‘'Have your . hair triuuued,,
sir?” ' * * ' '
I believe not.
'■Needs it very badly, sir,” he
said,- “looks very rugged ”
I hover argue with a barber.
I said, “all right, trim it a little,
don’t make it any shorter.”
lie immediately trimmed all
the curl out,of it, and my huir
naturally, you know, has a very
grace.ul curl to it. I never dis
covorod this myself until a few
months ago, and Lheu I was very
much surprised. 1 discovered it
by looking at my lithograph
Well, anyhow, he trimmed it
On tho 6th of December 1 was
nl Hath, Miiino. Aguin 1 was
shaved, and again the barber im
plored me to let him trim my
hair. When I answered hi'm
that it had been trimmed otviy
two days before, lie spitefully
asked where it wawdone. I told
him, and he gave expression to
a burst! of dureaslfc laughter.
“Wetl, well, well,” be said at
last, "so you let them trim y ur
hair in Boston? Well, well.—
Now you look like a rriaTi who
has boen around the world
enough to know better than
that.”
Then he affected to exam ne a
lock or two very particularly,
and sighed heavily.
“Deer,-dear,” he said, "I don’t
know, really, as I could do any.
thing with that hair or not; it’s
too bad."
“No,” ho said, “Oh, no, it
wasn't necessary to cut it “iau.
shorter, it was roully too short
now, but it did need trimming."
So he trimmed'it, and when I
faced the Kocaland audience that
night, 1 looked like a prize fight
er.
In four days from that tune I
wan sitting is the chair of a bar
ber down in New York State.
He shaved mo in grateful silence
and then thoughtfully run his
fingers over my lonely hair.
“Trim th,is hair a little, sir?”
he said, “straighten it up about
the edges?”
I meekly told him I had had it
trimmed twice during the pre
ceeuing week, und I was afraid
it was getting too short fir win
ter wear.
“Yes,” he said, “he didn’t know
hut what it was pretty short, but
he didn't need to it any
shorter to trial it. It was ve.iy
bad, ragged shape at tho end*.”i
I remained silent and obsti
nate, and he asked me where 1
had it trimmed last. I told him,
and hi burst into a shout of
laughter that made the windo s
rattle..
“What's the matter, Jim?" on*
qsired go awiatant partner down
the room, holding bis patient iu
the chair by the nose.
Jim stifled bis laughter and
Hsp]ied:
“.This gentleman had his huir

U‘.e barber said, “he
wouldn't make it a hair’s brdadlh
shorter."
When I left that shop, if it
hadn't been for my ears, my hat

Ijl escaped from Sing Silig, and
looked from the hill to myself
very intently; Thill night sev
eral of the audience drew revol
ver's as I came out on the plnt-
Ibrih.
Then 1 went to Amsterdam,
No\V York. The barber of that
sleep}’ village, who, in the inter
val of his other duties acts as
mayor of the town and edits the
local papers, undertook to shave
me with a piece of hoop iron he
pulled out of his boot leg. When
l resislfelj, ho wont into the
kit hen and came buck ’.villi tlio

amt offered me my choice. J se

i protested that it was im
possible, it had been trimmed
ten times within ten days and
was s short how as a business
miiusw the first of January,
fthvHt Slfyf besides, (hero was no
stylo about it at all. lie could
give it. some shape, however, he
said without making it. any
shorter.”
bo 1 surrendered and told hint
to shape it up. And it that f 1 re

sou of an oakum-picker didn’t go
out into the woodshed and come
back with a rusty old-hor o rasp
and began to filo away what lit
tle hair I bad left. He allowed
a few shreds and patches t,o re
main, however, clinging here
aud there to my sealp in ghostly
loneliness, i rather feared that,
my appearance that evening
would create a panic but it did
not. f observed that the major
ity of the audience had tbeir
hearts “shaped up” after the
Same manner, and were rather
pleased with my conformity to
the local custom and style.
Well, 1 got along to Oorry,
Tonnsylvuniu, and rushed in for
a shave aud gut it, in one time
and two motions.
“Hair trimmed, air?” the bar
ber said-
I supposed he was speaking
sarcastically, and so I laughed,
hut Very feebly, for I was getting
to ue a little seusutive on the
subject of my hair, or rather,
ty late hair. But he repouted
his question and said tl at it
needed trimming very badly. I
told him that that was what
ailed it, it hud been trimmed to
totfjCtfCjQy, I said, my huir has
Gficu kifjimed live’ limes during
tbo past thir'een days. "And I
was afraid it wouldn t last much
longer.
“Well,” be said, “it
ly tbo thing for a man of my
impressive appearance, who
would naturally attract atten
tion'the moment I entered a
t oiu (I have to stand on rhy
iipfota and hold on with both
hands to look over- tbo back of a

a head-of hair, when he could
straighten-it out for mo in a
minute.”
I told Kim to go ahead and
closed rhy eyes and wondcrod
what would come next.
That follbw took a pair ot
dentist's forceps and “pulled”
every lock of hair I had left.
“ f i'hore,” ho said proudly, “now
then your hair grows out it' will
grow out even. ’
I w*as a liUle'di/thayod at first
when 1 looked at mj’ glistening

wards, I sat in a barber’s chair
at Munstield. Then he paused,
with a bottle poised ill his hand,

