exempts the road, equipment and cap
ital stock, from taxes forever, and 1t
has free right of way, with sill the
materials for construction and equip

to be built by the company Is less than
2 400 miles. The eastern half of 1t

rhtch or thin seeding.

There seems to be wide divergence
of opinion regarding the amount of
wheat necessary to SOW to the acre.
Some good farmers still adhere to the
old practice of 3 bushel and 8 half,
while others equally good say that one
oushel is great plenty. We are OF
the opinion that the latter class have
the better of the argument. A bushel
and half or bushe] and peck Of
seed will not produce so plump berry
as when the roots have room to spread
which they do in thin seeding. 1t has
been proven conclusively that it does
not pay to crowd corn or garden vege-
tables, and that FOUR stalks of the for
mer in hill are better than eight, and
that they will bring finer and larger
crop. Even on crop that will yield
so abundantly and with SO little care al
the field beans, experience has proven
that thick planting brings a smaller re-
turn than thin, In quantity as well as
quality. Cabbages, bsets, all varieties
Of melons, etc, grow better, produce
more largely, and yield tiner crops
where ample space is allowed the roots
to run. II this be true in the one case
why not in the other? If a cabbage
needs room to develop into big head
why should not the wheat plant, which
sends out its little fibrous rootlets fol
several inches In every direction, seek
ing for nouri ,hment and moisture A
bushel Of seed to the acre makes q
large, plump, handsome kernel and
produces in the aggregate more bush
els to the acre than will more seed
this is the result of somewhat enten
ded observation. If any of our read
ers have opinions to the contrary We
should like 10 hear from them.

John Mann had a wife who was kind and true
A wife who loved him well;
She cared for his home and their only child
But, If 1 the truth must tell. az
She fretted and pfned because ] ohm was poor
And his business was slow TO pay; -
But he only said when she talked Of change,
HWe'l stick to the good old way"
She SAW her neighbors were growing rich
And dwelling in houses grand;
That she was living in poverty, o.
With wealth upon every hand tEH
And she urged her husband to speculate,
To risk his earnings at play
But be only said, Ny dearest wife,
Well stick to the good old way"
For he knew that the money that's quickly go
Is the money that's quickly lost;
And the money tkat STAYS IS the money earned
At an honest endeavor's cost
So he plodded along in his honest style,
And he bettered himself earh day;
And he OILY said to his fretful wife.
"Well stick to the good old way"
And AT last Their, came a terrible crash,
When beggary, want and shame
Came down on the homes of their wealthy
friends,
Will Johns remained the same
For he had ne debts, and he gave no trust;
MY motto is this" he'd say
ITS charm against panics Of every kind
'Tis Stick TO the good old way"
And the wife looked round on the little house
That was every nail their own
And she asked forgiveness of honest John
For the peevish mstrust she had shown
But he only said, as her fearful face
Upon his shoulder lay,
THE good Did way is the best way, wife
Wen stick to the good old way"

Dirhtheria Cure.

A great many so-called cures for the
dreaded scourge named diphtheria,
have been published in the papers.
The latest is one called the REGISTERS
Cure" because it was first noticed in
the Des Moines Register. If any one
wishes to try it, he might first show
the formula to good physician, who
would know whether the remedy was
possessed of any merit. Following is
letter from the originator of the cure,
giving directions for its successful use.
If there is better one, would it not be
good idea for the board of health to
give it to the public in place of its
long winded treatises on the pathology
of the disease without mention of a
single remedy for the disease. The
letter is as follows:
MILO, Ia, Feb. 20-Editor Register
In long years gone by you published
my cure for diphtheria. It attracted
whispered attention and became known
as "the Register diphtheria cure" and
saved hundreds of lives, as thankful
letters received by me showed. The
years of progress and thought have
brought better treatment, because not
SO slow in action. I have lately re-
ceived several letters asking for the
treatment as published in the Register,
their much-treasured copies containing
the same having been loaned, mislaid
OF lost. now give my improved
treatment, which can be had at any
drug store, and used by any person
without danger: .
Take ten grains of permanganate of
potassium and mix with one ounce Of
cold water. As sooa as dissolved it
must be applied with q rag or sponge,
mop or swab to the whitish places in
the tonsils, and other parts that have
the diphtheria membrane on. Do this
very gently, but thoroughly, every
three hours until better; then every
six hours until well. 1t does not give
pain, but is rather nauseous to the
taste. If the tongue is coated white
mix ore drachm of hyposulphate of
soda ard five drops of oil sassafras IL
four ounces of syrup made OF sugar
and hot water, and give teaspoonfull
every one or three hours rs needed,
when awake. If the tongue is not
coated white, I mix twenty drops of
tincture of phytolacca in four ounces
of cold water aud give a teaspoonful
every one or three hours as needed,
when awake The phytelacca is the
common poke-root of the south, and,
as it loses its strength by dying and
age. the tincture should be from the
fresh root, or it is worthless.

