THE Levy Court of Sussex Couu ty
Is rather an iueonsistept-t -ta3y. Al
their last sess.ion the proceedings OF
which appearin thispaperl, they adop-
teJl resolutions, which require the
Trustees of the Poor Of Sussex, to make
itemized annual statements, OF the
proceeds and expenditures ofthe Aims
LSase and farm and directed that the
said resolutions be printed in every
paper in the County. Now this is all
tight, so far rs it goes. What the peo-
pie want, is to know what those re-
eeipts and expenditures are. The
cart has been put before the horse in
this instance, and should receive the
consideration ofthe Levy Cougt. They
should publish their proceedings in de-
tail in every paper in the County. An
amount could be appropriated to pay
for the work, and ifany paper thought
it Insufficient / could leave the pub
lishing severely alone.

THE idea that the peope must rC
amused, was never more thoroughly
illustrated than on Wednesday of this
week. Thousands crowded to see the
"shog.N
The circus may be, and undoubtedly
q, accompanied by roughs and imiuor-
Al people; but il IS bolu to thousands
who have no other amusement. It
gives them something to think about,
beside the hard grind of their daily
lives. Almost at daylight the first
eager siglt-seer may be seen entering
town, perhaps bringing his dinner in
a little tin bucket. Later, every road
leading to the town is lined with vehi-
cles of the eager throng. We saw one
large load, whipping up their mules,
and in the eXuberance of their JOY
singing. "Sweet Bye and Bye" at the
tops Of their voices.
There are many living at distances
of ten or twenty miles from town,
whose only conveyance is an ox-cart,
and whose only indulgence in the way
of amusement is the circus. TheiT
lives are 50 narrow and hard that
many of them sink into hopeless des-
pondeney. Statistics show that the
insane asylum receives more patients
from the ranks of the farmers wives,
than from any other class. 1t is not
because their husbands are cruel, not |
thai their work is so hard but that
the monotony oftheir lives is So terri /
bic, and at last unbearable.
There is something almost pathetic
in The sight Of those careworn faces as
shey light up and glow at the sight of
the gay trappings and the sound ofthe
music. The trite and possibly vulgar
Jokes ofthe clown cause them to laugh
heartily; and at night they 90 home
tired but happy.
So we say, let an occasional circus
come. Until the people are provided
xith higher kind Of amusement, IT
does more good thsu 1t does harm.

When potted plants become pot
bound, the effect is seen in checked
growth, yellow foliage and imperfect
blooms. They should then be repotted
in slze larger, OF the bali of earth set
into water with the chill of, until the
earth dissolves from the roots, then re-
poted in poi the same size, with fresh
soil and shaded for few days until the
roots get established. / have often
treated plants in bloom in this way
without injury. When the pots get
green they should be washed inside and
out; few aours soaking will loosen
the coating, when it may be washed off
with a rag or brush. Plants always
grow best in clean pots. Rooted cut.
tings should not be potted in too large
pots; p inch pots are usually large
enough; | have seen men pot cuttings
in 6 and inch pots, The best soil for
plants is pasture sods pared thinly and

luxuriate in such soil. A mixture of

Agricultural, and TO raise his food out

The disease which does net conf1e man to his
bed so completely units him for business as dys
pepsia. When the stomach is foul, the brain is
always muddy and confused, and as the cares and
anxieties Of life are a sufficient burden for the or
gan of thought to boar, without beng tormented
by the missries born Of Indigestion, it is highly
desirable for the brains sake, as well as for the
sake of every other portion o, the system, that
the disordered stomach should be restored with
the utmost dispatch to a healthy, vigorous con
dition. The object can ALWAYS be accomplished

st. Paul Pionor Press.

A little after s o'clock yesterday
morning an accident occurred which
will result in the death of Eugene Her
nois, and was caused by his own fooi
ishness in playing with supposed uu-
loaded revolver. Hernois lives with
his wife ard baby 10 Minneapolis,
where he is yardmaster Of the ON aha
road. His father and mother live in
West St Paul, on Concord street, and
Eugene and his family had been spend
ing Sunday with the old folks and were
about returning home. He showed to
MS parents revolver which he had
purchased for his wife's protection,
and then removed sll the shells except
one, but supposed all the chambers
were empty. He was asked to put it
up, but he snapped the trigger once too
often, and ball passed through his
scrotum and then into his intestincs,
where it now Is. Drs. Wheaton and
Thomas were called and dressed his

A Bride Feels Funny in Long Frocks
From th, Fort Gaines Gazatte.

FROM tue 4 orr VI aiLts NhAtNtts
There was quite q romantic marriage
at the court house Wednesday evening,
the contracting parties being j. r R5!-
Inns, of Henry county, Ala, and Miss
-, of Lawrenceviile, Ala. The
bride is a young lady about 16 years OF
age and was going to school in short
frocks. The groom, although having
been married once before, was going
to the same school The parents OF
the young lady objected to her mar
riage to Rollins, but love laughs at
locksmiths, so runaway match was
planned. Rollins found out he could
steal her away from the house at din
uer time, so he steals her and runs
away with her and brings her over here
in Georgia and msrries her and that
was the end Of it. Before the bride
started on her trip she went over to a
neighbours house and borrowed some
long frocks. She said she felt so funny
IN them she did not know what to do.
