UNDER the constitution, the gov
ernOr has authority to appoint sue
cessor to the late Senator Harris,
said successor to hold Office until the
next Legislature elects. For some
time past, Gov. Taylor has express
ed a desire, in fact a determination,
to resign. Some are of the opinion
that he will now carry out this de-
termination, and that his successor,
Speaker Thompson of the senate,
will appoint him (TaylOr) to succeed
Senator Harris. 1t Is a well known
fact that Gov. Taylor has had his
eye on the United States Senate for
several years; but we do not believe
that he will become a party, at this
particular time, to any such politi-
cal movement as the above. We
may be mistaken, but we are inclin-
ed to the belief that Gov. Taylor
will himself appoint Senator Harris
successor. Reasoning from this
standpoint, it is but natural to ex-
pect that he will appoint a free sill
verite. Many pale metal advocates
are already seeking the honor. Our
readers are well aware of the fact
that the BULLETIN is unalterably OPP
posed to the free, unlimited and in
dependent coinage of silver at the
ratio of l6 to /; but, if the mantle
of Senator Harris is to fall upon a
free silverite, we know of no man
more worthy to wear it than our
honored fellow citizen, Captain Al
bert T. McNeal. Capt. McNeal is
not an applicant for the position.
In truth, he has never sought polit-
ical preferment; he is content to |

the South are as one, and both are

The war ended the difference be-

not change the result if they could.
"Force can not change right, but

Southern men bought slaves, who

was easy, therefore, for such peo-

The Confederate Soldier.

"The Confederate reunion at
Nashville was one of the most re-
markable ever witnessed. What
a grand parade of veterans, what a
glorious spectacle to see ten thous-
and ex-eonfederates marching with
the stars and bars and the stars and
stripes at their head! In no other
country on earth could such a sight
be presented. Proud of the princi-
pie for which they contended and
honoring and revering the cause for
which they fought, the ex-CoRfede-
rates challenge the respect and win
the confidence of their fellow count
ryman against whom they strOve in
battle.
'|There are no victors and no van
pushed. All have become recon
ciled. The true men North honor
the Confederate soldiers because he
fought for what he believed to be
right, and because the men who fol-
lowed Lee and Jackson and John
ston exhibit highest patriotism and
the sublimest courage that the
world has ever witnessed.
"Judge Reagan, in his splendid
address before the Confederate sur
vivOrs at Nashville, tells this great
truth: To-day the people of the
South are as earnest in their attach
ment to- our common Government
as those of any part of the union,
and would make as great sacrifices
if need be in defense of the Govern
ment as could be made by any other
part of the American people. >

Crop Report.

In West Tennessee light showers
are reported-not sufficient to arrest
the rapid decline in conditions, and
the prospects are any thing but fiat
tering for growing crops. Cotton
alone has, thus far, held its own I'M
der adverse conditions, but even
this crop is beginning to show the
effects of the severe drouth in some
places by shedding forms. The
crop has been well cultivated,
which is also the case with corn,
and a good rain is only needed to
restore these crops-with others
to healthy condition of growth.

A preacher being called to a new
congregation, desired to perform
some miracle to show the goodness
of the Lord in answering prayers,
says the Greenfield Times. He
hired little darkey and placed him
in a room over the parlor. in which
there was a trap=sdoor. He then
gave the boy dove and told him
to listen, and when the minister
prayed for the Lord to send his
spirit down, the boy should. drop
the dove. Next day the parson had
some callers and kneeled down
under the trap door to pray. In
winding up he asked the Lord to
pour out his spirit upon them, but
the spirit didn't pour. He prayed
again. Then the darkey stuck his
head down and said: 'FParson, the
cat got the dove, but I've got the
cat; will the cat do?"

