HE WANTED THE EARTH.
"I should like to sell you a gimlet," said
a careworn-looking man, as he walked into
the office.
"We have no use for one," replied the
cashier.
"But you should always look into the
misty future," went on the friend, demurely.
"Next winter you will want to
make holes in your boot-heels, so you can
get your skates on."
"I use club skates,?-no straps required."
"You may want to screw some boards
together some time. The old-fashioned
method of driving screws in with a hammer
is pernicious, as it deteriorates the
tenacity of the fangs of the screws, as it
were."
"Nothing to-day, sir."
"The gimlet also acts as a corkscrew?"
"I don't want it."
"It may be used as a tack hammer, a
cigar-holder, and a tooth-brush."
"I don't wan't it."
"It has an eraser, a pen, an inkstand, a
for oomnutinc comuound interest,
and a lunch-box attachment."
"I can't help it; I don't want it."
"I know you don't. You're one of those
mean men that won't buy a gimlet unless
it has a restaurant, a trip to Europe,
and an Italian opera company attached.
You're the kind of a man who would live
near an electric light to save a gas bill."
And the peddler walked out with his
mental plunge on the perpendicular.
Milk in the Cocoanut.?Whether
the familiar saying about "the milk in
the cocoanut" had its origin in a trick
f)layed upon a city marshal by a Maine
iquor dealer, or merely acquires therefrom
a new application, the story is worth
telling, and the Somerville Journal tells
it very well:
"One night the liquor-dealer made a
wager with the marshal that he could
bring a large quantity of liquor into the
city and sell it in small wholesale lots
without the latter's being able to catch
him. The next day the liquor-dealer disappeared,
only to reappear as suddenly a
couple of days later. The marshal's myrmidons
soon detected a very strong odor
of whisky in the public breath, but after
vainly hunting the source of supply for a
week, the marshal suddenly thought of
his wager, and made a descent on his
friend, but found nothing illegal on the
premises. After dismissing his officers,
the marshal said:
" 'Look here, X , this town is just
chuck full of whisky, and I believe you
are at the bottom of the barrel. Now,
give us the racket, and, if you have won
your wager, I'll pay up and say nothing
about it.'
"With a broad grin, the other replied,
as he selected a cocoanut from a basketful
in the corner:
" 'Here; take that home and sample it.
I passed five thousand of them under your
very nose last week, and this is the last of
the lot.'
"The marshal paid up, and left with his
1~ 1?
etaiupic.
Too Business-Like.?Some people deserve
the imputation of being "too sentimental,"
but others, alas! lose some of
life's best gifts through an excess of practicality.
Two girl-friends were one day
discussing a young man who had offered
one of them somewhat marked attention.
"What made you discourage him, Kitty ?
I know you did," said Elinor.
"Well, you see," answered Kitty confidentially,
"he was a little too matter-offact.
He sent me his photograph in an unsealed
envelope, just as if it had been a circular."
"Perhaps he felt stingy, and didn't
want to sacrifice an extra cent," suggested
Elinor.
"No, that wasn't it; he merely took
such a business-like view of all transactions
that it simply didn't occur to him to
pay more than postal laws require. And
then?now, Nell, you won't tell?"
"Never!"
"Not as long as you live ?"
"Not if I should be older than Methuselah
!"
"Well, he actually did propose to me, in
a letter written with a type-writer! I can't
be sure it wasn't dictated to an amanuensis.
Now. Nell, could any reasonable girl
be expected to say 'yes' to a question put
in that way?"
Elinor agreed that so prosaic a young
man might not be acceptable to some girls.
Sold.?"I had an amusing experience
once when I was a boy," writes a young
farmer to the Atlanta Constitution. "I
confess that I was pretty green at the time.
I lived with my father upon a farm near
Columbus, and used to haul wood into the
city and sell it.
"One day I had entered town with my
customary load, when, as I passed a large
building, some one poked his head partly
out of a window, and asked if the wood
was for sale. I replied in the affirmative.
" 'Well, throw it over this fence,' came
back from th e upper window.
"The house was surrounded by a high
wall, but I managed to pitch it over, and
then went around to the front gate to get
my pay. I could not get in ; I hammered
and called in vain, when some passer-by,
attracted by my frantic efforts to gain entrance,
enquired what was the matter, and
informed me that the building was the
jail.
