GIBSON GLEANINGS.

Though not personally acquaint
with you, that makes no difference,
1 take your paper and like it very
much and would like to see our town
represented every week if it could be
40. / love to live in community
that makes itself heard from. 1t
looks more enterprising, does it not?
But it seems our friends here in town,
though full of energy and "get up"
take no interest in newspaper corr
respondence. But Gibson must be
heard from. Though not city yet,
and hemmed off,you say,by the city of
Milan on one side and the city of
Humboldt on the other, 5 or 6 miles
from each. She has all the facilities
she needs in the way of mails, mer-
chandise, mills, rail roads and express,
shops of various kinds, chair factory,
etc, etc. Our farmers consider ours
the garden spot of Gibson county for
all kinds of produce that any soil will
grow in this country. l see you ad-
vertise considerable lands for sale
around Milan and other places. We
have no land for sale about Gibson.
They are we'll improved and glisten
now with beautiful wheat and clover,
and are we'll set with luscious fruit
trees, berries. etc., of the best varies
ties. Our farms are small, averaging
not more than fifty acres to a farm,
and almost universally belong to the
present ineumbents. Now / expect
you will say 1 am getting a little col
icy on this article, but, think you
know l am correct; if not, come down
and make enquiry and you can get
the proofs. Health of the comnuni.
ty is pretty good at this writing.
Farmers are nearly all done planting
corn and have very good stands, but
are a little backwards in cotton on ac-
count of cold weather and rain; but
they don't seem to care; think they
want to quit it any how. Berry crop,
of couse, is a little late, but the fruit
prospect is generally good. Mr.. Ed. 4,
you may stick this in your next if
you have room; if not, dump it in the
waste basket. PLoUGHMAH.

TO FRUIT SHIPPERS.

The undersigned, known as the
Central Committee of West Teunes.
see, located at Milan, in compliance
with instructions as to the duties of
said committee, desire to promulgate
some ideas to be observed which we
think worthy the consideration of the
fruit growers of West Tennessee.
1st. Notwithstanding all commits
sion merchants advise their patrons
to exclude all soft and over ripe fruit
from their packages, and while we
regard this caution as necessary, yet
we would CONSUL shippers to use the
same precaution in picking berries
too green. In our judgment, which
is based upon the actual experience
extending through term of years,
we assert that loss is entailed upon
shippers who pick and ship green ber-
ries, whether for short or long dis
lance markets. We therefore sug'
gest that the berries be allowed to
turn red all over before picking them
from the vines. If the berry is red
when gathered the process of growth
and ripening will continue until its
natural condition is reached. but if
| picked green this process is naturally
disturbed.
I'd. The same experience claimed
above justifes US in recommending
that the quart boxes, and also the
cnses containing the quarts, should be
clean and as neatly and securely
made as the material will admit of
and by all means fill the quart boxes
full, heaping over. We will not rec
ommend as being superior any of the
different styles of boxes, Presumiue
that all growers of berries have theil
preferences. 1t is understood tina
these suggestions apply to strawber
ries, raspbelriss and blackberrie
alike and all fruits as well. t
Sd. We earnestly urge the mos
careful handling of fruit packages
The hauling to the depot should b
done on spring wagon, with liber
al supply of straw in the bottom o
the wagon bed, being careful to kee
top up; in short avoid all rough hand
ling. If shippers Of fruit will carr.
out these suggestions they will b
rewarded with larger profits on thei
shipments.

Beer Drinking and Heart Disease

The habitual consumption of beer IN
excessive quantities tends to hyper
trophy by the direct action of alcohol
udon the heart, by the enormous amount
of fluid introduced into the body, and
by the easily assimilated nutritive con-
stituents of the beer itself. Further
more such habits are often associated
with great bodily activity and at least
relatively luxurious manner of life.
The average weight of the normal heart
in men is relatively greater in Munich
than elsewhere, a fact, without doubt,
dependent upon the excessive con-
sumption of beer in that city. The
characteristic changes in the form of
hypertrophy under consideration con
sist in the participation of both sides of
the heart and in an enormous increase in
the volume of the primitive muscular
elements, with an enlargement of the
nuclei Whether or not actual numeri-
cal increase in the Muscular fibres takes
place is not known. Many individuals
addicted to such excuses attain an adj
vanced age, Notwithstanding cardiac
hypertrophy, by reason of constitutional
peculiaritics, IN active open-air life, or
an enforced moderation, but the greater
number perish after brief illness with
symptoms of cardiac failure. AT the
post norton examination are discovered
moderate dropsy, pulmonary mdema,
brown induration of the lungs, bron-
chitis, congestion of the lungs, liver,
spleen, kidneys and other organs. Fat
ty degeneration of the muscular wall of
the heart is absent in most of these
cases, and death must in the absence Of
adequate anatomical LESSONS be looked
upon as due to paralysis of the cardiac
nerves and ganglia. The condition of
such subjects not rarely amounts to a
true plethora of the most typical kind,
such as is seen among the drivers of beer
wagons and workers in breweries in
this country. The excuses in beer
common in some parts of Germany are
rare in the New World, but that such ex-
cesses are attended by a direct and
grave danger, hitherto little suspected.
should begenerally understood. --Phila-
delphia Medical News.

The British house of lords has OBJ
structed the franchise bill by dilatory
motions, and has thereby fastened the
radical reforms in the makeup and the
office of that body which are now inev-
table. Even the conservative Times
loses its equanimity, and tells the lords
that they ''have placed themselves in
antagonism with the popular assembly
in most defiant and aggressive man
ner." Their action is resented by the
liberals and by the masses of the peo-
pie, and will lead to an angry agitation
of the whole subject of the use and
place of a non-elected chamber as part
of the machinery of government
in free country. The grand
procession of seven hundred thous-
and people in London is the first
but by no means the last exhibition
of popular sentiment against hereditary
power and privileges. The people are
tired of hereditary rulers, and the time
is not so far distant as many of that
class suppose, when thrones will be
toppled over and governments estab-
lished "of the people," by the
people, and for the people," so
happily expressed by Abraham Lin
coin at Gettysburg. The consumma-
ton may be delayed by concessions
cheerfully made by wise and humane
rulers, but in the end all may be called
to the same fate.

As a rule, a censusess under the direc-
ton of the various state governments
will not be taken until next year In
Michigan, however, the authorities are
now receiving returns from the cities
and towns, and the results of the de-
cennial census for 1884, so far as known,
show a noteworthy tendency of the
population towards the cities and larger
towns. In the period of 1S70-S0, while
the population of the whole state in
creased 80 per cent, the ten principal
cities made a gain of nearly go per cent.
In the years since 1880, this movement
cityward has also been marked. De-
troit and all the chief places have grown
steadily. Detroit reports 134, S34 in
habitants, gam Of 16 per cent in four
years. Michigan is farming state, yet
the centres OF business. and not the ru-
raj districts, show the larger increase.
It is probable that the censusses of
many states to be taken in 1885 will
show the same tendency. and also the
national census Of 1890. unless there
should be period of business stagna-
ton. which is apt to send great many
people to the country to earn living
where living is cheaper than In the
cities.
