THE EASTMAN TIMES.
M. L. BURCH, Editor & Proprietor
THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 1879.
QUA NOS*.
The KP;*sori <>f tlic year Ims again
lulled around when the matter of the
purchase of giiau s is being agitated
by our fannem The advance in the
prre in consequence of the iow p ice
of cotton by some o' the manufacturers
is one of serious consideration. Our
.farmers say it costs them just as much
{to ra ikt* cotton at seven or eight cents
as it docs to make it at ten or eleven
cents, and some of them, at least, don't
feel.disposed to submit to this advance
the put of manufacturers, oven
though they should be forced to do
without the guano.
,It is yet a mooted question on our
mind whether or not commercial fer
tilizers have been a curse or a bh ssing
as a whole. But be that as it may, we
say it takes a heavy per cent of the
cotton crop every year to pay guano
notes, nnd everybody knows they must
bo paid if everything else,is neglected}
tven to the bills tv r bread and meat. —
Though we don’t blame guano men for
wanting pay for their fertilizers —it is
light and just, and we are glad our
farmers pay them. But there are ob
jections urged c rtairdy with consid
erable force, against a too fiee use of
commercial manures. Sometimes our
fanners plant too much cotton, and
ncgleot .the grain crop, in order to
ra'se enough to pay guano notes. —
Sometimes they plant their crop and
fertilize it well and “noon it” too long
during the hot weather in June, think*
jug their guano will make it all right
anyway, nnd the grass comes along
and sweeps deck with guano and
cotton too. But it leaves the notes
they gave for it, with the lien or mort
gage sab ly deposited in some hank,
awaiting maturity. lienee we advise
rOUi* readers to be cautious how they
handle it. They risk all—the seasons,
the caterpillars, the uncertainty of farm
labor,the rust, price .of cotfon, etc.
DEATH OF HON. JULIAN
HARTRIDGK.
•This distingdshed Georgian died at
his ipost ip Washington City on Tues
day, the &th instant, from an attack of
pneumonia.
Mr. Hart ridge lias rept seated his
(the Ist) in Congress with abil
ity apd great credit to himself. And
though comparatively a young man he
enjoyed the enviable position of a na
tional reputation as a jurist and states
man. HiSfterm of office would have
expired on the 4th of March next. He
was strongly urged to again consent to
,thc use of his name in connection wjth
Congressional honors at the last elccs
tion, tut this lie positively declined,
preferring to return to the shades of
private iife and devote his 'time and
attention to his profession.
Hi s remains were forwarded to Sav- I
nnnah, the home of Mr. Hartridgc, un
der escort of a Congressional comrnit
itee, arriving there on Saturday last,
and conveyed to the Council Chamber,
where they lay in state till Sunday 12
o’clock, when the last sad tribute ol
respect was raid to the memory of the
dtceasgil.
Mr. A. W. House, of the Telegraph
& Messenger, in writing to that paper
<£rom Washington City, under date of
the 9th inst., says :
“The last of earth for Julian Har.
t idge, one of Georgia's brightest jew
els, oame yesterday morning at half
past six o'clock. In the full mondial)
of his mental and physical powers,with
a golden past behind him, and a future
.fuller even pf fame, his sun has set
while it was yet noon. As I write,the
last official honors are being pai l his
tptgnory by a Congress which holds
few intellects superior to Ins, and few
er still to which has been given the
gifts and graces of a chaste yet glow
ing and impressive oratory. Both as
member of the House and of the com**
.initteeon the judiciary he had jmade
an exceptionally strong and honorable
impress upon his associates and upon
legislation, and his deafh has been re*,
.ceived with universal and strongly ex
pressed regret. I hear it on all sides
and I know it is genuine/
The Coyingfun Enterprise says that
a white man .by the name of Cooper
came near freezing to death a fewnights
ainee ab ut three miles from town. It
appears 4h it the young man.was r d
iiig g h<u*sc, and .became so qpld ithat
4te .could not ride, turned his horse
loose and laid down in-the corner of a
fence to await .the eoupng of a party cf
hunters. He went to sleep and his
limbs .were frozen. -Even the flesh
his legs were ready to drop from
their bones. -But his faithful dog, ly?
ing beside hrm, seemed to take
in the horrible situation of his master
and making his tied upon the legs of
the* fiozen man, waijmed him to lift*
again. It was by the heat of tins dog
,t'iat Mr. Cooper was enab’ed to get up

