Cotton in Carroll County.
A 550 lb bale of cotton can be pro
common land in Carroll
foniltf to the gere. On* my farm in
t h*,. 6th Ristriety -on© mmmlkM acre
produced 1750 lbs, seed cotton. This
is common gray land, with eight two
mule loads of stable and other ma
ffiire and 200 Das of Sea Fowl Guano.
Also one acre and one fourth produced
2300 lbs. of seed cotton. This was red
or mulatto land, cleared m 1828, was
rtScd for pasture eight years* in 1868
enclosed again, in 1869 some barn
£Urd litter wsa gsed,*!ikewise in 1870
and 1871, a few Cai4 of litter
.from the horse and cow lot, with 200
lbs of Sea Fowl Guano. The result j
as above. It was believed for years
that cotton could not be grown to j
advantage in this county. On the i
lresh land, the weed grew luxurious, '
but hot the desired lint. It i» now
ascertained that the land in cultivation
for a length of time, aided by fertil
izers produce the great end sought, a
good yield of cotton. Many of our
citizens, and enterprising young men
have left the land of their birth, pa
rents and sisters, and many other fail
jewels and have gone West, to find a
better country to make fortunes and
add another rib, at the risk of health
any many other advantages, that are
not common in the new countries.—
While Carroll is proverbial for health
with its salubrious and chrystal streams,
gushing from the pure fountain, with
hol* facilities for educating her'sons
and daughters, her citizens will com
pare favorably with any of her sister
counties, in intelligence and morals,
with the present prospect, of soon
being as wealthy as -they.
So you see Mr. Editor, we are a few
Whortleberries over the Griffin News
land of “ possums and posimmons.”

-Death.
Life is sweet and earth is beautiful;
but “death lurks in every breeze.”—
Sorrows and disappointments cluster
thick along our paths, and it is well :
we are voyaging to another land ; and
were it not for the clouds to darken
our hearts, too well we would love
eartlfs sunshine. If our passage
through life be a stormy one, we will
more willingly leave it, and “better en
joy the peaceful haven of celestial rest.”
“Afflictions are blessings in dis
guise.” The iron ere of disappoint
ment and pain is transmuted into pure
gold, when we permit the Great
Alchemist to watch over the crucible.
The Father’s love and mercy are in
the bitterest things, and the wonder
-lul sweetnesses he drops into our
hearts, if opened to Him, will com
pensate for the joys he takes;” and
even when the severest trial comes,
and a loved one is missed from our
side, though the parting breaks our
hearts, our Father knoweth best.
We hear the loved voices for the
last time ; then kiss the cold lips, fold
the precious hands across still breasts,
and la) them down to restin “the lone
city of the dead.”
This sad duty has once more been
performed in .our little town. The
tear of sympathy shed at the death of
our young friend Ernie C. Reese, is
is not yet dry upon our cheeks.—
Though far from Carrollton, when the
fatal disease seized him, he was
brought back to his own loved home;
but the L tying care and watchful at
tentiou of fond parents and the sym
pathies ot many friends, could not
keep hiiu long. A fe.w weeks he lin
gered in his earthly home, then closed
his eyes «ou earth to open .them again
in Heaven.
So young and talented to die ! but
the Savior had need of him and he
obeyed the summons without a dread.
Ready for the call, he had no fears;
then bow in meekness to God’s will;
for “ Ilis time is the best for the call
ed and for the waiting.”
Ernie is done with suffering. lie
has let fall the cross to receive the
crown of life. Sweet were the streams
of music he awoke on earth; but
sweeter, purer are those which resound
in Heaven when his fingers touch the
rapturous cords of the golden harp.
To him death was the very gate of
life—“ God’s sweetest message, and
the eye of faith enables the waiting
ones behind to see that the separation
is but for a ‘ little while.’ ”
“Be ye also ready,” We know not
the time when we shall die The old,
the middle-aged, the young all drop
together into the grave.
Who will try to walk the danger
ous paths of life without a Savior’s
living hand to guide ; and without a
j friend in the dark hour of death 1 —
j What are the joys of earth compared
to those of Heaven ?
“ do wing thy flight from star to star,
From world to luminous worlds, as far
As the universe spreads its flaming wall;
Take all the pleasures of all the spheres.
And multiply each through endless years,
©ne moflient of Ifeaven is worth them all.’

How to Treat a Good Wife.
The young or old husband has
duties and responsibilities in the mat
ter of house keeping.
He is the head of the family.. He
must be qualified to manage his affairs
and provide judiciously for its needs.
He must divide with his partner the
burdens of the household, lightening
her labors as be does bis* but neither
can wholly' relieve the other from his
or her responsibilities, for each hold*
a position involving certain specific
individual duties which can be delega
ted to no one else.
Men should be kind to their wives
about the house, in seeing that they
have good wood prepared at their
i hand, abundance of water, and lots of
; good tilings for them to c.ook into
; me naeks, that their husbands may en-
I joy a hearty meal “ purchased at the
price of their wives slavery.”
Men should also learn to help cook,
atfd be handy about the cook-room.
They can fry meat, eggs* chickens,
beef-stake and make coffee* while their
“ dear wives ” are preparing something
else that is more complex, such as
buiscuits, pies, ash-cakes, &c.
Husbands be good and kind to your
companions, quit loafing on the streets,
and spending your dimes for that, that
will do you tfor yours any good, but
spend your tirne(if you have nothing
else to do) with your wife in hold
ing frequent conversations on subjects
of interest or importance to both.
Freely exchange views and feelings,
ask and receive advice; and above all
things, be open and frank. If you
have committed errors, confess them
and beg pardon, and let there be no
item of business, no bidden corner in
the heart of either, into which the oth
er is not always freely admitted. Re
member nothing is more destitute of
love than concealment or dissembling.
And lastly in the place of spending
your dimes for brandy and other use
less drinks, spend it for something
that will add to the comfort ot your
wife, then you may expect a peaceful
home, a loving wife to pluck with you
the richest flowers (by your onward
pathway) that ever bloomed in the
garden of Eden.

