Deceptive Telegraph Poles.

In Java the woodpeckers bore into
the telegraph poles, deceived by the
buzzing sound made by the wires into
the belief that insects are concealed in
the wood. In Norway the woodpeckers
have been found to bore into the poles,
but more curious is the fact that in
Norway bears have torn away the
large stones placed at the bottom of the
poles, deceived by the sound into think
ing that bees md their store of honey
were to be found beneath.

THE COTTON CROP.
Staunch Friends of the South.

| Under date of l7th inst. Messrs. Hill, Fontaine & Go. of St. Louis, is sued the following circular to mer- chants and planters. It is so sensi- ble and timely that we reproduce it- hoping our readers will be benefit, 1 ted thereby.
 1 "Cotton continues to drag under the heavy weight of enormous re ceipts and an unprecedented crop. It is now believed by the trade that the crop will be in excess of 8,300,- 900 bales. We are free to admit that it has been g great surprise to us, | largely Tn excess of our estimate of the crop. Middling cotton is quot ed to day at New Orleans, Memphis and St. Lotus at 8 9 Is. In 1878, under influence of the Glasgow Bank failure, and in 1886, for short peri od of threatened war and money panics, we had the same low values, but in both of these years we had rallies from the depression. In no other years in the past thirty, has cotton been known to be so cheap. That this is under the cost of production no one will doubt, and that there is little encouragement for southern planters to raise our staple, when they can buy it now for less money than It costs to produce | it, for with corn as selling to-day at 72 cents bushel, ,and wheat at l.l0, and c. $. bacon at 84 cents, and all advancing, tue outlook IS anything but encouraging for the cotton pro dueer. We again urge our friends to give their best efforts to the rais. ing of cereals, cattle and hogs and make cotton secondary considera- tion.
 Caution and economy should be the guide and policy of every one. We mean bankers, merchants and farmers. Live at home, and on the products Of your own county. The money situation should be carefully considered.
 There IS more demand and less surplus offering than for several seasons past at this season of the year. It is long time before the harvesting of another crop. and all should endeayor to keep out of debt, so as to be able to stand any strin- gency that might possibly occur du- ring the heavy movement of the agricultural crops daring the au umn season. With the adoption and close following of the above suggestions we see no cause to look forward to the future but with hopes Of pros perity. HILL, FoNTAINE & Co.

A Life Insurance Policy

Is simply means of laying up DOT ton of your present earnings to pro- tect your wife or your children against want and destitution, against the hard ships and privations of penury, against life of toll and drudgery, in case of your death. It is simply a wise and carefully guarded provision to leave q fund for the education of your boys or girls, in order that they may be qualified to occupy useful positions and
 be able to cope with others in the race Of life. The same money you pay for yonr life insurance you would squan- der for something of less benefit, in fact Life Policy is about the only way a man of moderate earnings can
 ever hope to leave his family one, two or five thousand dollars in ready cash.
 The policy issued by the Prevalent Savings Life Assurance Association, of
 New York, is so fair and reasonable in price that any man can afford to take one. This company issues it's policies
 on all the approved plans. The req sonable term policy gives you very
 low rate and you pay annually as long as you want to keep the policy in force. The 10, 15, and 20 year payment poii- cies are paid mp in that number of years respectively. Under this latter
 policy, after you have made 3payments the company gives you three options: lst. You can surrender your policy aud get the cash value of it. 2nd. You can
 cease paying and have your full insur- ance extended for an equitable num-
 Der of years; or 3rd. You can stop pay ing and the company will give a full paid lp policy for an e0ritablp DrODOr- yon can continue the payments for the number of years selected and at the end Of the period the surrender value is added to the face of the policy If you
 want to insure call on J. E. Batten-
 field and he will explain more fully.

Dearness Can,t be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion Of the gar. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness IS caused by an inlamed con- ditlon of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets lnfamed you have rnmblIng sound or imperfect hearing. and when t is entirely closed, deafness is the result. and unless the inflammation can bc taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caus- cd by catar-h, which is nothing but ali infamed condition of the mucous sur faces.
