Tii* Quintette ot Thousand Islands.
Beginning at Lake Ontario, for
nearly fifty mites the St. Lawrence
is dotted with islands varying in size
from a few square feet in surface lo
miles of territory, numbering about
1800. Probably no archipelago on
the face of the earth has such beauty
and charm as tho Thousand Islands.
The ozotie-ladon air. that makes one
slumber like the fabled seven sleep
ers, makes this a place of rest; and
the sweet breezes that blow trout tho
pine groves of Canada makes this a
health-resort for almost every , class
of invalids. Hero, too, the pleftsuro
seeker, if he has any poetry fai his
soul, can.findromance enough; and
after feasting his, finer nature on
tilings of beauty, be can gratify his
physical nature with rowing and
swimming, fishing and liuntiug.
Many of the islands are owned by
men of wealth, who have improved
them in an artistic manner. Beauti
ful cottages, handsome villas with or*
nato pavitlidns, summer . houses and
boat houses, ah’oaiuted so prettily in
different colors, adorn many ,qf the
emerald islos. Tho names of some of
thesesiimmorhouses will clearly sag-’
gest tlioii’ nature, “Waving Branch-,
es,” “Bonnie Eyrie,” “Jolly Oaks,”
“Bella Vista,” “Shady Ledge,” “Bon
nie Castle,” and “Fairland,” are a few
of the pootic names that illustrate the
joy and gladness of tho cottagers. To
get a little boat and row from one is-
Dnd-homo to another makes ono im
agine that ho is in the “city of the
gliding gondolas.” ludood this is
Venice “with magnificent distances.”
But Venice has no clear, sweet-water
Bt. Lawrence into whoso depths the
boatman can gaze as Into an uudor
firmameul. Hero is God’s aquarium.
In the greou rock-bed of tho river arc
ferns and grasses in endless variety,
amid which can bo clearly soon tho
beautiful fish circling and darting in
countless immboys. Lilies deck the
bods of this lovely wator-gardcii, and
arhor-viUes and spruces fringo its
borders with everlasting green.
Water-craft of ovory sizo and or
der, —tho steamer, yacht, and grace
ful row-boat—.steam, sail and glide
upon tho river and its Jowolod lako.
The views from tho deck of tho Is
land Wanderer .* it dally “winds
about and in and out” through bays
ami lakes around tho isles, are truly
enchanting. Tlioro is no witchery
in words to express tho ecstasy of the
soul. A panorama of ton thousand
glories unfold to viow until tho vory
senses reel with intoxicating joy.
’Tis poetry and song in crystalline
delight.
But probably tho most, substantial
pleasure is derived from "a fishing
excursion. Anchored at *ho bays, at
a convenient distance from the hotels,
arequito a number of little row-boats,'
such as aro the peculiar pride of the
Bt. Lawrence. They aro beautifully
sliapoil, and carry conveniently two
persons beside tho oarsman. Easy
cane-back chairs are used in them so
that the greatest comfort is attained.
Our party constating of five, lias en
joyed the luxury of theso excursions.
We had three boats and a 'fisherman
for each boat to row us and give di
rection to everything; Including that
very important fofltiu'c of tho occa
sion, the cooking of tho fish. We had
our “plonie” at Sugar Island, about
twelve miles from Westminister Park
Hotel, where wc are stopping. Very
soon after leaving the whk . wo be
gan to troll for pickerel. Tills kind
of fishing is done while tho boat is in
mo iou. 4 trqJJlugdiuG is gaod about
sovonljr-livo tyhgi Originating with a
trolllug-spoon and threo hooks which
the motion of tho boat spins around,
and givos the appearance of a min
now. Tho pickerel darts fit this de
lusive bait, and in a moment *bocomes
its victim, In this method of fishing
the poles are secured to tho sidos of
tho boat,' ami one enjoys all at otic#
the triple ploaanrc Of boafiiig, sight
seeing and flsliijg. This ls< (ho lazy
man’s floating paradise. The easy
chair, in which he need not turn hi*
body; tho scenic beauties tlint he can
witness without turning his head,
give him literally nothing to do but
tv eujoy liis ease with dignity. Of
course this sport can be made active
enough, If one will take In his own
fish (which t sometimes difficult to
do) and will row occasionally. Dur
ing one day our parly caught about
seventy-five pounds of fish, mostly
pickerel, though wo caught a good
many black-ban autf perch wliilp
still-fishing. Our oarsmen impro
vised a kitchen, and soon had us ati
elogatmiTnaer. Our table was decked
with, yrlld flpwprs from the crags and
lilies frpm the Jakes furnished by ouV
enterprising female explorers; and
with “hunger for auef" and with
koaxtg full iff merriment, Wo had *
joyful feast. ATSP

Mr. L. A. Moore of Sharon, who
keeps a public gin, has turned off 50
hales of the fleecy staple up to the
present.
The weather over this side of the
river is dry. The cotton will not ho
over half a crop. Potatoes will also
be a short crop. The cows, on ac
count of the slock taw, have to hunt
very close for something tc eat.
Our popular contractor W. J. Nor
ton, will soon commence enlarging
tho convent at Sharon, its present ca
pacity not being sufficient for the de
mands of the school.
“Whoso cotton is that?” is the
question of the day now with all
merchants who have advanced sup
plies to farmers to make their crops
with; but somo of them are sure to
bo short.
“We have the carriage emporium
of middlo Georgia over hero at Sha

