Keeping Up With Bill Arp. lie Ft ills in Among the Commercial Tourists ami 'Takes a Liking to Them—The Ad vantage of Scrambling Eggs—ln Ilaickinsoille and Around About. Drummers! Somehow I don’t like that name for they are mighty nice gentlemen and the name don't fit them. I've had to travel with them and mix with them most every day for two week? and thes' are a regular in stitution. They are smart -nd well manner ed and generally good looking, and the job iicst set I ever met. They have rubb-M against each other and borrowed one another s wit and picked up good things by the wav side until they sue splendid company. They are always civil and polite, for their business requires it. I asked one of them for a bet ter name than drummer and lie gave me com mercial traveler, tourists, evarigebzers, and another said they were peripatetic gentle men. They distribute a power of ■ loney on the railroads and at the hotels and deserve more consideration than they get. They ought to travel at half prices for 1 have U over several roads where they constituted more than half the passengers and they are traveling most all the time. But railroads are getting mighty particular somehow. I thought maybe I could slip along on a free pass, ami so I hunted up tiie head man the other day and told him as how I was a sort of a newspaper man and was going about making a few broken remarks for the benefit of the libraries and my numerous offsprings and considered myself a public malefactor, but the fellow he never batted his eve nor stopped reading bis newspaper. He just pointed me to a printed card on the wall and I perused it at ray leisure. It was in type as red as a bloody shirt and the language were as follows; In those days there were no passes given. Search the scriptures. i’uou Guilt not pass.—Numbers 20, 18. Suffer not a man to pass.—Judges 3, 29. The wicked shall no more po,ss.—NT ; : idiail 1, It). None shall ever pass.—lsaiah 30, 10. This generation shall not pass.—Mark 13, 30. Though they roar they shall not pass.— Je re up ah 31, 12. So they paid the fare and went.—Jonah 1,3. Well, I gave him t,o understand that I wasent going to “roar” about the matter, and so 1 paid ray fare and went, but I got to wondering about all that Scripture, and how a railroad man ever found it out. and so I borrowed a book from Mr. Burke and in looking over it I found there was right smart law on the other side, for the scriptures say : Then he shall go free without money.— Exodus 21, 11. Let the oppressed go free.—lsaiah 56, 6. I will make the to pass.—Jeremiah 15, 14. He shall pass.—Habhakuk 1,11. The passengers that pass.—Ezekiel 39, 15. It is a glory to pass.—Proverbs 19. 11. Restrain net for me to ride. —2d Kings 4. 24. I’m go : ng to poke that atom next time and see how they like it. I like railroads. It would be a good thing if the State would make cm free to everybody and let ern gei even by putting up the freight. If, wouh make our people so sociable. There is a power of comfort in riding on era and a wo man who is afar off feels as much at home in car as she does at the Markham or Brown’s National at Macon. Traveling people feel a kind of sympathy dor one another as they light each other’s cigars and make acquaint .nee without an intro taction. I always did ike for a man to ask me for a light or match or to read my newspaper. When the} stop at a one-horse town they can abuse the hotel, just like they was brothers. Every town ought to have a good, nice, cleau hotel. If it. can tbe had an}’ other way, the town commissioners ought, to provide one at the public expense just for the good name and reputation of lire community. I’ve been where everything smelt sloppy and the plates didn’t shine and lira knife-handles were grea sy and the back yard was all mud and the nigs were kicked down tiie kitchen steps. The peripatetics lost their usual hilarity and gobbled down their vittels in a hurry just to fill up and get away. One of em said he managed to squeeze along at such places if he could get boiled eggs and sweet potatoes, for they couldn’t cont aminate them very ranch, but the other day when he ordered eggs the darky came back directly and says, “ Boss, dident you say j’ou wanted dem eggs skara blted.” “No.” said he, “Iwantthem boiled.” After a little he came Lack again and said. “ Boss, ha lent you just as live have them eggs shambled“No, I told you,” said he, “ I wanted them boiled.” “ Boss,” said he in a whisper, “ I is afeered dem eggs ain’t fresh enuf to bile, but dey will skamble n ighty nice.” Ilawkinsville keeps growing on. The town is building up