bone, and in so doing lost that
which he had in his own month.
The fanner seems naturally in
clined to grasp too much, and in so
doing loses much of what he al
ready has; he is oyer-anxious to
make, and thus spreads oyer too
much land, and in so doing they
have to pay tax on doable the
amount of land and takes twice
the time to break it, twice the
time to spread the manure and
twice the time to plant, and after
all this extra time and expense,
half the land would have produced
as much.
1 have been afflicted with avarice
myself, and spread over twice as
mnch as I was able to pat in and
cultivate properly, and when har
vest came, as Solomon says, had to
beg and have nothing. Hot only
did I attempt too mnch m cultiva
ting crops, bat in keepidg too
mncb stock, through the false idea
that nnmb6rs made more money.
The desire for too mnch has ruin
ed thousands who would at this
time been well-to-do had they
adopted the system of cultivating
no more land than can be well
manured and thoroughly cultiva
ted. I have knotvn farmers in
their blinded way of making, hire
hands and spread oat over so mneb
land that they conld not half culti
vate it, and much of it, too, so poor
that it would not make five bush
els of corn to the acre, and then
have ta sell of their scanty home
supplies to pay off the hired hands,
and thus go on from year to year
until bankruptcy closed the deal.
If ten acres of land can be made to
yield as mnch as one hundred,
merely by concentrating thereon
the means of improvement and the
care necessary for the cultivation
of one hundred acres, the result
must be profits of mipd, body and
substance.
Now only for a moment calculate
the difference in labor in hauling
the manure over one hundred
acres and ten, and after that the
spreading’of it about. Then comes
ten times the plowing and sowing,
Tjith ten times the quantity of
seed, mowing or reaping and bind
ing and raking and gathering one
hundred acres, when all the pro
duce might have been raised on
ten acres.
Last spring I put as mnch labor
in preparing three aeres of com
as I usually put on nine, and made
sixteen barrels, or eighty bushels,
to the acre. A handsome profit for
my extra labor.
One of my neighbors sowed
twelve and a half bushels of pvheat
on ten acres, in his nsnal slip-shod
way. His land was very poor, mid
after all his labor he reaped only
twelve bushels of wheat, losing a
half bushel in the operation. Being
disgusted at his failures, he con
cluded to try a different plan. He
pat about the same labor and ma
nure on five acres as he did on the
ten before and made fifty bushels
of better wheat, with the seasons
about the same.
Again another neighbor sowed
to wheat thirteen acres of uniform
soil; twelve acres were sowed in
the usual way, well plowed,] har
rowed level, and the wheat har-
rowed in. The other acre was
well broken and six tons of ma
nure broadcasted in and thorough
ly incorporated with the soil In
doing this the soil was thoroughly
pulverized. This acre yielded
twenty-two and a half bushels; the
twelve acres yielded only six bush
els per acre. The grain on the
one acre cost forty-five cents a
bushel; on the twelve acres sixty-
five cents a bushel. Yet with all
this evidence in favor of high cul
ture, we still spread our labors over
broad acres. These are facts, not
fancy sketches. The yield given
above may seem a very small one,
but from my observation, and facts
gleaned from abroad, I doubt that
half our farmers reap on an aver
age ten bushels of wheat and thir
ty bushels of com to the acre.
Wtfhington Post.
We have lately seen a .story
going the rounds of the press to
the” effect that Allen Pinkerton,
the original Pinkerton detective,
did his first work of that kind in
a murder case in Philadelphia. We
happen to know, however, that he
did not The late Lather Dear
born, for many years a state sena
tor in Hlinois, once told the writer
how Allen Pinkerton came to en
gage in detective work.
In 1850 Mr. Dearborn was sher
iff of Wayne county, Illinois. His
office was at Geneva, the county
seat, and he had a deputy in El
gin, one of the larger cities of the
conniy. At that time an enor
mous amount of counterfeit money
was being circulated in and. about
Chicago, and one day Alexander
Mitchell, at that time the presi
dent of the company whose money
was being counterfeited, wrote to
Sheriff Dearborn, saying that be
believed the spurious money was
being manufactured by a man who
lived under an assumed name in
Elgin. Sheriff Dearborn was
aware that his Elgin deputy conld
do nothing in the case because ev
erybody knew him.
At that time two brothers were
running a little cooper shop in
Dundee, a small town near Elgin.
Mr. Dearborn had, in the coarse
of his political canvass, become ac
quainted with one of the brothers,
and knew him to be a bright,
shrewd sort of a fellow, so he went
to Dundee and engaged him to
work up the case. The young
cooper sent a note to the suspect
ed man saying that a friend had
told him that he conld bny some
“queer,” and that he wished to do
so. The counterfeiter replied that
if the cooper would meet him at a
certain hour in the evening at
certain corner with a stipulated
sum of money .he would be sup
plied witb a package containing
the “goods” he required. The
cooper was on hand with the mon
ey, and when be had made the
purchase he quietly drew a pistol
and marched the counterf eiter off
to the lock-np.
The prisoner turned out to be
old .Clegg, a tall, handsome schol
arly old gentleman, with a patri
archal beard and tbe most charm
ing manners, but one of the most
troublesome counterfeiters that
ever flourished in this country.
The young cooper was Allen Pin
kerton. This was the beginning
of his detective work. Soon after
ward he went to Chicago and was
placed on the detective force, and
served there until he founded the
private detective agency which
still bears his name, and the im
press of his peculiar genius.

