On Saturday morning a young cow.
having a young calf, left my premises
and has not since been up. She
red and and white spotted, full horns,
was raised iu town. As her calf is at
my house, the cow must be fastened
up somewhere, or lost, as she had not
been to my lot but once, and probably
does not know the way back. A suit

Barrels.
In the absence of a barrel factory
(someth''jg wc very much need), we
arc requested by our pear growers
ask our merchants not to sell their
barrels away from Thomasvillc.
There is now a big demand for bar

equal to the demand. In fact, our
pear growers will have to order bar
rels from a distance to ship the crop.
Keep your barrels for home use.

be uninteresting. The material is,
Scotch granite, remarkable for its fine
polish. It is known as “Peterhead,”
“Red Scotch” granite. The shaft

i a base of Aberdeen or Scotch gray
granite. It weighs six tons. The
work was all done in Scotland, and
then shipped by steamer from Glasgow

Gone West.
Mr. Jobu T. Chastain, the veteran
newspaper man, lias laid down his ag
ricultural falier, turned his lace from
‘Jersey Farm,” and gone west with
the Georgia editors. Wc use the term
eteran,” not with the sense of age,
but for the reason he inked the roller
for the first newspaper ever uritited in
Thomasville. Except during the war,
when he donned the grey, and fought
for Dixie’s land, he has never been
out of the shadow of a printing office
since—unless when lie went fishing,
lie has never been in the state of
Florida, though always living within
twelve miles of the line.
He may conclude, while out west,
to buy a few blocks in Kansas City,
St. Louis, just for investment, but
he will return to his mild-eyed Jerseys
and the wire grass of South Georgia.
As this is his first trip with the gang,
commend hirti to the craft, not
only as being equally at home in the
job room, nt the case, or in the edito
rial chair, but as being a thorough
gentleman, in the highest and broad
est sense ol the term, and one of the
cleverest fellows out of jail.
A redballoF fire
Which Rashes Acroos the Sky,
Leaving Sparks Behind.
News an, Ga., May 25.—Last
night about 8:30 o’clock, while the
sky was cloudless and not a breeze
was .stiring, a sudden flash from the
heavens lit up the whole earth and
startled all who saw the phenomenon.
It looked like a red ball cf fire which
was no sooner seen in the northwest
ern horizon than it burned iu its
descent, scattering sparks in its train
similar to those witnessed iu a black
smith shop when hammering red hot
iron, changing its color from red to
blue. No noise followed the cxplo
sion. Yet had it been as near as it
seemed it could I have been easily
heard. Those who saw it all seemeil
to think it was right at them, and it
is related by a party of pic nicer* who
were returning from Sargent’s factory,
that those sitting on the front scat
jumped from the gondola to prevent
it hitting them. The people are
greatly excited over it, and some of
the more superstitious predict it the
foreruner of some great calamity.
This is the second one of the kind
witnessed here this week.
The meteor alluded to above was
visible nt this place and had the ap
pearance ol falling in the neighbor
hood of the cemeteiy. It was also
seen at Valdosta, and several of oar
visiting attorneys saw it while sitting
on the hotel veranda there. It appears
however that the meteorolite fell near
Dude, on the place of Mr. Dixon, who
says it set on fire and burned up twen
ty panels of fence. If any of oar
readers are skeptical on this laststate-
meat we have a nan ready to testify.
“Progressive Leftfon Party.”
The latest, fad is a “progressive
lemon party.” For the benefit of any
who may* wish to give a lemon phrty,
the following is published:
A prominent Washington lady is
sued invitations last week which lead:
MR& JONES,
At Home, Yaesdaj, 7 p.m.
Please bring a lemon.
What could “Please bring a lemon”
mean? The only way to ascertain
seemed to be to comply with the in
vitation. Tuesday, at 7 o’clock p. m.,
with the lemons in their hands, the
guests presented themselves at Mrs.
JtAes hospitable home. They were
shown into a charming little cloak
room, with yellow decorations, and af
ter removing wraps were greeted bv
the hostess, who was resplendent in a
black lace over a lemon colored satin,
and carried in her hand an immense
hunch of yellow roses.
After greeting each guest, the hos
tess asked her to “take her lemon to
the dining room and register.” The
dining room was a blaze of golden
light from tiny fairy lamps with
low shades. The dining table had
lemon-colored silk unpery. which was
relieved by a flat center piece of deli
cate terns and Catherine Merraet
roses. At a side table sat a lady nnd
gentleman, who all were informed,
were the “squeezing committee.” This
committee* took the name on the reg
ister and tied a ribbon, marked ii
such a way as to he distinguishable,
on each lemon.
After the arrival of all the guests
and the marking of all the lemons,
they were again invited to again as
semble in the dining room while the
“squeezing committee counted the
seed.” Each lemon was cut iu half,
the seeds extracted, ami after being
counted and duly accredited the own
er on the register, they were placed
in a beautiful transparent glass bowl.
The lemon was taken by the “squeez
ing c%nmittcc” and “squoze” yito an
immense punch bowl. The guests
were theu invited to a repast of strict
ly leiuoti made edibles—lemon ice,
lemon ice cream, lemon cake, lemon
jelly, sardines and lemon, lemon cream
f iie, and every conceivable sort of
onion-flavored food. Placed beside
each plate was a bunch of yellow
roses, tied with a satin bow of the
same shade.
After nar*ukiug of this uuiquc re
past, the glass bowl containing the
seeds was placed on the table and a
prize offered to her wha should guess
the number of seeds therein, and a
booby prize” to him who should
hazard tin lea-t accurate guess. Af
ter numerous methods, both fair and
foul, had been resorted to, and each
guess had been duly registered, tin-
seeds were counted and the prizes
arded. The winner ot the grand
ize, coming within three of the cor
rect number, received an exqusin
lemon-colored glass lemonade howl
while the “booby” was made happi
with a wooden lemon-queezer.
irize was then awarded to her whose
emou contained the most seeds, and
another to her who had the fewest.
Meanwhile, skillful bauds had pre
pared a punch in the large bowl, into
which the lemons were squeezed.

