EXPERIENCE TALES AOAIN,
And tel la What It Knows concern
ing the “Golden Leaf"—Hap
py Hint to the Seekers of
Western Fortunes.
We ate inclined lo the opinion
that the exodus from this country
to the dialant, enchanting West,
has passed the rush, and the exo
dusing back fur home is the coun
tersign of all the prodigals who
have gotten weary in the vain
aearcli for an Eldorado. These,
with others, form the great ma
jority who have spent their sub
stance, are longing for the flesh
pots of their fathers. “And he
would fain have filled his bell.v
with the husks that the swine did
*-al; and no man gave unto him.”
“And when he came to himself,
he said,” at what a cost of money,
labor aud time have I learned
that nowhere is there afforded to
the farmer an easier and better
and more abundant living than
in N lrlh Georgia If There my
father has lived for half a centu
ry, aud never worked more than
three months in the year, and two
days in each week of that time
was spent In going to mill. 1 will
arise and go to my fat her and tell
him Hie lime is come when we
must leave the pumpkin out ol
one end of the sack, and pul in
more corn and go lo null less
often. I will tell him, too, that
we must work twelve months ij
the year like they do out west.
We must raise our meat and
bread first, then expend our extra
labor on the most money-making
product our soil is capable of
bearing in the greatest abundance
and perfection. This boy is about
ready for proper action. lie has
seen the world through the even
ing glasses of the nineteenth cent
ury. He knows that ruocess
means labor done, and behind this
lies the well laid plans for a life
work, a will (o labor, and wait, a
courage to strike till the iron gets
hot.
Men actuated by this high pur
pose are what we want to engage
in tobacco oulture in this coun
try. Thoje who undertake only
for a year, thinking to keep on
provided they make a fortune,
bad bettor leave it oIT, and go on
the even tenor of their way, as
they are wont to do. One year,
or two, or even three years, is not
a fair test. The tobacco plant, in
order to properly treat it, must
be thoroughly studied. Actual
experience is the only teacher.
The first year you find that a great
improvement can be made in ar
ranging the bed, sowing the s, ed,
and protecting the plants. You,
also, learn that you have killed
half your plants in drawing them
from the bed, and the cutworm
must be des'rjyerJ. Then know
ing how and when to toD and
prime, when to look for worms,
and when to cut for the barn, is
of no less importance than curing
and handing it up properly class
ed tor the market. With all this,
.there is nothing to discourage the
industrious farmer. On the con
trary it is a guarantee that care
and industry will be rewarded.
One acre properly cared for, will
bring from one to five hundred
dollars as readily ns twenty five,
when used like fodder.
In my recent rainbhngs I step
ped into fhe office of Hon. J. T.
Henderson, Commissioner 01 Ag
riculture of Georgia, in Atlanta,
and found that this Department
had manifested a proper interest
in the tobacco culture in this
stale by procuring a large quan
tity of seed for free distribution.
While the Yellow Oronoko is the
only variety distributed by this
Department, it is a great conven
iance and saving, as tins type ot
tobacco is well adapted to the
majority of our soil. Mr. Hen
derson also furnishes a “Manual
on Tobacco Culture” with the
seed. Every plainer should thor
oughly “dijest” this. 1 would
differ from him as to the kind of
flues. Instead of the Smith Pat
ent I would suggest what is gen
erally known as the Ragland Flue,
principally because it is much
cheaper, and every way as good.
In conclusion let me thank the
editors and readers of the Cockier
for kind indulgence. If 1 have
induced any one to travel this
road to fortune,! am ready now,
and always, to aid in hastening
success. My faifii is that tobacco
ie the Lvdian stone of the farmer’s
success in this country.
“There's tbs marble, there's the chisel,

BROTHER DUNN,
With a Lamb of His Flock, Ski pa
by the Light o’ the Moon.—
What hi* Horn* Paper has
to Saj of His Actions.
Brn. Dunn, for ihe past twelve
years, lias been a shilling light in
the Dalton or E I'jay district if
I lie Methodist Episcopal Church,
lost year he was the pastor of I lie
DJlou church, with its tributary
mission*. Previous to that he
erved four years in Walker, and
two in Murray county, lie was
on the Tunnel llili circuit this
year. T.ie encroachments of this
church, however, upon the terri
tory of the church south, has not
been such as to warrant the un
divided labors of its preachers,
and several who had families were
forced to seek other avenues ol
livelihood.
