WATCH.-Last December, a gold
watch was lost h~ereabouts, Which
has not yet been restored to the
owner. Recently, the person who
owns the time-piece has learned
that it was lost ON the street in
White Oaks, and that a certain
party who is now known by him,
picked it up, and. as Il Joke, put it
in his pocket. The owner would
like to have it returned, and thinks
the joke has been carried far and
long enough. If the watch is re.
stor d to him at once, no questions
will be asked, and all will be right.
But II not returned, the law will

The Condition Of the Crops.

Information received from the cotton
belt shows that the crop prospects are
more favorable than at this time last year.
The stands generally are good and the
weather propitious.
In Texas the acreage planted shows an
increase of per cent. over laat year, and,
although in some parts of the State the
stands are poor an! the fields badly "in
the grass" still the prospect, taxing the
State as whole, is as good as, if not bet
ter than last year.
In Arkansas the stands are better than
last year. The crop looks we'll though it
is about ten days late. The fields are
free from grass and the weather has been
good. There has been about 2 per cent.
increase in the acreage. In Mississippi
the prospect is good for the State at large.
In some sections rains have done slight
damage. There has been but small
increase in the acreage. The fields are
free from grass and the plants though
small are strong. In Louisiana there has
been marked increase in the acreage,
and in St. Joseph Parish alone this
increase has reached 50 per cent. The
stands are good, but the growth Of the
plant has been somewhat retarded by the
cool weather which prevailed early in the
season.
In Alabama the crop prospects are
generally favorable. Good stands are
reported, but the plant has been retarded.
Trere has been a slight increase in the
acr cage planted. The condition of labor
is good. In some sections there is too
much grass in the fields and rains have
been prevalent.
In Georgia the crop reports are good,
with an increase in the acreage planted
over last year. The stands are all good
and the plants strong. More fertilizers
have been used than last year. Labor is
plentiful.
In Tennessee the crop is late but the
stands are good. The plant though small
is strong. The acreage has been increas-
ed slightly. In some sections the rains
during the past Ten days have done harm.
In South Carolina the reports from the
interior show that the condition Of the
crop could hardly be better. Thele has
been a slight increase in the acreage
Larger quantities of fertilizers have been
used than ever before. Labor is plenti-
full. Rains have done no damage. The
crop is about ten days late. There have
been no complaints of grass.

of open cotton, which is delivered to the

of open cotton, which is delivered to the
receptacle absolutely free from dirt of
every description.
The capacity of the machine is meas.
ured by the number of acres it can be
drawn over in given time, and the
amount of open cotton it then encoun-
ters. For instance, if there were half q
bale to the acre, and it were drawn over
eight acres day, this would not be an
excessive load for two horses. AS the
machine weighs about 300 pounds, it
would pick out four bales a day, thus
doing the work Of sixty hands. AT this
rate the machine would gather cotton at
a cost of less than one dollar per bale.
The Scientific american of May 8, has a
diagram of Mr.. Charles's machine, and
says it is simple in construction, its parts
few and not liable to arrangement, and it
removes the cotton, whether from high
or low plants, efficiently and rapidly, and
leaves the plants comparatively uninjured.
The machine has not yet been put to q
practical test and hence its merits are
problematical.

Tie New Postal Roguery.

PORTLAND, OREGON, June ga spe.
cial from Lewiston, Idaho, gives more
fully the story Of the defalcation Of Isaac
Hibbs, postmaster at Lewiston. He
was appointed in March, 1884. Last
January the registered mail pouch was
robbed, but an official investigation
developed nothing, and the affair was
eventually forgotten. On May 2 Hibbs
left for an alleged silver mine on the
Upper Columbia. The postal inspector,
alarmed at his continued absence, inves:
tigated the affairs of the Office and found
in Hibbs's writing receipts for large
number of registered mail pouches, des.
tined for the fictitious names in different
postoffices supplied from Lewiston. The
modus operandi was as follows: Lewis
ton is distributing point for large
number of Offices in Northern Idaho and
Eastern Washington Territory. Hibbs
would issue money order in fictitious
name at this Office, drawn in favor of a
bank in Iowa, where the orders were
payable. The customary letter of advice
was forwarded to the paying postmaster.
Hibbs then wrote to the bank that he
would shortly visit town, enclosed the
money orders and requested the bank to
cash them and place the amounts on
deposit to his credit until he arrived.
Later he wrote to the bank that he could
not make the contemplated visit, and
requested that draft for the amount of
money on deposit be returned by regis.
tered mail to the fictitious names at.
tached to the money orders, and always
at some Office where the mail passed
through Lewiston. When the drafts
arrived Hibbs signed the fictitious names
and returned the receipt cards, and the
transaction was completed. Money
orders are limited to 5000 in favor of one
person, but with forethought and judi.
cious distribution of dates and places m
opening offers through which unscrupu
lous postmasters could bankrupt the
United States. The amount of defalca.
ton exceeds 10000, and is expected to
reach $4,000. The postal inspector
says that these robberies will necessitate
the authorities recognizing the money
order system of the United States AID
elsewhere. The scheme is surprisingly
simple and the officers are surprised that
it was never thought of and worked
before.
John Evans, cashier of the First Ma.
tional Bank, Wm. Kiltonback, cashier
of the Lewiston National Bank, and
Alexander, Thiesser and Woodworth,
were Hibbs's bondsmen for $4,000.
Alexander and Thiesser were secured
before Hibbs left. Hibbs was last seen
on May 80, at the second crossing of the
Canadian Pacific Road on his way to
Missoula and Helena for the purpose of
cashing drafts ordered to be sent to those
places.

New Cotton Pickiag Machine.

To relieve the slow, tedious and
expensive operation of picking cotton by
hand Mr.. R. K. Charles, of Darlington,
S. c., has invented a cotton harvester,
mounted upon wheels which stride the
cotton row, and which, is designed to
gather the cotton from the growing plants
with the least possible damage to
them, and to automatically deliver
the cotton into receptacle carried on
the machine. The machine is double,
there being right and left portion; and
as it passes over the rows it is intended
that the pickers come in contact with
every one.half inch of the entire plants,
from top to bottom, and gather every boil

Among the candidates for the Office o.

one better qualified to discharge accepta.

Capt. Martin is son of General Martin,

helped his father in the discharge of the
duties Of the Office, or in his absence
took his place. He is graduate of the

Martin was q valiant soldier during the

It is amusing to SEQ how tender-footed
certain blood remedy proprietors havo
become of late. They make much ado
about "apes and imitators" when none

The proprietors Of B. B. B. would say
most emphatically that their remedy
stands upon its own merit. Should
we attempt to initiate, it would
not be those who do not understand the
modus operandi OF that which they offer
Our own long experience in the profess
sion precludes such an idea. The field
for blood remedies is large and broad
affording ample room for all present aspi-
rants. We do not desire to close the door
against others, neither shall it be closed
against US. B. 3. B. is the quickest
remedy, does not contain mineral or
vegetable poison, does not initiate, and is
in the field as an honorable competitor
for public favor, and its success is with
out parallel.
