VOL. XIV.
How Father Cured Hie Horse.
“Well.” finid Reuben, the story
teller, “father always wanted .-
horse, because the folks in Greene
lived scattered, and be had so far
to go to attend funerals and wed
dings and visit schools, you know;
but he never felt as if he could
afford to buy one. But one day
he was coming afoot from Hildreth,
a stranger asked him to ride.
“Father said : ‘That’s a hand
some horse you a»e driving. I
• should like to own such a horse
myself.’ •
“What will yon give for him?’
said the man.
“Do you want to sell?'—says
father.
“ ‘Yes, 1 do ; and I'll sell cheap,
too,’ says he.
“ ‘Oh, well,’ says father, ‘it’s no
use talking; for I havent the money
to buy with.”
“ ‘Make me an offer,’ said he.
“‘Well, just to put an end to
the talk,’ father says, ‘l’ll give you
seventy five dollars for the horse.’
“‘I ou may have him,’ says the
man as quick as a Hash but you'll
repent of your bargain in a week.’
“ ‘Why, what ails the horse?’
says father.
“ ‘Ails him? Ke’s got the Old
Nick in hhn, that’s what ails him,’
says he. ‘lf he has a will to go,
he’ll go; but, if he takes a notion
to stop, all (treation can't start him.
I’ve stood and beat the horse till
the sweat ran off me in streams;
I’ve tired a gun off close to his
ears; I’ve burned shavings . under
him. I might beat him to death,
or roast him alive, before he’d
budge an inch.’
“ ‘l'll take the horse,’ says fath
er. ‘What’s his name.
“‘Goorge,’ said the man.
“ ‘I shall call him Georgie,’ said
father.
“Well, father brought him home
and we boys were pleased, and we
fixed a place for him in the barn,
and curried him down and fed him
well; and father said, ‘talk to him,
boys, and let him know you feel
friendly.’
So we coaxed and petted him,
and the next morning father har
nessed him and got into the wagon
to go. But George wouldn’t stir
a step. Father got out and patted
him, and we brought him apples
and elover tops; and once in a
while father would say, ‘Get up,
Georgie,’ but he didn’t strike the
horse a blew. By the by, he says:
‘this is going to take time. Well,
Georgie, we’ll see which has got
the most patience, you or I.' So
he sat in the wagon, and took out
his skeleton”—
“Skeletons?” said Poppet, inquir
ingly.
“Os sermons, you know. Minis
ters always carry a little book to
put things into they think of when
they are out walking or riding or
hoeing in the garden.
“Well, father sat two full hours
before the horse was ready to start;
but when he did there was no more
trouble for tlyit day. Ihe next
morning 'twas the same thing over
again, only Georgie gave in a little
sooner. All the while, it seemed
as if father couldn't do enough for
the horse. He was round the sta
ble feeding him and fussing over
him, and talking to him in his
pleasant, gentle way; and the third
morning, when he had fed and
curried him and harnessed him with
his own hands, somehow, there was
a different look in the horse s eyes.
But, when father was ready to go,
Georgie put his feet together and
woullnt stir. Well, Dove was
playing about the yard; and
she brought hei stool and climbed
up by the horse’s head.
“Dove, tell what you said to
Georgie that morning."
“I gave him a talking too," said
the little girl- “I told him it was
perfectly’ diculous for him to act
so; that he'd come to a real good
place to live, where cverydody
helped everybody; that lie was a
minister’s horse, and God would
not love him if he was not a good
horse. That’s what I told him,
and then I kissed him o.) the nose."
“And what did George do?’
“Why, he heard every woid I
said: and, when I got through,
he felt so 'shame of himself he
couldn't hold up his head: so he
just droped it till it almost touched
the ground, and lie looked as sheep
Mi as if he Lad been stealing a
hundred sheep.'’
“Y r es,” said Beubm.“and, when
father told him to go, he walked
off like a shot. He lias never
made any trouble since. That s
the way father cured a balky horse.
And that night when he was tin
harnessing, he rubbed his head
against his shoulder, and told him
as plain as a horse could speak,
that, he was sorry. lie’s tried to
m ike it up with father < v< r since,
for the trouble ha made hiin.M hen
he’s louse in the pasture father has
only to stand at the bars and call
Ins name, and he walks up as quiet
as as an old sheep. Why I’ve seen
him back himself between the
shafts of the old wagon many a
time to save father the trouble.—
Father woul I not take two hundred
dollars for the horse today. H e
cats anything you give him. Sib
often brings out some of her
dinner to him.”