There is a time—'tin evening—
\Vhen the Swallows homeward fly;
When the golden rays of sunset
Gilt anew the western t ky ;
Whed the varied forms of life,
Throughout nature cease to roam,
Bht for uie, the weary wanderer,
There is never more a home.
The fairest and the gayest,
Or the humblest sons of toil,
Find each day an hour of respite
And of rest from aii turmoil,
And the palace or the cottage
Has a comfort all its own,
While for rue—the weary wanderer —
There is never more ft hoiiio—
As I ever, ever wander,
Sail and lonely, to and fro,
Seeking, seeking for a something
A'ou in vain would ask to know.
Kindly hands are pft extended,
Welcome doors are open thrown;
But. with nil th ir wonted kindness,
It cun never fie a home.
Thus maybe I’ll ever wander
While the aeasona come aud go,
Ever searching—Dover finding,
What my heart so longs to know.
But the searching will be ended,
And (bk wanderer cease to roam,
And this weary, hungry Soul ahull find
At laat, thank God! a ho in it,
REMINISCENCES OF COLUMBIA
COUNTY.
B AN OLD CITILXN.
Mary Harden lived a widow
for some years near the beauti
ful and historic Potomac. The
American llovolution had ended
and peace declared and the in
fant Colonics absolved from al
legiance to the British crown.
Mrs. Harden was making but a
scanty support, fivnn the soil oi
ill Osd r.yt,.,jhbril and L'e£v ; s..J
goodly reports of the fertility of
the Smith, she and bur five sons
immigrated to Georgia and set
tied in Columbia in 1789, on Big
Kiokoe creek, near the ford on
the Petersburg road. Hero the
mother and boys went to work
to mako a good honest living.
About the lime the youngest son
bccamo of age the war of 1812
broke out, when all five of the
Harden boys bade adiou to their
lonely mother and marched to
Florida to meet the invading
army.. They landed at Ponsa
6ola with Now Orleans as the
objective point. VVhon tlio war
ended the soldier boys returned
to Columbia.
Of Thomas Harden, tho young
est son, it is my p irpose now to
write. On his return from the
war he bought and settled what
is known as the Jones place, now
owned by tho Ramsey hi others
—Dick and Cube—grandsons of
Thomas Harden. He mi.de mon
ey rapidly, and afterwards
bought tho farm upon which his
daughter, Mrs. Jackson Eubanks,
now lives.
Just here I must speak a word
in cornmendath n of this stirring,
industrious wrtmin. Jackson
Eubanks lost his lifo in the late
war, leaving a widow with J or
lO children. She had a good
plantation and a number of
slave-, but they were freed and !
she soon found she could not de
pend on the labor of' the "Na
tions Wards.” As soon as her
children were Jprge enough to
worj* in this field- tfhg had them
between lbt> plow handles and
moving the hooy and to-day her
Credit is as good or better than

This should he remembered to
her and hor children's credit, and
I eommeud her life und examplo
to the consideration of those of

In 1883 Tho*. Harden bought
anil moved to the Griffin pluoo,
and subsequently bought a farm
on tho opposite side of Little
river, in Lincoln county. His
wife was Gracy Reid, sister of
.Ylicliael Reid, whom he married
in 1810. .They raised 5 childrOn
-Umiiu and 3 daughters. As
his children grow up to manhood
or married he settled them off
on farms, with comfortablo out
fits to commence life. Before
tho di'tribulion of his lands
among his children he owned
6,000 acres. His oldest daugh
ter married Tom Wheat, and
being left a widow with 2 Chil
dren she married Lamkin Eu
ban s. Ilis sedond daughter
married C R. Ramsey, sr., of
Lincoln, or as he is familiarly
called Tip Ramsey, a prominent
J emocrat, u true and trusty
friend and one of Lincoln’s mo t
prosperous farmers. His third
daughter married Jackson Eu
banks, of whom I have already,
spoken.
Toni. Hardin’s oldest son was
killed above Atlanta, 1 think in
tho battle at Marietta. His re
mains were brought homo and
hurried in the old fumily bnrrial
ground at the Griffin place. He
leit, 1 believe, only two children.
His daughter Mary married Bill
Davie, of Lincoln. His son is
Alexander Stcpheus Hardin,
who lives at Appling. He is
postmaster and merchant, and is
afraid of nothing hut cyclones
He made a good soldier, shoul
dering his musket w hen h lad of
less than 16. He is a good Dem
ocrat and a clever gentleman.
H. J. Harden, youngest son of
old Thomas Harden, is living on
tho Griffin place. He is married
and has ft large family of chil
dren, dependent for snpport upon
him and his son, a more lad of
16 years, lie is a man of great
[duck and industry, aud could
ea ily mako a good living with
this little help, hut ho has bad
health, and much of tho time oil
tirely unable to work. I hope
this dark cloud may soon bo
lifted from him, and the sun
shine of prosperity agfim beam
on him as it did in the good old
anti helium times.

the surest crop; especially is
this true of varieties like the old

—those of mcdiiim fertility, as
sisted by a little manure, grow
the best crops, quality as woll as
