Then J one of the passengers got off and started t back over the track at a leisurely pace,and t pretty soon the train slowly followed him. \ Several people were anxious to know r what was going on, and inquiries flew ? thick and fast.

As there is so much farming that is not jrofitable, a question will naturally be isked looking for a qualification, as to vhat is meant by "really good farming." The Philadelphia Reeord, in discussing this tame subject, says it does not mean simply ttirring the soil, sowing the seed and harvesting the crops, but from the beginning )f the year to its end, there should be a tonstant production in every possible raanler. While the crops are growing the future food is being prepared, but as it is mrvested itshould be made still more serviceable by being converted into some ligher-priced product. While an acre of and may produce fifty bushels of corn on ts part, yet that corn may nearly all find ts way back to the soil that produced it, jnly that portion being sold that will rejay the cost and labor of converting it into -.oof *,/vrb- wool miiir\ muscle, or whatev hour behind titae now and can't stop again this forenoon. He Had Misgivings Still.?a drummer who runs his business in South Carolina was in a certain neighborhood where the crops were very fine, and where most of the people were rejoicing over the prospect of plenty. Several of the people were together, and one of them concluded to call on a chronic grumbler of that section to hear what he had to say about the crops. But he, too, acknowledged that the crops were very fine, aud it seemed that even he had no complaint against Providence. However, after acknwledging that everything was splendid, he added?"But I'm monstrously afraid that the big crop has so impoverished the ground that we shall make hardly anything next year."? Greensboro Workman. A Novel Baptism.?a correspondent sends the following, which he thinks too good to be lost: "One of our citizens has a daughter about three years old, who accompanied her mother to witness a baptism. The next day shesaid she was going to have a baptism herself, and arranged her dolls along the edge of the bath tub. Shejjrepared one of them for immersion. ( Her mother, hearing the child's voice, ad- ( vanced: to witbip.hearing distance and ( heard the following^address to the candi- j date: 'I now baptize you in the name of ( the Father, and the Son and into the hole ( you (ro.'" I A Poor Town.?"How do you like the J town ?" asked a white raan of Sam John- i A/Wlj n vv*f ? 7 ir it may contribute. Cotton may not offer juite so great an advantage in this direcion as do grain crops, yet it offers better ;han most persons suppose. The lint is not he great impoverisherof the soil; it is the teed. This can be returned on the same >Ian as the really good farmer returns his torn. It can be converted into animal products and the necessary waste returned to the field. In case the farmer finds it nore profitable to sell the seed than to feed t whole, let him do so, taking pay in cotton meal to be fed to stock. But it must )e returned, else the land is seriously obbed, just as corn land is seriously robbed jy shipping the grain away. The farmer who can so manage as to secure the largest irops, and return to his soil the larger portion by disposing of that which is more eadily saleable in 'some other shape, will gradually become wealthy, though the actlal receipts may be apparently small. ECONOMY?"WASTE NOT, WANT NOT." It takes a great deal of calculation and >conomy to get along, in the world now-alays, and it Is not every one that is fully jqual to the task. Some men plan, experment and economize all their life, and ifter all fail of finding the sure road to :ompetence. Now economy, thrift, accumulation of property, lies more in the method of saving than in making. One can care to waste nothing without being niggardly, ind a careful persotrcan make an old article last and do the work of two seasons, where most men buy new every year. When you get a new implement take 3 care of it; when you make a crop save it, J not only from the weather, but from loss ' in the house. Much is lost by rats, by a leak in the roof or a hole in the floor. Rust and rain wear out the plows and hoes faster than labor. I With a little wire two pair of old traces n will make a good pair and save you a dol- a lar. A new bottom to a cart will some- a times prevent the need of getting one for y a twelvemonth. A cultivator and a plow r are worth more than two plows. Corn ground is worth more than whole corn for v horses, but for no other stock, counting jthe time and toll corn at the mill. r So with a hundred things. One must \ calculate and think. Ho must observe s and compare. The only secret about it is h to take good care of a thing after you get } it, to. save your money after you make it. r Don't spend a dollar when fifty cents will j 4K/> "ftaA f2o,f Krvffnm nrlnoc lirhon L lucct uic caoc. uwim/ui pi i**??%,? i you buy. TIME TO SEED GRASS. u It is possible for grass to do well from t >eed sown any month or day in the year, j yet all seasons are not equally favorable, r Nature plants the grasses chiefly in the t late summer or early autumn, soon after e the seeds are matured, and under favorable p conditions the seeds germinate and make r considerable growth the same fall. Clover i seed left to nature's care is protected by its t covering of husk from germinating until the followingspring. Some of our grasses i are so hardy that they will live through \ the winter under favorable conditions, g even if the seeds have scarcely more than \ germinated. Cold alone will rarely kill young timothy red top, yet il sown where i the ground is exposed to alternate freezing and thawing, so that the plants are pulledup and left with their roots exposed upon j the surface to freezing and drying, they c must surely perish. Were it not for the depredations of c grasshoppers and crickets, early autumn is perhaps the best time in the year for j sowing most varieties of grass seed, the I precise time to be determined each year ^ by the condition of the soil and the char- \ acter of the weather.

