R. S. Spidell, postmaster at Leonl,
has kindly given us his formula for
compost for wheat. Mr.. Spldell
says take for each acre, one bushel salt
and two bushels lime, and composite
these for ten or twelve days and SON
broad cast and you will have fertilizer
equal to the best commercial fertilizer
If Mr.. S. is correct in:his experiments
aud we presume he is, any farmer may
fertilize his wheat crop at small expense
When the season comes for sowing
wheat try it at least on a small scale
Salt and lime may suit some kinds o
soil however, and not Others.

Are the Days Of Miracles Over!

Once upon time, away back in the
dim distant ages gone by, while the
world was yet in her teens of centuries,
things got mighty wet all around the
habtable part of the globe. A GER
tain eminent and wise old philosopher
named Noah, who was a better wealth
er prophet than Mr.. Virgins, set to
work a god long time ahead to build
him Il craft for the big rise he knew
was coming, and called it the ark.
The legislature would't vote Noah any
subsidies, but Noah furnished the CAPT.
tai and the Lord furnished the expe.
rience, so the craft was finished. When
it began to cloud up and look like a
long rain spell was coming, Noah and
his family entered the ark, and with
them pair, male and female, of every
living creature upon the earth and all
the fowls of the air. We suppose he

mankind were unable to find shipping,
and so they, with all living creatures
upon the earth, persisted IN the waters.
Now when Noah had sailed around
over these great waters for something
like six months, the thing grew little
monotonous, and he began to think it
was about time to plant his Irish pota-
toes, so he anchored his craft to the
top Of q mountain, and sent out dove
to prospect for good piece of real es-
tate. The dove returned bearing IN
her mouth an olive leaf. AS soon as
the ground got dry enough to plow'
Noah opened the doors of the ark and
set his great collection at liberty again,
and Noah and his sons went to work
to multiply and replenish the earth
From that day to this the dove has
been regarded as an emblem of purity
and innocence, an omen of promise.
One day last week, while the door Of
our Office stood ajar, there entered Il
dove. The little stranger made itself
perfectly at home from the very first,
and has since taken great interest IN
the study of the "art preventative
and is apparently learning to Read as
fast as one of our cOmpOsitors. Now
comes the strange part of our story.
A day or two since this little bird, now
turned printer, was noticed to make a
number of successive trips from one OF
the cases to the press, each time bear
ing in its mouth letter, and deposit
ing them in a row upon the bed Of the
press. After time it perched itsel1
over the medallion of Washington i'm
bedded in the head of the press, and
looked complacently down upon it
work, as if to say, "'tis finished" One
of our compositOrs, on going to the pres
and examining the letters, found tina
they formed the words
"PEACE AND PROSPERITY"
If any one doubts this story they cal
come up to our Office and interview
this wonderful bird in person, as i
still abides with us and is quite gentle
taking very kindly to strangers. W
don't know whether it is that kind of
bird or not, we are inclined to thin
: not, but Charley SMART has christene'
it Mary anyhow.

Obituary.

Joseph Hollis, an honest, earnest and
upright citizen died at his home near
Vervllla, Warren county, March I'd,
1883, in the 18th year of his age. He
WAS born in Kentucky, but came to
Tennessee in early life, and was for
many years an honored citizen of Can

offices in that county, and was for
time chairman OF the county court.
Bro. Hollis had been for-inese than 60
years amemDer of the Methodist church
and for years was faithful steward.
In the division he adhered to the

that he embraced while young. The
