THE CARROLL COUNTY TINI t
VOL. XIV.
The Confederate Soldiers.
There is no character in history
that we honor more than the Con
federate soldier. He is an illustra
tion of valor and heroism unsur
passed, he is the representative of
a gallant people and a heroic pe
riod. No eulogy of him can be
fulsome; no praise will ho greater
than he deserves.
At a reunion of the Army of
Northern Virginia, held in Rich
mond, on the 22nd mst. an address
was delivered, by one of Lee’s
bravest lieutenants, Gen. D. H.
Hill. The address was a nobl* pro*
duction, whidh wo would like to
publish in full if we had space.—
We have room for only one extract,
which wc cordially commend to all
who honor “the men who wore the
gray.”
General Hill concluded as fol
lows:
“And what shall bo said of
those unselfish patriots who were
true to their colors to the last,when
the ravages of armies had desolated
their countiy and the torches of
bummers had left blackened chim
neys as monuments over the buried
treasures of a husband’s and fath
er’s love? How can we sufficiently
honor these men who, knowing
that their families, without shelter
were starving to death, or were liv
ing on the offal of the onemvs
camps—who knowing even this,
yet still answered to the roll-call,
still filled their places in the ranks,
yet still faced death again, and
again putting duty tn countiy
above duty to wife and children!
Aye, how many of them poured
out their hearts’ blood in that last
despairing struggle, leaving those
they loved more than life to the
cold charities of a forgetful world.
Hard must be the heart of that foe
man which docs not warm with a
generous glow at this simple tale
of divide devotion to principle.—
And bow should this story affect
us, their comrades in da iger and
partners in the same buoyant hopes
and the same deep despair? May
njy arm be palsied by my side
when it ceases to hold up the ban
ner inscribed all over with their
glorious deeds. May my tongue
cleave to the roof of my mouth
when it ceases to pronounce the
praise of such matchless courage,
unrivaled fortitude and unselfish
patriotism. God bless the privates
in the ranks now and forevermore!
[Great applause.]
“Having an unwavering faith in
the wisdom, justice and mercy of
God, 1 bow with adoring reverence
to His decree which destroyed our
hopes of Southern independence. —
1 would not reverse His decree if I
could do so; that would be wicked
and presumptuous. All honorable
Confederates render true allegiance
to the obligations imposed upon
them by the surrender. I believe
that the most uncompromising reb
els—yea, the bitterst rebels, if you
choose to call them so —would be
the very first to rally round the
old flag in any just and honorable
war. They have expressed the
sincerest sympathy with the suffer
ings and misfortunes of illustrious
foemen; they have rejoiced at the
successes of many of their last an
tagonists, and they have contribu
ted to those successes.
“But no generous conqueror
wishes the conquered to forget
old ties and their old loves. No
generous conqueror wishes us to
disparage the grand heroism and
the imparralleled constancy of the
Confederates in the ranks.
“No generous conqueror expects
us to underrate the ability of our
great leaders because they were de
feated, without taking into consid
eration that their defeat was due to
ibicr being overwhelmed.
.Every school hoy knows of Ther
mopylae and Leonidas defeated and
fllwin. but who of you can tell the
name of the victorious Persian
commander of the Dori Paori, wno
attacked him in from? Who of
yon remembers the name of the
commander <»f the so-calhd “Im
mortal Band,” which, having gone
through a secret defile, attacked
them successfully in the rear? The
historian of the present looks only at
victory and defeat; the historian of
the past looks at all the surround
ings. But even now we of the
present, who have seen the great
movements of our wonderful lead
ers, can look at these sntroundings.
Every one with Southern blood in
his veins places in the front rank
of the wold’s great commanders the
two modest men who sleep so
quietly and so unostentatiously at
Lexington, Va. Every one with
Southern blood in his *eins cherish
es in his inmost soul the memory
of their great deeds as a precious
legacy to the land they lo v ed so
well.”
Remembered by One.
A man who had rested in the
county hospital for two years made
his appearnce on the streets one
day this week. The town was
strange to him and he to the town.
