A negro woman who was defeated yes
terday in Justice Robnsons court, in her
attempt to have another woman ilned Tor
abusive language, took an appeal and will
carry the case to the next superior court,
| The defendant in the case is Mrs. Clarkson,
the Sth street hair dresser; the complainant
is the sister.in law of Tom Clarkson, the
divorced husband of the said Mrs. Clark
son. Tom and his sister-n-law who was
showing baby buggy, containing baby,
was passing by Mrs. CIarkson's shop, when
that lady remarked, "Tom, how is your
sis,cr.iu laws babyl" The sister in-law,
being unmarried, considered this remark as
an imputation against her virtue, and she
brought suit for abusive language. So
trivial an affair is likely now to grow into
long and expensive legal war, but it is only
a sample of many such.
One of the curious results of last years
drouth isthat ii taught the farmers by prac
teal experience that they need not feed their
cattle corn. During the past winter farm
ers did not have the corn to feed the cattle
nibbled what grass they could find, and
lived on the straw stacks, some of the
stacks beng three or four years old, The
re suit was, they came through the winter
in better condition than when fed altogether
on corn. When they were fed on corn they
few words, farmers have found by expc.
rieDce that it is not necessary to feed corn
TO keep cattle through the winter, but that
they will thrive on the otherwise worthless
wheat straw stacks. Hereafter they will
not devote as much land to corn, but more
to wheat, as, even If that is partial fail.
ure, the straw will serve as we'll as the
corn to keep their cattle; aud if the wheat
is a success, the crop will be double.
The New York Herald is advising
people what to eat, now that meat is so
high, and suggests poultry, eggs, fist,
game, HOLSTERS, clans, etc. It's remarks in
regard to potatoes arc very sensible. 1t
says: Next to beef the American adores
the potato Mealy or waxy, mushy or
hard, cheap or dear, the potato must al
ways be bought, aud as it commands now
from 81 to So bushel it costs more than
it is worth. The present cost of bushel
of potatoes might far better be expended
on rice, homny. oatmeal, peas, beans or
other farinaceous and leguminous food for,

deceptive. There is more nutriment and
less trouble in 81 bunch of bananas, at

vegetables are desired, they can be found
more abundantly in half a peck of onions,
or few penny lunches of radishcs, than in
whole bushel ofpotatoes.
Rev. Louis Boon, Of Chester, advises
people to marry while in their teens and
urges parents to try to induce their children
to contract early marriages. The reasons
which the Rev. gentleman gives in support
of his suggestion are that youthful love is
stronger and that marriage will keep boys
and girls from the streets and from vice.
"While your sous stay single" says Rev.
Boon, "thcy will run about at night and
make their parents trouble. o parents,
encourage your sons and daughters to mar
ry soon and save their character. This sub
ject is OF vast importance and hope that
fathers and mothers in Randolph county
and elsewhere will read this prayerfully,
and may the Lord God bless you and your
children, and the Lord keep your sons
from those places Of infamy." Rev. Boon

to China, where the beauties and the
miseries OF very early marriages prevail in
all their hidious glory.
The custom house walk, which was to
have lasted eight or ten years, is already
showing signs of speedy dsintegration.
For some time past it has been cracking
extensively in various places, which 1t was
thought would be entirely avoided by the

to expand without cracking. In this respect,
it seems that the gentleman who laid the