The reality of coarse is quite

the same as.our own. At sny rate,

stones, if we are to believe the Lew

a scene in a country court ruom in

ago the public debt of France
amounted to twelve hundred and
forty millions of ponnds sterling
—in our currency six thousand
two hundred millions of dollars.
The public debt of Russia, which
is the next heaviest, was the same
year bat about three thousand six
hundred millions of dollars, while
that of England was a little over
three thousand five hundred mil
lions of dollars. The expenditures
of France have been increasing in
the same proportion, while the rev
enue receipts have relatively de
creased. In 1876 the total ex
penses were five hundred millions
of dollars, but »n 1890 the ex

Canada, Cuba, and two or three
others of the West India Islands
—the very countries from which
the largest trade could be expected
nnder such an arrangement. The
dependence of these countries up
on Great Britain and Spain conld
be no obstacle to reciprocity with
them, or at best there is no appa
rent obstacle that should prevent
the offer to them. Great Britair,
especially, would be as likely to
consent to snch an arrangement
for Canada as any republic repre
sented in the congress would be to
make one for itsalf. Bat tbe Can
adians and Nova Scotians catch
great deal of fish, and Canada has
a number of important manufactu
ring establishments, besides coal,
iron ore, and large forests of val
uable timber, the free admission of
whose products would make them
compete with the manufactures'of
our northern states, the ores of
Pennsylvania, Ohio, eta, the fish
of'Now England, and the timber
of onr western lake states; while
the products of the “independent”-
countries south of us would com

southern products.

“Why, ’squire,” said the aston
ished witness, “yon know my name
as well as I know yourn.”
“Never you mind what I know,
or what'I don’t know,” was the
cantion given, with magisterial
severity. “I asked the question in
my official capacity, and you’re
bound to answer it nnder oath.
With a contemptuous snort the
witness gave his name, and the
questioning proceeded.
“Where do you live?”
“Wal, I swum!” ejaculated the
man “Why,” he continued, i,ap
pealing to the laughing listeners,
“I’ve lived in the town all my life,
an’ so’s he”—pointing to the- jus
tice—“and to hear him go on yon
would think—”
“Silence!” thundered the irate
magistrate. “Answer my questions,
or I’ll fine you for contempt of
court.”
Alarmed by the threat, the wit
ness named his place of residence,
and the examination went on.
“What is your occupation?”
“Huh?”
“What do you do for a living?”
“Oh, git out, ’squire! Just as if
you don’t know that I ’tend gardens
in the summer season and saw
wood Winters!”
“As a private citizen I do know
it, but as the court I know nothing
about you,” explained the justice.
“Wal, squire,” remarked the
puzzled witness, “if you know
somethin’ outside the court-room
an’ don’t know nothin’ in it, you’d
better git oat and let somebody try
this case that’s got boss sense.

afterward he commenced a suit
against the owner of the place,
calling for heavy damages on the
ground that the woand he had re
ceived rendered him permanently
unable to earn a living. The de
fense was that he could beg just
as. well as ever, and that the injury
in question so far from being a
disadvantage, only increased bis
chances in bis profession. But
the court held that the proprietor
of a house is responsible for the
safety of people who come to visit
him, even when the object of the
visit is to make an appeal to his

