WHAT SHOULD NOT APPEAR IN A NEwsPA-

In the conduct of a first class newspaper,
no advertisements of doubtful character
should appear anywhere In the paper, much
less "at top of column next TO reading mat.

patent medicine advertisements, and certain

will admit that any cure has yet been found
one of the most improbable and most OBJ
iectionable matters In the makeup Of many
newspapers Is the manner In when
great many editors Insert reading
medicines. Often they appear as If the editor
himself had written the notices, and they are
always obtained either from ignorant per-

A Man without Ears.

Ezekiel Eads, who died in Greene county
New York, in the spring of 1885, was sure
ly a fit subject for dime museum, even
though he never descended to that level
Strictly speaking, Eads was in several re
spects a most remarkable creature. He
was born without ears, not even having
apertures where his ears should have been.
His deformity, sad as it was, may be said
to have been partly alleviated by the curl
GUS construction of the inner portion of his
head, which enabled him to hear common
conversation through his mouth
When addressed he would instantly open
his mouth and readily give answers to in
terrogations put to him in an ordinary tone
of voice. But EZekiel's lack of ears was
not his only distinction. He had heavy
crop of black hair spotted with white, the
spots themselves being in the exact shape
of human ears, feet, hands, etc. When he
was quite small baby it was noticed that
his black hair was interspersed with oddly
shaped spots of white, which, however, did
not take on their distinctive shapes until
after he had passed his fifteenth year.
When Mr.. Eads died he left one son, aged
forty-five, whose hair was as black as coal
not a single gray hair being discernible
and another son, thirteen years of age,
whose hair was as gray as that of a man of
seventy, Wheeling CIV. Va.) Register

Making Butter.

question has interested many farm.

ton to the amount of water in the
turnips, but there is no good flavor
for the milk or butter, and no butter
in turnip. We always prefer eat
ing our turnips boiled with pork, ia
taking them in our milk and butter,
just as we would sooner have our
onions with cabbage in preference to
taking them in the milk. The man
who undertakes to run dairy
cows on turnips will soon be out
of market for his butter and milk
and will hardly know the reason
why, because his customers don't
like to tell him there is dead turnip
in his milk. A COW is a machine,
but she can't get blood out of a tur-
nip.
The way to make rich milk and
deliciously favored butter is to feed
on sorghum or nice stalk fodder, a
few ears of boiled corn and wheat

milk when churning to give the but

work the water out, and put one

for a new trial in the case of Haynes,
colOred, charged with committing
rape on a year-old Colored girl
and sentenced for fifteen years in the
penitentiary, and the case goes to the
Supreme court. In the case of Rine-
hart, convicted Of horse stealing, no

In the case of John Bartec, for oh

mainly on the evidence of Mrs.
Dyer. Since the trial several affida-

THE FIRE LIAR.
The Fiend Incarnate Turned
Loose on Paper.
joe Mulhatton Laid in the Shade And
the Milan Romance Put to Shame.

The wild-eyed fiend of the fiery
elements got loose yesterday morn
ing, and thus describes in the Cour-
ier-Journal the little blaze that burnt
out Myers notion store, damaged the
adjacent buildings and destroyed the
old rattle-trop on the square and
Main streets, amounting to some
$4,000 to $4,000 covered by insur-
ance. The following is only about
half of the dispatch, but enough to
show the falsity and RIGHTEOUSNESS
OF the whole publication:
"CLARKsvILLE, TENN, Jan. l.
Especial. The most serious fire
Clarksville has ever felt is now
raging here and the whole town is
threatened. About 2 o'clock this
morning flames were discovered in
a building near the Franklin House,
the leading hotel of the place. There
is no telling how the fire started.
The wind is blowing almost a gale
and the fire spreads with the most
remarkable rapidity.
1.-The guests of the hotel were
aroused and narrowly escaped with
their lives. None Of them had time
to dress and all their valuables were
lost.
LESS than ten minutes after the
fire started the hotel was mass of
flames, and sparks were scattered far
and wide by the wind.
"The towns fire department is in
adequate and is of little avail. The
hotel is situated in the center of the
city, and the business houses on
either side of it quickly caught.
Nashville has been telegraph d
for engines, and has answered that it
will send them at once by special
train.
"Other buildings are catching rap.
idly, and the conhagration now
threatens to destroy the whole town,
unless the wind abates and engines
arrive.
Already there have been burned,
besides the Franklin House, Bloch
Bros, dry goods; McGehee Bros,
hardware, and Kimball q Reynolds
clothing. Several other buildings
have also burned, and others are
burning.
"The GAINESVILLE fire engines have
completely broken down, and at this
hour, 3 O'clock, the only hope of
saving anything is the arrival of help
from Nashville. AT this hour the
loss has passed the hundred thous
and-dollar mark.
