More Fine Cattle.

Mr.. E. A. Collins has recently
bought very fine Jersey COW, "But-
tercup," from Maury county, Tenn,
that will drop a calf last of this
month. Also bought about 1st inst.
an imported Holstein heifer, "Ade>
lina," two years old, in calf to "De-
brave Hendricks, 199 Nal. Holland
Herd Book, and on the 9th inst. she
dropped very fine male calf, and is

the calf just dropped, is still in Hol-

ness men last Wednesday, becoming
better acquainted with them and en-
quiring if there were any complaints
against the comp any in any shape.
They found our merchants and other
shippers well pleased, with no fault to
find /; and we learn this has been the
case all along the line between here
and Memphis. The shippers and the
railroad authorities, as we have had
occasion to remark heretofore, are on
good terms with each other, and the
noisiest enemies of the roads are men
who travel least and ship almost moth
ing. 1t seems to Us that, if the par
ties most interested, on 10Th sides, are
satisfied with the situation, others
ought not to raise disturbance.
Now that the commission law has
been repealed, let US have rest on
the subject. Let eveay man put in

dustrious, prosperous enterprise that

A Funny Mistake.

Some days since, when the large
wagons we're coming down William
son street with seeming cages of mon.
keys, KangarOOs, etc., the small chill
dren screamed for joy and the young
ladies cried, full of anticipation about
the "circus;" coming SO Unexpectedly
to town. Behold it was the local
train hauling in Tom Harrison,
pretty new spring goods. Every
bedy is now funny and happy because
the show is right at home, and all
know they can enter there with free
ticket worth a pound of gold. Clear
the track and let the ladies and chill,
dren pass. The men can always get
in. Walk in, Ladies.

The Reality of War.

Here is q horrible battle-picture from
Suakim. 1t is taken from letter from
an officer of the Scots guards. The
time of the picture is the day or two
following the fight at McNeill's zareba:
"When going from Suakim, the last
three miles of the march were marked
at every step by graves, Arab and In
dian, so shallow that from all oozed
dark and hideous stains, and from
many protruded nangled feet, half
stripped grinning skulls, or CHASTITY
hands, still clinched in the death
agony, though reduced to little more
than bone and sinew. The ground was
also thickly strewn with hands and
feet dragged from their graves by the
hyenas, and the awful stencil and reek
of carrion which loaded the air will
never be forgotten, as | think, by any
of us. Day after day we passed and
repassed over the same siekening scene
with our conveys, in binding dust and
under a scorching sun, obliged to move
at foot's pace to keep up with the
weary camels aud to pick our steps
carefully for fear of suddenly setting
foot on one of those dreadful heaps oil
corruption.
Fill in with innumerable kites and
vultures hopping lazily about gorged
with human flesh, and the picture IS
complete. Pail Mall Gdzette.

BINDERS.

We invite the attention of
Farmers to the DEERING
Harvesting Machine for 1885.
Those intending to buy q
Binder should not do 50 with
out seeing these. Mr.. Deering
was the first manufacturer to
build a successful Irvine Bind
er. He was the first to build
and put in the field what is
called the LIGHT Binders,
having built and sold in 1884,
5000 Of them. Others are
following now but they are
not tried. If you are wise and
wish to be on the safe side,
AVOID EXPERIMENTS,
buy the Machine that went
through the last harvest with
out a failure. We sold 10
Light Binders here last sea-
son. We also have the old
stand by STANDARD Deering
Binder" Six parts of Deer
ing's improved modifying de-
vice take the place of thirty
parts used in all Appleby pat
tern of Binders. Bear this in
mind when you think of the
durability and expense of
keeping your machine in run
ming order. There is another
point that is overlooked by
most farmers buying ma
chimes: "Where and when
they can get their Extras. "
This is very important to con-
slider, especially when you
break down in the midst of
harvest. We carry over
$4,000 worth of EXTRAS for
machines we represent, and
our machines are made near
home: q hours delay will get
extras should we be out OF
them.
The country is full Of ma
chimes offered at reduced
prices, made away down East
that belong to this class that
have no Extras in their town
or even in the state.
These fellows have to sell
at cut prices. or not at all.
