| PATRONIZE HOME TRADE AND IN.
DUSTRY.
A well known journal remarks
that no city or town can be perma
nently prosperous in which the eciti
}zens and tradesmen dependent upon
each other, do not patronize each
other. The merchant wants a set of
harness, and he imagines he can save
fifty cents by sending to another town
or state for his harness. The har
ness-maker sends away for his gro
ceries, boots, shoes and clothing.
The shoemaker sends for his coat,
and the tailor for his hoots, and o it
goes. As a result, the farmers, com
ing to town to trade, see all the
tradesmen seuding to other towns be-
| cause they can save money by so do
’ing, come to the conclusion that they
{ cando better elsewhere. No wonder !
{ The business men themselves turn
, the tide of trade elsewhere, for if
they can supply themselves to better|
f?dvantage py <.ie§n'iving§r their neigh- |
; bors of their trade, others lcarncto
try the same experiment. Even if a
' trifle can be saved in the purchase of
!a barness, a pair of boots a suit of
' cloths, a hat, a barrel of flour or a
| yard of calico, ten dollars is lost
‘; \v.'lwrc one is saved and then the en
tire business of the place goes to de
cay. Show usa town in which the
people make it a rule not to send
away for anything they can get at
h0.1.?e1.fiy.;1, ‘uvfiuwtpadéflfiltcring from
abroad. Prices are low and trades
men patronize each other, having no
suspicion that confidence will be
abused. Let it once be understood
that the business men of any town
are in the habit of sending abroad
for their purchases and the business
of the town wiil languish. Having
no confidence in each other, how can
they expectothers to have confidence
in them ? Patronize each other and
keep all your business at home.
TURNING SOUTHWARD. I
Touching invitations for farmers to
visit localities, Dr. Eastabrook writes :
“It would be well for committees
from the many points that want to
entertain visitors to be in Atlanta
February sth. They can there meet
the excursionists, talk things over
and arrange small excursions. One
thing is certain, hundreds of Ohio
farmers will be in Atlanta on Febru
ary sHth, wanting to prospect for a
home in (eorgia.
Mr. 8. W. Goode, the well-known
real estate man of Atlanta, says: “A
great many sales will result from
these excursions. 1 have orders for
five farms near Cartersville, and a
request to have ready a tract on
‘which fifty families of Dunkards can
find rcom. The talk of the Ohioans
has turned Pennsylvanians’ eyes this
' way, and Mr. J. J. Springer is organ
izing an excursion of farmers from
Lancaster county which promises to
\be larger than the Ohio crowd.”
| Lancaster county is, according to
‘the census, the richest county in
| America. Lands average $2OO an
‘acre, and the farms are very small.
Many of the farmers are looking for
' cheaper lands that they can bring up
' to a high state of fertility, good wa
| ter, good society and a good climate.
CAll this they will find in Georgia.
' Mr. Springer thinks he can bring
| 500 on his first excursion. Between
| Ohio and Pennsylvania, we certainly
| ought to catch a hundred or so good
| farmers.
It is an old legal maxim that “a
corporation has no soul, and hence
cannot be excommunicated,” but
thousands of representatives of cor
porations in this country have been
conspicuous for deeds of charity.
Some rather hard charges, however,
have recemtly been made against the
Pullman Car Company. It is said
that it charges the Chicago Presbyte
ry for rent of the church in Pullman
$1,200 per year, besides 3186 for
steam heating. It is said that the
little church at that place is about to
give up the struggle for existence,
the paster having become involved
in debt for the necessaries of life.
Not where the best laws have been
enacted, but where the laws are
most faithfully executed, is crime
most eftectually repressed. There is
no surer mean of demoralizing a com
munity than to pass wholesome laws
and then to have them trampled un
‘der foot. An upright magistrate is
l the one indispensible factor in a
peaceful and prosperous society.—
Christian Index. |
. There is a great deal of truth com-
E passed in the¢ above few lines. A
| great deal has been said and written
| relative to enacting laws to prevent
| crime. If the existing eriminal laws
! of Georgia were properly and prompt
ly executed, crime in the state would
igrmtly diminish.—Forsyth Adgertis
er.
MISSING PEOPLE.
All newspaper readers remember
how the whole country was thrown
into a protracted fever of excitement
by the news of the abduction of Char
ley Rossat Philadelphia several years
ago. Charley was the son of a promi
nent merchant who spent a moderate
fortune in search of his child, and
had the assistance and sympathy of
nearly every official, detective and
newspaper in the United States.
Last year over 600 persons were re- I
ported to the police as missing from |
‘their homes in Philadelphia. Of
these, 56 were young girls and 74
boys, between the ages of 12 and 21
years. Many of these were never
heard of again, and no particular fuss
was made about them outside of the
limited cireles in which they moved.
It is impossible to estimate even how
many of them have gone to the bad,
or been drowned or killed by accident l
or otherwise.
A SLEEK SCOUNDREL.
An Omaha, Neb., special says: A
sleek-looking young man arrived in
Omaha last night on one of the trains
from lowa. As he stepped on the
platform of the depot Sheriff Gor
man, of Wayne county, Indiana, step
ped up and placed him under arrest.
The man was Greorge Washington
Harry Claiveo.Renbridr, wita ¢iaimed
to have a knowledge of law. Ie
went into the best society ofthe town,
and in the course of time gained the
affection of Miss Nettie Dorsey, a
near relative ot Congressman Dorsey.
In Juane he left to visit his old home
in Indiana, but instead of paying a
friendly visit, forged a check on his
mother for 600, and stole a span of
horses from a livery man in Richmond.
The authorities have since been on
his track, and finally traced him to
North Bend. Before the ouicer ar
rived, he had married Miss Dorsey

