Poisoned mish m.laria.

MT. s. D. Price, g native of this state, but now a prominent and influential citizen of Dallas, Texas. writes under date of April l2, 1889: .sAbout three years ago I was living in malarial district of Georgia, and while there frightful sores broke, out all over my body. The poison in my blood was so bad that it ruined my health and prostrated me. was at tlength SO reduced in health, and ap- parently incurable after taking large ,quanti- ties of different medicines prescribed by my physicians, tha' they, as a last resort, advised me to go to Hot Springs, as it was the only chance of recovery left, and in this they ex- pressed their serious doubts that would de- rive any benefit from the trip. went to Hot Springs, and while there took . thorough course of medicine under the physicians, which seemed to benefit, but did not cure me, for in one month after my return the malady reappeared immediately began taking s. s. s., which made me permanently well-well from 1886 until now.

 THE OLD BARN.
BY JENNY EMO BROOKS.

BY JENNY EMO BROOKS. o the old red barn at Sconset-
 Long and roomy, dim and high With it's grey caves all dripping As the storm clouds scudded by. What perfect Eldorado
 To us merry, romping boys, Gagged by autumn's rainy weather, Banished from the house for noise. How the door creaked as it opened, And it's pond'rous weight swung back How we ducked to dodge the cave drops Fred and Noll and Hal and Jack. How we laughed as Sultan Brahma And his draggled harem fled To the more sequestered shelter
 Of the nearest wagon shed. How the horses whinnered welcome, Snuffng for expected treat, Reaching necks across the managers, Stamping with impatient feet. How we slid across the flooring To an undulating line Of white horns and honest faces Sober oxen, lowing kline. How we searched along the fringes Of the great mows swinging low For the choicest wisps of clover Sconset meadows used to grow. And the long tongues sheathing, licking, ,- Ever kind, but rough as sand Caught away the dainty morsel From the teasing, sun-burned hand. Such hunt for stolen hens' nests Under manager, box and board Queer, unthonght-of dingy corners, Yielding oft precious hoard. Sometimes up among the grain sheaves, M0uay amallinQ rye and OatS Scrambling, rolling, climbing, leaping, Nimble as young mountain goats. Then to lie among the grasses
 On the mammoth we'll filled bay, Peeping through chink at martins Gathering for their flight away; And so real seemed the stories
 Read or talked of by the hour, That swift rain-drops oft seemed arrows And the hay-loft castle tower. o the wondrous things we thought of, Lying on that fragrant bed, G With the rain-drops softly chiming On the shingles overhead; And the doves all cooing, cooing, In the copes along the beams, Till we all went off together
 To g land of happy dreams. Even now whem storm clouds gather, And no resting place find From the vexing cares and questions Soothing through my troubl=d mind, Back my weary soul goes fleeing ; Der times tangled by-gone ways, To the old red barn at Sconset And it's dreamy rainy days.

Extensive works for the improve

it is hoped thai in curse of time the
evils. of a low Nile will be materi-
ally diminished. Exports to Great
Britain from Egypt during 1888 fell,
owing to the decrease in the export
of cotton and cotton seed, which is
due largely 70 the low Nile, and the
decrease in imports is attributable Il

The Commercial Revival in
Egypt.

Sir Charles Cookson, in a report ON
the trade of Alexandra for the past
year, which has Just been issued,
remarks that the trade depression
which affected Egypt in %cOnnexion
with the whole commercial world,
md which in her case was aggra-
waited by local circumstances, seems
now 10 be passing away. Some
Alexandrian business firms went
down while it lasted, but those which
have stood have increased The conf
dence with which they were regarded,
so that business may be said to be on
a irmer footing. The revival OF Sc
curity is shown by the fact that our
capitalists are manifesting Il greater
disposition 10 invest their money in
works of public utility. New com
panies for various purposes are being
formed, and if they are successful
much will be done to improve the
condition of Alexandria and TO de-
velop the u of other parts Of
the country. One project is to pro
vide the town with electric light,
another for the construction of tram
ways, and a third for the improve
ment of the navigation of the. Nile
which will facilitate the transport OF
the products of the lands adjoining
the rive The most important of
these schemes is one for improving
the entrance to the harbour of Alex
andria. 1t is proposed to wide" the
entrance sufficiently to allow ships
to pass through without danger
during the night, while it will be
possible by daylight and in fnvourd.-
BILE weather for two vessels to pass
abreast instead Of waiting for their
turn. The work of the Irrigation
Department is progressing, the area
rendered cultivable having been in
creased during 1855 as lar as the
funds admitted. In places where the
river did not rise sufficiently high to
water the country adjacent the lands
remained uncultiyated, except in a
few instances where ii was possible
to- grow a small quantity Of maize by
raising the water by artificial means

