In the Far North.

The story OF American explorers who
have braved the perils of the northern
seas, knowing that almost superhuman
efforts were to be required of them, shows
that they had the same enthusiasm that
characterized and sustained the early dis
coverers. One of the members of the Gree
ly expedition gives an account in Scrib-
ner's Magazine of their sufferings and per-
severance:
Fatigue, thirst. hunger, cold and even
heat at times beset u.s.
Each camp found us physically exhaust
ed We scanted our food, and with envi-
GUS, regretful eyes saw each bit disappear,
since it shortened the length of our possi-
BILE journey northward.
Finally the coveted honor was in sight.
Realizing that this was indeed the ''far.
thest north,' we unfurled the flag of our
country, the glorious stars and stripes"

Tho Mississippi River 90, 900 Years Ago.

Tho Mississippi River 400, 900 Years Ago.
Did you ever figure on what was the
probable condition of the great Mississippi
river 10000, 100000 or even 100000 years
agof Scientists sugges: that the erosion
of its bed was accomplished by mighty
cataract, which began far down the river,
probably at the place where it then emptied
into the gulf, and by gradual retrogression
dug out the valleylike gorge through
which it now flows. That this theory is
tenable may be inferred from the high,
wall-like bluffs, features so characteristic
of the upper part of its course.
A wearing away Of a monster cataract
would of course necessarily leave high
walls or bluffs on either side These are
the well known features of the father of
meanderiDg streams 1t would seem, ac-
cording to this theory, that St. Anthony's
falls constitute the remnant of what was
once the most stupendous cataract in the
world Biologists estimate that it has
taken the river 400, 900 years to carve out
the mighty ditch through which it now
flows--Philadelphia Press.

Another Black Eve.

The Buchanan faction got another
black eye Saturday. The counties Of
Carroll, Obion, Marshall and Benton,
have elected Turney delegates and
only McMinn has elected Buchanan
delegates. Rhea county is reported to
have a delegation standing Turney 10,
Buchanan .. The Buchanan men
have not given up Marshall yet, as
they say the vote in that county was
to be taken direct for the candidates
and they think the report telegraphed
Saturday night was not based on the
full returns. The majority vote will
carry the county as a unit for one candi-
date or the other. There can be no
doubt, however, that the Buchanan
element are badly disappointed and
they fear that it is too true that Mar
shall has gone the way of Obion' and
Carol. At the time this article is
written the Banner has not received
its telegraphic advices from Lewis
burg, bu; a dispatch is expected before
we go to press giving the nnquestioned
result in Marshall county.
The counties OF Carroll, Obion and
Marshall in 1890 gave Buchanan an
aggregate convention yete Of y. Ben
ton county gave its II votes to Taylor
McMinn county gave Buchanan Z
Baxter IL and Patterson 81, and
Rhea county voted Buchanan IL

of the vote Saturday, as reported from

The Line of Lakes.

The above name has been applied
to the Wisconsin Central lines on ac-
count of the large number of lakes
and summer resorts tributary to its
lines. Among some of the we'll
known summer resorts are Fox Lake,
Ill. ; Lake Villa, Ill. Waukesha, Muk
wonago, Cedar Lake, Neenah, Wau-
paca, Fifeld, Butternut and Ashland,
Wis. These lakes abound in numer
GUS species of fish, such as black bass,
rock bass, pickerel, pike, perch, musk
allonge, while sportsmen will find an
abundance OF game, such as ducks,
geese, quail, snipe, etc. In the grand.
u of her scenery, the charming
beauty of her rustic Ian escapes, and
the rare perfection of her summer
climate, the state Of Wisconsin is ac-
knowledged to be without a peer in
the union. Her lame as a refreshing
retreat for the overheated, careworn
inhabitants of the great cities during
the midsummer months, has extended
southwark as far as the Gulf Of Mexico
and eastward to the Atlantic.

The Situation.

Of course it is impossible TO arrive at
an accurate estimate of the status OF
the vote OF the delegations thus far &C.
lected as it is divided between Turuey
and Buchanan. The estimates here
tofore made by the Banner, which we
are glad to say have not pleased either
faction, have been as nearly correct we
believe as could have been made in
view Of the conflicting statements.
The spirit Of unfairness and enmity
characterizes the reports Of the con-
testing factions, and n who under
takes to make an impartial estimate
must make allowances for the preju-
dices which color the claims of either
side.
The vote stands, according to III
estimates, about as follows: Turney,
$40, Buchan, 249. This looks bad for
Buchanan, but it is not a certain au-
curry Of success for Turney. We take
it however that Buchanan chances Of
being nominated are gone unless there
Is some unexpected development of
strength in his favor in the sixty or
more counties yet to be heard from.
A number of these counties were his
strongholds in 1890, and there may
be some surprises yet in store for his
opponents, but there is no doubt that
the outlook now is very discouraging
to the ~Buchananites.
Whether Buchanan can secure suf-
flcient strength to deadlock the con-
vention and compel the nomination OF
O third man is another question OF in
terest. If he has q present strength
OF 24S votes he will require 28S OF the
nearly 1000 remaining votes to pre-
vent his opponent from securing a
two thirds vote. II Turney has already
$40 votes, he Will have to secure 7Ol
OF the less than 1000 remaining votes
to be nominated. Whether it will be
easier for Buchanan to get 28S more
votes or for Turney to get 701 more
votes is the interesting question which
is involved in the action of the sixty
odd counties yet to be heard from.
Meanwhile, in many of the counties
that have selected delegates, there are
contests and heartburnings and bitter
nesses, and the outlook generally is
one which should arouse the greatest
c in the minds of all who wish
10 see the Democracy succeed in Ten

