THE wheat in the ground never looked better in this county than at present, being green and quite healthy in appearance. The promise is for a very good crop.

Enrich the ground aud sow more wheat should be the coming motto of our farmers.

TORNADOES are holding high car nival in the West and Southwest. Arkansas, Missouri and Kansas seem to l>e particularly afflicted, and Missis sippi came in for its share. Several lives were lost at Macon, in that State, and a large amount of property was destroyed. If tornadoes must get loose in Mississippi they would gain | the esteem of the public by devoting ; their attentions exclusively to Kemper | and Yazoo counties.

Many a poor man, if required .to ac count for the manner in which he has expended his income, would find bills of his family physicion for "medical services" among the leading items. In seven cases out of ten, acute disea ses are the result of some neglected chronic disease. Thus, fevers invaria bly results from diseased conditions of the blood and liver, and a timely use of alterative, or blood-purifying, and cathartic remedies would have averted the prostrating illness, that often leaves the system irreparably injured. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medican Discovery and Pleasant Purgative Pellets are the best alterative and cathartic medicines yet compounded. Full directions are given for administering them, together with an accurate description of the symptoms demanding their use.
