PeteEinQ Out.

The Carmack campaign in Upton
county gives evidence of slowly pet
ering out. 1t is dying with dry rot.
The big boom with which it was
launched with has dwindled down to
a dead calm. Even the garish dis
play of bunting stretched across the
street some weeks ago to greet the
coming of the rank boltocrat Car
mack, has silently folded itself, like
the tents of the Arab, and has silent
ly stolen away.
Billy Fleming still flies the stars
and stripes over his saloon on that
side and embellishes the front of
his place with a 16 to l and a Uni
ted States flag, but this is all the
display that is left. Headquarters
were opened in the old mayors of
flee, on the east side with a great
flourish. The Upton Record Invi-
ted Democrats to call there and rest
and make themselves at home. w.
Il. Young, the "Mark Hanna" of
the boltocrats, stood smilingly there
to receive them. a book was open
ed to take down the names of all
who wanted to boost the Carmack
campaign. Somehow, Democrats
did not rush up to enroll under the
Carmack banner. In order to make
the number of namesprocured appear
respectable a system of ''padding"
was adopted, by which some names
were duplicated sometimes more
than twice. For instance, on one
page was Col. Upton, on another
J. NJ. Upton and on a third Col. j.
NJ. Upton. Some ''kids" were kind
enough to furnish their names and
sit abont the headquarters a little to
give it the appearance of life. But
all these devices couldn't make the
thing 90. Mark Hanua Young got
lonesome and lost his smile, Prob
ably contributions came III slowly.
Carmack shOuters hadn't much conf
dence in and perhaps much love for
their champion, and had nothing to
give his cause but wind, and head
quarters couldn't be run on wind.
So Mr.. Young closed the books and
stepped out of headquarters employ
ment and for the past two weeks has
been serving his county as a jury
man. Mr.. Young is a sensible man
and a good juror. That business is
more congenial to him-at least his
pay for services there is secure.
Carmack headquarters are silent
and dreary as a graveyard. 1t is a
pity that the many persons who came
to town on the Records former in
vitation had to rest on the street du
ring court or find a place for them
selves. Doubtless a desperate effort
will yet be made to revive Carmack's
dropping cause, but he is a doomed
man. Carmack is beaten. --COving-
ton Leader.

Report of the Hickory Valley
SobO0I

For the month ending October
%, 1896, the number of pupils en-
rolled in the Grammar department
was 26 and in the primary depart
ment "a, total of so, with % per
cent in attendance. Those on the
roll of honor were, in the Grammar
department: Roberta McAnulty,
Lou McAnulty, Willie McAnulty,
Will May, Mary Woodson, David
Woods and William Harris. In
the primary department: Annie
McAnulty, Norma McAnulty, Inez
Woodson. Morgan May and Hill
Richardson. Those tardy were:
Arthur McKinnie, Mamie Avent,
Alice Avent, Alice Brown and
Hundley May,
We heard several of our patrons
say, during the month, that they
had never seen pupils behave better
in going to and coming from school
and that they had never seen pupils
more earnestly interested in their
work than are those who are now
attending. We feel proud of the
compliment paid our pupils; yet we
believe they honestly earned it and
Justly deserved it. With very few,
if any exceptions, during the month
just passed, a ready willingness to
obey and a commendable desire 10
learn seem to have been the domi-
nant ideas in the minds of all. The
punctuality and attendance deserve
special mention; and we hope to
see tardies and absences reduced to
a minimum. The majority of the
pupils appreciate the fact that they
cannot retain their class rank or ac-
complish any real good if they are
absent only day or two in each
week. The patrons are therefore
urged, having enrolled their chill

A LAW which has been il

A LAW which has been in
strumenta, in swelling the
school fund of this state, is
that requiring the pay
ment of the poll tax be-
fore voting. Notwith-
standing this benefcient re-
suit, it is thorn in the flesh
of the republican party, and
it stands committed to its
repeal. The BULLETIN be-
lieves that the existence OF
that law is dependent upon
democratic ascendency, and
if this be true, thousands of
parents in this state who have
children to educate should
be interested IN the success

Valued Religious Relics.

The collection Of religious relics to
be seen in the church Of the Corsican
village Of Siseo is undoubtedly unique.
The inhabitants Of this pretty little
place are exceedingly devout and very
simple, which probably accounts for the
possession OF such a remarkable collec-
ton. A writer in L Independence Beige
gives the following list Of the principal
items:
The horn used by Moses to call to
gether the children Of Israel while in
the desert; a tuft Of that red hair which
was the pride Of Esau and the despair
of Jacob; a piece Ct the nail Of the lit
tie toe Of the left foot-the statement
is very precise-of Enoch, the patriarch;

It il : Common way of speaking q

almost vslreless for the purposes Of cul-
tivation. This condition Of ~barrenness

as the view Of those SO ready to condemn
the sell. In the early days Of mining in
California the inpatient gold seekers,
with rude apparatus and primitive
methods, collected such quantities Of
the precious metal as came easily to
hand ard fcrsook their claims, leaving
behind in the earth far more gold than
they carried away. In after years others
skilltul have gathered abundant
wealth from these fcrsafen fields. Some
thing Of the same nature Will yet be &C

New England soil roy lightly valued.
An acre of sell, going down q foot
deep, contains approximately :, 700 tons
IN its 40, COO or Eore cubic feet, or
about l24 pounds t the cubic foot.
Chemical analysis demonstrates that
this quantity of surface earth, in an or
binary average sell. contains about
!, 900 pounds Of phcsphoric acid. 5000
pounds of potash and 16. 900 pounds Of
nitrogen. These ingredients, If pur-
chased at usual market prices, might
cost 4 cents o pound for the potash, Z
cents for the phosphoric acid, 16 cents
for the nitrogen. AT these rates, the
aggregate value Of these three substances

in depth, wculd be 50, GOO. As tie gold
held in quartz was beyond the reach Of
the unsiiiled miner, the fabulous wealth
OF the soil is largely unavailable to the
unskilled farmer. But the treasure is
there, to be secured by the farmer Of

backs Of cattle, and SO affording the ami
mails relief and comfort, has been in
vented by a farmer in Madison county,
Ky. The fycatcher is a kind of covered
pen CT passageway through which the
animal must walk to secure relief. A
few feet from the entrance there is a
cupola Or dome in the roof Of the pas
sageway, made of glass and arranged
as G fytrap. Beyond this the passage
is darkness. The animal walks through
the machine, and just IS it passes under
the dome and enters the darkened part
a set of brushes sweeps off the flies,
which naturally rise into the lighted
dome, and the steer passes out at the
other side free Of flies. The flies are
retained in the dome trap. The in
ventor has experimental with his ma
chine and finds that the animals soon
learn the valEe Of the machine and
knew enough to walk through it when
the flies begin to bite. The device has