flaT 1 Advertising as the means of
prospeiity is not as well understood as
it should be. Nothing can take its
place. It is a fact that no one who
has advertised liberally and systemati
cally has felt like disputing that it was
the best spent money he put into his
business. Asa horse was never made
fat by a single bushel of oats, so a
single advertisement is never a perfect
test of the benefits of advertising.—
The man with geuuiue wares to sell
who advertised them in the right way
without success would be a euriosity.*-

Electing Postmasters — The plan
of electing postmasters by the people
is now being agitated in Congress and
a strong sentiment in favor of it has
been developed. It is stated that
many appointments at the north are
now made on the strength of popular
preference as shown at the polls, the
position very frequently beinggiven to
the man who goes before the Presi
dent with such endorsement. The
New Y r ork Tribune, speaking in favor
of the change, argues that it would,be
only reasonable to permit the people
who must use the postoffices to choose
the person who is to serve them. To
make the postmaster elective would
be to cut off a large and fruitful source
of official corruption. —Savannah Ad

Daniel Webster in Boyhood.—
Daniel Webster in boyhood gave no
promise of the extraordinary powers
of his manhood, and especially of his
fitness for public life and speaking.
His growth was slow and solid, not
rapid or brilliant The following rec
ord of bis early years may encourage j
some of onr yonnsf readers:
* a |
\\ hen about seven years of age his
father kept a “ Yankee Tavern," and
young Daniel useti to entertain the
guests by reading to them some of ,
the psalms of David. Even the rough
teamsters, when they pulled up their .
hoses, would say, “ Come let’s go in
and hear a psalmtromDan Webster!" j
His Voice at that time was deep, |
rich and musical. But as a schoolboy
lie was no elocutionist, or rather his
sensitiveness was such that he could ;
not practice. His first effort at tour
teen was a failure, tor the moment he
began he was embarassed and burst
into tears. He tried many times, pre
paring himself carefully, but when bis
name was called, and he saw all eyes
turned upon him, he could not rise. So
much for this great , orator. Let no
timid be discouraged.

Ward Beecher •
The ALDftnc, while issued with all tbs reg
ularity, lias none of ths temporary or timely
interest characteristic of ordinary periodic
als- It is an elegant miscellany of pure,
light, and graceful literature, and a collection
of pictures, the rarest specimens of artistic
skill, in black and white. Although each
succeeding number affords TR fresh pleasure to
its friends, the real value and beauty of The
Aldine will be most appreciated after it has
been bound up «t the close of the year.-
While other public publications may claim
superior cheapness as compared with rivalsof
a similar class, The Aldine is a unique and,
original conception—alone and ‘u'napproach
ed—absolutely without competition m price
or character. The possessor of the volume
just completed cannot dnplicate the quantity
of fine pupe* and engravings in any -otter
shape or number of volumes for ten times its
cost.
The labor of getting The Aldioe ready on
the press is so gieat that repri ting; is out of
the question- With the exception of a small
number specially reserved for binding, the c
ditiun of 1871, is already exhausted, and il is
now a scarce as well as valuable book.
NEW FEATURES FOR 1872.
ART DEPARTMENT.
The e»th«siußtic support so readily accord
ed to their enterprise, wherever it has been
introduced, has convinced the publishers of
The Aldine of-the soundness of their theory
that the American public would recognize
and heartily support any sincere eflort to ele
vate the tone and standard of illustrated pub
beat ions. That so many weakly wicked sheets
exist and thrive is not evidence that there is
no market for anything better-indeed the sue
cess of The Aldine from the start is direct
proof of the contrary. With a population to
vast, and of such varied taste, a publisher
can choose his patrons, and his paper is rath
er indicative of his own than of the taste of
the country. Asa guarantee of the excel
lence of this department,the publishers would
beg to announce during the owning year
specimens from the following artists:
W T Riclards, Granville Perkin*, James giuTler
\Vm Har., FOC Dark-v, R g Piguet.
vA'm Beard, Victor Nehlig, Prank Beard,
George Smiley.Wm H Wilcox, Paul Dixox,
Aug. Will, James II Beard, J Howe,
r l'hese piefares arj being reproduced with*
out regard to expense by the very best en
gravers m tlie country, and will bear the sa
verest critical comparison with the best for
eign work.it being the determination of the
publishers that Tb&Aldi&e shall be a success
ful vicilieation ol American taste m compe
tition with any existing publication k> the
woild.
LITERARY DEPARTMENT.
Where so much is paid to illustration and
tret up of the work, too much dependence on
appearance « may very naturally be feared.
To anticepate each misgivings, it is only nec
essary to state that the editorial management
of The Aldine has been intrusted to
MT. RICHARD HENRY STODDARD,
who has received assurances of assistance
from a host of the most popular writers and
poets of the country.
THE VOLUME EOR 187*
will contain nearly 300 pages and about 250
fine engravings Commencing with the nnm
ber for January, every third nember will con
tain a beautiful tinted picture on plate pa
per, inserted as a frontlspice.
The Christmas number for 1872 will be a
splended volume iti itself, containing fifty en
