The Democrat. PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY BY CLEM. C. MOORE. CRA WFORD VILLE, GEOR GIA . Entered at the i> stoffice at Crawfoidviile, Georgia, as second-class mail matter. The people of California, ana espe¬ cially of San Francisco, note as a remark¬ able fact that pennies are coming into use as money, Heretofore the livc-cent nickel has been the smallest change. Ten years or more ago the ten-cent bit was the smallest. San Francisco is to be congratulated on this wholesome change in trade customs. Tito prosperity of neither individuals nor of the community can be regarded as on a sound basis while either is careless about little things. A trader who is unwilling to take one cent profit often repeated, is sure in the end to be superceded by some who will gladly do it. A machine for shearing sheep is said be in successful operation in Australia. It is made of brass, in the shape of a small trowell, and is actuated by a tur¬ bine wheel about three inches in diame¬ ter, geared into a wheel on which is fixed a cutter. A comb serves as a guard against cutting the skin. The steam is conveyed from the boiler by an India rubber tube, which is double, having one inside the other. The inner one is the injection, and the space between the two the ejection. When this machine is fitted with an attachment by which it will pursue and catch the sheep, the honest farmer will be enabled to do con¬ siderably more loafing than he does at present. _ A large trade is done in exporting timber from America to Australia, which gets most of her wood from other coun¬ tries. In 1885 there were imported into New South Wales nearly 07,000,000 feet of timber, valued at $2,291,000. Of this amount 23,000,000 feet were from the United States, a larger quantity than from any other country. New Zealand comes next in the amount and value of the import, and British America third. Norway furnishes the largest share of dressed timber, and our Consul at Syd¬ ney, Mr. Griffin, thinks that this is occa¬ sioned by the low price of labor in that country. The imports from the United States consist principally of pine and redwood from the States and Territories on the Pacific slope. The "mills of VsRnurntartn^t: " ’*»n'Ter¬ ritory rank among the foremost in the "world, and are equipped with the best and latest improvements in milling machinery. Tno sawed timber of the ^Pacific slope is often 150 feet in length. Preparations are being made for its ship men t in 1 arger quantities than ever not only to Australia, but Japan and other coun¬ tries. The men who own timber land in Australia are very jealous of the popu¬ larity of the American woods, and strong efforts are being made to have the gov- ing this protection is that the American ■wood takes lire too easily. It is likely that this effort will bo successful, and we will thus lose another very important market. The Discrepancy Explained. “Bromley, I’m right in with you. It which I can call in upon ten days’ notice, If you can command tho same amount-’’ “But how is this, Darringer? Yester¬ day you made an awful poor mouth. You said you had no bonds, no stocks, no money at interest, no-” ‘•Did I say it to you, Bromley?” “No; but to a stranger who sat just over there. I was by, you know.” “Oh, I remember. Well, do you know who the stranger was?” « iNo u “Ho ' was the assessor” “Oh, I T understand.” , . „ Philadelphia .ir Ca'.l Restoring a Scalped Finger. A A surgeon surgeon of Tours lours, l) Dr Thomas, , has recently communicated a very interesting fact concerning the surgery of the fingers, A man, while passing over a gate, lost the whole skin of one of his fingers, b ’ a ring around one of them having got caught between the gate and iron bar, and tLe weight of the man while jump¬ ing having forcibly dragged the finger through the ring. The ring and the skin remained an entire hour on the gate. Dr. Thomas secured both, and reintroduced the , scalped , , finger „ into . its normal , en velope. Abhough the whole skin did not adhere, a good part of it was restored to life; and it is possible that, if the ope ration cou.d , J have been performed earlier, the result might have been quite satisfac tory.— Science.

Clinch and Henry Hilton are authorized to make such partition and division of their in¬ terests in the estate as they may see fit.
