The Press, (Rep.,( says:

The Press, (Rep.,) says:
prospects Frightening. New
York very close, both parties claim
ing it, but Republican victory is
probable. We think that the Re-
publicans have won in the great
contest, now, as heretofore. 1t APP
pears that New York State, with it's
SO electoral votes, is the key to the
situation, although some of the lat
est dispatches give the State to
Cleveland"
On the other hand, the Argus,
(Dem.,) says:
"The election of Cleveland is as.
.sured beyond the possibility of a
doubt"

make Hay.

Every planter should make all the
hay possible and as o o as practi-
cable. Every owner of a horse, mule
or COW, whether he be a planter or not.
should do the same thing. There are
tens of thousands of acres of land in
each Of the Gulf States now 0ccu-
pied by excellent hay grasses, that
are Just ready for the blade. A great
portion of these grasses will not be
harvested by the owners who have no
lands.
Gather these grasses BY hand, or
cut with sharp hoes; sickles. scythes,
among the cultivated crops ; or in the
open fields with cradles and mowers.
|I know parties who have already
made two mowings of the common
broom grass and cured two tons per
acre of nice hay from it, and who will
soon make o third cutting. Many cat
lie we're carried through the last-yery
trying winter in fine condition on this
grass almost alone. Grass, fine hay
grass, Ii now abundant everywhere
that the rains have fallen and shoI'ss
be saved before seeding, if possible.s
After seeding, the hay viii be less
valuable. Broom grass must be cut
before starting tile seed stem. In the
early stage it is tender, nutritious and
greedily consumed by cattle, sheep,
horses, etc.
The following Milking Rules ran
against our shears last week. Some
OF our amateur dairymen may care 10
see them :
Ist. Let some boy turn the cows
away and get one who is fond Of
throwing stones and switching the
hind ones every chance he gets.
2nd. Milk early In the morning and
late at night, dividing the
day into two portions, one d
fifteen hours and the other nine.
Bird. Whack the COW " the back
with the stool, or speak sharply to hel
IL she does not sss0'' Or sshoist.p
4th. Milk slowly and carelessly,
and stop at first Stacking of the fluid.
5th. Keep the animal in q tremble
all the time you are milking, and
when done give her q vigorous kick.

thf Wft f the Leconte pear trees

now about fifteen years old
We visited these trees in June this
year lls84l, and found them in a per-
fectiy healthy condition and of q size.
that would surprise anyone having no
knowledge of the wonderful growth
of the Leconte. They vary but little
in size and all were thickly set with
fruit one. of the largest trees, now
about fifteen years old, Mr.. Varnedoe,
tile n believes will produce thirty
bushels of fruit this year. The same
trees produced forty bushels in 1852.
AT Mr.. III. I'll. Sanford's we found
some ten and twelve year old trees, all
of which were loaded with fruit ex-
cept a few trees grated on common
pear stocks These were not more
than half as large as those on their
own roots and had only a few scatter
ing pears on them. Mr.. Sanford says
his Lecontes on common pear stocks
are worthless, and he only lets them
remain as a witness to the fact that
the. Lecontes are only valuable on
their own roots.
We also visited Mr.. Thompson's
orchards at Smithville, Ga, one OF
which contains eighteen hundred
three year old trees planted on land
almost level. The view from n end
of the row to the other is uninterrupted,
and there is not a tree missing from it's
place in the whole orchard. The trees
are about twenty feet high, uniform in
size, pyramidal in shape and the hand
soonest picture in the way of an or
Ichard we ever saw,-not excepting
the beautiful orange orchards of Flori-
da. These trees are just beginning to
show some fruit, but are not expected
to bear profitable crops till the fifth or
sixth year.
To see is to believe, aud those peo-
pie who live within seeing distance
are making haste to profit by their ac-
tual knowledge, and will be far IN
advance of those more remote from
sach positive evidence
Asyndicate with a paid up capital
of $1,000 has been organized at Thorn
a~syille, Ga, to plant one hundred
acres in Leconte pear trees this fall,
and the trees are now ready and the
land prepared.
The above extract from in essay by
1 w. T. Heikes, H~orticulturists Ala.
shows the confidence in the Leconte
pear for the South, where it Is best
known.

In the year 1860 Jefferson Davis OF
Mississippi, Robert Toombs OF Georgia
and r. MT. Hunter of Virginia, were
members of the United States Senate,
and NOT only it's three most influential
members, but eminent Southern lead
ers. Each represented a State which
claimedand exercised q weighty IN.
1uence In the national council, and as
they belonged to the then dominant
partv and were champions of the theo-
ries that rested on slavery they pos
sessedt an authority which, in the pres
emit changed condition of things, it is
difficult to c~o1nprglend. The political
sky wore il troubled look in the spring
of 1860. The John Brown raid at Har.
per's Ferry had recently taken place,
showing what daring and desperate
measures abolitionism was capable OF ;
Kansas, after q fierce struggle, had
been lost to the South the growing
Republican party was preparing for
the Chicago convention that nominal
ed Abraham Lincoln there were
grave divisions in the Democratic par
ty that. had ruled the country for near
" fifty years ; and to complicate things
still more, there was q strong native
American element in the Southern
States which refused to ally itself with
the Southern Democracy in defence OF
the extremeaposition which the latter
claimed was necessary for the main.
tenanee of Southern Institutions and
interests. Congress was still in SEES
sion and it was observed that Davis,
Toombs and Hunter were frequently
sitting together in the Senate as it in
consultation. These consultations usu-
| ally took place at the desk OF the Sen
ator from Mississippi, and the fact was
remarked then, as proof OF the clearer
perspicaeity, stronger will and supe-
rior ability D fthe man who was destin-
ed afterwards to become chief of the

Early In November. 1891. while sewing ON the

In her side. which was soon followed by hrmor-
images from her lungs and q severe cough.
Fever commenced, shc could neither eat nor
Sloti. and in II few weeks Shn was reduced to q
living skeleton. The attending physician told
me that he thought one of her lungs was en-.
::-e!y gone. she could not retain tho most
delicate nourishmcnt on her stomach. I then
agreed with DIR. sullivan, my family physician,
to call DR.. Holloway In consultation. They
made a finnl examination Of the ratient, and
pronounced tho case hopeless. DR.. Holloway
then suggested the Brewers Lung ~Testorcr as
u last resort. sent for Il bottle. and gave her
q dose. I found that she could retain It on har
stomach, and after about Tho third dose I began
to notice So';ic Improvement In her condition.
continued the medicine regularly, aud by the
time shc had takc2 two bottles she was able to
walk about tho House. She Is now in better
health than she has enjoyed for several years.

Mr.. John Pearson 8 Statement .

In the Spring Of 1882 I was attacked with a
very bad cough, which continued to grow
worse until Fall, when l got SO weak that I
could not get about. l triod a great many
kinds Of medicine. but continued to grow
worse. I was notified that I had consumption,
and would probably die. DR.. Holloway finally
told me to try Brewer' Lung Rcstorer. They
commenced taking 1t right away After taking
two or three doses. I began to improve. and by
tho time I had used up one bottle I was able to
get on my feet again. l am now In excellent
health. I am confident that tho Lung Restorer
saved my life, and my %neighbors arc of the
same opinion. It Is the best Lung Remedy
that he would write to the manufacturers and
tell them OF tho wonderful euro It made in my
case.
