When applied to dirt road? it gives a bard, smooth surface aod absolutely prevents the formation of mud and puddles, if the sur- j face is properly graded and rounded so as to permit the water that falls on the surface to rou off. Main Street would be a most excel? led place upon which to try the experiment. A barrel of crude oil ts sufficient to apply to a space of road 100 feet long and 12 feet wide. The use 0" petroleum in road making bas the quality of cheapness to recommend it. Mothers, we call your attention to Pitts' C?rmsna;ive.

Two Pointed Questions Answered. What is tba cse of making a better article than your competitor if you can not get a better price for it ? Ans-As there is no difference in the price the public wiil buy only the better, so that while our profits may be smaller on a single sale they will be much greater in the aggre? gate. How c*o you get the public to know your make is the beat ? If both articles are brought prominently before the public both are certain to be tried and the public will very quickly pass judg? ment on them and use only the better one. This explains the large sale on Chamber? lain's Cough Eemedy. Tne people have been using it for years and have found that it can always be depended upon. They may occasionally te.ke up with some fashionable novelty pot fcrth with exaggerated claims, but are certain to return to the one remedy that they know to be reliable, and for coughs, colds and. croup there is nothing equal to Chamberlain's Coogb Remedy.

The purse of the King's Daughters is fall to repletion and their barns are about to burst with plenty. The bazar of Thursday evening proved to be a lucrative sort of business, and there is a latent desire to make the thing permanent. The said Daughters desire to return thanks to our noble and exalted citi? zenship for their generous patronage. To the reel squads they offer devout thanks.

Wanted :-Cotton seed. Highest prices paid. W. B. Boyle. The Shipper Must Pay the Tax. Agent J. M. Spann, of the Southern Ex? press Company, is constautly annoyed by persons who object to paying the revenue stamp tax on express packages and money orders. Those who ship poods by express may as well reconcile themseive to the fact that they must pay tbe tax and quit making a kick to the local aeeot, for be cannot help them at ail. The United Skates circuit court, of New York, has recently decided that tbe pjymeox of the revenue tax is matter entirely between the express companies, and that if the companies do not see fit to pay the tex voluntarily the shipper must do so Several suits against the express corr pames to com? pel them to pay the revecoe stamp tax were dismissed oo Nov 5tb, and this opinion band? ed down This is the most recent decision in the matter and is from the conrt of tbe high? est jurisdiction that has yet bad the matter before it, consequently the express companies ?re upheld in their refusal to.'.pay the revenue stamp tex.
