Dkak Miss: .thus is an important
epock info your lilt*. The first
thing to make algood qnire singer is
to giggle M little^
Put up vi.ur hgir in cirl papers
every Fiiday nfce soze to have it in
good shape Sunday morning, if
youi dadtiv is rich you can buy some
store Imir. IfhV is very rich buy
some more anti build it up high on
to your head; then git a high priced
bonnet that rum up very high, at
the high part of it, and git a inilli
uer to plant some high grown artu
lishela onto th* highest part of it.
This will help you sing high, as so-
prahuo is the liighest part. When
the tune is giv out don’t pay atten
tion o it, and then giggle. (Jiggle a
good eel. f
^ Whisper to till girl next yon that
Em Jones, whidh sets on the 2d aeet
from the front tdh the left hand side,
has her bunmt with the same color
exact she had last year, and then put
up yefbr book to your face and gig
gle
Object to every tune unless there
:g a solow into it for the soprahno.
Cnff and ham a good eel before you
bvgin to sing.
When you sing a solow shake the
artafishels off your bnnnet, and when
you come to a high tone brace your
self back a little, twist your head to
oiih side und open your mouth the
widest one on that side, shot the eye
on the same side jest a triphle, and
then put in for dear life.
When the preacher gits under bed
wey with his preachiu, write a note
onto the blank Jent into the famtl
part «oi yonr mi ft 8hok. That'S tvha
the blank leaf was made for. Git
sumbody to pass the not<* to sumbody
else, and you wutch them while they
read i', and then giggle.
If anybody talks or luff's in the con
gregashun and the preacher takes no-
ot it, that’s a good chants for you to
giggle, and you ought to giggle a
great, eel. The preacher darsent say
anything to* you, bekuus you are in
t*he quire, and he can't run the meet
in house at both ends without the
quire. If you had a bow before you,
went into the quire give him the mil-
ten—you ought to have sumbody
better now.
Don’t forget to giggle.— Josh Bil-•
ings.
Ttfltinilttmd Notes.
Hkeb—No one should exp el, to
be successful with fives, il unwilling
io attend to them. They will sutr r
Irom neglect just as Boon as any oth
er ms ci, animal otf growing crops
ol grain. If 'here ip not snfllsriein
bloom near tiifin, there will be n<*
honey surplus for tfreir owner; in
such case, phsturage may be provid
«d by cultivating honey-producing
shrubs, trees and plants.
Grass Aimundthe IIoi.sk.—The
contrast between the premises that
slmw. in one case, wood, chips, hi s
of boards, brush, dead.weeds, remains
of old barrels, and rubbish from the
kitchen, and in the other, u nice, well
kept surface of blue 1 grass is very
great, and we advise ♦hose who have
the former in the plade of the latter,
to go straightway, now, before the
pressing duties of spring commence,
and clear off the rubbish, till the
land, and sow freely of blue grass,
at the rate of four or five bushels to
the acre. Blue grass is largely chaff',
hence the lurge amount required.—

