Let Your Hens Sit,

The best results are obtained from
hens that arc allowed to sit than when
they arc prevented from incubating.
When the hen goes to her nest to sit,
she does SO for the purpose of using tho
fat of her boay to impart heat to the
eggs, and as she seldom leaves tho nest
to feed she becomes reduced il flesh by
the time the eggs arc hatched. She also.
secures rest and recuperates. AS rule,
a sitting hen is nearly always fat, ana
to prevent her from sitting simply keeps
her in q condition unfavora5lo to lay
ing. There are times, however, wAel
no chicks are desired. In such cases let
tho hen 60 to the nest, giving her fe"
porcelain eggs. Do not break her FROM
sitting, as she will soon become broody
again anf. VII lay but few eggs before
going OH the nest the second time, bnt
il kept oa the nest for two or three
weeks and then 'broken up she Will
come eff III excellent condition fer lay
ing and will lay moro eggs than she
woald have done If prevented from sit
ting, including the time lost IL inouba-
tion, and she will net become hroody
until she is in a fat condition again e'"'

JOSH" at the court house last evening,
lamp near the upper door to the hall
exploded 1t was seized by Chas. Por-
ter who tried to carry it down stairs and
out doors, but run against some one on
the stairs and badly burning his hands,
was obliged to drop it. The blazing oil
from the lamp ran through the floor and
set the building on fire. During this
time, not more than two minutes, the
hall WAS quickly cleared Of the immense
crowd and by good luck and careful
management every one escaped without
injury, although at times the people
were inclined to stampede. The mem
hers Of the fire company by the help OF q
great many OF the people present, were
able TO get the fire under control after
hard fight The floor had to DO cut
through nearly the whole length OF tho
hall way, as tae fire bad gained rapid
headwav during the time which elapsed
before water and axes could be secured.
The records and most all OF the valuable
papers were removed from the offices
and carried to different places for safety.
The damage to the court house will
probably reach 1925; while there is some
insurance on the building nothing can
be obtained for loss sustained while u.s.
ing the hall for an entertainment.

was quiet and unchanged; 23s bales were sold for spinning. Today,s features:
 For time this morning the market showed a rising tendency, owing to some unfavorable crop reports, an ad- vance in Liverpool, an estimated reduc- ton in the Texas acreage of Is per cent and covering of shorts. Later on, how ever, southern selling. some reaction in Liverpool and rather more Favorable crop reports from some sections caused a reaction and the market wound up lower for the day. The general outlook for the cotton trade is believed to be very promising, and many look for a consider able rise this summer. One of the firms said: Tt is a simple, mathematical call culation, inasmuch as this crop does not promise to be an average one, and as the average production of lint cotton per acre is less than 1S5 pounds, while a bale of cotton averages about 465 pounds of lint, that the crop is not likely to be un- der such circumstances, more than 1000, 900, but allowing 300, 900 bales for errors in acreage and otherwise, and a maxim yield of 100000 bales will be a conservative one. The south is realizing they are not in the business of cultiyat- ing cotton crops for the sake of their health, and realizing their power by a curtallment of a yield. they propose to have something to say in the future as to the price for which they are willing to part for what they have been raising heretofore with bankruptcy to them selves. This idea has been drilled into them very thoroughly during the past six months, and the fruits of it, we think, will be seen in the coming crop.

HIS IS AElNE AD
For Commissioner FindIey and the BimetaIic
 League.

 League
 Atlanta June 4.-Commissioner w. W. Findley of the Southern States Passen- ger association has announced that cheap rates will be given on all the southern railroad lines to the conven- tion called by the bimetallic league of the state of Tennessee, to be held at Memphis on the 18th and 18th instants.
 The rate allowed will be on the certf- icate plan-one fare and one-third. This means that tickets will be sold at full fare going and 1 cent mile returning from convention, certificate of attend ance being the full requisite to secure the 1 cent rate on the return. In this way it is to be seen that the trip to Memphis and return from various points through out the south will cost no more than cents a mile round trip.
 It will be one of the grandest rallies of business ever assembled. irrespective of party. for the purpose of discussing the financial question of the country.
 The meeting will be composed of all classes of professional and business men and while it is only reasonable to presume that most of the members will be dem ocrats, there will be no party lines drawn and the lgap will be down for men of all parties to come in and participate in the discussion of the great political issues of this day and time.
 The convention will be addressed by Senator Vest, Senator Isham Harris, Hon. MT. Bryan of Nebraska, Hon. J. c. s. Blackburn of Kentucky, Congressman John Allen of Mississippi, Senator Wal thall of Mississippi and Senator Daniel of Virginia and many other distin- guished advocates of silver as money standard from all the states from Vir- ginia to Texas.
 The purposes of this convention are fi1l1u at for~fIa it, hn oia,, tf, issued by the bimetallic league of Ten neSSee.

New ork Harbor.
 New York. June 5.--The departure on her maiden trip of the new American line steamer St. Louis was made the occa- sion for noisy demonstration among the craft in the harbor this morning. A heavy mist hung over the harbor and the St. Louis was compelled to feel her way cautiously down through the narrows. But the fog did not dampen the ardor of the passengers. who hung over the rail and cheeref themselves hoarse.
