For the Carroll County Tfmes. 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.” F ARMER. -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.’ Linda Look to Your Interest.

CAMP <fe GARRISON. Feb. 16, 187?. Written for the Carroll County Times 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.

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.*- 13ciinbridge Sun. 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 vertiser.

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.

A Representative and Champion qf American Art TH© iUdine ■ An Illustrated Monthly Journal claimed to he the kansoinest Papeer in the World. m “Give my love to the artist workmen of th«c ai.dink who are striving to muke their profesion worthy of admiration for beaaty,as it has always been for usefulness.'’ —Henry 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.
