Editors A llmity At ten: To write for
a paper. I have been told, is some
trouble. Didn’t much believe it un
til 1 commenced this; and while we
hear a great many tilings, there is Imt
little to be written. But here goes.
This part of Georgia, railed Cal
houn, is just now a little iliiil. The
long rainy spell lengthened the lace
of every farmer to sncli an extent that
a hearty laugh is impossible, and
they only sniole a smile just occasion
ally when they heard sonic weather
prophrt declare that next week il
would be fair; and now it is fair.—
Tho clouds have been heartily rolled
away liv a cold uoitli wind, anil the
farmer's face was for a time bright,
until he hud calculated the immense
damage. Then was heard from all
sides gloomy muttcrings of the dark
next year; for the guano man had
pocketed onc-tliird or more of Hie
cotton already gathered and waiting
with hungry eyes for the small bal
ance yet behind, to-wit: That top
crop. But with all this the acreage
in oats, wheat and other grain crop-
will lie increased about one-third,
anil with a good oat and wheat crop
Calhoun won’t perish.
The potato crop is tine, unusually
so; cane ditto. The pea crop rotted
in the licids, and there will be no seed
saved; yet we hear that we are no
worse off than others. So no more
grumbling from this section.
O. H. Paul, our talented Represen
tative, can now be found at bis old
home in Leary, where his host of
friends welcome Kim, every olio feel
ing that in him Calhoun lias a man
on whom she can depend ; and if von
.-liould hear of liis name mentioned
for a third term don’t be surprised;
for a great many here believe in let
ting well enough alone, and w|i
cept as a place of amusement for
young people.
Morgan holds her own seemingly.

are lively and doing a good business.

Leary is all right, ns usual—overy
one on the push, trying to drive dull
times away. Her Uovil, McGregor,
Price ami Turner are nine to her
every interest, mol I.enry can boast
of being one of the best cotton mark;
els this side of Albany. Asa inntler
of course we can also report the
lieallli of la-ary and vicinity good.
Arlington, by the wav, is in Cal
houn county, mid we are not nsliuni-
ed to own ii. by any means, for ere
long she will lie a city indeed, anil
Albany may well look to her luurcls.
She too lias’ a score of merchants over
on the alert to make a noise for their
town. Lately she lias built a good
warehouse and cotton yard, where
Boss lteekoin rules supreme, and lie
too will see that your cotton brings
a fair price.
Williamsburg, von know, is on the
railroad between Leary and Arling
ton, mid is mu by the Messrs. Keel,
ami a lively run they make for both.
Leary and Arlington feel their pow
er, and if yon are in want of good
bargains and clever treatment, don’t
pass them by.
And Wlilm-y, tin* sober, steady,
even-going little town, is also to l:e
proud of. She lias a store presided

Dozier, who is ever on the look-out

a pleasant place, and lias several line

search of a healthy place. Cau.

From tl*e New York Times, Rep.]
Although the mass of the republi
can party is supposed to have been
concerned about, and tu sympathy
with, the rnlorod people who have
left tlie south on account of unjust
treatment from their former masters,
such would not seem to he tlie ease
from tin- slender contributions made
for their repef. The Kansas Freed
man’s Relief Association lias recently
reported that less than $9,400 in nil
lias been given in their aid by twenty
states ami the District of Columbia.
Ohio lias been most liberal, or least
illiberal, and she lias contributed less
(ban $3,000. This state linsgiven not
quite $1,200; Massachusetts only
$290; Indiana, $94,30; Minnesota,
$193: Wisconsin, $10: Connecticut,
$5; and Maine $3. We cannot re
member when money has been st
charily bestowed in this country up
on any cause accounted worthy.—
Facts speak louder titan words, and
' indicate that tlie body of republicans
cannot believe the fugitive negroes
to lie in any special need. If they
arc, or have been, they cannot have
been much helped. The whole num

xpenditure of money. Ten or fifteen

seriously doubt whether tlie whole
vineyard will produce enough grapes
in tlie first twenty years to fill my
watch-pocket, without taking out the
watch.
The ladies of Shorter College,
Home, have appointed me an honor

