The Colored Odd Fellows lodge
of McMinnville had a street parade
last Saturday in which goat form
ed prominent figure. The old joke
about the goat figuring in the ritu-
alistic workings of secret societies has
become quite moss grown chestnut,
and this was the first naturalization
of it we have ever seen.
Mr.. A. J. Curl, our old and
popular Circuit Court Clerk, has been
confined at his home near Vervilla
for two or three weeks, and there is
very little prospect of his ever re-
covering sufficiently to get back to
his Office again. His many good
friends here miss him very much
from his customary place.
We understand that cholera has
broken out among the hogs in some
parts of this county. We have seen
it stated in agricultural papers that
watermelOns are sure preventative
of cholera in hogs, and that there is
no danger whatever of cholera to
hogs which are given all the water
melons they will eat. How much
truth there is in this we are unable
} to say, but as watermelons are very
abundant this year, we would like
for some of our farmers to try the eX-
perimentand report the results to us.
Prof. w. E. Bell, who, owing to
, somewhat impaired health, was led
to resign the superintendency of our
City Schools, has accepted the gener-
al agency for the Atkins Patent Mill
Stone Dress, and is now giving his
entire attention the work connected
, Herewith. While his headquarters
will still be at McMinnville, he will
spend the greater part of his time
travelling and interviewing the mil
, lerS, and it is only necessary to eX-
plain the merits of the Atkins Dress
to any miller to sell it to him.
Our new County Court, as soon
as they are qualified, should take
, steps toward some improvement OF
the county Jail. There is but one cell
, in which all prisoners must be kept,
and it is a miserable rock dungeon,
poorly ventilated. 1t is little less
than barbar0us to incarcerate any
person in such place for any length
d, of time, no matter what the offence
= may be. The county is amply able
to make better provisions and give
u its prisoners more humane treatment
than can possibly be done at the pres
: ent Jail.
DR.. Hazleton takes every case
- down in writing, and although he
has at this time over one thousand
u cases on hand, his business is so vel
\ systemized that no mistakes are
: made, and no patient is neglected
c Every year of his experience is more
than lifetime of ordinary local ply
k sicians. He looks at patient, ant
