What is Eczema 2

1t is an agony of agonieS.
A torture of tortures.
1t is an itching and burning of the
skin almost beyond endurance.
1t is thousands of pin-headed ves-
icles filled with an acrid fluid, ever
forming, ever bursting, ever flowing
upon the raw excoriated skin.
No part of the human skin is
exempt.
1t tortures, disfgures and humil-
iates more than all other skin diseases
combined.
Tender babies are among its most
numerous victims.
They are often born with it.
Sleep and rest are out of the
question.
Most remedies and the best ply
sicians generally fail, even to relieve.
If CUTICURA did no more than
cure Eczema, it would be entitled to
the gratitude of mankind.
1t not only cures but
A single application is often suffl-
cient to afford instant relief, permit
rest and sleep, and point to speedy
cure.
CUTIcURA works wonders because
it is the most wonderful skin cure of
modern times.

A Calf With no Eyes.
From the Wilkesboro Chronicle.)

AS usual Wilkes comes forward with
another PRODIGY, in the shape of a
young calf which was borD without
eyes, or any sign thereof. 1t belongs
to T. B. Campbell, Esq, of Glass, this
county. Although without eyes, or
the sign OF any, the calf seems to en-
Joy good health and is apparently
happy. However the calf seems to
have some hidden hope that there is,
somewhere, some elixir which will
give him his eye-sight, something like
the hope which spurred Ponce De
Leon to seek for the "Spring OF
Youth" in Florida. And when the
calf hears the mention of the Brushy
Mountain Springs, it is said his count
enance. brightenes and assumes a
pleading look. He will no doubt be
allowed to bath in this healing pool.

An Amusing Situation.

From the Washington Star.
The Senatorial situation in North
Carolina has become amusing. Some
Of Senator Ransom's friends begin to
in ,ist that Senator Vance should re-
sign on account Of his alleged inabili-
~ to perform his official duties.
Some of Vance's retorted that Ran
som ought to withdraw from the con-
test for reelection because his alleged
unpopularity would endanger the sue
cess Of the entire Democratic ticket
in case he remained in the field. The
friends of Josephus Daniels and other
young politicians say that Vance
ought to resign and Ransom withdraw
SO as to give new field all round anG
restore harmony. Ransom's time ex
pires next March and Vance's two
years later.

Interesting Revolutionary Incident
From the Greensboro Record

Elias Lashment grandfather, on
his mothers side, of j. w. Aispaugh,
was shot in the thigh at Guilford
Court House, and carried the ball to
his death; he also received saber cut
in the head. He was left for dead.
An English soldier supposing he was
dead was about to take off his buck
skin breeches when an English officer
came along and cursed the soldier and
told him to let dead mans breeches
alone.
Lashment afterward crawled to a
widow Weman's house where he was
nursed tenderly and recovered. He
lived to be 96 years old and died in
Forsyth county, about I miles South
of Salem, now known as the Lash
ment place near Muddy Fork postoffice.
Ia died about 1850.
Rev. John Alspaugh, of the Metho-
dist church, married Elizabeth Lash
ment, daughter of Elias Lashment.
From the wounds it would indicate
that this gallant soldier was one of
Winston's rlflemen from Stokes. Shot
with Hessian ball and the saber cut
was received from Tarleton's cavalry.

How Preacher Lost His Warts.

rom Inc CO0t otdnudTu.1
Lots of people believe in signs and
using. It would be right amusing to
get up list of the signs ETC.. but we
will content ourselves with the SUBJ
ject of warts.
There is minister residing in Ca
barrus county who tried many rene
dies and succeeded at last. 1St he cut
as many notches on stick as he had
warts ISL and buried the stick under
his house-no good End, he bored an
inch hole into white oak tree, washed
his hands with dish-rag, stuffed it
into the hole and then plugged it-no
good. 3rd, he counted out 81 grains
Of strawberry corn, representing the
number Of warts, tied up in paper
and dropped the bundle in the road
The warts disappeared.
It is not known whether the finder
Of the package got the minister
warts or not.

Her husband at once circulated a
report to the effect that his wife had
shot herself with pistol, for what
purpose he did not know.
Mrs. Roach was found lying on the
floor with a wound in her head, evil
IDENTIFY inflicted with pistol ball.
AS the relations between Mr.. and
Mrs. Broach were not amicable, sus-
picion at once arose among the neigh
bors that the husband fired the fatal
ball, and was therefore guilty of muir
der. He was at once arrested on the
charge Of killing his wife.

A little f1ve-year-old son Of bIr. Al
fred Nixon, of Floyd county, Va.
died on Wednesday morning March

brandy drank the morning before.
The little fellow went TO the press in

it is supposed drank deeply of it as he
soon relapsed into stupor, from
which he was never fully aroused.
The physician was not sent for until
twelve hours after the deadly draught
was taken, when it was too late for
any remedy to be available. The poor
boy, though not seeming to pe con
scious, a short while before he died
recovered somewhat from the profound
stupor he had been in for thirty-six
hours, and appeared to suffer great
agony before death came to his relief.
Mr.. Nixon, the father, is distilier,

The Poultry World, who explains that
there are fewer Rose Comb Brown Leg
horns than Single Comb Brown Leg
horns simply because they have been bred
fewer years. The Rose Comb Leghorns
We're shown at nearly every show the past
season from Massachusetts TO Califor-
MIA. They are bred to as high point
Of excellence as the Single Comb Leg
horns and are their equal in laying quail
ties and SIZE In fact, there is no differ
ence save in comb The rose comb will
not freeze with anything like half pro
lection, while q single comb male will
lose his comb in q fairly built poultry
house in severe weather.
One advantage Of the Leghorn over
other small breeds is that the young can
be reared with a great degree of Ger
tainty. Give them freedom where plenty
of insects can be had, or supply them
with meat in their feed, and they are
soon covered with feathers, growing
right up TO maturity and profit Do not
confine old or young and withhold Il
generous feed containing meat and bone
and expect perfect chicks either in size
or feather. If any breed is undcrfed,
the feathers have u dull look, and in
Brown Lcghorns white is much more
liable to appear.

There is more call than ever this year
for cheap and serviceable machine for

1t is reported that tho price Of hops
for some years to come is likely to rule
low on account of the great increase in
production in California, Oregon and

A device that is coming into use is
the detachable wide steel tire for farm
wagons This detachable tire is designed
to give the farmer wide or narrow tire
as tho work demands, without the extra
cost of an additional wagon
The Australian estimate is that from
that country's recent harvest nearly IS,

Cultural Notes on Potatoes.

At the Maryland station, in test last
season of three leading varieties of po
tatoes, the Queen yielded 90 bushels,
the Beauty Of Hebron 90 bushels and
the Freeman So bushels per acre Hill
ing culture gave practically the same
returns as fiat culture for potatoes. Sub
soiling for potatoes was apparently a
disadvantage. Treating potato seed with
corrosive sublimatc proved effective in
preventing scab on potatoes. Potatoes
that were allowed to remain in the
ground after they were ready to dig
were not moro affected with tho scab
than those that were harvested as soon
as ripe Spraying with bordeaux mix
ture prevented blight and increased the
crop 4i per cent Early spraying gave
better results than late spraying
