Now why could not the farmers con-
struct spout of boards on the side Of
some of our steep hills in such a man
uer a. to run grain through it, and
thoroughly clean wheat Of wild oats and
other foul stuff, thereby getting clean
seed to SOW on new ground and thus
preventing our whole land from becom-
ing foul, while We could, by some other
means, clean out the land that is already
filed with all kind of oats, weeds and
herbs that will increase yearly to spoil
our crops.
l have often cleaned grain by casting
it the length OF the barn Aoor some l6
or 10 feet with little scoop in one
hand and this way the contents Of the
scoop will fall at different distances,
according to tho weight Of each grain.
l should suppose that BY dropping the
wheat through q spout some 80 or 20
feet on . steep pitch and giving it an
upward turn at the mouth of the spout
it would get force enough to squirt the
required distance to separate; this

A Collision of Buxgtes.

Two buggies collided on Bronaugh street last
Saturday afternoon. Mr.. Otis and a negro lad
were in one buggy, and Mr.. VIM. johnson and
Mrs. james Vincent and infant were in the other
Mr.. o. was driving rapidly west on ST. Angus
tine street, intending to turn north into Bro
naugh street at the corner opposite the residence
OF MIR. A J. Fish, but some portion of the har-
ness gave way and he was unable to manage his
animal. The buggy was run over an old safe
lying On the corner and he and the lad thrown
out, and the former pretty badly bruised. The
horse went dashing up Bronaugh street, ran into
Mr.. JohnsOn's buggy. knocking off a wheel
throwing the occupants out and giving them a
terrible scare, but fortunately hurting none oil
them very seriously. The formers vehicle was
pretty generally smashed up, Mr.. Johnson's con-
siderably damaged, and it seems almost miracu-
Ions that all escaped with such slight injuries.

The ROHf.0mce.

We stepped into the Post Office few days ago
and found the efficient and accommodating chief
clerk, Mr.. Mcqueen Aud, as busy as newspaper
man; but he kindly gave US the following summary
of the business of the Office for January: Amount
of money orders issued, including fees, $34OO21 &;
paid on orders, 81 ,9A31; making total of 90,
34452 The sales of stamps, stamped envelopes,
postal cards, &c, amounted to $557.s3, and liz
registered letters were received and delivered
These figures show decided increase over the
same period in 1881 and We think the salary of
the Postmaster is too small for the responsibility
assumed, the amount of business done, and labor
performed. This office is State depot for mail
bags, pouches, &c, which Imposes upon the en-
ployees great deal of extra labor, probably not
contemplated when the salary was fixed at the
present low rate.

I
AT the invitation of the committee having
charge Of the proposed exhibit of Leon county
products at Jacksonville on the 2lst inst, sever
al ladies met yesterday at the Office of the Com
missioner of Immigration and thoroughly can
vassed the subject and determined to cooperate
with the Exhibition Committee, in making a

The plan determined upon is that during the
three days ofthe State Fair, viz: Wednesday 22d
Thursday 23d, and Friday 24rh insts., gorgeous
display of the beautiful flowers of this region
shal be made. Mrs F. T. Myers was chosen as
representative to go to Jacksonville and take
charge of this department of the Leon county
exposition. The flowers are to be solicited from
all of our citizens by committees appointed for
that purpose They are to be gathered in the
early hours of morning before the de~ is of, and
sent by the gentle donors to the Immigration OF
fee at the Capitol, before 10 O'Clock, a. m, on
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, where
committee consisting OF Mrs. j. B. Hall, chair
man, Mrs. Florence Gibbins, Mrs. Elizabeth
Douglass, Miss Annie Ames and Miss Perkins,
will receive them and superintend their packing
in suitable shipping crates provided for the pur-
pose. Each days packing to go by express the
same evening to Mrs. Myers, at Jacksonville, so
that flowers exhibited there on Wednesday, 22d
inst, will be packed here on Tuesday, &c, &c
The following ladies were selected on the re-
spectve committees to canvass the city and solicit
contributions of flowers from The fortunate own
ers, and it is hoped that they win Immediately
begin their canvass so as to secure the preserva-
ton OF such flowers as might be otherwise dis
posed of:
For the territory north of McCarty street and
east of Monroe-Mrs. A Hopkins, Ms. Bur
roughs and Mrs Douglass
For the territory north of McCarty and west
of Monroe streets-Mrs Afford. Mrs. John A.
Pearce and Mrs. Green Chaires.
For the territory south and east of McCarty and
Monroe streets-Mrs. J. B. Hall, Miss Gallie and
Miss Speer
For the territory west and south of McCarty
and Monroe streets-Mrs. R. II. Gamble, Mrs B.
Williams and Mrs. G. A. Bryan
We predict that if the several committees do
their work well, such an exhibition as will be
made at Jacksonville has never been surpassed
anywhere. Let everybody enter into this move
