ON the sarly train.
Mr.. George Hooks ia making de-
cided improvements IN his hon.e, near
our exc.l.crt school. An Additional
room, on he rear, and new front and
back porches, are being addcG, which
will make it one OF thu comlnnnit. :

It is surprising that any man will
take risks with rebell'ous digestive
apparatus, but we see il often, end
Just occasionally do tue same thing
ourself, and not only psy hr I.ena'ty,
but fall short of the Bible INJUNCTION.
Happy is he that condemneth not
himself in that thing which he al
loweth." On last Wednesday night we
remained home and kept the boys in
order for the rest to enjoy the supper
given at Ebenezer Church. On their
return . small dish of chicken salad
was in evidence that we are always
remembered by loving hearts. and I'M
prudent as it may seem, we were soon
on the outside of that dish Of salad,
and it then near the midnight hour,
and forgetful, too, that we had unfor-
tunately for us, eaten turnips and
greens for dinner. We will wager
good chaw terbaccer that that salad,
though as fine as ever tempted any
palate, was made out of garden
scratching chicken, for we had not
long entered the realms of sweet
;lumber when there was such a COM
motion raised among our turnips that
we were borne rapidly back through
the vista of years, and visions OF
green apples, and old-fashioned-
pains below the belt-and our dear
old mother with bottle of castor oil
and spirits turpentine, filled our mind,
while our anatomy was made to
writhe with the vivid and unmistaka-
BILE presence of about half dozen
colics. We were like the good old
Dutch farmers used to tell us in West
ETo ni
ther lie, stand, nor set, and for about
four hours we would have given all
we possessed if that chicken had been
back in the coop, and the turnips and
greens in the patch, But we were up
against stubborn proposition, or at
least it was up against us, and had to
be made the best of. under the cir
cumstances, which we did, and finally
got relief with the aid and sugges-
tions of our good wife, and the next
time we deliberately turn chicken
into our turnip patch at that hour of
the night we want somebody to-
trim his toe-nails first SO he can't
scratch. Someone has said that the
American people dig their graves with
their teeth, and the longer we live the
more convinced are we of the truth
fulness of the assertion. Many of the
deaths from reported heart failure are
nothing more than the effects of an
overloaded stomach, which encroach
es upon the heart, and it's only alter
native is to fail to perform it's func-
tion Moral-Don't eat chicken salad
and turnips and green's, and in case
of acute indigestion, or an overloaded
stomach, maintain the dorsal ,decubi-.
