The Democratic Executive Committee

The Telegraph looks for nearly an equal

simple reason that Gordon's strength is

out weeks since.

Georgia Farms.

Cotton is now growing timely In every
section Of Houston county.
The prospect for a good corn crop is
Frightening in Houston county.
Capt. j. b. Scott, Of Hudson, sent to
Americus Thursday the first cotton bloom
of the season. Cotton is somewhat later
this season than it was last.
The crops are IN a wOtul condition in
Hart county, and the farmers are very
much discouraged. John b. Maxwell,
one of the oldest and best farmers in the
county, says he never saw poorer pros
poets for the time Of year.
In 1870 it is said that only two bales OF
cotton were marketed in Gainesville. The
season following there were eight. The
county now produces from $500 to 1000
bales, and seven or eight thousand are
sold at Gainesville annually.
A farmer near Jefferson sent his hired
hand out TO the field one morning not
long since, with instructions to pillow a
certain piece of corn. On going out to
the field during the day he found his hand
was blowing his corn, which was planted
in the drill. across the rows.
MarshallViHe Times: The fruit season
is now fast opening and tits lively times
around the express office on the arrival Of
the northern bound train. There has been
shipped already from here over 100 crates
of beaches and 81 crates Of raspberries 10
foreign markets. This fruit went from
the Rumph orchards.
Albany News: The fact that eggs are
constantly being shipped TO Albany from
distant markets does not speak well for
our farmers. A well regulated farmer
should, besides supplying home consump-
ton. sell at least 200 dozen eggs year
with the usual stock OF chickens. A little
attention TO fowls will be rewarded, and
the expense is nothing, as they mostly
consume what would be otherwise lost.
There will be a large crop Of peas
gathered in Houston next fail, barring
providential hndrances. The area planted
In ground peas Is also extensive, and

THE SUMMER PEST.
How a Good HOusekeeper Should
Get Rid of Flies.

From Leisure Hour.
If for As hours you can keep every drop
OF liquid from a room the flies in it will
leave it. But the prohibition is absolute.
A drop of dew on rose leaf, still more
the CONCEALED breath on a window-pane,
gives quite as much fluid as the thirsty
IIttleiy will ask for. But good house.
keeper will remember thisrule so as never
to leave pitcher OF water uncovered in
a room which she wlohes to enjoy a nap
In, or in which she means to place guest.
And she Will carefully cover any other
cup, mug, glass or other vessel which con-
tains liquids.
Observe, next, that the fly is tropical
insect. dislikes cold and cannot bear it
long. For the same reason, probably, he
is disconnected, even on a warm day, by a
draught of air. DIR. Franklin, you will
remember, proved that a man might be
killed, as if frozen 10 death, by a swift
draught of air, even at the temperature
l of 100 deg. Fahrenheit. For practical
purposes the fly knows this aswell as Or.
Franklin did. So soon as your patient
leaves a room, open the windows enough
to start all the draughts possible. Have
paper weights in abundance to keep
books, handkerchiefs or ali other NOV
dbibb III pIdSC3 buab ~ Olo may nave du
excuse for closing the windows.
The old New England hOusekeeper sup
poses that flies dislike darkness, and the
old treatment OF summer rooms is to keep
them dark when they are not occupied by
men, women or children. But / think
this IS an erPar. The fly, in darkness,
simply recedes into his dens and caves
and holes of the earth. So soon as the
light comes he is out again, seeking his
prey. 1t may be observed, also,
that the apparent reason why he
annoys your patient as be does, in
the early morning when no one else Is
awake or wants to be. is simply that he
has been chilled and now seeks the
warmth OF the pillow or the cheek. He
is not at that moment seeking food. II
you have been careless enough TO permit
any flies to sleep in the room with your
patient, you can draw them to another
corner by lighting one or two kerosene
lamps, with such an arrangement, for in
stance, as every oil stove gives.
You should not have had any fly in the
bedroom. Nor would you If the whole
house had been kept in proper condition.

intendent, If intelligent, will certainly

Growing up with the
Country.

We are growing up with the
country. We commenced a few
years ago and we have grown
very rapidly. AT home we are
a cause of marvel and-wonder so
rapid has been our growth. We
are going to the remotest parts
of the country to grow up with
them as they settle and grow up.
At the same time we are going
to remain where we have been
for a long time and continue to
grow as the country grows. We
are not omnipresent. MOI bat
we propose to penetrate every
settlement where the u. S. mails
go and there can be found a place
i'll which goods are sold. We
can now be found in every city,
large town, considerable village
or small hamlet where the wants
of the community are supplied.

Official Paper Of Griggs County
The Indian Princes,

The British government has received
some singular intelligence from India,
\ recent Bombay telegram announces
that Maraiah Dhuleep Singh theatens
10 recall his allegiance to the Empress
of India (who is Queen Nictoria>. and
to transfer it to some other European
power probably 10 Russia. Dhuleep
Singh is Prince of the !plmiaub, one of
the most important provinces of India.
1he Importance OF tie pcMiaub rests
not only on Its extent and population
but on the fact That ii contains many of
the great wheat fields. the product of
which has recently disturbed the grain
markets of the world.
lhe DIAN provinces over which the
princes like Dhuleep Singh are. to a
certain extent. sovereign are eleven i'm
number. containing in all IA COG. eco
sqHaie niles, $4,000 town or villages.
and total population of 55mo.UC0
They furnish i.6,UOO men to the British
army in India. and have forces of their
OWN numbering 2775.OGo mon.
The native princes are bo,n.I by
| treaty agreements. but hy no other tie
to the British government The revolt
| OF ore of them could of course be check
ed and suGdmed. But if /. powerful
prince like Dhulecp Singh should set
the example. other princes might fol-
low it, In that case Great Britain
would have to reconquer India, o! let
her so.
The prince who has given this inti-
nation that he is likely to retract his
allegiance to Great Britain, is the son of
the famous Rajah (king) Rungeet Singh
the leader of the Sikhs, and ruler over
the Punjaub during the first part of the
present century. On his surrender and
sale OF his kingdom to Great Britain.
his son. Dhuleep Singh. was taken to
England. lie was there educated at
Oxford and in the military and naval
schools. He was exceedingly popular.
and was as accomplished as any member
OF the English royal family or arlstoc-
racy in the sciences and in all that was
to be learned in military and naval sci
ence. With these requirements he re-
turned to India, with 940, ,OJO as a salary
from the treasury of Great Britain. and
controlling the revenues of his native
province over which he is the ruler.
Many other natiyc Indian princes have
become acquainted with the military
and naval systems of Great Britain. 1t
they should all join in the revolt, the
reconquest of the states over which
they rule would be no easy affair
