In Darkest Cohuttah.
A Game With the Boys.
It is not to be understood in these
articles that any reflection is meant by
the word “Cracker.” Much of all that is
stable, permanent and worthy of emulation
in Georgia history was made by such men
as Hiram Warner. Joe Brown, “Etowah
Bill” Felton, John W. Underwood, Mark
A. Cooper and others ad libatum. They
are the bone and sinew of the State and
are “Crackers."
Some years ago when Judge Jesse A.
Holtz.claw was Deputy Revenue Collector
for this district, he, C—, Col. G. —, Dr.
T.—and myself made up a trip for a
week’s exploration of the darkest Cohut
tah, our objective point being Bald Moun
tain, where‘Col W. H. Tibbs has a large
cattle ranch superintended by one Boat
wright, a crude Yorick with
Cassius Like Proportion*.
After having climbed over hills and
dales passing through deeper ravines,over
higher peaks, through “Midnight” via
“ IVindy Gap” under cliffs of bally bal
anced crags precipitately piled, squeezing
through snake infested cranies, resting
under “Skunt Chestnut,” pressing on for
a cann at “Spivey’s Shack,” and for a
drink "at the spring, a breath of fresh air
on “Tater Patch” and finally planting
the stars and stripes on old “Baldy,” we
ended two days journey on foot and in
vehicles hungry and tired. To our disap
pointment Boatwright was not at
but we found all the doors open, cattle
browsing knee deep in clover or quietly
chewing their cuds.
We tied up and made ourselves at
home. An immense spring a few yards
below the house emptied into a large
basin or lake, fringed with holly, the
Rattlers Favorite Re reat.
Frogs sung “di tale amour” from their
lily leaf rafts to froggie neath the mossy
banks as she waved the twig of willow
for her lover to return -again to the Car
thegenian shores unmolested, till human
footfalls approached, “ker plunk; ker
plunk,” and then only the trembling,
nodding lillies and scattering wave cir
cles told of the recent amphibious love
scene.
“The cabin appears to be two cabins”
said the colonel as we approached it.
“That is for economy in ridge poles,”
said the doctor; “sleeping apartments on
one side and’kitchen on the other. In the
space between you keep your fishing
tackle and worms.”
We entered the right hand section of
the twin cabin, which proved to be the
kitchen side. There was not much furni
ture—a table hewn of logs, a chair of
bent saplings, and a rough bench. How
ever. we did not notice such furniture as
there was, for each of us, as we stepped
over the high th-estiold, had our atten
tion attracted by the stove.
“Well, that staggers me,” said the
colonel.
“H’m,” said the professor.
The stove was a plain small cooking
range, rather old and rusty. The strange
part about it was its position.
Ila Abbreviated Lees.
stood upon large posts which were planted
in the ground floor and were ov< r 4 feet
in height. This brought the stove away
up in midair so that the top was about on
a level with the face of the Colonel, who
is a six-footer.
Suddenly the professor buist into a
laugh.
“Oh, I understand now,” said he.
“Understand what?” said the colonel.
“Why Boatwright has his stove hoisted
up so high from the ground.”
“So I do” said the doctor, “but I sus
pect that my explanation is not the same
that any one else would offer.”
“Well, I’ll bet I’m right,” said the
professor, “and I’ll put up the money.”
“I am in this” said the judge. “I have
a clear idea about that stove and will
back It.”
“Make it a jack pot” said the colonel
“I want to take a hand.” The professor,
drew a small yellow coin from his pocket
and placed it on the table. “He has the
stove up there”*said he, “to get a better
draft. In this ratified mountain air there
is only a small amount of oxygen to the
cubic inch, and combustion is more diffi
cult to secure than|injthe lower lattitudes.
I have heard that if you get h : gh enough
up you can cook an egg—that is, I mean
water won’t boil, or something like that.”
“Is that supposed to be science?”
meekly inquired the judge.
“The right explanation,” began the
doctor, “is the simplest. My idea is
that”—
“Excuse me,” interinpted the pro
fessor, rapping the table. “Are you in
this pot.”
Doc. acquiesced, augmented the vessel
and proceeded. “Boatwright? is a tall fel
low and ha es to bend over, and if it was
lower he would have to stoop to whirl
over a johnny cake or stab a rasher or
venison, your draught theory is N. G.”
“Doc,” lemarked the judge, “I regret
tcrtell you that your money is gone.

