Corn ns Poultry Food.
-Texas Farm and Ranch says: “Poul-
U - T uniters inveigh too much against
or >rn as a poultry food. There is no sin-
t'k grain that can take its place. All
oein of-course is not so good as a varie-
but half corn and half ‘variety’ Is
unobjectionable, and the proportion of
c I orn may be increased beyond that ra-
without anything resembling disas-
,ir> When fattening for market, corn
not only the best but the cheapest
f n°d known. The universal preference
0 chickens for corn whole or in any
Passible state of comminution should
-- regarded.” j
Job Printing promptly executed
Fining to Come Back to Burke.
The following letter was received
by one of Burke’s representatives a
few days since from a friend in At
lanta, who is pining for the scenes
of his nativity, a bird hunt, fishing,
spring chickens and water
melons (?)
Pining I am for the banks of green,
A nd the gentle ripples of a flowing stream,
The whirling eddies, the mossy logs.
Even the miasma from the bogs
Do tempt me with its sickly gleam,
r am sighing too, for a clear bine sky
Of an evening as the doves pass by,
Winging their way to some watery spot,
But managing ever to keep out of shot,
No matter how still I lie.
But speaking of pining, My!
How I pine,old boy, for the sightof your face.
The hoine-lolks; and the dear old'place
We loved to romp so well together.
Minding not the kind of weather
Sent us by the good Lod’s Grace,
sis sl
it might seem to you that I cut the above
o.Trather pie-emptorily, but I must make
me haste to finish my work, that I may
come down and quit writing about it, though
it is very pleasant so to do.

I forgot to mention that:
Yesterday while at East Lake,
I saw a fisherman from the water take
Two large trout.
They must have weighed about
Two pounds apiece.
Of course this stimulated my desire
To wet a line,
So, without loosing time
i proceeded to hire
The necessary tackle (which cost a dime)
And hied me to
What they call the “Black Bass
Rendezvous.
But alas!
That I, a fisherman, should tell the tale
And live—
I would give
Two $s to have caught those trout,
And as the sun was a*-out
To sink behind a .vale of fleecy clouds
I became thoroughly disgusted,
Threw down my pole and line
And came home busted. Do
You not think that fora'man of my avocation
This was sufficient provocation?

Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy a Great
Favorite.
The soothing properties of this
remedy, its pleasant taste and
prompt and permanent cures have i
made it a great favorite with people
everywhere. It is especially prized
by mothers of small children for
cold3, croup and whooping cough,
as it always affords quick relief, and
as it contains no opium or other
harmful drug, it may b9 given as
confidently to a baby as to an adult.

being cured says John S. Halloway.

so much time and money and suf

all hopes of recovery. I was so fee

could not even travel, but by acci
dent I was permitted to find a bot

taking several bottles I am entire
ly cured of that trouble. I am so
pleased with the result that I am
anxious that it be in reach of all
who suffer as I have.” For sale by
