Judge Stewart, of Franklin

having a direct bearing on public
sales of real estate. In effect it
means that fictitious bids consti
tute a violation of the law.and the
practice so often resorted to,
know as "puffing," is nothing else
but a fraud. The court holds
that anyone guilty of such bid
ding is a party to the fraud and
can bo held responsible for dam
age sustained by the purchaser.

The Scientific American gives
this receipe, which the world
ought to know: At the first indi
cation of diphtheria in the throat
of a child, make the room close,
then take a tin cup and pour into
it a quantity of tar and turpen
tine, equal parts. Hold the cup
over the fire so as to fill the room
with the fumes. The patient on
inhaling the fumes will cough up
all membraneous matter and the
diphtheria will pass out. The
fumes of the tar and turpentine
loosen the matter in the throat
and afford relief that has battled
the skill of physicians.

Unusual Drought.
The prevailing drought in this
county is becoming a serious
matter. There has not been a
half an inch of rainfall since the
latter part of July, and the water
supply is running short. Streams
are dry, or at least, very low, and
spriugs and wells that were never
known to fail, are dry as a powder
horn.
The farming community is con
fronted by a serious condition of
affairs; grain being stunted and,
in places, practically ruined.
This is particularly true of such
as was sown late. Much of it did
not come up on account of lack of
moisture in the ground and what
did come up has withered, and
acres will have to bo replanted.
The early wheat will not with
stand the dry spell much longer,
farmers say, and they are alarm
ed lest the entire crop for next
year be blighted beyond all hope.

"I procured a box and was entire

by it. Beware of counterfeits.
