To Cuke a Bohse of Blind Stag
gers.—Mr. J. W. Cross. a farmer
o( Dooly county, gives us tho fol
lowing recipe fortlio cure of horses
afflicted with blind staggers.
First inject vinegar and black
pepper freely into the nostrils. Se
cond, take a peicc of woolen cloth,
thoroughly w r et it with spirits of
turpentine, cover it with another
piece of dry cloth, and place both
pieces over tho eyes of the horse
aud apply a hot iron, i bird,
drench with strong red pepper tea,
Two bottles of this tea, after the. oth
er applications, have never failed
to effect a perfect cure. — Ilawkins
mile Dispatch.
It is all very well,perhaps toad
vise people to can sweet corn, for
the experience may be valuable in
sweetening their tempers, but the
corn will sour. If it is well done
it will look beautifully white, and
be sweet (if you add sugar enough
preparing it for the table); but re
quires so much boiling, and to be
canned so quickly and so hot, that
except in factories, people are apt
to hare bad luck with it. The
; g to do is to shave and scrape
the corn from the cobbs daily du
ring the season of surplus sweet
corn, to dry this at first on sheets
of tin in the sun then on sheets on
which it can be moved and mixed
frequently. In hot dry weather the
corn will dry enough in the sun, but
should the weather come on moist or
rainy, it must bo brought into the
house and dried slowly in the stove
oven, the door being open, upon
bricks over the stove, or in any sim
alar safe place. It must not scorch
or lie In masses so that it will ferment.
It is no “trick” to do this well, and
"it is sweeter and better, but not so
nice looking as the canned. It is on
account of the danger of having large
masses at once when rainy weather
comes on, that we advise drying some
daily. When dry, preserve it in bags

IT would require the scope of quite a large
volume to contain the good things^ that are
said about the Morning News by its cqntempo
raries of the Southern Press. It is almost daily
referred to as the
“THE BEST PAPER IN
THE SOUTH,”
‘the leading Georgia daily,” etc , and it is gen -
erally conceded to be in all respects a model
Southern newspaper.
This is the fame that the Morning News covets,
and no pains will be spared hereafter to make
it still worthier of the confidence nnd patronage
of the people of Georgia and Florida. The am
ple resources of the establishment will he devo
ted to the improvement of the paper in respect
to its already large facilities for gathering the
current news of the day, and its staff of special
correspondents has been reorganized with a view
to meeting every possible contingency tlat may
arise.
Although the Morning News has little or no
competition within the field of its circulation,
nevertheless no effort will be considered too ex
pensive that gives the
EARLIEST AND FRESHFST
information to its readers. In this respect tlier
will ho no relaxation of the endeavor to keep b
fa r ahead of all its contemporaries.
The features that have rendered tho pnper so
popular will be maintained. The editorial de
partment will be conducted with the same digni
fied thoughtfulness, con ervative vigor, and
earnest
Devotion H Principle
that have always characterized it. The racy
reliability cf the local, and the accuracy and
completeness of the commercial departmer t
will be kept at. the old standard, and im
provements will he made wherever they are
suggesicd by experience.
The Mornii g Nows is the only Savannah
paper that publishes the Associated Press
dispa'ches and ihe telegraphic market re
ports nuthorized by ihe Commercial Bureau
of New York City. In addition to this the
local market reports will be full and reli ble,
and will be accompanied by such comment
as will enable the business men of Georgia
and Florida to form estimates as accurate
and as intelligent ns if they were in the city.
