Baseball.

Those who are interested in baseball
will be glad to hear that game has
been arranged between Culleoka and
Columbia, to be played sometime in
August. Columbia has clearly shown
thai she is able to put out team that
can interest the best of them, and as
Culleoka has an unusually strong team,
an interesting and exciting game is ex-
pected. Robinson, who was hit safely
at least dozen times when Chapel
n i'll played here, will occupy the box
for Culleoka, while Columbia has not
decided who will officiate in that
capacity for her. Columbia has won
every game she has played this year,
while CulleokA has been defeated only
by the strong Mooney School team.
The game will be awaited with interest
by the lovers Of the sport in Columbia

OVER TWO MILLION DOLLARS
Increase in the Taxable Wealth Of
Maury County in One Year.

The report of the Board of Equalizers
has been looked forward to with more
than usual interest this year, it being
known that some of the lands of Maury
County would be materially raised in
assessed value. OF course there was
great deal of kicking; but it is safe to say
that none of the kickers would sell their
lands at the price they are taxed at, In
fact, it Maury county was put up TO the
highest bidder 1t would sell for twice as
much as its aggregate assessments
show.

THE CHORISTERS.

There's a little band of singers
Every evening comes and fingers
Meath the window of my cottage in the
trees:
And with dark they raise their
voices.
While the gathering night rejoices,
And the leaves join in the chorus with
the breeze.
Then the twinkling stars come out
To enjoy the merry rout,
And the squirrels range themselves
upon a log;
And the firef1ies furnish light,
That they read their notes Alright
The katydid, the cricket, and the fog.
At night I hear them singing;
Through my head their tunes are
ringing
Strains Of music straight from Mother
Natures heart;
Now the katydid and cricket,
From the deep of yonder thicket;
Then the croaking frog off yonder
drones his part.
By and by the moon appears,
AS the midnight hour nears,
And her smiles dispel the low ring mist
and fog;
Then the mirth is at it's height,
And they glorify the night
The katydid, the cricket, and the frog.

And spread the roof above them,-ere

The lofty vault, to gather and roll back
The sound of anthems,-in the dark

Amidst the cool and silence, he knelt
down
And offered to the mightiest solemn
thanks
And applications Let me then, at
least
Here in the shadow of this aged wood,
Offer one hymn-thrice happy, if it
Acceptance in his ear,

Hath reared these venerable columns;

Upon the naked earth, and, forwith,

To grow peanuts successfully re-
uuires a calcareous soil without much
lime, and under such conditions the
yield runs from 80 to 40 bushels per
acre. There is about 20 peanuts
factories in America and the capital
for starting a mill is small. One
factory handles five tons Of peanuts
daily, producing 235 gallons of refined
oil, ITS gallons of crude oil, $3.50 pounds
of our and meal and $500 pounds of
stock food An extensive grower does
not take the trouble to separate pea
nuts from the vines and dirt when he
has dug his crop, but sends everything
mill, vines, dirt and all, and are then
placed into a hopper and fed out upon
revolving slat-table, the Stats resting
upon canvas, from which negro women
pick out those Of the first grade which
are known as fancy" The selected
nuts are fed from the table into chutes
and then into bags. The remainder
are run over a second revolving Stat
table, fed into chutes and packed into
bags labeled extras" Four grades
are sorted, the first three being sold

TONERS for making burnt almonds and
cheap candies America does a heavy
export business to Europe in peanuts.
Foreigners do not eat them as Ameri-
cans do, but grind them into meal.
They also make oil. The nuts are
very rich in oil, 40 per cent of the she'll
ed nuts being oil. After the oil is ex-
tracted the cake which remains ia sold
for $50 ton in Germany and fed to
cattle and sheep. Peanut butter is one
of the latest uses of peanut. 1t is made
by grinding the nuts very fine and re-
ducing the mass to pasty substance,
a portion at least of the oil being re-
moved. Salt is added as havoring.-

A COMING VOLUME.
Matter Wanted for ''Recollections of
Early Wisconsin Days"

