that has been disposed of out of the present crop on the states plantation. The offer for three hundred bales at II cents was for the cotton at the gin on the farm, the purchasers to pay in surance and transportation charges.
 Advices from the convict farm are that good progress is being made in gathering and ginning the cotton. So far about one third of the crop has been made ready for the market. Con- servatively estimated, the yield on the plantation will be 1,5O0 bales. What the state will get for that am ount of cotton of course depends upon the price it is sold for. The crop could be sold now, if it were ready, for about SIP ,000, estimating that there are 1, BOO bales outside of the two hum dred bales already sold, which brought about S10,000. The good crop and the good prices will enable the peniten- tiary board to pay a considerable in stallment on the balance due on the purchase of the convict farm, the cost price being S13O 900, with $50, ,oOC down. The yield of corn and other crops on the farm will make the rev enue from the property, inclusive oi the cotton, exceed $100,00o for the first year the farm has been under state control,

BLOOD HUMOURS
Skin HumOurS, Scalp HumOurS,

COMPLETE TREATMENT, Sl.OO.

In the treatment Of torturing, disfig-
uring, itching, scaly, crusted, pimply,
blotchy and scrofulous humours Of the
skin, scalp and blood, with loss of hair,
Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills have
been wonderfully successful. Even
the most obstinate of constitutional hui
mours, such as bad blood, scrofula, in
herited and contagious humours, with
loss of hair, glandular swellings, ulcer
GUS patches in the throat and mouth,
sore eyes, copper-colored blotches, as
well as boils, carbuncles, scurvy, sites,
ulcers and sores arising from an i'm
pure or impoverished condition of the
blood, yield to the Cuticura Treatment,
when all other remedies and methods
fail.
And greater still, If possible, is the
wonderful record of cures of torturing,
disfguring humours among infants and
children. The suffering which Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment have alleviated
among the young, and the comfort
they have afforded worn-out and wor-
ried parents, have led to their adoption
in countless homes as priceless cura-
tives for the skin and blood. Infantile
and birth humours, milk crust, scall
head, eczema, rashes and every form of
itching, scaly, pimply skin and scalp
humours, with loss of hair, of infancy
and childhood, are speedily, perma-
nently and economically cured when
all other remedies suitable for children,
and even the best physicians, fail.

In view of this new employment
the mind reverts to a famous story
teller of earlier days-not profess
sional-but whose periodical visits to
our little village were hailed with
delight by the children, and the an
nouncement of whose arrival was a
signal for them to gather, almost ere
she had removed bonnet and cloak, to
beg for the entertainment which she
never failed to provide. A short,
stout old lady, with gray hair drawn
smoothly back from somewhat high
forehead, kindly blue eyes that beamed
at us over her spectacles; voice of
peculiarly resonant and impressive
quality the tones of which still linger
in memory, though at the time we
were entirely oblivious to anything
but the wonderful characters she pre-
sented; and whose hands were gen.
orally busy with the glittering knit
ting needles which clicked like casta-
nets, or were held up in one hand
while she shook her forefinger in
warning or waved her right hand to-
ward some far away place she was
describing.
