What the Poor Things Think^of
the Cost of Married Life.
One night not long ago, we had tbe
misfortune of being quartered in an
adjoining room to three bachelors. It
was in tbe town of Crawfordville, and
we do not want to call them “old bach
elors,” although it seems that tbej do>,
serve that title. We will call them by
the following names: Messrs. Law
yer, Merchant and Salesman. This
was about the wav the conversation
run, as they reposed on their humble
couches.
Mr. Lawyer, who might be called
the senior of the band, said in a doubt
ful tone : “Boys, let’s all get married
this fall, if such a thing be possible.”
At this Messrs. Merchant and Sales
man reversed themselves in their beds
and agreed to the assertion.
Lawyer: “But I tell you, it will
cost all of a hundred dollars for either
of us to get off.”
Salesman: “How do you make it
tbat much?”
L: “Because in the first place,
you’ll have to buy a suit of clothes
that will cost you 830.00.”
S: “Pshaw I There’s no use in
that. An 818.00 suit will be good
enough for me if 1 can get a girl to say
that blessed word‘yes’’.’
“And,” continued the legalists,
“we’ll have to buy furniture, quilts,
pillow-slips, sheets, bedding, towels
and—good gracious!”
“And,” put in the calico measuber,
“we’ll have to get a coffee pot, knives
and forks, spoons, dishes, a cooking
stove. I tell you it costs-—” Y.
Then the merchant interrupted by
saying, “You are right, boys ; it is ex¬
actly sol” i - <
S: “Will have to have pots and kei
tles, and-” ,,
Eight here we hear a shrill vhl’
from tbe lawyers waive- -
w
Lvui’IH) we W ia*
trip, and all these things w, t a n
least $200.’’ A H
S: “For heavens’ sake,don’t be tal K
ing about a bridal trip ; I’ll be Satisfied
if I can get the girl and stay $ home.”
M-. “Ab! you’re right about that
thing.” y
L: “But I tell you it is getting
time we were marrying if we ever in¬
tend to enter into that happy state of
life.”
Ye Ed. was in deep synumthy with
his neighbors, bnt could but laugh
heartily at their magnifying the whole
affair. We agreed with them on one
point and that was that it was high
time they were getting off if they eter
expected to, as some of them are be¬
ginning to show a few silvery locks
above their ears. We solicit the aid
of every reader of this article for their
benefit.
If there is an unmarried lady in the
community, who thinks she can furn¬
ish any articles that will curtail the
above expenses, and thinks she could
put up with such love as these poor
can bestow, she is earnestly
to drop a note to either of
above names, at this post office.
response to this appeal will be
received by them.
Cow Peas.
Some experienced farmers say, they
have found from practical experience
for all working animals, a pound
of pea meal, mixed in feeding with a
pound of corn, is worth a good deal
more than two pounds of corn. They
say also that a horse fed in this way is
healthier and able to do more work
tban if fed all corn. The opinion has
gained with many who have tried it,
that horses, fed with peaa or oats, with
corn, are much more abundant in mus
cle, healthier and stronger than if fed
in the usual way with all corn and fod
der or hay. Agricultural chemists
favor this idea, or, at least, the great
value of feeding leguminous plants,
beans and peas to animals. They con
tain the elements of the protine com
pounds so valuable as food for animals.
Some of the agricultural chemical wii
ters go so far as to say that tbe legu
men of bean and peas give them more
nutrative value than corn. If that be
here tofore alluded to, and as they are
more easily and abundantly grown, it!
would sustain the idea of those who*
commend their use with corn as food'
for horses.
Com Versus Cotton.
Land that is rich enough to make a
bale of cotton to tbe acre,says the New
Orleans Picayune, in discussing the
corn and cottoa problem, will produce,
under proper cultivation, with a good
season, thirty-five bushels of corn and
half that amount of clay peas, or fifty
bushels of corn and half that amount
0 f corn and peas. In ordinary times
times these can be sold for about one
dollar per bushel. Now make a com
parison witb cotton planting. If a
m plants and cultivates all the peas
and com ho can save, and another on
the same kind of land, plants and col
cultivates all the cotton ho can make
an a 8 aye, which crop will bring the
mos t clear money after all expenses in
sending to market are paid ? The
corn, peas, hay, and enriching the land
by the pea crop, will certainly give
these a decided advantage over cotton,
There are plenty of farmers in the
West who do not make more than fifty
bushels of corn to the acre, and sell
corn at twenty-five cents a bushel,
eq Ua i to 812.50 an acre. A good far
mer on most any land in the South,
properly fertilized with pea vines and
other home fertilizers, should make
twenty to twenty-five bushels of corn
to the acre, and a pea crop besides, the
w i 10 l e worth 820 to 840 an acre. Why,
then, will not the corn in the South
pay? Besides, home made corn sold
to non- producers in the South,prevents
go much money from leaving the coun
while Western com takes money
from the South to return no more ;
then corn in the West that is made in
to whisky is sent into the South takes
the balance of the profit,
Sick Headache and a sensation of op¬
pression and a dullness in tbe head, are