Our esteemed postmaster, T. 11.
Triplett, was forced to this, and
last year was induced lo lake a
partnership with J. LI. Dunn, in
i he general merchandise business
in this city, Bro. Dunn however
was short of the requisite cash,
and Mr. Triplett, in addition to
his own, endorsed for Dui.n for a
balance which he required. The
business started auspiciously, and
the acquaintance and popularity
of the fii m in the mountain coun
ties which trade at Dalton, added
lo Mr. Triplett’s home influence,
forced a prosperous business.
Mr. Triplett’s duties as post
master prevented hit looking af
ter the store, and,indeed, he had
little disposition lo meddle, things
were looking so lovely, and his
confidence, ripened by a brother
ly association of twelve years,
was unbounded.
During the holidays Mr. Trip
led gave the store a few days at
tention and by invoice found some
twelve hundred dollars in stock,
Bro. Dunn reported about SB,OOO
worth of sales, aud stated that
every thing was paid for. As the
original capital had only been
SBSO, Mr. Triplett looked upon the
investment with great pleasure.
In an advisory wav, however, he
suggested to his partner, the ad
visability of having each separate
bill receipted, Mr. Dunn having
stated that he was discounting
them, and had the receipts all
filed away.
Last Friday morning a fly a 4
street rumor soon reached Mr
Triplett that Bro. Dunn had fled
He did not believe it, and even
later in the day when receiving
an uudaled note from him stating
that he had made no money and
was in dedt, and had a situation
offered him in Louisville where
he could make money enough to
pay out, and would also settle his
indebtedness to the firm, was in
clined to credit the statement.
Mr. Triplett was only worried
that the responsibility of the bus
iness was thrown upon him,and
employed Waller McGhee to take
chaige of the store. Young Mc-
Ghee, however, forewarned by
street rumors, relused to take
charge till an invoice was made.
The invoicing developed a start
ling sensation. New bills had
been added, the slock of movable
valuable goods had been surpris
ingly decreased, and many of the
old bills were found to be unpaid.
There was found to be a stock
nearly equaling it. This would
leave Mr. Triplett short his origi
nal investment and endorsement
for Dunn of some *3OO. The books
also show that the store account
of Mr. Triptelt was double that ot
Dunn for home supplies, while
Dunn had much the larger family.
This not only had an ugly look,
but was the worse on account ot
a mutual agreement that neither
was to draw a living from the
business, but were to pay their
accounts monthly from othei
sources ol revenue, Dunn being
the recipient of *3OO a year from
confereuce for clerical duties. Mr.
Triplett paid his monthly account
regular, while there is no ev,-
dence that Dunn paid his at all.
While these tacts were develop
tng, a thread of ugly acting whs
weaving itself around Dunn from
another source.
Sunday night week, he intro
duced one Mary Purcell, as the
daughter of a friend, at the Rudd
House, from Dawson county, ami
secured a few day’s lodging ftn
her. But lor his indenture of 0 i -
liners he also added a mysterious
incident to this transaction. H..
too, took a room there that night,
lilts was a little irregular fora
shepherd whose domestic flock
was but a few hundred vaids dis
tant. He was only three streets
distant from his wrvle and chil
dren. A seeming apology to M>.
Kudu for this was that he, ,
was considerably under the influ
ence of strong Ur ink.
At the woman's ••quest, she
was placed on the 4A) K. T. pas
senger train. Wrd.msday evening
by Win. Kudd, ticketed for C ,ai
lanooga. She told Conductor
Uigsn that she eipecled to meet
a triei and from Dalton on Ilia W. A
A II It, and would only go to the
silling room in the depot. After
iho W it A. train arrived Mr. R
gar. went to the wailing room and
was introduced lo Dui.n as the
friend. Tnev left soon after in a
close carriage, and that is the last
heard from them.
Bro. Dunn left town the same
day, as he reported on a collecting
tour, ad boarded the evening
train at Tunnell Hill, on the trail
of the fair but trail Purcell.
Since his departure many sto
lies are told of t lie hidden life ol
dissipation which he has been
leading. The final act of disgrace
and perfidy, however, leases no
cause lor tracing him backward.
