No Cholera Where There was Copper

There was curious feature of the
outbreak oil cho.era in 1S49 that has
not been referred to IN recent years. 1t
was observed that no workmen enga-
ged in copper mines or in manufactur-
ing any sort of article out of copper,
or III handling copper or copper ore,
was afflicted with cholera. II. Andrand
demonstrated that there was much less
electricity in the air in those parts OF
Paris, where cholera ragged most fear.
full ly, than in the other PARTS of the
city. The two discoveries were put
together, and it was inferred that the
galvanic action generated by the cop.
per acted as a preventative. 1t may
be that the copper absorbed into the
system by the workmen served as an
antidote. At any rate, the action OF
copper in alleviatlng some kinds o.
tramp is we'll know, and there will be
no harm in wearing strips of clean
copper or eff copper and zinc next tc
the body, as has been recommended by
an English physician.

The Creamery.

Mr.. W. J. Wilkes has disposed of all
other business and is now deYoting his
entire time and attention 10 the
Creamery. All the farmers we have
talked with regarding the creamery
speak of it in the highest terms and we
have one to find who Is dissatisfied.
Though cream Is low this season, they
feel that it is better than making
butter to sell. The creamery now
averages one thousand pounds of ex-
cellent butter daily, and the supply of
cream and the yield OF butter Is al
most double that of last season. Next
week we will give the amount Of
money paid out and scattered over the
country during the month of June and
predict 1t will be a surprise to many

lie Jumped.

Last Saturday evening one of our
young men accompanied his girl to the
depot to see her safely off on the train,
which was to bear her to the paternal
roof. He had not learned that the
train did not stop at POOLS any more
for supper, and so fingered by the side
of the fair one expecting to get off the
train at TIE platform opposite the
hotel. When the platform was reach
ed the train was going at rapid rate
and the speed increasing at every
turn of the drivers. Rather than walk
back from the next stopping point he
concluded to jump and jump he did,
at the imminent risk Of breaking his
neck and spelling bran new pair of
pantaloons. He struck ground on the
siding near the main track, and as a
box car hid him from view we failed
to see whether he 'tumbled.' But as he
did not appear for, what seemed to the
the young lady, an age, she almost
went into Mysteries as visions of a
mangled form appeared before her,
When he appeared in sight, she TAN
halt way across the car and frantically
caught up the handkerchief, which she
had dropped in her excitement and
rushing back to the door, waved 1t
violently, till the receding form looked
the merest speck in the distance. Her
face took on a very detected appear
ance, however, when the conductor IN
nocently told her that the young man
who jumped off the train after leaving
town, had badly tornhls new trousers.

4 FINE harden.

Mr. Goodson, north OF town, is the
only successful vegetable gardener in
this par. OF the country, at least he is
the only one that has made it success.
A few years ago Mr.. Goodson started
on small plat OF rented ground and
now owns his property and has it well
improved. 1t has been mystery
to many that he is able to
to produce so much on so small an
area of land. Tuesday m morning while
walking over his garden we passed a
small strip of land, containing Is rods,
from which he had sold $35 worth Of
peas and growing, as second crop, cab-
bage and sweet potatoes and both well
advanced for the time of year and
giving every evidence of a tine yield.
In one OF his garden we found an acre
devoted to sweet potatoes and they
were the finest we have ever seen, even
In a sweet potato country. He has
studied the soil and the nature of the
vegetables till he knows their every
want and can name the varieties of
each vegetable he grows by the pecu-
liarity of its leaves. 1t is this lntelll-
gent study.that makes his occupation a
profession instead of calling, and ena !.
bles HIM to produce SO much with so lit
tie, and gives one culture that smat-
tertering of French and Greek could
never do. When our farmer boys, now
growing up, look upon farming as
profession instead of a forced occupa-
ton and give the soils, graf ms and
grasses that careful thought, which
they merit and demand, farming will
be delight instead of a burdensome
task and the products of our field will
be increased many told.

An OPEN LETTER
TO THOSE WHO ARE THINKING OF BUY
INC BINDERS, WE HAVE A FEW

4 .
INC BINDERS, WE HAVE A FEW
WORDS TO OFFER.
This is the time when the festive
and glib-tongued machine agent gets
out and scurries ever the land, taking
orders; and the intending purchaser,
il not well posted as to the respective
merits of the various makes of ma
chimes are very liable to be taken in.
We all know that "the early bird
catches the worm," but it is also true
that the early worm gets caught.
Then, wnen an agent comes to you
asking you to buy binder, if you
haye seen and thoroughly examined
the Buckeye Down, go ahead on your
judgment and buy or contract to buy;
but if you have never seen the Down
binder, if you have never talked to
men who have used it, if all you know
OF 1t is what you heard the agents for
other machines say Of it, all we have
to remark is "don't! DoN'r !! DON ~"
As you are going to buy a binder
this year you will kindly allow us to
ask you what is the character of the
machine you want? We take for grant
eq that you want the best and most
perfect machine on the market. But
what in your opinion would constitute
the ''best" machinea
Do you want a machine which IS
lighter in weight than any Elevator
Binder madea Do you want a ma
chine which requires only two horses
to do the work which with an Elevator
binder will require five horses! Do
you want binder which will pass
through any ordinary gate-(a thing
which no Elevator binder will dog Do
you want a machine which will cut
and bind satisfactorily the longest and
shortest graina Do you want binder
which will do successful work in rough
or billy country as we'll as on the prai-
RE? Do you want binder which is
the newest, neatest, nobblest, simplest,
easiest managed. lightest and most
perfect machine on the market9
If you want the machine which en-
eraces all of the above excellences, by
all means get the Buckeye Low Down
Binder. If you don't want such a
machine don't invest in the Low
Down.
During the next 80 days we will
hold great Machinery Exposition at
our warehouse. No charge for adj
mittance. There will be on exhibi-
ton the grandest display of farm ma
chinery ever witnessed by the people
of North Mo. Among the numerous
attractions will be the Buckeye Down
Binder and the Springfield Traction
Engine and Thresher. Any one not
satisfied with the exhibit will be given
handsome chrome. Everybody come.

Have They Found 1t ?

Having seen two or three surveying
parties about the town in the past two
weeks, we supposed preparation was
being made for grading the streets.
Curiosity at last being aroused we
made inquiry and found that they
were searching for Hayward's barn.
This search has been going on for a
number of years and if they have not
yet found it, we would state that it is
IN the southwest part of town and is
said to occupy about eight inches OF
the alley.
