In the Granary of North Alabama.

The Journal man made trip to the farms belonging to Blev and Grif Green, in Big Wills valley, yesterday, where are to be found the finest wheat fields in north Alabama. The men were busy harvesting, two buckeye machines were running, cutting and binding, and by the way, these machines are curiosities to those who have never witnessed them work. They are propelled by three mules and cut and bind and cast the wheat off in bundles ready for the shocks. These young men have something like 200 acres in wheat and expect to reap at least 400O bushels. Truly it is as fine wheat as we have ever seen.

Marion County News-

Our friend George N. Stokes reports that he harvested last week 400 dozen bundles of good heavy wheat from ten acres of old land without the use of any fertilizer According to the usual turn out this will yield in the neighborhood of 100 bushels. Of course this is not as good an average per acre as is usual in the regular wheat growing states, but it proves conclusively that the raising of wheat for family consumption will pay in Marion county, and it makes fellow feel so independent to raise his family supplies all at home. MT. Stokes informs us that he has commenced laying by corn, and his crop generally looks fine.

Avoid Cosmetics.

Ladies, shun cosmetics Most ofthe com.
mon preparations contain poisonous chemi-
Gals which exert a dcleterious action on the
skin; and at the best no paint, powder or
wash can supply the natural beauty ola fine
complexion. They are palpable and pal
hlc fraud is an abomination
Pure rain water and good health are essen
tials to healthful skin. The former is
plentiful; the latter can be regained and kept
by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery which purfies the blood, removes
pimples, backheads and ruffness, strengthens
impaired digestion and wards OFT pulmonary
diseases. Without pure blood you cannot
have clear complexion.
"Fidelter," the Boonsboro correspondent
ofthe Hagcrstown Globe writes TO that paper
as follows, under date of Saturday last:
Some months ago reported a remarkable
case that confounds physicians and cannot
be accounted for. 1t was that of Mrs. Brill
at Benevola, who in her usual health, sud-
denly assumed a bright scarlet hue, changing
in few days to light pink. The coloring
substance eXuded through the pores of the
skin, and would yield to q cloth, wiping off
readily, making the cloth as red as blood.
She is now undergoing second visitation Of
the strange affection. The face, with the
exception of the eyes, is a brilliant scarlet
while other portions of the body is a light
pink. A few days ago on one side of her left
limb was perfectly shaped heart and on the
other side the outlines Of man as perfect as
if drawn with n pencil, in bright scarlet
Her first attack made its appearance on Sun
day The present one made its appearance
last Sunday.
Mr.. Ramachandrayya preached in the
morning and lectured in the evening last
Sunday, to large audiences. The subject in
the morning was: II must work the works
of Him that sent me, while it is day" The
subject In the evening was: "India and its
people, A large collection was given him.
The lecture embraced an entertaining dc.
scriptIve of India's geography and meteurol-
Ogy its plants and animals; an exhaustive
dlsquisiton on its religions in their descent
| from monotheism to fetichism and practical
idoatry under Buddhism, closing with an
account of the social condition of the people.
He made the point that successful mission
airy work can only be done by coming into
contactgett,ng in touch, with the people and
that by preaching alone, a century would
not suffice to break down the reserve of the
upper or enlighten the lower classes. This
Mr. Ramachandrayya expects to be able to
do by going out among them In the practice
of medicine: he is now studying at Johns
Hopkins University.

information, the estimates of the electoral
vote as sent out by the two National Com

two parties are not calculated to serve very
satisfactorily, Each party claims majority
of the electoral votes, that ranges from ten
to nearly one hundred. The opportunity
now exists for the clairvoyant to own at least
the seat and two legs of this footstool by
reading the future and investing at the long