"One of the prisoners had played a joke
upon me. I could not get my money or
the wood back, and returned home with
empty wagon and pockets."
Timid.?Thero is such a thing as too
much ingenuity in finding excuses. A
prisoner at the bar, who was charged with
stealing a dozen apples from a poor woman's
fruit stand, was cross-examined by
the prosecuting attorney:
"You admit that you took this fruit
from the woman's stock without paying
her?"
"Yis, sir."
"What did you do that for?"
"I didn't know how much tho price
wuz."
"Then why didn't you ask the woman ?"
"Oh, ye see, sir, I wuz alluz terrible
bashful with tho ladies."
The court thought such excessive bashfulness
a criminal offence, and sent the
man to jail.
SST "Mr. Smithers," said his wife, "if I
remember rightly, you have often said
that you disliked to see a woman constantly
getting herself into print." "I do,"
said Smithers, positively. "You considered
it unwomanly and indelicate, I believe."
"Very." "And you don't see
how any man could allow his wife to do
anything of the kind." "Yes, I think so
now." "Well, Mr. Smithers, in view of
all the facts in the case, I feel justified in
asking you for a new silk dress." "A
new silk dress?" "Yes; for the last eight
years I have had nothing better than
eight-cent calico, and I want something
else. I'm tired of getting into print."
Shirking.?One may have a very good
ear for tune without knowing much about
harmony, or being in any sense an educated
musician.

COTTON COVERING FOR COTTON.
The New Orleans Cotton Exchange Thinks
Cotton Bagging has Come to Stay.
From tin: New Orleans Times-Democrat.
On July 23 the New Orleans Cotton Exchange
appointed a committee to make a
reply to a communication from the Liverpool
Cotton Association on the subject of
the use of cotton bagging for covering
bales of cotton. The communication suggested
several difficulties in the way of
its use, all of which appear in the reply
made thereto by the New Orleans Cotton
Exchange, which reply is appended. i
The feeling of the Liverpool Cotton Association
is apparent in the concluding
paragraph of their communication, which
reads as follows:
"While asking for this information, with :
1 * ? tn r? An f Ko on nc f inn i
il VltJW U1 iCglOIUlHlg VLl U1U VjUVJUV/u, I
should it unfortunately become necessary !
to do so, the board respectfully urge upon |
your Exchange to do all in its power to
encourage a return to the use of jute bagging,
and so obviate the necessity of meeting
the almost insuperable difficulties
which the adoption of the new bagging
would raise."
New Orleans Cotton Exchange, )
New Orleans, July 29, 1889. ) |
John Itoxburgh, President Liverpool
Cotton Association, Limited, Liverpool,
Eng.?Dear Sir: Your communication of
loth instant, relative to the use of cotton
bagging as a covering for cotton bales came
to hand in due course of mail. I now beg
to reply thereto, first to the "several difficulties"
you enumerate as in the way of
its adoption,and secondly to your inquiries.
The first difficulty : "That some underwriters,
in consequence of tests made last
year, think itsuseinstead of'jute bagging'
undesirable."
The best information on the merits of
the cotton bagging, from an underwriter's
point of view, is to be found in the report
of the test made in this city, September 17,
1888, by several representatives of insurance
companies. You will please find a
copy of that report hereto annexed, and
marked "A."
That test was certainly decidedly favorable
to the cotton bagging and adverse to
the jute, and demonstrates that the use of
cotton bagging will positively diminish
fire risks.
To second difficulty: "That it will not afford
sufficient protection against damage."
The report of experiments on this point
indicate that it is a good covering. The
thread of the cotton bagging is hard twisted
and the meshes are small, while the
jute is loosely twisted and the meshes large.
Water poured on a cotton covered bale is
less absorbed than if poured on a jute covered
To third difficulty: "That if the weight
suggested in the information laid before
the board, three-quarters of a pound per
yard, it will not be strong enough to resist
rough handling en route, and this will
increase the cost of mending on arrival."
It is claimed that the combination of
light weight and great strength is a favorable
feature in the cotton bagging. Exporters
have never objected to bales covered
with it.