ood Advice.
Cut Worms.—Where cut worms
are troublesome in the. fields, a very
old, and at the same time a very good
remedy, i« to entrup f|iem in hofts
made near the plants, or hills, if in
the cornfield. An ol<^ rake handle,
tapered at the end io as to make a
hole five or six inches deep, or more,
will answer very well for this par
pose. In (he morning the worms
that have taken refugethese holes
W sr«*M
handle into them again, anti me trap
is set for the next night. It is always
well in pluntitig to make provisions
for the loss of a stalk or two by cut
worms or other causes, iis it is easier
to J,hin out than to replant.
♦—«
How to Milk.—This may seetn
absurd udvice to offer to farmers,
but onr experience has shown us that
every farmer does not know how to
mi k properly, or, rather, that he does
not always carry out the knowledge
he may nave. In the first place, uev
er allow the hands or udder to be wet
with milk before milking. When
ready to milk, take the pail on the
left arm, and with both hands brush
off every bit of dust and all particles
ol bedding from the cow’s udder. If
the nduer is not readily cleaned in
this way, use a sponge and warm wu-
ter. Milk quickly and allow no un
practiced hand at the cow, unless you
intend to dry the animal. Above
all, milk clean. A very little inat
tention here will soon render a valu
able cowunremunerative in the dairy.
Never make yourself the hero of
vour own si,wry.
Never i, I .ogive a polite anawer
to a civil question.
Never question a servant or child
about Itiuiiiy matters.
XVeVet MBbOCiu^o Will, bad COAjpaUjr.
Have good company or none.
Never appear to notice a scar des
formity or (Meet of .any present.
Salt for Stock.—The value of
salt for stock cannot be overrated. It
is an undoubted fuct that where ani
mals have unrestrained access to salt
at all times many of the diseases to
which they are liable are warded off
and proven ted,by keeping the system
regular. Farm animals, when k-pt
on grass or green succulent feed, nat
urally take moresaltthan when kept
on dry fodder. Salt increases digeg
tion by increasing the flow of the sal
iva, aiding also further by promoting
thirst, and a constant flow of fluids
to assist in dissolving much ol tin
food which otherwise might be only
imperfectly digested. Actual expe
riments carefully conducted have- de
monstrated that where t.wo hogs are
fattened, one fed salt in its food and
.'he other with salt excluded, the one
fed salt food fattened very much fas
t«-r and in several weeks’ less time.
It exceeded in weight by a consider
able proportion the one fed without
salt in its food. Stock should have
free access to salt, and they will only
take whtt is needful; but if they are
left without it lor a long time a sur
feit is often liken which operates in
juriously.
To the water-power owner: The
mill will never grind with the water
that has pasted.

to tii 1m gentleman.
Mr. KimThe time is fast ap
proaching lor the p.-ople of Georgiu
to rrftnit- a mail us our s'unduid bear
er in the coming Gubernatorial race.
We should select a man upon whom
the various elements in the Demo
cratic putty in the State could and
would harmonise upon, it being im
portant as litis year is the Pnatden
tiul election, that they all should
unite upon, a tried and true mun,
one whose pust history is above sus
picion, and one who is no way con
nected with the misfortunes that
have been so unjustly saddled upon
the Democratic party because u few
have been irrev#r«mt to the truBt.
We think no one *hai been mention
ed in connection with the position
who would so fully hatmonize the
party and lead it to victory, as Gen.

be assailed lor any act of commission

should not only insist, on his nomi

to secure it. He bus been our l'rieud
when in trouble, subscribed to our
railroad, assisted our citizens out of
revenue troubles without fee or re
ward, and it would be ungrateful in
us not to remember these things. He
would get the undivided support of
the so culled Independents iu North
Georgia, in fact his nominutiou would
be the death knell to anything like
opposition to the organized Demoo
racy. He would organize an era ol
good^feeling in the party. So let us

THE J DLLY MURDER.
One of the most horrible and best
concocted murders that was ever
perpetrated in Georgia, has recently
been brought to light in DeKulb
county. It seems that early in 1877,
Miss Victoria Norris, who was then
living with a Mr. James Jolly, dig
appeared, and upon inquiry, letters
were shown by Mr. Jolly to the ef
fect that she had gone to Decatur,
and lrom thence to Madison, Noth
ing more was thought of the matter
until just recently, when by some
means Jolly taken the idea into his
head that ho would emigrate to Mis
sissippi, he havirg stolen some cot
ton ; a few days before leaving he
"burned a brush heap and in the de*
bns afteswards there wa3 found locks
ind bands belonging to a trunk, and
iome other articles which led some
to believe that they belonged to Miss
Jorris. This gradually worked up
a sensation which resulted in the
UUcik of Jolly now Missio-
sifpi and lodgiog him in jail. Since
bit prpval bo has shown the place
wkere she was buried, and the body
has been unearthed and evidences
gone to prove that it was that
of Miss Norris’ that was lai i there.
This is indeed a moat horn file af-
lair. For no doubt aft.fr debauching
lie spotless virtue of Miss Norris tie
taken her life in order that no tree*
f crime might be elucidated irons
her. Such scoundrels need to have
the most rigid justice met^d out
to them. The gallows is too light.
