Hope.
1t is somewhat singular that it is the little
state of Rhode Island, least of all the Sisters
in the Union. that should have inscribed up
on her seal the one word Hope. One would
think that the founders OF the state had
foreseen that in its chief city, Providence,
there would afterwards be discovered a rem
edy for the afflicted, which has inspired
more hope in the hearts of the sick than
any presented to the public. Bat whether
they dreamed of Hunts Remedy or not,
that medicine is produced IN Rhode Island,
and embodies in 1t the cheering word of her
state seal, HOPE. Nor does it bid men hope
only to mock their hopes, but with power
to satisfy and cure. To all who have dropsy,
weakness of the back produced by an affec'
tionof the kidneys or any other ailment of
the kidneys or urinary organs, Hunts Rem
edy comes with hope. Try it, and you will
bless both Little Rhody and Little Rhody's
most celebrated production, Hunts Rem.

ENOUGH.


Political prophets are more numerous
than weather prophets. They are gener-
ally, also, as wide of the mark in their pre-
dictions. There are certain public men who
must feel fiattered at the amount of atten-
ton they are receiving in connection with
the presidency. Every man who has ever
come prominently before the public in an
official capacity is boosted forward as a
possible candidate for president. The
whole talk is, OF course, guess work. No
body is able, at the present time. to predict
with any certainty who will be the demo-
cratic or republican candidate for president.

WAS 1T MURDER
A Startling KumOr Regarding an Affair
In Fort Notwithstanding That
Demands Investigation.
Talk With a Detective, Who Says Things
Are Net Always as They Seem
Police News.

A startling rumor, hesrd on the streets
Monday and Tuesday, was still floating
about yesterday, TO the effect that The cutting
scrspe reported az occurring Saturday night
was really a murder, and that Of the most
cold-blooded Bature. OF the fact that an
unknown negro was dangerously cut there is
not the least doubt, and there ia some further
foundation for the rumor in the fact that
80 far the name of the man who was stabbed
is not stated, and that his name Is unknown.
II il vaguely said that he lived at Horn
Lake, and that he was removed BY his
friends. A negro named George Houston
and another nsmed Lee Caldwell, who were
both present wher the deed was committed,
could probably give some information on
the s~ubject-enough at least 10 clear
Gir owu skirts. There is an air
81 mystery about the whole proceeding
that strikes one strangely, and il is epoken Of
as something that demands the closest scru-
tiny, az does everything else about BirrelI's
G arden. which hiss been Tor years one OF the
vilest dens in this part OF the country-s
bedlam every night in the week and all day
Darrell himself is spoken Of AS a
pretty clever sort Of fellow, and lhose who
know him are surprised that he would allow
his place to be q rendt zrous for thieves and
and all the worst members of
society. The stories told OF the internal
working of the place grow daily worse and
are too filthy Tor publication. The only
other place of the kind that has existed in
the county for years Cottage Grove Gar
den-was broken up some time since.

HOW TO MAKE Cows GIVE MILK-A
writer in the Southern Furmer says that
his COW gives all the milk that is wanted
in family of eight, and that from it., af-
ter taking all that is required for other
purposes, 26O pounds of butter were made
this year. This is in part his treatment
of the COW: IF you desire to get a large
yield of rich milk give your cows every
day water slightly warmed and slightly
sailed, in which bran has been stirred at
the rate of one quart to two gallons Of
water. You will find, if you have not
tried this daily practice, that your cow
will give twenty-five per cent. more milk
Immediately under the effects of it, and
she will become so attached to the diet as
to refuse to drink clear water unless very
thirsty. But this mess she will drink al
most any time, and ask for more. The
amount of this drink necessary is an ordi-
nary water pail at a time, morning, noon
and night.