To fourth difficulty: "That great inconvenience
will arise from the use of two
kinds of bagging, even though some temporary
arrangements be arrived at for the
ensuing season.As
cotton bagging will be very considerably
used this season, the incidental inconvenience
cannot be avoided. The cotton
factor here cannot dictate to his clients,
planters and merchants, the kind of bagging
to be used in covering the cotton
crop. It is to the interest of all concerned
to have established without delay a proper
basis of adjustment of the difference in
value, arising from the difference in
weight of covering,and then all inconvenience
will terminate.
To fifth difficulty: "That the absence of
similar bagging here for mending purposes
and the doubtfulness as to whether it
could be obtained for some time to come,
will complicate the question of allowances
for tare."
The cotton bagging can be readily supplied
from here or can be quickly manufactured
by English mills, or second-hand
bagging can be obtained for mending purposes.
To sixth difficulty: "That the increased
cost of supplying such bagging will cause
a distinct loss to the importer on every
pound of bagging added for mending, the
cost of cotton bagging per pound being
considerably in excess of the same weight
of cotton."
Competent authority states that cotton
bagging can be manufactured per pound at
a price not much above the price of good
ordinary cotton. That any loss will come
to the importers by the use of cotton bagging
seems to be very improbable. The
exercise of their traditional intelligence
and their usual observance of such facts
as are likely to effect net results will be
ample protection to them.
To the several questions you ask I beg
to reply as follows:
Answer to the first interrogatory : It is
uncertain what portion of the cotton crop
of the current year will be covered with
the cotton fabric, but present advices indicate
a considerable quantity. IIow
much cannot now be reported.
Answer to second interrogatory: Wheth
er more bands than are at present used
will be required for the proper protection
of bales covered with this description of
bagging?
There seems to be no reason for any increase
of bands. It is stated by persons
engaged in the actual handling of cotton
bales that this bagging is a good substitute
for the jute and no increase of bands is
needed.
Answer to third interrogatory: What
weight per yard is it likely to be?
The weight of cotton bagging is designed
to be not less than three-quarters of a
pound per yard, and 37* or 44 inches wide.
A sample of the cotton bagging is forwarded
to you, in compliance with your
request.
Last season several qualities of cotton
goods were used to cover cotton, such as
sheeting, osnaburgs and other inferior
goods. These light fabrics were clearly
unequal to the rough handling, and the
bad condition of bales covered with these
goods have been indiscriminately quoted
to discredit the bona fide cotton bagging.
However, the bales covered with sheetings
and osnaburgs were freely bought
without objection by all exporters. They
will be bought as willingly again if they
can be had at same advantages as to tare.
The lighter covering is clearly a source
of certain and considerable profit to the
Liverpool importer under the last season's
method of sale here, and his gain represents
a corresponding loss to the planter.
This is an improper condition, and it is
necessary that it be corrected.
The numerous and powerful planters'
organizations in our cotton States, "The
Farmers' Alliance" and others, have declared
their intention to use cotton bagging
and?they will use it. They expect their
cotton-covered bales to be sold as advantageously
as their jute-covered bales. This
is not impracticable or an unreasonable
expectation. They have eight to nine
pounds less bagging than the jute-covered
bales, and also five and a quarter pounds
of cotton that is susceptible of conversion
into some other goods.
It seems inevitable that these valuable
considerations must command the recognition
of every buyer and seller of cotton.
The Liverpool importer can scarcely insist
upon a discrimination against the lighter
covering because of any inconvenience
arising from the use of two kinds of bagging.
It does seem that the several dilliculties
in the way of the use of cotton bagging, as
recited in your letter, are scarcely of serious
gravity. Your suggestion of insufficiency
of strength seems the only one that
seems open to discussion. The inquiries
inofifntnfl flna l<Velionf*n /Iiar>lnoori unmn
conflict of opinion as to the ability of the
cotton bagging to bear rough handling.
However, the preponderance of opinion
and the most substantial opinion of careful
observers of this fabric in actual use is in
favor of its sufficiency.
Unless the objections to cotton bagging
are well founded upon its intrinsic unworthiness,
the opposition to its use ought to
be of short duration.
It is remembered that when iron bands
for baling cotton were first substituted for
rope, exporters, ship agents and ship masters
and insurance companies denounced
the innovation. Cotton bales secured with
iron bands were hauled to the ship's side
and refused. The iron bands were required
to be removed and rope substituted before
the bales would be received in the
ship.
