is very satisfactory To large major
ity of the people. Mr. Owen las been
the LEADERS choice from the

man IN the county for the position.
Mr.. Sheets is one of the first farmers

orally known throughout the county. is
"A popular man in his own community,

said she expected her teeth would hurt

kill her to have tooth pulled, for she
couldn't stand anything. She knew
she should faint o. scream or do some

said she'd better sit down and let him

The Poisonous Cigarette.

One familiar with the round face,
rudy, and withal beautiful counte-
nance, goodiy to look TO, of the boys in
the country. is struck with the contrast
of so many pale-faced, hollow
eyed. sapless- looking boys seen
upon the avenues and streets of the
city, and led at once to inquire, how
comes this contrast? The Commercial
Advertiser answers in part this inquiry.
A healthy, rObust-looking boy, of the
old-fashioned type, especially among
what may be called the Bohemian
classes, il says. is 1.-The exception. y"
Not little of this loss of roundness and
freshness, and deterioration so sad in
in the case of the boys, the AdcertiSer,
rightly we doubt not. sets down to the
smoking of cigarettes. Medical and
scientific investigation have alike de-
monstrated that these adulterated abom-
nations, for which the boys show such
a passion, are in furious and destruct-
i've, and particularly so to the young.
So clear is this to practical Inen that the
Assembly has passed bill prohibiting
the sale or giving away Of cigarettes to
minors under fourteen years of age.
This bill, we regret to say, has not re-
ceived the signature of the Governor.
and has so failed to become lawn.

4 drive OF stroll through the sub
urbs will show how generally the ham,
mock has come into use as an adjunct
a dooryard or a piazza of any preten-
sions without one or more of these
swinging couches. Rightly placed and
hung the hammock affords the very
luxury of repose. and our people have
done well to borrow it from their sum-
mer nei.rhbors, whose climate and tenn
peraLien! are SD conducive to the culti-
va:.0n of genius for repoSe."
But rightly hung does not mean sus-
pended in a crampei situation with
both ends equally elevated. This is the
way TO put up swing, but not ham,
mock. unless it be intended simply to
sit in. For reclining purposes the head
should be higher than the feet. A good
rule is to fasten the hook for the head
of the hammock six feet, three inches
from the ground or floor. and the lower
end three feet, three inches. The dis
tsuce between the two should be
eighteen or twenty feet, though fifteen
feet will answer. The longer rope
should be at the bottom end, as this
makes swinging much easier and more
agreeable.
For outdoor use, when two trees are
Rot available, the hook for the head
Aay be listened upon the tree or the
nope tied to it, and post set in the
ground at the required distance for the
lower end. In this manner, shade can
be secured though the lounger be the
possessor of but q single tree. The
fastenings ana the. rope should be
strn and secure beyond peradvent-
ure; and if the hammock is to be used
by young children it should be hung
very near to the ground, that the iney-
liable tumbles and spillings may be as
harmless as possible. The closely
woven hammocks are best, as they do
not catch the buttons nor wear out so
quickly.
For an ENJOYABLE and healthful sizes
ia, or for summer reading and day
dreaming, this ''couch in the air. is
preferable to all others. For the pur-
poses of Irritation or courtship--if the
latter old-fashioned word be applicable
to the modern fashion of wooing-we
have not observed that any hints or di-
rections are necessary. The hammock
lands itself TO the graceS and natural
wiles of woman, and adapts itself To a
young mans faHeies with facility that
suggests its origin in the land of Ian
guors and of love. It's utilitaran ends
are many, but il is nevertheless essen
tally q thing of beauty and luxury
