It. is said that a petition is being circulated to have another “wet” or “dry” election in Whitfield county. Henry Parks, formerly with the Central railroad at Macon, died in Mississippi a day or two ago and was buried at Macon yesterday. John \V. Cray, a prominent citizen of Fayette county, was found guilty in the Cnited States court at Atlan ta Saturday of conducting an illicit distillery. Augusta has two candidates in the race for the supreme court judge- ships. They are Maj. Joseph Gatiahl ahd M. P. Carroll, who, at present, holds the office of city attorney. The governor has appointed George L. Cox to be silieitor for the county court, of Walton county. The posi tion is made vacant by* the election of incumbent sis a mem per of the leg islature. An Augusta physician is backing a movement, to mave a crematory for the cremation of human bodies locat ed iu that city.

Reeves’ plantation toward Georgetown Friday, and when pass ing an obscure part of the road John son suddenly dropped behind and shot Jackson twice. Both shots took ctlcct, one bull entering the neck and the other the buck. Johnson then robbed his comrade of the contents of his grip, which was $3, and fled. Jackson is in Quitman, where he is receiving medical attention and may recover. Johnson is still at large, superior court, at Atlanta Wednesday, and she didn’t have to get married to change it. The lady in question was Mrs. W. J. Mccaslan, the first wife of W. J. Mecaslnn, well known at one time as a resident, of Atlanta. Mrs. Mecaslan showed to tin* court that she was the first wife of W.

The Department of Agriculture, through tiie Bureau of Animal In dustry. has just isued Bulletin No. 12 entitled “A Report upon the Vres ent Knowledge of the Tapeworms of Poultry,” together with a “ Bibli ography of the Tapeworms of Poul try,” by Fh. Wardell Stiles, A. M., Ph. D., and Albert llassnll, M. R. C. V. 8. It is published in response to “re quests for information coming from otlieers of Experiment. Stations and others engaged in investigating the diseases of poultry.” “The subject is a very important one, both from practical and scien tific points of view. Our knowledge of the parasites of poultry is in a very unsatisfactory condition, and contributions to it are so scattered through the literature of the world that they are not available to the greater part of those engaged in the investigation of this and allied sub jects.” This volume of 88 pages contains: (1) A general discussion; life history and source of infection; the relation of the tapeworms of wild birds to I those of domesticated fowls; symp toms and pathology; tapeworm-in fected fowls as food; prevention and treatment; (2) A classification into families and genera with technical description; (3) Chart of parasites, arranged according to their hosts, with explanation of chart; (1) Two hundred and seventy-six figures on twenty-one plates, with a description of same; (5) Index to scientific names; (6) Bibliography of the tape worms of poultry lo the present date. A limited number of copies are at the disposal of the Superintendent of Documents, Union Building, Wash ington, D. C., to whom requests should be sent.

Dr. Ford was driving home in the. twilight utter n hard iln.v’s work, tired, nnd anxious us to the result of uu important surgleul operation per formed that morning. The mud sputtered up front the street ns he rolled nlong; nnd the chilling No vember drizzle gave to the familiar trees u forlorn, almost ghastly, as pect. His heart warmed ns he pic tured to himself his wife watching for him, with a welcoming smile, from their cozy parlor; dinner ready; nnd a long, restful evening before them. Hut ns lie drew near home, no elieerfnl light streamed from door or window. All seemed us dark and de serted ns the dripping street. He throw file- reins to the boy whose duty it wus to hold the horse on their profession,,! rounds, and flung open the front door with an irritated, in jured feeling. XL, tender smile; no sympathetic voice; no firelight; no dinner, appar- “Elinor!” he called. No answer. “Elinor!” This time a voice spoke out of the darkness, a tired voice. Do be more quiet, John; tlie baby is just going to sleep.” Confound it! AN hy Isn t there a light here? and why isn’t the baliy asleep before this lime?” lie has been fretful all day with his teeth; and I have not had a bunco to change my dress even,” was he answer. A wailing cry from the nursery cut the voice hurrying thither; and tip- doctor, with some words not piite audible, proceeded to light the gas and take efiv his damp overcoat. Ihc house, was cold; the parlor had iden'fly been arranged by Hiber nian hands; an odor of something burning stole from the kitchen re gions. A pleasant reception, truly, for a man after a long day a work! He ran upstairs with no gentle footsteps. His wife sal by the nur- lire; her face wore a weary ex pression, and she had on the same blue gow n which she. hud donned for breakfast. The baby, at length, slept in her arms. She held up a warning finger as her husband came blunder ling in, but already baby's light si uni- her had been disturbed; and the. pro- rot' soothing and singing had to be all repeated for the fiftieth time. It seemed to tlie young mother as if her patience could hold out no longer. It was provoking to have, the little one startled from his un- usy dreams again. Sin* knew Bridget would spoil the dinner. She had been after Bridget a little?” trying all day to get downstairs to make the house pleasant with a mag-' touch here and there. She longed to get into a fresh grown and brush her hair; but there had been in* bailee, for her to do one of these things. Nurse was away with a Hick ,-istcr; and babies always demand •c from their mammas than from any one else. They are tyrannical little darlings, and know and seize every opportunity to prove their power over the anxious, half-ignor ant young mothers who arc happy, iHer all, to be slaves in such sweet service. When, at last, the dinner bell rang, Mrs. Ford laid baby gently iu his •rib, sound asleep this time, warm uni lovely in his utter repose. She gave a hurried dal) at her wavy locks, caught up a fresh handkerchief, and ran to join her husband, who sat at the table, a decidedly cross look upon his fine face, lie barely tasted the soup, then pushed it away in disgust. “Burned?” asked the wife. “Of course. Can’t you smell it all over the house? Why don’t you look “Why, John, I have hardly been downstairs today.” “Where’s Hannah?” “She. went to her sister’s last night.” “Oh! yes, I forgot. What’s this? Cold corned beef! Really, Elinor, have, you nothing else?” “Would you like an omelet, John?” “No. A beefsteak, if there is one in the house.” Mrs. Ford rose herself and went into the kitchen. The girl, of course, had just filled up the range with fresh coal; so there was nothing to he done but to make tin* best of the cold meat, potatoes and macaroni, followed by a dessert of apple-pud ding and cheese. Dr. Ford found fault with the po tatoes, and said he was tired of mac aroni. the bread was dry. the butter not perfect. As to the pudding: “My mother,” he said, “always had mince pie at this season.” a year of unexam- if the deposits in are any indication, the in- in those in joint stock banks ner six million dollars, and in I unusually sensitive to straws last straw; and his • avings banks also over six million dollars.

