neighboring county in Florida, ^?he
is araon'g the later additions to the
editorial staff of that popular journal.
Her friends have watched her course
with interest and are pleased to see
that this.southern girl is making her
way in the great, busy, bustling city
of Atlanta.
We take the following from the
pen of.Miss , from a late issue
of the Sunny South. Writing under
the head of Chat, “Mother Hub
bard” says:
Time, with a dove’s wing flits so
softly we note not the passing until
we tear another leaf from the calen
dar. March, that blusters and makes
great ado about nothing, is here.
Wc realize th^t the month that makes
a bfidge of Spring has left us and we
may expect to see all our hopes lost
with the breaking ot the bridge.
Tbere.is nothing for us to do but
^dopt the motto of the month and
with a spray from the juniper tree
and a bloodstone on one’s left hand,
be steadfast under difficuties.
Sweet and dear come the words
of the song “Flitting .laway,” sung
by the fresh voice of a girl practic
ing her music. I put nlfde my work
and with the “cares that infest the
day” and listen. I leave all that is
mundane and “lapped in soft airs.”
I am in some w'ell balanced world
with naught to vex me or perplex me
Thire is a potent spell in music. It
stills the quivering nerves, cheers the
low spirits and is olten Nature’s
sweet restorer—robbing sleep of the
waters of Lethe and letting us drift
on the waves of melody, forward or
backward as the poet chooses.
“All that w« cherish must die.”
Little does she realize the words
Childhood is the land of sunshine and
flowers. The birds sing and the
skies are blue. There are few troub
les that Mother’s smile will not ban
ish, or wounds that her kiss will not
heal.
Now the music-breaks into a rol
licking melody that is indicative of
the happy performer. What would
life be without their sweet influence?
Selfishness and ill temper arc sub
jugated and we feel ashamed of our

, Georgia Prohibitionists Abroad
Massachusetts is econ to vote on the
v, l -. question whether the manufacture and
sate of intoxicating liquor shall be pro.
hibiteil m thaV state. The question is
presented in the shape of an amendment
By -.to the constitution.
Some of Georgia’s eminent temper-
anco inco, it is understood, rro going to
Massachusetts to lend the prohibition
ists a* helping hand. Senator Colquitt
and represenative Stewart, at the earn
est request of tbe Mr. E. H. Haskell,
of the Boston Herald, have consented
to make speeches for the prohibition
cause. They will not bs the only
oongressmen ia the campaign on the
prohibition side. Senator Hear and
ex-Gov. Long, of Massachusetts, will
appear on the stump as champions of
temperance.
It is a question whether prohibition
can bo enforced by constitutional
amendment. The bar-rooms have not
been closed in Maine, although a gen
eral prohibition law has been in force
Western Beef in Georgia. -
The statement wts made Ia the. Tc!-
eiTapb, of Macjn, a day or t«b ago,
that not a pound of Georgia, beef waa
being sold in that city. All the beef
that is consumed there, and in several
of the towns within easy roach cf Ma-
, u brought from the wc8\ and
kept in a cold storage warehouse until
it is offered for sale..
Whs* do the Georgia ftme-rs think
of (his coeditbn^ of tffairb? What do
they proposs to do wish the catile they
r lie for home ma;ket‘? Wcs ern beef
no doubt is sold ihrougbout the 6tate.
A great deal of it is sold in tbif cry ;
and io Jack *otville, uni it b^gios td
look as if the Georgia farmirs would
have to abandon cattle raising altogetb-
r r else make an cffjrf to compete
with the west* ro heel produc r?.
It will hardiy be deni-id that the far
mers of Georgia-, »s a rule, do not take
as much oare of their b:ef cattle as they
ought. Ths beevt s tbey *end to mar
ket do not weigh, on au average, more
than 275 pounds each. .The woh ern
beeves average over 400 pounds. Wes
ters bocf, therefore, is better than that
of Georgia and commands a better
price.
What the Georgia farmers must do
is this: They mu‘t introduce improv
ed breads of cattb, and they must fat
ten their bums bsfore sending them to
market. A great many of the cattle
sent to market in the Georgia towns are
not fit' to be slaughtered. They are
poor and tbrir meat ii tough.* Conse
quently they comm i d a very small
price Indeed, there are butchers who
don't want (hem at any prio 3 .
Georgia farms produce good ornand
good grass. If Georgia cattle are
en plenty of gress of a nutritious kind,
and core, the butchers wiil net only be
glad to get than, but will pay for them
every c.nt they are worth. The farm
ers u f this state make a mistake when
they send (o market scrawny little cat
t'e which losk as if they had never had
enough to cat.
If Georgia farmers aro going to com
pete witii the western produicrs of beef
they must improve their stock and
prove their farms. Their farms must
be improved so that they will grow the
best qualities of grass. G*>d grass and
water and corn are ueeessary to the
production of the best qualities of beef.
Georgia, wish her fertile lands, ought
not to go to the west for ciiher beef,
or pork, grtin or hay. She must do
it if she wants to increase her prosperi
ty.—Mews.
CHIN-KIANG’S RIOT.
One Foreigner Missing—Build
ings Looted and Burned.
San Francisco, March 9.—Thd
steamship, Belgie, which arrived here
this morning from Hong Kong and
YoDkohoma brings the first detailed
advices of tho recent anti-European
riots at Chin-Kiang.
Chin-Kiang is a ruin. It has had
many vicissitudes from the time when
the fir t foreign residents lived in jnnktf
on tbe north shore oi tbe Yangtse.
By and by a village was laid out,
houses were bailt and the north shore
abandoned, much land there being
washed away by the river. Gradually
it became a thriving community, with
a belief that it would bo ihe terminus
of the Peking railway and would sup
plant Shanghai. The trouble began,
it is claimed, in a street row in which a
Chinaman was knocked down by i
policeman. This excited tbe mob, and
their first act was to destroy the police
station. Then they made for the British
consulate, where the Chinese inspeotof,
who has not sicej been seen, is believed
to have taken refuge. On the way
they fired three foreign houses.
CHINESE SOLDIERS DESERT.
The Chinese general in command
sent 300 men to protect the consulate.
As soon as the mob appeared the sol
diers capitulated. Some fled and some
joined the mob. The consul’s wife
fled barefoot with her children from
the back door of tho consulate, while
the mob, aided by tho soldiers, sacked
and burned everything. The mission
aries’ houses and chapel shared nearly
the same fate, while the British consul
himself was twice in danger of death.
The American consulate was looted,
and mere houses were burned. The
residents took refuge on the hulks, and
the mob tried to follow them, but the
connecting bridges were raised. The
vic.roy telegraphed to the British con
sul that he was sending 2,000 soldiers
to restore order.
ESCAPE OP THE FOREIGNERS.
The foreign residents who fled to the
hulks stationed-iu the river subsequent
ly went on board a jnerchant steamer
and were taken to 'Shanghai.

