NOTICE TO INVENTORS.

There was never time in the histo-
ry OF our country when the demand for
inventions and improvements in the
arts and sciences generally was SO
great as now. The convenlences of
mankind in the factory and workshop,
the household, on the farm, and in o.
fetal life, require continual accessions
to the appurtenances and implements
OF each in order to save labor, time
and expense. The political change in
the administration Of government does
not affect the progress of the American
inventor, who being on the alert, and
ready to perceive the existing def
ciencies, does not permit the affairs of
government to deter him from quickly
conceiying the remedy to overcome
existing discrepancies. Too great care
can not be exercised in choosing q
competent and skillful attorney to pre-
pare and prosecute an application for
patent. Valuable interests have been
lost and destroyed in innumerable in
stances by the employment of incom-
petent counsel, and especially is this
advice applicable to those who adopt
the mo patent, no pay" system. In
ventors who entrust their business to
this class of attorneys do so at immi-
nent risk, as the breadth and strength
of the patent is never considered in
view of quick endeavor to get an al
lowance and obtain the fee then due.

usual places of worship. where we
may recall all that God has done for
us, and where from grateful hearts
our united tribute of praise and song
may reach the throne of grace. Let
the reunion of kindred and social meet
ing OF friends lend cheer and employ
ment to the duty, and let generous gifts
OF charity for the relief of the poor
and needy prove the sincerity of our
thanksgiving.

among them we noticed q large lot OF

Iuka is receiving a larger quantity of
cotton this yaar than usual, if we take
the short crop into consideration. One
reason is, merchants have done more
advertising than usual, and offered in
ducements to purchasers to come and
buy their wares. There is no town
on the Memphis & Charleston Rail
road that has a larger scope of coun-
try to draw from than Iuka, and by
proper enterprise and good business
methods, legitimally used, Iuka can
scoop the business.
Iuka made very narrow escape
from being burned up on Thursday
night of last week. Mr. James Car
penter was moving from the building
on front street where he had been
keeping a boarding house. and some
one had emptied the ashes from the
stove into wooden bucket and left it
sitting on the floor in front of the
stove. and some time in the night the
hot ashes set fire to the bucket and
burned a hole in the floor about two
foot square. AS no one was in the
building the FIRE was not discovered
until next morning.
