Dwelling Burned.

The dwelling house on the farm OF Mr.,
W W. Padgett, near Port Tobacco Railroad
Station, occupied by Sheriff John W. AlorIt'
tain, was DESTROYED by FIRE on Sunday as
well as portion of the household effects OF
Mr.. Albrittain. The FIRE occurred about noon,
and is supposed to have originated from
spark from chimney dropping on the root
which was old and very dry The hames
had made considerable Roadway, and 1t be-
ing impossible 70 reach the high root they
could not be checked Mr. Albrlttain and
his son, the male jewellers in the house, we're
both absent when the FIRE occurred. The
dwelling was covered by insurance in the
Montgomery Fire Insurance Company OF
Sl400. Mr.. Albrittain lost about one'haIf OF
his household Effects and this loss, too, was
covered by insurance in the same company
There being no other house haollable on the
place, Mr.. Albrittain will be put to much Ia
convenience to find a suitable dwelling place
for the year.

Stick to the Farm.

Many of our young men have deserted
their homes with the false belief that the over
crowded cities will offer abundant opportunl-
ties for success. Those who stick to iheir
country homes by attention and close appilca-
ton are far more certain to succeed. Farm
lands are lying idle while the idle in the cities
are crying for bread
There is good deal of truthin the thought
given utteranee by one of our contemporaries
that one Of the lessons of the late business DIS
tress is that it does not pay the young farm
er to desert his business and crowd int7 the
cities for the purpose of making more money
The stress Of the times has shown clearly that
the farmer, in long run, has the oest busI
ness TO be had. If be understands it, and is
industrious as man must he to meet with
success in trade, or in mechanical lines he is
sure to make living and lay by a little ana
never comes to such distress even in mlsior-
tune as he must suffer in other walks Of life.

Here is a New Swlndle.

The latest swindle that has been prac-
ticed upon farmers is about like this; A man
representing himself as an advance agent for a
show, drives up to a farm house and agrees to
paw the farmer So for the privilege of FASTING
bills on his barn The bargain is made, the
So paid over and the sharper asks the'farmer
to sign receipt for the money. He does so,
and IN a few days finds he has signed a note
for 5000, which third party asks him to pay
H. SAYS he will not, but he does all the same
He can't get out of it. The note is 10 the
hands of an 'iunocent' purchaser, and the
maker of the note can put in no defence

Scratches in Horses.

As many horses are more or less troubled
with scratches at this season of the yenr il is
a matter worthy some attention. The reason
the trouble is more prevalent during the win
ter season, is that most people neglect their
horses when :hev are not at lrk, and the
system gets in an unhealthy condition, and
being allowed to stand in stalls with manure
for bedding, the feet become heated, which
causes inflammation of the skin, and soon
dry and scurvy condition appears. Wash the
affected parts clean with CASTLE soap and warm
soft water, and dry; then use glycerine, eight
ounces, and carbolic acid, one drachm. Mix
well and apply twice day Keep the affect
ed parts thoroughly clean by frequent wash
ings. It is well to give the animal some good
conditioning powder.
