THE speculators who, last fall ami

prettv severely before they can unload

THE wheat in the ground never
looked better in this county than at

If we had more wheat to sell, nothing
now would more certainly bring
money into this county. Enrich the
ground aud sow more wheat should be
the coming motto of our farmers.

THE great forest fires which recently
devastated large portions of New Jersey
have placed over three hundred families
in an ugly predicament. These families
sustained themselves by picking and
selling teabeiries and whortleberries
(huckleberries). The bushes were des

ers are thus left without an occupation
for a year or more to come. The loss
in this production in a single county
is estimated at $75,000 for the present
season.

the following receipt. "For brown

a little salt and a teaspoonful of soda.
Steam three hours and then brown in
oven." And now as milk is an animal

milk is milk partially decayed, and as
the making of brown bread of it, and rye
flour is quite a bright idea, let us write
a reciept. "For mince pie," one pound

TORNADOES are holding high car

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

I be a graceful act on the part of a young

better to do if it would whisk those

One Way to Economize.
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. They
will not cure all human ills (as some
medicines are advertised to do,) but
they will cure the diseases for which
they are compounded aid recom
mended.