PAY AS YOU GO.
How often do we hear the remark,
* Debt is a hard master;’ and yet how
recklessly we oftentimes place ourselves
within its clutches. To .mortg ig.* our
homes and contract debts ,i,s more ea
sily done than to redeem. The .credi
system lias reduced many from a.ffiu
*nce to abject poverty, and we .fear
the tidal wave is nut p t<sed. It offers
so many' inducements to buy anie e
of food and clothing which we might
well afford to do without ; and, indeed,
if only things are bought which are
absolutely needed, ii is oftentimes at
a ruinous rate of interest. Cotton is
fearfully low, and no prospects of bet
ter prices next fall. Then we say the
best " ay, and certainly the only per
f'ctly safe way, to make bo.h ends
meet is “pay as you go.*' Live wi hin
your means, trade sp 'ririgly, and spend
y<mr money to the host advantage.—
Economize all you can, keep out of
debt and you will be surprised to see
bow easily you have lived, and at such
a s nail outlay. Think of the try ing
times of the last few years of the war
itnd profit by your experience then
Pay as you go and tiu-re will be no
necessity for worrying yours'dl into
sleeplessness, inquiring ‘h wan Ito
pay this or that ?“ or it-may be -“now
am I 1 1 raise tbe mortgage from the
home of my wife and little ones ?“ Try
this plan through the year .1879 and
see its glorious results when you re
view the subject at the close of the
year.

The New Postage Stamp.
The Post Office Department has or
dered anew postage stamp to b e used
on letters not prepaid. Heretofore a
letter b( ing posted and wanting a

master of the office has then wiitten
to the individual addressed saying that
such a letter has been livid in that ol

We st ,11 live. For the pist week
we have had to move round J.vely and

Wh le readin your account of tie i
desolation and distres- 1 c >uld not
help ruminating over th liberality ol
our people to Memphis, New Orleans
and Vicksburg, and how I had known
folks to strain their guns shouting at
long range arid overl iok the game near
to cm. I‘ve known good people to
send clothes to the heathen at Brama
pootra when there was plenty of chil
dren going about barefooted and rag
ged and cold in the suburbs of their
own town. School-girls and their
mothers too, weep tears of s\m athy
over a thrilling novel which seems to
prove that what we read makes m re
impression on us than what we see.—
Just so with a touching picture upon
the canvass ora tender scene well ac
ted in the play, and Tom Hood’s song
of the shirt is said to have excited
more charity in London than the press
and the pulpit, and all the benevolent
societies put together.
Well, of course them pom - folks who
arc lazy and trifling ought to suffer a
little, and I reckon ihats excuse suffi
cient for most everybody who wants
one, but one thing is certain, helpless
women and children aint agoin to froze
to death in the name of the Lord in
this country. Sorn body else will be
held responsible for it, shorn
A good log fire is about the b st
thing to keep a man warm these icy
days that I know of, though Dr. Kane,
who roosted awhile m sight of the
north pole, says it aint—that fat meat
and girease and fclubb r are better, and
he had to stuff down ten pounds of jt
every day to keep his blood circulat
ing.
There is a heap of comfort in peroo
sin his hook these wintry nights, and
reading about z<to being a pleasant
state of the atmosphere —a sort of In
dian summer Compared wi;h the gen~
cral tempt-ratuie. My fri- nd Dwin
*ll says a man can stand any amount
of co'd wcattiei if hed fix him--elf for
it, and brace b:s resolution up agin it.
Its inlc'csti i to bear him tell about
livin away up in Maine some forty or
fifty years ago (I forget which he said)
"hen he was a boy and how the house
used to crack, crack, crack all night,
and shrink up and one hextraordicary
spell it shrunk off the pillais, and the
rooms got so small the furniture was
all jarnd up together—and how they
set up and eat all tygUt, and went to
prayer as the sun rose, which was a l
that saved em, and how a man’s breath
froze into ic eles and stuck out sharp
apd straight a foot or two, and some
times folks got hurt running into one
another in the dark, and how one ter*
rible night, when the mercury went
out of sight and wouldn’t register, a
house got on fire, and nobody Jared
to go to it, arid next morning the house
was gone but the flames were there
stickin up fifty feet and frozen into red
ice—and how they couldnt keep mules
in Maine, for their ears froze ofl so you
couldnt ted em from horses, and when
t ey brayed at 40 degrees below zero
the bray turned into ice, shot and
broke window-glass worse than hail
stones —and how, in the fill of the
ycay whiskey ovas poured into shallow
pans to freeze and then cut up and re
tailed all wi.ntcr by the square inch, as
chewing gum —and how one bitter day
a likely lad got frozen through and
through as he was going to*school,and
they got him tun wed all but Ins heart
and they couldn’t reach that, an i its
Irozen yet,and he couldn’t refrain from
•ailing his name, which is that same
Jim Blaine, from the cold Stale of
Maine, who is sad to contain nary
blood in his vein, and tics serves to ex
plain why he gets so insane at a little
blood s'a non a rebel shirt.
Well, I doiit blame Melrd e for de
parting from those iqch rn< nt coasts,
and socking a clime more congenial to
Ids feeling-. If he left any more of his
soit b hind him, they jtoo can find a
cordial welcome in the sunny south, for
he made a good citizen in peace, and
a go >d solder ip war, uni if there’s
anything higher J do ’t know it. May
he and h s family—wlien he gets one
—live long and prosper.

