Put Agreements in Writing.

Farmers, as we'll as others, should
put matters Of agreement bsween them
selves in writing; that is, such writ
ing as they themselves may draw up,
and which expresses intelligibly what is
agreed upon. Many lawsuit has grown
out of u want Of some writing to ex-
press tho agreement among parties IL
is insufficient and unsafe to simply talk
matter over and with Eve shan't
have any trouble" and tho words "all
right" leave the matter to the memory
Many words of our language have a
different Significance, according as they
are used, and in six months time par
ties trusting to memory alone will un-
derStand thing differently from what
was originally intended.
II is not necessary to call upon law
yer to write out an agreement, good
common sense is all that is necessary,
and any poiat expressed in plain, simple
words is just US forcble, and will stand
in law as well as though accompanied by
u mass of legal expressions that are bet
ter calculated to confuse than make plain.
Farmers ought, above all, TO avoid law
suits, and very many may be avoided
by the little matter of writing agree
ments. Express what is desired in the
writing and let copies be signed by both
parties Zone for each, and there will be
no occasion for any subsequent misuu-
derstanding. But at the same time
avoid signing any papers Of any kind
prepared by strangers, whereby ono is
liable to be entrappcd in fraud Give
such papers n wide berth.

How Dimples are Made.

This is tho way dimples are manu-
featured in Chicago, il a reporter of the
Herald of that city tells the truth
"My arm being bare and the exact
spot indicated, he the operator) placed
q small glass tube, the orifce of which
was extremely small, upon the spot
This tube had working with it piston,
and was so small that when the handle
was drawn up the air was exhausted
from the tube, and it adhered to the
flesh, raising a slight protuberancc. -
Around this raised portion the operator
daDtily tied bit Of scarlet silk, and
then took away his suction machine.
The little point of skin that was thus
raised he sliced of with wicked-look-
ing knife. bringing the blood tried
not TO scream, but il was so unexpected
that | had to. Then be bound up the
arm, placing the wound over small
silver object like an inverted cone, the
point Of which was rounded and pol
ished. This little point was adjusted
so as to depress the exact centre of the
cut Then he told me to go away and
not touch the spot until the next day
When came at that time he dressed
my arm again, and this operation was
repeated for five days, when the wound
was healed The silver cone was re.
moved, and there, sure enough, beneath
it was the prottiost dimplo in the world
And all had to pay was ten dollars"

COFFEE.

As very few of our friends buy ground
coffee it is hardly necessary to give the
authorizations practiced by cheap dealers
by using chicory, beans, peas, carrots
ETC., all of which may be detected by
stirring in clear water, the greasy nature
of the coffee causing it to float on top
while the adulterating materials will
sink and rapidly discolor the water.
Always bny whole grain coffee--choos
ing large light uniform grains for mild
drink and dark green for strong. Avoid
bright celored coffees.

The first number Of Gen. e. r.
Hampton's new paper escaped Our
notice; and we felSa little chagrined
at the idea that our old friend had
passed US by in making up his exa
change list. The second number
came to hand last night; and now
we learn that the first did also, but
it was taken off before we saw it.
General Hampton goes in with
great energy to carry out the OBJ
jects of his publication which are
largely to make Sylvia known to the
world. We spent two days there
last year, and can vouch for the
eligibility of the site and its beauty
of location, and we hope and believe
that in most particulars it will real
ize the expectations of the founder
| of the town.
Elsewhere we give some items ta-
ken from the Journal.

DISTANT THUNDER.

The Danville Daily Register of the
18th contains the following which
we give as an item of news in con-
nection with indidents recently of
great interest here:
The arrival in the city yesterday
OF Mr.. Richmond Pearson and his
friend Mr.. J. R. Hamilton, of North
Carolina, created some little excite>
ment among people who chanced
to know that these gentlemen had
figured lately in an affair of honor
IN which Mr.. Pearson and Gen.
Johnstone Jones were principals.
The public mind was already agita-
ted about the Martinsville tragedy
and it was believed that Mr.. Pear.
son had come to town for blood.
The excitement did not manifest
itself perceptibly until about half
past eight last night when the gem
tlemen took hack and drove over
to Dundee. At this iuncture citi~
zens exchanged whispers of duels
and scalps land it was firmly believ-
ed that Messrs. Pearson and Hamil-
ton would soon return bringing
bloody scalps with them.
Under such state of things, the
public aforesaid was somewhat
chagrined when the carriage return
ed bringing scalps indeed, but on
the heads of two handsome gentle4
men who were friends of Messrs.
Pearson and Hamilton. A reporter
soughtan interview with Mr.. Hamil-
ton and one of the handsome and
amiable gentlemen above named,
and at this writing, 1890 a. M, tells
the readers of The Register thai. there
was no duel, and he goes to his
couch under the full conviction
that Mr.. Pearson, Mr.. Hamilton,
and the handsome and amiable
gentlemen aforesaid, will continue
to dwell together in unity, at least
for the present.

templates making a stock farm and
perhaps other valuableimprovments

Comb is a gentleman of fine culti-

we look forward to his settlement
permanently in out midst with an

takes time by the forelock has a
good opening for business ahead of
him.

beautiful stream and affords water

Of profit to the people of our whole

ACCIDENT AND DETENTION.
The mail train on the Paint Rock
branch going Yves Wednesday even
ing jumped the track this side of
Alexanders. No one was hurt, and
no material damage was done. The
sides of all the coaches and cars,
thrown against the rocks, were
roughly scratched and defaced, but
the frame work was not broken, and
no one was hurt. The train was de-
tanned, and did not go through to
Knoxville; so we had no mail from
that quarter yesterday.

PRoF. w. N. GEDDEs


of Williamsport, Pa, is on a visit
to Asheville, his third we believe, in
as many successive years, He. is a
gentleman of fine culture and wide
and intelligent observation, and his
views on the climate and general at
tractiveness are valuable. Of course,
they are highly favorable. We are
pleased to refer to him as affording
another illustration OF what we have
referred to before-Asheville is pracs
tically unknown abroad. "You are
going to Asheville,o he is asked;
"Where is Asheville? What is Ashe-
vile? What is there to attract peo~
pie there?" He tells them it is a
place in the mountains. Then If
in the South, it must be too hot in
the summer time for Northern
man. IF he proposes to come in the
mountains, it is too cold. In vain
do we tell each other here at home
that both of these are mistakes. In
vain we tell them that our summers
are cooler than those CT New Eng
land or the northwest, and that the
winters are warmer, and that there
are no deep or continuous SHOWS.
We don't correct mistakes in a
way to make them effective. We
don't advertise in the proper way.
We must spread broad cast over the
land by the ten thousand, by the
hundred thousand, information of
climate. capabilities, accessibilities
&C., &c.
Another article in this issue bears
upon this question. Let it be read by
