A Strange Occurrence.
Macon Telegraph 13th.
The following story was told to us
yesterday by a gentleman of Macon. It
sounds strange, but it is vouched for
by two well known ladies whose verac
ity is unquestioned. Several months
ago the wife of one of our citizens died,
leaving three or four little children.
After the death of the mother the chil
dren were taken care of by their grand
mother who lives in the upper part of
the city. The other day, Mrs. S., the
grandmother, locked up the house and
went over to spend the afternoon with
a neighbor, Mrs. H. While sitting at
the window, Mrs. S. saw a lady open
the gate and go into her yard. The
figure and general appearance of this
lady were so much like that of her
dead daughter-in-law. that both Mrs.
S. and Mrs. H. remarked it,and watch
ed her as she walked up the stairs, and
went in the house. Mrs. S. went out
immediately, as she thought the lady
was one who promised to call and have
a dress fitted. As she neared her
house her thoughts were busy over the
striking resemblance borne by the lady
visitor to the mother of the children.
When she reached the front door she
found it locked as she had left, and re
membering that she did not have the
key, started arouad the house by the
back way, wondering how the lady
could get into the house. Mrs. S. en
tered the house by the back way but
the lady had vanished. Not a sign of
her could be found, yet she was seen to
go into the house by Mrs. S. and Mrs.
H. How the lady got out without be
ing seen is a puzzle. It was rather a
strange occurrence, but there’s no nse
denying the truth of it so far as the
lady being seen to go into the yard and
house and to vanish at once. Here is
something for our learned men to fight
over.
If you are a frequenter or a resident
of a miasmatic district, barricade your

AN INTERESTING LETTER.
New York, June 9th, 1883.
Mr. Editor: I promised to write
you an occasional letter, here is No. 1.
On Monday 4tli inst., I left Americus,
to join the Committee on Technology,
in a tour of investigation among the
schools of that class in some of the
Northern States.
The Central Railroad company
through its President Captain Raoul,
had thought enough of our enterprise
to give us.A'ee transportation over its
road and by the ocean Steam Ship
Line to the city of New York and re
turn.
Oil the train as it passed Americus
I found two members of the Committee,
viz: Messrs. Watts, of Stewart, and
Spence, of Mitchell.
Forthwith the interest of the trip
began. After * preliminary exchange
of ideas upon the probable route and
methods of procedure of the Commit
tee, and the length of time it would
take to perform our duty in a satisfac
tory manner, we settled ourselves to
the quiet enjoyment of the ride, to ob
serving the condition of the crops, <sic.,
&c., along the line of the road. Note.
The crops of corn and cotton along the
Southwestern Railroad, are in a fair
condition—rather small for the time of
year,hutgiving promise of good returns.
Oats are much behind the standard of
last year. As we passed they were be
ing cut, many fields were full of shocks
and in one, a thresher was at work
cleaning the oats out. Big watermel
on patches, some apparently of fifty to
sixty acres, assured us that truck farm
ing is creeping up towards middle Geo
gia, and the fruit outlook in several
places—peaches in the orchard, peaches
in baskets for sale on the cars, and
peaches in crates and boxes in the ex
press cars en route for the northern
markets, gave promise that before
many years the sale of summer produce
will “fit the seller” in the pouches of
our farmers to an extent that will make
not only him, but all the long array of
those who claim a share in his hard
earnings, smile with delight.
Arrived in Macon we met Hon. N.
E. Harris, Chairman of our Committee,
and learned from him that several
members had preceeded.us to Savannah.
We spent the night in Macon. The
new Electric Light had been turned on
less than a week before and they dis
pensed a mild radiance over the streets
and enclosures, they will however have
to be doubled either in number or in
power before we vote them a complete
success in Macon. From one tower
the light shone directly into our sleep
ing room window, producing an effect
so similar to moonshine that one could
hardly tell the difference but the light
was quite near us, scarcely three hun
dred feet off. Before day the light
went out, whether by failure or by pur
pose wc could not tell. The electric
is a beautiful light, soft and pleasant
to the eye, and if it can be made eco
nomical and at the same time reliable it
will no doubt supplant gas light in all
our large cities. We have since seen
this light in Savannah and in New
York and have the same to say about
it in these cities as in Macon.
At 8:15 on Tuesday we took the
Central railroad train for Savannah.
Had a hot dusty ride, relieved by a
shower of rain which met us a few
miles above Wriglitville.
At Midville, No. 91, we saw an
artesian well on duty. It was the first
your scribe had ever seen—they grow
plentifully in Albany you know, but I
have never been to that city since it
was discovered to he “head quarters for
articles of that description.” But the
Midville well was performing hand
somely. A stream as large as your
arm—l mean some fat man’s arm, was
just pouring from a curved pipe and
from its diligence, it meant business.
