AFRICA's NATIONAL GAME.
Il Is Played by All, md May De Seen
Even in America.
From Good Words.

Even In America.
From Good Words.
The game of mancala may be said to be
the national game of Africa. 1t is most
closely associated with that continent. Ii
is found among all the tribes, and is an ev-
idence of the essential unity that underlies
all the African races. Among the Abys-
sinians it is played by all classes, from the
king to the peasant. 1t is the favorite
amusement of the negroes at Benin, on
the west coast. 1t is well known among
the natives of Bombay, in Java, in Ceylon,
in the Maldive Islands and in the Malay
peninsula. In Syria and Palestine cup-
marked stones used in this game are not
infrequently found in old ruins. 1t is play
ed by the Druses with holes made in a
plank of wood, and this is the common
form of the instrument in Jerusalem and
throughout Syria, where it may be seen
continually played in the cafes by the Wis
itors. The children in Egypt, Nubia and
Syria play it in holes excavated in the
ground. and when two travellers meet ON
the way they frequently rest and extern
porize a board of holes dug in the hard
path and proceed to play with the pebbles
they gather on the spot.
In Palestine and Egypt shells are used
In the games that are brought from the
shores Of the Red sea; while In Damascus
pebbles are employed which pilgrims col
lect in a certain valley the way home
from Mecca. Games of hazard are pro-
hibited by the Mahomedan religion. But
mancala is considered game of fate or
skill, and is therefore tolerated; and in all
likelihood it is diffused by the pilgrimages
from Mecca throughout the Mahomedan
world to the utmost limits of Arab culture
1t has even reached TIE new world. The
negroes carried it 20 America from their
old African abodes; and at this day it is a
common amusement among the negroes of
San Domingo. There is a little Syrian col
ony in Washington street, New York
among whom this game may be frequently
seen played on a board with two rows of
holes. with a handful of shells or pebbles
as link with their distant homes

NEW INDUSTRY FOR CRAWFORD
The Crawford County Broom Company
Organized and Commences Operations.

The Crawford County Broom Company is
Organized and Commences Operations.
A new industry under the name of
The Crawford County Broom Co. has
been started, and promises to be a
thriving venture. Messrs. M. A. La
Fountain and r. A. Pence are the pro-
moters of the enterprise.
They have secured from w. w.
Thompson. of Hannibal, New York,
the exclusive right to manufacture and
sell in this and Shelby county the
patented broom called 1.-THE farmers
Broom" which is Mr.. Thompson's in
vention. The article itself is a very in
genious affair. By simple and strong
clasp made of malleable iron the brush
is held in place and whenever it be-
comes worn cut it can easily be re-
placed with fresh broom with only a
few seconds work. With each broom
sold the company gives material for
three renewals Of the brush and also ii
| package OF broom corn seed from which
the owner of the broom can raise broom
corn enough to keep himself suppll-d
with brooms. In case the handle be-
comes broken another. can easily be tit
ted to the broken clasp. The brooms
are sold at one dollar each, material
for three fresh brushes and broom corn
seed being given with each broom,o as
stated above, and also the family right
to the manufacture and use OF the ar
ticle.
There are many other good points
about the invention, among which is
the fact that one can make broom
that will exactly fit his taste and needs
in style, weight, length and stiffness
The invention seems destined to prove
popular and quick selling one. AL
ready a large number of sales have
been made, although the plant has only
been operation little over week.
1t is probable that some ten men will
be employed in the shop and upon the
road as soon as the company's work j.
in full operation. Messrs. La Fountain
and Pence are we'll known in this city
and have the good will of all in theil
new enterprise.

Z. G.. Dunn & Co., sum up the bust
aess for July as follows:
"More business is being done this
year than in any previous July of which
there are records. Payments through
the clearing houses have been SIS per
cent larger than in 1892, the year of the
greatest prosperity heretofore. Con-
sidering that the purchases of nearly
half the people depend on the success
of agriculture, and that the prosperity
of the entire transporting interest is
materially affected by the size of the
corps to be removed, it may be said
with reason that the promise of general
prosperity this year is unusually bright
Corn has little advance in prices ow-
ing TO reports of injury to the crop.
Wheat, on the contrary, dropped about
81 cents, with prospect of further
decline.
Sales of wool show remarkable in
crease in large transactions for which
no prices are named, aggregate at the
three chief markets, 7,039,300 pounds
for the week. The demand for goods
is rather better. The official report OF
iron production for the first half OF
1898 shows an increase of over 100000
tons compared with the previous hall
year, and what is far more important
the consumption in manufactures APP
pears for the half to have exceeded Thu
output.
The failures in the United States TIL,
past week were 225, against 236 las
year,
