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 avnl walk, els wise he would have fro g-w to and ath. 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 SUNDAY LEDGER. This is the name of anew paper to be published in Macon, every Sunday, bv E P Speer, formerly of theJOld Capital at Milledgrville, and Messrs. Seifert & Smith, job printers, Macon, Ga. COL. AV. T. THOMPSON FOR CONGRESS. The Telegraph & Messenger nomi nates Col. W. T. Thompson of the Sav annah News, as a candidate for Con gress to fill the unexpired term of Hon Julian Hartridgc, deceased. Resolutions of Respect for Hon. Julian Hartridgc. The following resolutions were adopted by the House Judiciary Com mittee, of which Mr. Hartridgc was a member, at a special meeting held im mediately after the adjournment of the House on W ednesday W hereas, Wo just heard with un speakable sorrow of tbe melancholy' and unexpected death of our esteemed colleague, Hon Juli m Hariridge, o Georgia ; therefore, a$ a slight testi monial of our high appreciation of the many virtues exemplified in his char acter, and as a token of our profound respei t for his memory. lb solved, That by the death of Mr. Tfarti idge this comm ttee has lust one uf its most,beloved and useful mem be.s, the House of Representatives one. of its most brilliant ornaments, the .State ot Georgia one of her must gifted and accomplished sons, ti e nation a distinguished citizen and a faithful pub lic servant, the comtnn iity in which he lived a generous neighbor, a faith ful friend and ap honorable gentleman. That to his bereaved family so suddenly ,d< piivxd of an af feciionate husband fattier, we tender our heartfelt sympathy and condolence, and direct that the Chairman transmit to them acupy of tlies ■ proc a-dings. 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 stamp has been h Id at the office at which the letter was m bled. The post master of the office has then wiitten to the individual addressed saying that such a letter has been livid in that ol ticv for him, postage not having been prepaid. [Tne new stamp which has; just been ordered iii.Jer the pew regu lation, is put on a letter m*t prep aid and sent to.the p istinastei’ at the offiee of destination, who is charged,wiih the amount due, and collects the same Irom the person addressed on the de livery uf the letter. When postag ■is due on letters delivered by caniers, either from not having been paid at a’l or only in part, anew stamp has ails > been ordered to be put on the letb r alter it passes into tbe hands of the carrier, who then becomes responsible for tne collection of the postage Th s new -tamp is intended as aeheck upon carr ers, who are thereby prevented from pocketing their coJections. The new system acts s me what eim 1r to the bell-punch fors;reet ear conduc tors Tne death of II m.Jul an Hartridge, says the Union & Ih.cqrder, i mates a vacancy in the jFbst District, l’he Governor wi 1 up dpubt issue a proc a ination promptly fpr an election The session is only for twp and a half months.

For the pist week we have had to move round J.vely and dance to the uneof ‘'wood up quick step." We run three fires, and it his taken back-lugs and front-logs, and top-logs and chips and chunks, and piue-knots, to keep the bairn comfort* able. A good big load a day about does it, ..nd I was thinking ii<w thankful we ougV to be that, had the wood all handy. I suppose a load of old cross ties would keep an average family ut poor folas from freezing f>r a day or two, but it is no l me now io bn pu upon t • m sort of rations—e-p rially • n a house with crack- big en.uign io throw a cat through. May the Loid have mercy on them. Wat oul! •yen poor folks have done if the Gee gia rad road hadnt thought about the cros - ics? When the tr-asur is<-mp ,ty and the weather so coid, you,' go and people cant get out to buy or beg a little luel for the poor, ns ab: eased tiling to l ave old cross-ties so conv n ient. 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. Pir t Arf. The Hill and Murphy Trouble. I lie Savannah News sivs : Th ••ie seems to be great ,c n> eru in Wa sliington i regard to ffi.ieal af #atr i Georgia. We scjavvly open a Northern or Western exchange, thai does not contain an “interview” or a W ashington letter in which allusion is made to the Hill-Murphy embroglio, with fea> Ini forebodings of direful con sequences to the Democritic party in Georgia. 'lhe.se tears are doubsl *ss inspired br pure y pm ties but we cannot share their apprehen sions. The controversy about the fee in the Northeastern Railroad bond ca-e iias nothing to do with Georgia poli • t c-j, and there is no reason why n should be permits and to disturb the h r tnony of tie* Democratic party N>- ihei Hid nor Mur mv me tie soi v o men to get up anode r‘‘war of tm ros” T e Demo r>cy has no pai t in their quarrel, and if they were to make a Kilkenny cat fight oi i:, D in ocrutic principles and tne Democratic b.rty would survive in Georgia. [ln addition to the above the M icon Telegraph adds :] The irate Senator has renewed lbs onslaught agiin upjn the Governor and Murp’iv in an a hiress to the pe< pi • which o. copies four columns <>f tne Cos istiti.tion It is very bitter, arro gant and vindictive. Mr. Hill’s w rds would probably cany move weight it tnat SB,OOO fee be failed to get was not mixed up in the* transaction. We de plore the whole affair, which is a rich nut fur our Radical enemies to crack when considered in any light. We have an abounding confidence in the Governor, but prop >se to let the peo** pic's representatives dec do whether ther special com nit tee have acted right in the rep >rt or not. 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 in Cultivation for Forty Years. We clip the following from the Haw. ktnsville Dispatch : It is generally assorted and believed as well, that the lai.ds of this section are easily worn out and b e-me value less after a tew years cultivation, but the-e are to-day thousands of acres of such land producing go and crops. Mr- Joseph B. Dykes, sou of B. B. Dykes of Pulaski, made last year 414 bushels of corn upon ten acres of land that was cleared and cultivated over forty years ago. Tnis is an average of over forty-'tile bushels to tin; acre. He also made ten bales of cotton upon thirteen acres, and he did it all with one horse Of course tiie land was enriched by t o ne-iaised manun s, but it proves toe capacity of the s-ii ot this section when prop* rly cultivated and fertil ized. I* we had fifty thousand to-day to invest, we would put it into tin lands of this seetii.il, taking a portion of it with timber, of c mrse. Th widow i>f Gn. Raise Wrig t rec n y married Mr. F.K.