Every farmer can, if he will, have a
pretty good supply of manure, without
buying it. He can easily save a good
deal from a few cows, hogs, sheep and
homes. It is a poor way to use none
and depend upon land without help,
unless it is rich. If it is poor it would
be a great help to get from his hills of
corn two or three large ears of corn
instead of as many nubbins. Surely
any man with a horse, two or three
cows, and a few hogs, with scrapings
from lots and yard and hen houses,
could get a few thousand handfuls of
valuable manure. A handful to each
hill of corn would give one or two
large ears of corn to each hill. A far¬
mer ought to feel ashamed when look¬
ing at a little pile of nubbins, in his
autumn com crib, when it could easily
have been made a large pile of big
ears.
The” Life of the flesh is the blood there¬
of;’’ pure blood means healthy functional
activity and this bears with it the cer¬
tainty of quick restoration from sickness
or accident. Dr. J. H. McLean’s
Strengthening Cordial and Blood Purifier
gives pure rich blood, and vitalizes and
sireegtliens the whole body. 51-00 per
bottle.
The e-litor that makes known the
advantages of his own town and State
is to be applauded, and f or a piece of
genuine and spirited advocacy com¬
mend us to the Nebraska editor, who
after having read in Eastern newspa
pers that Nebraska is a sterile and dia
mal country and inferior to other
Western States, pours the following
grape shot into the ears of the aston
ished Eastern Scribe: “Nebraska is
the sole remaining section of Paradise
in tbe w estern world. It is no un¬
common thing for a whole Nebraska
family to sit on one end of a potato
while the other is roasting in the fire,
We hatch out wild geese of such di¬

drawback—we can’t raise pumkins or
melons, for the vines grow so fast that
the fruit is knocked off by quarter-sec
tion fences.”

So long bas White's Cream Vermifuge
been before the public that it is only nec¬
essary to say that this nover failing reme¬
dy can be had of all druggists Its long
continued use is iuffleient proof of its effi¬
cacy, and mothers who have tried it tor
worms in children declare it to bo the on¬
ly preparation that moves the worms
and effectmally.
An advertisonent reads: “ Wanted,
a young man to be partly out of doors
and partly behind the counter,” and
the Cieavland Leader asks,“What will
be tiie result when the doors slams?”
Incredulity may for a season give a cold
receptiou to truth, out the latter has snch
a winning way that when she positively
asserts thatTabler’s Buckeye File Oint¬
ment is absolutely the only speedy aud
lasting cure for piles, and gives as evi¬
dence the testimony of thousands who
have been reiieeed by it, the merits of
Tabler’s Buckeye File Ointment Is grace¬
fully acknowledged.
The young boy who Is so far gone
that lie must see bis girl every night in
the week, and gets mad because anoth¬
er fellow takes her out walking one
afternoon in the week, is beyond q ues
tion unwell.
No one can estimrte the evil that may
be produced by the neglect of one simple
duty, and in matters pertaining to the
health procrastination may haue fatal re¬
sults. Therefore if your child has worms
use White’s Cream Vermifuge, a pure
and simple remedy, which has stood the
test and never failed to dislodge the
worms - Try it.
