Old Fashioned Quilting.
: The Ladies Missionary Society of
] this place met at the residence of
Judge W. I. Hudson this week, and
had an old-fashioned quilling. The
i quilt was made, and donated to the
soc ; et y j, v Miss Lockwood and will
] be sold, and the proceeds added to
the missionary fund.
The novelty of the work made ail
enter into it with spirit, and it was
soon finished. In the mean time
feminine tongues were silent ol course,
as is usual on such occasions. '1 here
was no more noise or chattering in
the room than is made by a swarm of
magpies, and a thunder-clap could
have been distinctly heard almost at
any time during the progress of the
work. They simply sustained their
ieputation, and as there was an utter
absence of malice, or ill-mature, and
a kindly spirit pervaded every heart,
the time was pleasantly and profita¬
bly spent.
It has not been decided when or
how the quilt will be sold, but there
,s a probability that the ladies will
have an auction at some private resi¬
dence and sell it to the highest bid¬
der. It some lady can be induced
to act as auctioneer, for the good of
tiie cause she loves, the gentleman
should club together and a give a lib¬
eral sum for the quilt, that will com¬
pensate her for the pain and embar¬
rassment of her novel position.
A Natural Curiosity.
There is on the mountain near
Blue Spring, in this county, a great
curiosity in a tree that has two trunks
I and one head. The trunks are eight
| feet apart at the ground, are fourteen
I or eighteen inches each in diameter,
J and run up parallel for perhaps together, twen
! ty feet. They then come
| lap over each other and then come
1 form head.
i | together again and one
j Their trunks look like the„ figure 8,
an( j their head shows a perfect nat
ural graft.
Extraordinary Health.
There is a gentleman living near
Hamilton whose wife has presented
him with fourteen children—e ; ght
sons and six daughters, He was
■ thrown from a horse last summer and
a physician who happened to be pass
; lng at the time was ca n e d in. This
jg lhe only medlca i bill he has made
fince F.is marriage, Such healthful
ness is rare even in old Harris.

Sunday morning, Mr. R. G. Hood

Colossus. -
A Modem
The Colossus ot Rhodes must take
a ’ back seat. Bartholdi’s Statue of
; Liberty Enlightening the World” is
a revelation. New York is to be en

we may be envied. We have just
been pres ented with a superb picture

representation ol the majestic image.
Lony Canes.
We were shown a lot of canes the
other day from the plantation of Mr.

longest we have ever seen. The long
est measured twenty-eight feet in
length and the others were only a few
inches shorter.

A Valuable Mtvcuisie.
Last week, in com; any with a large
number of our leading farmers, we
ha 1 the pleasure ot witnessing the
operat on of one of the most perfect
pulverizing machines in existence. We
refer to the Corbin Disc. Harrow, ex
hi bite J here by Mr. Peter \V. Martin
of Newnan. The Harrow is com
posed of twelve discs, each 16 inches
in diameter, made of flexible steel.
1 here are set upon two shafts, each
three feet long, that are by a very
simple anangement made to run at
angles to each other, ’ at the will of
the , operator. , I tie machine was
most thoroughly , ,, tested , cotton
on
land , , oat stubble , , , and . Bermuda „ , sod,
and , undei , every test did its • work ,
pertectly. . , Not clod left . land , ,
a is on
winch , . , . It T
over it passes. cuts six teet
and we cannot imagine a more per
feet macme for covering gram. “I
could have saved its cost re-sowing
my grain crop,” was the opinionjof an
enthusiastic observer, one of our best
and most extensive farmers.
John Gamble says he docs not
want anything better for plowingcorn
and the first . and second .
cotton lime.
Johnny Mobley nays k would be fun
lO work on a 1 arm with such a ma
chine—as easy as selling calico.
The machine is very substantially
made of the bert material, is not lia¬
ble to get out of order, is as easy to
manage as a scooter plow and runs
almost as light as a buggy. It has a
seat for the operator who can ride or
walk, as he prefers. Generally most
ail the time he will ride.
The machine was exhibited at two
o’clock in the afternoon and by five
Mr. Martin had mailed an order for
three to be shipped at once, When
as cautious a man as John W. Gam¬
ble, as experienced a man as James
Lovelace, or as conservative a man
as Reuben Mobley pay $40 each for
a machine of th's charact ir, we can
ask no higher ev : de,?ce of its woAh.
Death of an ET lmablo, Lady.
The Maddoxville correspondent of
ihe LaGrange Reporter sends that
paper the following notice of the de¬
mise of Miss Tempie Hadley:
On Thursday last, at 12 o’clock,
Miss Tempie Hadly, who had been
stricken with paralysis more than ten
weeks, breathed her last, as if quietly
going to sleep. 'File body was in¬
terred the following day at the family
burying ground. Rev. \V. E. Shack¬
elford conducted the services and
spoke appropriately many words con¬
cerning the deceased, who had lived
so long a Christian life. She lived
eighty years, sixty of which she had
been a pious member of ihe Baptist
church. The large concourse of rel¬
atives and friends who assembled
around the grave showed the great
esteem in winch she was held. A re¬
markable feature ot the life of the de¬
parted lady was that of almost uiiin
terrupted healthfulness. Since
was grown she had not been upon the
bed of affliction, until her last sick¬
ness.
