There is no doubt that some of the Fed
eral offices in the South would be benefited
if changes in them could be made at once.
4 Washington special says that several
government officials who recently visited
New Orleans have informed the Secreta-
~ of the Treasury that the custom house
in that city is in very unclean cOndi-
ton. Persons who are supposed TO keep
the building in a state of cleanliness have
neglected their work to such an extent
that its general appearance, inside and
out, is digrace to the government. In
view OF the fact that thousands of people
frOUl all parts Of the world will probably
visit New Orleans to attend the eXpOsi-
ton. it is suggested that immediate steps
be taken to remedy the defects. The Sec
rotary will direct that several en-
ployes of the custom house be removed,
and also that the building be put in as
good condition as possible under the cir
cumstances.

reached the point where band Of healers

themselves as having been cured at Sat

Money to be Made.

1t is said that dull times are not known
by the agents for the great publishing
house of George Stinson g. Co., Of
Portland, Maine. The reason of this ex-
ceptiona! success is found in the fact that
they always give the public that which
is keenly appreciated and at prices that
all can afford. At present we under
stand, their agents are doing wonderfully
we'll on several new lines. They need
many more new agents in all parts of the
country. Those who need profitable
work should apply at once. Women do
as well as men. Experience is not neces-
sary, for Messrs. Stinson q Co. undertake
to show all who are willing to work, not
hard but earnestly, the path to large sue
cess. 1t should be remembered that an
agent can do handsome business with
out being away from home over night.
Another advantage-it costs nothing to
give the business trial, and an agent
can devote all his time, or only his spare
moments TO it. Stinson & Co. guarantee
grand success to all who engage and fol-
low simple aud plain directions that they
give. We have not space to explain all
here, but full particulars win be sent free
to those who address the firm; their full
address is given above.

Let Our Farmers FertIIIze.

Nothing has been more clearly and fully
demonstrated among the intelligent far
mers of this county than the fact that il
pays to use good commercial fertilizers.
Indeed, 20 coDclusively has this been
proven by repeated experiments, that no
intelligent tiller of the soil who has thin
land, will undertake to raise crop with
out resorting TO this means of increasing
its yield, By the judicious use of these
fertilizers, many farmers whose lands
were so worn out that five acres would
not produce q good bale of cotton, now
realize from half to three-quarters of a
bale per acre, with even less of labor in
cultivation. In no case does fertilizing
fail to pay well except when the season
happens to be very dry, and then there
will be very perceptible traces of its good
effects on the land the second year.
Many of our Brookhaven merchants
have not been slow in realizing the i'm
portance to them as well as the farmer,
Of encouraging this intelligent and pro-
gressive style of farming, and do ell they
can to cooperate with those farmers who
thus endeavor to increase the yield Of
their products. Among those who have
specially interested themselves in this
way may be mentioned the enterprising
firm of Messrs. Krauss & Levy, general
supply and advancing merchants. They
carry large supply of the best super
phosphates, and make Listers Standard
pure bone speciality. These they sell at
cheapest possible rates, well knowing the
advantages reaped by the farmer will al
so accrue indirectly to them and that
thus all will be profted.
We hope to see the use of fertilizers
home made and ommercial-increased
year by year. With an excellent clay
sub-soil, most of our lands are capable of
a high state of fertilization. Aud with
its freedom from overfows, to which
swamp lands are subject-its great and
uniform healthfulness-our section is
surely far better adapted to the building
up of happy and prosperous farm homes
than most localities that boast of soils
more fertile.

THE REAL TATTOOED MAN-BE1TS
THE PLUMED KNIGHT

As regards thoroughness OF execution,
artistic design and closeness of the work.
CARpozAUs, the "tattooed' Turk, here
Yesterday, is far superior TO any we have
ever had the pleasure of seeing. His
forehead, cheeks, nose, ears, eyes, neck,
breast, back, arms, palms of his hands,
legs and bottom of his feet being covered
with every known species of animals,
birds, reptiles, signs, arrows, knives,
spears, flowers, trees, etc., etc. This
man bears signs of having suffered ex-
treme tortue. He was tattooed when
only ten years of age. His history is
certainly very startling: his father was a
Slave Trader, he was captured 1860 and
tattooed, dying the fifth day of blood
poisoning.
This mans story of his tattooing is the
most probable one of any we have ever
heard of; his flesh, the style of the work,
the wounds ON his body, all tell tale
stronger than words of the torture he
suffered while in the hands of his cap
tors.

repaired, and general air of improve
ment and business on all sides was appa-
rent. The Foundry is one of the best and
most convenient in the State, and turns

which his efforts to maintain so creditable

merits, SO fully entitle him.
