oBIoN COUNTY COURT.


The quarterly term of Obion
County Court will convene next
Monday, the first of the year 1905.
There will be several matters OF
importance to be considered. In
the first place County Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction will
be elected for two years. The
present incumbent, Mr.. j. M.
Moore, has made q most excellent
officer and his place will be hard
to fill. During his administration
Obion County educational affairs
have moved ahead with more
rapid advance than ever known in
the history of Obion County for
the same space of time. Mr..
Moore has given his entire time
and attention to the work and the
result of his efforts is matter of
public record. His ability and
efficiency have been thoroughly
demonstrated. Besides this is his
first term and everyone knows of
the strength of claim for second
term.
The road matter is leading
question which will appear in
Judge Lawson's recommendations
to the court. He will advise the
court of the fact that in only about
half of the civil districts has there
been any work done on the roads
at all this year, and the idea of
people in county as rich as Obion
having to drag around through the
mud is simply absurd. He will
also suggest that the levees should
be piked. The thousands of dol
lars spent On levees which are al
most impractical and impossible
in winter is simply case of false
economy. The Judge holds that
if the leeees are properly piked
they will be everlasting. In a
conversation the Judge also alluded
to that part of the road to Lake
County leading from Webb's store
to Free Bridges, stating that in
winter seasons it could be made
passable for traffic and all purposes
by digging a foundation and filling
in with gravel from the bluffs
nearby at almost nominal cost,
The Judge very fairly leaves it to
the judgment of the court as to
how the funds should be created
for these improvements, but is
very positive in his convictions
that the improvements should be
made and that the county of Obion
is abundantly able to pay for them
when they are done Systematically,
judiciously aud at regular and
stated intervals.
The Judge will also call atten.
ton of the court to the condition
of affairs at the county asylum for
the poor and recommend a change
of system if necessary. He says
that with ten inmates in the asy-
Inn the expenses have aggregated
about 81, 800 over and above the
profits of the farm for the past
year. He adds, however, that he
has not received the superintend-
ent's last report, which will make
some difference in this, He esti-
mates the cost Of keeping ten in,
mates at $4,000 a year and says
this is entirely too much. Besides
there are other charities which cost
the county over $500. The Judge
recommends some arrangement
which will reduce the cost of keep. |
ing the county's poor.
The Judges ideas all along the
line seem to US to be very sound,
and 10 county like this, especially
at time when the people are in

The News of MouItrie.

Moultrie, Ga, March 20.-An or
ganization has been formed by lead
ing educator and friends OF education
with a view to encoura ging the teach
ers, increasing the attendance al the
rural schools and to induce the va
rious school districts to levy special
taxes for the support of the schools.
Public meetings are being held at
which dinners are served, and speak
ers are supplied by the organization.
A deal was closed to-day by which
NJ. d Allen gets possession of the
patents to a steam washing machine
that was invented about a year ago
by ]. A. Owens of Moultrie. and which
has attracted no little attention. Mr..
Owens comes into possession of the
mercantile business formerly conduct
ed by Mr.. Allen.
The Confederate veterans of Col
quit county held a meeting here yes
terday at which a resolution was pass
ed contributing a liberal sum to the
Gordon monument fund. 1t was de-
cided to observe Memorial Day, and
committees were appointed to arrange
a programme. 1t is probable that a
big basket dinner will be given.
The Georgia Northern Railroad has
let the contract for a handsome pas
senger depot here. 1t will be just

Hog ChCIern.

Farmers. as rule. fail to understand
that this disease is caused by a mi
eroscopic germ or bacillus which is
easily transported from place to place.
though probably never in the air, says
the Practical Farmer. One of the most
common sources of contagion is the
practice of throwing dead bodies of
hogs that die with the disease into
some out of the way place where the
dogs and buzzards at once attack them,
and easily scatter the germs among
well pigs.
In the Southern section of the coun-
try the buzzard is the great carrier
Of infection from the dead bodies of
diseased hogs. But there are other
and little suspected ways in which the
disease may be transferred The germs
may easily be carried on the feet, and
where a neighbor has the disease and
you are free from it. never allow him
TO visit your hog lot, and if he is the
rlght sort of a man he will not want
TO do so. Many states have laws re-
quiring the burying of carcasses of
dead animals, but these laws are poor
ly enforced. If every dead animal was
at once buried deeply and covered
with quick lime the danger of trans
ferring the disease would be greatly
lessened. If the disease is on a stream
above you, keep your pigs away from
tnat stream, for the water will trans
port the germs and many people are
careless enough to throw dead hogs
INTO stream. Keep your premises
clear Of anything that may attract
buzzards II you live in a buzzard coun-
try. for they are the greatest of all
carriers of disease germs. When YOU
nave a hog attacked by the disease do
not take him out and leave the we'll
ones, but take the well ones away from
nim and onto uninfected soil, and do
TINS as fast as another is taken sick.
Taking the sick hogs out and leav-
ing the wen ones where the infection
is will never stop the disease. Clean
up the infected premises and sprinkle
solution OF carbolic acid everywhere.
and whitewash the pig pens and house
with lime and sulphur slaked together.
fou cannot cure hog cholera. but you
can keep it away to a great extent
with proper care

Ascertaining the Vitality of Seed.

To be successful in growing a crop
of any kind, it is necessary, in the first
place. to have good seed. This, how
ever. is often difficult to obtain, says
the Epitomist. Some dealers, alas!
make practice of keeping seed over
from one season to another and, if the
vitality is too low-as is apt to be the
case, since it dimnishes rapidly with
age-may mix fresh seed with it. Too
much emphasis, therefore, cannot be
attached to the importance of purchas-
ing seed from none but reliable firms
But even then it may be deficient in
vitality, due to unfavorable conditions
at the time of harvesting or to imma-
turity. Hence, to be on the safe side,
any seed should be tested before plant
ing. A simple device for the purpose
may be made by covering a small box
with a pane of glass and putting in it
about four inches of fine black dirt.
over the entire surface of this a cloth
should be spread which, having been
dampened with warm water and the
seed sprinkled on it, should be cover
ed with another cloth large enough for
its edges to extend up the sides of the
box nearly three inches. This should
also be thoroughly dampened, and COW
cred with an inch of soil that will not
crust. The affair should then be kept
in room having a warm, even tenn
perature, until it is time for the seeds
to be well sprouted. Or, as described
in previous numbers of the Epitomist,
they may be placed be ween two lay
ers of thick fannel-i1 thin, there
should be several layers-which have
been cut out in circular form some
what smaller than two earthen plates
of the same size and moistened with
all the water that they will absorb.
Laid( then, on one plate and covered
with the other, all that is required is
to keep them in a warm room where
the temperature does not fall to freez-
ing during the night, and then flannel
is not permitted to become dry. If the
seeds are very small, however. it may
be necessary to provide for the circu-
lation of air by placing bits of wood
between the layers of flannel among
them. Forced in this way, the ma
jority of garden seeds should germi-
nate within a few days after the first
sprout appears. If not, ii indicates
that their vitality is low, though this
may not apply to seeds of the carrot
family and of certain melons, which
would probably germinate more read
lily i'm the ground. When the seeds,
numbering from so to 100 of each va
riety procured. have sprouted suffi-
ciently to show the amount of differ
ence there is between the good and the
poor ones, the percentage likely to
grow. under favorable conditions, in
the ground can be pretty nearly deter
mined.

The advantage OF a mule over a
horse is he can be taught TO turn

down of vegetables or other plants.
He can go in rougher places. As moi