The change from jute to cotton in covering
for cotton bales is not so radical as the
change above mentioned, and there seems
to be no good reason why any improvements
should stand in the way of the uso
of any cotton fabric suitable for covering
cotton bales.
The U9e of the two kinds of bagging will
be some inconvenience to both buyer and
seller in this market. However, its use to
some extent being inevitable, and as the
use or disuse of cotton bagging is beyond
the control of this Exchange, a quick understanding
about the difference resulting
from difference in weight of the two kinds
of coverings is very desirable. Very respectfully,
Stanley O. Thomas,
President New Orleans Cotton Exchange.
A SENSATIONAL AFFAIR.
At Lathrop, California, on the 14th instant,
occurred a bloody sequel to the famousdivorce
proceedings, instituted about
four years ago by an adventuress, Sarah
Althea Hill, against the California millionaire,
Senator Sharon,'Miss Hill claiming
to be his lawfully wedded wife. The
decisions of the courts were adverse to
Miss Hill's claims, and subsequently she
married Judge David S. Terry, who had
warmly espoused her cause during all the
years of her litigation to establish her
claim to a share of the Sharon estate as the
wife of Senator Sharon. The story of
the tragedy is thus told by dispatches
from Dathrop, California:
Upon the arrival of the Southern overland
train at Lathrop on Wednesday morning,
14th instant, at 7.20 o'clock, Associate
Justice Stephen J. Field, of the United
States supreme court, and Deputy United
States Marshal Nagle walked into the depotdiningroom
for breakfast and sat down
side by side. Soon afterwards Judge David
S.Terry and wife (formerly Sarah Althea
Hill) came in. They were proceeding
to another table, when Mrs. Terry, evidently
recognizing Justice Field, did not
sit down, but retired to the train. Before
she reached it, however, and as soon as
she had left the dining room, Judge Terry
approached Justice Field, and stooping
over him slapped his face. At this juncture
Deputy Marshal Nagle arose from his
seat and shot Judge Terry through the
heart. As he was falling the deputy marshal
fired at him again, but missed him,
the bullet going through the floor. The
shots were fired in quick succession.
Judge Terry did not utter a word after
being shot, lie hardly had fallen when
Mrs. Terry rushed to the side of his body
and threw herself upon it. Then ensued a
scene of the wildest excitement. People
rushed from the dining room and others
rushed in. During this time Justice Field
and Deputy Marshal Nagle retreated to
the sleeping car, where they were securely
locked in. At times Mrs. Terry would call
upon the citizens to arrest them. After
the shooting, Deputy United States Marshal
Nagle backed up against the wall of
the dining room and warned everyone not
to arrest him, saying he was a United
States officer in the discharge of his duty.
There was no semblance of attempt to molest
him at any time.
Nagle was arrested at Tracy, by a deputy
sheriff, and lodged in the jail at Stockton,
aud District Attorney White ordered
the arrest of Justice Field upon his arrival
in San Francisco, and telegraphed the order
to the sheriff of San Francisco.
On the arrival of the train at Oakland,
Justice Field gave a press representative
the following account of the affair:
"I can tell you the story in a few words.
For the last few months all manner of reports,
both public and personal, have reached
me that Judge Terry had threatened to
subject me to some form of indignity if he
should happen to meet me. This caused
the United States marshal to decide to
provide such protection as ho could during
my stay in the State. When I started to
Los Angeles to hold court, Deputy Nagle
accompanied me. He seemed to be a quiet,
gentlemanly official, though I only met
him twice while away from Los ADgeles.
He asked me in that city when I intended
to return, and he accompanied me, taking
a seat in the sleeping car opposite to me.
We heard this morning that Judgo Terry
and his wife were on the train, but paid
no attention to the fact. When we arrived
at Lathrop we entered the eating station
to get breakfast. I took a seat at the end of
the table, while Nagle sat on one side of
me. Terry and his wife came in the room
soon after. As soon as she saw me she
went out of the room, as I afterwards
learned, going to the car for her satchel.
