Account Of the Prodigies Preceding
Bacon's Rebellion"
EXTRACT FROM AN OLD MANUSCRIPT
written in 1881

EXTRACT FROM AN OLD MANUSCRIPT
written in 1885,
About the year 1875, appeared three
prodigies in that country (Virginla),
which from thu attending disasters
were looked upon as ominous pre-
sages.
The one was large comet every
evening for week, or more at South
west; thirty five degrees high stream
ing like horse tale westwards, until
it reached almost the horison, and
setting towards the Northwest.
Another was, flights of pi gieons in
breadth nigh quarter of the mid
hemisphered of their length was no
visible end; whose weights break down
the limbs of large trees whereon these
rested at nights, of which the ffowlers
shot abundance and eat 'em; this sight
put the old planters under the more
pertentous apprehensions, because the
like was seen Jas they said) in the
year 1910 when thu Indians committed
the last massacre, but not after, until
that present year 1875.
The third strange appearance was
swarms of flies about an inch long,
and big as the top of mans little fin
ger: rising out OF spigot holes in the
earth, which eat the new sprouted
leaves from the tops of the trees with
out harm, and in a month left as.

To Get More Salary.

The last legislature enacted a bill in
creasing the salaries of the county SUI
perintendeEts of schools. The new law,
which becomes effective at the end of
the present school year, is as follows:
"The county superintendent of free
schools shall be person of good moral
character and temperate habits, liter
airy requirements and skill and eXpe-
Renee in the art of teaching.
"The comfy superintendent shall
receive for his services an annual com
pensation as follows: In counties of 100
schools or less $500; in counties of more
than 100 schools, $500, and S. for each
additional school not exceeding twenty :
five: and in counties of more than $50
schools, 81 ,025 and So for each addition
al school, provided, that the salary in
no case shall exceed ST. 200
'sSuch compensation shall be pal d
quarterly upon orders drawn ~ the
county superintendent on the state SUI
perintendent of free schools, who shall
upon Ireceiving the same, draw his
warrant upon the auditor therefor,
payable to the said county superin-
tendent, or to such person as he may
direct. But the payment of the fourth
quarter shall not be made until the
county superintendent has made the
reports to the state superintendent of
free schools required by section % of
this chapter, and every day after the
first of September befyre the receipt of
these reports, the state superi ntendent
shall deduct So from the salary of the
county superintendent unless said re-
pots are delayed by sheriffs or reports

The alary of the county superintend-
ent shall be paid out of the general

A Memphis, Tenn, newspaper gives
good advice to the Civic club of that
city as follows:
"Let each member of your club pledge
himself to look carefully over his own
premises and add some improvement
within one weeks time to his home
surroundings.
"This may take the form of careful
cleaning up of the back yard, or the
burning OF the pile of debris thrown
into the adjacent vacant lot; it may
mean placlnga poi of ferns or geran-
iums on the front porch; it may result
in spading up the flower beds, and
taking up weeds. 1t is the individual
after all on whom the task of civic i'm
provement devolves.
"a man complains that the city is
ugly, yet he has an unsightly plank
walk or dangerously bunny brick
one in front of his house, a high I'M
painted plank fence aTouni his back
yard and miscellaneous collection of
tin cans and kindling wood at his back
door. He asks for, nay demands, that
the health department work day and
night to preserve his family from con-
tagion, yet the weeds on the vacant
lots he owns sway in the breezes and
hoard up enough microbes to start
lively neigbborhood.

A WE'LL KNOWN tsG

One of the Oldest, safest and m est
favorably known remediesin the world
today is Bradreth'.s PiIls--a blood puri-
fer and laxative. Being purely vegeta
be they can be used by old and young
with perfect safety ana while other
remedies require increased doses and
finally stop acting altogether, with
Bradreth's Pills the same dose always
has the same effect no matter how long
they are taken. One or two pills taken
each night for while is the best thing
known for any one troubled with con-
stipation, indigestion, dyspepsia or
any trouble arising from an impure
state of the blood.
Bradreth's Pills have been in use for
over century and sold in every drug
and medicine store, either plain or
sugar-coated.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

There is only enc way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition. hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth

Cattle and Sheep Have Four s,omachs,

Cattle and Sheep Have Four Stomachs.
Cattle and sheep have four stomachs,
while the horse and pig have but one.
The animals that chew the cud are
thus provided with digestive appara-
tus especially fitted to handle coarse
fodder, like hay and straw, and ex-
tract from it as great a share as posi-
bic OF the nutrients contained.
The first stomach is simply large
reservoir into which the partly chewed
fodder passes when swallowed, there
to remains an indefinite period to soak
in the slightly acid liquids until again
brought to the mouth for remastica-
ton.
Even when swallowed the second
time part of the "cudn returns to the
first stomach. By this mechanism a
thorough grinding of the food is as
sured.

Letter to r. A. Thayer.
Oak land, Nd,

Dear Sir: No man is in a position to
influence men with regard to their pro-
perty more than you in that!little room
where they tell you their troubles. Pity,
if you don't know how to keep a house
dry and sound, any sort of structure,
house store factory warehouse shop
barn fence-any sort of fence, except
rail; with paint.
What paint? The paint that takes
least gallons; for paint costs money, and
putting it on costs twice as much as the
paint.
That is short; but that all; it includes
the rest. One paint wears long, another
wears short; but the .one that wears
long is the least-gallons paint; least
gallons means pure and strong; and
most-gallons means adulterated and
weak, besides small gallons.
Paint is one of the biggest interests in
the United States; not the business of
making it; no, the business of paint,
taking care of property. Paint is worth
a great deal more than it costs, and the
best costs least: Devoe.