Grass roots need the j protection of their own leaves, but it will t not do to smother the plauts under too <] heavy a mulch of rank leaf growth. The y favorable period is from the last of July to t the middle of September. 1 ? c Butter-Making, Then and Now.? f No branch of rural industry has met with t greater change in its process during the f last twenty years than butter-making. Then the milk was set in shallow pans <] upon pantry shelves, in the cellar, or in a rare cases in a properly constructed milk- s house. The dash churn was almost uni- t versally in use, even when the dog-power v was employed. The process of churning 1' was continued until the butter was "gar- s nered" in a mass, which was then lifted t rrom the churn to a huge wooden bowl, 1 and the subsequent working aqd salting s were laborious and damaging to the text- F ure of the product. The introduction of d improved creamers and improved churns r has changed all that. By means of the t former, the milk is set in deep cans, cut v off from all contact with the outside atmosphere and any possible odors or itnpu- J rities. In the modern churns the butter is separated from the other constituents of v the cream' without breaking the globules, : j, and the process is arrested while it is in the ; s Efranular stage, 'ine DunermiiK is easny | v ilrawn off, and the subsequent work- j v ing and salting are done in the churn. It f is easier and cheaper to make uniformly j c ?ood butter by the modern processes than : r it was to make tolerable butter by the old : r] md unscientific method.?American Agri- 1 n ?ulturist. i c ? ? j o Better Cultivation.?I have come to ! u the conclusion that the true way to increase fi the production is to cultivate less land, but cultivate it better than it has been our a practice of doing. Now, no one man can c plow, plant and properly cultivate twenty u icres of corn, and do the other work on the a Farm. If twenty acres is the quantity of r land that has usually been in corn on a Farm, it will be much better to plant ten n Acres only, and let the other ten acres be in ? ilover or blue grass. By pasturing the hogs on clover, not near so much corn will I v be required to finish the fattening process, a [)r, if the ten acres is devoted to pasture o for sheep, a nice increase to the income of the farm is secured with but little labor I v required in atteuding to the sheep. And j p now I will give the result of my experience | ]< in lessening the number of acres planted j to corn. A few years ago I thought I must i a plant each year twenty acres in corn, and j f< my crop was generally about six hundred ii bushels. I concluded, however, to reduce I the twenty to fifteen acres. But I found I C still raised about six hundred bushels. ! d rhen I reduced it to twelve acres; and be-1 ?ause of ditching and better cultivation, I ; d raised six hundred and eighty bushels. In I the spring of 1882,1 ditched still more, ; h And planted only ten acres in corn, but my ; a jrop was six hundred bushels. This ex- j n periment has convinced me that we can in- ' urease the yield by reducing the acres. h Corn Bread for Vigor.?Corn is the j o pioneer bread of this country. The lath- j h srs of the younger generations were, in o 2ases, raised on corn bread and pork meat.

J After the assassin Guiteau had been con- t 'icted and sentenced by the court to be t langed for killing President Garfield, he t tood up in his place and pronounced a f withering curse on every one connected s rith the trial. Little was thought of it at t he time. It was regarded as a fitting c limax of his ravings throughout that > emarkable case. Guiteau declared that i nisfortune would attend every one con- t lected with his trial. Since then Guiteau's 8 urse has impreased itself upon the minds f superstitious people by the singular nanner in which it has apparently been f ulfilled. i The jury was composed of twelve strong i nd healthy men. The foreman was in t omfortable circumstances and was esti- j nated to be worth $50,000. Within a year u fter the trial he lost his money and is t iow reduced to the level of a day laborer, a Four members of the jury are dead, and i i ...ul I -r early every one nas ueeu visiteu wim j ome kind of misfortune. v District Attorney George B.