Judge Terry rose and I supposed he intended
accompanying her. Instead of
doing so he walked back to me, and struck
me a heavy slap in the face. I was completely
astonished, and seeing he was
making ready to strike again Nagle cried
out 'Stop! stop!' but Terry did not desist,
and as he was raising his arm a second time
Nagle shot at him, the bullet entering his
heart. He fell to the floor, Nagle shooting
a second time, but tho shot did not strike
him. Nagle was arrested at Tracy, and
taken to Stockton to await the inquest.
That is the complete story as far as I am
aware of tho facts."
JUDGE TERRY'S CAREER.
David S. Terry was born in Todd county,
Ky., in 1823. He served in the Texan army
under Sam Houston. He came to California
in 1849, and settled in Calaveras
county. In 1855 he was elected justice of
the supreme court of California on the
Native American ticket, and upon the
death of Chief Justice Murray in 1857,
Judge Terry became chief justice. He
was opposed to the vigilance committee of
185G and stabbed one of the members of the
committee who had attempted to arrest
Malony, a friend of Terry's. Terry was
held by the Vigilantes, but was afterwards
released. He killed Senator Broderick
in 1859 as the result of political differences,
Terry belonging to what was
known as the "Chivalry" wing of the
Democratic party.
In 1880 Terry was defeated as a Hancock
elector, although his associates were elected.
On September 8,188S, he was sent to
jail for four months, for contempt of court,
by Justice Field.
Pie was at one time chief justice of the
supreme court of California, and has
always been a prominent figure in the political
history of the State. The killing of
Broderick caused at the time deep personal
resentment against Terry by a portion
of the people of the State, which threatened
to terminate his career in California,
but he always had a number of adherents
and remained in tne state, mougn ne una
only once or twice been before the people
for position.
He was married to Sarah Althea Hill,
who claimed to be tho wife of Ex-Senator
Sharon, while prosecuting her claim
against the Sharon estate. This brought
him into a resentful attitude to Justice
Field, who last year rendered a decision in
the United States circuit court in San Francisco,
denying her claim to be the wife ol
Sharon. Mrs. Terry created a scene in
court during the reading of the decision,
charging Justice Field with being corrupt,
and, as she refused to remain quiet, Justice
Field directed that she be removed from
court. When the deputy attempted to carry
out the order of the court she became involved
in a personal quarrel with that ollicial,
and Judge Terry interfered, drawing
a dagger from his vest. He was disarmed
and both Terry and his wife were adjudged
in contempt and committed to jail.
In the meantime Justice Field went to
Washington to resume his duties on the
bench, returning to San Francisco six
weeks ago.
Newspaper articles wero printed intimating
that it would be dangerous for
Justice Field and Judge Terry to meet personally,
as it was thought that the latter
might insult the former, while the fact was
also recognized that Justice Field would be
quick to resent an attack from Terry,
knowing it could only result fatally to one
or tho other, in view of the hitter's record.
If Judge Terry had intended to provoke
Justice Field, and to draw a weapon before
the latter could turn, is, of course, not
known, as Deputy Nagle, who sat opposite,
prevented this by tiring, resulting in
the instant death of Terry.
WHY NACJLK ACCOMPANIED JUSTICE
FIELD.
Protection was accorded Justice Field, it
is claimed, by authority of United States
Attornev-tleneral Miller, who telegraphed
from Washington to the marshal of the
district to see that the person of the justice
was protected at any hazard. The order
extended also to Judge Sawyer, of the United
Statcseircuit court in San Francisco, upon
whom Mrs. Terry made a personal assault
last year while on a railroad train accompanied
by Judge Terry. The order
was based upon this fact, and upon the
threats declared to have been made openly
by Terry against Justice Field. Deputy
Marshal Nagle was directed to accompany
Justice Field under this order, and is said
to have given Judge Terry full warning
to stop when the latter began his attack
on Justice Field, and fired at Terry as the
latter was about to strike the second time.
WJIO NAGLE IS.
David Nagle, deputy United States
marshal, who killed Terry, was appointed
in 18S1 chief of police of Tombstone.
While occupying that position ho had frequent
encounters with tho criminal element
and soon earned the reputation for
himself of being a man of undisputablo
courage and bravery, lie shot and killed
a Mexican desperado in Tombstone after
a fierce encounter. Nagle was appointed
deputy marshal a year ago, and when
Terry made the assault on Marshal Frank
last September, Nagle disarmed him. The
reports circulated that Terry intended doing
Justice Field some injury when they
met, caused Nagle to be detailed to act as a
body guard to him when he came to the
coast a few months ago.