And now for the weather. Of
course none of your readers know n
thing about the weather, and the
American people can a-certain ii
from no other pen than mine. The
weather! Everybody gives every
body bis or her deliberate opinion
about the weather. It is nlwnv* a
“fine day,” or a “had d-y,” and no
person ever takes the pains to inform
us precisely how tine or how had it
is. This is provoking. It leaves iih
in the most miserable uncertainty on
the subject. Through the aid ot Mr.
Squibob, of San Franei-co, I am able
to adjust ibis delicate and important
matter. Sqnibob expresses cvcry-
inan to lie sacrificed upon tlie altar
ot a common country. No need ot
this; Smitli is tlie mail, at least so
think the voters down here. The-
have tried him and found him honest
and true to the care; so charge one,
two or three hurrah* for Tele .Smith
to Calhoun, and ns many delegate,
when llie time copies. But if ciiaugc
we must, why not start a boom rigid
here.
Bill enough of politics, and lets talk
about tlie Fair in Albany; for on all
sides you hear the query, “Are you
going to the Fair?" “Yes,” is inva

every one else ip-re will lake more
interest in your Fair than over be

lie derived therefrom, and are deter

And why should not this eoiiuly con

can’t we make as iiiurli cotton, corn,

there arose a misunderstanding as In

The Baptist Review presents a view
of the increase of Baptists which is

population of the world increases at
its present ratio, in 2MX) A. I), every
body in the world will lie Baptists.’’
If such a stnle of things should come

Kllerslle’s pleasant brown eyes, fixed
full on Hie fire, saw—no one can tell
wlial or how intlelithey saw!
“.Suppose she should say ‘no,’” he
burst out, seemingly o/n oyiox In noth

“Suppose she shouldn't,” observed
Guy, dryly.
“I tell you, old fellow, it’s exactly
like having u tooth pulled out. Your
friends stand liv mid snv : “Be a mail;
it’s nothing!’ It isn't iliev who are

“Complimentary to Miss Clen.”
“Nonsense. Yon know wlint I

“Very well,” said Barnes, indiffer

that you are to live and die an old
bachelor.”
“I didn't snv Hint.”
“Oil, I beg pardon. You expect
I'miny is going to propose to you ;
llint's it."
"You are a heartless misrreant,”
Kllerslic cried out, half laughing, half
impatient, as lie sprang to Ids feet and
tossed the remnant of his cigar into
the fire, “and I shall not waste any
more words upon you—unless, in
deed, you’ll go round to the fnir with

The linll was nil a glitter with gas
lights and fragaut witli tlowers when
lie got there; the pretty feminine

(•■II laden, was all smiles anil dim

Mr. Ellcrslie found himself greeted
with acclamations.
“You will take a share. Mr. Ellcrs
lie?”
“Do please put your name down
here, Sir. Ellerslie; there are only
ten blanks left.”
“Oh, Mr. Ellerslie, you are the very
one we are waiting for. I’ve kept
seven for von—seven is always a
luekv number.’’
“Mr. Ellerslie! Mr. Ellerslie! don’t,
pray, spend all your money until
you’ve taken a share in this mam
moth doll, with a trunk full of
clothes.”
And thus our hero was flung hitli-
r mid you on the waves of the fair,
drawing nearer, however, with every
iikscription, to the table over which
shone the ldpe stars of Fanny Clcn’s
lint wl.en lie got there he was

Fanny looked womlerlngly up.
“It's a line evening,” ho hazarded.
“Is it?*’ asked Funny. “Why, I
thought il was snowing!”
“So it Is,” said our iicro, growing
cry red, mid overturning with his
lliow a crimson Venetian flask (lor
which he immediately had to pay a
sovereign.) “I—I mean it isn’t a very
tine evening.”
•f>h !*’ said Fanny.
‘Yes,” said Mr. Ellorslie, feeling
acutely that he had made a donkey
of himself.
And then he went away,and didn’t-
see Fanny Cleu again in the whole
evening—probably because she was
the only person in the whole room
that i e eared a tig about seeing at all.

The hlnrk-pycd little roiisili ad

litlle room, surrounded liy beads of

“Ilow do you do, Mr. Ellerslie?”
said Fanny, coloring mid smiling, “I

“Exactly so,” said Mnrtvii, anil
then lie reflected how imieli more up-

“I—1—the fuel is, Miss Clen,” said
Mr. Ellerslie, plunging in sheer des
peration into the midst of his subject,
“I have called—1 hope you won’t be
vexed—you have only to say so if yon
don’t like.”
Fanny dropped her sprig or helio
trope, and looked up in surprise.
“I know it isn’t of much conse
quence,” went on Mr. Ellerslie, turn
ing the pasteboard liox round and
round in confusion, but if you’ll ac

The damask roses deepened on
Fanny’s fair face. It had come at
last, then, the pi-uposul she had anti
cipated so long ami anxiously.
“Not of pinch consequence. Oh,
Mr. Ellerslie !”*hc repeated reproach
fully :
“Would you care for it!" he de
manded, quite oblivious, in the em
barrassment of the moment, that he
hadn’t even named the gift,
“Care for it?” the tears sparkled
into Fanny's eyes. “When you kne.w
that I love you, Martyn.”
And she ran iuto the arms of our
astonished hero.
When he went down the door-tops
lie was an engaged young man, how
and when he scarcely knew himself.
And, as fate would have it the first
personage agaiust whom he tumbled
was Guy Barnes.
“Hollo I” said Guy. “What’s up ?”

