From one end Of the land to the other,
wherever these famous remedies have
been used, there is but one verdict--that
they are the only medicines now or ever
before the people that gave unvarying
satisfaction in the treatment Of diseased
animals. They are not experiment, but
have been tested by many of the largest
stock-owners in the country, and when
once used, have established their merit.
No farmer, livery man or stock-owner
should be without them they will save
thousands Of dollars if properly used.

The Spirit of the Farm.
Nashville World,

Nashville World.
The above is the title of "a new agri-
cultural and live stock paper, the pub
lication of which will be commenced
here shortly. hepaper will be owned
by stock company composed of a
number Of prominent farmers of the
state. Capt. Ben Herd, so welFknown
as an agricultural writer, will be the
editor of the new paper and will be
assisted by Charles F. Vanderford, of
Rutherford county. Success to the
Spirit of the Farm.
From the above notice we are
soonto have new and agricultu-
raj and live stock journal to be pub
lished in Nashville, "The Spirit of the
Farm" with Capt. Ben Herd editor
and Charles F. Vandeford as assistant.
From the reputation of these gentle
men we have no doubt they will con-
duct the enterprise with ability and
success. We will gladly welcome the
new paper tc prominent position in
Tennessee agricultural journalism. We
shall be pleased to see it take front
rank in the great work of improving
our system and modes of farming and
stock raising. The field is large-"the
harvest is great and the laborers are
few" There is room and work fol-
half dozen more good agricultural pa
pers in Tennessee if published in the
interest of the people. At least every
congressional district should have ar
agricultural paper, and two for
the State at large. 1t is absolutely
necessary that large majority of oul
farmers, especially small farmers, should
read more about farming and how tC
make farming pay. Tennessee ha
long felt the want of agricultural pa
pers. We have been dependent upol
other States for farm literature Ions
enough. 1t is time to wake up ant
right about in this as well as othe
things. The want of agricultural liter
ature is one reason why Tennessee is s
far behind in the art of farming. Whel
we began the publication of the STAN
DARD as an agricultural paper, eightee
months ago, we believe then there wa
not an agricultural paper published il
the State. Since that time Souther
Industries has started and is doing
noble work. The Chattanooga Rurs
Record was also started some timeafteI
We shall be glad to see more papers i
1 the State devoted to agricultural pull
. suits, and hope our farmers will apprt
J ciate and support them. We hope tn

OFFICE SOUTHERN STANDARD.
McMinnville, Aug. II, 1888.
We note some changes in the mar
ket since last week. While wheat has
improved, corn has declined fully 3
cents and is very dull. The Southern
market for corn is much depressed on
account of an over supply. In the
produce market eggs are higher; fresh
are worth cents in this market and
scarce. Beeswax is lower. Other ar.
ticles remain unchanged.
We clip the following comments from
the American of the 18th:
Groceries firm and in good demand,
with an advance of from I to ] cent in
coffee. Flour holds its own well, being
still in demand. Sugar is also in re-
quest.
Grain and hay continue dull. Corn
will soon take another tumble. Some
large sales were made today, sellers
making concessions. Wheat is in bet
ter demand, especially good wheat.
The city mills which will grind thi:
season will consume u or 10 car loads
day, which will create a local de-
mand.
Country produce was quiet with lit
tie doing. Eggs are scarce and dealer;
anticipate decline. The provision
market is quiet and steady.

LIFE IN ALASKA.

