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.

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.

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.— Wt-slern Farm Journal. Excelleut Interest Rules.

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.

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. Lite. US J. Gm Gelt, ».e L*x-1to the ''manor born," identified with Geoi- gia in every particular, he has aerurd her in Congress and on the tented field, has subscribed liberally to all her enterprises, has assisted in build ing up her waist places, has a pure and untarnished record, and cannot be assailed lor any act of commission or oiiiission,uriU to day I would rath ,er stand in n in Geoi political *mun in Georgia Cherokee county should send a delegation to the convention who should not only insist, on his nomi nation but use all honorable meuns 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 have Gen. Gurtrell and u solid uni ted party. Democrat. lion. Rufus E.

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. EDITORIAL RAMBLES Since 18(15 the public debt has boon reduced $1,010,993,378. The Cincinnati exon re i> mists meg with warm welcomes at every town along the roads they travelled. A National Prohibition Reform Convention is to meet in Cleve land, Ohio, on June the 17th., for the purpose of nominating candi dates for President and Vico Pres ident. So says the Southern Tem plar, a temperance journal publish ed at Atlanta. The Griffin N ews says: “Don't; wait for some one to cOine alongr and tell you that it can ho done. Don’t you see it ? If you haven\. got the money yourself, you cart get it. Do like others, “organize.''’ Go to work and accomplish some* lliiug lor your town and ’yourselves too. Stir up things, that’s the only way to keep, alive. If you* can’t do otherwise, draw a little in spiration from your Atlanta neigl»r bore.” The same will resonably apply to Canton. She is laying by wait ing, it seems, for some one to come along and tell her any particular thing can be done. We know it can, what we need is some one to start the ball to rolling. Wliat Buffington, the Crazy Mau, has to say about our Sheriff and Lady Vis itors.