Old friends gazed at his bearded,
cadaverous face, but they knew
him not. He looked the old fami
liar bar-keeper in the eye, but the
barman silently mixe 1 his drink and
gave no sign of recognition. The
waiter at the restaurant where he
had dined for years set a plate be
fore him, but spoke no word of
greeting. Sadly the invalid lit his
cigar and wandered among faces
that were familiar to him, but
which had no smile of welcome
for the man rescued as it were
from death.
“Alas,” said he, “there is no one
in all this great city that, knows
me.”
Just then he felt a tap on the
shoulder, and a deep and not un
friendly voice whispered in his ea*:
“Don’t you tink is vash time dot
leetle bill vas settled?”
was his tailor—his tailor who
first saw the light under the shad
ow of Mount Olivet. The lost one
grasped him by the hand and led
him to the nearest saloon. Such
is life, my brethren. The friend
of thy bosom may in a few years
forget’thee, but thy creditors, nev
er. Oh, man, if you would retain
a placejn the affections *mf your
kind, if yon would build for your
self a mourner)t in the human heart
buy something, buy everything,
and—have it put down to the old
account.—Ex.
The Press.
The printing 7 press! has made
Presidenuts, killed poets, furnished
bustles for beauty, and polished
genius with the sandpaper of criti
cism. It has made the world get
up at roll-call every morning, giv
en the pulpit lungs of iron and a
voice of steam It has set the price
on a bushel of wheat, and made
the country post oflice the glimmer
ing goal of the rural scribe. It
has curtailed kingly power, embel
lished the pantry shelves, and
bnrsted rings; it has exposed
frauds and brought criminals to
punishment; it ‘has furnished the
whole female race with dress-pat
terns; it has converted bankers
into paupers and made wood-saw
yers of college Presidents. It has
built school houses, educated the
homeless lads, and robbed the
philosopher of his reason; it smiles
and kicks and ciies and dies—but
it can’t be run to suit everybody,
and the editor is a fool who tries it.
Raised, on the Farm.
“Born and raised ou the farm.”
A boy shouki thank God for being so
fortunate as to be born and raised
on the farm. There is no place on
this green earth so well adapted to
perfectly develop mind, muscle and
manhood as a farm; there a boy has
the purest air, the freshest and
healthiest food, plenty of restricted
exercise, the brightest sunshine,and
the soundest sleep —the very con
ditions nesessiry for the highest
development. Ninetenths of all
the men who have made their mark
in any bu iness purfession or pur*
suit have, been born and raised on
the farm, this is not so much lie
cause there is better blood on the
farm, but because the surroundings
of farm life are better calculated
to call out what there is in a boy.
and develop a full grown and
healthy, perfect, selGreliant
man.—Ex,
CARROLLTON. GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 20, 1885.
Restlessness of Old Age.
Those who have been much with
the aged have observed in them a
caaffing against the infirmities of
their years, which expresses itself
in icstlessness and a degire to
change. They grow weary at the
inactivity which has succeeded the
busy tine when they boro the heat
and burden of the day, and so,
sometimes they wander here and
there, dropping in to visit a friend,
or talking with a chance acquaint
ance, trying thus to while away the
tedious hours. In mistaken kind
ness and unkind affection, we often
oppress dear, aged people by our
very care. They dislike supervi
sion* The tender watchfulness
which to tis seems due to their
physical feebleness, as well as for a
fit return for their care for us in
earlier days, is by them resented as
restiaint* It annoys them. Then,
too, we try to take all the work out
of their hands, and that they don’t
like. Nobody who has been active
and useful enjoys the feeling of be
ing lain on the shelf.
Grandfather’s step is uncertain,
and his arm less vigorous than of
old; hut he possesses a rich treasure
of experience, and he likes to be
consulted. It is his privilege to
give advice; his privilege, too, at
times to go into the work with the
youngest, renewing his youth as he
keeps bravely up with the hearty
men not half his age.
Grandmother does not want to
be lett out of the household work.
