Apply early foi* a bargain By order of the Trustees. Judge B.A. Strange lost a cow the other day that hesaid he would not have taken $25 for and in good order. Her actions were like those of a year¬ ling that died within the last week, that was thought to have been bitten by the mad dog that passed through here some time ago. Judge S.’s cow refused to eat last Saturday and he directed them to quit milking her. Go to Zack Anglins for your gro¬ ceries.

Tuesday night about 9 o'clock Dock Murray colored was passing along the street and when opposite Mr. William J. Allen’s shoe shop next door to our office north dis¬ covered that it was on fire and gave the alarm. The door was forced open and it was discovered in box of plunder. The most reasonable con¬ clusion as to its origin is that a rat got hold of a loose match in the box or carried it there and gnawed and ignited it. It could not have been incendiarism troin the tact that the fire originated in the box referred to inside the house and not under it. These is no fire pluceor stove to the house. The fire had reached the joist but sufficient aid soon extinguished it. It is said that rats tire fond of matches and we are strongly inclined to believe it. Don’t know why one should let any loose matches lie about the house. When yoo Change your clothes it is often the case that you untliought- edly leave matches in your vest 'Wickets [ we have often done it but Mnk )low we will not Go -<> ;i gpin We miss the face of Capt.

Items I’roiii Putnam. Putnam, Ga., Feb. 17, 1886. Business is quiet. Corn planting for next week is be¬ ing talked. A few of our farmers, report their hogs still dying of cholera. It seems that fate has decreed that our farmers shall raise no oats this year. The first sowing was killed by the cold, and those that have been sown since, the birds are pulling up as fast as they appear. Sam, the little eight year old son of Mr. J. T. McCorkle, who lives near here happened to a very pain- ful accident a fe n days since by ex¬ ploding a bottle of powder in his hand. The wound is not serious, but is proving very painful, being badly burned by the powder and lacerated by the glass. Anon. UI'E. WRITTEN for the enterprise. This world’s many good things— They fsl! in unequal shares; Some will taste of all the joys, And others only feel the cares. Tib true, that sunshine bright Will fall in the footpaths some tread, While others shiver in the cold Of cloud* that gather overhead. Of course, the trees that hang Full of luscious fruit will grow, Where some may reach and eat, While others faint and thirsty go. Sweet flowers bloom for some, For others thorns alone are found, And some grow rich on fruitful earth, While others till but barren ground. We find the hearts of some O’ertlowii with joy and happiness, While some pursue their lonely way, Unblessed with aught of tenderness. Yes, the eyes of nniny Ar# never moistened with a tear, While others weep from morn till night, Their hearts so crushed with sorrow here. Ah! well, we may not know indeed The whys, or wherefores of this life, But this we know—there’s One who sees And watches us through joy or strife. Each Rfe Us mission fulfills, Only We may know the end, And loving Him we may be strong, Though storm or sunshine He may send. Grand and Traverse Jurors.

That a hot, strong lemonade taken at bedtime will break up a had toh . That tough meat is made tender by lying a few minutes in vinegar water. , That a little soda water will re- lieve sick headache caused from in¬ digestion. That a cup of strong coffee will rtMnove the odor of onions from the breath. That a cup of hot water drunk before meals will prevent nausea and dyspepsia. That well ventilated bedrooms will prevent morning headaches and lassitude. That one in faint should be laid flat on his back; then loosen his clothes and let him alone. That a fever patient can be made cool and comfortable by frequent sponging off with soda water. That cold tea should be saVed for your vinegar barrel. It sours easily and gives color and flavor. That to beat the whites of eggs quickly, add a pinch of salt. Halt cools, and cold eggs froth rapidly. That the hair may be kept from falling out after illness by a frequent application to the scalp of sage tea. MANNERS FOR BOYS. Yorkers Gazette. Poor fellows: How they get hectored and scolded and snubbed, and how continual is the rubbing and drilling, which every member of the family feels at liberty to ad¬ minister. No wonder their opposition is aroused and the^.begin to feel that every man’s hand is against them, when after all if they were only, in a quiet way, informed of what was expected of them, and their manli¬ ness appealed to, they would readily enough fail into line. “Ho thought “Auntie M,” as she pointed out the following rules for a little twelve-year-old nephew, who was the “light of her eyes” if not always the joy of her heart, for though a good-natured, amiable boy in the main he would offend against the “proprieties” frequently. First come manners for the street. Hat lifted in saying “good-by” or “How do you do.” Hat lifted when offering a seat in a car or in acknowledging a favor. Keep step with any one you walk with. Always precede a lady up stairs and ask her if you may precede her, in.passing through a crowd or pub¬ lic place. Hat off the moment you enter a street and when you step into a pri¬ vate hall or office. Let a lady pass first always, un- less she asks you to precede her. In the parlor stand till every lady in the room is seated, also oiuer people. Iii#e if a lady comes in after you are seated and stand till she takes a seat. Look people straight In the face when speaking or being spoken to. Let ladies pass through a door first, standing aside for them. In the dining-room take your seat after ladies and elders. Never play with knife, fork or spoon. Do not take your napkin in a bunch in your hand. Eat as fast or as slow others as and finish the course when they do. Rise when ladies leave the room and stand until they are out. If all go out together, gentlemen stand by the door till ladies pass. Special rules for the mouth are that all noise in eating and smack¬ ing of the lips should be avoided. Cover the mouth with hand or napkin whop obliged to move any¬ thing from it. Use your handkerchief unobtni, sively always, Do not look toward a bedroom when passing. Always knock at any private room door. These rules are imperative. There are many other little points which add to the grace of a gentleman, but to break any of these is almost unpardonable. “Did you make up all these rules, auntie ?” said Roy, as a copy, neatly printed by a type writer, was placed in hands. “Make them up? No. They are just the common rules of society that every gentleman observes. You will not find your father failing in orje of them”’ “Well, but he is a man!” said Boy depreeatingly. “And you, do you not wish to be a manly boy ?” Roy said nothing, but it was no- tieed that the rules were placed very carefully in hie drawer, SHERIFF SALES.
