Rabbits were scaroc during the recent snow, It was too deep for them, and they didn’t propose to crawl under. Last F.ilay was Washington’* birthday. Wonder if (he immort al’s eyes first dawned on such a scene as last Friday presented? The snow of last week was the largest in this seefien for several years—averaging about eight inch es deep. Fire is beginning to recognize the brush heap Bt careful that it dont get to your fence; some times its flames have a devouring appetite and are not easily checked A baud of Egyptians passed through town Saturday. Where the wandering tribe is bound for, no ene ever knows. “Egypt, oh, Egypt!”—the land ot bondage. “Eden, oh, Eden!”—man’s fall. McELREE’S WiNE OF CARDUI for Weak Nerves. Capt. T. J. Carr of Maysville, is doing a big business ia ths Guano trade. He it one of Bank* ener getic business men and good citi zen* —worthy of a large patronage from the people. It is a good rule to aceept only snob medicines as are known to be worthy of confidence. It has been the expe rience of thousands that Yyer’s Cher ry Pectoral is iko best medicine ever used for throat and lun? diseases. Mr. Jim. Varner, a young man living in Mr, Thompson’s farm, had the misfortune to get his foot badly cut oa last Monday, The wound was very severe nnd requir ed amputation of the big toe.H'ha operation was performed rhk Dr, Lockhart, assisted by Dirffiliydeu.

If yo don’t want to force editors to lie to yen, doa’t have the inapu der.oe to ask who their correspondence are 9 It dosen’t concern yon. Mr. Jno. E, Chambers, an old and respected citizen, died at his home, here, last Thursday, and was buried Saturday. The old gentle man had been complaining since last. August. His death was from a natural run down of the machin ery. Doubtless, there was not a diseased organ in the system Mr. Chambers leaves a host of relatives and fiends to sorrow his death. Later nows say Mr. Joha E Cham bers died from a cascer ol the stomach. Correspondents are again wak ing up to the responsibility that rests upon them of making the Journal newsy and interesting to their county and friend|. Nothing speaks more for the intelligence of a section, than to see its people keep each other posted through their county papers. Net, some have the imaginary feeling of an acquaintance with the editors, be fore they would write. Such can only remind you of the one who stood by and seen his fellow-man drown, because he had not receiv ed an introduction. If they ever seen each other again, very likely thoy were toe far apart to waat an introduclion. The parties who Wire injured in the recent eyclona, are said la be doiDg well. Their escape from death was critical. Tharoals are now in a splendid condition tor hauling. It would be nse lsß tor overseers to disturb tha now.

Rover, The keeping of regular account* brings about system. It stops the small leaks, and enables the tann er to look over his receipts and ®x psnditures at the end cf the year, and take some reckoning as to his prosperity. It enables him to cal culate what particular branch of his labors is most profitable; and it enables him to know how much he owes, and to make intelligent set tlements. In many instances it sav es expensive Uw-KHits, and keeps him at peace with bis neighbo s. A 3 or 4 quire simple entry book, snd a small er one for nse as a cask book, will be all that is recessary.
