It is not an imcon raon thing in
this county to see people who are
over eighty years old able to lie up

The epidemic an ■■■• edtle is
still waging. Mr. W. I>. Mason re
| eent’y lost a very fine cow. It- is
j supposed that ihe recent eofd spell
caused them to have something like
pneumonia. Ihe cows are taken
with a sudden lowing and trembling
and 'gradually grow weaker until
they die. Mr. W. 'J’. -Cochran, who
raises a great many cattle, says that
this can be cured if commenced in
time, by cutting a bole through the
loose skin under me throat and tieing
through it a ’ alher string thor
oughly saturated wiiii spirits of tuf
peiitme, Mr. Cochran says that he
has tried this remedy several t tries
and lias never known it to fail.

necessary to state that he never got
the shingles
Two sports, or perhaps more cor
rectly stated, two professional men
who suddenly developed into sporting
men and donned the huntsman’s j
garb we-e very cleverly “taken in” by
an ingenious farmer the other day
The farmer had a very large tree
which he wished c-vv a ted into shin
gle blocks, but the t of felling the
giant as the fori s: was one that he
;desired not t< utu.vrtnko. While lie
was standing a respectful distance
m dilating over the matter along
' came the above named sports. They
had been hunting all day,- they said
. and had not seen anything worth
shooting at. “Why,” said the farmer
‘T saw a fine squirrel uj> that large
i June tree.” Might they cut it down ?
Yts, he supposed they might if they
would cut vi se to the ground. Two
axes w< re t rotaired and the two were
s. ">ll cutting enthusiastically at the
r >..1 of the big tree. After about two
hours of hard and wearisome labor
> they rewarded by seeing the great
I trunk sway to slid fro and fell with a
[ mighty crash. But. they did not see
! any squint 1. “Much oblige F> vein

is down without labor or cost to mo.

one in these wools for over twelve
months.

Judicial circles. The Judge is well-known
throughout the state and possesses the lust
qualities which go to make a Kentucky
gentlemen honored wherever he is known.
A few days ago a Kentucky I'ost reporter
called upon Judge I;ice, who in the follow

tism; slight at first, but so. >n developing into
Sciatic rheumatism, which began first w ith
acute shooting pains in the hips, gradually
extending downward to mv feet.
“ My condition became so bad that I even
tually lost all power of my legs, and then
the liver, Kidneys and bladder and in fact,
mv whole system, became deranged.
“In r- s, attended by my soil John. I
went to Jiii t Springs, Ark., hut was not much
benefited by some months stay ihere. Jly
liver was actually dead, and a dull persislent
y in in its legem kept, me on the rack all
the time. In 1800 I was reappointed Circuit