A Guess at the Lumber Eaten in Hop
kinsville.
Few people are aware of the mag
niture Of the watermelon trade IL
Hopkinsville. In the early part ol
the season large shipments of South
ern melons are received, hut II is moi
until the home melons are ripe that
the actual consumption begins, The
crop 10 usually ready for the msrkei
by the first Of August, but this year
the melons were about two weeks
late In ripening. The season IL now
at his hight and will after this week
begin to wane. Melons OF the finest
quality weighingfrom Is to 40 pounds
can now be bought from wagons on
the streets for % cents, and 10 cents
will buy one large enough for two
men 10 eat and have all they want.
1t is q difficult matter to estimate
how many melons are sold here in a
season. AS yet there have been no
attempts made to raise them for other
markets and the en- tire crop Is con-
sumed at home.
A few years ago there were only
one or two growers who made bus
ineis of raising watermelons for this
m ,rket. Now there are perhaps a
score of them. Among the more
pro niuent and successful ores are
Fountain Cox, G. T. Yancey, James
G. Yancey, W. l. Parker, Dave Hal
ston, Jas. b. Ferguson and ]. f.
Meacham. All of these have raised
fine crops this season aud have
brought in load after load of as fine
melons as were ever grown in the
county. Mr.. Jas. Yancey claims the
blue ribbon for size, having raised
several that weighed more than SO
and one that reached IS pounds,
Will Parker raised one SO pound.
err and others almost as large. Dave
Ralston has perhaps brought more
loads TO market than.any one Of the
others. Besides these there are many
other raisers who have helped supply
the demand and II is not an over-esti-
mate to say that 200 wagon loads OF
melons have been sold In Hopkinsville
within the last five weeks.
These will probably average 30
melons that will sell at Is cents each,
which would make total OF $500
or $500 4 week paid far them. This
money is divided between the pro-
Queer and the retailer, but most of II
goes to the producer. The figures
show watermelon raising to be very
profitable. The largest raisers cult
vate only few acres and with any
thing like good yield they can clear
from $lCo to 5000 per acre.

Berry Binford Dead.

MEMPHIS, Sept. 3.-Berry II. Bin
ford, who was the youngest soldier
In the Confederate army, died yester-
day while on business trip to Mon
roe, La. His father, DIR. Binford,
was surgeon in the Confederate
army. The boy, when about 8 years
old, struck out to find his father, and
reported to Gen. Wheeler, who took
him for Federal spy sent in by
some of the Union people. The Gen.
eral kept an eye on the little chap,
and finally turned him over to Col.
Josiah Patterson, who knew DR.
Binford, and at once assumed the
care of the boy. AS lie would not
60 back home, a pony was secured
for him, gun was sawed off the
length and he was recognized from
that time on to the end OF the war as
q soldier. 1t is stated that young
Binford and another boy, not much
older, undertook to do little special
service once. They went out be.
tween the lines, somewhere up In
North Alabama, threw up some small
breastworks and awaited the advance
of the Federals on the opposite side of
a small river. The column came in
sight and the boys opened fire as II
backed by an army, which the Fed
erals naturally supposed to be forr.
The boys held the fort whole da,
and when night came on they scam
pered off and rcjoined their command
several miles away. Binford was
the famous suspicious case that caus
ed panic in this city last summer.
