Womack went around among ihc boy s

The boys then drew straws to see who

Some Interesting Weather Statistics,
Mr. Joel Ellington, one of the oldest cit¬
izens of our county, gives us the following
statistics of the weather from 1828 to
1849, which will be found quite interesting
at this time. He says :
The winter of 1828 was very warm, and
at Christmas there were plenty of cotton
blooms and greon grass. The cattle found
gond grazing until long after Christmas,
j n 1829, a lilaek spot appeared on the
which remained for sometime. It
could be plainly seen with the naked eyes,
by looking in a tub of clear water.
In 1833, th* great phenomenon of the
failing stars occurred, and many people
were badly frightened thereby.
In February, 1835, tfie great cold Satur¬
day occurred, which killed large trees in
the forest, and many persons froze to deah
All the China trees in Newton county
wers killed, except one, near Oxford.
The year 1819 was a fine crop year, but
it did not rain from July until Christmas.
The year 1845 was the great dry year all
over the state, and the crops were almost
a total failure. Big Gum creek, in New¬
ton county, dried up and stop]>ed running
as far dowi as the BenneMEdwards place,
where it is now a large stream.
In 1849, on the night of the 15th of
April, a heavy frost fell throughout Mid¬
dle Georgia, which killed all the wheat
and other vegetation. Even laige trees in
the forest were killed by the extreme
cold.

which resulted in his untimely death. Mr. Quillian
was a prominent and able minister of the Meth¬
odist church, and his death has caused a deep
sorrow among his hosts of friends all over Geor

burial.
Thousands Say So.
Mr. T. W. Atkins, Girard, Kan., writes: “I

“Little Red Hair.”
[The following sketch was written in
memory of the little daughter of Capt. t-ieo.
W. Deed, of Harlem, On., who died a few
weeks ago, when the snow mantled the
earth, typical in its immaculate purity, of
the faultless character of the sweet little
girl which they familiarly called “Red
Hair.” Capt. Reed is the proprietor of
the supper house, at Harlem. The little
girl was a great favorite w itli the railroad
men who stopped there for supper, and
the following was written by one of the
passenger conductors, who saw her almost
every Jay, and had formed a strong at¬
tachment for her on account of her bright
and cheery disposition. Its lender pathos
but expresses his deep sorrow at tire loss
of his little favorite.— Ed. Star.]
‘‘Come down here and cross, or you will
get washed away. I’ve tiled a bridge for
you, for I toll you, we have had a real
flood,” he said, as he threw a plank over
■the walk for the passengers to cross tin
running water, caused by the heuvv r.i.t
which had just fallen before) lie train
stopped in front of the sapper house.
He was, and had been tor several years,
the proprietor of the railway eating house,
and was famous for the splendid suppers
he always spread for the passengers. The
many travelers who have enjoyed his
princely hospitality once, will never fail
to do so again when travelingover the pop
ular “Stone Mountain Route,” as they are
always sure to receive a generous welcome
from the honest and joyial captain.
He always njet us at the front gate with
a pleasant smile and a cordial hand grasp,
and we would kiss the little auburn-hair¬
ed girl, pinch her rosy cheeks, and ask
her to let us see her pretty blue eyea —
She was his pet and ours. If the weather
was fine, knowing what a signal from “ 37 ”
meant, she always ran out with him to
meet us.
The weather had been bad for some
time, and we had not seen the ‘ little red
haired girl,” (as the boys called her,) for
several trips. One night, as usual, the
conductor asked for “Little Red Hair,”
and was told site was sick.
“No, we don’t think she is dangerous,”
her father said, w ith a smile ; “I think
you may look for her out very soon ”
The t ex trip down we missed the tall
a in cheerful fa>-e ofnur frie d theeapt litt,
at the front g-Ue. The gate had not been
opened, and without knowing why, a
feeling of uneasiness came over us. We
handled the hitch nervously, and enter¬
ed with ;t sad aod solemn tread. We had
always'had the gate opened for us, and

Very Remarkable Recovery.
Mr. Geo. V. Willing, of Manchester, Mich.,
writes: “My wife has been almost helpless for
five years so helples she could not turn over
in bed alone. She used two Bottles of Elec¬
tric Bitters, and is so much improved, that she
is able now to do her own work.
Electric Bitters will do all that is claimed for
them. Hundreds of testimonials attest their
great curative powers. Only fifty cents a bot
tie at Brooks & Ivy’s.
