Judge James c. R,ce.
Springfield Record.

This Christian man died at his
home in the city of GAINESVILLE on
the End day of this month. To
record the death of this good man,
brings sadness to the writer as it
will also do to our readers. Judge
Rice was born in this county on
the 18th day of September 1916 and
was in his Goth year when he died.
Robertson county never gave birth
to better or nobler son. He was
twice elected to the important Office
of Circuit Judge of the tenth dis
trict, and during period of nine
years he held the courts in this
county. As a Judge, he was up
right. honest, and fearless in the
discharge of his duties, and possess
ed the confidence of the people.
As citizen, he was always ready
to discharge every duty resting
upon him. II was in private life as
husband. ii was beautiful to see the
tender care he always manifested
for his wife, whose comfort was
ever the greatest care of his life.
His whole life seemed to be spent
in devising fmeaDs to redeem-his
pledge to Glove and cherish her."
AS a father, as much can be said !;
for he was truly s'a slave" to his
children in seeking their advance
ment and comfort. AS Christian
and member of his church, his life
was truly spotless and without
blemish. Let us emulate the vir-
tues of this Christian man. He
leaves wife and two children, j.
w. Rice of Dover and Mrs. Ligon,
of Montgomery County.

The Product of Horse HAIR.

To those who think that the only
revenue derived from horses is what
they will bring for beasts of burden
or pleasure, and that their value is
gone when they cease to breathe,
the following figures may be- inter
esting The great bulk Of the
horse hair used in the United States
is imported from the Argentine re-
public and Uruguay. The hair
sells in BuenOs Ayres and Monte
video at from 26 to 80 cents per
pound, and it is packed in bales
weighing about 900 pounds, and
costing from $3.50 to $500 each. The
total amount imported in 1882 was
4,082,0 pounds of which 3,417,-
900 came from South America,
log, 800 from Mexico, and 100000
pounds from Russia. In the pre-
vious year the importation was
3,643, 1872 pounds, and in 1880 nearly
1000, 900 pounds but in 1879 it was
not quite 2,000.0OG pounds. Assu-
ming an average price of % cents
per pound, the amount imported
last year would reach total value
of about $l,150,000. The bulk Of
this horse hair is manufactured by
four or five concerns, one of which
is in Boston, one in New York, one
in Philadelphia, and one in Balti-
more.

The eMountq,neer" Exe,ted.

An employee at the Asylum here
drew fifth of the second capital
prize of $25, 900, in the Grand Draw
ing OF The Louisiana State Lottery,
last Tuesday, February 18th, aud
not the whole $25, 900 as the news
papers and he would like to have
it. We would give the name of
the lucky man, but don't know
whether he cares about having his
name published. The excitement
around Morganton, North Carolina
and eagerness with which the
newspapers were scanned to find
the name of the fortunate ticket
holder of No. 1853, revealed the
fact that numbers of our citizens
who would never have been sus-
pected of investing in lotteries,
held tickets in The Louisiana State
Lottery at New Orleans. The 18th
drawing will take place on Tuesday,
April Sth, when $262, 800 will be
in prizes under Gen'ls

A PSALM or LIFE.
HENRY W. LoNeFELLow.


Tell me net in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dreamT
For the soul is dead that SAUNDERS,
And things are not what they seem.
Life is realI Life is earnest
And the grave is not Its goal;
"Dust thou art, to dust returnest,"
Was not spoken OF the soul.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way,
But to act that each tomorrow
Finds us further than to-day.
Art is long, and time is fieeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave
Still, like mLffied drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
In the worlds broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of LIE,
BE not like dumb, driven cattlel
Be a hero in the strife.
Trust no fortune, howe'er pleasant;
Let the dead past bury its dead:
Act-act in the living present
Heart within and God o'erhead
Lives Of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime:
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time
Footprints that perhaps another,
Sailing DER LIES solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate,
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.

Health Hints.

Mr.. Stone: People who, from long

little remedies, that if taken in season,
will prevent or break up slight Illness,
which if neglected until considered
sufficiently serious to call for the skill
of Il physician, often leads to severe
sickness and perhaps death. There
are two or three which have seen
used many times with such unfailing
success | have wished it were possible
for me to make them more generally
known at this time, when there is so
much sickness prevailing everywhere.
When the first symptoms of cold
appear-e especially if there are chills-
do not wait for bedtime, wien, if not
better You will take n sweat, but wrap
about you thick wooden shawl pin
ming it closely at the throat, and seat
Yourself as near to good warm fire as
possible, at the same time sip a teacup
of boiling wat containing dessert
spoonful Tor more if your stomach will
bear it) of lemon juice-not extract.
After sweating slightly for Il little while
you will begin to feel comfortable and
breathe with perfect case. Then loosen
the shawl at the throat, gradually
throw it back while still near the fire
although it is best not to altogether
lay it aside for an hour or two. If you
are careful not to again get chilly you
will be pretty sure to I've us well as
ever by the next morning. ...
When IL cold is talen'and IA person is
hot and fevcrish, cream of tartar water
taken freely will give relief and entirely
break up all tendency to fever. Prepare
it in this way: A heaping half tea
spoonful of cream tartar TO tnmbler of
cold water: sweeten to suit the taste.
Even when II physician is employed
there are few who will not allow this
cool and beneficial drink in connection
with their prescriptions. IL.