and is crowded with wagons and old fashioned country trade— the best trade in the world. I was astou ished at the extent of their business. Yo mg Robert Lewis told me that he would so 1 this year about $130,000. besides doing a large banking business, lie is one of broth- FOR THE PEOPLE. c?s hardly out of their teens, and they are running four stores in different places, sell : *ng not leas than 0300,000, and everything moved on like clockwork. These boys are splendid business men of good habits, and their devotion to their widowed mother is | something more than filial. If I was a pret itv Hawkinsville girl I would still hunt f.r ono of ’em. shore, for a good son will make a | good husband, and if they live ten } T cars they ; "’ill have just oodles of money. Charles Kibbee looks as bright as a silver moon. I found him at work in his (lower garden with his lovely wife for an overseer, and he was digging up rose geraniums that were six feet across and throwing them over the fence. Took up too much room, he said, and there were plenty more left. The scene made me homesick, and I long to go home and dig and work among the flowers, with Mrs. Arp and the children standing around, and hear her sweet voice as she says : “ I was afraid you would cut the roots of that jessamine, and . shore enough you have.’’ What wonderful memories cluster around old Midway and Milledgeville. How dim is human foresight, how vain are human plans. Georgia’s capital was first at Augusta, then Louisville, then Milledgeville and now At hanta. \\ hat grand old gentlemen used to -12 at her in that f ime-honored but now desert ed building. The great men have fallen in in Israel and the places that, knew them have goin> to decay. lam now here in old Kn tonton, a town of splendid history—a coun ty o' noble patriarchs. Here lived Mark A. (V-oper i .l his youth, and Judge Harris, miJ the Braum os, re and Alexander, and Reeds and Lanes, and Clopt > and Fri-tpc;, and Iver sons, and Shorters, and L. Q. C., and Mira oe.au Lamar. Here is where Eli Shorter, and John Mason, and Hump -Ouitii, and henry I Branham, four wild young bloods, ail ? a re j ligion together under the none ful preaching jof Bishop Capers, and dident give back to j mie another the money they ha 1 won at ker, because Branham, who was a few thou sand>he>cj, said the bishop told ’em they must let tiie dead bury its dead. Here is the old court house where presided in s* affolv bguity Judges Early and Long-tree an ] Roney and Meriwether and S. W. Harris and Cone and Cobb and Hill and Herschel V". Johnson. And last but not least, here is where Joe Harris first saw the light and played in the reel gullies and set type for the noble Turner, who published the Country man. I have just been looking over the old bound volu'ons and find Joe's earliest efforts ras a printer’s devil an 1 his later effusions as a lover and a poet. He first assaulted liter ature ae acouuudruraaier, by asking “whose -on vy..e the strongest man ?” answer, “ Sam’s.” V-. hat is the difference between a hatchet and a feline? One is atommvhawk and the other a tocDcy-cnt. Bat it was love, tender, gush ing. romantic love, that developed his latent powers. His lines on moonlight and the bailie bird, and those addressed to Moselle. Our Minnie Gray, Mary and Nellie White are mot touchingly beautiful and pathetic, and ought to be in a book. Joe wa3 a lover then and didn’t spend much of hi3 time in running after foxes and rabits. They had too many legs for him. Hurr ah for old Put nam—a grand old county yet—and is still honored by the handsome, dignified and learned Lawson, gave only one vote for Gar field and did that just to keep the yankees Horn saying she was solid for Hancock. Wm. H. Seward lived here in his youth and left a black mark behind him. Ills descendants are now free and I hope his spirit is happy. But I must stop, though I could fill pages with interesting memories given me by ,id father Edmund Reid, a venerable patriarch who moved to this country in 1807, three years before these lands were purchased from the Creeks. It would be well for us and fur pos terity if C. C. Jones or Grady would go ove: the State and interview such men and write up the history of the olden times before thev have all gone to their rest. But and >n't hurry up politics too fast. Let us all rest a little and get breath. Toil our people to go slow. Its a thing that will keep w’lthoi! me. There's n battle imui nent — no imp :’.', iug storm, but all will go along •aim and serene for about Hire* years at least. Wh&lis Ben Hill iu such a dickens of h hurry Tout.

