meaker, of Water
bury, who was convicted Of the murder
of an orphan girl thirteen years old,
Alice Meaker by name, April %, 1880.
The wretched woman protested her in,
nocence on the occasion to set aside the
verdict, as she has always done, but was
sentenced to be hanged in the prison at
Windsor on the last Friday of May,
1883. The crime, for which son of
Mrs. Meaker, Almon Meaker, is already
under sentence Of death, was one of the
most horrible in even the criminal his
tory of Vermont The child was q half
sister to E. o. Meaker, husband OF
Emeline, and was AN inmate of their
| household, where she was seVetly abused
and maltreated, being treated, indeed,
as a slave by Mrs. Meaker and Almon.
| Almon was half-witted, plant tool IN
| the hands of his mother. Mr.. Meaker III
| believed to be innocent of oil completely
i'm either the abuse or the murder of the
| child. The child was taken from bed
and dressed. q sack was tied over her
head, and she was taken in a wagon to
| lonely spot in the woods, where dose
of stfychnine was given her, and she was
| left to die in swamp. The crime was
conclusively fixed upon the two wretched
| prisoners, and nothing can now save
| them from the terrible consequences.
| The time allowed the condemned to pre-
| pare for death Is 50 long that the execu-
| ton will undoubtedly be welcomed as
termination OF the feeling of terror that
! will possess them,