Robert Usher alias T. M. Fulton of
Crawford villa; said to hail from Tox
as, who has been doing business here
sometime, was yesterday arrested on
a warrant from tho Governor of Tex
as charging him with murder, prob
ably five years ago. It is said that
ho has confessed his crime. A writ
has boon sued out in his favor to al
low him time to close out his busi
ness. It is also said ho will have a
lot of goods to arrive to-day. Some
people sympathize with him; but
murder will out.
The political pot is boiling hot
here to-day, and candidates aro let
ting “mo see you” all around. I
think this is the third time (he peo
ple have met hero to nominate candi
dates for the legislature; but it looks
as though tho good people of the
oonnty are hard to please. Well,
they want competent men to repre
sent them, and tho majority ef them
would prefer the office to hunt the
man, not men the office. I think
tlioro is no regular nominoe to-uay;
but a froo fight for thoao who wisli to
run, and tho ono gotting tho largest
number of votes will be tho man.
September 17,1881,
The Natal Self-Endowment and Senovo
lent Association of America.
Wo received a visit from Col. J. T.
Whitehead, tho Gonoral Agont for the
Mutal Endowment anil Beneyolcnt
Association. Having examined the
workings of this sj stem of Insurance
and believing It to bo based en purely
business principles, wo givo below
some statistics with a briof explana
tion of its working, as givou us by the
General Agent, tor tho benefit of our
readers.
The Mqtal Self Endowment and.
Benevolent Association qf America
was regularly chartered and copy
right secured Jimp the 11, 1881. Its
first, certificate was issued July 25,
.1881. Tho association in tho first
i wenty months of its oxistenco paid
to tlic members and dcpomlants oyer
niiicty-nipo thousand dollars with
only flfteonassessments. The growth
of this order is tho most rapid of any
benevolent association in America.
Tho membership iioiv ogcoods thir
teen thousand. Tho object of this as.
sociation is to provide endowments
.for living members, as well as bene
fits lor tho families of deceased mem
bers, ai the least cost consistent with
perfect security by issuing endow
ments and death benoflt certificates.
Tho plan embraces two forms, the
endowments and tho ordinary life
pi außof be benefit insurance. Under
the first benefits aro rccelYod during
life, while under tho second, benefits
arc paid only after death. Under the
second they are paid to legalees of do
ceasod members, and under the first
they are repoiyed by mciphers at given
periods during life. In accordance
with endowment coupons to certifi
cates.
It differs nothing from the Knights
of Tlpnoi, Royal Ajtjcanum, American
Legion of Honor or any other assess*
ment association, excepting in its
mode of paying its members in equal
Instalments during life. A member
sjhiply pays for carrying a fifth of his
life risk, receives a fifth of ills policy,
and when he pays another fifth he
secures another fifth ami so on. If
he lives five-fifths of his full expec
tancy,.ho receives five-fifths of his
policy ftnd no moro.
Aiiy asyoeifttion that can pay any
given amount at death, can more
easily pay one-fiflh at a timo from
four to toil years apart.
No person is legitimately entitled
to receive their insurance unlit they
livcout their full expectancy of life,
hut Gifs association agress to pay its
member* 6ue-(Jflh of their policy al
the expiraiioii f each and evyry fifth
of Htcir expectducios in consideration
of (lie members agreeing io take oue
flfth at declh, and w hatever remains
of the policy goes Into the Endow
ment Fund, and is immediately
loaned lo ; the members. This aside
from the rapid increase of its mem- -
hers, it an addition thcratb, the
'interest upon the loans, which very
iiatuyafly'Usson the assossmonts, The
average death rate ju this association
ivilf. be tho same as in all ethers, but
flip a*scs|tnen|scaii never he as many,
’fliereioro, jis ihJsmodo of insuranefc
fs less expensive, and just as safe and

Augusta owes much of its prosperi
ty to its cotton merchants, who, from
the very beginning of the trade, have
been noted throughout the country
for their energy and promptness. In
the front rank of this honorable guild
is Mr.W.N.Mercier, whose warehouse
on Jackson street (Cotton How) 1s
well known to every buyer of cotton)
Mr. Mercier is a Lincoln county man,
and his native comity is deservedly
very proud of him, as is also the city
of his adoption. He lias built up a
large and constantly increasing trade,
and possesses in an eminent degree
the confidence who deal with
him. His experience iu the business
enables him to obtain the very best
prices for cotton placed in his hands,
and he lias every facility for storing
and handling it. Ills warehouse on
Jackson street is one of tho most com
modious and convenient In the city.—

—Mr. R. Toombs Cuiiars, deputy
sheriff of Linooln eoantv, and Char

pot Wednesday about tho rotation of
wagons in goingnp to the platform.
Mr. Collars was in favor of rotation,
hut Charley drovo his dray in front
of two wagons that tho former had
cliargo of. Mr. Cuiiars is a man who
“totes his own skillet,” and when
Charley tried to infringe on his
rights he let his weapon fly with fell

drayman in the hand making an ug

dollars and costs by the town com
