tons are that they are steps in the right
direction. They tend to awaken among
the farming classes a deeper interest in
things that are OF vast and vital import
ance. The farmers of Perry county should
be congratulated in this move and it is
to be hope that Kentucky counties will
soon be working in the same direction
with the same end in view. 1t is to be
regretted that more farmers were not
present at this Institute than were. The
citizens OF the city OF Cannelton seemed
to take more interest in the proceedings
than did the farmers, for they crowded
the hall both nights.

"THE NosEGAY-Rss," piece Of poetry
that appeared in the News last week is
attracting considerable attention not only
in Cloverport, but abroad, because Of its
excellent qualities, and hundreds Of in
quiries are made every day as to who the
author is. The most surprising. thing Of
it all is that Cloverpot people, forgetting
that some Of the greatest men OF the ma
ton are natives Of this little city, do not
believe that anybody in Cioverport is ca
pable Of writing it, but attribute its
authorship TO a bull with big horns in
some other neighborhood. Now, just to
ease all inquiring minds. we will say that
the author is - beardess youth OF
Cloverport, yet away down in his teens.
There are several persons in Clover
port who will answer to this description,
80 keep on guessing. We are not at lib
erty TO tell you any more.

THE FARMER.

II there is anything in good prices for
farm products the farmers are certainly
getting the benefit Of it this year. Most
everything the farmer raises is command
ing a good price on the market now. Es-
pecially is this true Of tobacco and corn.
The price Of wheat is not so good as il has
been, but tobacco has jumped up to
lively figure. This is good thing for our
country, and il will not only help the far
mer, but other people as well. Tobacco
is a staple commodity with our farmers
and those that have good crops on hand
are getting their own figures. Hogs too
are "out Of sight" and are bringing more
money on the market to-day than they
have before in twenty years. This is
all for the benefit of the farmer, and we
are glad that it is 30. Possibly we may
not hear any more complaints from them
for while. They have raised great
cry in the past few years over hard times,
but il every farmer in our county had
plenty Of tobacco and corn and wheat
there would be flush times here, now.
And why haven't they got it ? Have they
been wasting too much time at public
meetings Of one kind or another Z? This
may be 70 with some, but with others
there may be other good and sufficient
reasons. BE this as it may, the condition
Of things now, and the good prices on
farm products go TO show that there
are times when the farmer can derive a
good income on what he has TO sell, as
men in other pursuits OF life. II he hap
pens 10 be in condition however, in
which he cannot better himself from the
surroundings he ought not to complain.
The point is that the farmer like other
men should make special study Of his
own business. He should be in a condi-
ton TO get the advantage Of good prices
when they come around. He should al
ways have something to sell and not 70
much TO buy, and he would be decidedly
a very Independent citizen.

II is said that once, before the English

party of horse was chasing small body
of Bheel robbers and was fast overtak-
ing them. Suddenly the robbers ran be-
hind rock, or some such obstacle, which
hid them for moment, and when the
soldiers came up the men had mysteri-
ously disappeared. After an unavailing
search, the officer ordered his men 10
dismount beside clump of scorched
and withered trees, and, the day being
very hot, he took off his helmet and hung
it on branch by which he was standing,

their surprise, carrying with them the

piarrhea and digestive Troubles.


The connection between teething and
diarrhea has been considered until OF
recent years as beyond question. But
even this is very doubtful. For our
selves, we should have no difficulty the
oretically in supposing that painful teeth
ing might upset the digestion, just as ia
nervous older children and adults we SEQ
excitement and mental anxiety produce
like results. But actually, the more the
cases are examined the less certain is
the relation of the bowel trouble to the
supposed cause. Here again develop
ments in the digestive organs may have
an influence, and the effect Of heat, either
directly upon the nervous system of the
child or by injuring food, is shown by
the prevalence Of these diseases in sum-