with fea> Ini forebodings of direful con
sequences to the Democritic party in
Georgia. 'lhe.se tears are doubsl *ss

New York’s New Capitol a
Failure.
After spending nine and hal f m llions
of dollars on anew capitul bu Id ing at
Albany, sys the New York Sun, New
Yorkers have just discovered to their
sorrow, first, that the architect forgot
to make any provision for carrying off
the rainfall on the roof, and second,
that the leg slalive chambers are
won bless so far as acoustics are con
cerned. When the Senat" met in its
new chamber on New Year's day mem
bers found it Impossible to hear what
was sail at a cl.stance of twenty feet
from the speakei, and the fear was ex
pressed that they never would he able
to trai sact any bus ness there. As is
often th* cise where public buildings
are erected without careful supervi-i m,
everything seems to have been sacri
ficed to snow, and extravagance has
even gone so tar in this as lo defice
carved stme wjth paint. It is p ssitde
that New York rs will get tired after
awhile of seeing their money squander
ed in th s fashion.
Famine in Brazil.
Mr. Herbert H. S midi, wi o [is now
in Brazil, col'eeting material lor a se
l ies of papers on that interesting em
pire, writes as follows:
“People m the United Slates know
but little about this great famine that
is raging in the northeastern part <f
Brazil ; I myself bad no id* a of its im
portance uiiljl very lately. It is suffi
cient to state that it affects at least
one-fourth of the whole p >pulati >n of
the emp re • that hundreds are dying
of starvation, and thousands of disease
incident to exposure and insufficient
food.. Jn the city of ,(>ura, which w ill
be my principal point of study, the
normal population of 30,000 has been
swelled to 80,000 by fugitives from
the drought-smitten interior country ;
and among this 80,000, the death rate
has reached the enormous figure ol 300
per day. Tfiese drouths are periodical,
occurring once in twenty or tliiity
years..
Making Corn and Cotton on £>and

We clip the following from the Haw.

It is generally assorted and believed
as well, that the lai.ds of this section

less after a tew years cultivation, but
the-e are to-day thousands of acres of

Joseph B. Dykes, sou of B. B. Dykes

of corn upon ten acres of land that
was cleared and cultivated over forty

forty-'tile bushels to tin; acre. He also
made ten bales of cotton upon thirteen
acres, and he did it all with one horse