The degree of prosperity which
Georgia is enjoying is largely due
to the improvement in farming.
For several years our farmers have
diversified their products and have
endeavored to curtail the expense
of production. The result has been
that our farmers have made more
money, having freed themselves
from the bondage of mortgages,
and have attained independence.
All efforts which the farmers of
Georgia are making to better their
condition shonldreceive the encour
agement and hearty co-operation
of all onr people, as upon the farm
ers’ prosperity depends the pros
perity of all classes.
Explorer Stanley says that dar
ing his recent African expedition
he came across a new interesting
race of blacks, tbe Wahoumos, who
were absolutely European in type
and very intelligent- They ap
peared to be descendants of the
ancient Ethiopians, who settled in
some way not known to him in
Fquatorial Africa. These people
never intermingled with the abori
ginal races, but kept their blood
intact, considering the ordinary
negroes beneath them.
our state election, the political
quid mines are on the qui vive to
catch every whisper that touches
upon the political ontlook. Ap
prehensions are springing np in
various quarters that the former
leaders in politics will be asked to
listen to the views of those who
have not hitherto specially figured
in the political field. Changes are
anticipated and new measures are
looked for. The firm stand that
is being taken by the alliancemen
of Georgia is begetting inquiries
among political aspirants thus far
in advance of the ejection battle.
Who will be the next governor,
the next Senator, the next repre
sentatives, are questions that are
being asked qnietly in various
forms. Politicians’ past records
and present views on important
and leading questions are being
sought after that they may, if pos
sible, bo definitely known before
tbe time for action arrives.
The grea’t battles fonght in onr
legislative halls during the past
few years between the working ele
ments of the people and monopo
lies have pair the masses to think
ing and on the hunt for men as ex
ecutives and law makers who have'
the moral courage to stand np
boldly, against every species of
monopolistic tactics, in defense of
the rights and . interests of the
working people.
Indeed there seems to be a
growing opinion among the work
ing voters .of this country that
men of sound views, of strong com
mon sense, of practical judgment,
of Unswerving integrity, and not
political traders, are the men to
whom should be entrusted the
management and affairs of gov
ernment. To snch men the people
are looking for equitable laws, and
for the maintenance of their rights
as citizens nnder the constitution
as it is, and to snch men all people
can confide the trost to be dele
gated. Hence it is that there is
some anxiety manifesting itrelf
among political wire pullers.

Catarrh.
Catarrh- is a most disgusting ail
ment and yet many unnecessarily
suffer with the disease. They will
try local applications, which do no
good whatever, but fail to try such
constitutional treatment as" is af
forded by a use of B. B. B. (Bo
tanic Blood Balm), which removes
the mucous poison in the blood and
thus eradicates the cause of the
disease.
N. C. Edwatd, Lampassaa Springs,
Tex., writes: “I was greatly an
noyed with catarrh which impaired
my general health. The discharge
from my nose was very offensive,
and I used various advertised rem
edies without benefit until finally
the use of B. B. B. entirely cured
me. I am Droud to recommend a
blood remedy with such powerful
curative virtue.” -
B. C. Kinard & Son, Towaliga,
Ga., writes: “We induced a neigh
bor to try B. B. B. for catarrh,
which he thought incurable as it
had resisted all treatment It de
lighted him and continuing its use
he was cured sound and well”

As the time draws near when
the State of Georgia will again of
fer for lease the Western & Atlan
tic Railroad, it is interesting to
note that the business of the road
is showing a-marked increase over
formbr years. We gather from a
recent statement, if correct, that
the reports for February show an
increase ovpr the same time last
year, and the receipts for were the
largest for any February during
the past five years. This is very
gratifying news when we have
been told that the State will have
to offer a depreciated property to
.bidders, and that the lease will
probably go begging. TheAdairs-
ville Ledger, published on the line
of the road, in some recent com
ments on its prosperous condition,
says: “The Western & Atlantic is
worth more per month than the
last Legistnre fixed, and all the re
ports to the contrary are lies pnt
out by paid agentB of opposition
lines, or men who wish, to make it
appear that the road is not paying
expenses, and get it for a song.”
All of which goes to show that
the State will offer to bidders a
valuable, paying property and that
the new lease will be in demand.

She knew it was neeessay to be
come beautiful in order to be con
sidered attractive, and so she made
the art of beautifying a stndy.
She felt it wiser to be pi amp and
hearty than to be thin and delicate.
To this end she knew good health
was essential. She had suffered
from backaches, sideaches and
bearing down pains, and was rest
less until she found the medicine
she needed. It improved her ap
petite and digestion. Her habits
became regular. Her flesh in-
creased and became more firm and
solid. Her complexion became
clear and beautiful and free from
pimples. Her lips grew red and
her cheeks grew rosy. She did not
know an ache or pain. Exercise
gave her pleasure and she became
the life of her companions. She
could ride a tricycle for many
miles and never seem to grow
weary. Her laughter was catch
ing and all the young men loved
her. She is now a happy wife
and mother. Who was she? What
was her name? Well, no matter,
let us know the medicine she U3ed.