When the days come around for
pickling and preserving, and the
domestic force is pressed into ser*
vice, who is so eager and full of in
terest as she? It is cruel to over
rule her decision, to put her aside
because “she will be tired.” Os
course she will be tired; but she
enjoys the fatigue, and rests the
sweeter for the thought that she is
still of some use in the world.
To those whose homes are hon
ored by the presence of an aged
parent we would say, deal very
gently with those who are on the
down-hill of life. Your own time is
corning to be where they are now.
You, too, arh“stepping westward.”
Soothe the restlessness of age by
amusement, by consideration, by
non-interference, and by allowing
plenty of occupation to fall into the
hands that long foi it. Only let it
be of their own choosing, and cease
to order them as if they were chil
dren. A hoary head at a fireside is
a crown of glory to the house in
which it dwells. The blessing of
the aged is as a dew on the pas
tures, as the falling of sunlight on a
shadowy place.—Ex.
A Good Investment
A genteel, but somewhat shabbily 1
man, called at the oflice of an Aus
tin banker, to whom he had r prev- 1
iously addressed a note.
“You say'yoif wish to talk with
me about an arrangement by which
I can make money?” asked the I
banker. j
“Yes, sir, that is the object of •
my visit.” (
“Well, proceed.” f
“I take it that you are a public- •
spirited man, and charitably dispos (
ed?” j
“Yes, moderately so.” .
“Well, I intend to commit sui* ,
cide and leave my family utterly (
destitute. Os course, a collection .
will be taken up for my surviving
family, and! you will be called on *
to subscribe. Yon cannot get out j
of it decently under twenty dollars.” ,
“Well” .
“No, I'll agree to postpone my ’
rash act indefinitely. I’ll compro- ■
miso the matter for two dollars. ’
That is only ten per cent, of what I
you would have to pay. All I ask J
if the ordinary commission. By .
this arrangment you make eighteen ]
dollars off hand, without investing ]
a cent.”
Country girl (addressing robust !
tramp)—Why don't you go to i
work? Tramp (looking hungrily (
around). —I would if I had the
tools. Country girl—What sort of
tools do yon want? Tramp—Knife
and fork.
The guest who comes late spoils
the dinner. 1
Drawing the Line.
It was a Nebraska jail, tavern,
> saloon, and real estate agency com
bined. The Sheriff came out to
welcome the travellers, and he
seemed to be a very nice sort of a
i man.
“Things isn’t just as I'd want
’em, you know,he apologetically
observed, ‘‘but this is a new country,
and we can’t have everything at
once. Make yourself right at
home while the old woman cooks
dinner.”
While waiting for the promised
meal one of the five or six men
lounging around the place entered
the room and asked the traveller
for a chew of tobacco.
“Jim, you masn’t do it—you
realy mustn’t,” said the landlord.
“I want to do what’s right and
fair, but I must draw the line some
where. Yon jailbirds must not try
to put yourselves on an equality
with the guests of'my hotel.”
“A jailbird, ciid yon say?” queri
ed the traveller Jim withdrew*
“Yes. He’s in for two months.
All that crowd oiit there are in jail.
“But where’s the jail?”
“Right here. Tain’t no silver
plated palace, I’ll admit, but it’s
the best the country can afford;”
“Where do you lock ’em up?”
“Nowhere. There isn’t a lock
on my door.” I
“But what prevents ’em ?fiom
running off?”
“Nothing in partickler. Reck
on they’ll all clear put as soon as
the grub gits poor and I begin to
water the whiskey.”
“And you won’t try to stop cm?”
“Oh, no. I’m willing to be
Sheriff and jailor, and I want to see
the county git along, but they
musn't put too many burdens on
me.”—N. Y. Sun.
A Crushed Scientist.
“You might as well own up that
you stole this woman’s things.— .
The silver spoons and the jewelry
were found in your pocket,” said
Judge Duffy, of New York, to a I
noted sneak thief.
“I know they were, but I was
not trying to steal them, Your
Honor.”
