THE NEW EDITION OF
WORC STEERS DICTIONARY
Contains thousands of Words not to be
found in any other Dictionary.

"Worcester's is, in the estimation of all
scholars, the best dictionary extant for gen.
eral use. There is certainly no comparison
possible between it and its most popular
rival. The Office of dictionary is, of course,
not to make innovations, but simply to reg
lister the best usage in spelling and pronun-
citation. This Worcester does, and this its
rival conspicuously fails to do.-New York
World.
"Years ago Worcesters Dictionary was
recognized, in England as well as in the
United States, as the best in existence by
the very best writer's and students. 1t has a
still higher claim to this distinction in this
new edition, which makes other dictionaries
superhuous, and serves also as a cyclopedia;
a textbook on the language; vocabulary
of Greek, Latin, Scriptural, and modern
proper names; collection of proverbs,
phrases and quotations of all languages, and
a complete collection of English synOuymes;

CLOVER SEED.

We notice Ohio, one of the leading
States for the production of cloyer seed
in the Union, estimates her crop of
clover seed at less than half of an av-
erage crop, caused by the drouth. If
other clovers States should be short,
the probability is, clover seed will be
high next spring. Would it not be
we'll for the farmers of Tennessee to
save every bushel they possibly can !?
They will be wanted at home and per-
haps at paying prices. Save all you
can. Messrs. Sullivan, Bros. q Co.,
have splendid Victor Huller and will
be pleased to hull it for you.

The Acme Harrow.

1t gives us pleasure to call attention
of farmers to this valuable implement.
1t is the best harrow we have ever
seen to pulverize and thoroughly pre-
pare land for wheat or other crops
which require the soil well mixed and
thoroughly pulverized. Every farmer
should have one. 1t will almost pay
its cost in one season. They are very
durable, being made almost entirely Of
iron and spring steel. Price $25. One
of them is on exhibition at Mead q
Ritchey's produce store. Drop in and
see it when you come to town.

Domestic Help.

The Sparta Expositor thus touches
upon question which has been agita-
ting the households of this community
for quite a while:
"The question of domestic help is a
serious one to the citizens of Sparta,
just as we suppose it is to almost every
town. The negro women, the almost
sole dependence for this class of work,
are unreliable and of very little help,
though there are a few exceptions to
this rule. Some families almost feel
like they will be compelled to break
up housekeeping and go to boarding,
so uncertain and unsatisfactory is the
kitchen help. And half the time when
help is obtained, for want of pride in
their work and proper knowledge of
how it ought to be done, the victuals
are prepared in such a shape as to
hardly be palatable, and certainly not
healthy. Under the present democrat
lied condition of the culinary depart.
ment of our households we are fast be-
coming nation of dyspeptics. A ma.
jority of the good wives are good cooks,
