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- Wi Bows are weak, yet they bind ] other • wood. ! 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.

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.
