Creameries are now attracting
much attention in tho South, and
we are led to say that our towns
man, Capt. L. NJ. Tucker, intends
to soon have q creamery in opera
tion. Our farmers, in view OF this
fact, should begin to pay great st
tention to their live stock, and es.
pecially to the raising of thorough.
bred cattle. The development
of the creamery business will
stimulate the live stock industry
and we may count that Mississippi
at least, has entered upon wise
course in the Improvement OF the
farming interests through greater
attention to live stock. These
creameries are on a paying basis,
proving that they are q source OF
revenue to the owners aud the
farmers who supply the milk

Mrs. Penn had gone ost OF the
house into the yard to draw water
at the cistern, leaving her little
boy Morrison Penn, aged FIVE
years, the sole occupant OF the
room. She left him standing on
the hearth by a blazing fire warm
ing himself, and while there, it ls
supposed, bis clothing must have
ignited. His piercing screams
brought the mother quickly
back to the house, where abe
found the little fellow enveloped
in flames from head to foot. The
true.hearted woman wrought to
desperation by the condition OF
her boy, tore the clothing from
his limbs, burning her fingers bad
", but resouing him from his dead
ly peril. The little unfortunate is
burned badly in several parts Of
tho face, right cheek, lips and
nose, and very severely in the
right groin. n.LNatchez Banner.
