Tn Good Condition.

A representative of the Tennessee
Farmer had occasion to visit Col
umbia and Pulaski last week, and
made it special point to obseve the
condition of crops, and found all
along the line of the l.. & N. Rsil-
road, from Nashville to Pulaski, tina
they were never in a cleaner and
better condition-not one grassy OF
weedy field to be found on either
side of the road. The cotton and
corn crops are farther advanced
than was anticipated as the late sea
son of cold and frost, it was gener-
ally believed, had the material
growth of all farm products. The
outlook for good yields and profit
able returns were never more
fiattering and encouraging in the
middle section for many years.

A False Tssl1e.

The Waverly Times.Journal says
the Nashville Issue is ostensibly the
earnest advocate of prohibition, but
in reality if its utterances mean
anything, is making a more earnest
fight against democracy, and in its
wild rawlings does not seem to care
much for the truth. One of it's lat
est in this line is an assertion that
when you find saloon man you
find a democrat, or scratch a demo-
crat you scratch a man favoring q
saloon. The first assertion the wri-
ter knew to be false, also the latter.
Some of the most loyal democrats
in Humphreys county were earnest,
active supporters OF the amendment
and still favor prohibition as q
great moral question, but are honest
democrats and will support the
democratic nominees from Cleveland
dow3, and of such there are thous-
ands in the state, men as honest,
conscientious and as honorable as
the Issue man.

The ISSUE,


Mr.. Mills, in speech in congress
a few days ago, charged the repub-
lican party, as announced in their
platform, of being in favor of free
whisky. He showed that the re.
publicans propose to empty the
treasury by taking the tax of
whisky and to get revenue by put
ting up the tax on the necessaries
of life. The republicans writhed
under the charge but could not dis
prove it. Mr.. Mills has sounded
the keynote for the campaign. Push
the issue and the bloody shirt will
sink into insignificance. The peo-
pie prefer cheap clothes to cheap
whisky. Let the ball roll on.

He Wasn't There.

The friends of General Harrison
tried to create little bogus fame
for him at Indianapolis last week.
This was done by the managers Of
the cyclorama of the "Battle of At
lanta." This cyclorama was built
by popular subscription of $40
and upward. Democrats as well
as republicans are stockholders.
On Wednesday morning an ar
fist appeared on the scene, and very
shortly thereafter the picture of
Captain Theodore Davis, war cor
respondent of Harper's Weekly,
disappeared, and in its stead ap-
peared Gen. Harrison, mounted on
a white horse. Harrison wasn't
in the battle at all.
This alteration reused the iudig-
nation of the democratic stockhold-
els, and they Immediately proceed
ed to make things worm for TIE
management, with the result that
the directors have ordered the pic
ture restored to its original form.

Water IN Cooking,

All cooks do not understand the

cause these substances harden vege-

onions, boil nearly tasteless in soft
water because all the flavor is boil

checks this, as in case Of onions,
causing the vegeta bles to retain the
peculiar favoring principles, be-
sides such nutritious matter as
might be lost in soft water. For
extracting the juice ofmeat to make
a broth or soup, soft water, unsalt-

Bv All Means.

The republican platform declares
that the party is in favor of taking
off the whisky taxes entirely, and
making all intoxicating liquors free
of government tax, rather than a
bate one jot or little of the tribute
the people now pay ON their cloth
ing and blankets to the wool-tarifi
barous of the west. That policy
would keep clothing and blankets
dear and make liquors cheap. How
do sincere friends of temperance,
whether prohibltionists OF not, like
the programmed If they do not
like it their remedy is to vote against
the party that is pledged to it. Not
for many years has there been such
necessity for independent voting as
there is this year. Not for many
years has the republican party sc
repealed sensible voters as 1t repels
them now.-Boston Globe.

For the benefit of that element of

fess to oppose Mr.. Cleveland be-
cause he is free trader, we produce
below an extract from the presi-

Outstanding these utterances of the
president we can't see how any real
democrat can oppose him upon the
plea that he is free trader and
opposed in the least degree to the
protection of American labor and
American manufactures, and if any
pretended democrat persist in his
opposition to Mr.. Cleveland upon
this ground we can only believe
that he is making the argument
simply as an excuse for going over
to the republicans, where, perhaps.

extract referred to. Read, all We

A Disgrace to Civilization.

The Chicago Journal of Com
merce states that three newsboys of
that city, guilty of no misdemeanor,
were arrested last week at their re-
quest and sent to the bridewell.
Their reason for wishing to go there,
as stated to the police justice, was
that they wanted to learn a
trade. Under the laws of the trade
unions there is almost no chance
for the American boy to learn a
trade in any shop or mandatory
outside of q house of correction.

A Close State.