cosmOline. to the outside of the throat

as the patient must be protected from
all danger of getting chilled. 49, ~.
In the beginning of the disease, in
mild cases, the. above solution of per-
manganate of potassium is all I use,
and all that is needed, as the disease is
local at first, but it rapidly affects the
whole system when seated. In the
shrinking form of diphtheria this solu-
ton soon destroys all smell, and in
every case it destroys the diphtheria
membrane without leaving any bad

are never initiated or counterfe,ted. This Il g.
pecially true Of family medicine, and it is pos
tive proof that the remedy initiated Is Of the
highest value. As soon as it had been tested and
proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was
the purest, best and most valuable family medi-
cine On earth, many limitations sprung up and be-
gan to steal the notices in which the press and
people of the country had expressed the merits
of II. B., and in every way trying to induce sui
fering invalids to use their stuff instead, expect
ing to make money on the credit and good name
of II. B. Many others started nostrums put up
in similar style to II. B., with variously devised
names in which the word Hop" or Hops" were
used in a way to induce people to believe that
they were the same a. Hop Bittefs. All such
pretended remedies or cures, no matter what
their style or name is, and especially those with
the word Hop" or "Hops" in their name, or in
any way connected with them or their name. are
limitations or counterfeits. Beware Of them.
Touch none of them Use nothing but genuine

FACTS FOR BARRIERS.
selectingSeed Corn.

Mr.. Jonathan Talcott, of Rome, n.
Y, says q good many good things.
Among the late items from his pen is
an article in the Country Gentleman
on seed corn. To the surprise of 3
good many, the assertion was made
some wesks since by Mr.. E. Lewis
Sturtevant thai the tip kernels of corn
were the most valuable to plant, to
which Mr.. Talcott answers IS follows:
have farmed fifty years, since / be-
gan for myself, and during that time
I think there has not been 3 year that
some experiment has not been tried
either in grain, grass or vegetables, as
also In cattle, sheep, horses, swine and
fowls. While boy, l was taught to
select ears for seeding well filled cut
at the tip, and never to discard any tip
or butt kernels when Smelling the corn
for planting. My grandfather taught
me this. His theory was that it re-
guired the grains from the whole ear
to raise the best crop of corn IN the
best perfection. A neighbor of his
said that the small kernels at the tip
of the ear would not grow, consequent
ly there would be less in the growing
crop. This, my grandfather answered
him, was not SO, but the crop would be
all the better for having them planted
with the rest. l determined to test the
case, and taking some quite small tip
kernels, 1 planted them. and found to
my satisfaction that they would grow,
and nicely, too. / have ever since
practiced this. In some instances the
tip kernels are imperfect or injured by
birds; also, the butts may become wat
er-soaked before they are secured In
the fall, and 80 may no: grow. In such
cases it would no doubt be best to re-
ject such when disco vered in time.

Rnchanan's Narrow Escane.

James Buchanan, when president.
has narrow escape from being mixed
up in the Sickles Key scandal. When
Buchanan was minister to England,
Sickles was his secretary of legation.
Mrs. Sickles was from Pennsylvania,
and was one of Buchanan's pets. He
thought as much of her as he would of
his own daug ter. When he became
president, Buchanan was very intimate
with the Sickles family. Whenever he
WAS tired, he had the habit of slipping
out of the white house and walking
through Lafayette park for a chat with
Gen. Sickles and his wife. The day
before Key was shot was Saturday.
Saturday morning Mrs. Sickles came
over to the white house and called
upon the president. Buchanan was
very fond of buckwheat cakes. Mrs.
Sickles called on him to tell him that
she had received some very nice buck
wheat -FOUR. from Pennsylvania, and
that she was going to have some hot
cakes for their Sunday breakfast atthe
Sickles residence. She invited the
president TO come over to breakfast
He, beguiled by bis love for the heated
slspj sck, rsptuously consented. Har-
riet Lane was then mistress of the white
house; and when she heard of the in
vitstion she advised the president not
to CO. At that time Washington society
understood fully the nature of the in
trigue between Key and Mrs. Sickles
Gen. Sickles and Buchanan were the
two last men to learn of the scandal
Miss Lane was asked by the president
to give a reason for declining to go to
breakfast. Said she: 81 do not care to
give my reason. Act upon my judg.
ment and you will decline" Buchapsn
was moro impressed by her manner
than words. When the tragedy tooK
place Buchanan fairly shaddered at
his escape. If he had gone to the
breakfast, he would have been with
Mrs. Sickles at the time of the shoot
ing of Key. The world would have
believed him one of Mrs. Sickies'
lovers, and he would have been dragg-
ed into tn e scandal beyond al hope OF
escape-Pittsburg C,nme rcisl Gazette.

Mr.. Turner, of the circuit system,
reached the city yesterday, having in

for the Dade county coal mines, where
they will take up twenty years res

Ferguson and the negro is Henry In
gram. Arson and robbery, is the
charge upon which they were convict
ed, and in the crime the two were az
sociates. Several months ago, in Mer-
riwether county, an old mans barn
was fred, and while the family was
busy saving what they could from the
burning building, trunk containing
IS coo in money which was in the gen.
tleman's room in his lidence near the
barn, was stolen. The next morning
the trunk was found in the woods
near the residence and $1,000 in mon
ey was gone but SC 200 in bonds was
found in the trunk. The crime was
traced to Ferguson and Ingram, and
after their arrest they confessed, and
when their trial was called they plead
guilty. Ferguson had worked for the
man and while in his service ascer-
tanned that he kept large amount Of
money in his trunk. He says that
they fired the barn to draw the family
from the house; that they were SIC.
cessful, and then stole the trunk. Fer
