The hot summer is near at hand, and the greatest kindness that you can do for your wife and daughters, is to buy them a good cooking stove, so they may cook without becoming over-heated and injury to their health. The best stove we know is the celebrated “Times Cook Stove,” manufactured by A. K. Childs A Co., Athens, Ga. Richards & Legwen are there agents here ; read their adver tisement in another column of The Democrat, and go and get one. A great many remedies are avdertised to bring them before the public, but the latter decides whether the article is good or bad. The good reputation which Dr. Bull’s Eaby Syrup enjoys is a standing guarantee of its merits. Price 25 cents. ••All Right.” The Greenesboro’ Herald wishes to know why we called a certain little bul let-beaded Frenchman, “Prof. Labat in Crawfordville, and a musical tramp in White Plains.” We see no impropriety or irrelevancy in the use of the terms, and used them in the same manner as we would say, “Cicero, the orator,” etc. The interval between, we cannot see, made any difference in their use. Brother Lewis is becoming extremely critical in his old age, but we hope the above will prove entirely satisfactory. -o Remcdy lor Chills. A gentleman of this county gives us the following remedy for chills which he says is infallible. It at least has the virtue ------------ of being a simple and within the „„„ reach of all, and is worth a trial. Take an ounce of camphor gum and wear it immediately over the pit of the stomach for — ten days, — “— then change ’ for * an ounce of fresh gum which wear in like manner and time. This is said to cure jierma nently the most stubborn case of chills and fever. Died. Again has death entered our little community and claimed his virfim — Mrs. Parthenia Kent, mother of Dr. J. J.

Friend Hayles is looking unu sually well, and is selling large quanti¬ ties of goods.

Seating himself at the fire, our trader held up the innocent red-eye to the light, ant! solemnly remarked to the by-standers, “gentlemen, this is what killed my brother's hoss.’’ The Planter A Grange. The above named journal is one of the neatest and best agricultural papers pu> fished in the South, and should be in the bauds of every farmer in the State. In its columns is found plain, practical ideas expressed In a style that can be understood, and which any farmer may utilize with benefit. It has always been a mystery to us why such a publication is not more generally read, when it treats continually of the vital interests of our farmers. Returned Home. Mrs. James Edge and Miss Julia Tay¬ lor who were both sent to the State Lunatic Asylum some three or four months ago from this comity, returned home on the 12th inst., perfectly recov ered. These ladies say they met with the kindest treatment and tenderest care from Dr. Greene and others of the insti¬ tution. The State Asylum is a great blessing to those who are so unfortunate as to become non compos, and our Legis¬ lature should see to it that its useful¬ ness is not tramcled or limited for the lack of funds. The Asylum is one ob¬ ject upon which, in reason, appropria¬ tions cannot be made too lavishly. Almost a Plre. About 12 o'clock, Monday, our ciliiens were startled by the cry of fire, and everybody rushed away in the direction indicated. It was found that the top of the cook-room of Mr. G. Tucker’s house had caught from a spark out of the stove chimney, and had kindled into a flame. Our active young men sprang to the roof, and extinguished the fire before it had gained any headway or had done any damage. Mr. Tucker desires us to return his sincere thanks to all, both white and colored, for promptly putting out the fire, and saving his house. Married. On Thursday, March 14th, at the resi¬ dence of the bride’s father, near Sharon, in this county, by Rev. A. C. Davidson, Mr. W. S. Graham, of Augusta, Ga., and Miss Beulah S. Kendrick, eldest daughter of Mr. R. T. Kendrick. ATTENDANTS. Miss Bertha Davidson, Mr. >ir. Ed. ua. Keatin treating, Miss Anna Moore, Mr. James Kendrick. A large number of invited guests were present to enjoy and add to the festivi ties of the occasion. On the morning of 15th inst. the happy couple left for Augusta, ivugmaa, uie the home some of or nr. Mr. Graham uranam, car rying with them the hearty good wishes of a large circle of friends for their future prosperity. The Democrat was not forgotten, and takes pleasure in acknowledging the reception of a large and delicious bridal cake. May ever be happy.

The ladies are especial ly invited to come out and to give their presence and their influence to this meet¬ ing—trill they not come f The Minstrels—.4 Meimatkm I!v the 10 o’clock truin on last Thurs day week there arrived In our town one A. M. Tunison, who announced that he was the advance agent of Barrett & Tu nisoq’s Minstrels, according to his state¬ ment, one of the finest companies of per¬ formers now upon the boards within the limits of the United States or Canada, and meeting with immense success, and crowded houses greeted them wherever they went. lie brought a letter of in¬ troduction to us from a Mr. Will Verdery, whom, it is true, we had seen passing on tlie ditch or wood train of the Ga. K. R., bat of whom we really knew nothing. The advance agent, Tunison, ordered printed So worth of programmes, with part of which he billed the town for a performance to be given on Friday night. With part of the remainder Tunison hurried to Greenesboro’, to bill that town for a performance on Saturday night. On the 1 o’clock freight, Friday, this magniflcient company of “burnt cork ” performers put in an appearance, and loafed around town, not forgetting frequently the saloons. On the 2 o’clock passenger, Friday, Tunison returned in a semi state of intoxication, to see tiiat things were properly conduct¬ ed. Frepaiatious for “the show” were made at the Male Academy building, and in due time “the curtain rose," and each member began “to play his part,” Some fiddled, some danced, some kicked, and one fellow tried to butt his brains out on the floor, and taken in the aggregate the whole tiling was flat, and unartistic. Our little bill was presented, and solemn protestations made that it would sureiy be settled before they left. How¬ ever, it was forgotten, and the treasurer, said Bill Verdery, finally sneaked off, slipping on the freight. On Monday, about 2 o’clock, the company, minus treasurer and advanced agent, came back, on foot, stating that Tunison was in Greenesboro’, drunk, ami tiiat Ver¬ dery had stolen all tiie funds and run¬ away. On Monday night they gave a 10 cts, show to get money enough to go to Augusta, and we hope they will stay there or somewhere else. It would afford us much pleasure to get a chance to interview Mr. Verdery with a warrant for cheating and swindling, as we are sure to do whenever an opportunity is offered. And thus ended the show that come to Crawfordville. LATER DEVELOPMENTS. We are informed that three of the frag¬ ments of the minstrel troupe which gave the dime show on Monday night, se¬ cured the proceeds, and left without making a division. The others left Tuesday, one on the cars by pawning fils old kugusteVonV^ureVa fiddle for enough to pay his fare to dollar or two by private donatioD( and two look lhe “people’s line.” Thev are certainly the greatest set of rascals we ever heard of, not even exhibiting the usual “honesty amon 8 theives.” How Watches are Made, It will be apparent to any one, who wilt examine a Boh a Gold Watch, that aside ind^to^The pr Y 10US medal used, large'proponfolfoTthe is needed only to stiiien And bold the (tftgraved portions in I ,lace - an< * supply the necessary and strength.