Indiana has been for a number Of
of years a close state in poll
tics. Lincoln carried it in 1860
by 23,52S votes, and IN 1864 by
2O.1S9. Grant carried it in 1868 by
$3.50 and in 1872 by plurality of
22,5l5. Tilden's plurality in 1876
was 5,515. In 1880 Garfield's plu'
rality was 6,64l, while Cleveland's
plurality in 1884 Was 6,512. The
present Legislature on joint ballot
has democratic majority of 2. She
has 7 democrats and republicans
in congress. OF course such doubt.
full ground will be holly contested
the present outlook being decidedly
favorable to the democrats.

The Prince Albert.

The Prince Albert coat is a
thing of beauty, but great many
outrages are committed upon it.
The worst one is to make 1t of light
brown cloth. 1t should always be
made of dark cloth-black, blue
black or brown black, and with no
figure. The diagonal cloth is for
the cut away single-breasted coat.
Another great outrage on the state
ly and ornate Prince Albert is to
wear it with derby hat or any
other sort of a hat except tall silk
hat. Three things 60 together nat
urally, viz: The Prince Albert coat
(which should always be worn but
toned up closely J, the "stove pipe"
hat and boutton- naire. The but
ton hole bouquet never looks quite
at home in the button hole of a cut
away or sack coat, and with neither
of these coats does the "plug hat
perfectly consist. If you are going
to wear clothes at all you might as
well wear them right, for not only
the apparel but the wearing of the
apparel oft proclaims the man.-Ex.

The Women Of Costa Rica.


The little delays at the various
wayside stations afford an excellent
opportunity for observing the diff
ferent types of Costa Ricans; for
side by side with the travelled gen.
tlemen, attired with scrupulous re-
gard to the fashions of this last
quarter of the nineteenth century,
stands the barefooted men of the
peon class, in nearly every case
more than decently CARRIED, but
with the silken scarf about the
waiste and the huge machete which
are the insignia of their rank in
life. These groups are always pic
turesque, for the costume of the
women alone is sufficient to add a
charm to the rapid succession of
pictures ever passing in affiuence of
color and form before the eyes of
the obse.vant traveller.
These women, even small girls,
wear full starched skirts that touch
the ground, only displaying their
small bare feet as the folds sway in
the motion of walking. From living
SO much in the open air, and from
the amount of exercise taken, they
nearly all glory in splendidly devel-
oped chests, which, with their round
ed arms, are fully displayed by the
much betrilled waists worn by the n
all, differing only in the matter OF
more or less adornment. Still, over
their shoulders they dispose the
folds of a silk or wooden scarf, or q
bright colored handkerchief, which
usu ally only reveals the full throat
and the graceful curve of the arm
and shoulder.
While referring to the beauty o.
the peon women it must be added
that their pleasing appearance lasts
only with the years of their frs
youth. Whether the exercises ant
the open air together produce TOT
early maturity, and in consequence
a too early decay, it is hard to sa,
1.-THE result is there all the same
; Side by side with the young ant
handsome daughter, the picture @
blooming health, stands the mothe
"a worn and wrinkled crone-th

from one to the other the heart i
moved with the same compassion
with which poor Holly gazed upo

tiOns.

DRYING Tomatoes.


carried on in drying tomatoes to use
during portions of the year when
fresh fruit cannot be obtained. To.
matoes are grown, for the most
part, between rows of grape vines,
sometimes trained in (the lower
bar of the trellis to which the vines
are attached. The tomatoes are al
lowed to remain on the branches un-
til quite ripe. They are then pack
ed and pressed in bags made of
coarse cloth, which allows the pulp
to pass through, but which retains
the seeds and skins. The pulp is
then thinly spread out on cloth,
boards, or in shallow dishes and
expose to the sun to dry. When it
has become quite dry, it is broken
up fine or ground and put in boxes
or bags and sent to market. A
large part is used for soups, but q
considerable portion is employed as
we do tomotoes when preserved in
tin or other cans. 1t is soaked for
few hours 10 warm water, and
then cooked in the ordinary man
ner. There is a great prejudice
against canned tomatoes, many be-
ing unwholesome. Acid Juice,
which thep contain, unltes with the
solder of the tin cans and forms q
disagreeable compound. Perhaps
the pulp could be evsporated as we
do fruit. Who has tried itY-West.

We have used eysporated toma-
toes all the winter, and found them
very much nicer, and we feel conf
dent they are much more healthful
than canned. They have none OF

ned tomatoes. According to the
best medical authorities tomatoes
should never be canned in tin, but

The following brief synopsis from

Tne Following BRIEF synopsis from
the Dickson Democrat is very cor
rect: An editor works ger DAVIS
per year to get out so issues of a
paper; that's work. Once in a
while somebody pays him years
subscription; that's capital; and
once 10 a while some "son of gun"
of a dead beat takes tie paper for a
year or two and then vanishes
without paying for it; that's an
archy; but later on justice will over
take the last named creature, for
for there is place where he will
get his deserts; that's hell.