EVANGELIC AIjljEllVICES.
For the Ynrkvillc Enquirer.
Etta Jane, August 13.?Iiev. Henry J.
Morgan, the evangelist, assisted by ltev.
A. A. Gilbert, the regular minister, has
iust closed a series of meetings at Wilson's
Chapel. Throughout, the meeting was
largely attended and much interest manifested.
Miss Carrie Isabella Morgan,
daughter of the evangelist, presided at the
organ, one is a spienom periormcr an?
sings delightfully. The choir, under the
leadership of Prof. J. F. Vaughn, united
with her to furnish music for the occasion,
which was a pronounced success. Two
sermons were preached daily at 10 o'clock
a. m., and 8 o'clock p. m.
By special request, the evangelist preached
a sermon on Saturday touching upon
the duties of ministers and church members
to each other. 1 give the cardinal
headings that my readers may he able
to glean the essence of the subject which
he so ably presented.
His text was Matthew x, 40?"He that
receiveth you receiveth me; and he that
receiveth me receiveth Him that sent me."
The several sub-divisions were as follows:
For the qualifications ministers should
possess he referred to I Timothy iii, 1-8
inclusive.
They are to be treated with respect, and
when we receive them to our love and confidence
we are receiving (led himself.
Matthew, x, *10.
We are to yield to the power, will or
opinion of our ministers. I Corinthians
xvi, 10.
We are are to hold our minister in reputation.
Phillipians ii, 21).
We are to love them for their prayers,
sermons and song. I Thessalonians v, l.'l.
We are to consider the end of their sermons,
prayers, song, visits and conversation.
Hebrews xiii, 7.
The true minister feels that he must give
an account to Clod for our souls at the
Judgment day. Hebrews xiii, 17.
They are to me much in prayer for us.
Ephesians vi, 11).
It is their duty to be dilligent in studying,
preaching, <tc. Romans xii, 7; I Corinthians
ix, 1G; I Timothy iv, 13; 1 Timothy
v, 17.
To be constantly in prayer. Acts vi, 4;
Ephesians iii, 14.
To reprove is necessary. I Timothy v,
20; Titus i, 13.
They are to set good examples. Matthew
xxiii, 3; Romans ii, 17; II Corinthians
vi, 3; I Thessalonians ii, 10; Titus
ii, 7 ; I Peter v, 3.

JL iiizy aiu ciniuuu iw n iii(4iuvv,ii(uji.vi
Matthew x,10; I Corinthians ix, 7 ; Galatians
vi, 6.
The subject was one of special interest,
and well did the minister maintain his
reputation as a profound reasonerand hard
student. He is a man of great physical
and mental powers, and his devotion to
the Christian cause is well established and
generally accepted.
Were it at all practicable I would give a
full report of his sermon ; but as the space
allotted to a newspaper correspondent is
too small for that, I give the principal subdivisions
and Scriptural quotations, from
which the reader can forma comprehensive
idea of the subject he so ably and logically
set forth. j. l. s.
KKMINISCEXCES*~UF"WESTERN YORK.
For the Yorkvllle Enquirer.
Many years ago the people of Western
York found much sport and pleasure in
what was known as the "squirrel hunt."
This was conducted upon a strictly business
plan. Those who took part in it
would meet at some designated spot at a
given hour in the morning. Two men,
known as captains, would divide the gunners
and each divide and sub-divide his
squad into hunting parties, with one, two
or three men in each. Each group was an
independent organization and could divide
itself into as many minor divisions as the
exigencies of the case would demand, or
as tho gunners would choose. An hour
and place were set for meeting in the evening.
The prize consisted of a gallon or two
gallons of stew, according to the size of tho
crowd. Each squirrel counted one, a hawk
two and a wild turkey five, and so on. A
rabbit counted one. Game of any kind
killed would be brought in to be counted,
or if that was impracticable, the "skelp"
must come. Crows, jaybirds, partridges,
and, in fact, everything that would destroy
corn, or was otherwise a nuisance, was
killed and counted upon a specified
schedule.
The hour and place of meeting having
been previously announced, large crowds
would gather to see the gunners come in
with their conquests. A large pot wouici
be in readiness to cook, or fire to bake or
broil the moat, and a general neighborhood
barbecue was the result.
