DIED.
GR0SS.-Near Forest Hill, July 2Sth, 1886,
RETTIE VIRGINIA, aged thirteen months and
twelve days, only child Of Charles and Lizzie
Gross.
1t was hard to part with you, Kettle,
We miss your gentle kiss;
This world seems empty without you,
With you 1t was full of bliss.
Your parents hearts ache for you;
You who was so gentle, loving and sweet;
But we hope by Gods grace to meet you
Where you now walk the golden street.
Weep not for little Rette,
Her gentle spirits fled,
She sweety sleeps with Jesus
Among the silent dead.
Shed not one tear of sorrow
Around her lonely tomb;
Think what lovely, lovely flower,
In heaven we have to bloom.
HER MOTHER.

The Baltimore Journal Of Commerce,
which was conducted by the late George U.
Porter for 81 years, has been merged with
the Manufacturers Record. The Record dur
ing the four years of its existence, has aided
materially in encouraging and developing
manufactures in the South, and its efforts, we
are pleased to note, have been fully appre-
ciated. In its enlarged sphere it will be still
more useful and we trust even more prosper

TO THE FARMERS OF HARTFORD
COUNTY.

Wehave placed our several brands of Diamond
State goods in the hands of our agents in Har-
ford county, for sale at prices as low as the
ten dollars cheaper per ton according to analy-
sis, then they were five or six years ago.
We are determined not to allow competition or
the clamor for lower prices TO reduce the quail
ty of our goods, but will deliver in good cond-
ton our several brands as cheap as their quality
will permit, being satisfied that the result of a
trial for wheat and grass will in the future as
the past be perfectly satisfactory. Whilst some
of our purchasers in Hartford county have been
unable to meet their obligations, there is no one
who has refused to do so, or who has objected to
the quality of the goods, and refer you to
any one who has ever used these goods, and are
willing to abide their verdict.

Both Houses of Congress finally adjourned
on the 9th instant, and the members hasten
ed to their homes or went off in search of
pleasure elsewhere. As matter of course
there has been the usual amount of carping
criticism of what has been done and left un-
done by Congress; but taken altogether, the
past session has been somewhat free from the
charge of harmful legislation, which is saying
good deal for any body of legislators in
these degenerate days. 1t is TO be regretted
that the Morrison tariff bill was defeated,
by aid of Democratic votes, and the pledges
of tariff reform in the platform upon which
Cleveland was elected were not fulfilled The
Republicans can not rail at the Democrats
for this neglect, however, for their own plat
form contained similar plank, and no effort
whatever was made by any Republican men,
Der of Congress to bring about tariff reform.
The Democrats made the effort honestly and
if MIR. Morrison had been seconded as he
should have been, some of the burdens that
weigh down the bone and sinew of the coun-
try, particularly the farmers, would have been
lightened
The expenses of running the government
have been materially lessened, solely by the
Democratic House, the Republican Senate
having thrown aside apparently, its conser-
vative character and passed extravagant and
dangerous measures, which were defeated in
the House.
The regular appropriation bills for 1887,
for the current expenses OF the government,
are $S,554,61 less than those for 1886. This
is exclusive of the appropriation of $14473,-
900 for rivers and harbors for which nothing
was appropriated last year. Then, So, 100000
was appropriated for an increase of the navy
$5,769,0 for Alabama awards $16,0OO,OO0
for increased pensions; and 100000 for
deficiencies in last years appropriations.
The appropriation for the Alabama awards,
it should be remembered, comes out of the
fund paid to the United States by England.
With all these unusual but unavoidable ap-
preparations, the sum total is only about
$5,5O0OOO more than that last year. These
facts show plainly to the world the economy
and business.lke character of the Democrat
.ic administration. The total appropriations
would have been less, if it had not been for
the reckless extravaganza ofthe Senate, which
insisted upon increasing some of the amounts
after they had been agreed upon by con-
ference committee. There was a careful
scrutiny of all bills and fewer jobs than usual
it is believed, got through

of which is Iron is well known. Heretofore it

These Paints are indestructible, and are adapted
for inside as well as outside work. They will
work as smoothly as any paint that can be made
and are furnished ready mixed, in condition for
immediate use, at Sl.25 per gallon. Their low
price, lasting qualities and beautiful colors and
tints should commend them to all who use paints
for general purposes.

Children at Ia BILE.

From the time the child is old enough
30 sit at the table, teach him the proper
use of knife, fork AID spoon. Never
allow a child to learn upon the table
habits such as that will accompany him
all through life. He should be taught to
wait patiently until his elders are served.
1t is very important to carefully observe
these minor points. By proper training
in the beginning the parents are saved an
noyance and modification in the future.
At this age children should be dieted as
carefully as when they were infants. By
this it is not meant that their diet should
consist solely of milk; by no means, but
do not fall into the error so widely pre-
yalent, that children having obtained
their teeth are capable of digestlng all
manner of food. This is the chief cause
Of destruction of life in children between
3 and 6 years of age. Their stomachs
being totally untitled for the rich food
they are allowed to eat Potatoes, meat,
rice, oatmeal, brown bread ripe fruit
and as much milk as they can drink, is
the proper diet for children of that age.