"I think so too,” he responded, pushing his chair back. His wife hesitated a moment whether to run around the table and item to have a good supply of fruits: imrst into tears upon her husband’s and vegetables all the season. shoulder or to rush upstairs and have u good cry by baby’s side. {She de cided upon the luUcr course and, wiui quivering bp, icit me room, unit stmt liciscu up in tlie nursery, wiioie Hie lire was uyiug on me licurm and the baby breaming solliy in strange contrast, lo her over wrought condition.

"Who’s come?” exclaimed a voice from the bed in one corner of the room. "Nelly, girl, who are ye talk- in* with?” f "It’s Dr. Ford, whom you sent for,” said the doctor, approaching the bed. One candle in a tin candlestick lighted dimly the untidy, comfortless place, showing the stove, nnd a man with tumbled hair and a rough beard lying among the pillows of the bed. “Oh! the doctor,” said he, with fe verish eyes staring from under shag gy brows. "Ilovv long have you been ill?” asked the physician, sitting down oil a rickety chair. "It’s a week since I give up,” an swered the Hick man, “hut I’ve been feeling Imd a long lime lmclc.” Dr. Ford placed his little thermom eter under the patient’s tongue, and waited silently. "Joe’s sick,” moaned the girl peer ing out of the shadows. Tin* sulVcrer seemed lo be irritated by the repetition of these words, and made an impatient gesture; but, as he did so, glanced pitifully towards the slouching figure. "W hat you most need is good nurs ing,” said the doe tor, after examin ing the thermometer. The man’s face darkened. The woman moved away and hovered aim lessly over the stove. “Slur’s my wife,” said the sick man, huoTBcly. “I know she ain’t quite like other folks. But she’s peaceable and good, not hold and noisy like the other women. I pitied her first oil; then I got kind o’ fond of her.

The girl started, then moved slow- lv towards the ruined mess. “D it!” said the sick man, through his teeth. “Don’t burn yourself, Velly,” he called out gently, as if to a little child. Sim turned bewildered with the saucepan in her hand, the tears over flowing at last,. “Never mind, my girl, throw it away. Don’t cry.