When the gunners met in the morning
the money was made up and some one
designated to buy the liquor and have the
stew ready when the result of the day's
work was announced. The winning party
would or would not invite their opponents
to drink, just as they chose. Liquor was
plentiful and cheap, and like the Irishman,
they could "take a wee bit straight and
drink a grog while the stew was making,"
and by the time these mixed drinks got a
show, somebody was drunk, sure enough.
One among the principal actors on these
occasions was Bill Childers. lie could
kill as much game and drink as much
liquor as anybody. Tom Lanier, in the
daytime, was an important factor, too.
Hen Lolin was no slow coach, and a number
of other names might be mentioned
that would remind my older readers of by
gonedays. My young readers may think
that two or three hundred squirrels killed
on one of these hunts would be an incredible
number to give, but I am satisfied it
was so in many cases; that is, in counting
the different kinds of game and birds,
scheduled with one squirrel as a unit from
which to count tho result. The school
house spring at Hickory Grove was a popular
place for these hunting parties to resort
for their fun and pastime. J. l. s.

THE CORBIN C
.fllllH COKIJIN DISK HARROW has now!
i JL boon in tlio hands of fsmnors for moro tlmn
illLocn yo:irs, and ih to-day porliaps tno most |
popular farming implement of its kind that j
lias over been ollbred to thom. It is used in
every Stato and Territory in tlio United States, i
and in Canada, Russia, Mexico, Now Zealand, j
Australia, South America and Ireland. It has j
been awarded medals of superiority by the j
great American Institute Fair, The World's I
Exposition at Now Orleans, and at every State j
and local display of agricultural implements i
whore exhibited.
DESCRIPTION.
Tho above illustration gives a correct idea
of tho general appearance of the Corbin Harrow
ready for use. It hasstcel disks thataro turned
to a knife edge. They aro firmly and substantially
attached to theaxlo by means of a special
nut and key which clamps them firmly in position.
It is impossible to loosen this nut by
any of tho accidents or operations of field work,
but if dosirod to take tho Harrow to pioces, a
few moments' work will readily detach these
parts and enable tho operator to tako off or get
out any of the disks in either gang.
It has a wooden T boam?steel axles?woodon
seat standards?wrought hand lever?anti-friction
balls in boarings. Tho Corbin Harrow
was tho first to adopt and socuro by letters of
patent, case hardened anti-friction balls for the
journals, to prevent tho wearing of the boxes
and to losson the draft. Tho entire boxing is
protected by sand bands and is furnished with
solf oiling boxes coverod with a dust proof oil
cap. Tho axlo revolves in a bearing formed of
eleven chilled iron balls, which makes tho machine
the lightest draft harrow in tho world.
Two sizes of disks aro used. The smallest
size is 13 inches in diamoter and tho largest 1(5.
Tho manufacturers make harrows with 12,
1(5, 20 and 24 disks each, but experience has
demonstrated the fact that tho 13-inch, 12-disk,
or tho l(Mnch, 12-disk, six foot cut, is host
adapted to general farm work.
The price of the 13-inch, 12-disk, Ilarrowis
$35.00 Tho price of tho 10-inch, 12-disk, is
$40.00.

Tho following words of praise for the Corbin
Disk Harrow are published for tho information
of those of our readers who are not familiar
with this most valuable implement. As each
witness is known by a large number of our
readers, either personally or by reputation, wo
feel warranted in saying that their testimony
will bo convincing to the most skeptical:
Mr. Wiii. H. Herndon's Endorsement.
Yoiikvili.k, S. C., July 10, 1889.
I have used a Disk Harrow for years, and
would not bo without one for four times its
cost. I think tho Disk Harrow is the most
important implement used, and will do more
work for its cost than any implomont mado.
W.m. II. IIerndon.
Mr. Rob't E. Guthrie's Evidence.
Gijtiiriksvillk, S. C., July 5, 18.89.
Capt. L. M. Uuts'r: Dear Sir:?I have a
Corbin Disk Harrow which I have been using
for sovoral years, and consider it the most valuable
farming implement of which I have any j
knowlcdgo. I uso my Disk Harrow in sowing
all of my small grain, and it does the work
better than any implement I have ovor used, i
Land that has been cultivated in cotton or corn,
may be sown without any preparation whatever,
and an ordinary hand, with two mules,
can sow and cover six to oight acres in a day.
