THE GEEATEST KNOWN FOOD FOE CATTLE AND STOCK. Cowb fed on this Meal will Increase their milk largely, and in many cases the quantity ol milk and cream will be doubled. This very valuable and economical food for stock has been until recently, comparatively unknown In this country, except in the New England States, where it was first introduced a few years ago, and where it his been rapidly growing in favor. The consumption in those states has bo increased within the post ten years that it now amounts to thousands of tons per annum. In England and Scotland, amongst that class of people whose principal study is "Domestic Economy," its value, bos long since been recognized.

The result is, that a greater portion of this article now manufactured in our 8outhcrn States is bought up every year by English buyers, thus leaving but a Bmall (inn inn nf it. tn find its war into our home markets.

Rev. A. P. Norris returned from bis trip to South Carolina, on Saturday light, looking much improved by the lures of a visit to family, home and friends. We believe that the Good Templnrs lave about decided to give a grand con cert in the near future.

We bear that it is being engineered by the lately returned adetsof the A. M.

Gardens in these parts are remarkably fine, and taking into consideration the fact that the blackberry crop is good we have come to the conclusion that we can live through to watermelon time.

Got vour nrintinv rlimaat th oei Job Office. We saw a man in town a few dava aco who had just sold $350 worth of wool. lie said that this wool had not been of any cost to him, except the sheaiinrr. as never fed or salted his sheep. This yioiu is equivalent to about eight bales cotton, to have raised which would have cost the man $250.

Dr. J. P. Allred was going to see a pationt lost Friday week, and meeting a wagon loaded with fodder, his horse became frightened at it and ran away, turning the buggy over and throwing the Doctor out, bruising him considerably. We are glad to be able to state that he able to attend to his usual avocation.

Ave understand that a negro was recently killed near Elba. He was returning from church, at night, with his arms lovingly locked around the neck of a dug- key damsel when he received a wound from a shot gun at the hands of some unknown party. He died almost in stantly. The woman, strange to say, was unhurt. The Globe Dramatic Company left on Saturday night's train, going to Tuskc-geeto fill an engagement there.

The deportment of the members of the Troupe, while in this city, was such as becomes ladies and gentlemen. Their performances were fair above the aver age, and should they ever return to Troy, we are sure they will be greeted crowded houses.

We hod intended to go Saratoga, Blount or Blue Spring, but think we will decline the idea and go on the "free ride," In midsummer, there nothing to compare with it for pleasure and comfort Mr. M. J. Siesel has a notice to fruit growers, in this issue. He wishes to purchase 100,000 bushels of dried fruit, for which he will pay the highest mar ket price.

Parties who intend drying fruit this season will find it to their interest to follow the instructions given by Mr. Siesel for curing the fruit. His reputation is a guaranty that he means bus iness, and will buy all the fruit that may be brought to him. As has been our custom for a number of years, we again offer a year's subscription to the Messenger to the person sending us the largest watermelon. All the melons sent us will be weighed on the same scales, and a record kept of the weights, together with the names of the persons sending them, and, at the end of the season the person whose mel on weighs the most will reeeive the pa per free for one year.

Mr. August M. Calm has severed bis connection with the establishment of T. II. Auerbach, and will leave in a few days for New York city, where he will go into business.

August came to Troy several years ago, fresh from the "Fath erland," knowing little of the language and customs of our people, but he was apt, and soon learned, and his natural kindness of heart won for him many friends who will regret his departure from our midst. It is not now known when or where the Congressional Convention will be held. Capt W. D. Wood, is chairman of the Executive Committee of this Con gressional District, and is now in communication with the Chairmen of the Executive Committees of the counties composing the District about the matter, and a determination will be reached at an early day.

We are in favor of holding the Convention at the earliest possible time. We learn from Rev. Mr. Norris. that the condition of Capt.

Stricklan is some- a wnat oetter man was ren uj apy. physician expresses the opinion that the cancer is now thoroughly killed, but from the effect of the severe remedies on bis throat and tongue he can take very little nourishment This together with the natural prostration produced by the disease leaves him very feeble. The doc tor savs that a failure to recover now will be caused by this weakness. The train on the Mobile 4 Girard rail road which was due here at 7:45 Mon dav evening did not arrive until about o'clock Tuesday morning. The delay was caused by the breaking of some part ef the machinery of the locomotive, the "Columbus," about two miles above Thomasville.

William Daniel, who lives near Henderson, in this County, was most foully attacked, on Tuesday morning, by Judson Lord, a young man residing in the same vicinity. It appears that Daniel was walking a settlement road, about one mile south of the village of Henderson, when be was shot by some party concealed behind a large clay-root, which stood some ten or twelve steps from the road. He was struck with four or five shot, receiving five wounds, only one wound being considered serious, and that not necessarily fatal. He was struck by one shot on the breast, one on the wrist, one on the elbow and received one flesh wound in the leg and was fait with a slug near the thigh which ranged around the abdomen and lodged on the other side. The slug was taken out by Doctors Brown and Allred of Troy, and Hamil of Henderson.

The affair occurred about thirteen miles from this place. Mr. Daniel says when be was shot, he turned in the direction from whence the report came, but saw no one. He, having a gun also, fired both barrels in that direetion. When the last shot was fired he saw Lord running off through the woods, drew his pistol and fired several shots at him, none of which are supposed to have taken effect, as he (Daniel) was too badly hurt to shoot with any precision.

