THE FIRST PAPER MONEY.

About four centuries ago, wheI
the Spaniards, under the Catholic
King and Queen, Ferdinand ant
Isabella, were wrestling the strong
places one by one from the MoUrs
one Count do Tendille, was PLACED
in charge of tho important post o
Albania; the recovery OF which haC
been accomplished.
The fortress was we'll into the
Moorish country and sometimes hC
was not supplied with money with
which to pay his soldiers. In these
days the government did not fur.
nish their garrison sometimes, bu;
paid them IN coin with which they
bought their own supplies. The
count was without money and his
soldiers complained that the town
people refused TO sell them pro-
visions. So he wrote on bits of
paper certain amounts, signed his
own name to them and gave them
to the soldiers in earnest of their
pay. Hethen issued a proclama.
ton ordering the citizens of Alba.
ma to take the paper at par, threat
ening to punish all who should re-
fuse, and promising to redeem them
in gold and silver. The good peo-
pie had confidence in his ability to
do either, and wisely took the
morsels of paper, which were after
wards redeemed for their value.
This is recorded as tho first instance
in which paper money was ever
issued.

other day with an ordinary motion
which should have been granted
IN due course of law. But 1T wasn't.

A frequent mistake in hay-mak-
ing is to over-dry the hay, says
Colman's Rural World. Not only
is the hay better when housed or
stacked as soon as possible after
cutting as 1t will keep, but the risk
of getting the crop damaged by
rain is avoided. The views Of
farmers have changed very mate
rally In latter years in regard to
the amount of drying necessary to
insure the keeping of hay. Expe-
rience has shown that much less
drying is necessary than was form
erly supposed to be required, espe-
cially If the hay is put into a tight
barn.

The New York Times says that
if the owner ola hundred-aere
farm, worth twenty thousand dol
lars, were to sell his property for
cash, he could not possibly invest
his money nearly so well as it was
on the farm, for the interest at five
per cent. on the capital would not

which he enjoyed on the farm, but

The best place to store honey
When removed from hives is in hot,
well ventilated rooms. Some cell
lars may do, but 1 have none in
which the honey will not in time
get thin, break the Gaping and run
from the boxes; and extracted
honey grows thin and bubbling.
One year while experimenting to
find suitable place for storage,
some was put in an empty cham
Der, some In the cellar, and a por-
ton put on the top of q cupboard
in the kitchen, where a coal fire
was kept, and the thermometer at
times in the porch adjoining indi-
Gated one hundred degrees in the
shade. In the latter place the
honey kept perfectly, and in the
others grew waterly, oozing from
the combs.-Mrs. L. Harrison.

also its wide use as a wood pre-

THE LAWYER,

The lawyer is merely sort Of
intellectual strumpet. He is pre-.
pared to receive big fees and make
the best of either of any case. He
is sort of burglar in the realm
of mentality. 1t is a fortunate
thing for The lawyers that when
ever man is created who has the
faculty for legal requirements and
controversy, at the same time
enough fools spring up into exls-
tcnce to make him a good living.
1t is illustrated in the story of the
man who studied for the ministry
and occupied the pulpit for a num-
of years without success, and then
studied medicine and practiced
this profession for q number of
years without success, and then
studied law, and entering upon its
practice, made fortune out of 1t.
He declared that he had found
more men willing to pay for hav-
ing their own way than to be guar
anteed their souls or to keep their
bodies whole. My ideal of great
lawyer is that great English at
torneys who accumulated a fortune
of million and left it in a will to
make q home for idiots, declaring
that ne wanted to give it back to
the people from whom he took it.

Eight of Them.

Shed Fielder, John Glass, All
Jones, VIM. DAVIS, Felix Kinlow,
Stewart Jones, Steve Jackson and
Handy Hays, negroes, were
brought IN from Graball Thursday
afternoon under heavy guard and
lodged in Jail. They are all charg-
ed with being accessory to the
murder of Devices Bolton, at Flew
cllen's on Tuesday night. They
had preliminary examination be-
fore justice Vernon of Washington.
Hill, tho negro who fred the fatal
shot has not been arrested. 1t is
said that tho above named negroes
were hanging around the polls
when the vote was being counted
armed with shotguns, pistols, old
muskcts and old Enfield rifles.
The feeling in the Washington
precinct is very bitter
against the white scaIawags
who advised the negroes
to arm themselves, and they are
much moro blamed for the murder
than the negroes who are under
arrest. Reports como from all
parts of the county that during
The canvass the white radical office
seekers and their strikers made
incendiary speeches and advocated
social equality at the owl meetings.
To these speeches is attributed the
foul murder of young Bolton and
the feeling of conservative and
law-abiding taxpayers towards
these white radicals may be better
imagined than described. The
bulldozing of negroes has not ad-
ded anything to cngcnder good