, Y. Correspondence of Memphis Appeal.
Just before the groat speech was
made we had been at 8$. Paul’s church,
where Bishop Potter delivered a secu
lar address. This address will doubt
less attract criticism. The bishop is
widely known, iguch beloved by his
church, and much esteemed by all,
but his address will, I take it, bring
to him many critics, and much re
spectful distent. It seems to me the
bishop is impressed with the dignitv
of the past, rather than the greatness
of the present. In this I may "be mis
taken, but in his criticism of “Jeffer
sonian simplicity,” as only another
name for “Jacksonian vulgarity,” be
sent a poisoned arrow into the hearts
of all who believe in the genuine
greatness of those two great idols of
old-fashioned Democracy. The bish
op’s friends seem to be at a loss to
know what he meant, and they should
have their say before the bishop is
condemned. One thing may be said,
however, passing by the obscurity of
the expression as to Jefferson, there is
no obscurity as fo Jackson, and the
injustice done his fame on so memor
able an occasion, given out from the
pulpit in a carefully prepared paper,
that will be read so generally, and
emanating from the brain of the first
man in the church, whose influence
is felt among all English-speaking
people, it behooves the guardians of
the fame of him who sleeps at Her
mitage to promptly put in a pica for
the dead hero. The term “Jacksonian
vulgarity” in the connection in which
it was used, carries along with it the
idea of a coarse man at the head of an
impure government. Was General
Jackson a coarse man? Was he a
ulgar man? What right has any
living man to impute to him such a
character? That hb public life was
pure and clean has never been ques
tioned; that his administration was
honest nobody doubts. As a man he
j the soul of honor; iu social life he
i the pride and admiration of his
nds. In his domestic relations he
i absolutely faultless. In raauuers
and address he had hut few equals.
He was cnc*oi the pioneers of the
West, uud was in some Reuse, iu ad
vance of civilization, hut he was un
doubtedly the finest specimen of a
backwoods gentleman the world ever
.He was almost worshipped as a friend
beloved as a master, esteemed as
citizen, and withal for many years
most devout Christian. That Btshop
Potter should, on such an occa-
cast juch a stigma on a man so
loved, so pure and clean in his public
ife. is a marvel, as well as an irrepara
ble injury. Jackson’s deeds of hero
i**m will be read through all the coming
centuries, though 1 speak not of them
but tvs life —his pure, dean public and
private life He never toid a vulgai
mecdote - brave and courageous to
ault—he did none wrong without rep-
'ration, and was always the protector
and guardian of woman’s honor. That
Ins early life was excessively chivalric
■ s true, but that it was the unwritten
f the times is also true; but he
d be judged by his maturity. Was
he progressive in his mental, moral
id religious ife? That he was, in
ore eminent degree than any other
eat American is a fact which no
in dispute. Then, had not the pul
: better be the guardian of his fame
han to be its ignorant or careless rrit

