Why could not Georgia found institutions that
would enlist the confidence of her working peo

• In response to this suggestion, we will say
that the Constitution has frequently advocated
the establishment of savings banks in Georgia
under state laws similar to those that are in op-
postage free, at eration in New England. But. somehow or
other, the legislature has had other fish to fry.

On the Wing, July 31.—Your corre
spondent has had a good deal to say about
the crops recentiv. The reason of this is
that there has been and is now a good deal
to say. But the farmer is not always
making hay while the sun shines. His
crops are not all the time growing while
he is sleeping. The farmer’s lot is not in
all cases the very happy one that poets
and enthusiasts tell us about. At this time,
while most of the sections which we have
visited are teeming with abounding crops
and the prospects encouraging to the high

we do not undertake to say, but that they
are just the best fed of anybody in the
country we know to be a fact. They make
it a point to stop for meals at the Brown
house, at Union Springs, and there is not
a better eating house anywhere within our
knowledge. We have traveled around
considerably, and as the Enquirer-Sun
very kindly loots the bills, we always make
it a point to stop at the place where wears
most liable to get the best to eat. Mr.
Brown not only places the very best that
he can And upon his table to tempt the ap
petite, but he will have none but the most
expert and skilled cooks and attentive ser
vants. He looks after the interest of his
guests, and makes them as comfortable as

THE CITY OF UNION SPRINGS,
lie is fully prepared to see it at its best ad
vantage. It has a population of about
[ 2500 inhabitants and is a live, progressive
place. Surrounded by a fertile country,
the local trade is amply sufficient to sus
tain the city and the commercial interest
is constantly extending into larger fields.
The principal business done is in the way
of supplying the farmers. This is large
ly done by advancing supplies through
the summer months, farmers here, !Ue
elsewhere, using the bulk of the crops be
fore they nre made. It Is true the city
trade is quite an addition, but there are
not enough manufacturing industries to
add materially to the number of consumers
who make glad the hearts of merchants

1*1,AVER OUT,
"bite ta a stage .mil all lui-u am actors."
"Played out” is one id the slang phrases
which holds its own and is very express
ive. It is generally used in a hopeless
and despairing sense, signifying that the
game is over and the player is worsted,
il is quite true with many that “one mail
in his time plays many parts." Iluw to
play them well and siteeessliiliy is a se-
crn’i worth knowing and one which, with
most ot us, is learned too late, tine onlv
has to look over the daily papers to see
the history of the world in miniature,
and to learn something of the parts
which are being played on the chess
board of life by the different individuals
and nations of the earth. " As it was in
the beginning, it is now, and ever shall
he, world without end.” Some play to
win, others get ingloriously left. Some
piny the rolls of honor, others of shame.
ISome play adroitly; the plots of others
are very thin. As it “takes all kinds of
people to make a world,” there are nec
essarily very many parts to be played,
and I lie cast is intricate and the plot
hard to unravel.
The first great duty of life is to choose
tlie part to be acted, and the next to learn
to act it well.
"Honor amt shame from no condition rise:
Act well yonr part, there all the honor lies."
Whether your role is in peace or war,
among the professionals or with the
“horny handed sons oftoil," prepare to
meet its obligations honorably and
squarely. A man may be a success among
farmers as well as among presidents,
among plebians as well as among kings.
Whatever thy hand rinds to do, if it is
honorable and of good report, do it with
thy might. And then when your task
is done you need not look at the ominous
words “played out" as a fearful and in
comprehensible handwriting upon the
wall, but may contemplate them as the .
“finis” of an honorable and useful life.

iii Bullock county Is the almost entire fail- 1

with suitable seasons will not make the
seed that was planted. Cotton lands that
have made upon an average a bale to two
acres are complete failures this year and
even the bumblebees have been forced to

best watermelons, and he has fine ones, we
took a stroll over the place and were struck

An Old Letter.
I We have been shown a letter which from its
! age and associations will no doubt be of interest
1 to our readers.
' It is written on a sheet of unruled letter paper,
folded in the old style, and addressed to Messrs.
Thomas, Marks and Johnson, elders of the Pres
byterian church, Columbus, Ga. In the right
, hand upper corner are the figures in red ink ls-3,
indicating that the postage ’
in the lower left hand corner
glcV indicating that the letter was on a single
j sheet of paper. It is a little singular that just
one-ninth of the postage is now required for the
letter and about one-ninth of the time required
for the wagons to airive from Columbia is now
, sutticieut for the journey. *. * that the change in
the rate of postage has about kept pace with the
I increase in the speed of travel.
The letter is from Rev. T. B Goulding, who
had been chosen a» the pastorof the Presbyte-
i rian church, to U. E. Thomas. Esq.. Richard
I Marks and John Johnson, the elders cf the
church, informing them of his setting out for his
future home.
Minister and elders, master and slave, have all
passed away and gone, but it is pleasant to recall
incidents of those identified with the early histo
ry of our city, aud who are still kindly remem
bered by friends and kindred. The following is a
copy of the letter:
tor McCullough lias a great head on him.
Chicago sends word to such members of con
gress as she can command, “Henuepiu canal, or
bust.” If Chicago ever gets her paws into the
: federal treasury it will be the United States of
; America that will "bust.”
The internal revenue bureau for its first fiscal
year under the Cleveland administration shows
j an increase of $4,500,000 iu collections and a de
crease of $155,000 in expenses. This is deinoc-

redolent with pea vine blooms and new
mown hay, and"so truly rural withal, as to
awaken memories of a tender age when
cows were driven to pasture by barefoot
boys, and infuriated fathers sought in vain
for that priceless hatchet which in some
way allied itself to the matter of kindling
the kitchen tire, but which always hap
pened to be left at the big gate or in tne
barn yard by careless children. Such were
our reflections as, in company with the
better half and two of the sleepiest little
brats the world ever saw, we wended our j
way to take the
EARLY MORNING TRAIN
for Union Springs, and sped on the way at |
the rapid rate of fifteen miles an hour. !
And speaking of trains, we have often j
wondered why all conductors are not j
clever, good-hearted and accommodating ,
like those we have met and traveled with
on the Mobile and Girard road. Captain
Geeslin, of the Southwestern, has been set
up as a model of cleverness, but if lie is 1
any cleverer, more accommodating and
more attentive to the interests of his road
than Ed Musgrove, then indeed is lie a rp , rp
jewel. Captain Musgrove pulls the belli liTih
line on the regular passenger from Colum- j
bus to Troy, and everybody who comes
aboard smiles as they see they
are to be under ‘his charge.
Ed Davis is another prince of clever
nnd good conductors, and alternates with
