Eighth District.

For the past few days farmers
have been very busily engaged,
some hauling in wheat, some
threshing wheat, some blowing
while some have begun hay har-
vesting although it has been said
that the Sth District contains more
poor land than any other one in
the county, we have an honest and
industrious class of people.
We have tvs saw mills in opera
ton, turning out considerable lum-
Der. They are located in the south
part CT the district.
We have two post offices in this
district, one on the Montvale
Springs road, near six miles from
Maryville, known as Corn, under
the care of our genial friend s. H.
Henry. Our other one is known as
Block house, east of the above man,
ed, although 1t is about the same
distance from Maryville, it is cared
for at the house of our enterprising
young merchant Mr.. Will James
We have four or five threshing
outfits from this district which will
put in full time during the thresh.
ing period.
Not many of our people could
find time to 60 to Maryville last

A Discriminating Dog.

A red.nosed man was making his
way up Alabama Street, Atlanta,
heading for barroom, with thin
yellow dog affectionately following
him.
"Look at that dog" said Bailiff
Mig Thompson. "rhat's a smart
dog"
"Why% was the natural question,
there being nothing in the dogs
appearance to indicate as much.
"Just watch, now. The dog fol-
lows that fellow into stores and
houses, upstairs and down, through
all sorts of weather, just like he's
following him now. If that fellow
ever gets drunk and falls off the
bridge, the dog will fall off too. il
the fellow ever gets run over by q
train, the dog will too. But he
won't 60 into that barrOOm. He
knows a barroom as well as I do
and you can't force him into one
He'll stay outside, and wait, and
you can nearly always locate thai
fellow by standing at the corner O
Alabama and Prior and looking
both ways till you see that dog il
front of barroom, waiting, Now
watch him."
The red-nosed man went or
into the barroom. The dog looked
up sOrroWfully at the windows, Just
as if he were reading the sign, anC
then settled himself disconsolately
upon his hauches at the edge of tn;
sidewalk. He gazed at the door ir

er once taking his eyes away. HI
waited for fully ten minutes, and
then when the man came out the
dog rerumed his place following a

photographing wild Game.

The sportsman who goes in the
woods with a camera, as we'll AS
with his rifle and gun, invariably
returns with less powder wasted
and with more game. The camera
soon becomes a more beloved COM
panion than the firearm. It is
more certain to secure its quarry,
and, Though depriving no Innocent
life, rewards the sportsman with a
more beautiful trophy to show ad-
miring friends and for preserva-
ton than can be obtained from the
dead body of a noble animal which
he has ruthlessly slain.-The Ar

Mrs. Sarah M. Black of Seneca,
NO., during the past two years has
been affected with Neuralgia of the
Head, Stomach and Womb, and
writes: my food did not seem to
strengthen me at all and my appe-
tite was very variable. My face
was yellow, my head dull, and I had
such pains in my left side. In the
morning when I got up I would
have a flow of mucus in the mouth,
and a bad, bitter taste. Sometimes
my breath became short, and I had
such queer, tumbling, FACILITATING
sensations around the heart. I ached
all day under the shoulder blades,
In the left side, aud down the back
of my limbs. It seemed to be worse
in the wet, cold weather Of Winter
and Spring; and whenever the spells
came on, my feet and hands would
turn cold, and I could get no sleep
at all. I tried everywhere, and got
no relief before using August Flower
Then the change came. It has done
me a wonderful deal of good during
the time I have taken it and Il work

bars, g, G, can easily swing between
them. The cross-piece F is two feet
long and connects the lower end of the
swing bars g, G, with bolts, and to it in
the center is attached the saw with q
bolt. The upper ends of the bars G, G,
swing on bolts and the rest of the frame
is fastened solid with nails and bolts.
A common saw-buck or any other SINH
lar device can be used to hold the wood
to be sawed. Also for holding the stick
I use another old WORKOUT saw, secur-
ing one end to any convenient part of
the frame, and let it drop into the
stick which serves as dog.
The object Of having two swing-bars
and connecting them at the bottom is
to obviate too much rocking of the
saw. The upright H is made of two
strips, one nailed on each side of the
cross-piece B, SO that the saw can pass
between them. The other upright c
can be made the same or of one piece

SOME MILK STATISTICS.
Tho Tremendous Capital Invested In tn
Dairy Industry.