Politenns is the most efficient aid
in the % world to strengthen a good
name or supply the want of one.
It is in love as it is in religion; the
man with anew goddess is ready to
offer no the old idol as the first burnt
offering.
If we did but know how little some
enjoy the greatest things they possess,
there would not be so much envy in
the world.
There is nothing in the world so
toilsome as the pursuit of fame; life
concludes before you have so much as
sketched your work.
Prejudice is the conjurer ot imagi
nary wrongs—strangling truth, over
powering reason, making strong men
weak and weak men weaker.
It is not always the man who looks
the wisest that knows the most, but
most people don’t know this, so that
will pay you to look just as
you possibly can.
Really there is much to be thankful
for in this country that has food for
abundance, enough of material com
forts, and, in the main, freedom from
pestilence and the horrors of war.
Not odly should careless statements
regarding our neighbors be iguored,
but facts themselves should be often
subdtled in the interests of right think
ing and fairness to out fellows.
Don’t think that a man is a genius
because he wears long hair. True
genius brings plenty of work to both
tonsorial and editorial shears, for the
much-quoted man can always aflord
to go clipped.
A faithful and true friend is a liv
ing treasure, inestimable iu jiosscssioii,
and deeply to be lamented when gone.
Nothing is more common than to talk
of a friend; nothing more difficult than
to fiud one; nothing more rare than to
improve by one as we ought.
I have never been in a hurry ; 1
have always taken plenty of exercise;
have allrays tried to be cheerful,
and I have taken all tho sleep that I
needed. These were the rules follow
ed by the late Rev. James Freeman
Clark, and he outlived and outworked
>st of those who begau life
him.
Irresolution is a worse vice than
rashness. He that shoots best may
sometimes miss the mark, but he that
shoots not at all can never hit it. Ir
resolution loosens all the joints of a
State; like an ague, it shakes not liii
that limb, but all the body is ai

Bainbridge, Ga , May 26.—In the
superior court last week Charles Jack-
son, convicted of voluntary manslaugh
ter, was sentenced to fifteen years in
the penitentiary. He was convicted
a year ago of murder, but was granted
a new trial by the superior court
Frank King was convicted of bone
stealing and burglary, and got 5 years
for the one crime and 15 for the oth
er. Charles Woolfoik, convicted of
similar offenses, got 5 yean for horse
stealing and to for the burglary.
Ann Fields, convicted of bog

Sherman Gains, convicted of forgery

ice the foregoing was written

life; he was showing the degeneracy
from Washington administration;
ras a contrast between Washington

ty” of the Jefferson policy, which

ht-se words -they have a common
meaning— ’vulgarity” is an offensive
word; it is a strong word—it is under
stood by the masses, refining can'
change it, no strained construction can
lessen or lighten the severity of this
09 extraordinary expression of the
great bishop of New Y’ork.
The Amenities.
The Arizona Kicker, in discuasin;
the amenities of life, says: “Wc hav
Ixen offered $25 in cash and a barrel
of wild plum vinegar to publish the
record of the man who runs the weekl
further down the street While there
) doubt in our fnind that he is
bigamist, horse-thief, bain burner and
anarchist sympathizer, we know wh*t
belongs to decency and we positively
refuse the bribe. There is too much
1 throwing among the editors
the west, anyhow. They seem
have forgotten what is due to their
position. If one of our doctors kills
patient by soqp: mistake, the rest are
always ready to twear him clear,
one of the editorial fraternity makes
trip, the rest are eager tc pitch into
him. It shouldn’t be so. There
should be more of the fraternal spirit
—more of the pride of ^irofefeiaQ.
Therefore, while we are perfectly k
isfied that the bald-headed, bow-legged,
squint-eyed old coyote who call* him
self the editor of the moribund dishrag
eleven doors below ought to be in
state prison for life, we are sot going
to forget what belongs to the eaeni*
ties of editorial life.”

The census „f 1H90 will r.

like those contained in the last census,

facts, will present a curious contrast
with the limps that we now have for

A very mad Republican has written
President Harrison a letter from Mon

Among the ikOhsengers on the Air

L’p iu Dalton, Ga., the white peo

the poor oppressed and down trodden
