A Sad Death.
Mr. Jas. M. Jameson, a yonng man J
sterling worth, highly esteemed for many
noble traits of character by a large circle
of friends, died last Monday morning at hia
home near Ellerslie.
Good Farming.
Captain V*L C. Johnston has upon one of
his plantations a tenant who made last year
n£on a one horse farm, 17 bales of ootton
and 250 bnshels of corn, besides oats, peas,
potatoes, fodder and otner produce. And yet
there are those who say that farming does
not pay and that Georgia is not the best
farming “country*in the world.

Among Oar Exchanges.
The Atlanta Constitution hss recently
been giving its country exchanges some ex
cellent adviee. If there is a man in the
south who Snows what constitutes a good
newspaper it is the editor of the Constitu
tion.
The M“oon Telegraph nnder its new
management has become one of the most
readable of the Georgia dailies. It is rig
ged out in anew dress that makes it the
equal in typographic appearance of the
handsomest, while its editorial paragraphs
are fre6h and -parkling, entirely in keeping
with its dress Its weightier articles are
such as might be expected from a journal
of its age—dignified, solid and classical.
Charley Chapman has become associate
ebtor of the LsGrarge Reporter. TbeJtte
porter is one of the model paper* of the
State and .no one deserves more credit for
its high standing than Charley.
The Atlanta Phonograph just talks right
out every day, telling-everything about ev
erybody, jnst-ae if it were the veritable ma
chine it pretends to be. It is gossipy, new
sy and lively—certainly deserving much
success.
The Baptist Son is the.name of anew re
ligious newspaper started at Rome, Ga. It
is a move in the direction. While it
is ably edited snd contains as much reading
matter as the o< her religious papers, it is
offered to subscribers at the low rate of oue
dollar a year. W@ hope its support will be
piVth *s to induce the other deootninotional
journals to reduce their prices. Good lit
erature ought to be the cheapest. It is
generally the highest priced.

Agricultural College.
In Georgia we have several Agricultural
Colleges—so called—that are so prosperous
and successful in every way, that they en
courage greatly the hope that many other
like schools will be stabliihed throughout
tbe State. These institutions are sustain
ed by an incidental fee of $5 00 from each
pupil and $2,000 per annum from the pro
ceeds of the Agricultural land scrip.
That much more good might be accom
plished by the establishment of a hundred
and fifty of these schools throughout tbe
State, than is done by drivelling out the
State School fund to little three month’s
schools, no one ean question. And yet
there is but little neoessity for making this
change. The state reoeives annaually from
a special tax on farmers, fifty thousand dol
lars. True this tax is levied for their pro
tection, bnt it is none tbe less taken from
their hard earnings, and there is certainly
no more appropriate way of returning it
than in educating their obildreu. The
moneys received from the inspection of
commercial fertilisers, wonld put twenty
five institutions like those at Dah’ouoga,
Milledgeville, Thomasville and Outbbert,
in operation and sfiora excellent educational
to ten thousand youths, now growiug up in
comparative ignorance for want of snoh ad
vantages.
Hamilton is anxious to present to tbe
State a building and grounds, costing $9.
000, upon tbe sole condition that it shell
receive an annually an an ppropriation of
$2,000 to be used for educational purposses
audio tit- are many other communities in tbe
State which will do as well. Let them be
tried.
j ßill Arp on the Press.
Your paper is a great oomiori to me; in
every number I find something to put sway
in miud and memory—something that I did
not know before, and which will be of ad
vantage to me in time to come. If a .man
can read, he cun get a good education by
taking one good paper; he can keep up
win me wutla and make himself an enter
canng member of society; he Call talk up
a litilo on most any sobji ot. Book learning
is a very good thing, but he never reads
the pupers and'passes fora tool in his
neighborhood. Some paper* are not much
account to appearance, but 1 never took one
that didn’t pay me in some way a good deal
more than I paid for it. Oue time an old
friend gtarltd a paper away down in South
wee. Georgia and sent it to me and I sub
scribed just to encourage him, and after
awhile it published a notice that an admin
istrator had an order to sell several lots in my
county. So I inquired about tne lot, and
wrote down to my friend to attend tbe sales
and run it up to fifty dollars. He did so
and bid off the lot for ms at thirty dollars,
and I sold it in a month to a man it joined
for a hundred dollars, and so I made sixiy
eight.dollars, clear by taking that paper.
My father told me that when he was a young
man he saw a notice in a paper that a
school-teacher was wanted way off in a
distant oouoty, and he went down there
and got the situation, and a little girl was
sent to him, aud after awhile she grew
mighty sweet and pretty, and he fell in love
with her and married her. Now, if he had
n't taken that piper, what do you reckun
would become of me? Wouldn’t Ibe some
other fellow, or may be not at aIL
The New Bible. - Quick Work.
The new version ot the New Testament,
which has been so many years in course of
translation and which is unquestionably the
most important literary enterprise this cen
tury baa see a, is being waited for with ca
riosity and anxiety by hnndreds of thous

