A Sad Death.-On Tuesday of last week
Mr.. George w. Drummer, popular young
man about 25 years of age and resident
of Pooesvile district, was stricken with
paralysis and died the following Sunday
On the day that he was paralyzed he had
gone to field on the farm which he was
cultivating to pillow. He stopped over to
loosen tap to readjust the plow The
wrench which ne was using slipped from
the tap and gave him violent shock. He
then said to a young man who was with
him, II have burst something in the back
of my head" He was advised by his friend
to sit down. He did so and again remarked,
Everything is growing dark" The doctor
was at once sent for and Mr.. Drummer
carried to his home. The doctor found
he was paralyzed and had but little
hope of his recovery from that time. But
to the pleasure of his many friends and de-
voted relatives he grew better in day or
so, and to the surprise Of all another fatal
change in his condition took place and he
passed away.

and largely operated. Mr.. John l.. Bounce,

mine is the best in this country, excepting,
perhaps, one in Maine, and as between the
two, if there is any difference, the one at
Hunting Hill has the advantage. A greater

Weather and cine Crops.-1

Weather and the CrOps.-The gov
ernment weather report says the weather
during last week was generally favorable
to growing crops in the Southern States,
where the grain is reported in good condi-
ton and the cotton crop about two-thirds
planted. Heavy rains retarded farm work
in Arkansas and West Tennessee, and more
rain is needed in Kentucky and the South
ern portion of the East Gulf States In the
winter wheat region, extending from Ohio
to Kansas and Nebraska, rains during the
week affected growing crops favorably. The
season is well advanced and the crops are
in good condition, but there is a general de-
ficiency in moisture throughout both the
winter wheat and spring wheat regions of
the central valleys and the Northwest. In
Minnesota and Dakota the weather was gen.
orally unfavorable, and high winds, with de-
structive prairie fires, interrupted farm work,
which, however, is we'll advanced. In the
Middle States the conditions were gener-
ally favorable for wheat, rye and oats, but
the work was delayed by wet weather. In
NeW EuSiahu lue Siouuu Is Sehefaily COW
cred with snow, and but little farm work
has been completed. The prospect for the
fruit crop in the Southern and Western
States is excellent, although slight injury is
reported from frost in Missouri and Ken
lucky. In the central portion of the cotton
region, including Mississippi and Alabama,
the rainfall for the season at present ranges
from 65 to 80 per cent Of the average.

The Harrison Grip"

A strange malady that appears to be ep-
idemic is prevailing in Newburg, New
York.
Everybody there is talking about the
disease, and at the present time it is estl-
mated that two thousand Newburg people
have the Harrison grip" One physician
has seventy cases, another sixty eight, one
fifty-two, and others are run to death
with patients affected.
The premonitory symptoms of the dis
ease are lassitude, pains in the back and
side, alternating chills and hot flashes, etc.
Children principally are affected, although
when adults are attacked the illness is
much more severe and prolonged, though
as yet no case have proved fatal.
No cause can be assigned for the exist
ence of the disease, although many think
it the result of prolonged wet weather and
the bad condition of the water in Washing
ton Lake, from which the water supply OF
Newbufg comes. The fear of the phys
icians is that the disease may assume a
more aggravated form later in the season,
and result in a general spread of typhoid
malaria The disease has been variously
termed pleurisy, muscular rheumatism and
malaria but the term Harrison grip has
now Caught on" and is in general use.
\ similar epidemic prevailed in that
part of the State in 1912, during the term
of office of President Tyler, and it was
then called the 'Tyler grip" a large
number of cases have occurred where per
sons were stricken with this peculiar dis.
ease on the street, reeling and falling be-
fore assistance could be rendered, and
then they were powerIess to walk to theil
homes. So far as ascertained no Other
town along the Hudson river is similarly
! afflicted.

Heart Failure.


The 1mericdH 4hdiyst thinks it would
be an excellent idea if the physicians Of the
present day would invent some other rea-
son for about all the deaths which occur
nowadays than that of heart failure. 1t is
difficult Tor any one conyersant with the or
ganS of the human body to understand how
any human being can die without heart
failure, while the causes of the failure OF
the heart at death may be very numerous.
This might not be of serious moment We're
it not for the fact that hundreds of people
are being nearly frightened to death by
the constant Use of the cause for sudden
deaths, and many people who are sick, and
necessarily have some heart symptoms,
are kept in constant terror by reading or
hearing in other ways of death after death
by heart failure. 1t would be well if ply
sicians who are too indolent or tooignorant
to search out the disease lying back of the
heart failure to consider how much harm
they are doing the community. and if they
cannot correct the habit, newspapers and
the public should avoid giving currency to
this unfounded and dangerous phrase.
There are probably no more deaths from
heart failure in these times than heretofore,
but new cause for death has been coined.
and the nervous and timid are being Sc
verely injured by it.

Haw Ponds Goings andComings

wonderful natural curioSities in Georgia.
1t is situated in a low place, with hills on
every side sloping down to it. Indeed. 1t
is down Hill for miles in going to the pond
from any direction. Just at this time ev-
cry year the water gradually goes down a
few feet. Then there is rush of water,
a tremendous roar, and within few min
utes every drop of water disappears This
has happened for years. and it has never
been known to prove disappointment to
those who 90 to witness the disappearance
On June Is, about a dozen Cordelians left
here for the pond. They carried fishing
tackle in abundance, and spent day and
night catching any number Of the finest
specimens of the finny tribe. They met
about fifty others who had gathered at the
pond to fish and wait for the water to dis
appear. Where the fishermen dropped
their lines to the depth of ten feet Thurs
day night, there was scarcely a drop of
water Saturday morning. In a day the
water had disappeared completely. For
miles around the ground is said to be un-
stable and liable to sink. Only few
weeks ago the bottom dropped oat. and
now only the tops of trees can be seen
above ground. Every year large crswds

Phthisis from House Sweeping.

experimental with the dust obtained from
the walls and floors of various dwellings
in which tubercular patients have been,
inoculating guinea pigs WITH it, and care
fully excluding all possibility of infection
from outside sources. In this way, TWEEN
tv-one rooms of seven Berlin hospitals
were examined, and baeilli found to have
been present in the dust from most of
them Positive results were also obtained
with the dust from insane aSylums and
penitentiareS.
The dwellings of fifty-three tubercular
patients were Investigated in the same
way, and the dust in the neighborhood of
twenty patients found to be virulent. 1t
was the case, with absolute regularity,
that the dust was always virulent when
the patient had been in the habit of spit
ting on the floor or in a handkerchief,
while it was never so when a spit cup had
been employed.