DYING OF HYDROPHOBIA. ‘
The six-year old son of Seward
Applegate, a well-to-do - farmer, liv-|
ing near Spotswood, New Jersey, was 3
a weakly little fellow with a great!
fondness for dogs. On Dec. 24th he |
was playing in the public road in‘
front of his father’s house, when a!
white hound came loping down thci
road toward him. The hound’s mouth |
was open, and his tongue was lolling |
out. The little fellow stood watching |
him admiringly, until the dog, with at
growl, sprang at him and Dbit his|
cheek. It then ran on. The wound |
was dressed by the boy's parents,
and in a few days it healed. .
~ On last Thursday the boy com
plained of thirst. Water was prof
fered him. At the sight ot it he
shuddered, and a few minutes later
he was attacked with convulsions.i
Dr. Van Randt ot Jamesburg treated |
the child for hydrophobia, but in
spite of his efforts convulsion suc
ceeded convulsion. The child made
strange noises in his throat, and froth
appeared in his mouth. e also bit
himself very severely on his arms
several times. At times two men
were hardly able to hold him. He
was worse on Friday, and struggled
fiercely to escape from imaginary
dogs, which he said were trying to
bite him. All day on Saturday he
suftered. Early on Sunday morning
he seemed to rally. Ie called for
water, but at sicht of it he was at
tacked with convulsions again. One
convulsion rapidly succeeded anoth
er, until he died in agony.—[New

STOLE A HOUSE.
A Robbery That Is Perhaps Without a
Parallel,
’ A Louisville special says: Prob
ably the most remarkable robbery on
record inany country was reported
at the mayor’s office Yesterday by
Mrs. Ross, a well-to-do lady, aged,
perhaps, fifty years, who Kved in the
country about six miles from the city.
The story she tells sounds more like a
nonsensical mambling of a lunatie
than the revelation of a sane Person,
‘but it is true in every particular.
- Mrs. Ross said she is the owner of
a lot on the corner of Fifteenth and
Prentice streets, in the west end of
the city, on which in April last there
was a substantial brick house contain
ing eight roows. During that month
the tenant occupying the house was
ejected for nonpayment of rent, and
the house was notagain rented. Mrs.
Ross’s health not being very good,
a 5 M A 2 . - o
Fhe does not visit the city often, and
In consequence could not pay much
attention, personally, to her property.
IShe went to look atitin re
! gard to
’some repairs on the Ist of March,
| w'hen everything was in good order.
mece' then she has not visited the
Premises until yesterday morning.
]l his visit was made in somewhat of a
et TR T not
understand what he was driving at,
when he explained that there were
about one thousand old brick scatter
ed over the lot, which had evidently
been lett when the house was torn
down. Alarmed at the man’s state
ment, Mrs. Ross came to the city,
and to her consternation discovered
that her house had vanished com
pletely, only a small pile of brick re
maining to show where it had stood.
The building had been carried away,
brick by brick, until almost tke last
vestige was gone.
The most remarkable part of the
story is that no one has been seen
working about the premises at any
time, and no wagon or cart had been
noticed hauling anything therefrom
by the neighbors. The work of raz
ing the building must have been
done at night and the material car
ried away by hand. To make the
work of spoliation complete, Mrs.
Ross says a frame house on the back
part of the lot has been moved across
an alley to a vacant commons, and is
now occupied by a family who eclaim
it as their own.
Bank safes have been stolen and
and carted away, but this is the first
instance on record in which a two
story brick house has turned up mys
terionsly missing.

DURATION OF LOVE IN MEN AND WO
MEN.
Somebody who didn’t spend all his
time sitting around the house growl
ing at flies and raising blue chaos
whenever dinner wasn’t ready to the
minute, has placed the opinion on re
cord that with a woman love is an ab
solute reality, while with a man it is
little more than the commonest kind
of side show.
When you behold a damsel with
eyes like those of a damaged macker
el, whose nose is blue at the tip and
sharp-pointed from much weeping,
shuffling around the house in an old
dress that makes a man feel like flee
ing to the mountains, you can salt it
down for a certainty that she wants
to marry a man too worthless to make
good fish bait. Some night when
’ least expected, she will skip out by
‘the light of the moon to escape with
the scalawag, leaving more love in
} the home trom which she steals away
‘than she will ever find in his bosom,
! and from that time on she is to com
‘mand under all circumstances, no
‘matter whether he steals a horse or
goes to Congress, and so long as he
g treats her half white, nothing but the
%discovery that he has got mashed on
some other woman can ever change
her feelings towards him.
A man falls in love the same as a
mute goes down with a sinking bridge.
Simply because he can’t help it, but
it seldom does him any permanent
injury. The shape of a nose, the
'sweep of an eye or the wave of a
“curl trips him up and settles his hash
“without an instant of warning, and
there he is, the bluest kind of a cap
tive, until marriage or some new fas
| cination breaks the charm that binds
him. He is pretty sure to love like a
burning brush heap while he is about
it, but the trouble is, his flame lis too
ardent to be durable. He will swear
to a blue-eyed sprite that he loves
her tor all eternity, and within three
months after marriage will go to
howling about the cooking, and make
her life a purgatory without a streak
of light. If she breaks down and
' dies of disconragement, as not infre
' quently happens, he will slide up to
'some other hourt before the daises
' bloom againg in total forfetf_ulness
'that he ever lost a wink of sleep by
‘ being in love before.—Chicago Le&er.
