The New York Tribune remote
that "it is a good, thing to have a
President who never goes fishing on
Decoration day." There are a good
many people in this country who be
lieve that it wouldn't be seriously
hurt if the President who now circu
lates about the White House went
fishing every day. Lige cotild run
the machine about as well as he does,
and do his whistling besides.
A veracious traveller has discover
ed a petrified corn field in Tennessee.
A report of that kind need not sur
prise us coming from a State that
has a Representative in Congress
like Houk. It ought to be good on
freaks. It is a blessing that the
corn fields m Kansas are not petri
fied, for if they were how would the
farmers keep warm in winter?
Since the last of June 372,000 ap
plications have been made for pen
sions under the dependent pension
law, an average of about 7,300 a day.
As the law allows pension agents a
fee of ten dollars in each case for fil
ing these applications it will be seen
what a bonanza they have in this de
pendent pension bill.
Have the Republican Representa
tives and Senators become so unre
liable that they have to pledge them
in writing to stand by certain meas
ures? They must be getting fear
fuply demoralized. But what better
could be expected from a Congress
run like that is ?
A Denver man who had stepped
out of single cussedness into married
blessedness, informed his friends at
his old home that his bride was a
handsome Colorado woman, and was
mad enough to kilt the telegraph
man who sent her over the wires as a
"handsome colored woman."
A Macon, Ga., man wants the
homeliest woman in Georgia to ride
on his float in the trades display at
the coming State fair, and to draw
her out offers a prize of $2,000.
Here is a chance for some Chicago
woman to make money by migrating
to Georgia.
A writer giving the reason why
there are so many bald-headed men
remaining bachelors says it is be
cause girls adore a handsome suit of
hair. But maybe it is because they
don't want to run the risk of losing
the little hair they have left.

perty seized by a cconstable and deliver
ed to the claimants wno gave me uonu
rnnlred.
From all appearances It seems that
Dr. Moore has not only lost his board
ers, but the amount of their board as
well.

Cotton Belt Bulletin.
The notable feature about the weather
yesterday was the absence of rain and
the comparatively low temperature that
prevailed. Outside of the Wilmington,
Charleston, Atlanta and Savannah dis
tricts, where there were light showers
at a few stations, no rain was reported
in the cotton belt. The maximum tem
perature ranged from 78 to 90 degrees
and the minimum from 60 to 70. In the
Wilmington district the lowest temper
ature reported was at Goldsboro and
Florence, 54 degrees.

forenoon from Saratoga regarding Dr.
Hoge said that his condition was not so

RANGE OF THE THERMOMETER.
The following is the range of the ther
mometer yesterday at the Signal Office
inj this city, as compared with the same

Jute Bagging.
Nearly all the cotton that has come to
this market thus far this season is wrap
ped in jute bagging, and it is probable
that the greater part of the cotton going
to other markets is also wrapped in that
material. The price of cotton baincr
on o
much higher than it was last year, on
account of the high price of cotton, and,
besides, cotton bagging does not protect
cdtton nearly so well as jute bagging.
Ihere is another thing which the farmers
take into consideration, and that is that
under the present system of selling cot
ton, viz., by gross weight, they get about
8(J cents more for a bale of cotton cov
ered with jute bagging than one covered
wth cotton bagging. Taking into ac
count, therefore, the greater cost of cot
ton bagging and the wastage which that
kind ot bagging permits, it may be safely
estimated that those who wrap their cot
ton in jute bagging get fully $1.25 a bale
more for it than those who wrap it in
cotton bagging. It is not to be won
dered at, therefore, that many Alliance
men are using jute bagging.
Seaman's Bethel,
The regular Sunday services at the
Seaman's Bethel will be held this after
