Flies during this hot summer weather, are a great annoyance to housekeepers and others. For their benefit we print the following, going the rounds of our exchanges. It is a simple and cheap remedy and contains nothing poisonous, as many of the articles recommended for the destruction of the troublesome insects do. House flies may be effectually destroyed by taking a half a spoonful of black pepper in powder, a tablespoon of brown sugar, and one teaspoonful of cream. Mix them together and place the mixture in a room where the flies are troublesome and they will soon disappear.

They stacked arms, voted the radical ticket, and marched away. This is one of the methods of conducting a free election.

Capt. E. L. BELCHER, formerly of this place, but now of the enterprising law firm of Beecher & Belcher, of Memphis, has been sojourning for the past week among his many friends in Bolivar. Our observation leads us to believe the Captain has had a gay time while here, and we hope he may honor us with his presence often.
