machine worked nicely, and did its work
well-so say the witnesses. Mr.. Kramer
is not only very extensive farmer, but a

Getting suspicious.

About February last party appeared at
the Exchange, the upper end of this coun-
ty, who purchased most of the tobacco
growing in that section of the country,
paying for it a price ten per cent. higher
than it will bring in market to-day. To
clinch the bargain, portion of the pur-
chase money was paid down, and a re-
ceipt taken therefor. Since these tran.
sactions nothing has been heard of the to-
bacco merchant. Those who sold him
their tobacco are now exercised over his
non-appearance, and are getting suspicious
that possibly in signing the receipt they
may have been inveigled into sort of
blank note that could be filled in by the
party holding it with such figures as he
might surmise the obligee would be able to
pay. The fact that these tobacco raisers
fear the preparation Of such swindle on
them, proves how loosely many members
of our farming community do business.
Many of them sign papers without reading
them, most reprehensible practice, and
one that has often proved great loss to
individuals. No person, let him be far
mer or otherwise, should sign any paper or
manuscript, not even petition, without
reading and critically examining it, and if
he fails to thoroughly understand its i'm.
port or object, he should withhold his sig
nature until he does. BY observing this
rule it would prevent many heartburn
ings and loss of property. 1t is especially
necessary in these days when business
morality is at discount and thousands
avoiding the honorable pursuits of indus
try essay to make a living by sharp prac.
tice and by cheating and fleeing the un-
wary and unsuspecting. g.-DanpiAe IntelH-

Registration of Physicians ana
SurReOns,


In the case Of the rule to strike off the
registration of DIR. Joseph L. Bauer an
opinion was filed by Judge Elwell on the
LIST instant, holding that prothonotary
has no authority to register as physician
aud surgeon person to whom diploma
has been issued by medical college Of an.
other state, without the production Of the
diploma endorsed by the medical faculty
of medical college or university of this
state. A certificate by the secretary of a
medical college that he has examined the
diploma and believes 1t to be genuine, is
held not to be compliance with the Act
OF June, 1891. The authority to make
the examination required by the Act can
not be delegated by the faculty to one Of
their number. AS the record in this case
does not show upon its face that the di-
ploma has been exhibited to the faculty Of
any medical institution in this state the
registry Of the doctor was unauthorized
and Is therefore stricken from the record.
We understand that the case will be taken
to the Supreme Court.

Raising Chickens.

Do not be in hurry to invest in incuba-
tors, if you are farmer, and have any
thing else to do besides looking after the
poultry yard. The wooden incubators are
well enough for men who have plenty OF
money, and make the raising of eggs a
specially. A good many things about in
cubators are not yet proved, and farmer
who has his bread to earn, can afford to
wait little longer and use the original
method for Matching and raising chickens,
The hen is good for dozen eggs, and if
she be left to her own selection of nest, is
pretty sure to hatch them, if they are fertil-
lied. You may protect her against YER
min, but she covets privacy, and desires to
be left alone. When her brood is off, she
needs little help, coop for shelter, and
regular feeding with mixed diet of ami
NAL and vegetable food, and water or milk
to drink-the latter if you can get it,
Nothing is better than milk for the fowls.
The young chicks will help, rather than
hinder in the garden, until they are a
month or six weeks old. They will destroy
multitude of insects, and thrive on them.
The early Matched chickens are best fol
layers, but late summer is quite as good
for broilers. They never come amiss at
any time on the farm. Wm. CW in Au'ert
can AgiculttTistJ for July.

Final Notice to Subscr ibers out of
the County.