mid Inving in liis arms the huge wax
en aliouiiiiatioii, with its flossy yellow
iirls nml imposing pink and white
omplcxion; while somebody else
brought t|ic big trunk and little
bandbox.
•‘H’-sjust like traveling with a wife,”
mid Sibyl, mischievously.
“But what the—alicrn I wliat am
to do with it ?” asked onr bewildered
burn.
Give It to somebody." sab) Sibyl,
inwardly hoping lie would act
promptly Oil the suggestion, mid be
stow tlie’ prize on her.
“Any one would lie delighted to
receive such a present.”
“Do you think bo would?” asked
Mr. Ellerslie, vacantly. And then he
went away.
Great stupid fellow 1” cried Sibyl,
spitefully,mid she tripped back to her
table,”
never saw such a goose,” said
Laura Barrington, who had three sis
ters of her own at home.
But what am I to do with it?'
said Mr. Ellerslie to himself, aR he
traversed the wintry gloom of the
midnight, struets.
“Oh, I have it I I’ll give it to Fanny
Clen—and she can make a Christmas
present of it to her little blnek-syod
miisin I”
And he laid the doll, rejoicing^ on
a sofa, and went to hull, sinking into
dream-land just about tho time that
Fanny Clen was taking the lmir-pins
out oi* her magnificent golden hair
before the dressing bureau in her own
apartment.
“Why, Funny, what ails you ?”cried
Dora, her oldest sister. “You’re cry
ing."
“I’m so tired,” guillily confessed
poor Fanny.
And she wept herself In sleep,
thinking how foolish she hail been
mid that of course Martyn Ellerslie
ilid'nl erne a straw about her. Why
should lie?
Mr Ellerslie rose the next morning
full of Ids luoiiientoiis resolve, mol
made snob a toilet tlml llie very land

with a big doll, neatly oiieiisod in licr
piistrbonad box, iiiidor Ids ni'lli, elect
ed, profanely :
“Oh, my eye, what a swell!”
fairest of her sex?
“Of course, who else should ivbe ?”
“But I thought you couldn’t screw
your courage up to the proposing
mark?’’
“I didn’t propose.”
Guy Barnes stared.
‘‘You—didn’t—propose ? Then
how could she have accepted you ?”
“That’s just what I can’t exactly
comprehend myself,” said the puzzled
lover. “We arc engaged—that isoer-
tnin—blit I can’t for the life of tne
remember when or how I proposed.”
“But of course you proposed." per
sisted Guy. “People always do gel
a little flurried, von know.”’
“Do they? Well, I suppose that
was the ease with me. But l don’t
remember”—
“Oh, don’t be such a ninny !” said
Guy Barnes, impatiently.
“I wish I could remember just
what I said, though,” observed Mr.
Ellerslie.
And even after he was duly mar
ried he never could quite recall
whether he proposed or not. But as
long as dear little Fannv was all his
own what did it signify’?
The Renfroe Trial.

The Atlanta correspondent of the
Savannah News, in writing oftlie
Itenfroe trial, says: “1 do affirm that
sharper means were never resorted
to before in such a cuurs to secure a
verdict of not guilty for the accused.
No jury was ever so thoroughly can
vassed and furnished with proofs of
innocence in private.” The writer,
who was an eye witness of all the
scenes of the trial, can affirm that he
never saw. nor expects to see “shar
per means” more nssidiously applied
to obfaiu a verdict of guilty. Prom
inent men ill Atlanta and from other
placcs besieged senators to get them
to vote guilty. Combinations were
actually formed to take the place of

AH the Jewish synagogues in Eng
land, France, Germany, Bavaria, atfd
generally throughout Europe, except
Hamburg Synagogue, will send del
egates to the Loudon Conference.—
The objoot of this gathering is to re'
vise the Jewish ritual in regard to
several of its provisions, which are
now felt to be unnecessary, burden
some, and out of spirit with the cus
toms of the age. The question of the
abolition of Saturday, now kept as
the Jewish Sabbath, will probably
entne up for discussion. Jewish bus
iness men affirm that their church
customs now place them at a disad
vantage, making it impossible for
them to do business more than five
days in the week. They favor either
the entire abolition of Saturday as a
holiday, or the unity of the Jewish
Sabliath with the Christian Sunday.
Advice t« parents: Whenever you
go to church take your baby. If
there is any one thing a baity appre
ciates more than another it is a ser
mon. A pow seems to inspire it with
more confidence in its howling abili
ties than a cradle. A baby is some
times a groat relief to a sermon;
lends it back-ground, variety, fancy
As nn antidote to n soprano, a baby
administered in Inrgc doses is of great
service, Ne matter if all the people
in church do look at you, and you
get red in the face in your frantic
struggles to pacify your dumpling.—
Fume is little more than notice, and
you certainly have the latter. Take
your baby and be famous.