NOTE OF WARNINCI
TO THE PUBLIC:


DWIGHT, H., April 80, 1892.
As a matter of justice to ourselves and to
the reputation of DR.. Leslie E. Keeley's
Double Chloride of Gold remedies. for the
cure OF the liquor, opium, morphine and
tobacco diseases and Neurasthenia. we warn
the public that these remedies are used by
no institution or sanitarium in the United
States except those established by ouI COM
pany under the uniform name of 1.-THE
Kelley Institute"
All others claiming to use our remedies
are frauds and imposters.
We have now sixty Kelley Institutes es-
tablished in various parts of the United
States where the Kelley treatment is adj
ministered and the Kelley remedies sold.
We, however, caution all to examine well
and know that they are dealing with genuine
representatives, authorized by us, before
taking the treatment or purchasing remedies.
The fraudulent establishments use the name
of "Bi-Chloride of Gold" or similar titles.
The newspapers do not discriminate suffi-
GENTLY to know that they are imitators, and
so put down all accidents occurring at such
establishments as being brought about by
the keeley treatment. This is a matter of
much concern to US, hence this warming.
Respectfully yours,
THE LESLIE f. KELLEY co.
Curtis J. Judd, Sec'y and Treas.
The Kelley institute at Greensboro, n. c.,
is the only one in the state, and all repre-
sensations that there is in the state any cure
that is identical with, or the same as, the
Kelley Double Chloride of Gold Cure are
malicious, false, and made for the purpose of
deceiving. We learn with indignant regret
that such claim is being made, and feeling
that if it be hurtful to us it will prove more
disastrous to those who are deceived thereby,
we sound this warning.

TOBACCO TALK.
Rev. Alex Walker Gives His Views on the
Tobacco Market.

Rev. Alex Walker Gives His Views on the
Tobacco Market.
I" One thing worthy of consideration by
all tobacco growers is the subject OF rails
ing tobacco plants In the best and most
economical way. Of curse there are
different opinions as to the best way, and
every man is entitled to his W opinion,
but our opinion is that experience is a
good teacher and we may often learn an
important lesson by the experience of
others. 1t is very evident that many of
our tobacco growers are not graduates in
the school of economy and are not so far
advanced that they may not learn a les
son by the experience of others to their
own profit. Our observation teaches Us
that we may very often gather some very
important information from sources we
would little expect. therefore an inter
change Of views will often prove bene-
fetal to the best informed men in the
land, and the less informed NAV learn
lessons of more Importance from those
who are better posted and have larger ex-
%perience. The question now under con-
sideration is the most economical and
best way 10 raise tobacco plants. Our OBJ
serVatiOn from the experience of others
as well as our own may not be out of
place to speak of just here.
In the first place it is a matter of no
N ~ nnnfIa-nI;o 4Iot ~-,
careful in the selection of suitable soil
and location. The soil should be moist
and well exposed to the sun, the morn
ing sun is preferable and this can be best
selected in a dry time. The next thing
to'be considered is the burning of the
plant bed, and the experience of all will
bear US out in saying the burning should
be done when the land is dry. If you
wish to be successful, and not only so,
there is a great saving of wood and the
preparation is better, the plants grow off
better and remain green longer, and
will stand dry weather much better
than they will if the land is vet when
burnt.
The question then arises when should
this be done? Dur observation and ex-
p~erience both teach US that this should
ne done if possible before the winter
rains set in, say in November or De
cember more frequent than other
wise is the safest time to burn and
prepare your plant beds but never sew
your seed until the month Of February
and resow lightly in the month of March,
by a strict observance If this rule you
will save labor and blood and be sure to
have tobacco plants-provided you give
your plant beds proper attention and
keep them well covered. The covering
Of plant beds is a very important matter
and should not be neglected. The burn
ing of plant land is too often postponed
until the winter rains sob the land and
the planter is of necessity forced to burn
his land when it is too wet, or delay
burning until it is too late to be success
full in raising plants or his plants are
too late to be ~transplanted at the proper
time.
