Mr. T. T. Bottoms who is at
Prescott, Am., writes as follows
to the Times-Enterprise under
recent date:
Prices here are fifty per cent
higher than at Thomasville. A
good chicken costs $i, corn
meal $2 a bushel, cooking soda
1 5 cents a pound and everything
else in proportion.
The first rain in two months
fell July 21. Thousands of cat
tle have died of starvation and
it is nothing to see fifty or a
hundred dead cattle piled in a
heap, killed by lack of water.
Any one can get work and
wages are high, but it costs you
twice as much to live as it does
at home.
Mr. Bottoms says that the re
port as to his having gained 40
pounds since going there is not
correct, but that he has every
reason to believe that he will
improve in such a high and dry
climate. Every one of Tom’s
friends, and they are legion,
hope that he may speedily be
restored to good health and live
ong as the “hustling T. P. A.”
of the Atlantic Coast Line.

The St. Louis Exposition is
not proving to be a gold mine
that its projectors anticipated.
The management has found it
necessary to reduce salaries and
cut down expenses in other
manners. It is unquestionably
the greatest show of its kind
ever brought to perfection, but
it does not draw the patronage
that had been counted upon.
ANY CHURCH or parsonage or insti
tution supported by voluntary contribu
tion will be given a liberal quantity of the
Eongnian & Martinez Pure Paints when
ever they paint. therefore when
8 & 6 make 14, you
want fourteen gallons of paint, buy only- of
eight of L. & M. and mix 6 gallons
pure Linseed Oil with it, making the ac
tual cost of paint about $1.20 per gallon.
Don’t pay $1.50 a gallon for Linsted Oil
(worth 60 cents) which you dft when you
buy other paints in a can with a paint
label on it.
Many houses are w-ell painted with fou.
gallons of L. & M. and three gallons of
Linseed Oil mi::ed therewith.
Wears and covers like gold.
These Celebrated Paints are sold by
Wight & Browne. Cairo Ga.

Irish Potatoes**=How to Keep
Them.
M. S. writing from Marion,

tion of recent date has this to
say in regards as to how to keep
Irish potatoes: “I notice several
have asked you how to keep
spring raised potatoes through
the summer and winter. As I
have been successful for three
years I will give you my meth
od. 1 dig them on a cloudy day,
spread them on a floor and
sprinkle them liberally with
lime and they will keep firm
and not rot. They will sprout
next spring, but slow about it.
I also treat my big onions the
same way and they keep well.
I have heard the same treat
ment would keep apples, but
have never tried it. The pota
toes can be put in barrels after
the hot weather is over.
Cholera Infantum.
This disease has lost its terrors
since Chamberlain’s Colic, Chol
era and Diarrhoea Remedy came
into general use. The uniform
success which attends the use of
this remedy in all cases of bowel
complaints in children has made
it a favorite wherever its value
has become known. For sale by
