And Fin plowin' in the bottoms For the harvest that it yields. When the noonday hour approaches. And I hear the darkies sing? I'm generally a thinkin' Of that old gonrd by the spring? Talk erbout your "oaken bucket"? Onr old spring's best that flows! Down beneath the hill it rises Where the fragrant wild mint grows; From its sandy bed it gushes Crystal clear?a beauteous thing? And above it, from a sapling. Hangs the old gonrd by the spring! I've indulged in pop and soda And the "chemically pure," Tried the "privilege" and the dispensary, But my taste they can't allure; T rrmt-if iinnr now orvncrvoHnno 1 UVtf V waun JVM4 **vn vvmvvvmvmv.

Boa&ess Cannot be Cured By local applications, as they cansot reach the deceased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafnesB, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is i?e result, and unless the inflammation can be taken oat and this tube restored to its normal condition, bearing will be destoyed forever; nine cades oat of ten mre caased by catarrh, which is nothing bat an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

R J Redding, director of the Georgia Experimental Station, has sent the following letter, which is an answer based on practi W CA^CllCUK< My Dear Sir: I have your favor making inquiry in regard to a mehod discovered by this Station to prevent winter killing of oats. In reply I beg to say, that Bulletin 44 on wheat, oats, rye and barley, issued in September, 1899, which gave a detailed description of the method, is out of print, so great the demand has been for it. The following is an outline the method: Pirst prepare the ground as it should be done, by deep plowing and harrowing off the surface. This should be done early in October or before; or at such a time .in the fall as the ground may be found in good order. In this lattitude I advise sowing fall oats from the 15th of October to the 1st of November. The plan in sowing the oats in open furrows is 16 to 18 inches apart. Bun furrows from northeast to south west so as to shield from northwest winds. These farrows are opend by a five inch shovel on a small seed and fertilizer distributor. The spout conducti^ ing the seed oats into the furrow, should be immediately behind the plowshare that opens the furow. The seed fail into the furrow and are covered more or less by the soil falling immediately behind the plow. This will be sufficient covering. The wheel follows immediately behind running directly in the furrow and presses the loose soil on the bottom of the furrow on the seed oats. This covers the seed sufficiently. Occasionally a skip of a foot or two may be made, but this will be covered by the first rainfall washing in the soil from the sides of the furrow. Before sowing the oats we fertilize with a mixture of 200 lbs. of acid phosphate, 50 lbs of muriate of potash and 250 lbs of cotton seed meal. This fertilizer should not be put in direct contact with the seed oats. It may be distributed by a machine running ahead to be followed by another machine which sows the grain, or yon may get a double spout distributor which will sow both fertilizer and the seed oats in the same furrow and at the same time; the cats being sown from the foward spout, and the fertilizer from the rear. The oats will come up in the bottom of the furrow which wiil be three inches or more in depth and will be protected from severe freezes, because of the depth of the plants, and especially the crowns of the plants below the general surface of the soil. Each succeeding rainfall will wash a little soil and cover the plants a little deeper. Planting the seed in the open furrow give a very deep rooting to the plants, making it exceedingly hard to pull up a bunch after they have made considerable growth. We have tried this plan for seven or eight years, and we have realy had anr Bprinna ininrv. Tn fftP.K nnlv once have we had a cold sufficiently severe to injure them when bowq in this way. Very truly yours, R. S. Redding, Director. Abscess. W. H. Harrison, Cleveland, Miss., writes, Aug. 15, 1902: "I want to say a word of praise for Ballard's Snow Liniment. I stepped on a nail, which caused the cords in my leg to contract and an abscess to rise in mv knee, and the doctor told me that I would have a stiff leg, so one day I went to J. F. Lord's drug store (who is now in Denver, Colo.) He recommended a bottle of Snow Liniment; 1 got a 50c size, and it cured my leg. It is the best liniment in the world. Abscesses, with few exceptions, are indicative of constipation or debility. They may, however, of constipation or debility. They may, however, reii # 1 I r Bulb irom Diows or irom ioreign bodies, introduced into the skin or fieBh, such as splinters, thorns, etc. Sold by The Kaufmann Drug Co. To Shut Out Negroes. A philantropic organization in New York city baa announced < a plan to colonize 300 families of negroes from the South in each county in Indiana and Southern Michigan. In the regions named there are few negroes, and the whites are aroused over the prospect of having the race question brought to their doors. An organization is in process of, formation to discourage the negroes, some of whom have already arrived in Porter county.* the idea being to adopt a policy of non intercouse with the blacks, refusing to employ them, sell them supplies, or rent or sell real estate to them. warm m m _ ja _ Emergency meaicmes. It is a great convenience to have at hand reliable remedies for use in cases of accident and tor slight injuries and ailments. A good liniment and one that is fast becoming a favorite if not a household necessity is Chamberlain's Pain Balm. By applying it promptly to a cut, bruise or burn it allays the pain and causes the injury to heal in about one-third the time usually reqired, and as it is an antiseptic it prevents any danger of blood poisoning.- When Pain Balm is kept at hand a sprain may be treated before inflammation sets in, which insures a quick recovery.

The committee which has the matter in charge is said to have already raised more than $5,000. One of the leaders declares that if the powers do not intervene within thirty days a regiment of 800 Greeks will be ready to sail from New York to fight the Turks. Sour Stomach. When the quantity of food taken is too large or the quality too rich, sour stomach is likely to follow^and especially so if the digestion has been weakened by constipation. Eat slowly and not too freely of easily digested food. Masticate the food thoroughly. Let five hours elapse between meals, and when you feel a fullness and weight in the region of the stomach after eating, take Chamberlains's Stomach and Liver Tablets and the sour stomach may be avoided.

The Columbia Evening Record, a paper that has gained a little notoriety as the discoverer of?well, mare's nests, is authority for the statement that on last Thursday it was rumored on the streets of Columbia "that one of the attorneys for the prosecution in the Tillman case would go before Chief Justice Pope, at Spartanburg, and ask that the order appointing Judge Townsend to preside at the Lexington court be rescinded. The only attorney interested in the case seen was Col. P. H. Nelson, representing the defense, who, when ask about the rumor, said that one of the attorneys for the other side had informed him that such was their intention. Col. Nelson said that the defense would take no action in the matter one way or the other, but that they would be satisfied with any circuit judge for a fair trial. "It is not known whether the application will be in the form of a motion on the point to be raised that Judge Townsend is the Judge legally named to preside at Fairfield on September 21. ? Za Praise of Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. "Allow me to give you a few words in praise of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy," says Mr. John Hamlett, of Eagle Pass, Texas. "1 suffered one weeK witn bowel trouble and took all kinds of medicine without getting any relief, when my friend, Mr. C. Johnson, a merchant here, advised me to take this remedy. After taking one dose I felt greatly relieved and when I had taken the third dose was entirely cured. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting this great remedy in the hands of mankind."