The distress of Dunn’s family
lias been intensified by a story
which be bad tol 1 Mr. Uudd to
ihe effect of bis wife’s inconstan
cy, his domestic unhappiness in
consequence, and his purpose to
secure a divorce and marry the
woman who s sharing Ins dis
grace. Those who aie best ac
quainted with Hie family de
nounce this Blory as a falsehood
from beginning to end.
The actual condition of the bus
iness affairs, as developed later,
shows assests that may realize
S9OO, with an outstanding indebt
edness of about $1,500. Mr. Trip
lett will close the slock as rapidly
as possible, aud pay off this in
debtedness, though it falls hard
upon him, and will require much
sacrifice upon his pari.
The sympathy of (lie town is
with Mr. Triplett in his trouble.

A WESTERN LETTER.
Olenk, Oregon,
Dec. 30, 1886.
Dear Courier: Feeling an in
terest in my native home and its
prosperity, and being delighted
with the Courier for Us sound
politics, high-toned moral aud re
ligious sentiments, and bold lem
perence attitude, I would gladly
give my hand to its editors in
(heir efforts and achievements iu
the upbuilding aud developing ol
dial country. But the nearest J
can come to tbe consummation ol
iliat desire, is lo send my compli
ments and a few uotes from this
part of I lie far west.
This very peculi.tr country Is
situated about four thousand feel
above sea level and north of the
44th parallel of north latitude,and
is interspersed with high moun
tain peaks, some of which are
clothed with everlasting snow.
One would imagine the climate
very severe; but this, like all oth
er parts of this coast country, has
its clima*e modified greatly by
the western winds, so that the
cold rarely ever sends mercury
below zero; and the snow fall is
never very heavy. I have not in
three winters seen it over six
inches in the vtlleys, and yet the
air is always pleasant and the
nights cool; but the most delight
lul part of the country is its natu
ral scenery, its mouutain tops
covered with perpetual snow, its
hills clothed in verdure of ever
lasting green, its beautiful lakes
‘•stirred by the gentle breezes,
cast up their silvery wavelets,’’
surrounded by large valleys, dot
ted with fields of waving graiu
and grass, makes it a scene that
cannot fail to intoxicate even
those who are ne.ihei poets, uor
printers.
Notwithstanding the beauly
aud natural advantages ot this
country, its permanent settlement
dates back but a lew years. The
principal weaLh of the country
consists in its immense herds ot
cattle and horses that roam at
will over the extensive ranges of
fuocii grass, which tfffords the
most nutritious feed known to
stockmen. The power o! stock
men has been the greatest oh
stacle in the way ot the perma
nent settlement ot the counti \.
They have always pleaded cli
matic hindefance to agriculture,
and were successful in deterring
settlers from coming m until tlu
last few years. This has been one
of the finest horse raising coun
tries on the continent; as horses
raised here are more Hardy am
long -r lived than in the east, liv
ing uoni 25 to 35 years, lior*. *

mother would wish their children to read.
It lias always been our aim to make the
Ledger such a paper. This has been its
great, characteristic, predomiautiug feat
ure. it is our highest ambition to make a
good paper—not merely for the young,
“Ut also lor all people, the old and the
middle-aged as well as the young.
As e have said before, we leave noth
ing in our power undone for the gratifica
tion and instruction of our subscribers.
The Ledger is always a live paper, keep
ing pace with the genius and spirit of
American progress.
Iu addition to the stories, misceliene-
ous articles by eminent scholars and di
vines will be continued ; so will our ac
curate scientific department.
We shall reply, as heretofore, to the
innumerable questions sent to us on love
and domestic affairs, and every variety of
subject.
Tne Ledger for the year 1886 will con
tinue to be The Great Family Paper, full
of good and interesting reading.
It offo.s at once one of the cheapest,
greatest, and most lasting of pleasures.
It contains the purest sweetest, and
most deligutful stories, striking narratives
aud instructive biographical and historic
al sketches.
No amount of money stands in the way
of our employment of the very best and
most popular writers.

something iu it—something to amuse, to
entertain, to instruct—the-best and truest
love stories, sound, wholesome doctrines
about right and wrong, and an infinite
variety of interesting, agreeable and di
