SEPTEMBER 12, 1805.
Th hog ami hominy cry is again
supplanting that of politics.
Statesmen are already budding
for next year’s political affray.
The cotton crop may be short but
it seems the price will be good.
The Rome Tribune calls a recent
wedding a “romantic” wedding just
because it occurred in Rome. What
next?
In a recent tight in Mississippi
Miss Sis Rankin chewed the rings
from Miss Sadie Hull’s ears. The
erring chewer.
Whitney and Harrison seem now
to be most in evidence as possible
presidential candidates for their re
s-pactive parties.
Texas is surely a great state, and
is nothing if not lively: Recently
in that state a preacher threw a
hible at a deacon, who started to
run away with the collection, and
knocked him down the front Steps
of the church, breaking his leg in
two places.
The annual cotton report of Sec
retary Hester, of the New Orleans
Cotton Exchange, shows Texas to
have produced as much cotton last
season as the whole country did
half a century ago. And it looks
like if things don’t change from
what they have been Texas may as
well raise cotton for the rest of the
universe.
The forthcoming revised Geor
gia code will be in three volumes.
The first will contain the civil law,
ihe second the criminal and the
third the special laws not in com
mon application. It will be thor
oughly indexed and one of the best
pieces of work in the country. It
will not be out for eight or nine
months.
Hopkinsville is to have not only
the Kentucky Press Association
this month, but the Rev. Sam Jones.
Sam made a hit in Hopkinsville
two years ago, and his hold on the
town can be imagined when it is
known that while the tabernacle is
the only suitable place in which to
hold a large political meeting, the
managers of the Hard in-Bradley
debate could neither rent, lease nor
buy it for the day arranged for the
debate. The trustees declared that
tiie building was intended for reli
gious purposes only.—Louisviiie
Courier-Journal.
To a reporter who hunted him up
the other day to ask him about the
lecture he is preparing for delivery
the coming season, ex-Gov. “Bob”
Taylor, of Tennessee, slid: “I,have
a nice home, six acres of good land,
a garden, a loving wife and six
good children. 1 don’t care lor
riches. All 1 desire is to go out oc
casionally and gather in a few
shekels for my family. To sit here
under these trees in summer, to
study and read, is bliss complete.”
His new lecture is to he on “Dixie.”
Gov. Taylor is said to lie as fond of
his fiddle as ever, and entertains
his friends with rollicking ditties as
of old.
BEATS AI.L FOKMKI! KKCOKDB.
The annual report recently issued
by the secretary of the New Orleans
Cotton exchange shows the great
improvement in the country’s cot
ton milling business in the year
ending September 1. Twenty per
cent, more cotton was taken by the
mills of the south than in the year
1893-4. The figures for the year
ju-t closed are 802,8.16 bales. The
increased consumption was mads
possible by the e'r ction of new
nulls, the enlargement of old ones
and by working overtime. The
stock of wool first purchased was
found to be insuffieieht and new
supplies were ordered.
The takings of the noi them and
eastern mills increased from 1,601,-
173 to 2,003,839 bales, making the
total for the United States only a
tittle short of 3,000,000 bales, the
exact amount being 2,940,677. The
country’s largest consumption here
tofore in a single yeer was 2,876,846
bales— in 1891-2. We have, there
fore, beaten the recoi l in the last
12 months by about 70,000.
Last year was a record breaker,
, in the product! '..Vouorir.
According to the report of Secre
tary Hester, who is an authority
on such matters, last year’s cotton
crop amounted to 9,901,051 bales,
averaging 9 1-2 pounds more to the
bale than the crop of IS! 3. Meas-
tired by the standard of the latter,
last season’s crop was equal to 10,-
086,000 hales. Our largest previous
crop was that of 1801-2, amounting
to 0,035,370 hales.
NO MORE GIFTS OF SEEDS.
Secretary Marten Savs His Pelicv 1*
Indorsed by the Peepjje.
The free and unlimited distribu
tion of seeds by the government
has probably stopped for good.
The secretary of agriculture said
that not a single protest has been
received against his action of July
20 in stopping the seed evil.
“Not only is this a fact,” said the
secretary, “hut we have clippings
of 500 newspapers from all sections
of the United States warmly ap
proving the abolition of the seed
distribution. The agricultural and
horticultural rural press is unani
mous in its approval.”
It has been the custom to put 450
tons of seeds in the mails annually
for free distribution. The annual
cost of this was $168,000.
“It was easy to see that the people
of the country cared nothing for
tbs seeds,” continued the secreta
ry, “by their failure to acknowledge
their receipt. There were last
year 0,000,000 packages of seeds
sent out to about 1,750,000 people,
and we received less than 1,000
acknowledgments of their delivery.
I have no idea that there will he
any attempt to re-enact the law' re
quiring the distribution of seed.”
When it was suggested that per
haps some republican orators
would urge this stoppage of the
seed distribution as evidence of the
administration’s disregard for the
farmers, Secretary Morion said:
“Just let them try that. I have
a check for $75 that was paid to a
republican member of congress for
Hi* quota of seeds. That member
is worth $1,000,000. One member
told he had bought up SI,OOO worth
of seed from follow members last
year.”
A CURIOUS DICTIONARY.
W hat the Various Keys That are Used in
Music Stand For.
The meaning of the different keys
in music is thus set down in a let
ter written in 1808 and printed in a
hook entitled “Letters on the Cele
brated Composer, Iladyn”:
F—This key is rich, mild, sober
and contemplative.
D minor possesses the same qual
ities, hut of a heavier and darker
cast; more doleful, solemn and
grand.
C—Bold, vigorous and command
ing; suited to the expression of war
and enterprise.
A Minor—Plaintive, but not fee
ble.
G—Gay and sprightly; being the
medium key, it is adapted to the
greatest range of subjects.
E Minor—Persuasive, soft and
tender.
D —Ample, grand and noble; hav
ing more lire than C, it is suited to
the lottiest purposes.
B Minor—Bewailing, but in too
high a tone to excite commisera
tion.
A—Golden, warm and sunny.
F Sharp Minor—Mournful and
grand.
E—Bright and pellucid, adapted
to brilliant subjects.
B—Keen and piercing; seldom
heard.
B Flat—The least interesting of
any. It has not sufficient fire to
render it majestic or grand, and is
too dull for song.
G Minor—Meek and pensive.
Replete with melancholy.
E Flat—Full and mellow, som
ber, soft and beautiful. It is a key
in which all musicians delight.
Though less decided in character
than some of the others, the regu
larity of its oeauty renders it a
universal favorite.
C Minor —Complaining, having
something of the cast of B minor.
A Flat—The most lovely of the
tribe. Unassuming, gentle, soft,
delicate and tender, having none
of the pertness of Ain sharps. Ev-
ery author has been sensible to the
charm of this key, and has reserved
it for the expression of the most re
fined sentiments.
F Minor—Religious, penitential
and gloomy.
D Flat—Awfully dark.

A Timely Iternlmfer.
Each season forces upon our con
sideration its own peculiar peril to
nealth. The advent of fall finds many
reduced in strength and vigor, poorly
prepared to continue the business of
life. The stomach and bowels, the great
highway of animat economy, is espe
cially liable to disorder in the fail The
nervous system has also suffered in the
struggle. Typhoid fever and malaria
in particular find in the fall that com
bination of earth, air and water that
mark this season as especially dan
gerous. The failing ieaves, the decay
ing vegetables contribute their share of
contamination Hood’s Sarsaparilla fur
nishes a most valuable safeguard at
these important points, and should be
used in the fall before serious sickness
has laid you low.