With great-ditnculty he then walked down to the house of a gentleman, who lives about three hundred yards from the place of the shooting. Dr, Brown, of this city, was sent for, who in company with Mr. J. F. Hartsficld went down to see the patient, arriving there at o'clock, p.

in. It seems that Lord and Daniel had had a misunderstanding some two or three weeks ago, and a difficulty was expected. If we have the facts correctly, Lord acted a very cowardly part. Price of Bread reduced at CIIAFFIN' S. Hear Ilotli Side.

Editors Missikger. Will you do me the favor to publish the following paragraph, copied from the writings of Han nah More 1 I believe that any one who will read the history of her life, will con cede that she is a competent, and unim peachable witness, as to the character of the modern theatre. I desire to be un derstood as subscribing to her teachings in this behalf. Yours very truly, JOSIAII BARKER. "I do not hesitate for a moment to pro nounce the theatre to be one of the broad est avenues that lead to destruction.

Facinating, no doubt, it is, but on that account, the more delusive, and the more dangerous. Let a young man once acquire a taste for this species of entertain ment, and yield himself up to its gratia cation, and he is in danger of becoming a lost character, rushing upon his ruin. All the evils that can waste his property, corrupt his morals, blast his reputa tion, impair his health, embitter bis life, and destroy his bouI, lurk in the purlieus of a theatre. Vice, in form, lives and moves, and has its being there. My riads have cursed the hour when they first exposed themselves to the contami nation of the stage.

Light and darkness are not more opposed to each other than the Bible and the play-book. If the one be good the other must be evil. If the Scriptures are to be obeyed, the theatre must be avoided. The only way to justify the stage, as it is, as it has ever been, as it is ever likely to be, is tn conaemn the Bible. The same individual cannot defend both." For The Trov MassKNOKR.l Enjoy What There Is, ana De TtaankEtal.

Anterior to the late internecine war our Southern people had faces denoting unDurturbed minds and happy hearts, but now there is too much sadness depict- iA on their countenances. 1 he anxieties of the mind and the troubles of the heart have became solidified in the lines ol their futures, as though their birth stars had disappeared forever behind dismal and Phfierless horizon. We would like to see it dissipated by a sunshiny expression ot p.heerfulness. let us have more enjoyment cf what there is. We do not mean merely of what yoa own, but of all that is open to your eniovment all that you can noia iu wm- mon with others.

The night is yours. It brings yon "Tired nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep. It often brings you pleasant dreams sometimes dreams in which you repossess nd live over the enjoyment of the past A clear conscience and good health are far more conducive to sound and quiet than the Dossession of vast your mill and the bright emerald green ol the grass is yours, though the hay it makes may be another's. The birds, the songstors of the wild woods, sing for you. In the Spring, as now, on this beautiful Sabbath morning, the robin, the bluebird, the wren, the cat-bird, the thrash, the bobolink, the bluejay, the cuckoo, and the meadow-lark, and tho glorious mocking-bird, give daily concerts, free to all; while the near neighborly whippoorwill cheers the evening and wnkes the morning hours.

Enjoy your family, the sweet compan ionship of your friends, and when you are alone, solitude is greatly to be enjoyed, because of the opportunity of com muning with Him who is the author of your existence. Enjoy your walks a drive after a good horse, if you happen to have one? Why not? Enjoy all innocent pleasures and Amusements enjoy life all that you can, and be deeply grateful for all your opportunities of enjoyment to Him who loves you and gives them. This is the true philosophy of life. There is an old adage "Let him laugh who wins;" it night be changed to this: He who limtjhs does win. He whose enjoyment trifles cannot disturb, nor misfortunes destroy, is, in this life victor.

He who laughs wins. Then laugh; laugh when fortupe frowns. By enjoying lifo yourself, you do much to contribute to the enjoyment of others. A cheerful face carries sunshine wherever it goes. So, my young friends, and old ones too, enjoy what there is let it be the rule of your life and whether in the church, or not, never forget to be grateful for all you have to enjoy.

Now and then, though, we find a real son of cheerfulness a royal hero of the luminous heart I One who beams forth always like radiant summer upon all, everywhere whom all men bless, and all men miss when he goes. I mean the cbcerful chris. tian. Such men ought to wear crowns. They do.

Grateful thoughts, love and joy form the crown. They wear it un- a hundred hearts place it upon their heads, and they go crowned with lustrous light all their days. It may be said, truthfully, that the cheerful man, with his large and genial heart, and the grumbler, with but little if any heart at all, are of opposite polarities, what one attracts the other repels. J. S.

The subscriptions to the 4 per cent loan on Saturday week amoun ted to nearly a million dollars. If the loan is taken so rapidly, although no effort is being made to float it, there can be no doubt that with systematic effort the whole of it can be taken by the people within a short ti me. There is no need of a syndicate to act as a go-between for the parties. If the secretary of the treasury brings his 4 per cent loan fairly before the people they will take it readily, and to the greater advantage both of the government and of the people. To Fruit Growers.

mHE FRUIT SEASON IS NOW Opening and will soon be over. If you wish to make your orchards profitable a hint to you is in order. I wish to purchase Bushels of Dried Fruit this season. Remember that peaches, peeled, well-dried and of bright color, will bring the highest price. To secure this bright color the fruit should not be too ripe before gathered.

The fruit should be put upon the market as early as possi ble otter being dried, as it is injurea oy vermin if allowed to lie at home. I will PAY THE HIGHEST MARKET PRICE for fruit and other commodities in my line, snch as Hides. Tallow, Wool, Bees wax, Rags, lie. M.J. SIESEL.
