A Paper for the People.
THE MORNING NEWS.
IT WOULD REQUIRE THE SCOPE OF QUITE A
large volume to contain the good things that
are said about the Morning News by its contem
poraries of the Southern press. It is almost daily
referred to as “The best paper in the South.”
“the leading Georgia daily,” etc., and is gener
ally conceded to be in all respects a modern
Southern newspaper.
This is the fame that the Morning News covets,
and no pains will be spared hereafter to make it
still worthier of the confidence and patronage of
the people of Georgia and Florida. The ample
resources of the establishment will be devoted to
the improvement of the paper in respect to its
already large facilities for gathering the current
news of the and ay, and its staff of special corres
pondents has been reorganized with a view to
meeting every possible contingency that may
arise.
Although the Morning News has little or no
competition within the field of its circulation,
nevertheless no effort will bo considered too ex
pensive that give the earliest and freshest infor
mation to its readers. In this respect there will
be no relaxation of the endeavor to keep it for
ahead of its contemporaries.
The features that have rendered the paper so
popular will be maintaiued. The editorial de
partment will lie conducted with the same digni
fied thoughtfulness, conservative vigor, aud earn
est devotion to principal that have characterized
it. The racy reliability of tiie local, and the ac
curacy and completeness of the commercial de
partmerts, will be kept up to the old standard,
and improvements will be made whatever they
are suggested by experience.
The Morning News is the only Savannah paper
that publishes the Associated Preßs dispatches
and the Telegraphio Market Reports authorized
by the Commercial Bureau of New York City, lu
addition to this, the Local Market reports will be
full and reliable, and will enable business men of
Georgia aud Florida to form estimates as accu
rate aud as intelligent as If they were in the
city.
In a word, the Morning Nows will comprise
every feature that renders the modern newspaper
attractive, and its readers may confidently look
to its columns for tlie latest information in regard
to everything of current interest, It will admit
of no rivalry in its own proper field, aud will al
low no eompeditor to outstrip it in any depart
ment of journalistic enterprise.

A Good Indian Story.
Tlie recent celebration at Mays
ville, Ky., of the centennial of the
first corn planting in Mason county,
brought out the following story: On
the 22d of June 1870, a company of
six hundred Caiffcdians and Indians
under Col. Byrd, a British officer,
came, with six cannons, in boats or
canoes, down the Big Miami river,
up the Ohio to where Covington
now stands, thence up the Licking
river to Ruddle’s or Hinkson’s Sta
tion. Their approach was most
painfully here heralded to the little
company of settlers by the booming
of a cannon—a sound which had
never before waked the echoes in
Kentucky. A surrender was deman
ded 'with promised protection by the
British from Indian ferocity and in
dignities, and of kind treatment as
prisoners. But no white man ever
yet could restrain the terrible pas
sions of Indian warriors with priso
ners in their hands, and in this case
several were murdered and others
threatened with death and barbar
ously treated before Col. Byrd could
arrest their terrible fate by threats
of instantly returning .to Canada
and abandoning the expedition.
Martin’s Station, five miles distant
and three miles below Paris, on
Stoner creek, was surrendered after
ward; but the prisoners were saved
from death by Col. Byrd, although
the Indians divided the spoils among
themselves. Among the captured at
Ruddle’s Station were several boys.
John Ruddle could not travel be
cause of a stone bruise on his foot:
he was tomaliaw'ked and scalped,
but his two young brothers, Abram
and Stephen, were spared, because
of their cheerfulness and bravery.
George and John Sail, two little
boys, the latter only two years old,
were about to be tomahawked, as
too young to be of any value as pris
oners, when a warrior, less Wood
thirsty than the rest, proposed a
test of John’s capability of endur
ance and nerve. To ascertain if he
would make a plucky Indiau, and
so be worth the raising, they deter
mined to roll him down a high and
steep stony hank, whore the knocks
and bruises would sorely try him.
He underwent the cruel ordeal
without a whimper or winching, or
any show’ of fear or suffering, and
with a smile began to clamber up
the bank, seeming to say, “Do that
again.” Such coolness and self
possession in a little child struck
them with intense admiration, and
they adopted him and his brother.
George grew up to manhood and
married among them: but John was
rausomed in a few years and return
ed to Harrison county, and lived a
long and useful life.
Coon Story.
The following is from n neigh
boring exchange:
“A farmer a few miles from town
caught three coons, and shut them
up in a barrel in his wood shed.
Next morning, having occasion to
leave home on business, he was ab
sent all day. About twilight a two
year old porker came smelling about,
and thrust his nose into a crevice in
the barrel, where a piece of broken
stave had dropped out. One of the
coons instantly seized piggy’s snout
and held her fast.
The hog gave a squeal that could
have been heard a mile away; the
farnWr’s dog rushed up, and by way
of doing something, caught the pig
by the leg and began to pull and
gnaw with all his might and main.
By this time the farmer’s wife got
upon the scene, and after vainly try
ing to beat off the dog, she seized
him by the tail and began to pull
too, and soi'oam almost as loucl as
the pig. A neighbor ran to the releif
of the party, and seeing sparks fly
ing out of the stove-pipe, concluded
the house was on fire, so he snatch
ed up a pail of water, scrambled to
the roof, and pouring it down the
stove-pipe, cracked anew stove in
several pieces.
Meanwhile, the united strength
of the woman, the dog and the pig
upset the barrel, and one of the
coons rushed out, stumbling over the
dog, he seized his tail close to the
woman’s hand, bit it through; the
woman, with the fragment in her
hand tumbled over the barrel just
as the man descended from the roof
of the house. He ran to her assis
tance, and was in the act of picking
her up, when her husband returned,
who seeing his wife struggling in
the arms of a stanger, rushed upon
the supposed intruder, and a rough
and tumble fight ensued with varied
success. At length they paused to
take breath and entered into an
explanation, the result of which
was that everything was put to
rights, save the* stove and the dog’s
tail.”

Woman’s Love.
It is we confess, rather a hard
lot which is assigned to a woman
that she is never allowed to be the
first to tell her love. Some have
contended that this is a right of
which she ought not to be deprived,
and that it is both unjust and cruel
that she should not enjoy the same
privilege as a man to express a pref
erence for any one to whom she hap
pens to take a fancy. Whatever in
trinsic fairness might desire, howev
er, the distinction between the two
sexes, in this respect, is well settled
by long established usage, that to all
present practical purposes, it seems
idle to cavil at it now.
But women often feel what cus
tom forbids them to express; and it
is possible that they silently indulge
their predilections the more freely
for the very reason that they are
prohibited from giving to them a
voice. We think such indulgence
often leads to great unhappiness,
and sometimes to lasting disappoint
ment and grief.
We receive a large number of let
ters from young ladies, in which
they avow frankly that they have
permitted themselves to fall in love
with young men of whose sentiments
toward them they are in doubt.
Now we earnestly caution girls and
young women against allowing their
affections to become fastened, in
this way, upon persons to whom
they have no business to
to extend.
It may be said that love takes to
itself wings, and is not always un
der the control of the reason and
will.
We admit that there is a degree
of truth iu this; but while the heart
cannot be absolutely governed by
the head, it may be to a great extent*
and the effort should always be made
to keep it in subjection. So much
of misery results from falling in
love where there is no prospect w
probability of its return, that it
should be carefully guarded
against.
Young women 'should nek allow
their thoughts to dwell and con--
centratc on young men who have
never shown them any partiality*,
and whose feelings consequently
may be presumed to be indifferent
in reference to them. They are not
privileged to make proposals, ancl
they should study to curb the pre
mature bestowal of their affections
as custom eurha their tongues.—
