A new combination has been effected
ut New Orleans, which will be known
as the Ouachita and Ohio River Packet
Company, Of which Capt. Fred A.
Blanks is president, J. III. Voolfolk, OF
Louisville, Ky, secretary, and Messrs.
T.. Conery, ST., Capt. Joe Holmes and
other well known steamboatmen are
stockholders and directors. The object
Of the company, we understand, is to
buy, sell, build and run steamboats, in
the Ohio, Ouachita and Mississippi
rivers, with Louisville as its domicile.
The accident which happened to the
Fred A. Blanks, by running into pier
No. of the bridge, Saturday the 21st
ult., seems to have been more serious
than at first supposed. About 80 feet
of her larboard guard was broken off
or badly shattered, and the damages
amounted to over $500, while, appa-
rently, the pier was not injured. The
Times.Demoerat, however, was mis-
taken in asserting that there was no
light on the pier. There was light on
the pier, but it appears that the posi-
ton in which it hung, together with
a fog and strong current bearing on the
starboard, caused the miscalculation.

MERITS OF A WROUGHT IRON RANGE

1t is of the utmost importance that
the article on which our daily food is
cooked should he the very best article
in the house, as health depends largely
upon the food we eat and more upot,
how it is cooked. Therefore good
cooking apparatus is most important
piece of furniture, in fact national
blessing. 1t is an article which Is used
and serves mankind every day, but not
being of every day purchase. One of
the greatest points to be considered in
buying is durability, good baking quail.
tiles, and in fact, to select only the best
in every respect. This can most GER
tainly be ascribed to a Wrought Iron
view to strength, the body and oven
of the Range being wholly made of
Wrought Plate Iron, which does not
crack or break by expansion or con-
traction, and being closely and tightly
riveted, warrants itself against any
binding or warping. 1t is an expe-
rienced fact that an oven constructed
of Wrought Iron will absorb the heat
much quicker, more evenly and more
intensely, than ono made Of Cast Iron,
which is very essential in cooking. The
joints are riveted closely insuring per-
feet tightness, while the seams OF Cast
Iron Stove separate, warp and get out
of place, allowing the ashes, dirt, SCOT
and smoke to pass into the oven, max
ing it worthless. This trouble is much
heard and complained Of by those using
Cast Iron Stoves and another impor-
tant matter to be considered, there is
not the least possible chance of a house
being set on fire by a Range, as they
are constructed so as to prevent the
flame or sparks ever reaching the pipe
or flue. With all Cast Iron Stoves it
is different, the blaze and sparks pass
directly up the pipe and very frequently
set the SCOT In flue on fire and of course
endangers the house. Apparently
Wrought Iron Range is more expen-
durability, economy, convenience, COM
fort, etc., are considered.

American Agriculturalist
The term "Fair" may not always
be the most appropriate one for the
autumn shows. EuhjJtbu is better
word, but far less frequently used.
Not only should the farmer go to the
fair, but he ought TO take his family
with him, The going simply, is not
enough. All members Of the family
should make it d point to take some
! thing TO exhibit. One OF the boys
may take fine colt, and if il is his
own, there viii be al the more pride
in taking a priZ4. Another son may
have a yoke Of steers that he has
trained for the exhibition. AS for
| the girls, there are a thousand differ
emit things that can be made with
/ the needle that could grace the walls
of the Womau's Pavilion" or the
rooms Of the Household Department.
| Even SO commons d thing as bread
may be baked with special care, aud
win attract much attention. Then
there are the garden vegetables
potatoes-a new kind perhaps and
the products of the farm and orchard.
1t is not wise to leave all these things
! at home, aud criticise the exhibition
| because you can say, Eve have bet
/ ter things at home, " To go and
! take things to the fair is not enough.
The exhibition should also become
school at which all exhibitors and
visitors make q study of the poultry,
cattle, implements, fruit, grain, etc,
that are there. A farmer may owe
his success in growing some crop, TO
the knowledge gained at town fair.
The farmer that has Il real pride in
the farm, will take great interest in
the local fair, and Will exhibit the
best products of the farm life in the
boys and girls, who are the interest
ca exhibitors at the fairs. The day
at the fair shO4ld be a social one,
every one making il a point to meet
MANY nelghbOrS and others with
pleasant word. III is a place for ask
ing and answering questions, and
the person who goes through tie gN-
hibiti0n without opening his mouth,
is certainly not getting all the good
that is within his reach. IL is our
advice that an 60 Othe fair all take
something to show, and all try to tind
out all possible about all the various
exhibitions that are made by others.
In this way the day a5 tjle far Will

cash capital can be safely transacted;
in other words, the business benefit
of credit is worth at least three
times its cost, and is a good thing TO
have. When business credit is
maintained for pure business rea-
sons and those Of personal upright
ness, it is as wild to call this slay-
cry as it would be to call man q
slave to his appetite who eats his
meals regularly and attends to such
exercises as are likely to give him
good digestion. Credit is not a
mortgage upon the future, but a
charge upon the actual resources Of
the debtor. A mortgage upon the
future is simply nothing. 1t is well
to call attention to the subject of
credit. 1t is one that well might be
more deeply studied and thoroughly
but it is of primary i'm
portance that its characteristics
should not be misunderstood at the
outset.