Kelley, Washington county, with
Hon. Felix Corpus Floyd county, as
director from the state at large.
The meeting was held, of course,
with closed doors. All'that fa given
to the public fa that the meeting was
harmonious, and the following resolu
tions were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we approve and
indorse the circular letter issued by
President Corput explaining the
adopted plan of the Farmers 1 Alliance
Exchange, and accept it as the utter
ances of this body.
Resolved, That haying carefully
examined the bond given by the presi
dent of the First National bank of
Rome for the safety of the deposits
of the exchange, as well as other
safeguards thrown around this fund
by Mr. Corput, we again reiterate
our unqualified approval of his actions
in the premises. The absolute safety
of this fund from all sources could
not have been better provided for.
Resclved, That we now urge upon
every Farmers’ Alliance in the state
the necessity of ratifying and adopt
>ng the plan of the exchange, and
remitting the amount bf • their sub
scription to the First National bank
of Rome at once. The board pf di
rectors are powerless to commence
operation until $5.0,000 is actually
paid in; they therefore ‘urgfc imme
diate action in the premises so that
they may be able to make all neces
sary arrangements for the handling
ot the incoming cotton crop, and
farm supplies then needed.
Resolved further, That they unqual
ifiedly condemn the action of any
member of the order who by word or
deed, outspoken or implied, aims to
defeat or injure the exchange move
ment in Georgia. -
Resolved, That we approve of the
president’s ruling and would espec
ially call attention to the following:
Male members only should be
counted when estimating the liability
of Farmers’ Alliance to subscribe to
the stock of the exchange as per sec
tion 7 oi the plan.
Subscriptions to stock should be
made in accordance with full male
membership of the alliance ratifying
the plan and not upon the basis of
those voting in the affirmative only.
The capital stock of the exchange
is sacred to its members, and no
charges of any kind for salaries of
officers or. other expenses incurred
must be charged against this fund
except the matter of postage, printing
and charter fees.
Should, through any unforeseen
occurrence, the exchange fail to go
into operation, the money collected
from each .county will be refunded to
its contributors, alter deducting 4heir
pro rata of printing and postage.
Alliances should subscribe to stock
on the basis ot their present ability
as per schedule in plan. Decrease
or increase of membership should
not afford grounds for a reduction of
their liabilities to the exchange, or
for a forced increase on the part of
the management of the exchange.
Increased membership can, if they
see fit, assist in paying assessments
on stock subscribed,* and thereby
share in the benefits of the exchange.
That should be a matter for local
action of the alliance subscribing to
stock.
It is the duty of the county stock
holder to collect twenty five per cent
cf stock subscribed at once and re
mit the same to B. i. Hughes, cash
ier oi the First National bank of
Rome, Georgia, that being the'only
recognized place ot deposit for the
funds of the exchange. Iiv case the