GEN. JOE JOHNSTON.
His Peculiar Powers of Observa
tion and other Characteristics.
St. Lon’n Republican,
The nomina'ion and confirma
tion of Gen Joseph E Johnston as
Commissioner of Railroads is not
only a fittirg tribute to the exalted
merit of a great and good man.
but aconspicious example of the
ability of our President to select
ami “put the right man in
the right place.” His
long life spent in the public service
is on record, and few men can bet
ter afford to commit their history
to the judgement of-niankind.
Here are a few anecdotes illuss
trative of his peculiar powers of
observation and other characteris
tics of mind which have not ap
peared in print :
After assuming command of the
Army of the Tennessee, at Dalt<>n,
a grand review was ordered, and ’
Gen Johnston, superbly mounted I
on a magnificent thoroughbred bay,'
came sweeping down our line, foK
lowed by the usual cavalcade of
Generals and staff officers. He
would halt, a moment in front of
the colors of each regiment, face
to the line and raise his cap with
martial grace never excelled. In
passing our regiment, his quick eye
caught the gallant bearing of our
boy Colonel, John E Murray, then
rbout 21 years of age, who had
been a cadet at West Point for two
year?, and was notably distinguish-j
ed for what the boys called a “gal
lus salute.” After the parade, Gen. 1
Johnston sought our Brigadier,
Govan, and inquired the name of
his young Colonel of the “grand
martial salute,” and, after hearing i
of his proud achievements as the
hero of the brigade, he invited him
to his headquartersand entertained
him for a week. The Colonel used
to say that “he picked up more sol
id chunks of wisdom that week
than ho had ever done in his life
before.” The brilliant career of
this boy closed with the campaign
in the la>t battle around Atlanta,
where he, “foremost lighting fell,"
with a bullet through his commis
sion of Brigadier-General in his
breast pocket.
During this Georgia campaign.
Gen. Johnston would often inspect'
the hastily constructed line of rifle
pits, and in riding down the line at
full speed he would sometimes halt
suddenly and beckon an officii* of
his staff, and with a few rapid mo
tions of his hand order an angle re
versed or the line advanced or re
tired, in c mformity.with the con
tour of the ground in f out; and
on one of these occasions, the wri
ter, wl o was lounging on the
ground with his companions some
thirty paces lo the <’ear, male a
wager that he could attract the
General’s attention by a salute.
Upon arising and facing tov’ards
the General as he rushed by look
ing in an oppisite direction, the
writer modestly raised his “coon
skin.” When the Gereral’s white
hat shot up in tho air in graceful
recognition the boys all remarked
that the “old man could see as well
in the rear as lie could in front of
him.” >.
In passing through Jackson
Miss., to take command of the ar
my, a large crowd of citizens and
furloughed soldiers insisted on his
presenting himself on the platform
of tho car and making them a
speech. He said: “If all the able
bodied men 1 see before mu were
in line at the front, there would he
no occasion for a retreat of the ar
my.”
"When he was relieved of com
mand at Atlanta, hi- soldiers literal
ly shed tears of hopelesss sorrow,
and when Gen. Hood s plan of
swinging around to Gen Sherman s
rear was fully detailed ty . him by
a staff officer and his opinion ask
ed as to tho wisdom of the plan, he
replied with salness in the proph
etic words, “Too brilliant.
In social conversation with his
staff one of them asked him how
many times he had been wounde i.
He replied; “Eight times." The
staff rcm irkc'.l that he wa< the
most unfortunate General in mis
respect he had ever known.
“No-sir.'’ said ho, “tho m-»st
fortunate; for it was only bv the
nu’rcy of God I was not killed up
on either occasion."

CARROLLTON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING. MAY 8 1885.
FLORIDA.
Roopville. Ga, March. 30th ’BS.
Editor of the Times:—Think
ll: - some of jour readers might
enjoy an account of a visit to Flor
ida, I ask permission through y »nr
most valuable paper, to give them
an account of a trip recently made
by myself.
Boarding the train at Can oilton
25th February and stopping at
Newnan to spend the night with
friends, it was the 26th before
I arrived in Macon. I arrived at
6, and fifteen minutes after left
for Jacksonville, seeing the beauti
ful cities of Albany and WayCross
only by moonlight- At Jackson
ville 1 found the leaves on the
trees, and everything growing as it
is with us in June. The orange trees
on the streets planted for shade
were in full bloom. The white
blossoms, gyeen leaves and yellow
Oranges, make them beautiful be
yond disruption. At dinner we
had squashes, tomatoes, beans and
English peas etc.