All that is necessary is to sow the seod on the
ground, and then run tho Harrow over it one
time: but better results will bo obtained if tho
Harrow is run over tho ground two or three
times. As a time and money savor,aside from
tho superior quality of work it does, its valuo
can hardly lie estimated at thoseasons at which
tho small grain is sown. The Harrow is very
useful in pulverizing rough plowed land ofany
kind, especially bottoms, and it will pay any :
farmer to uso one. Unlike tho ordinary tooth, [
or Acme harrow, it not only pulverizos tho ,
surfaeo, but will pulvcrizo "to tho depth to j
which tho plow has gone and ofton deeper. It
can bo used to ailvantagoon land that is too
wot to plow, without injury to tho land. There
should, in my opinion, be a Disk Harrow on
every well regulated farm, and in my opinion
no harrow yet introduced is equal to the Corbin
in simplicity, durability and thoroughness of
work. Respectfully, R. 10. Gutiiuik.

IISK HARROW.
I,
niont, I would say that I consider mysolf in- j
competent to do "the implement jusiico, but;,
will try to give some idea of my estimato of its j
value. I consider the Corbin Disk Harrow to i
bo the most valuable farming implement I have \
ever used, or oyer expect to uso. There is no
other implement of which I have any knowl- j
edge that will do as many different'kinds of
work, or do the work so well. There is no im- !
element which will do equal service that I
iiavo oyer seen, that is so simple in construction
or which is loss liable to get out of order.
Itisonoof the few improved farming implements
which can be used to advantago by the
ordinary negro. The Corbin Harrow will more
than pay for itself in one season if given half
a chance. I now have on my farm a Id-inch,
12-disk Corbin Harrow, the original price of,'
which was SUA. and althouirh the imnlcmcnt has i
been in use nearly fivo years, if it was impossible
to get another, I would not take livo times |
its cost for it. In conclusion, lot mo say that i
somo of my assertions may sound extravagant j
to somo of my brother farmers who aro not j
familiar with the Corbin Harrow, but I will j
say to those who may doubt any of my state- j
monts, that I will take pleasure in demonstrat- !
ing the truth of each and every assertion to |
the entire satisfaction of all who will call at my |
farm near town. I hopo to see, or hoar, at an ',
early day, of a Corbin Harrow being on the i
farms of hundreds of farmers in this section.
Very Respectfully, W. M. Wat.kkr. ,
Mr. F. II. Dover's Verdict.
Grover, X. C., July 10, 1889.
Capt. L. M. Grist: Dear SirI haveownod }
a IG-inch Corbin Disk Harrow for the past four I
years and hayo put it to ovory possible test and
it has given entiro satisfaction. I had long felt
the neod of a harrow that would pulverize the
soil thoroughly from four to six inches deep,
and realized that this could not bo done by
any drag or tooth harrow, for they only pulverize
the surface, leaving many clods or lumps
untouched, and these clods would be worked
to the surface in cultivating the crop; and all
intelligent farmers know that cloddy land
does not give the best results. Hence the great
importance of a harrow that will pulverizo the
soil as deep as the plow goes. My harrow will
thoroughly pulverize to a depth of seven inches.
I want nothing bettor in stalk land in putting in
wheat or oats than the Corbin Harrow, for it
not only does better work than a plow, but is
so much laster, cutting six feet at a time, and
all farmers know the importance of saving
tinio at tho season whon those crops aro usually
sown. 1 venture tho assertion that no farmer ,
who owns a Corbin Harrow would bo without j
it for twice its cost. Two great advantages tho |
harrow possess ovor most improved farming !
implements is its simplicity and durability. 1
Any sleepy-headed free negro can operate it if
ho has sense enough to drive a wagon. I have
prepared stubble land for planting, where there
was no rocks or stumps, with my Harrow, by ;
harrowingit twice, crossing the first work with !
the last, as well or hotter than I have ever done !
with a plow. Much more might bo said about j
tho Corbin Harrow but I think I have said I
enough to induce farmers to inquire into its
moms. ^ v 11 win; 111 v usiigmu win i;u muvui iuu.