Observations in that Country by n Young
Lady.
We are permitted TO make the follow
ing extracts from letter received by
Captain E. p. Bruner, of this city, from
his neice, Miss Bessie Matthews, of
Monmouth, Illinois, who has been re-
siding for some time at Haines, Chilcat
county, Alaska:
81 reached Sitka on the 18th of Sep
TENDER, having had very pleasant
journey; but was not well while there,
and began to fear that had made g
mistake in coming at all. The climate
there is so damp and it rains so much
of the time, though the town is pretty,
and in the days of the cars dominion
must have been q grand place. Now,
however, there are few remnants of its
former splendor, only few Of the pub
lie buildings being left-the castle, the
custom house and the barracks. There
is not much society there, and the hap
piest hours spent there were at the
house OF Father MetrepolesKy, the Kus-
sian priest, who, according to the rules
of the church, is marE4ed, and has a
charming family of children.
We are about 300 miles north Of Sitka
and about 1000 miles north of San
Francisco. The Chiicat country is 6
long, narrow peninsula between the
Chilcat and Chilcoot inIets, and
where our place, Haines, is sit
uated is bay in the Chilcoot. We are
in the narrowest part of the peninsula,
and the causeway is just across from us
on the other side. Excepting the long
mountain north of US all have snow
capped tops. This is a beautiful coun-
try, but here it is lonely. There are no
white people nearer than the salmon
cannery, TO reach which we have TO
walk over two milcs-one through the
thick spruce pine woods. and a very
hard, long mile down the beach ON the
other siao. The walk through the
woods is only an Indian trail and is
wild IN the extreme. The moss forms a
thick carpeting almost all through
the woods. There is also q per-
feet wealth of ferns and flowers, and !
have had fresh, beautiful boQuet for
church every Sunday since April.
Our house, which is made of rough
boards, is close TO the beach, and am
lulled to sleep every night by the tide
breaking upon the shore. 1t is now
nearly 10 O'Clock and it is stIll light
enough to write. 1t Will be broad day
light again by 9 O'Clock in the morn
ing. Alter a while we will have. as

They had very little snow in Sitka
this last winter, and there was only once
that we bad frost on the windows.
EThe signal officer told me
that the lowest thermometer was 40
degrees above zero, but there was eight

sympathy with the undertaking.
A number Of towns, and notably WITCH

The annual meeting of the StLte Tenn

ford,s opera house, Topeka, Tuesday and
Wednesday, September IS and 10. begin
ming at 8 O'Clock on Tuesday. Three
sessions each day viii be held. The
morning and afternoon sessions win be
devoted to business, and the evening
sessions to addresses. 1t is expected
that Neal Dow, John B. Cough, John D.
Finch, and other speakers CT renown
from abroad will be present
Those entitled to admission, under the
constitution. are the Individual members
of the Union, and three delegates from
every church, Sunday school and socie-
u which has contributed to its funds.
While this Is the constitutional basis Of
representation, the convention will not
be exclusive. A cordial invitation Is ex-
tended to all persons and societies in
sympathy with the temperance cause to
meet the members of the State Union,
for mutual conference upon matters of
common interest.
We are unable. as yet, to announce
special railroad rates, though every
effort has been made to secure such fa-
vcrs. If successful in our efforts in this
direction, announcements will be pub
lished in the papers throughout the
state.
In this connection, we desire 70 re-
mind our subscribers that many of them
are still in arrears, several thousand dol
lars remaining unpaid. Please remit
your subscriptions (if unpaid) before the
convention, or come prepared TO pay the
! same.
a thorough system of organization
throughout the state, and a prudent ex-
pendIture of reasonable amount. of
money, will result In the absolute en-
forcement Of the prohibitory law.
The result of the cases recently tried
in the district court at Topeka, demon
strates that convictions Of liquor dealers
are by no means mere visions OF fanati-
cism. Eleven cases were tried in nine
days, resulting in eleven convictions,
aggregating thirty-seven counts. That
kind of medicine, il administered long
enough, will cure the malady.
The individual members of the union
who attend, OF course will need no crc-
dentials; but those who represent socie-
ties should procure duplicate credentials
and send one copy IL advance 10 the sec
rotary and retain one copy.
Parties to whom this circular is sent.
or who read it in the papers, will please
give it as great publicity as possible.
Ministers are especially urged to make
a brief announcement of the convention
at the earliest possible opportunity.
Very truly yours,

Last Saturday morning l met Billy

at the M, K. s. T. depot, and waited
three hours for the south bound freight
train. We found it good place to study
patience and perseverance. We talked
about hotel keeping, farming, stock
raising, banking, newspaper publishing,
preaching, camp meetings, nearly ev
erything. One OF the company at last
propounded the following oouundrum !:
"Why do the young men leave the hotel
near the depot so early in the morning ?"