Jacksonville is visited more than
any other point in Florida, and
consequently is one of the most sty
lish cities in the south. Iler fine ho
tels and accommodating hotel
keepers make it very attractive to
visitors. It is also a considerable
commercial center, heing situated
about 25’miles from the mouth 'of
the St. John’s river, and having
one of the finest whaTfs. There
wore no less than a hundred boats
at the wharf the morning 1 arriv
ed. After enjoying for a day and
night Jscksonville’s beautiful sce
nery, balmy air, and -tropical
fruits, 1 left on a boat the next
morning at 8, 16 for Palatka. Sail
ing up St. Johns the eye was de
lighted with many beautiful towns,
Orange groves and gardens, one
little patch of corn about two feet
high, and diners kind of fowls
such as the Engle, Osprey, and
Buzzards with white tails and
necks. In the water we saw fish
that would weigh frrom 16 to 20
pounds, turtle that weigh from
one to 200 pounds, and alligators
from 6 inches to 12 feet long.
Ihdatka is a beautiful little city,
situated on the west side of the riv-.
er. Here I walked out in the coun
try about one mile and found noth
ing but swatop grass, palmetto
bushes and a few trees covered
with moss frem 10 to twenty feet
long, and one of the most beautiful
Orange groves that Florida af
fords.
Boarding the boat again at 7:30
in evening, we arrived atj Sanford '
at 7:30 the next morning. On the
up trip on the St. Johns, we passed
through several lakes, notable
among them L ike George, which
is 18 miles wide, above Lake
George, on the east bank of the
river, we stopped to Bok at the
Silver springs, which cover an acre
of ground and are of unfathomable
depth. The wat< r is so strongly
impregnated with sulphur, that
you can smell it two miles distant,
and so clear that you can see the
fi c h at a depth of forty feet.
We found Sanford a beautiful
town, situated on the west bank of
the Sr. Jehus, but so sandy that
yon can scarcely walk except on the
side walk. Here I saw a great
many Orange groves, and the ba
nanas growing. They grow on a
sort of stalk with the fruit on top
as the tassel on corn. As the fruit
grows it bends over to one side, and
by the lime it gets ripe it hangs
nearly or quite perpendicular.
The leaves on the stalk are simi
lar to blades of fodder, but about
twice as wide.
From Sanford to Orlando 1 past
a beautiful section of country, we
saw nothing but orange groves and
gard-ms, fr >m which they expected
to make a living. The groves were
\oung, but were very promising
indeed. Arriving at Orlando Mar.
Ist at 11 a m. I found it atlvuri-h
--i-hing place of about 4,000 inhab
itants, although three Years ago,
there were only three houses where
the beouiful city now stands. Or
lando is a gr. at shipping point for
the orange growers, being in Or-
|ange county, and as the word
seems to indicate, one of the finest
sections for oranges in the state.
One grove a mile from town con
tains 160 acres, and is a handsome
fortune to its northern owners.
Here we saw the first lemons grow
ing, the largest grove containing
no more than one acre. We saw
lemons as lafge a- any five of those
commonly seen in Georgia stores.
In fact none of the finest Florida
fruit is ever shipped to Georgia. I
also saw some of the finest rice
growing 1 h ive ever seen. It was
about four feet high, in full bloom.
In a garden near the depot there
were the most beautiful mnskmels
ons lying on the ground, just at
the right stage for eating. After
spending several days in the beau
tiful city of Orlando. I took th?
train for KisJnuuee. 1 found it
to be a most beautiful little town
situated on a lake about 10 miles
wide. Being visited daily by the
boats makesit a prospering uommcr
cial town. It has one of the finest
hotels in the south. 1 here is a beau
tiful Island in the midst of the
lake which supplies the town with
oranges. 1 also saw two or three
patches of sugar cane in Kissim
mee, which was about 12 feet hMh.
o
After staying a short time here I
left for Cork, which is a small
place, but in a beautiful country
indeed. I saw corn in full silk
and tassle, and some few stalks of
cotton in bloom and some grown
bolls. JL his is also a fine orange
growing section of country. Af
ter staying at this place a day or
two I left for Tampa, which is sit
uated on Tampa bay. This is a
buisiness town but not a nice look
ing place at all, with the exception
of the oranges, lemons, and banan
as, which are numerous. There
has not been.any frost there this
winter to kill the leaves. A man
can get anything in Florida that
he wants, but you may rest, assured
he will have to pay its full va’ue
to get it. I saw but three hogs in
the state and it would take all
three of them to weigh a hundred
pounds. But 1 like to ' ave seen
two more. I’saw their heads for
sale, and they sold at once for 10
cents per pound. B icon is worth
15 cents, venison 15 cents, and
board from fift\ to ninety dollars
-per month, a’ the first class hotels.
