More Than q Million.

NFw ORLEANS, La.-A reporter of the
Times Democrat, who recently complet.
ed tour Of this and neighboring States,
visiting every city, town and hamlet,
states that he interviewed all the
wholesale and retail druggists and store
keepers, as we'll as transportation COM
panies, with the view of learning the
volume of trade in certain articles.
The statistics thus gathered show that
during the past two years over one
million two hundred thousand bottles
Of St. Jacobs Oil were sold in this sec.
ton alone, and that this quantity largely
exceeds the total combined sales Of all
other similar remedies during that
period. He adds that dealers, as we'll as
the public, continue unanimous in their
praise Of the wonderful pain-curing
powers Of this unapproached remedial
agent

THE SOUTH END.
What Our Agricultural Friends
Are Dolng-Notes.

Special Correspondents Of the IxrER-OcEAxl
ODESSA, July 1s.-A few days ago, Mr..
Editor, l think you made the remark
that call the farmer has to do now is to
sit around and see his wheat grow" We
were very much offended at that and
would have got mad, but could not pos
sibly spare the time. The wheat is
growing all right enough, never saw finer
outlook in our life. We should think
25 to 35 bushels per acre Is about the
way is looks around here. But If YOU
think there is much time to sit around
on the farm, Mr.. Editor, you ought to
try it awhile. You might begin on our
potatoe patch; it is our impression that
after you had sat around" over a hoe
handle for about ten hours you will sigh
for the confinement of an "editor's den:''
Everything in the shape OF crops is boom.
ing and barley harvest is almost here.
Strawberry shortcake, three inches tall
and very big around, has been the usual
bill of fare at tea for the last ten days.
Jerusalem is becoming popular as
resort for pleasure seekers. Last week
party of forty people camped IN the
grove at that place, and nearly every
day small parties go there for the pur-
pose of fishing.
At our school election in June, Mr..
Whitehill Moore was elected school
clerk.
The Sabbath school at school house
No. is in a hourishing condition, the
exel cises being interesting and the seats
nearly all full every Sunday. The hour
of opening Sunday school is IL O'Clock
a. III. The people would be glad to have
preaching here if we could get a minis
ter.
The storm that passed over your city
last Saturday was only a very heavy rain
with but little wind at this place.
Many of the farmers are still breaking.
The season has been very favorable and
many acres of land have been broken
which will add to the wealth of not only
the farmer, but the country at large.
We are all glad the Daily still lives,
don't let it go under" We can't afford
to let it go. r

VERY FORTUNATE.-For some time
the people about Frankenberrytown,
adjoining Strinesville, suffered very
much for want of water. Stock had
to be driven to the Opequon, and
water hauled for household USE
Drinking water was scarce and those
who had it were saying or charged for
its use. Mr.. VIM. Frankenberry sup
piled his neighbors as long as his wells
held cut, and then tried to make ar
engagements with the corporation but
met with little encouragement. He
has a spring near by which went dry
in summer. Thinking there must be
water there, he had hole drilled II
feet through the rock, struck water,
and so far has plenty. It is a God
send to the people Whereabouts.