Two weeks ago or more we sent bills to
every subscriber who resides outside of
Columbia county, and have received re-
sponses from very few. We are tired of
paying postage on newspapers that are not
paid for, and we are tired of paying pos
tage on duns to which no attention is paid,
and we therefore give notice now, that
positively all papers going out of the county
that are not paid for by the Goth OF July,
will be stopped on that date, and thereafter
all papers outside of the county will be
stopped on the date to which they are
paid. Subscribers who do not wish the
paper stopped then, will forward years
subscription, $1.75, before the expiration
of the previous year. Subscribers in the
county will bear in mind that this matter
has no reference whatever to them. 2w

President PoIk's widow.
Nashville Banner.1


Right In the heart of Nashville stands
large, old.fashioned homestead Of dull red
brick, Its roof projecting over the broad
piazza, supported by great fluted pillars,
and its general aspect conveying an impress
sion Of severe statelness, in pleasing vari-
ance with the distorted, woud-be fashion,
able architecture in the same neighborhood.
A long lawn stretches in front of the house,
and its pleasant green mouotony is un-
broken save by plain and massive tomb
eptaph in the simple inscription, James X.
Polk.
A ring at the bell brought to the door a
good-natured colored girl, who took our
cards to the venerable and venerated widow
of President Polk,
Time, of course, has stolen the vivid COL
oring and curved outlines of youth, but he
has not robbed her of the upright figure
and dignifed carriage, and has left bright.
ness in her eyes and vivacity in her voice,
beside lending an added charm In her
faultless manners.
From the library of the dead president,
she can gaze upon the tomb that marks his
resting place, and in that same library re-
mains his hat, gloves and cane, just where
he laid them when he came home for the
last time. The book he was reading lies
open on the table, and the papers Of the
day beside it.
In society, and fond Of 1t, Mrs. Polk has
yet never accepted an invitation since her
husbands death, though with graceful hos
pltality and tact she has received on the
first day of each year the Tennessee legis-
lature, which adjourns in body to call
upon her-and which, am told, is the
highest compliment ever paid by state
authorities to lady-and the civil, judi
cial and ecclesiastical bodies make it point
| to pay their respects to her.

MEDICAL VALUE OF WINES,

AS general rule the use OF wine is not
necessary for young or adult persons in
good health, breathing country air and not
exposed to overwork. AS however life
advances and the circulation becomes Ian
guild, natural red wine used in moderation,
becomes an essential article and in many
cases absolutely necessary but it must be
the pure products of the grape. And even
in the Eastern States the physician meets
large numbers of town people, especially
women, who cannot digest the food and
drinks suited to outdoor laboring people.
In such cases they resort to the beverage
of tea which gives rise to distressing dys-
pepsia. The wines introduced in New
Jersey, especially the Burgundy and the
Port Grape Wines from Alfred Speer's
Vineyards, at Passaic, N. j., are the more
reliable and most sought after by those who
travelled and know what wines are.
Alfred Speer, Passaic, N. j.
Dear Sir.-I have used your Socialitt
Claret aud your Port Wine in my practice
with great satisfaction.

We witnessed the working of an Os-
borne reaper and binder on the farm of N.
U, Funk, on the afternoon of the 4th.
Sheriff Carter, the general agent, was on
the ground experimenting the trial, and
number of spectators were present. The
machine weighs little over 1900 pounds,
and three horses hauled 1t over the field
with ease 1t took up the grain perfectly
clean, and left the sheaves behind 1t with
great rapidity No matter how crooked
the grain went in, it came out perfectly
straight. AS much work was done with
the machine in three hours as five men did
in a whole day. At this rate it pays for
itself in one or two seasons. We do not
profess to know a great deal about agicul-
tural machinery, but we do know that the
Osborne does its work in very satisfac-
tory manner, and cannot see that there is
much room for improvement. Harman Il
Hassert are the local agents.

fire broke out in one of Rev. j. p. Tus-
tins houses on 1st street, occupied by MIR.
Amos Buckalew. The fire was first dis
covered issuing through the weather boards
near the front door. There was no flue to
the building near where the fire was, nor
any way of producing fire from outside or
inside of the house at that point and it is
concluded that matches must have been
carried between the lining by mice and ig-
nted. The fire companies were promptly
at the fire, the Winona first, followed by
the Rescue and Friendship. Very little
damage was done by the fire, but the house
with contents was thoroughly drenched
with water. We are informed that there is
a liberal insurance on both house and house
hold goods.