“What were you doing with the
jeweiry and other articles found in
your pocket?”
“You see, Judge, she is a
clairvoyant. I have always had
my doubts about those kind of peo
ple. 1 don’t believe in spiritual
ism and all that sort of thing, but
still I was willing to give the mat
ter a test, so .L just took those
thxiigs when sine wasn’t looking,
just to see if she- could tell by the
mystic art where to look for them.
I was working in tire interests of
science, Your Hono v .”
“For six months you will work I
in the interest of J ustice.” Siftings.
A Statue in Honor of Coffee.
A good deal of literature has
been inspired by coffee, but few
men of letters brave sung its praises,
and it seems to h.ave been reserved
to a Viennese coflcc home keeper
to erect the first statue in its honor.
Toward the end of the seventeenth
century one Kohcohitzky, who had
rendered good service to the be
sieged during the leaguer of Vien
na, opened the first coffee house
ever seen in the Austrian capital,
and now one of his own cloth has
put up a statue to commemorate
Kolschitzky’s two great services to
his fellow-citizens-. The statue,
which is sab 1 to be “a fine work of
art,” repn esents Kolschitzky in a
Turkish u niforra (the disguise he
adopted w' through the
Turkish 1’ .nes intelligence from the |
besieged to the Duke of Lorraine),
holding a cafetiere in his righthand
and acup in his left c At his feet
lies aba gos coffee. This realistic
piece of sculpture has just oeen un
veiled t .t the corner of the Kol
schizky strasse and the Favoriten*
strasse ,and been formally made ov
er to city; and, as the Viennese
loves his case noir with a perfect
affeeti on, there is much fitness in
the gi ft.—St. James’ Gazette-

! THE BIRTH OF AN ICEBERG.
! From the New York Sun
! The birth of a huge iceberg, a
phenomenon that has been seen
only once or twice by a European,
! and to a certain extent has remain
ed a matter of theory, was otserv
!ed by the Danish explorers on the
! east coast of Greenland. The bergs
| are formed by breaking off from
the end of glaciers extending from
the perpetual ice of the unexplored
interior to th ‘ coast and into the
sea. The water buoys up the sea I
end of the glacier until it breaks
by its own weight with a noise that
sounds like loud thqndcr miles
away. The cemmotk.n of the w*a*
ter, as the iceoerg turns over and
over i/> the effort to attain its bal
ance, is felt to a great distance
along the coast. The natives re
gard it as the work of evil spirits,
and believe that to look upon the
glacier in its throes is death. The
Danish officers when observing the
breaking off of the end of the great
Puissortok through their telescopes,
were roughly ordered by their Es
quimaux escort, usually submissive
enough, to follow their example
and turn their backs on the inter
esting scene. They’ had happily
completed their observations and
avoided an embarrassing conflict
with their crew by a seeming com
pliance with the order.
How a Wolf Died.
Eastman Times.
A gentlemen by the name of
Peterson had been losing a great
many hogs from theii range in a
swamp near Alligator creek, and
determined to learn the cause if
possible. One summer afternoon he
shouldered Lis trusty rifle and went
forth, reaching the swamp just be- •
fore sundown, and while perhaps
admiring the beauty of the sur
roundings, observed something mo
ving in the tall grass some distance,
flip the swamp. Seeing that the
object was coming towards him he
remained perfectly still. The wolf
(for such it proved to be) trotted
up to within fifty yards of Mr. Pe
terson and stopping commenced to
howl.
The long-hoped for opportunity
had presented itself. A polished
rifle barrel gleamed in the light of ,
the setting sun, a sharp report rang
out, and the wolf gave a loud, pit
eous moan and fell. Mr. Peterson
hurried forward, but before he I
could reach the spot the animal
had regained his equilibrium and ;
disappeared in the swamp.