S. D. Carpenter, author of the Cause
| of the War, isues an appeal to early
residents for contributions of per-
sonal "reminiscences and historical
facts, worthy of perpetuity, giving
plainly written names, incidents, dates,
facts, etc. Address the author at Mad
ison, Wis. The author greets the press
of the state with all the homage and
affection of a poor relation, suggest
ing that the venture is more a labor OF
love than hope of gain; and that the
press may, without embarrassment,
aid the work, in sundry ways which
will be met with many thanks" Con-
tinuing Mr.. Carpenter says: Hap
pening to be in Washington at the
close of the session that closed the last
term of the late Hon. Philetus Sawyer,
the author was importuned to under
take this work; but at that time it
was impossible to comply, but con-
ditional promise was given, and the
present moment is embraced to initiate
the work which is undertaken, not
without misgivings, by the author of
his ability to do strict justice to the
subject. For the first time in a long
and busy life the author finds rift
in the cloud of personal activity and
for the first time he has been able to
bluff his proverbial modesty and to
undertake work, hallowed by a mill
lion memories -enshrined in the god
head of fortuity, and that ought to
have been grasped and cOnsummated
by far greater minds long ago. But
in spite Of adverse winds the author
has concluded to weigh anchor and
to test the voyage for whatever fort
une may betide. Necessity defies all
laws of conventiOnality, and much
will depend on the good graces of the
old pioneers who may have escaped
the sickle of time in responding to
inquiries that may reach them for
recollections of events and happenings
not to be found in indexed tones, the
faithful object being to collect and
preserve such data in the lives, not
only Of the living men and women of
prominent repute, but of those who are
beyond the reach of postal commune
cation-the friends and relatives of
those absent or present who may have
enriched the domes of recollection,
where memory dwells in the store
house of intellectual wealth, which, to
give away, but enhances it's value.
While the sad and solemn, if peril
nent, should not be overlooked in the
record Of facts the more joyous
themes and jolly souls whose very
presence were wont to cover as with
mantle of joy, the sad and gloomy an
fortunates:
Every message to manly book or
magazine,
Should paint the lilly of hope, like
sunrise sheen:
Be just to the dead-to the living ever
true;
Bring the bright side of life into con
slant review

SPRING AT LOST CREEK.

This wee sonnet to spring appears in
'''The Lost Creek Lyre' over the sigma
ture of the poetess-laureate OF the
camp, Miss Popsie Dusenberry:
THE merry days of spring have come,
King Lear hath onward went,
And Sunshine in a silvery fame
Heats up the Armament.
The birds, in plumage glad and bright
For crumbs at back doors begs.
And happy hens are getting quite
Prolific with their eggs,
And bees, new mated, softly Groom
Upon their annual honeymoon.

LET THE DREAM PASS.

Life hath it's burdens
Bitter, alas!
Still we can bear this:
Let the dream pass!
Vanishing ever
The sands in the glass;
Time will not linger:
Let the dream pass
Why, IN the shadow
Why, in the CLEAN,
Should we sit signing
Over a dream?
Phantoms pursuing
Vainly, alas!
Deeds for the doing!
Let the dream pass!
Ever and ever
Some flaw in the strain
Never-oh, never
The old dreams again!
Life-Hghts are dying
Night comes alas!
Heart, cease the signing
Let the dream pass!

MAGNITUDE OF PEANUT CROP.
How the Nuts are Grown and Utilized

How the Nuts are Grown and Utilized.
The peanut crop Of 1899 is nearly
100000 bushels heavier than the crop
Of the preceding year. The total crop
will, it is thought, reach nearly $780,
900 bushels or % pounds each. The
bulk Of the crop is produced in
Tennessee, Virginia and North Caro-
lima. 1t is not generally known that
the American yield constitutes but a
small proportion of the peanut crop of
the world; the expectation from Africa
and India to Europe is nearly 100000
900 pounds annually, half of which goes
to Marseilles to be made into oil. The
running variety is typical American
peanut, says the Evening Post, from
which we derive our information. It's
vines are large, with spreading
branches growing fiat on the ground.
The pods are large and white. There
are many more varieties grown, some
Of them being upright bushes instead
of vines. The so-called Spanish nuts
are used principally by confectioners.
They have small, round kernals, and
are very fine. The crop averages
annually 100000 bags of Ito pounds
each. 1t is only within the last few
years that peanuts have been shelled
by machinery. With the increase of
their production machines have been
taking the place of the old going
methods
