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. Marriages. By Rev. E. J.

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. —Women tuat b*ve been pronounced incurable bv t e best physicians in tbe courury, have beu oornple e y cured of fe ui*le by tbs usejof Lydia L.

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 ands. It is not generally known that a 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.

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, e'ght stories jn height,, cuvereign 78,000 squire feet of ground, from its 'location on the comer of Tenth Avenue and 57th Sheet, overlook*: the Hudson River snd the greater 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.