The following is a brief summary of he celebrated case of the lynching of 0. \ Culbreath in Edgefield county on the vening of the 27th of September, 1885: In September, 1885, William Hammond fas shot and killed in Edgefield county, t the residence of Mrs. Fannie Prescott Culbreath, near Cumberland Church. On he night of the assassination he was PnlKmath arm nf ATra SftCU uy iUCUipilia uuiuiutuiij UK.. ? - Culbreath, to stay at the house, as he Culbreath) was going out to spend the light. Mrs. Culbreath had been separated rom titer husband, O. T. Culbreath, l'or ome time. Hammond was shot in Mrs. kilbreath'syard while he was with one of ier children, about half past eight o'clock, it the inquest there was no evidence to isten the guilt upon any one and a verlict was accordingly rendered to the ef3ct that the deceased had been shot by ersons unknown. On the 27th of Sepember O. T. Culbreath was arrested on he charge of having murdered Hamnond. After his arrest he was taken to idgefield court house. At about eight 'clock on the night of his arrest, thirtyve masked men rode into town, entered he office of Gary and Evans, who had een retained to defend Culbreath, and yhere the accused was then in consultaion with his attorney, and ordered the infortunate inan to go with them. The awvers were covered with pistols of some f the lynchers, while others went into the ack room, where the victim had.tried to iide himself, $pd shot him. Culbreath ried ojif that ne was shot to death, and egged them not to shoot any more. They hereupon took Culbreath and dragged lim out of the office and carried him ibout a mile from town, Culbreath begging most piteously for mercy. Here, robably thinking that Culbreath was lear death's door, they again shot him hree or four more times and then left him or dead on the roadside. Some of the citi;ens hearing the firing went out in that diection and met Culbreath making his way >ack to the village. They assisted him o a vehicle and took him to the jail, where ie received prompt medical attention. He ingered through the night in great agony, md died at 5 O'clock in the morning. This is the crime with which upwards >f thirty citizens of Edgefield are charged. Among the prisoners is Memphis Cul>reath, a son of the murdered man.* The nurder was so aggravated that public opinondemanded a rigid investigation. This vas had, with the result that the present defendants were arrested. They remained n jail at Edgefield for a short time, and hen were bailed. TO RESTORE T BATTLE GROUND. Judge David Schenck and Messrs. Julius V. Gray, J. \V. Scott and D. W. C. Ben>ow, of Greensboro, procured a charter for he "Guilford battle ground company," vhich was ratified March 7th, 1887; and he company was organized at Greensboro, \lay Gth, 1887. The object of this compaly is to purchase 100 acres of land in Guilord county on which was fought the leverest part of the battle between the American forces under General Nathaniel >reene and the British forces under Lord ^ornwallis, on the loth day of March, 1781. It was the hardest fought battle of the American revolution, and more soldiers vere killed in proportion to the number rngaged than in any other. The British ost one-third of their army; the Ameri;ans about one-fifth. Though Cornwallis vas captured at Yorktown the 19th day of October, 1781, it was at Guilford court louse that the race began. The immedi ite result 01 tnis victory was tne evacua,ion of North Carolina by the enemy and he restoration of the American authority, ind in its train, and as a necessary sequel, ollowed the abandonment of South Caroina and Georgia by the British and the apture Of (jtornwallis at Yorktown and he peace that gave us liberty?and the \merican Union. The ground on which the battle was ought is very little changed and every )oint of interest on it can yet be located iccurately, and with little cost can be reitored exactly as it was in 1781. It will :ost about $2,000 to purchase and restore he grounds. When the grounds are redeemed, we ihall then ask congress, the legislature and >ur citizens to aid in erecting suitable nonuments on the place. The company las a force now putting the grounds in irder, and will commence building a neat :ottage for the keeper next week. They vill erect a monument, a modest granite )lock, to Colonel Arthur Forbes, in a few ,veeks.?Charlotte Chronicle. HOW TO PREVENT BILLIOUSNESS. Several correspondents who are afflicted vith what is termed "spring billiousness,"> ire interested to know how it may be irevented. Billiousness is not, as many jeople suppose, a disease of the liver, but jertains-almost altogether to the stomach. It i? chiefly the result of over-eating, eatng too freely of sweets, pastry, fats and lighly seasoned dishes. The cold, tonic lir of the winter months antidotes the )ad influence of these digressions in diet n some degree; but as the warm, relaxng weather of spring comes on, the itomach begins to fail more perceptibly in ts efforts to accomplish tho unnecessary md injurious labor imposed upon it. Inligestion is the result. By-and-by the joor stomach gets so far behind in its vork that it is altogether overwhelmed ind disabled, and the difficulty culmilotpQ in n billions attack, which is noth ng more or less than a cessation of work >n the part of the stomach. The overvorked organ needs rest. A billious atack can always be prevented by giving he stomach rest by fasting for a meal or wo before the final crash comes. No orjan in the body will endure more abuse ind still patiently continue its work than he stomach. But finally forbearance :eases to be a virtue, and the faithful