Americus Recorder: Mr. W. M.
Martin, of Terrell county, one of the
mort progressive farmers of that sec
tion, cultivates yearly forty acres of
rice, which produces from twelve
hundred to fifteen hundred bushels.
This is a fine showing in regard to
yield, and as to the quality, it is
equal to the rice raised on tho sea
coast. Our section is admirably
adapted td the cultivation of ali kinds
of grain.
Americus Recorder: The Ivey grist
mill and gin in Dranesville, Marion

If the city council adopts the loeise
mule ordinance as offeied and pub
lished they will give a vast amount
of unnecessary trouble to the best
customers Columbus merchans
have —the “wagon trade” —as it is
called. If the ordinance was intend
ed only to prevent the turning ot
loose hots s and mules into the
streets to graze and to go at large
without any responsible oversight at
all, it was a most timely measure.
But the terms in which the ordinance
is presented do not restrict its scope
to that purpose, but makes all teams
left, no matter lor how short a time,
unattended, liable to be taken in
charge by policemen and driven to a
public stable, where the owner will
have costs and tees to pay before be
can resume control ot his property.
The aidermen are perfectly right to
pass such measures as will protect
the lives and property ot cur people
from probable harm from any quat
ter, yet if farmers’ teams standing in
the streets without an attendant, are
considered dangerous, it would be
better for the city to hire an exira
man or two to take sp cial over ight
of them than to annoy tne mer
chants’ best customers by taking
their teams to the stables, while they
are in the stores trading, and thus
imposing a charge upon them that
will only irritate and breed bad feel
ings. We do hope the ordinance,
when passed will not be susceptible
ofany such interpretation as that
which seems to us the only one—
but that loose hors sand mules will
be kept cut of ibs s reets, for chil
dren are never safe from harm wi.eti
streets are full of loose running
mules and hor es.
The word “tariff” is derived from
Tarafa, a seaport of Spain, about
twenty miles of G braltar, where the
Moors, during their supremacy in
Spain, levied contributions according
to a certain scale, on vessels enter
ing the Mediterranean sea.

At the present prices, ten acres in Hops
will bring morn money than live hundred

is a consumer or dealer who thinks the

Hope are $1.25 per lb., and the quantity
and quality of Hops in Hop Bitters and
the price remains the same as formerly.

Thussingran unknown writer of
the Schenectady Union: Don’t kill
the toads, the ugly t ads, that hop
around your door. Eich meal the
load doth eat a hundred bugs or
more. He sits around with aspect

N twitiistanding the proficiency
ot our splendidly organized Are de
partment the following advice from
the Home Insurance Company may
not be ill-timed : “Firemen would do
well io bear In mind that on- gallon
of water at the bottom of afire will
do moretoquench it than ten gallons
at the top. ‘Piay low,’is the true
motto of the fireman.- To play on
the roof ot a house on fire is to waste
water; be sure to play low; get the
water ni ar the fire, and then you
! me l not pour on a river. A few gal
lons at the bottom of a fire will rise
! in clou Is of s’eain when the Hie is
I rising, and will quench it, A gill of
water thrown into the bottom ot a
I grate equals a quart thrown on top.
i For a similar reason water on the
I windward side is more rff-ctive than
on the leew .rd. The big blaze on the
> leeward looks fearful but it cannot
| be effected by playing on that side.
Throw water in toe bed of coals un
ifier the retort that is sucking th-m,
i and it wifi go out—that is to say, play
I at the bottom of the windward side
lot a fire and you take the surest.

that, in point of fact, a ruffian is

arealmost always methods ot cjui

years of great suffering from that dread
ful disease, Indigestion ordysyepsla, with
great nervous prostration and debility,
caused by biliousness, disordered kidneys
and constipation, much of the time unable
to. attend to my business, dining which

great expense ixbausted the skill on
many ot our most eminent phy
siclans, but continued to grow
worse. I have been cured by
four bottles of your Lemon E ixlr, and
am now a well man. I have recommend
ed It to many of my friends suff-ring with
the same class of disease; It has not fsih d
in any case to give perfect relief, The
L mon Elixir at the same time perma
nently relieved me ot a most severe case
ot plies ot many years' standing.