But orange- were worth only a
cent apiece at retail. Florida is
noted for its beautiful fresh water
lakes, but the water tastes like it
had been boiled. I cannot say
that 1 like Florida better than
Georgia, but it is far more beauti
ful to the eye. In my round 1
saw but little cream, 7 but Florida
was surely dressed out in green-.
lours respectfully,
F. M. Akins.
What the South has to fear.
Columbus Times,
There is no more occasion now
than heretofore for tho people of
the south to be careful and troub
led about crops. There is just as
much cause, and no more than has
existed ever since the war. It
is the same necessity which has ex
isted for twenty years to raise
bread and meat —no more. It is
a neglected necessity which has
saddled us with dependence, and
retarded our progress, and made
our people hewers of wood and
drawers of water. Do not let us
be deceived by the windy plethora
of growing towns and isolated lo- I
calities which seem to grow and i
fatten on accident. There is no '
general prosperity—there never
will be in any country where agri- ■
culture languishes and decays. No ’
people can suivive long the annual
bankruptcy of a cotton crop. The
(•nd will come at last, unless the
remedy comes first, and it will be a
terrible advent. If five years ago
the south had abandoned cotton,
except as incidental crop,today the
south would be rich and prosper
ous. We have nothing to do with
the Russian war; let that take care
of itself. Our greatest ene
my is our king cotton.
He is the tyrant that has smoth
ered u\ in his downy em
brace until our locks are growing
a- white as his. If the
south would make its own
meet and bread, the whole world
might go to fighting if it choose.

MOB-RIDDEN PANAMA
Withdrawal of American Troops
—The City in the Hands of In
s'argsants.
j Tho following dispatch, dated
Saturday, was received in this city
from Panama: , “All the trops were
withdrawn from this city last night
The consequences cannot be fore
seen, but there will be serious trou
ble on the arrival of the Colombian
troops, due here to night, is cer
tain. Gen. Aizpnrn has proposed
to the commander of the United
States forces here to withdraw his
troops to the station of the Pana
ma Railway Company, Gen.
pum guaranteeing the security o f
the city. Gen. Aizpuru, however
well disposed, will be able to
prevent the destruction of proper
ty and life. Barricades are being
erected in the streets and sand-bag
defenses are being constructed on
the balcony of the barracks. This
shows that the insurgents are de
termined to fight in the town.—
Ihe native feeling here is very
strong. It is considered cruel for
the I nited States forces to occupy
the town and. then to withdraw,
leaving the people helpless and the
city in control of a lawless mob."
President Scrytnser, of the Cen
tral and South America Telegraph
Company, to-day telegraphed as
follows to Secretary of Sta f e Bay
ard:
“All American troops were with
drawn from Panama last night. The
town is in the hands of the rebels,
flic streets now barricaded. 1
have telegraphed as follows to the
Superentindent of the company at
Panama: ‘Demand in writing
from the American Consul or com
mandant of the United States for
ces protection to our property and
men. Al present the United States
has by treaty all the rights and ob
ligations that Columbia has, and
must be held responsible for dam
age done to American property or
for failure to keep open communi
cation.’”
Similiar dispatches were also sent
to Secretary of the Navy Whitney
and to the manager of the company
at Galveston.
“Girls help Father,’’
“My hands are so stiff that I
can hardly hold a pen,” said Far
mer, Wilber, as he sat down to
“figure out” some accounts that
ware getting behind-hand. •
“Can I help you father?” said
Lucy, laying down her bright cros
diet work. “I shall be glad to do
so if you will explain what you
want."
“Well, I shouldn't wonder if
you can, Lucy,” he said reflective
ly. “Pretty good at figures are
you?”
“I would be ashamed if I did
not know something of them after
going twice through the arithme
tic,” said Lucy laughing.
“Well, I can show you in five
minutes what I have to do, and
it'll be a wonderful help if you can
do it fpr me. I never was a mas
ter hand at accounts in my best
days, and it does not grow any ea
sier sin ?e I have put on spectac
les.”