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Fowls allowed to roost in trees at this
time are liable to Group.
Generally ON the farm medium-sized
breeds will give the best returns.
In mating the breeding fowls, select
the hardest, most perfect specimens.
Whitewash is better than paint on the
inside of the poultry house and costs
less.
Feed alternately with wheat, bran and
oats. These make good egg producing
food.
Boiled potatoes mixed with scalded
cornmeal makes splendid fattening
rntion.
When eggs are to be kept, care should
be taken to turn them half over every
few days.
One of the secrets of producing in
winter is warm, dry quarters for the
laying hens.
There is less risk of disease with
ducks than with any other kind Of
fowls. They are easily kept healthy

FARM IMPLEMENTS.
II Given Decent Care They VIII Last
Great Many Years. :

Great Many Years.
Every farmer in this country has a
certain amount of his capital invested
in farm implements. 1t is not an un-
common occurrence to meet men who
say that the outlay each year for new
implements eats up nearly all the
profits in their business. This eXpendi-
ture may be materially reduced, says
Farmers Advocate, by giving better at
tention to repairing and housing all
the machinery as soon as convenient
after the busy season is over. On many
well-regulpted farms it is customary to
put the implements under cover
throughout the summer when not in
use. BY this means the implements will
wear much longer and do more salts
factory work. 1t also adds much to the
appearance of farm to have the i'm
plements inside rather than having
each one used to close up hole in the.
fence or perhaps for less suitable pur-
pose. Though it may be the rule on
many farms to put away the harvesting
implements for the winter at this sea-
son, it is the exception to find a farmer
who goes carefully over his machine
and puts it in proper condition for next
seasons work. The person who has
used the implement during the summer
knows exactly what repairs are re-
quired, and unless it is looked after at
once or a note made of it the chances
are that nothing will be done until the
machine is taken out of the shed to be-
gin operations next year. A good plan
is to carry notebook and keep an ac-
| count of all repairing required. Then,
| during the fall or winter season have all
the necessary repairing done. A black
smith or machinist has more time to eX-
anime the work in winter than just be-
fore harvest, when every person is
crowding him with some little job. He
can do the work more satisfactorily,
and the cost will not be so great, In
many cases the repairing can be done
| by the farmer himself, when he has
some leisure time, and thus avoid the
trouble and cost of taking it to a repair
shop. If farmers would pay close at
tention to repairs each year, and give
the implements an occasional coat OF
paint, many would be surprised by the
difference they would find in the work.
ng of the machinery, as well as in time
their implements would wear. Then by
supplying suitable sheds and small
repair shop there would be less discus.
sion about the excessive cost of agri
cultural implements.

ten Light Brahmas weighed seven

weighed 21 pounds and the Leghorns

HEALTH OF THE FLOCK.
How to Tell When There Is DIseas.
Among the Poultry.

How to Tell When There Is Disease
Among the Poultry.
The experienced poultry keeper can
tell at glance whether flock is in a
healthy condition or not. The hen that
is we'll is always alert and on the watch.
She may not be fearful or shy, but she
looks alive and has her head up two or
three times "A minute. Her comb is red
and clean and her feathers are in their
proper position. During moulting time
of course the comb withers and the
plumage becomes ragged, but the hen
does not NOPE if she is well. When
the flock is looking for feed, singing and
talking among themselves they are in
good health.
If you suspect roup, go into the poul-
try house after dark when the fowls are
all settled for the night, and if you do
not hear some of them wheeling there
is no danger of roup.
If the droppings are solid and white
mt one end there is no disease in the
flock
If the movement is slow and sluggish
and the comb is inclined to be purple
color look out for trouble. The hens
may be too fat or they may be bilious
In the one case cut down the feed and
in the other see that they have light
feeding and plenty of good, hard grit.
If young poultry seems to be trying
TO swallow something look for the large
gray lice about their necks.
AS soon as a single fowl begins to
show symptoms of ill-health, remove it
from the flock and keep it at a distance
from the others until you can determine
what the trouble is or it dies or gets
Well.-Farmers' Voice.