servant rebels against abuse. Correct and )roperly regulate the diet, and there will >e no more trouble with billious attacks at my season of the year ?Good Health. Blueuirds.?Mrs. Treat, in her "Home Studies in Nature," says of bluebirds: vVhen a pair of bluebirds succeed in rearng three broOds in a season, in the auumn these broods unite and stay with the jarents, making a little flock of fourteen. Vll the autumn through they keep togeth;r, feeding from the same bdshes?poke, impelopsis, and other wild berries?and ipon stray insects. The first cold days of )ecember send them to cedar swamps, vhere great numbers congregate. Here, oo, large flocks of robins keep them com>any. But each mild day brings the blue>irds from their retreat back to their unorgotten home, and there is nothing more ascinating in bird life than to see the rolicsofthe young birds and the grave lemeanor of the parents. The young visit * - ? iU... ne various nouses m wmuu wcic eared, some times two or three entering ,t the same time, and all the while keepng up their low, sweet twittering, as if onversing. Paid for His Dinner.?Lovers of dogs vill be interested in the following true tory: A lady was visiting friends at the easide where there was a tine dog whose naster was in the habit of giving him noney every day to buy meat for dinner roin the butcher's cart. The lady admirng the handsome, intelligent animal, ailed him to her as she sat at breakfast, nd fed him from her plate. The dog at uce went to his master, and, standing on lis hind legs, pawed and scratched at the ;entleman's breast-pocket. At first the aster failed to understand, and ordered dm away; but, the creature persisting, he inally said, "Well, I do believe he wants lis money," and offered him a coin, which he dog instantly took, and, trotting up to he friendly visitor, deposited it in her ap, with a wag of his tail and a look vnich seemed to say, "I always pay the etcher, and why not you?" Sleep a Preventive of Headache.? ^ scientific writer says: "Sleep, if taken t the right moments, will prevent an atack of nervous headache. If the subject of such headache will watch the symptoms of its coming, they can notice that it begins wiih a feeling of weariness and heaviness. This is the time a sleep of an hour, or even two, as nature guides, will effectually prevent headache. If not taken just then, it will be too late, for after the attack is fairly under way, it is impossible to get sleep until far into the night, perhaps. It is so common in these days for doctors to forbid having their patients waked to take medicine if they are asleep when the houi comes round, that the people have learned the lesson pretty well, and they generally know that sleep is better for the sick than medicine. But it is not so well known that sleep is a wonderful preventive ol disease?better than tonic regulators and stimulants.?Scientific American. Coughing Houses.?A horse may cough from having taken cold, and h may cough also through the injurious influence of dusty hay. A correspondent who has been watching for the cause ol the winter trouble in his horsas, says thai he has become convinced that the trouble comes, in his case, from clover hay, and more particularly through the manner ol feeding it. His custom, like that of many others, has been to let the animal draw the hay down through a rack, thus stripping off the fine dust, which was drawn in.tc the lungs in respiration and prods cd ih< cough. He believes the remedy for thii trouble to be in giving the animal its feec in the natural way, iVe., allowing it to gath er the food.at the level of its feet. Since changing his racks to managers the write] sa,ys ne hashad no further trouble with coughing horses. ROfAl SI 'AKlH? POWDER Absolutely Pure. This powder never varies.

At intervals of about one week I would r be nttacked with spells of severe ana most excrucia, ting pain, always commencing in the region of my Kidneys, ine pain wouiu men go upwards gnu uum my body anil head, anil seemed to penetrate my very ' eye-balls, creating the most Intense suffering, lasting ' about eight hours each spell. ' I resorted to all kinds of medicine without benefit. 5 Several doctors treated my case, but none gave relief. [ I finally used B. B. B. as an experiment, and to my f utter nstonlshment all pain and suffering vanished r after using three doses. To the present time I have , used three bottles, and not a pain has ever returned. 'r 1 do not know what was the matter, neither could 1 my physician name the complaint. The B. B. B. J ' acted finely and powerfully upon my kidneys; my appetite lias iicen splendid and my consv'iVrtloo built 1 up rapidly. R. THOMAS, I Constitution, Ga., May 6, 188C. J UNIMPEACHED INTEGRITY. | I am 55. Broke down twelve years ago, and have not been able to work since. Have lost proper action , of ray hips and legs. For five years scrofulous sores have appeared on my scalp and nose, and at the same time my eyesight began to fail, and for three years have been comparatively blind. Have been treated by eminent physicians of different schools without a cure. I have taken five bottles of B. 11. B. (made at Atlanta, Ga.), and all scrofulous sores arc gradually healing. Inflammation about my eyes has disappeared and there is sonic improvement in my vision. Am very much benefitted and relieved and begin to feel like a boy again?feci good. My strength and activity are returning in my legs and hips. The B. B. B. acts vigorously upon my kidneys, and the great quantity of matter that has been forced out through the skin is utterly incredible, often so offensive in odor as to produce nausea.