I was sitting by the car window admir
ing it, and letting imagination do any
amount of picturing about the sources
from whence this supply of water came,
the probable future of it, how in the far
off years to come when this generation
shall have passed into Mummies of the
Egyptian variety and its history been
forgotten like that of Cheops or Oepher
nes, people will speculate about that
well and some will say and will prove
it too, that it was no work of man’s
devising, but a natural fountain like
any other spring. I was thinking too
of the immense depth from which this
water come, away down towards old
Pluto realm, or from the vicinity of the
Heathen Chinee, when a native Hiber
nian stopped opposite my car window,
with the air of one who had something
to tell and was willing to tell it. Our
first question and his answer did the
work for us. “How deep did they
have to bore that well?”, quote we.
“Wan Ilandred and eighty-five feet,”
quote he. Shade on the man that in
vented well boring! An artesian well
only a hundred and eighty-five feet
deep! I’ve no respect for any such
hole in the ground! I called in my
wondering and scattered thoughts. I
curbed my imagination. I haltered
my Pegassns to a lamp post. I turned
up my nose in scorn at that artesian
hnmbug. Mr. editor scratch out all I
have written about that , thing for I
don’t think it ought to be encouraged.
Hold on! Come to think, a moderately
shallow artesian well might be a pop
ular thing in Americus about now,
may be I had better take it all back.
We got to Savannah about 3 p. m.
Found our colleagues of the Commit
mittee waiting for ns, and we joined in
with them, and all waited for the
steamer to sail. At eight o’clock on
Wednesday morning we were all on
board the steamer “Chattahoochee,”
and in a few minutes the boat set sail.
There were on hoard the following
members of the committee: Hon. N.
E. Harris, of Bibb; __W. A. Little, of
Muscogee; Tom Eason, of Telfair; W.
N. Spence, of Mitchell; It. F. Watts,
of Stewart; W. A. Wilson, of Sumter;
and M. A. Hardin, Clerk of the House
of Representatives. The full list of
passengers numbered eighty-six. We
were all astonished at the splendid
ship. She acknowledges no superior
in Naval architecture. There may he
larger hut none finer or better adapted
to the purposes for which she was con
structed. And to show in part her
capacity as well as the immense busi
ness this company (the Central Rail
road steamship company) is doing. I
was informed that she had on board
besides the passengers above mentioned
twelve thousand crates of vegetables,
and fruits on which the freight was
fifty cents a crate, making $6,000, on
this one class of freight, besides which
I myself saw what seemed to me a good
ship load of other freight put on after
we reached the wharf.
We ate breakfast before we reached
the bar, all hands at their places at
the table. Crossed the bar before the
dinner hour and found the ocean in
just such a mood as to make one feel
proud. The billows rose and fell as
regularly as the heating of a giant’s
pulse, the proud ship dashed the foams
from her prow as she should say I’m
mistress of the waves, the brisk wind
fanned the cheek like an inspiration of
joy and the exclamation rose from every
heart: “Old Ocean’s Grand!” Old
Ocean’s Glorious!”
But alas for human joys and human
hopes and human stomachs. Old
Neptune called for tribute. Our two
wire grass boys soon yielded to his
claim. They were standing on the
after deck drinking in the glories of
the scene when all at once Tom Eason
says'. “Spence let’s go down where
those ladies are.” Poor fellows then
went to their state room and flung up.
The nestor of the party visiting them
a few hours later found them both
prone upon their back and “oh, so
sick.” Tom Eason was plucky, fought
it hard. Mark Harden says “he stood
it like a little man.” Says Tom: “I’m
all right except my head, my head’s
been getting bigger ever since them big
waves began to come.” Spence says:
“Captain this ain’t no common sea
sickness. I was not well before I
started. “The trouble,” says lie “is
right here.” Laying his hand caress
ingly in the neighborhood of where his
victuals ought to lodge, “its right
here.”
Nor were these the only victims.
The sofas in the cabins, the settees on
deck and all the cosy places were filled
with the sick ones. That night the
sea became smoother and every body
improved. Still the tables were poorly
patronized. Another day of increasing
calm, and an other night of delicious
rest with the restful water singing a
lullaby all night long, set all to right,
and the last day of the voyage was en
joyed by every one to the very top of
his bent.
That day, the morning rose like a
benediction, the breeze was cool and
balmy. The waters smooth almost
beyond conception. As I went on
deck before breakfast an Irish sailor
with whom we had made friends the
day before, hailed me as he was cast
ing the lead to measure the depth of
water. “Spaking of mill ponds” said
he, “I call that one of them,” and it
was literally as calm as a mill pond.