Boatwright told me some time ago that
his pardner did all the cooking and he is
a man of short stature.” The judge then
Paid His Complements
to the jack pot and continued: “Now.
my idea is that the stove heats the room
there better than on the floor. It is only
a cooking stove, to oe sure, but when the
winter is cold it makes the room com
fortable. Being up in the middle of the
space, it heats it all equally alike, which
it could not do if it were down below.”
Said I, “It appears that none of you
have noticed the forest of hooks in the
roof just over the eaves. They are not in
use at present, but they are there for some
purpose. I imagine that during the win
ter
Hug? P ec's of Venison
dangle over the stove and are dried for
later use. Now, if the stove were on the
floor it would be to far from the roof to
be of any service in this way.”
“I think.” said the colonel, “that I
could appreciate your argument better if
you would ante.” I put up the required
palimpsest.
“Here comes old Boatwright,” shouted
the colonel. The ve'eran herdman put
down the various articles of baggage with
which his arms were loaded and came
into the kitchen where we all stood. He
glanced at the group and the stilted stove
in our midst. “I see you all air admirin’
my stove, and I’ll bet you've been won
derin’ why it’s up so high ’*
“Yes, we have,” said the professor;
“how did you know it?”'
“People most allers ginerally jest as
soon as they come in the place begin to
ask ’bout it; that’s how 1 knowed it.”
“Wfell, why is it up so high?” we all
demanded.
With a side glance at the well and al
most abnormally developed jack-pot on
the table, ani a grin that showed his
bicuspids, “You see we had to pack all
this stuff up here on mules, and ’riginally
there was fourjints uv pipe, but the cinch
wasn’t drawed tight ’nuff on the mule
that carrying them and two of’em slipped
out and rolled down the fnountain. When
we got here we found that there wasn’t
but two pieces left. I reckoned that I
would have to kinder h’ist the stove to
make it fit the pipe; so I jist in and h’isted
her.”
Boatwright got the jack pot.

The Russian Translator of DicKens,
Irinarch Ivansvich Vredensky was the
son of a poor but intelligent village
pope, or priest, who tilled his glebe to
feed and clothe his large family of
daughters and this only son, to whom
he still found time to impart the rudi
ments of education. Irinarch was a
sickly and lonesome boy, cut off from
all playfellows by bis ascetic though
well meaning father, and he grew up
to manhood in bitter -poverty, having
sometimes literally nowhere to lay his
head. Yet, in spite of all obstacles, he
became a distinguished scholar, a versa
tile linguist and a beloved pedagogue in
the military schools at St Petersburg.
He yvas growing in fame and favor
with the authorities and had been called
upon to undertake educational work of
the highest importance, when his blind
ness and premature death cut short hie
brave career. His translations of Dick
ens, Thackeray, Fenimore Cooper, etc.,
are classical and laid the foundation of
the wonderful popularity which their
works still enjoy in Russia.—Notes and
Queries.
The Gallery Silenced.
It was not through her singing that
the late Jenny Hill made her first suc
cess on the variety stage. It was through
her splendid power of repartee. She
was making her first appearance at a
small east end (London) music hall. A
rude man in the gallery interrupted,
and the chairman was powerless to
quiet him. Then Jenny Hill stepped
forward. “Let me speak to him,” she
said, and, stepping to the front of the
stage, she talked to him for half an
hour. She called him every abusive
name in a singularly rich vocabulary
and compared him to every offensive
thing she could think of. The audience
cheered her to the echo, and the man
slunk out of the room. That was tee
beginning of the fame of Jenny Hill.—