No, nor were they incredulous

It seems thatjhero Was no cow —
or no satisfactory* dowj^at the white
house, so the ofd ex-farmer imade
inquines, and learned that * Saturday
was the day when the drovers came
in from thfc country to the Marsh
market to sell their cattle. Conse-
qently, early bn Saturday morning
President Harrison,instead of sending
a servant, arose and walked down to
the market. There he found cows
“galore!"
He soon made a trade with a
burly Montgomery county drover, by
which he became the possessor of a
fine “Durham.”
Where shall I drive it, sir?” inqui
red the drover, who did not recog
nize the iVesident. * J
To the whiite house. I will show
you the way,” replied President Har
“Why, you don’t mean to say,
freind,. ihat you’ve bought this yere
beast for old Granny Harrison?” de
manded the drover with dilated
eyes.
“Yes,” replied the old hero, with
out showing the resentment that a
stroller man might have thought
nefceSsary.
: The drover left his cattle in the
care of his son and turned the ‘-Dur
ham, out on the avenue, where he
and the President walked side by
side behind the cow, guiding her
way. * The President on the inside
geDtly raised his stick when sukey
made an effort to promenade the
sidewalk, and the drover flourished
his- whip when she threatened to
break into the middle of the street.
“I’m a democrat, myself,” the dro
ver volunteered to inform his com
panion, and voted for old Van, of
coarse; but the other day at the
’naaguration—ha! ha! ha!—111 be
doggone if I didn’t fling up my hat
and horrah for Granny Harmson
with the best on ’em! Couldn’t help
it, somehow.”
♦‘Thank you,” said the President.
‘ Oh, you’re a whig! But I might
a known that by your having a siter-
ation in the white house, as I s’pose
you have, haint you?”
“Yes” said the President.
“What be you here now? Card
ner?”
“No.”
“Coachman, then, or body serv
ant?”
'‘Neither. I suppose I may call
myself a general servant.”
“Oh, yes! Run errands, wait on
the table, answer the door knocker,
and like o’that,” remarked the drov
er, who had no idea of what the
domestic establishment of the Pres
ident of the United States was like.
“Something not very unlike that, 1
said the Prendent with a tolerant
smile.
“Do you see much of Granny
Harrison now?” inquired the man as
they neared the white house grounds.
“Considerable,” replied the Presi
dent.
“How do you like the old fellow? 11
“That’s hard to tell. Too well,
most likely,” most thoughtfully re
plied the old hero.
“I’ll go bail you do!”
“Well, here we are,” said the Pres
ident, opening the gate that led to
tbe stable.
Several men-servants came for
ward, touching their hats.
“Take charge of this cow and at
tend to her?” ordered the President.
Then, turning to the drover, he
said: “Come friend! Come into the
house and take some breakfast.”
Thanky! X don’t care if I do!
Say, could you get me a sight of old
Granny Hamson? ’
••Didn’t you see him at the inaug
uration?”
“Lor’, yes! but not nigh enough to
know what he looked like! I would
like to set a squint at him. anvwavs! ’

Talk About Slow Trains!
From the Philadelphia North American.
“I want to go to bed, so give me a
room as soon as yon can. I onght to
have reached the oity early this after
noon, and here it'fa 11 o’elock.”
“What made you so late?” asked a
Girard house clerk, as he threw down
a key to which was attached a rough-
edged brass tag about tbe tize of
buckwheat cake.
Ob! slow trains! SJow trains! They
seemed to stop everywhere, and all the
little cross roads between these placca.”
“That’s queer.”
“I should say it was. Why, at one
place they stopped about seven minutes
while half a dcz:n people came out of
the only house to be seen in the neigh
borhood-and boarded the train. Did
you ever hear anything like it?”
“Never.”
“I have,” said a little old man with
Ion4, shaggy hair, who had overheard
the conversation, white searching the
Philadelphia directory for the name of
a Boston firm.
“Yon have?”
