We presume there is hardly a lady TO
be found in our broad land who, If she
does not already possess a sewing ma
chine, expects some day to become the
owner of one.
But alter the mind has been fully
inside up to purchase one Of these in
dispensable articles, the question arises
as TO what kind of a machine to buy.
1t should be so simply constructed
that the most inexperienced can sue
cessfully operate it. The other points
mainly to be considered, and which are
the most desirable, are durability, ra-
pidity, capacity for work, ease of opera
ton, regularity of motion, uniformity
of TENSION, and silence while in opera
ton.
The "Light.Running New Home"
fills the above requirements, and is said
to combine the good points of all sew
ing machines, with the addition of
many new improvements and labor
saving devices.
The price is no higher than that OF
other machines, and every lady who is
the happy possessor of one may rest as
sured she has indeed a treasure.
All who send for the company's new
illustrated catalogue and enclose their
advertisement (printed on another page)
will receive a set of fancy advertising
novelties, of value to those collecting
cards, &c. Their address Is, NEW
HOME SEWING MACHINE CO., 30

Wheat Crop.

Mr.. Alfred Houze of Pisgah under
date of July End writes us as follow
ED. CITIzEN:-I send you the re
suit Of my wheat crop, threshed on
Friday last by Lloyd, Worley & Co. s
new separator. On five acres of
clover land 1 measured 120 bushels
of wheat, making "a bushels to the
acre. 1t is the bearded Mediter-
ranean. My manner of preparing
the land is as follsws: LIST. Turned
over the clover in August with two
mules and turning pillow, rebroke
with single mules and bulltongues
about the 10Th of September; on the
18th of September / sowed the
wheat, plowed in with bulltongues
and then narrowed; in February
rolled the wheat with heavy roller
after a freeze, grazed the wheat
lightly with sheep during the winter,
and the above is the result.

it was seriously injured by the rust.
Cotton is almost total failure.
We had very sudden death in

last night just after supper that was
evidently rabid. He fought several
other dogs, we understand, and as

Another refreshing shower
J another glorious season to elevate
the spirits of the weary farmer as
he returns from his farm sanguine
of a good crop of corn, at least il
the seasons continue. Cotton has
come out of the kinks and looks adj
mirable lately. Our threshermen
start out on our crops of straw this
week-yet our wheat is not so bad
but that it could be worse. We
have some as good grained wheat as
ever was made and some as trifing.

Our school directors and teach
ers met at the Hill on Saturday,
June Both for the purpose of en-
ploying teachers and organizing a
teachers institute to meet semmi-
monthly and exchange ideas. The
question was opened by one of the
most able and appropriate addresses
we ever heard. Said address was
delivered by Rev. w. L. Booth,
wherin he urged upon his brother
teachers the great necessity of teach
ing morals, equality, sociabiiity,
&c, in their schools. Prof. j. f. !
Parker followed with timely and APP
propriate remarks on government of
schools, etc. The meeting then
proceeded to elect president and |
secretary and arrange program for
their next meeting at Minor Hill on
July IA, at o'clock. We think it
a step in the right direction. We
invite teachers of the 3rd
or other adjoining districts to meet
with US and try to establish a uni
form system of teaching over the
county.
We give few items as reported

The following account from the
Sedalia { Mo- Democrat will be
read with interest by Giles COUNT
ans at present, and with profit per-
haps:
The reading public has been told
frequently of late of the terrible
prevalence of hydrophobia in Hick-
DRY county. Only a week or two
ago the Democrat gave long ac-
count Of the results of this terrible
curse in the vicinity of Wheatland,
telling of its ravagas and the reign
of terror it was carrying through
the country. Yesterday there ar
rived in Sedalia Capt. r. A. Vance,
a citizen of Wheatland, and from
him a democrat reporter learned
some additional facts about the ter
rible malady. The captain says
that it became so prevalent that
war of determination has been in
augurated, and the people are
slaughtering CANNES indiscrimi
nately. In the vicinity of Wheat
land there have been fully twenty
or twenty-five cases, and the mala-
dy is not confined to dogs, but in
cludes cats and all kinds of stock.
Cattle have been bitten and be
come so ferocious that there have
been a great number of them slain
for protection to the community.
In the town of Elkton is the sad
dest case. A hotel man named
True had a COW attacked with hy-
drophobia, and DIR. Remington,
wishing to experiment with a rem
edy he had discovered, bought the
cow and attempted a cure. He
chained her to a stake and began
his treatment, but was unsuccess-
full, the cow dying in a few days,
after suffering intense agony. This

pike intersetin Giles county is still
alive. The right of way was
granted to the Lynnville and Cor
nersville pike, and the portions of
the Pulaski & Brick church and the
Pulaski & Bradshaw pixies that
have been built were received and
each of these companies allowed to
erect one toll gate. The work on
these two pixies has progressed as
rapikly as could be expected, and
it is hoped the Lynnville and Cor
nersville pike will be pushed to
completion. This is an important
road in the county and when a
good pike is made of it the people
along the line will be vastly bene-
flied. Let the good work go on.

"middlings" about Kidney-Wort. 1t IS

to nature in all its praises. 1t Is pre-
