The Summer la Coming.
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.

community and claimed his virfim —

J. J. Kent, aged about 80 years died

We would again call the attention of
our readers to the articles of our Au

—nothing but sense—in which the farm

these articles very highly, and ask our
readers to keep up with them.

An itinerant trader of these parts,
who does a large business of traveling
around, and is the owner of a very poor
horse, and has a brother in the same
business, whose horse has lately deceas
ed, succeeded a few days ago in negoti
ating with a Sharon dealer for a pint of
whisky. 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 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.”