first edition ot 50b.0b0 copies has already
been manntactured in Eng.aod, and 100.000
copies ate said to be in New York City, not
one of tnem permitted to be sold. They
are awaiting a telegram from the authorities
in England authorizing their issue. Tbe
first copies can only be bad at tbe extrava
gant price of $lO per copy. The Literary
R volution proposes tuny to meet tbe de
mands whicn its army of friends are making
upon it by doing ptobably tbe quickest
work iu book-m-king which has ever yet
been accomplished. Arrangements have
been fuDy made to put the entire book in

A Large Piano Manufactory.
While it was well known that tbe Meu
delseohn Piano was really a reliable and ex
cellent instrument, it iras hardly enepee'ed
by the other manufacturers that the de
mand for it had inorewed to each an extent
as to wsrrmt the makars hi ereotitig the
largest piano manufactory in the world as a
centennial momoria! of the sneoe-s of the
instrument ; but sooh win the case, and to
day the Mendelssohn Piano Manufactory,

squire feet of ground, from its 'location on
the comer of Tenth Avenue and 57th Sheet,

part of Ma- hattan Island—Chicago Times.
The lsrge factory of the Mendelieon Pi*
sno Company cornerof Fifty-seventh street
and Tenth Avenue, is wdl worth a visit.
One can here witness the varions and inter
esting steps in tbe profess of transforming
tbe rough lumber and Aiotsl into highly fin
jshed instruments. Ijt tbe Rile of these pi
anos, the Company hsve undertaken to
treat tbe people wi*h; factory proes, em
ploying no agßta. Instruments are sent

they are.'end what musical people think
about *bem, can heoh'xitted by sending for
an illnstrstive and descriptive catntogne.
With no r.rp> nsive agei. fssnd commissions,
the Company decline to give any discounts,
thinking the lowness of the?* prices and 'he
merit of their goods will receive a liberal
reooenition from Pipnn hovers.— Morris

Practical jokes that do nofresn't in barm
are sometime! vety enjoyable, but when
they are perpeliatrated upon a person,
greatly to hie bodfly ininry the perpetrator
becomes a crimind. When a certain citi
zen of Hamilton viiited the thriving oity of
Hood, we thought, the boys excusable who
boxed him up and tiiedVo ehip him home.
The bottle of spirits deposited in the box
with him, was n histyes, ample cotnpen
satisn for any >hort lived bodily inconve
nience. But. when he visited the town for
the seoondttimi, the inhuman treatment
he received wai unwarranted and unjustifi
able noon any ground*. We do not know
the parties wh> were engaged in this af
fair, nor havawe heard any names, bnt as
little respect awe have for injured party,
we cannot refrain from censuring their oon
dnot in severeb-rms.
There is badly a man}iufthe3c° nr,f y who
does not rtaini that ihe law is deficient in
not providing a remedy against drinking
vagabonds a ri tramps, but such
and inhnmanproeeedinga as those applied
to this snhjet! are unwarranted. We know
that the cit'zns of H >od do not justify
such ondnotand that they, with us, regret
