~uE MANGUM
,,ow to Introduce its Use.

~ En1roR:--T have seen the farm
M P, H. Mangum, near Wake
o. uaat and l wise to thank your cor
rOnondent of last week for his full
excellent account of Mr.. Man
Us successful farm methods. 1t
3 raaIlv refreshing to see with your
own ewes the whole problem of South
orn agriculture solved so successfully.
Mr., Mangum's success as an intelli.
cent and educated farmer, will go far
towards restoring country life to its
former popularity and prestige amongst
Ms. But my main object in this note
is to suggest some plan for getting his
system of terrace drains generally in
troduced among our farmers and
landowners. Your correspondent
gives a fair description of this great
farm reform. But have eve yet
seen it we'll described on paper, and
MIR. Mangum himself thinks it hard
to do. Besides no gentleman wishes
to see his private affairs constantly
paraded before the public. [ beg,
therefore, to submit the following
suggestions for overcoming these diff
fculties:
/. Let some n or more OF the
agricultural interests and influences
at Raleigh send a proper committee
to see and examine the Mangum ter
race, as tried by Mr.. Mangum and
others near Wake Forest, and then
have a few specimens of the work
thoroughly made in or near Raleigh,
so as to be easily seen and studied by
strangers and visiting farmers.
2. Let all who can go and see these
specimens merely as object lessons;
and, if necessary, let the different
County Alliances or other farmers
organizations send committees of in
spection for that purpose. For, L
NAV add, that while the Mangum ter
race or the terrace drain IS hard to
describe by words or on paper, a
glance OF the eye takes it all in.
| am the more inclined to ask tins
at the hands of our Raleigh friends
for the reason that l think the time
has come for the Experiment Station,
the Agricultural College, the State
Agricultural Society and other State
influences around the capitol city to
give the public some PRACTICAL re-
suits of the work they are doing.
Yours respectfully,
r. BARRINGER.

A NEW
Great Southern Remedy.

Having been a great sufferer, from child
hood, the result of prOtracted chills and indi-
gestiOn, terminating in diseases of LIVER,
KIDNEY and URINARY ORGANS, and having
tried many remedies known to the profession
with only temporary relief. After much ex-
perimentlng, I succeeded in discovering a
combination of vegetable remedies, which
combination has proven a emedy for diseases
of all the internal organs superior to any
known in a lite OF suffering and practice Of
fifty years. AS by it 1 have BE- en- restored
from what seemed to be inevitable death to
perfect hea tn, without any other medicine,
for those diseases over three years past. 1t
also Ell abled me to travel all the winter of
1888 and 1889, in the mountains, in all kinds
of weather, and eating any and everything set
before me with impunity. 1t has since cured
me of chills and prevented my taking ola
grippe" and relieved those of the late cpl
demic who tried it. 1t is also proving valua-
bic in many female diseases.

BAPTIZING IN JORDAN.
Natchez Democrat.

Natchez Democrat.
The sensational peripatelic Brook
lyn Tabernacle man is on his way
home after doing the Holy Land,
and doubtless comes we'll charged
with the inspiration derived from
his visit, and will have much. to
to tell his people of what lie saw,
but more Of what he did.
The tabernacle man relates how
he baptized in the Jordan:
"At Jericho met an American,
whose name | have forgotten, who
asked me TO baptize him in the rlv-
er Jordan. So one fine Sunday
morning when the sun was shining
gIoriously bright, we assembled to-
gether on The banks of the great
river. | was clad in The white
robes OF an Arab shiek. A small
crowd of interested people stood
about me, some of whom were A
mericans, who sang together, "On
Jordan's Stormy Banks | Stand"
which my daughter had copied
from hymn book. After this the
immersion was performed and we
disbanded."
Itis delightful to find this relator
going into such detail as to tell
how even he was dressed.
Doubtless he was photographed
in the garb of Arab shlek and in
this costume will be admired by
bis loyal people.
Think OF Brother Talmage of
blonde mutton chop whiskers
playing John the Baptist in the
costume of an Arab. 1t is just too,
TOO. 1t is pity the name of the
baptized has been lost, Tor of all
names his would have been linked
with that of the Arab of Long Is
land and handed down in the pic
lures to be painted of Talmage bap
tising in the Jordan.
