Road Work.

The Road Commissioners are having
some very substantial work done on
the Smithville road, in the neighbor-
hood of Dibrell. The ruts, gulleys,
and low places are being filled with
gravel, and the road put in first class
condition. We have heard several
complaints from persons travelling over
the Vervilla road, about bitches or
drains being cut across the road at such
an angle as to make a severe strain or
a vehicle passing over them. One
gentleman recently had a buggy broker
at one of these places with the horse in
walk.

to grade and gravel the road from this

the good work to begin at an early

if built, will be the beginning of a good

Prince B,smark's Ailments.

Perhaps no one in all Europe is more
deserving of pity, at present, than Prince
Bismarck. He suffers from one of the
most terrific ills to which humanity is
heir-a cruel, and in his case incurable,
form of face neuralgia. A nerve or
iginating in the brain and spreading in
three branches over his face is the seat
of the disorder. When the first of the
three branches is affected, the pain is
felt in the forehead, the eyes and the
upper eyelids. When the second is inn
plicated, the seats of the pain are the
unde- eyelids, nostrils, upper lip and
upper row of teeth. When the third
nerve is involved the victim is tortured
by exquisite pain in the under lip, low
er row of teeth and the chin. When all
three branches of this nerve tthe trig.
eminus1 are affected, the agony is simply
internal. This disease from which
Prince Bismarck is suffering is, in the
majority of cases certainly in his case),
the result of severe mental labor, anx-
iety and worry, ana oftener affects the
middle aged and the old than the young.
Bismarck allows his beard to grow be-
cause he cannot bear razor near his
face. He speaks in whisper, as if
fearing to rouse his tormentor, and often
when speaking tears fall from his eyes
with every word and roll down his fur
rowed cheeks into his snowy beard"
Such is the picture drawn by distin.
guished Berlin physician.

Agricultural Implements OF the
South

The south seems slow in introducing
improved agricultural implements
Farm labor is much cheaper there than
it is here at the north, and there seems
a disposition to adhere to old methods.
But southern farmers, who yet essay to
cultivate large areas, are forced. in some
degree, to adopt modern reapers, sepa-
rators, improved ploas, &c. The utility
of these economic implements will be.
come more and more evident as they
are introduced and used. Our great
northern manu- 'acturers are demOnstra-
ii; e to the southern farmer the expedi-
ency OF using their wares, and in Atlanta,
Chatanooga and other cities there are
even now establishments turning out
farming machinery. The Southern Cul-
tlvator, OF Atlanta, remarks: Harvest
ing wheat and oats, without neglecting
other crops, has always been a trouble
some problem with southern farmers.
Now that reapers have been greatly per.
fected, the trouble is decidedly iess.
Those planting on a large scale can run
reapers of their own; those who have
only few acres can get them cut by
persons who make reaping a business" )"
Thus our southern brethren are fitting
themselves to the situation, and as the
south is now, as it was ever destined to
be, the agricultural portion of the Union
par excellence, only few years will
elapse before southern agriculture will
equal, if not surpass, that of the Mort h
III most respects.

A Two Minute Sermon to Young la
dies

Ladies--caged birds ofbeautiful plum
age, but sickly looks; pale pets of the
parlor, who egetate in unhealthy at.
mosphere, like the potato terminating
IN dark cellar--why do you not go in
to the open air and warm sunshine, and
add lustre to your eyes, bloom to your
cheeks, elasticity to your steps and Wig
or to your frames? Take exercise; run
up the hill on wager, and down again
tor fun; roam the fields, climb the fences
leap the bitches, wade the brooks, and
after day of exh!laratng exercise and
unrestrained liberty go home with an
appetite acquired by healthy enjoyment
The beautiful and blooming y.alng lady
-rosy-cheeked and brght-eyed-wb
can darn stocking, mend her own
frock; command regiment of pots and
kettles, and be lady when required, is
q girl that young men are in quest of for
wife. But you pining, screwed up,
wasp-waisted, doll-dressed, consump-
-mortgaged, music numbering
novel devouring daughters of fashion
and idleness, you are no more fit for
matrlmony than pullet is to look after
a brood of fourteen chickens. The truth
is, my dear girls, you want less fashion,
able restraint and more liberty of action
more kitchen and less parlor; more leg
exercise and less sofa; more frankness
and less mock modesty. Loosen your
waist-strings and breathe pure atnos-
phere, and become something as good
and beautiful as nature designed.

Whria Glover

There is wonderful conversation of
ways and means in nature It has been
several years since there was as much
white clover seenas there is this season.
For the past three or four years there
has been but very little of it, in fact it
has scarcely been noticeable for some
seasons back. This year there is a
large amount oft The query is, where
did it all come from? or rather where
did the seed come from? In many
fields and gardens that have been reg
ularly cultivated for long time and
where no white clover was seen recent
ly the ground is well set with the plant
DO the seeds remain in the ground un-
injured and ready 10 grow under favor
able circumstances all this time? 1t
would appear so, thus showing the consef-
vatlve powers of nature in preserving
such small seeds. The seed of white
clover are not much larger than grains
OF gunpowder, and it is marvel how
they are preserved, and held in reali.
ness to sprout and grow where the
proper conditions are supplied. There
is no other way to account for the ap-
pearance at irregular intervals of an
a@G.ndant growth of the plant. No care
is taken TO preserve or propagate the
white clover, and yet it comes to the
front whenever the season suits it.
This fact ought to give one some idea of
the necessity of destroying the seeds of
foul weeds, as rag weed, ox-eye daisy
moth mullen and others. if the farmer
does not see to destroying them nature
will see 10 their preservation, and will
send them out to plague the careless
farmer in unexpected ways. times and
places
