It is beautifully gotten up and well printed, and is really a complete hand-book of information, both for the garden and farm. It is peculiarly valuable to our southern growers, as it gives practical information about the seeds best adapted to our own section. Senator W. H.

Some one entered ths stable of Mr. S. E. Berry, who resides near Peiion, last Monday night and stele his One mare.

Persons sending obituary notices tn this nffinfl fnr nnhlinsfcinn must remember that a charge of one-half a cent is made for e?ery word over 100. In sending the notice, count the words and enclose the amount with the notice to insure publication. This rale applies to tributes of respect, memoriams, etc. By omitting a sentence in the "Editors Rounds'' the printer made us say last week that "Mr. W. Andrew Derrick, was an invalid." This is not the case. Mr. Derrick is as sound as a dollar of one hundred cent?; can eat three square meals a day with relishes between meals thrown in and good at any time for a ten hours' a j t_ mi i. j i. *_ i aay worK. ?nose who aon t Deueve s it just tackle him and see. What we wrote was that "Mr. John Brooker, the father-in-law of Mr. Derrick was an invalid." Mr. Brooker in his day and generation was an active and energetic citizen and his infirmatives is a direct blow to Lexington couDfcy as it is deprived of his valuable services.

The new Board of County Commissioners was in session last Saturday and transacted considerable business of public interest. Tee most important of which being the assignment of the members to look after the roads and bridges, with the fol a ' lowing result. Commissioner Rseder to the westem portion of the county, Supervisor Shealy, the State road and the southern part; Commissioner Fry, was given the Fork. It was decided not to aek for a reduction in the tax levy, but to allow it to remain as it was last year, 3J mills, in order to provide for the purchase of mules, improved road machinery and other necessary implements with a view of putting the roads of the county in a good traveling condition. We are glad that the Board ha3 taken this step and feel ! confident that if they carry out the present plans in refeience to road | improvement they will earn the well j done of their constituents. I Consumption is a human weed flourishing best in weak lungs. Like other weeds its easily destroyed while young; when old, sometimes impossible. Strengthen the lungs as you o c i would weak land and the weeds will disappear. The best lung fertilizer is Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork is good too, but it is very hard to digest. The time to treat consumption is when you begin trying to hide it from yourself. Others see it, you won't. Don't wait until you can't deceive yourself any longer. Begin with the first thought to take Scott's Emulsion.. If it isn't really consumption so much the better; you will soon forget it and be better for the treatment. If it is consumption you can't expect to be cured at once, but if you will begin in time and will be rigidly regular in your treat Ml ment you will win. Scott's Emulsion, fresh air, rest all you can, eat all you can, that's the treatment and that's the best treatment. r, We will send you HBe sure that this picture in the form of a label is on the wrapper of every bottle of SCOTT & BOWNE, 409 Pearl St., N.