A fog however soon spread over all the
sea around us and cut off our view
from the Jersey shore until near ten
o’clock. We enjoyed ourselves how
ever watching the sails in sight which
were not a few. When the fog lifted
we were in full view of the shore which
is lined with towns, and villages, and
private residences. Ocean Grove, Long
Branch, and a hundred seeming cities
of which there was no name, country
villas, cottages as thev call them,
but palaces in truth. Keep every eye
on active duty. The Highlands of
Neversink with their tower light, tow
ers soon appeared away to the north.
Then the plot began to thicken. A
hundred sails in sight, from the tiniest
cockle shell of a fishing boat to the
Giant Merchant man with his canvas
all spread, or the Ocean Steamship
plowing the water like a living mon
ster. Nearing the narrows that en
trance to the great bee-hive of Ameri
can commerce, it was interesting to
notice how the ships converge to this
point or diverge from it to towards
every possible point of the compass,
this narrow channel they come and they
go, laden with life and with hope, with
material and with men, with goods
and with gold. Perhaps a greater
amount of wealth and travel does not
pass any other single point on the face
of the earth. Here the number of ves
sels in sight became actually past our
numbering. Our ship’s company all on
deck enjoyed the scene, and did not en
joy it more because we did not have
more capacity to enjoy.
When the city came in sight, first
Trinity steeple, Castle garden, Gover
nors Island, Brooklyn Bridge, a view
up East River as we swept by its
mouth toward’s our pier on the Hudson
side. This we reached at about 3:30
p. m. of Friday making the run from
Savannah to New York in fifty-six
hours. The first stage of our journey
ended as we registered our names at the
Grand Central, and sat down fresh and
cool to wonder why every body in
Georgia who has to go to New York
does not go by the ocean steamship
company’s steamers.
From New York we expect to go to
Boston and Worcester, Massachusetts,
Troy, New York, Hoboken, N. J.,and
hack again to the city of New York,
from whence we will take the steamer
back to Savannah. Yon may hear
from me again if travel and work do
not claim too much of my time to al
low it. W. A. W.
Letter From Webster.
Weston, June 12, 1883.
Mr. Editor: Several of my friends
have requested me to write a letter
about Texas, I promised them I would.
Now if you will allow me space in your
interesting columns, I will endeavor to
fulfill my promise, though I feel my
inability in writing a letter of this kind
to he put before the public.
I can say that Texas surpasses any
Country I ever saw for fertility. I trav
elled over a good portion of the State
and it was good and better There is a
great difference in the soil of Texas
lands, in the eastern portion of the
State it is a gray sandy soil, and gen
erally very well timbered, some fine
running streams supported by large
springs, in the central and western por
tion of the State they have what is
called the black waxie and black sandy
land, the black waxie land is the most
fertile, hut very disagreeable to culti
vate, in dry weather it is the hardest
land I ever saw, when wet it is the
muddiest and stays so the longest I
ever saw. Ford Saunders of this place
made a visit to that country last spring,
he says he don’t think there is any fu
ture punishment tor anyone who lives
and dies on that black land. I expect
it would" he fortunate for him to die
there. I was in Freestone, Navarra,
Elis, Dallas, Colin, Fanin, Lamar and
other counties, and I prefer Freestone
to all that I visited. It is a pleasant
country to live in and to cultivate, it is
a gray sandy soil, well timbered and
well watered, it is principally settled
up with old State people, mostly Geor
gians and Alabamians. They have
good society there, good churches, good
schools and good laws, and the law is
as strictly enforced as in any other
country.
The land in that county is very pro
ductive, makes from thirty to forty
bushels of corn per acre and from 1,000
to 1,500 lbs. of seed cotton per acre
and other produce in proportion, such
as wheat, oats, peas, potatoes, in fact,
anything thatcan he grown in this coun
ty can he grown in Freestone county.
They have what they call Northers in
that country, that is very sudden chan
ges from warm to cold weather, they
are too. very disagreeeble. I have seen
it there so warm in the evening that
one could very pleasantly go without
his coat, and by the next morning he
could scarcely keep from freezing to
death. That and the black land, when
truthfully described, is very discourag
ing to those who contemplate going
West, hut need not he, for they will
soon get uso to that and will he as well
satisfied as those who have been living
there all their lives.