Verj patiently did the helpful
daughter plod through the long t
lines of figures, leaving the gay
worsted to lie idle all the evening,
though she was in such haste to
finish her scarf. It was reward
enough to see her tired father, who
had been toiling all day for her
self and rhe dear ones, sitting so
cozily iu his easy chair enjoying
his weekly paper.
•The clock struck nine before
her task was over, but the hearty
“Thank you daughter, a thousand
times,” took away all sense of wea
riness that Lucy might have felt.
“It’s rather looking up when a
man cm have a clerk,’ said father.
“It’s not every farmei that can af
ford it.*’
“Not every farmer's daughter is
capable of making one,'’ said the
mother, with a little pardonable
maternal pride.
“Nor every one that would be
willing if able,” said Mi. Wiber;
which last was a sad truth. How
many daughters might be of use to
their fathers in this and many oth
er ways, who never think of light
ening a care of labor! If asked
to perform some little service, it is
done as best with a reluctant step
and unwilling air that robs it of all
sunshine or claim of gratitude.
Girls, help your father. Give
him a cheerful home to rest in
when evening comes, and do not
worry his life away by fretting be
cause he cannot afford you all the
luxuries you covet. Children ex
ert as great an influence on thcii
parents as parents do on their chil
dren. —Young Reaner.

we call Ben Butler might run for
an office and not get elected.
Disenchantment.
Disenchantment befell the young
man who, seeing the effulgence of
a haudsonn actress —Nammie
Braham—at the Bijou Opera
House, as she shone in the -p'ea
dors ot burlesque, sought an ac
qnintanee. The ceremony >f intro
duction was so carelessly perform
ed by an attache of the house that
Nannie understood the fellow—
really a member of a Fifth avenue
family, to be an actor.
“Oh; I seem to have caught on”
she glibly replied. “The part aint
all ginger—tkeiv's more graft and
chestmitts in it than anything else,
but I ma le my mind up to play it
for all it is worth."
At this point she saw the look
of horror in his face, and guessed
the mistake she had made.
“Oil I beg your pardon,” she
demurely added with a suddeii re
sumption of the shy modesty which
had originally bewitched him; “I in
advertently useu some of the dread
fully shocking slang of the stage."
But the shock had been irretriev
ably given.
Mercury and Potash Vanquished
’Mr. Wiley F. Hood, known to
almost every man, woman and
child in Athens, bears the following
testimony as to the virtues of Swift's
Specific (S. S. S.)
For twelve years I suffered from
mercurial poison, with all its tortu
ing pains. I was treated by sev
eral physicians, and was dosed on
iodide of potassium abundantly.
This treatment increased my trou
ble. My blood was thoroughly in
fected; my skin was thick and yel
low; my stomach was weak so that
I could not retain my food; my per
son was kroken out with sores
which became offensive ulcers, and
my strength was gone. Mercury
brought on rheumatism, and potash
has ruined my stomach, and I
thought there was nothing left for
me but to die—so thought many
of my friends as I went hobbling
along the street. I tried all the
remedies within reach, but to no
avail. At last a friend suggested
the use of Swift’s Specific. Like any
other drowning men, I was, ready
to catch at any straw that came in
sight. I procured six bottles
from Dr. Long. The first bottle
gave me hope. The nausea of the
stomach disappeared, and by tiic
time I had taken the third the hard
lumps on my neck went away; the
ulcers were healed; my complexion
cleared up, my skin smoothed off,
and my strength began to return.
I have taken in all about thirty
bottles. It has made a new man
of me. lam a man of 63 years,
but am strong and vigorous, eat
anything and do any kind of work.
I am sound and well. It it my hon
est opinion that Swift’s Specific
has taken me from the grave’s
mouth and added many years to
my life. I would recommend it
to suffering humanity everywhere
not as a universal panacea for all
diseases, but as a specific for all
blood and skin diseases, such as
blood poison, rheumatism, scroffula,
eczema tetter and catarrh, for I
have seen it tried on most all of
tnese- lam ready and more than
willing to answer all inquiries ouch
ing the above points. I am well
known in Athene, and refer
to any one or all of the old citizens
of this city. Wiley F. Hood,
Jan. 5. 18S5. Athens Ga.
THE BEST IN THE MARKET.
I have been afflicted with a
blood humor and indigestion for
fifteen years. 1 have used various
medicines, but with little purpose.
I have received more benefit from
Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.) than any
thing else I have ever taken. It
is the best blood purifier on the
market. A. J. Brooks,
