B. N. Cloud Killed the Worms. Montgomery Advertiser. Mr.

N. B. Cloud is cuitivating what is known as the old race track in the castern part of the city, which had laid out about thirty years until he concluded to test what could be done with it this year. It is about one mile and a quarter from the city, on the Line Creek road. The pestiferous worms made their appearance in his cotton, and more than one person who saw the field predicted that they would strip the ton stalks entirely by the close of this week unless checked in their tions.

Mr. Cloud procured a supply of Paris Green and used a mixture of one pound of the poison to forty lops of water, and applied it to, the cotton with a wisp broom, made of broom corn. He sprinkled it on Wedneaday and Thursday, and on a close examination of the cotton yesterday discovered that the worms had all been killed. Several persons who saw the cotton after the worme were dead, pronounced it the best job in the way of worm poisoning they had ever seen. The poison as he applied it, did not.

affect the cotton at all Laet year Mr. Cloud used the sprinkling pot ordinarily used for poisoning worms, and noticed that the effect was to scald the cotton, which was owing to the fact that by; this method too much water as well as poison, was applied. Mr. Cloud is satisfied that if the BOn is applied in the proportion and way that he used this week that it surely kill the worms without injuring the cotton. One man, he saye, can easily apply the poison to four acres per day.

Tom Thumb Dead. MIDDLEBORO, July Charles Hey wood Stratton, better known as "Gen. Tom. Thumb," died at his residence this morning of apoplexy. He has been slightly indisposed a few days, but nothing, serious was anticipated.

The deceased was born in Bridgeport Jan. 4, 1828. At the age of 14 he entered the service of P. T. Barnum, and ever since hAs been before the public.

He leaves widow, who nas been on the stage with him since their marriage in 1863. The remains will be taken to Btidgeport for interment. The time of the funeral will be decided upon the arri: val of the widow from Cincinnati. County blanks at this office. Moonlight Picnic.

On last Tuesday evening the young people of Athens and vicinity enjoyed themselves at a moonlight picnic at the residence of Mr. R. H. Richardson. There were many visitors from adjacent towns, all of whom expressed delight and their approval of the nian method of picnicking.

Tre devotions at the shrine of Terpsichore were led by Prof. Terrell and his excellent orchestra. Cupid was not absent, and doubtless there are many who regret that life la not 9 protracted moouligut picnic. Mad Nigger." That was the remark the quill man heard the other evening as he WAS-09 his way down to the post-office. Looking in the direction in which he saw the crowd of street Arabs" running, he saw quite a little "picnic." Two ored women were trying to persuade a small negro girl to return to her home, from which she bad run away, by dragging her along by her lower excl tremitios over the gravel, she declaring all the while that she war "A mad nigger," and would not go.

Tribute of Respect.

It is with profound sadness and heartfelt sorrow that we write of the death of our dear friend, Oscar W. Sullivan, which occurred on the evening of the 4th of July, 1883. He was born January 3, 1362, professed religion in the summer of 1878, and joined the M. E. Church' at this place, where he lived a consistent member untii the day of his death: He was struck by lightning between' four and five o'clock, on his farm, three miles from town, and inetantly killed Suddenly and with little warning the eummons came.

Truly the flesh is as graes: "In the morning it flourishes and groweth up; in the evening it ie cut down and withereth." The beloved hath come down into his garden to gather lilies," taken and one of when its human purest and sweetest was just love derness hoped and promised much for him one whose life might know DO summertime, whore love of friends and home, whose boyish hopes and every earthly tie withered when they should just have fairly blown. Oscar being the oldest of several children, his character had developed a strength and tenderness 30 remarkable in a youth of his age; his intellect was precocious and well matured, while his gentle spirit seemed to have lost none of the purity and innocence its native heaven. Since our earliest childhood we have known each other well, and he forms a part of every pleasant memory. Yet 'tis sweet to know that in the twilight of his life all the bright sunny spots we have passed through have grown brighter and more beautiful. Alas! how vain are all earthly hopes, efforte and expectations! They are all blasted in a movement of time, and we are left shrouded in sorrow and gloom, while dear Oscar is basking in the sunlight of eternal glory.

It may be truthfully said that he was a most extraordinary youth, both in person and in mind. He was mild, gentle, loving, affectionate, kind, courteous, and a favorite with all who knew On a' bright Sabbath evening, just two weeks ago, as we were returning from the cemetery, we met a number of young people one going of to. the visit number, the place and little same. did Oecar he sus- wae pect that the grim monster, Death, was no close upon him and whetting his bloody blade to mow him down. Ged! may this terrible affliction be a warning to those he has left behind.

The stream of oblivion cannot efface from our. hearts the image of this noble boy, whore earthly existence is now only in the remenbrance of the world, for God has planted this lovely bud to bloom and thrive in the Paradise above. Who can blame the Master of the garden for plucking his most choice flowers to adorn his mansion in heaven? The funeral services were held at home, by Dr. Copeland, and a more solemn and impressive occasion waa never witnessed. That beautiful song, "Asleep in Jests," was rendered with pathetic effect, which filled the eyes of almost every one present with tears, and caused sighs and sobs and to escape from the hearts of his many friends.

As the pall-bearera, consisting of six young men, passed ont with the remains, I thought of the crushed and bleeding heart of his mother, who was deprived of soothing the dying moments of her loved boy. No one feels the death of child as a mother feels it, and when she sees that vacant chair, his deserted place at the table, and so many things that he has been accustomed to wear, then, indeed, will she realize the fact that her darling boy is dead. No, mother; not dead, but sleepeth, for he is doubticas this day an angel, on the bright golden shore, to allure loved ones on earth to follow on. Father, mother, brothora, sisters, be of good cheer. These severe afflictions are God's blessings in disguise." The Sabbathschool and sanctuary have one more vacant seat, and one more hearthstone in shrouded in gloom, but heaven is brighter.

A large crowd of friends. joined in the procestion and followed the corpre reeling, place, where the remains were reverently deposited. His grave was beantifully decorated with wreaths of sweet flower. and evergreene, and for years to come this nacre. will be visited by loving friends, who nail strew fresh flower and shed a pitying tear over the grave this darling boy.
