FIVE cents on the bushel here last week,
and the mills now pay so cents. This
is not encouraging, but it might be
worse. A lady who returned from
Illinois last week says that wheat is
selling at SO cents in the section of that
State she visited.
Bristol Courier: Hon. G. G. Collins,
of Elizabethton, was in Bristol yester-
day fixing his fences. He is a candi-
date for attorney general; and swears
by all the bald headed Gods and red
headed Goddesses that if the Democrats
will help him to get the nomination, he

this week, which exhibited when shuck-
ed nearly all the grains popped ready
for eating. Whether it was the heat OF
variety is not stated. Judge E. R.
Scruggs says it reminds him of a field
of popcorn he knew of when he was a
boy. The sun was SO hot it popped all
the ears of corn, which falling upon
the ground covered it like snow. An
old horse that was standing in the field
asleep, was suddenly awakened, and
looking around upon the snowy white
ness, thought it was in the dead of win

The producer of the ear of corn popped
by the sun, looked sorrowful and said
not a word.

THE safest position for Republicans to
occupy, in this emergency, is to stand
on the Republican platform" and this
Mr.. Taylor did in a most clear, forcible
and statesmanlike manner. He main
tanned in a mastery way the clause sci
forth in the platform which says: "The
Republican party demands the use OF
both gold and silver as standard money,
with such restrictions and under such
provisions, to be determined by legis
lation, as will secure the maintenance
OF the parity of values of the two

From the Romans.

"Put your right foot foremost" is a
piece of advice that has been offered to
most folk, young and old, in the course
of their lives. 1t is generally equiva-
lent to saying, "Now's your chance; do
your very best and show what you are
capable Of" Like a great many COM
mon phrases this expression has an old
origin. In the days of ancient Rome,
when people were usually the slaves of
some superstition or other, it was
thought to be unlucl1y to cross the
threshold of a house with the left foot
first. Consequently boy was placed at
the door Of the mansion to remind Wis
itors that they were to put their right
foot foremost. The use of the phrase in
the wider sense soon became obvious

bones, chiefly of necks of mutton, were
taken from between the floor and the

came there was explained by Mr.. Car

rats were wont TO come out of holes in

bones which were flung to them. When
