A plow made entirely of wood is
now a rarity. The Secretary of the
Ohio Historical Society, Mr.. A. A.
Graham, of Columbus, has q habit,
however, of finding rsrities. He has
lately discovered one, ornamented
with polished buck. horn handles,
which will be in the plow exhibit at
Ohio's Centennial Exposition, in 1883.
The Legislature passed law at its
late session, fixing a fine of $25 and
costs, to be collected as taxes against
any farmer or land owner who allows
the weed known as the "white top
daisy" to go to seed upon his premises.
| A good chance is here afforded to ex-
terminate this weed, by all land own
ers acting according to law.

revolver, for the purpose of Oiling and
cleaning it, cartridge exploded, IMAM
Cling the index finger of his left hand
quite seriously. The injury will dis
figure the finger somewhat, but Fred

We haye on our table a copy of
"The New South" a sixteen page
quarto, published at Birmingham,
Ala, and devoted to the interests OF
the South, containing much valuable
information about that sec ton of the
country and showing many advan-
tages offered. In typographical ap.
pearance it cannot be surpassed its
matter is all of the best kind, well
selected, and should be read by every.
one, in order that they may see q
faithful reflection of the Sunny South.
1t contains an excellent portrait OF
Samuel J. Randall, double page view
of that mystic city," and other illus.
, trations.
1t has been suggested that it would
be great convenience if farmers
would place a sign in front of theil
residences. People in town, or q great
many of them, have door plates which
can easily be read from the street, anG
business men have no hesitation il
placing their name prominently ovel
, their doors, why should not the farm
ers let people know where they live a.
: well. A neatly painted sign woult
cost but a small SUM, and would saw,
a great many inquiries if they were il
/ general use.
