Mr. Alex Evans of Wilkes says sections of his county have not suffered a day for rain aud the crops were good. Keep the Stomach and Bowels in good ebudition, the Waste Avenues open and free by an occasional does of Dr. M. A. Simmons Liver Medicine Several of our farmers have commenced to pick cotton. Thirty cents per hundred is the price they are paying pickers. Mr. Thomas Moore, the expert gin repairer, overhauled the O’Brien ginnery last week and put it in apple-pie order.

Sold by dealers in all civilized countries, THE ALUM BAKING POWDERS. Names of some of tUe Principal Brandi in this Vicinity,, The recent discussion in the papers of the effect upon the human system of food made with alum baking powders has caused numerous inquiries for the name* of the various alum powders. The chemists of the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station, Profs. W. A. Withers and J. A. jjBizzoil, have recently collected and analyzed the bak¬ ing powders sold in North Carolina, and from their report and from other reliable authority, the following list of baking powders containing alum sold in this state is given. Baking Powders Containing: Alum. GOODLUCK Contains Alum Southern Mfg. Co., Richmond. SUCCESS. .Contains Alum. Morehouse Mfg. Co., Savannah. RAILROAD Contains Alum, Morehouse Mfg. Oo„ Savannah. BON BON_____ _______Contains Alum. Grant Chemical Co. , Chicago. OLD DOMINION Contaihs Alum ' Old Dominion Mfg. Co., Richmond. In addition to these, it^Js learned that many grocers are selling what they call their own private or sneeial * brands ’ These powders are put up for the grocer. and his name put upon the labels by manufacturers of alum powders in New Orleans, Richmond, Chicago, Cincinnati and elsewhere. The mnmifaeturors, it is said, find their efforts to market their goods in this way greatly aided by ambition of the grocer to sella powder i with his own name upon the label, espeef ally as lie can make an abnormal P roflt upon it. It is quitei inpossible to give the names of all the alum baking powders in the market. They are constantly appearing in all sorts of disguises, under all kind® of cognomens, and at all kinds of prices, even as low as five and ten cants a pound. They can be recognized howover, by the housekeeper who wiil bear in mind that all baking powders sold at twenty-five cents or less per pound are llabel to con¬ tain alum, as pure cream of tartar pow «“»* ■» ■»»***> a, anythl -e IU. this price. _ It seems th ' ie 4- soi >are cot! »e* . tiaie.

Darden would no eut any watermelon and Darden says Flynt would not give-away any of his tobacco. Lon Gilbert has armed him self with a big Colt’s repeater. Dogs and rogues had better not prowl around his house. Every family should have some good shooting arms at hand. MedidimisTv^aWe T r>i _ Cj the Stomach, Aids Digestion and Assists' 1 Nature in carrying off all Impurities. Mr. Jessie Taylor showed us a sample of his forward corn. It is nearly dry enough to send to mill good size ears and large grain and very white,,Mr. L. S. Jackson sold the seed here last spring. >Ve hear some of our farmers say they expect to get six cents for their cotton crop. We hope they may get eight cents but they need not think that the short crops here will have.any thing to do with controling the prices. For Headache caused most likely by a Disordered Stomach, accompanied by Constipation, use Dr. M. A. Simmons Liver Medicine. Mr. A. D. Moore and| Emmett Darden were trading wheel barrow9 nearly all day last week and when they closed up both had the same wheel barrow but Emmett was out 60c. for having his repaired. Our people should save the seed on every stalk of sugar cane they cut. It Is good feed and they sell well too in the spring. The merchants had to order seed and sell the farmers to plant this year all on aocount of .not saying their own seed. People that have to buy on time to make a crop have to have something on time to gather It with and If those who run them don’t let them haye , It .... they will quit it and those who haye supplied up to gathering will have to hire it gathered. This was done last year. Uncle Bfiiy Mcore says the post office department requires things to be kept neat and in order about the office. Some censure him for doing his duty. He is only required to open the post: office at certa j n hours on Sunday or he would not gQ ^ 0 gj ce a u Sundays.

Mr. Baker generally makes big crops, to ftheplow, especialy corn. We expect he has enough old corn and fodder to do him two years now. City Cotton Crop—6,000 Balei, Hon. J. M. Kirk writes from Moravia, Texas, to the Schulenberg Sticker under date of April 19th last: “My farmer friends, look at every cotton platform as you pass by and you will see the present \square) bale standing on its head with from two to four great gaping wounds at .the megey of those who want to pilfer. Tht number of bales in Texas taken from the original runs up into the thousands. 1 remember during the session of the last Legislature. when the bill known as the Compress Bill was being discussed in the room, a geutleman the from Gal- in who was opposing asked by measure, (one of answer to a question bales me of cotton the Committee) how many Galveston were made by the compresses In that were taken lrom the original bales compressed there.