Experiments With Foods. * Experiments made at Die AcwYurk experiment, station show that,uniking ailupvaiHe lor the cost ol hatching and growing the pullets used in Hie experiments, and considering the market value ol the liens at Die end, the excess ol the product over tin- cost ol the wiioie grain consumed was iS.h per cent. This is near enough to i-laiin that the excess over the loocl is equal to the cost; Dial is, il the loot! cost one dollar the value of the pro duct, after paying for the food,is one dollar. With those having ground grain Uu: excess was 68.5 per cent, or a fraction over I wo-thirds. In using Leghorns and Cochins it was found Hint the Leghorns made Die larger gain in eggs mil the Cochins made a gain in value ol meat product, and Du: result showed that, ground grain is cheaper than whole grains, consid ering Hit: value of the eggs and meal irom tju* liens, but ii is more labor ious to feed ground grain than to scatter the whole grains. Ground grain permits of using a greater va riety of foot Is, which no doubt was an important factor in producing the larger grain. Hattie I ItacuM* A telegram from Birmingham,Ala., says: A battle that occurred at Belle El am mines, Bibb county, yesterday be- vveen whites and blacks, resulted in Die death of two men anti the wound- g of two others. Deputy Sheriff i alum had gone to the place from Biicton Saturday with a warrant for the arrest of George Gore, a notori- 11us negro character. Gore was found arly yc.-Jerduy morning in the ne gro quarters, and resisted arrest, drawing a shotgun on the olliccr. The latter grought his pistol into play, .md both men pulled the triggers of their weapons. Tatum’s pistol refus 'd to fire, but Gore’s shotgun was discharged, the load, which consisted of birdshot only, taking effect in Tar linn’s head, producing a severe wound. At this juncture several oth er negroes ran to Gore's rescue with drawn weapons, John Sullivan, a jew elry drummer from Bessemer, seeing Tatum's plight, came to his aid, and opened fire. He killed Gore at the first shot. Then Tatum, though wounded, got his pistol to working, and began firing. When the battle was over Frank Martin, colored, was dying, and Jim Dennis, colored, was badly wounded. A large number of negroes gathered and made ugly demonstrations toward Tatum and Sullivan, hut the whites rallied to them. For a time it looked like wholesale bloodshed would follow but the formidable showing of the whites over-awed the negroes, who finally dispersed. iHk in UsEuOi Fov Our HouBolcooporB and Lady Reader,).

There is. a rumor abroad that we are going to have a perfect craze for yellow this winter. Sleeves are worn very long on the new house gowns,often coming down over the hands several inches. Feather boas will be worn with every sort of a costume, from a street gown to an elaborate evening frock. Some of these boas are fastened un der the head of a bird and others are finished by bunches of ribbon loops. Many of the handsome fall ribbons have velvet effects and brilliant bro cades toned down with black satin st ripcs.

' An idle child is continually complaining for amusu- ""•ni.s, which the industrious one "ill provide for himself, and the tasks he has to perform are done with such an ill gmee u.nd with so much complaining, one would rather do the work than by, bothered with fheui; while the wiping worker dis poses of each job as if it were u pleasure (as it realty is), and when through with them ^oes to his play with the feeling that he lias earned the right to his amusements, and en joys them accordingly. "Tasks are made harder by putting off from day t.o day what should be done at once. ‘A task begun is half done’ is an old and true saying, and there is no happiness like the happi ness of looking back over work well done. “To the young and middle-aged v oidr - )H ■**.■-ncc&sffity.

The mid dle-aged man or woman who will say, while yet in the prime of life, 1 have done my share of work, here- altcr some one else may take my place,’ is of another class that never ‘fell in love’ with work. " 1 he only ones who seem to have really earned the right to rest and be taken care of are the aged. It is u positive delight to me lo see an old person who can enjoy himself or hcrscll alter a life of toil, and hear them tell over the tales of early trials and hardships, which, while hard at the time, only proved the mettle iu them, as gold is tried by lire; and now that their working day s are over, can feel that they arq deserving ol the loving care that will follow Ilium tlie few remaining days ol their lives. And it may be that if we perform our work faithfully and hcerfully, we, too, shall hear at life’s closing, ‘YVel done, thou good and faithful servant; enter into the" joys of thy rest.’ However it may be, even should we ‘get weary and think work is dreary, ’tis better by far Lo have something to do.” Happiness and Work. We arc confronted on every side, in the crowded city or in the lonely country where Die homes are far apart, with the fact that work lies before us; and the two words as some one has truly said, largely depend on each other. There can be no real genuine happiness without work and one cannot work without being Scratching Material. 11 is now considered essential to keep laying hens busy, and one oi the essful poultry men asserts that lie attaches more value to scratching material for winter use than to the cl, and also claims that he gets more eggs from leaves and dry dirk than from corn. It is not inferred that eggs can be produced from leaves and dry dirt, but leaves are valuable adjuncts in assisting the food. At this season of tlie year farm ors can rake leaves and store dry dirt, thus having on hand a supply for winter. A poultry house that is cov ered on the floor with leaves to the depth of three or four inches will be much warmer than if no leaves are used, as the draughts are prevented along the floor and Die liens will be more comfortable. If a small quau- lity of seed is scattered in the leaves the hens will be busy, contented and keep in better health than if kept in idleness. Dry dirt may also be used under the leaves or under the roosts. 1’he combination of leaves and dirt prevents dampness and assists in pre venting the accumulation of filth, while the cleaning of the house will be less difficult. lu setting trees for a windbreak take those of a close-growing habit.
