We come once more to I'LL th,
vacancy Of the Bell school house cor
respondent for yaur valuable paper
News rather scarce in the neigh

The protracted meeting at Cor
NTH, conducted by Rev. George
Sharp, closed Sunday night.
The long talked of Methodist
church has at last been located, 3
quarter of q mile north Of Bell school
house, which is very suitable place
for church, and if all who could
would contribute as the Lord has
prospered them, we would soon
have a church that our community
might well be proud Of.
The school at Bell school-house,
with r. H. TIsdale as teacher, is
progressing finely. He is qualified
in every respect to teach . good
school, and so far, has given general
satisfaction.
The question has been asked :
What has become Of our Bell school
house correspondent. We give the
following as s reason forInot keeping
our word: The ChranevIlle cores
poudent lives in the immediate neigh

therefore gets his news directly from
the surrounding community. Net
wishing to make the news of the

capable Of giving the news in q more
correct, brief and clear manner than
ourselves. SEA.

Just over the county line, Ia Pauld-
ing county, lives Mr. Manning Phil
lips. He has 8 well forty-fve feet
deep, walled up with rock forty feet.
he couid get no one to go down ia it
to finish the work desired until last
Monday. when Mr, James Psss, =
fearless, able-bodied fellow, said he
wasn't afraid to go down in the old
well. A rope WAS fastened to his
body, and he was lowered nearly to
the bottom, when those standing
around the vel, on top Of terra firma,
heard rumbling noise, and were
horrified to see the rock wall and
dirt t,imbling in upon the living man
in the depths below. There came
faint cry for help. His audible
voice invoked the presence and pray
er of the preacher. The holy man
Of God replied: .sI'll do what / can
for you, Jimmie" And, thus cem-
pletely walled in with rock absve
him, below HIM and around him
he was unable to move his body, but
managed to get his hand to his meuth
and push the dirt away. The rope
around his body was cutting him
fearfully. The men above thought
lessly tugged away at the rope, and
were about to pull him in twain. He
succeeded in getting his knife out Of
his pocket and severed the rope that
bound him. The men worked for
dear life in removing the rock and
dirt and to rescue Mr.. Poss frem his
suffocating tomb. For seven hours
and . half he Was thus imprisoned.
When he was reached he Was almost
unconscious, but the fresh air soon
revived him. He thanked God and
and his rescuers for deliverancs, and
said he went tdownin that we'll . wick
ed man, but from heneeforth he would
lead 3 different life.-Marietta (Ga. J

FoK years fiocks Of wolves and
predatory wild animals hung around
the herds of buffalo that reamed
over the ranges, until the advancing
settlements and incursions Of man
drove the bison and his natural foes
from their old-time haunts. Now
that the Wild cattle are almost ex-
tinct, and their places have been
taken by domestic herds. tho Weives
are abandoning their scansy prey,
which they have pursued 90 leng,
and are returning in large numbers
to attack the new stock In their old
lsirs. From ali over Montana and
Wyoming come reports that welves
are more numerous than have been
known for years. and the slaughter
Of calves and older stock tho phst

In his spesch at the TammAny eel
ebration last Friday night. Mr.. Ran
dali laid down an admirable pro-
gramme for the Democrats in con-
gress. He spoks smphatically In
favor Of recovering the foRfeitAble
land grants, and said: .sThe Deme-
Gratis must abolish every unnecessary
Office; they must at once bring the
Government down to economy, and
must at once reduce the sxtraordina-
rily great This probably
means that Mr.. Randall will be pre-
pared to submit measure Of his own
for effecting this object to the next
session Of congress. Il - knewn
that an essential part OF his plan ls
to abolish the internal revenue taxes
first, or greatly reduce thom, and
simplify the system 30 as to gst rid
OF a great many costly offices. A
majority for free whisky can hardly
be mustered in the present congress,
but Mr.. Randall may be able to pro-
pose compromise scheme for re-
ducing both duties and direet taxes
which can pass both houses. Post

Ne More Dspusy MarslaIs.