How Watches are Made- It will be apparent to any one, who will examine a SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside from the necessary thickness for en graving and polishing, a large proportion of the precious metal used, is needed only to stiffen and hold the engraved portions in place, and supply the necessary solidity and strength. The surplus gold is actually need less so far as utility and beauty are con oerned. IN JAMES BOSS’ PATENT GOLD \\ ATCII CASES, this waste of pre cious metal is overcome, and the same so lidity and strength produced at from one third to one-half of the u-uiul cost of solid cases. This process is of the most simple nature, as follows: a plate of nickle compo sition metal, especially adapted to the pur pose, has two plates of solid gold soldered one on each side. File three are then passed between polished steel rollers, and the re mit is a strip of heavy plated composition. ! Von which the cases, backs, centres, bevels. &c.. are cut and shaped by suitable dies and for ners. The gold in these cases is sufli ciently thick to admit of ail kinds of chasing, engraving and enamelling ; the engraved oases have been carried until worn perfectly smooth by time and use without removing the gold. THIS IS THE ONLY CASE MADE WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL CER TIFICATE. For sale by all Jewelers. Ask for Ulus* ! trated Catalogues, and to see warrant. Two Preachers. HOW TRET ENGAGED TN A RELIGIOUS DIS CUSSION. Some nights ago Rev. Mr. Mnlbury, a Presbyterian minister, and Rev. Mr. Sassa frass Swing, a Methodist circuit rider, stopped at a hotel in Little Rock. Tiie *no rnen had held union meetings and were friends. They agreed to occupy the same room, and when they had been shown up a pleasant conversa tion on the genera! welfare of the church was introduced by Mr. Muihury. “Ten.” said brother Sassafrass Swing, placing hi3 feet on the round of the chair and : beginning the work of removing his shoe, “ it is good that preachers of different denomina , tioris talk to each other.” “It advances the can so,” replied Mr. Mnlhu | ; T- “ U moves the gospel car with more i celerity for ministers to exchange ideas.” “ Mg Mnlbury, why is it that you ai’ers ; say minister ? You ain’t ashamed of preacher. ; are you ?" I “ I sav minister because it is correct. I was taught at college to speak correctly, and j I intend to do so.” “ Peter, tiie fisherman, clid’t have no such foolishness.” “No, Kii.i l’eter could not present the gospel so eloquently and feelingly as Paul.” “Paul might have had more book lamin’, but when you struck him on the subject of horse sense, Peter was the captain. I have said il many • nd many a time, and I expect to say it many times more, that I'm glad that I never rubbe 1 mv back again a college wall." I “ I bat’s intended as a fling at me, ” said Mr. Muihury, emphatic illy. "Anybody could discover the fact in a moment, Mr. Nwng, that \ot; never rubbed your head against a college wall.” I can preach all around you all the same.” “ You couldn’t preach a genuine sermon to save your iitV.” " 'Veil, Ti! just bet you fifteen hundred bundled of fodder and a young heifer tkat i •'-■an preach the kocUb right otfeii you. And don’t you forget it. I’ve rid a circuit too long to be bulirsgged by a school-house top knot.” Mr. Mai bury flu-hed. He looked at Ids companion for r# moment, arose and said : L dueto use such violent! vnguage, but Is v me to - ay that you are an Ignorant old liar.” Brother Sassafras Swing sprang to his feet, kicked his shoes out of the way. shoved up his Geeves raid exclaimed. “I didn’t want to truck with you, but you've raised 1113- bile. Cut your capers !