ON THE RISE.
The Farmers on the Rise More
Cor u and YVheat.
The Squtliern Farmer raises cotton
ships it*to the North and to England
pays for having it manufactured into
cloth and calico, buys it back in this
shape and ptys freight on it both
ways.
He ships his seed to the various
mills in the country and buys back
the seed for fertilize . The oil he gels
back by purchase under the name of
leaf lavd. The ashes of the bulls he
also buys hack for the potash it con¬
tains. If he did not lose by the trans¬
action, the men who handle his pro
duct would not gain.
The money he gets for his cotton
and seed goes to pay debts contracted
when goods were high. lie seldom
gets the benefit of prices that follow
cotton down, but buys on the high
and sells on the low market.
One hundred dollars in September
as a rule, will purchase for the farm
tliat which requires $130 in the spring;
The fanner therefore repays not only
the $130 which he, borrows, in the
spring, generally at the rate of 12 or
15 per cent, but as a matter of fact
pays the $80 for the use of the $100.
As rega/ds guano, the situation is no
better. The farmer, for the want of
clear money in the fall and spring
binds himself to pay $36 to $40 per
ton for fertilizers- the Ingredients -of
A’hich would cost him from $18 to
$25. These facts illustrate some of
the evils that afllict the farmer. Some
of them are beyond any rejnedy he
can supply, but the worst are within
his control.
Peter Henderson, the veteran gar¬
dener impresses upon farmers the
necessity of keeping a little money
on hand. The absence of it, he holds,
will sometimes endanger a whole
crop. Southern fanners have learned
this as thoroughly as lias Peter Hen¬
derson. ‘
Ot course perplexing problems are
involved in the remedy of these
drawbacks, but the farmer must
solve thorn Jo bucceed. jk . glance
into any neighborhood will show
that the men who have succeeded did
so by overcoming these obstacles. If
to the much advised Georgia farmers
we might make one suggestion ip
this matter, it would be to figure out
in advance the sum absolutely' neces¬
sary to tide over betoveen seasons and
to p-oceed to plant a special crop to
secure it, say of peas, potatoes, or
oats. $ecure the needed sum from a
plat of ground not usually planted,
by extra personal effort, even if it
takes two or three years to do it.
When you have it, replace it religi¬
ously every year from the proceeds
of your sales aud never under any
circumstances let any demand tempt
you to use it except in place of the
money you have been accustomed to
borrow. The saving in interest, the
in the saving in
mental worry, the growth of inde¬
pendence of spirit and of chccrful
ness will be vast dividends upon the
exertion and self denial neci ssary to
the success desired. And tne success
itself will be money in your pocket
iu other ways, fit is a great thing to
have learned how t* save.
The farming interests of Georgia
are not in such prosperous condition
tut way be desired, but we notice a
marked improvement, There ara
more little eimnnelaby which mo"ey
flows into the average farm than
tl «re was ten yeara ago. There is no
doubt of this, And there I* mor*
#“r« and more MtftfftUMd at kmm.
There is a silent liquidation going otytie
all the timej tlie county sites
State on the first Tuesday are de¬
pressing neighborhoods. Aftejr
awhile however, the level will be
reached everywhere and a
foundation for a prosperous agricul¬
ture be obtained. We are not afraid
now, of ruin. The Georgia farm and
farmer have lived through experien¬
ces' that while they grievously op
pressed, yet demonstrated what this
land and people can endure. When
the bucket is at the bottom of ffie
well it will rise no matter which way
the windlass turns. Our bucket is
rising, the shorter the rope gets the
lighter the load.—Macon Telegraph,
BEAUTY - OF CUBAN WOAJEN.
Among, Cuban women the eyes,
the suple grace of the person an f |
the dainty, delicate foot are the most
striking points. Tteii faces are in¬
teresting rather than beautiful, being
oval, with delicate, protruding chink.
Their mouths ar generally large, but
generally well formed, with a sugges
tion of pathos m the slightly droop
ing corners. Their complexion are
pale and creamy, but fair lips are
scarlet, mobile and tremulous. T he
ieeth, perfect in fornt and dnzzingly
white, in contrast with the lips. The
hair is lead back in youth. But the*
eyes are priceles, crowning loveliness,
the never-ending power and eh and
of the fair Cubanese. When you
say that behind their long lashes am)
languidly moving lips they are large',
dark, dreamy, ybt glowing, flashing
with fire or melting with languor^
ybu have only hinted at the inoxprerj
sible expression. They talk witfl
their eyes as no other women iu thi
world do. - i

