TillOt (iI.K IMXi- I don't believe wo Juivo had a drop of rain since Saturday eve ning. TliO farmers iiavo been very much act back ori account of j*o IT) 11C li rain recently. Hut if ! there should be a long dry spell right after the wot spell it will damage some crops very much. Oats and wheat that were in the shock during tho wet weather ure about ruined. I have talked with some farmers who toll mo they saved their wheat; some of them by hauling it and putting it in the barn, and others had theirs ; threshed out before it was dam- I aged. There is a man here with a phonograph. The instrument will ! reproduce music, speeches or ! anything such as herding cattle, | scenes in the courtroom, etc. The reproduction is just the same as if you were actually listening to I the delivery from the original I parties. Every word is spoken as plainly as a person can speak. | Saturday evening after the facto ry was shut down there was a | number of boys around where the exhibition was going on, little fel lows just from the factory. Mr. Hamilton noticing their wistful and anxious manners told the manager of the instrument to give them a “hearing.” The little fellows eagerly grasped the rub ber tubes and placed the “nozzle” to tlieir ears. The pleasure they seemed to derive from the privi- j lege was enough to repay many i times over the trillo it cost Mr. j Hamilton. Now, I hope Mr. Hamilton will pardon me for us- j ing his name iu this connection, but while these little fellows were, enjoying tin; treat I was thinking, j yes, thinking, how much pleas- J anter it is to all concerned to treat with kindness llioso who | through misfortune or otherwise! j may be obliged to obey thedirec j tious of those more fortunate. A i kind word or act will insure more J j faithful service from an employe than any amount of unnecessary fuultfiudiug aud harshness. Butl j there are exceptions to all rules, j There are some people who will; ; not bear kind treatment. They I will soon begin to act as if the i whole concern belonged to them, j While much is beiug said and written about tho silver question and so on, and many people want- j ing silver put on a parity with j gold and all such stuff, 1 say while ail this is going on tho peo ple who work for Trion M’f’g Co. are being paid off in gold. Last week when 1 opened my pay en velope the yellow wheels rolled out. It looked mighty pretty, but it was not worth a cent more to me than a national bank note, or so many silver dollars. People who are talking about the People’s Party giving them i better times, if they would look at! the situation seriously and with a desire to learn just how dividing j among ourselves here at the j South will prove disastrous to the | interest of tho laboring class they surely would not lend their influ-j once to accomplish their own iu- j jury. I wish I could do or say something to get the people to look before they leap. The Trion Singing Society lias been re-organized and tho follow ing officers elected, to-wit. ltob’t A.

Then we crossed the ridge and was too late for preaching. On the third Sunday in June, Miss Leacy Scoggin and Joseph Everett were made one by Squire J. I*. Johnston. Monday morning we see a gen eral rally among farnieis, making war with the grass, and while it was rainy some of them cleaned out their fence corners and fixed up their fences that cattle had pushed about for the weeds that were inside.

One of the guards, Wm. Patter son, jumped off the car, and by some cause was thrown under the wheels and run over, mang ling Ins body frightfully, causing death soon thereafter. He was brought to the camps where an inquest was held, a verdict ren deied accordingly. Capt. Parrott procured a nice burial case and sent his remains to his home near Buchanan, Ga. If no mishap an iron bridge will span Lula Lake by the last of this week.

Atkins, a renter on It. A. Keith’s farm. The circumstances are as follows: A few evenings ago Mr. Keith sent his two youngest sous, Les ter and Cleveland to the pasture to drive up the cows. Mr. Atkins’ cows were iu the same pasture with Mr. Keith’s. The cow that caused so much fuu aud excite ment is known ns old Dun. " hen the two boys reached Mie pasture and had walked to where the cows were grazing, Old Dun was taken with something a little like hydrophobia aud not wanting the boys to get too near her, waited until they were in about fifteeu steps when she made a break for them, Cleveland says with her head up aud tail oyer the dash board. The fence was about two hundred yards away, aud Lester says tbev and the cow had it nip aud tuck. Every time the cow nipped they tucked. Finally they ! took a bush and stayed iu it until i Mr. Keith became uneasy about them aud went to see what was keeping them. He got the boys out of the bush and started slip ping along to keep Old Dun from finding them, but all at once Old Dun came out of the bushes. Mr. Keith is a minister, but on this occasion his congregation broke up without the benediction. Ev ery one went his own wav as fast as possible. When they got home they were frightened so that it took all three of them one hour a piece to tell of their adventure. The family was awakened all through the night by Mr. Keith calling to liis wife: “Halite, head Old Dun.” Old Duu died the next day. It was a big loss to Mr. Atkins, but yet he says it is so funny. Gentlemen, look at the grass over here. Uncle Simon. WATEHVILLE. Mr. George Clark caught and killed a big owl in his hen-house last week. , Mr. Searell the Primitive Bap tist preacher preached again the 3rd Sunday in this month at Wa terville. I hear that Mr. Will Clark has rented out his saw-mill and is j acting as sawyer for Clay Pur j year. 1 have tried several ways plant j ing peas and 1 like sowing them j among early corn just before plow ing to lay bv. thereby plowing | peas in,which will come upa good coat of vines to protect laud from the hot sun of August and Sep ; tember. The vines are a good fertilizer. If you want to make peas I would advise you to plant | tolerable fair land such as you can make corn on from 15tli of ! May to the 15tli of June; rows2l-2 | feet apart and drop about one | dozen peas in a bunch two feet apart, not strow them. Cultivate them until they get the start of the grass, say two plowings and one hoeing is enough. I prefer whipper will peas forstock andlatd If you have a level or nearly so piece of sedge land and want to make it rich, I’ll tell .you lioiv. Turn your sedge under in Septtm ber this fall; then next year you will have a crop of rag weeds to come up. Iu like manner turn them under last of September and in Slay or June following, sow about one bushel of peas to the acre and plow them in with a scooter and wing on it, and the following September turn under pea vines. I hear that Mr. Spencer War then has ten acres of corn and ho expects one hundred bushels of corn to each acre. Our farmers should do a great deal of worn in winter to make a small quanti ty of land rich,as it pays so much better to cultivate rich land than poor. There is hardly any cotton planted in this section, I suppose about one-tenth of 1890’s acreage. I see more oats being harvested than usual and they are fine this year. From the prospect there will be more corn made this year than last. If we are laying by we ought to plow just deep enough to kill the little grass. It might turn dry after this rain. If any oue wants turnip seed to make salad next spring, I have them. Tell Hunter that an old fox and and four or five young ones as large as a house cat, are using near my place. Your scribe is having lumber sawed to build a now two-story house. Battler. RINGGOLD. GA. Editor Messenger: I have no ticed several squibs and sliugs in your papei recently about the senatorial race in this district, which I think emanate from a source not at all friendly to the Democratic party, and particular ly about the primary. Now, it is a conceded fact that it is Catoosa’s time to name the man for Senator, and in ordering the primary was our mode of making tli9selection. We have presented to the other counties a good tuan and an able oue; one who will rellect credit on the district and oue who has the nerve and manhood to stand up for the people and their rights withhut regard to class.' It is reasonable to expect a few dis gruntled and disappointed office seekers would fight organization and encourage independents. That is their old trade. The times are too serious for democrats to split up and the course of the would be leaders will be watched closely. Democrat. Scrofula cured, even in its worst forms, by I*. P.