The people of that country are very
sociable, they receive all new comers in
the circle of the best society, until he
proves himself unworthy of that posi
tion of a social life, then he of course is
very much dissatisfied with the coun
try, and gives it a bad name, conse
quently by that, Texas has been very
unjustly represented, 1 say Texas is
a good country, and I advise all per
sons who are financially on the decline,
and all who do not own land to go to
Texas where he can make an easy liv
ing, and by the means of economy and
perseverance, finally accumulate much
wealth, for by that means only we can
ever become wealthy anywhere.
The young man in the older country
of the east, reading about the marvel
ous growth of the new western coun
try, often asks himself whether he coula
not wisely join the ranks of the next
annual migration. No doubt the ques
tion “Shall I go West?” is the upper
most problem in the minds of thous
ands of the young men of the east, and
who have still their careers to make,
and have not yet gained a footing in
the business world. It is a question
which each must answer for himself,
and concerning which no advice can be
given that would be of universal ap
plication. It would be a grievous
mistake to suppose that a change of
longitude alone insures success. Idle
ness, incompetency, and a nerveless
drifting disposition have no better
chance in Texas than in Georgia. In
deed there are some men who run along
fairly well in the east, in the grooves
of custom and of established acquain
tance and. business connections, who
would make lamentable shipwrecks if
set adrift in anew western community.
On the other hand, the chances for a
young man of average pluck and ener
gy are unquestionably better in the
west than in the east. He shares the
advantages of being among the first to
open up a fresh store house of natural
wealth. He gets the first dividend on
the increase of value resulting from
bringing population upon the soil.
The land he buys for three or four dol
lars an acre, or gets for nothing by
homestead settlement, soon becomes
worth from 10 to 15. If he embarks
in trade or in any mechanical pursuit,
his wares or his services are in brisk
demand, because all the new comers
around him require goods and imple
ments. Then there is a certain 'stimu
lus in the moral atmosphere, caused by
the ambition and energies of anew
community full of hope and activity
which makes hardships easy to hear
and causes buoyancy of spirit. Wes
tern people find it hard to make their
friends of the east understand just what
they mean when they speak of the dif
ference in the business and social tone
of two sections. It is a difference rath
er to be felt than defined. There is
vastly more energy and more hope per
capita of the population in new com
munities than old, and the immigrants
feel at once the resulting stimulus. It
braces up the listless and desponding,
and makes even the most active man
conclude that there is more in him in
the way of work and ideas than he sup
posed. Many a young man who
would have remained a clerk or small
salaried employe of some kind all his
life, had lie stayed in the east becomes,
amid the larger opportunities of the
west, a “leading citizen,” and owner of
a fine farm and a prosperous business.
The young man going West can, there
fore, count upon the opportunities of
obtaining good lands at small cost, the
business openings growing out of the
wants of anew community, and the
moral incentives that comes from con
tact with hopeful, enterprising people.
If lie does not succeed in gaining a full
measure of independence in the course
of ten years, the reason will lie in his
own disposition. He will either like
energy and capacity, or he will he sc
much a creature of habit and so thor
oughly the outgrowth of an older civil
ization that he cannot adjust himself to
the new environments. The intending
emigrani would do well to study his
own disposition carefully, and make
sure that he is not that kind.
The citizens of Texas welcome all
good people who seek a home in their
goodly land, hilt particularly those who
come to share in their toils, and to re
spect and deep guard over their pioneer
virtues, and transmit the same to their
children’s children. A. B. B.
Backache, stitches in the side, in
flation and soreness of the bowels, are
symptoms of a disordered state of the
digestive and assimilative organs,
which can be promptly and thorough
ly corrected by the use of Ayer’s
Cathartic Pills. As dinner pills, and
as aids to digestion, they have no
equal. They cure constipation.

Vegetable Sicilian
HAIR RENEWER
was the first preparation perfectly adapted to
cure diseases of the scalp, and the first suc
cessful restorer of faded or gray hair to its
natural color, growth, aud youthful beauty.
It has had many imitators, but none have so
fully met all the requirements needful for
the proper treatment of the hair and scalp.
Hall’s Hair Renewer lias steadily grown
in favor, and spread its fame and usefulness
to every quarter of the globe. Its unparal
leled success can be attributed to but one
cause; the entire fulfilment of its promises.
The proprietors have often been surprised
at the receipt of orders from remote coun
tries, where they had never made an effort for
its introduction.
The use for a short time of Hall’s llair
Renewer wonderfully improves the per
sonal appearance. It cleanses the scalp from
all impurities, cures all humors, fever, and
dryness, and thus prevents baldness. It
stimulates the weakened glands, and enables
them to push forward anew and vigorous
growth. The effects of this article are not
transient, like those of alcoholic prepara
tions, but remain a long time, which makes
its use a matter of economy.