OUR INDIAN RESERVATIONS,
The Indian reservations of the
United States contain 200,000 squaie
miles, aud their population is -about
200,000. Twenty-six thousand square
miles would locate each family upon
a half sect ion of land, leaving a sur
plus of about 170,000 square miles,
which would produce annually $4,-

BRA VERY” REWARDED.
Governor Gordon has commuted
a portion of the sentence of Robert
N. Groves, convicted of a misde¬
meanor at tlic September term of
the Superior court of Habersham
county and sentcuced to pay a fine
of one thousand dollars, to be con¬
fined in the county jail for six
months and to work on the chain
gang for ttn months.
Groves has a history. lie was at
one time a highly honored citizen of
Habersham c< unty, and held the pos¬
ition of ordinary of the countv.
One night the safe where the records
of the county were kept was forced
open and the records destroyed.
Groves was convicted of complicity
in the act and was sentenced as
stated.
The Governor has been beseiged
‘with petitions from hundreds of re¬
spectable citizens of Habersham conn
ty including members of the bar,
bounty officials and the solicitor
ers! who represented the State at the
trial, all of whom united in asking
Groves release. Alany have filed
statements to tlio effect that the
principal witness against Groves is
totally unworthy of belief. The
Governor in his order says that
Groves has conducted himself with
propriety since his conflnemenf. All
those considerations doubtless bad
Weight with the Governor, it was not
on account of thes e that the order oi
,commutation was made.
It is a reward for bravery.
■1 Not long since the prisoners in the
.flubersham county jail attempted
-to stampede, hoping to make
tlieir- escape. Groves, at the peril
of his own life, aided in preventing
the escape ana received serious
bodily injuries in doing so. It
is on ibis account that the welcome
older is made.
Governor Gordon orders “that
Groves be pardoned of the offense of
which he is convicted and that he be
discharged and set at liberty when
he shall hava completed his term of
six months imprisonment, and has
paid the cine thousand dollar fine.
The six month’s imprisonment was
completed yesteiday.
It now remains for Groves or his
friend* to raise the money necessary
to pay the fine., When that is done
he wi.l be a free man—free because
brave.—Constitution.
WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD
Dr. T. E. Pennington, of Palmet¬
to, Ga,‘ a well known and a promi¬
nent physician says- During my
career in the practice of medicine,
I used a great deal of the preparation
known as Alother’s Friend, *nd want
to reccommend it to every woman

ADULTERATION.
Few tilings are honest. Now and
<hen the jhemists who have done so
much to tench ad liberation, reveal
the secrets of the charnel house. The
people appear to be powerless to pre¬
vent such abuses. It wotfhf require
another world and a different juris?,
diction to settle the cheats of this
sphere,
Air. P. D. Aimour, havflig occas¬
ion to come to blows with § rival cou
eern in the matter of Ini-d Jtells how
this greas,- is compounded.; As abort
one-half the lard product is in excess
of what the hog product can possi"
bly pan out, it stands to reason that
the oilier half must bo fraudulent or
a sham. The debatable half is com
posed of tallow, cotton seed oil, and
water, injected in the shape of steam
The best pai t of the lard thus manip¬
ulated iscofton seed oil.

pose upon the public should try to

able for them to becppie honest and

Spies was in tlpe county jail at the
time of the alleged mar tinge, he
could not have been at the village of

A level headed editor writes what
he conscientiously feels, as follows:
“A newspaper is a picture of the place

say it will do no good should re¬
member this: Every business no

represented iu a home paper, It is
a home institution, and should hon
est.ly receive all that is due it, for
the road of a newspaper man is a

Alaine has abolished capital pun¬
ishment. Imprisonment for life has
been substituted for all -cases of
murder m the first degree. Such
convicts, however, are to be kept iu
close •onfinement. away from all as¬
sociation and no pardoning nower is
left the Governor and council, unless
the convict is proved innocent.