Readers of The Tribune have
learned to look forward to each new
and successful achievment of Rome’s
great daily. We have issued several
special editions since the present
management has been in charge and
we are happy to say that eacn and
every one ha’s been an improvement
on its predecessor as has been evinced
by the popular public favor with
which they have been received.
Early in Novemt er we intend to issue
a special edition which will eclipse
our previous efforts. Rome is steadily
growing and there is healthy and sub
stantial improvement going on all
over the section of country tributary
to the North Georgia metropolis. Now
is the time to keep our advantages
before the people.
In no other way can this be done
quite so successfully as through the
medium of a widely circulated news
paper like The Tribune. Every edi
tion of a special character that we
have gotten out has gone abroad on
its mission of the results
have been made apparent by the at
tention attracted to this section of
country.
We have endeavorad to make every
edition as full and complete as possi
ble, but in this one we want to cover
the whole ground. All that we ask is
the liberal co-operation of the people
for whom we have labored so earnestly
and for whom we expect to continue
to work as long as we control the des
tinies of The Tribune
It will be to the interest of every
business or professional man in North
Georgia and North and East Alabama,
to secure space in this great issue
The merchant, the manufacturer, the
land owner, the mine operator, the
professional man and all who are in
terested in educational, industrial
work, or emigration work, will be
benefitted by represention in its col
umns.
Not less than ten thousand readers,
in every part of the country, and
especially in the West and Northwest,
will read this great edition and profit
by the information gained from its
columns. Our solicitors are already
out and will make a thorough canvass
of the country contiguous to Rome
and we bespeak for them the consider
ation which they are entitled to in
promoting this laudable enterprise in
the interest of our city and section.
“For five weeks I lived on cold water,
so to speak,” writes a man who suffered
terribly from indigestion.
He could hardly keep anything on his
stomach. What stayed wasn’t properly
digested and gave him terribly pangs.
This is not an uncommon case. Dyspep
tics don’t get enough nurishment. They
are generally x thin and weak.
They may eat enough, but they don’t
digest enough. Much of what they eat
turns into poison. If this keeps on there’s
no telling what disease they may get next.
That’s why it is best to take Shaker Di
gestive Cordial, as soon as symptoms of
indigestion appear.
It cures all the evils of indigestion, and
prevents the evils which indigestion
causes.

A Hhndred Thousand Screws Ina Thimble.
The smallest screws ever made are
used in the manufacture of the minia
ture -watches which are sometimes fitted
in rings, shirt studs, bracelets, etc.
They are the next thing to being invisible
to the naked eye, looking like minute
grains of sand. With a good glass, how
ever, it may be plainly seen that each is
a perfect screw, having a number of
threads equal to 1,260 to the inch. These
tiny screws are four one-thousandths of
an inch in diameter and seven one-thou
sandths of an inch in length. It is esti
mated that a lady’s thimble of average
size would hold 100,000 of them. No
attempt is ever made to count these
“tiny triumphs of mechanical ingenu
ity” other than to get a basis for esti
mation. The method usually pursued in,
determining their number is to care
fully count ICO and then place them on
a delicate balance, the number of a giv
en amount being determined by the
weight of these.—St. Louis Republic.
Marvelcua Results.

permitted to make this extract: “I have
no hesitation in recommending Dr.
King’s New Discovery, as the lesults were
almost marvelous in the case of my wife.
While I was pastor of the Baptist church
at Rives Junction she wjs brought down
with pneumonia succeeding la grippe.
Terrible paroxysms of coughing would
last hours with little interruption, and it
seemed as if she could survive them.

Rheumatism
Is a blood disease aud only a blood reme
dy can care it. So many people make
the mistake of taking remedies which
at best are only tonics and cannot possi
bly reach their trouble. Mr. Asa Smith,
Greencastle, Indiana, says: “For years
I have suffered with Semitic Rheuma
tism, which the best physicians were un
able to relieve. I took many patent
medicines but they did not seem to
reach my trouble. I gradually grew
worse until I was un
able to take my food
