two dozen bullocks and sixty sheep
would be q fair average for the whole
voyage and the rest may be inferred in
proportion. During the Summer months,
when travelling is. heavy, twenty-five

- Our farmers do not eat enough.
They rely too much upon the fryingpan.
AS soon as possible they should revolu.
,tionize their cookery and diet. 1t is re-
ported that the horrible disease, lapella-
.rra. that for the last century has deci-
mated the field laborers of Lombardy at
the rate of eighty ont Of thousand has
now begun to rayage Southern France.
Lapellagra il a disease peculiar to per-
sons overworked, insuiciently nourished,
and fed upon unwholesome. food. For
centuries this disease has spread among
the farmers of Europe. twill some day
strike the same class in this country.
Farmers should be the best fed class of
our people. In addition to vegetables
and cereals they require plenty of the
best beef and mutton.
- Some one has said that "when we
come to die we will find that all we have
is what We have given away" This
strange declaration seems to be warrant
ed by what our Saviour said to certain
Young man: "If thou wilt be perfect,
90, sell what thou hast, and give to the
poor, and thou shalt have treasure IN
heaven" The declaration filled the
Young mans mind with grief and he
went away, "for he was one that had
great possessions" God had bestowed
upon him the means of doing great
deal of good, but he was unwilling to
use the possessions which God had given
him for the purpose for which they we're
given.

and worthy young farmer of Barnwell
County, was accidentally killed while
Ileaving. Blackville, on the evening of
| August IA, with cotton gin which he
had had repaired, and was taking home
lin his wagon. It seems that it was quite
dark, and that Mr.. all, in driving. along
the road, accidentally ran the fore-wheel
of his wagon into gully. This caused
the vehicle to careen, when ne fell out
and the gin was thrown with its whole
weight upon Ills breast, death ensuing
almost instantly.
.4i- Mr.. Geo. A. Counts, who resides
near st. Paul's Church, has 3 acres OF
land lying between two little branches
that he has owned and planted in corn
every year for 45 years, and he says ne
knew it to be planted in corn for mum.
Der of years before he owned it. From
| these three acres he has gathered on an
average 100 bushels of corn each year.
Think of it, friends, $500 bushels Of
corn in As years off of three acres Of
land. Who can beat this ?-Prosperity

It says: "If you want to raise long
melons, save only tho seed from the mid.
die third of the melon; for round, save
from the bloom end; for melons with
necks, save the seeds from the stem end
We have seen this tried often and have
never known it to fail"

arrest since prohibition went into effect
in Clarke County, and Sheriff Wier says
it is breaking up his business and will
ruin the courts. No new cases are DOCK

afford to dispense With half of our courts
If any man don't think prohibition pro
hibits, lust let him visit Athens. Ban

- The cotton crop this year will be
enormous. Texas is counting on 2.OO0,,
600 bales, and, with continued good
seasons and freedom from the cotton
worm, will probably produce 2,500, ,ooso, JOY,
The prospects look to yield Of S,0OO,0 0O(
bales in the cotton growing States
This would be an enormous yleld-a6oul
one million more than in 1882, the great
cotton year. With such a yield the price
will no doubt be low.
