CORRESPONDENCE. Ed. GOard—l wo-.ilil suggest that in case of a fire, the alarm bell be suf ficiently sounded to notify the ei'izejs. Thus: 4 taps will indicate that the fire is in tipper part of town ; 3, that it is in the lower part ; 2. that it is in the central portion. Citizen. — Bcckuorn, Auk., May 14, '77. Editor Guard—As we take your paper, way up here among the rocks, as well as elsewhere, anti seeing nothing said in it about Stone county, we have concluded to pen you a line to let yotr Know that -re “still cling to the vine.’’ As tor news, we have had none since the mail agent, Mr. Cameron, with his deputy, Mr. C., camo this way, and do not want nny more of that kind in particular. Health of the county is ar good as could be, with the exception of cotton, which look* as though it had taken a dose of epecac. Our farmers are planting more corn than usual, and their wheat, although but little sown, looks line. Yours truly. Occasional. Ed. Guard—Noticing your mention, of my visit to Batesville, in your last, issue, I deem it just. in reply, to say that I indeed had a very pleasant time, and shall ever feel indebted to the la I dies and gentlemen in your city for their sociability and kindness to we mountain boys Being aw up in the mountains, where the cry <4 big owls and the howl of wii 1 beasts are noc tnrnallv heard, a visit to our mure m ligated brethren is like a ray ot moon shine to a benighted traveler. I will come down again when I get blue ami gloomy, Ine farmers are very much behin I with their work, owing to toe exces sive rain fall wliieh continues to pom upon US RespecHnllv. Milt in di'McnTl'V. Mountain View, May 7, 1877. Evbninu Shade Ark.. May 8,'76 Editor Guard— In looking over your paper. 1 see sever.ii coinmnnicA tions, but none from is place, and thought a few items li.m here might be acceptable. Evening" Shade (better known ns Hookrnm) is not the i .llest place in the world, as some folk, imagine. We have three dry goods, tnree drug an i; grocery stores, and last, but not least,; a saloon —all doing a lively business W'iieu it comes to ainu*. men!, real fun tnat will mike a man “laugh and giow tat,” we venture to say that we can scrape up more to the “square meh” than any other town of our cal ibie in the State. The weather is causing considerable, grumbling among the farmers, as it is delaying their spring woi k. Oldman who have never been known to resort to profanity, have, in the past week, have been heard to titter curses, loud and deep, on the continued wet weath er. Corn that is up, looks very poor. A great deal of it was bitten by frost during the late cool spell. Wheat, what little there is in this vicinity, is looking well. Mr. A. D. Wade has leased the Sharp saw mill, together with the carding .factory and cotton gin, at thia place He is overhauling and putting them in good running order, and will, soon have them in full blast. Our confidence in human'nature is, somewhat diminished when wo see a, young lady, with a celestial nose, go ing “chimolieking” through the mud to mill with a two-bushel bag of corn, on tier back. Dr. Winfield organized a Temper anco society- here last week. Cholera is loafing around the hog pens in this vicinity. Domiso. —-—। i We are informed that Mr. Ben. 11.

Entron of tbs Guard—. During a , long life, I have had much experience .] in the management of hogs, ami I pro-J, pose to give yonr readers my prevents-!] live tor that generally fatal disease, । cholera: Take pine tops or leaves.! and boil in a half-barrel of water snCfi-, yiently to make a strong solution ; add ' thereto 3 pounds each of copperas and'* -ulphnr, and 1 quart of salt. If pine' tops or leaves cannot ba had, rosin.' will answer—say 5 pounds. Thismix- 1 tore is to be poured over, say eight or ' run bundles of corn fodder (though ' Hungarian grass or oats will answer), 1 saturating well. It can also bo used ; with shelled corn or other grain. This 1 must be fed to your hogs, and they 1 will oat it very well, but it is advisable" that they be kept up over night with ’ out feed. It will cut the worms out of the hogs, which, I claim is the main ■ cause of this disease. This remedy should be given once a week or there !| abouta and is estimated for 100 head. ■ 1 have adopted this treatment tor the last forty years, and have never had a - sick with the cholera. Hogs run | ning on clover, or other grasses, should ; ;he salted regularly, and never should lie | Allowed to remain on knell pasture, more than two hours nt a time. In । addition to the specific treatment here | given, 1 have uniformly made it a rule , to keep tar, wood-ashes, charcoal and , (salt in my hog troughs. Further, when hogs show symptoms of cholera , they should be well rubbed acro..s the loins with turpentine and it is a D isable 1 that they bo kept where they will not ’ bo exposed to bad weather. Speaking of t roughs,l will tov give plan for making' them : For a trough 16 feet long, take two heavy plank, one 12 inches, the! •ther 11 inches in width, fit them to-, gather in something liks a V shape, 1 ind at each end nail pieces two feet Jong, and one toot wide, make it im movable by securing with sharpeuudj stakes driven in the gtound. so as to hid.l the trough. 1 find that hogs will 1 'not stand in a trough thus made, and 1 ,can’t root it over. In the year ’42. in Jefferson county - Tenn., my neighbor. Col. William M oore, was feeding 2400 head of large i hogs, and lost, of this number, lolly 1 10 per cent. With my lot of 500. J with treatment described. 1 lost nuue.l Byrd Smith. Pineville. Izard Co., Ark., April 19th, 1877. PRESS ASSOCIATIONS. Searcy, Auk., April 12. 1877.

Pattillo, Recorder, i Turks & Russians I A BATTLE AT BATOBM. Russians Meet With A Heavy Loss. A TWO HANDED GAME AND NO “SOFT THING I” - The Turks an I Russians arc figlil ing in earnest. The Turks have great advantage of position, being on their own soil and on the defensive. At I Batoum a haid and bloody bat i tie, lasting eight hours, was fought on the I Ith, in which the Turks were vic f(torions. The Russians were defeated, > with heavy losses, estimated at font thousand killed and wounded. The Russian army occupied open ground, . and had to light or fly when the Turko horsemen came down upon them The victory was due to tho courage ol rtho Bashi-Bazmiks' troops. After midnight, the Russian army was with ;dtawn. One Turkish officer, K ilim Bey, n Major of Regulars, was killed I The Cross went down before the. Crescent, Iha general expectation i has been that the Russian Cross would i sweep everything clean ns their stan i -lard advanced into the Ottoman Em i pire, but “the battle is not always to' i the strong.” aud this tho Muscovites will learn before the war is ov. r. The I loss to tho Tuiks at the battle of t Batoum was very light. FOK SALE. ; Four dwelling houses, one bnsiness house and one blacksmith shop—in the ■ business part of the town oi Batesville.