There is no doctor liviugin Irwin ouuty, and no liquor wold within the co ;iity limits, and that is probably why * >me men live there a hundred years The sal .ry of the Gainesville post master Geo. Loagstret t, is a year—i com drtable httie sum these economical days. There is a rumor that Hon 0. P. Fitzsimmons h s been, or is soon to be r* m <ved from the U.

When released the animal was as spry as ever. The Constitution states that the number of interments in Atlanta for the year 1878 was eight hundred and niuet' Cn, of whom there were 377 pau pers, 322 ol whom were negroes, and 55 whites. The Henry County News states that the farmers of that county are making their arrangements for the year—em ploying etc. From S6O to $75 per a*.unm is the average sum paid lor good farm hands. Ihe Savannah News announces the death of Thomas Smythe Wayne,Esq., a very prominent and agedcitizen who had filled many offices of trust in that city. Last week seems to have been u week of fires in Georgia, as well mb elsewhere. Columbus ha la SIOO,OOO lire, liu lodge on Hie Ga. R. R., had an SB,OOO fire, and Decatur a $2,000 fire. Charleston had $1,000,000 fire, Chicago a fire, ad other places suffer ed considerably. Tin* Macon Telegraph savs : On the Central 1 abroad at Toombs boro, the store of Mrs. R G. Hyman was, a few nights since, found broken open. Nothing was missed, an 1 the cash drawer was secure. Near by tin out house was also bro ken into, and a drugstore near by bad been burglarized. In the last house a white woman was found. Sue was arrested ands dd she was from Laurens county. Jacksonville, Fla.. J in. 13.— A se ven* shock<>f earthtjinike was leit her* a .out 11:46 lust night, which lusted about thirty seconds, and appeared to move from the-southeast to the north west. Buildings were violently shaken, crockery rattled and doors thrown op*-n. The shock was felt at St. Au gustin** and down tiie Gulf c >ast from Punta Rasa to St. Marks # as well as over the interior portion of the State. Nothing of the kin! was ever experi enced here before. The proprietor of the Atlanta Plan ter Grange, ou Monday of last week had his pocket picked ot about one hundred *nd twenty-five dollars. Allud ing to the same he says : ‘lt is not the loss of the money we mind—oh, no ! not that, but it is the irregularity of the thing that gives us pam. In the fit st place it was a little irregular loi ns to have had the money, and second, to have lost it alter we had a hold, was horribly irregular. We would rather have lost that money betting on ad >g light ; that would have given us at least the cons dati >n of a chance. We think we hear the h >wl of sympathy b um all the climaxes. We c ip the following from the Quit man R porter : Last Fr day night, little Annie, daughter of Dr. Sn<>w, alter d.s-obing h* rs‘*lf for bed, turned her back t< the fire for the purpose of warming it? when her gown took fire and in an in stant blazed over her bead. Her moth er, with great presence of mind, in stantly threw a blanket over her and smothered the flame. While she has been a severe suffbier from the burn— it hav ng bli.-t< red her entire back—it is believed , so we h am by her physi cian, that sin- has passed the crisis in her caß*, and will soon be we’l again. Little Annie is a gr at favorite with all who know her, and the entire com munity sympathize deeply with her anxious parents. The Americas Republican says : Abram Hal* 1 , am old negro man* aged about 69 year*, outlie plantation ol Mr. Morgan, in Dooly coutuy, ha* twenty-six children twenty two of whom are now livi ig. Abram is a faithful and hard worker Last year ho made seven bales of cotton two hundred and fifty bushels of c >rn and plentv of potatoes and meat to do him until tbe n xt crop is ready for use.— If some ot the young men o! b>th col ors had energy 1 ke this old man, the cry of hard times would be heard no more in the land, but p**ace and plenty and prosperity would gladden the eye on every side. The Columbus Tunes says : Dr. Leitner last w* ek performed a very skillful operation on the child of a man named Babbitt, living in the upper part of the c : ty, the cause of which was a little strange. The child, which is about eightee months old,had been fretful for some time and was evi dently in pain, but the parents could nor tell ( rom what, though from its ac tions they located it in the neck. The doctor being called iii found on exam** ination that there was somet ing im bedded in the fleshy part of tin* neck which he at once proceeded to expose, and took out a large needle, very rusty It had suppurated, but left t:o trace as to where it entered. Tno child is do ing wellj and the proud father now wears the needle in the lappel of his coat, blit when or how it came in the child's neck is still a mystery. Governor Bishop, of Ohio, recom mends in his annual message the cre ation of courts of arbitration and con ciliation, without cost to the State as a means of preventiig strikes. The Legislature is invited to enact laws for the punishment of gravo robberies, the protection of forests, etc. A gloomy report comes from Ger many of hard times, aggravated by the severity of the winter. The B- rl n correspondent of a London paper writes that despondency and bitterness pre vail. Ttie depression of industry and trade is worse than ever, so that the bankruptcy court lias <o enlarge its buildings ; the distress among the low er classes is extreme ; the papers tell heartrending stories about starving people; Hie clergy anti the poor law guardians appeal every day to the public fur contributions, in order to stave off the worst sufferings of the very poorest.