Tho Tremendous Capital Invested in tho
Dairy Industry.
The American Analyst says there arc
81, 000, 500, 900 invested in the dairy bust
ness in this country. That amount is
almost double the money invested in
banking and commercial industries. It
is estimated that it requires 5000, 900
cows to supply the demand for milk and
and its products in the United States.
To feed these cows 6o,0o0,0 900 acres of
land are under cultivation. The agri-
cultural and dairy machinery and i'm
plements are worth $500, ZOO, 600. The
men employed in the business number
$1,000, and the horses over 1000, 900.
There are over 10, 000, 900 horses all told.
The cows and horses consume annually
100000 tons of hay and nearly
90, OOO, 900 bushels of corn meal, about
the same amount Of oat meal, 275, 000, 900
bushels of oats, 100000 bushels of
bran, and 80, 00o, 900 bushels Of corn, to
to say nothing Of the brewery
grains, sprouts and other ques-
tionable feed of various kinds
that are used to q great extent. It costs
$40, 100000 to feed these cows and
horses. The average price paid to the
laborer necessary in the dairy business
is probably $50 per month, amounting
to $1so, 900, 900 year. The average cow
yields about $50 gallons of milk a year,
which gives total product Of 8, 750, 000,-
600. Twelve cents gallon is fair
price to estimate the value of the milk,
at total return to the dairy farmers Of
$50, ooo, 900, if they sold all their milk
as milk. But fifty per cent. of the milk
is made into cheese and butter. It takes
twenty-seven pounds of milk to make
one pound of butter and about ten
pounds to make one pound Of cheese.
There is tho same amount Of nutrition
albuminoids In eight and one-half
pounds of milk that there is in one
pound Of beef. A fat steer furnishes
fifty per cent. of boneless beef, bat it
would require $4,000, 900 steers, weigh
ing 1900 each, to produce the same
amount Of nutrition as the annual mill
product does.

AFRICAN EXPLORERS.
The Continent Has Been Crossed Sixtee
Times by White Men.

Tho Continent Has Been Crossed Sixteen
Times by White Men.
Africa has been crossed by explorers
sixteen times. The first journey, from
Angola to Yete, was made in 1s02-1e1i
by Honorato da Costa, Portuguese.
Francesca F. Coin bra went from Mozam-
bique to Benguela in 163s-45, and Silva
Porta from Benguela to the mouth of the
Rovumay in 1886. Livingstone left
San Paulo de Loando in 1854 and reached
Quilimane in 1856. The fifth crossing
was accomplished by Gerhard Rolfe,
who in 1865 and 1855 travelled from
Tripoi to the Gulf of Guinea, near the
mouth of the Niger. Lieutenant Cam
eron, twenty years after Livingstone,
did the sixth trip, between Bagamoyo
and Benguela. Then came Stanley
(1874-77), from Bagamoyo to the mouth
of the Congo; Serpa Pinto (1877-79), from
Benguela to Port Natal; the Italians,
Matteuci and Massari (1sso-s2), from
Suakim to the mouth of the Niger Be-
tween 1882 and 1884 Wissmann went
from San Paulo de Loanda to Sadaani,
on the Zanzibar coast, and Arnat, a
Scotch missionary, went from Port Natal
to Benguela. The twelfth crossing was
made ino1ss4~s5 by Capello and Ivans,
Portuguese; the thirteenth in 1865 by
the Swedish Lieutenant, Gleerup, who
passed but six months in reaching Baga-
moyo from Stanley's Falls, on the Lower
Congo The Austrian, Oscar LEM. went
from the mouth of the Congo to Quill
name in 1665-87. The fifteenth crossing
was Stanley's last one. The sixteenth
was done by the French Captain Trivier,
who took two years to 60 from Angola
to Mozambique. Besides these sixteen
successful crossings, there are on record
many trips of exploration that were cut
short on the Dark Continent by the
tremendous natural difficulties. It is
remarkable that in the last ten years
more crossings have been made than in
the preceding eighty, and that while
long ago ten years were required for
the undertaking, one year or even six
months may now be sufficiently. Y.

dow to Keep Farms f ON Having . SLOW
emily Appearance.
In riding through the country I fire.
quently pass good farms that have a
way-down appearance. The barn doors
are off their hinges, wire fences loosened
just enough for stock to pass through
or over, and sheds out of repair. But
when I think Of my place as it looked
ten years ago believe it looked worse
than my neighbors', though I f1atter
myself it looks better now. Some things
which look badly on the farm are tho
results of chance. For instance, having
q stack Of hay near fence in the pas
ture, have turned the fence about the
stack and left it to be Strengthened
when had more time. have now but
one crooked fence. l have made NOV
able fence of lumber and wire. The
panels have three wires for stock and
five for hogs. The top and bottom bars
project at either end and are secured by