*’ The two men dived at each other. Mr. Mulbury jammed his thumb in Swing’s eye aid exclaimed ; “He that hath eyes to see let him see.” Mr. Swing reached around, caught Mnlbury's ear between bis teeth and muttered : “lie that has cars to hear, let him hear.” The porter heard the racket, rushed into the room and attempted to separate the men, but Swing bit him ou the leg. Fiually the clerk and two drummers rushed in and dragged the men into the hall. “The uneducated brute 1“ panted Mr. M ulbury. “ The school-house top-knot 1" puffed broth er Sassafras Swing. “ I can fan the teek.s often him any time.” It lias been considered better not to take the case into court. Ninety Kites an Hour. The New York Sun says : “There has just turned out from the Grand Locomotive \\ orks, in Patterson, N. J., anew locomotive '• p--e!iur construction, intended for the Pittsburg. Fort Ws-yne and Chicago railroad. Eugene Fontaine, the inventor, claims that this locomotive can be tue.de to vo ninety ■odes an bout - , while the machinery is run no taster than that of an ordinary locomotive traveling at the rate of sixty miles an hour, the machinery is all on top of the Imibr. in stead ot uno.cr it. The driving wheel rests on suo-her wheel, which in turn re>t.s on tlie track. r l his lower wheM has two rims, one a foot smaller than the other. The outer rim touches the track, and the inner or smaller rim supports the driving wheel. The motion ot the diiviii:' wheel time, couununiinilcd is maguifiH hy this arrangement so that the lower wheel turns one-third faster limn the ! riving wheel, and so the speed is increased, i lic smaller riui of the lower wheel bears to the larger rim a relation similar to that of a very large hub to any wheel. Of course any '•ate of motion communicated to Mich a huh is greatly magnified at the periphery of the wheel. In the same way the mot ion of the driving wheel in this ease is magnified by the peculiar arrangement of the wheel it rest upon.

He expects it to make •JO miles an hour easily.” How Dry it Was. An lmaest oid farmer from the country gave his recollection of the hot spell as fol lows : “F was so dry we couldn't spare water to put in our whisky. The grass was so dr. that every time the win i blew it flew around tke so much ashes. There wasn’t a tear shed and. a funeral for a month. The snn dried up *H hie cattle, and burned off the hair till they looked like Mexican hogs; and the sheep looked like poodle puppies, they shrank up so. Wo had to soak all our hogs to make them hold swill, ami if any c .tr . and ed in tin morning they would be dried beef at dark. I he woods dried up so that the fanners chop ped seasoned timber ail through August, hero ain t a ma'cn through all the country —in fact, no wedding since the Widow Glen:; married old Laker, three months ago. What few grass-hoppers are left are all skin and legs, and I didn’t hear a tea kettle sing for 'ix weeks. We eat our potatoes baked, they being all read}', and we couldn't spare water to boil them. Ajl the red haired girls were afraid to stir out of the house in daylight; and I tell you the truth, I was afeard the old fellow with the cloven foot had moved out of his old home, and settled down with us for life.

I he Frer.ch minister of finance has done a good deed in causing a placard to be posted, which it would he wise for citizens of all c ountries to have before their eyes. It tells Inr mors, ’porhsiuen, boys and others what creatures not to kill, as follows: lledge-hog—Lives mostly on mice, small rodents, slugs and grubs—animals hurtful to agriculture. Don t kill the hedge-hog. i oad—l< arm assistant; he destroys twenty to thirty insects per hour. Don’t kill the toad. Mole—Ts continually destroying grubs, : ar\;e, palmer-worms, and insects injurious to agriculture. No trace of vegetation is ever found in its stomach. Don’t kill the mole. IYrds—Each department loses several mil lions annually through insects. Birds are the only enemies able to contend against them vigorously. They are the great caterpillar killers and agricultural assistants. Children, don’t disturb their nests. Lady -bird—Never destroy, for they are the best friends of farmers and horticulturists, and their presence upon nphis-riden plants is beneficial. Cotton in the West Indies.
