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.

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.
