Having. read of the like before and it's remedy, we procured sharp knife, caught the fowl, parted tht feathers over it's protuberant stomach l and carefully cut through the cuticle Next we made an incision into the craw removed it's hardened contents, replaced the, concrete mass with nice soft dough sewed up the gap and let her go. So fal las, human skill and judgement are con scefned, we are satisfied that heater ane completer job never was done, but th' subject of our first attempt at surger, died almost as soon as she struck tn ground.

What Know About Hardware and
Hard TimeS

The cause of hard times is not short
crops, foods nor drouths, low price of
cotton nor scarcity of money. It is
the habit of the people to live beyond
their income, or in the language Of
political economy, consumption is
ahead of production. 1.-THE man who
earns $4,000 per month and lives
comfortably on same, is advanced to
$4,000 per month, will he save his
increase? Very seldom. He will at
once increase his cost of living. But
if the $4,000 man is reduced to
$4,000, he will go in debt as long as
he has credit, before he will reduce
his cost of living. Laborers who
earn $4,000 per month spend $780,
90. Those who earn 800. spend
$3.50. Farmers spend their crops be-
fore there is seed in the ground,
Merchants whose income is $1,000 a
year manage to live on $500. Cities
whose income is 100000 spend
100000. Railroad Co.'S, who earn
q million year, spend two million.
No one seems to look out for the
"rainy day" which is sure to come
sooner or later. These deficits (be-
tween earnings and expenses) which
appear from the lowest to the highest
strata of society, accumulate until
credit is stretched to the highest ten
sion. A panic is the result. This is
the only remedy, for nothing short
of absolute necessity will teach the
average citizen to live within his in
come. For your hardware go to

messages that congress should legislate
Tor the protection of railroad employees
against the dangers incident to the old
aud inadequate methods OF braking and
coupling which are still i'll use upon

that this congress may take action on the
subject Statistics furnished by the inter

during the year ending June so, 1890, there
were loriy-seven different styles of car
couplers reported to be in use, and that
during the same period there We're : GOT