Mr. Peterson went home and .
related to his neighbors what had ,
occurred, and the next morning a (
crowd surrounded the place where ,
the wolf was supposed to be con- ]
coaled. The dogs were sent in to ,
run liis wolfship out, but the result
was the wolf run the dogs out. —
Finally exposing itself, however, a
well directed shot from one of the ]
party sent it to that country where j
there are no sheep, hogs or cattle t
to devour. ,
“After the death of this wolf,”
continued Judge Mcßae, “the oth
er is supposed to have left for j
pwrts unknown, as it was never (
seen again.” .
A Washington correspondent
has picked up a bit of interesting
information regarding cigarette- (
smoking. It appears that a great (
many boys are applying to be ap
prenticed to the navy, and, accord,
ing to Major Histon, the com
mander of the'marine barracks at
Washington, the first question
asked when they come up for ex*
amination is whether they
smoke. They usually answer in
the negative. The thumb and
forefinger of the right hand are ;
then examined, and in a majority
of cases arc stained yellow from
cigarettes. As soon as this tell
tale mark is discovered the boy is
examined bv a surgeon for evidence
of heart dieasc, and the result is one
fifth of all the boys who apply are
rejected on account of cigarette
smoking.
Never pick your teeth at the
the table.

Immo. He strayed* in ih r ■
enough to syend ali bis y, ex
cept sufficient to pay his fare Lome.
He traveled bv train to Briuo.—
the rail only went as fat then.* He
went on board the vessel to < ury
him home, and thought w! cq jie
hhd paid the money tor
that that included all. He was vc r y
hungry, and ordered his men’s tLut

AF tlie end of bis journey, t dap
per little steward v ith a gold baud
round his cap, came, to him a d
presented his bill. Ho told nim Up

“you should not have ordered the |
things you did.” He asked him
his name. He told him. Hol took (
him by the hand, stmt up his book,
and said, “I never thought I shopld
live to see you.”
Then he told him how when be
bad lost his father, his mother was
in great distress, and the lad's fath
er had been so kind to her that he
made a solemn proipise, that if he
ever had opportunity, he would
show kindness to one of his; so he
took charge of him, paid his bill,
gave him five shiliings, and put
him in a boat with some sailors,
who rowed him in line style to..the
shore. His father met him, and
he said 1
“Father its a good thing to have
a good father;” and he told Lim
what had taken place.
“My lad,” said he, “I passed Lli,e.
kindness to him long ago, in dping
what I did, and now he has passed
-it on to you* Mind, as you grow
up, you pass it ou to others.”
“Well, one day he was going by
train and intended to take a first
ciass ticket, as he had a deal of,
writing to du in in the train, when
he saw a lad at the third class tick
et office, rubbing his eyes to keep
down the the tears. He asked him
what his trouble was, and the lad
told him he had not enough money
for his fare by fourpeuce and he
wanted so to go, his friends were
expecting him. He gave him a
shilling, and the lad went, got his
ticket and brought him the change.
He told him to keep it, and said
he was going to ride with him.
Then in the carriage, he told the
lad the story of how he was treated
in tho boat.
“And now,” he said, “I want
you, if ever you have she opportu
nity, to pass it un to others.” He
got out at the junction, and as the
train left the staiion, the lad waved
his handkerchief and said, “I whl
pass it on.”—Christian Index.
A Real
We presume there is hardly a
lady to be found in our land, who,
if she docs not already possess a
sewing machine, expects some day
to become the owner of one.
But after the mind has ful
y made up to purciiase one of
these indispensable articles, the
question arises as to what kind of
a machine to buy.
It should be so simply construc
ted that the most inexperienced
can succes t xuily operate it. The
other points mainly to be .consid
ered, and which are the most desi
rable, are durability, rapidity, ca
pacity for work, ease of opefatipn,
regularity of motion, uniformity of
tension, and silence while in opera
tion.
The “Light-Running New
Home” tills the above requue
ments, and is said to combine the
good points of all sewing machines
with the addition of many new im-’
provements and labor-saving devi
ces.
The price is no higher than, that
of other machines. every lady,
who is the happy possessor of pne
may rest assured she pis indeed a
treasure. See advertisement.

tion.