BOB INGERSOLL ON BEECIIER
“fifahlxood is His Forte, A Touching
Tribute Paid in 1880.
Do you want to known what Bob
Ingersoll thinks of the great man who
lies in dead Brooklyn?
Would you hko to known what
the renowned infidel wrote with his
own hands of Ilenry War! Beecher.
It was in the fall of 1880.
Air. Beecher had introduced the
infidel ’ political
Oiiitov to a great
gathering in the Brooklyn academy
of music, saying that the Colonel was
the most brilliant living or.lDr in
any tongue.
A day or to later the Colonel was
asked by a Herald reporter what he
thought of Air. Beecher, lie at once
sat down and wrote ns fast as his
pencil could trot ever the paper
thus:
“I regard him as the greatest man
in any pulpit of the world. lie
treated me with a generosity nothing
could exceed. He rose grandly above
the prejudices supposed to belong to
his class, and only as a man
ooulil act without a chain upon his
brain and only kindness in bis
heart,
“I told him that night that I con¬
gratulated the world that it had a
minister with an intellect mil horizon
b.ioad enough and a mental sky slud
d°d with stare of genius enough to
hold all creeds m scorn that shock
the hoart of man. I think that Air.
Beecher has liberalized the English
speaking people of the world. Ido
not think lie agrees with me. He
holds to many things that I most pas¬
sionately deny. But in common we
believe in the liberty of thought.
“Aly principal objections to ortho¬
dox religion are two—slavery here
and hell hereafter. I do not believe
that, Air. Beecher on these two points
can disagree with me. The real dif¬
ference bcfween us is, he says God,
I say nature. The real agreement
between us is, we both say liberty.”
“What is Air. Beecher’s forte?”
asked the reporter.
“lie is of a wonderful poetic tem¬
perament. In pursueing any course
of thought his mind is like a stream
running tlnougk the scenery of fairy¬
land. The stream murniers and
laughs, while tl e banks grow green
and the vines blossom.
His brain is controlled by his
baart. lie thinks) in pictutf
os. With him logic means mental
melody. The discordant is absurd.
“For years he has tried to hide the
dungeon of oithodoxy with the ivy
of imagination. Now and then far
a leafy moment curtain he aud woul is 1 draw horrified aside lhe|
to see
Lb« iizzerds, svakce, basiliks, and ab¬
normal monsters of the orthodox age
and then he utters a great cry', the
protest of a lowing, throbbing heart.
“He is a great thinker, a marve¬
lous orator, and in my judgment,
greater and grander than any creed
or church Besides all this he treat¬
ed me like a king. Manhood is his
forte and I expect to live end die
his friend.”—N Y Herald'

leader, lie is about five feet nine
inches in height, Dut looks taller,
Ilis build is muscular, and but- a
vary short tune ago he was able to
take a hand at felling a tree with
young men. There was a time when
he was ono of the most skillful of
horsemen. Ha is sull a groat pod'
estrian, and there scarcely passes a
day that he is not to be seen walking,
lie walks with his head thrown back
and a stop firm and rapid. His
countenance is singularly beautiful.
Ho bos largo dark eyes that flash
brilliantly,oven at his age. Deep
ret and with heavy eyelid', they
sometimes give the impiession of
the eyes of a hooded eagle. Ho
lias a largo exquisito'y eliisled nose.

The head is unusually faige. It was
in early youth covered with thick
black haiy. The brow is lofty and
broad and very expressive., The
complexion is white almost as wax,
and gives the face a look of wonder¬
ful delicacy. The face is the most
expressive in the House of Com-
inors. It reflects over/ emotion as
clearly aud rapidly itf a summer lake

stone is angry his brow is clouded
and his eyes shine. When ho is
amused his faco beams. When be
is contemplative his lips curl imd
his head is tossed. Ilis air is joy¬
ous if things go well, and mournful
when th’ngs go ill; vheugh when