Republicans arc exhibiting some
curiosity to know what the Demo-
Gratis will do when they come into
power--what sort Of policy they viii
adopt, what Republican measures
they will undo. and what ones they
will leave alone. It Is too early to
crafty this natural curiosity; the
victors themselves cannot at this time
accurately define their policy in all
matters. But there is one Republic
can practice which, it is safe to say,
will be abolished-the employment
Of deputy United States marshais to
oversee the peoples elections. It
was dist&steful to Democrats st the
beginning, and the shameful abuse
Of it in Ohio at the October election
made it particularly repulsive. The
Democrats, il they were inclined to,
might preserve the law on the statute
book to be used hereafter to their
advantage; such aturningo of Repub-
iican weapons against their inysntofs
would have certain retributiye JUS
tice in it. But the Democracy il =
party of principle, not Of retaliation.
Its object is, not to punish It's enc
mics, even with their own weapons,
but to govern the country wisely,
and allow the people the very largast
measure Of personal and public lib
erty consistent with the public order.
The deputy marshal system ls . part
Of the Republican regime. and it will
share the fate CT the party that In
vented it.-Republican.

Feed the Oats.

The oat crop of the country is an un- usually good one. Prices are low for this grain. Let us hope that one good effect of this state of affairs will be that farmers generally will make more use of oats in their own feeding. We do not believe in all the bad things said about Indian corn. It is good deal better food for horses. cattle. sheep, hogs or poultry than it sometimes gets credit for. But it ought not to be the exclusive grain food if oats are abundant and low priced. For young stock colts, calves and lambs -oats. either whole or ground. are an admirable feed. The value of this grain for driving horses is also gen. orally admitted. Why should not farm horses have them freelyp We much like at least an occasional feed of oa,s in the sheaf for milch cows in winter, and have found oats answer capitally as food for fatting steers. In many parts of the West oats will not be worth, on tho farms. over one-half to three-fourths of a cent per pound. At these prices they can certainly be fed to advantage. We'll saved oat-straw is food of very consid- erable value. We count it one of the disadvantages of our climate that, over much of the country, our summers are too hot and dry for the best develop ment of the oat crop. The season that best suits the corn crop is not calculated to give large yield of heavy oats.-- Breeders Gazette.

Stumbling Horses.

The Pittsburgh Stockmdn. in a recent issue, says: Some good horses are ad- dcted to stumbling while walking or moving in slow trot. A well versed veterinarian states that there are two causes that would tend to produce this faulty action: one, a general weakness in the muscular system, such as would be noticed in tired horse; the other q weakness of the extensor muscles of the leg. brought about by carrying too much weight on the toe. To effect . cure, he adds, Tighten the weight of each front shoe about four ounces; have the toe of the shoe made of steel instead of iron, it will wear longer: have it rounded of about the same as it would be when one-third worn out, in order to prevent tripping; allow one weeks rest; have the legs showercd for a few minutes at time with cold water through hose. in order to create a spray; then rub dry, briskly. from the chest down to tho foot. Give walking exercise daily during this week for about an hour twice a day. When you commence driving again omit the slow jog, either walk or send him along al sharp trot for mile or two, then walk away. but do not speed for at least sev- oral weeks. By this time the habit of stumbling from either of the above causes will bo pretty well overcome.

Lost His Dinner.

Britishers with titles do not easily 'take things as they come," and our travelling ways are apt to trouble them somewhat. The English lord, however, who lost his dinner in Arkansas seems to have had cause of complaint as we'll as the man he blamed.
 Lord Glendale, who was lately travel ing in Arkansas, when asked how he liked the country, said:
 "Oh, I'm much pleased with the country and very much enjoy travelling in it. but, do you know that your rail- road eating-house system is very annoy ingp Just as a man settles down and persuades himself into a nap, Q negro comes along. shakes him andsays, Sup per at Catiishp'
 You tell him yes, and arouse your self You are, of course, very hungry, and every time the train stops you ex- pect to hear some one shout, Catfish; twenty minutes for supper!' but the train rolls on. After while the negro that has aroused you comes along and you say:
 ".How far is it to Catfishp'
 " sSahp'
 'I1OW ldT IS lt to Sdtusu.
 "' Bout twenty-five miles, sah.
 "'What made you arouse me back yonder2'
 "sWanted to know wudder yer want ed supper, so I could telegraph ahead. Da only cooks what's ordered, sah.'
 Twenty miles to a hungry man is . long distance, and you loll around awhile. and finally drop off to sleep After while you awake and wait for the train to get to the station. The nc- gro comes through again.
 "'How far is it to Catfish?'
 .Sah?'
 "'I asked how far is it to Catfish?'
 "'We'se dun passed dar, sah'
 Why the mischief didn't you wake me?'
 Case y,;r got mad when Iwoke yer afo'. sah. '''
 Doubtless the Englishman thought that it was adding insult to injury to provoke man out of all patience, and then punish him for getting mad. "- Iouth's Companion.
