A colored man near Augusta makes a

Air effort will be mods upon the meet
i»g of the next Legislators to allow Ma
son to extend Us corporate limits along

We have received No. 2, Vrlume 1, of

Augusta, congratulates llsalf on having
secured a velocipede which a girl can
jj(3e—gradfall/. Girls have ridden the
old style, but the practice never besime
popular; it rather takes the poetry ou«
of motion for a man to have his girl pass
him at the rate of forty miles an hour
with her knees beating a tattoo on her
shin.
Arran we have ceased to smite over the
trinmphB of the State Fair, wa are going
to have those pyrotechnics at the Park
U a separate show.
Tsu is about the time of the year that
the mortgaged mclu should be reported

Sons of our exhanges are inclined to
poke a little fan at the buffalo feature of
•nr fair. We may as well state that the
lassoing of the buffalo was intended only
zb a picturesque scene, and the failnre
of the herdsman to lasso the said buff Jo
was an intended failnre designed to
lengthen the piotureeqaonees. If the
Arse fling bad been successful, the show

Paul Hun is solid. He denies, em
phatically, that he cast a alar upon the
South during his recent sojourn across
the line. While believing that thete is
more truth than poetry in the sentiment
ho was accused of nttering, we never be
lieved Paul wonld pander to the vanity
ef the upper seotion by words which im
plied its superiority. He closes a letter
to the Evening News as follows s
If ever I have ottered anything touch
ing the lukewarmness of the South (even
in tbo days of her greatest prosperity) to
wards her literary children, the melon-
auoij truth baa been embodied to South
ern journals, frankly, openly, fearlessly,
over mv own proper signature, and not
bruited with treacherous or embittered
breath for the delectation of the alien.
Finally, let me observe that, while
deeply grateful to my friends and liter*
ary brothers of the North for a courtesy,
hiudeesa and consideration never to be
forgolien, I still return to my Georgia
home, not in disoontent and repining, but
glad to near onoe more tbe music of the
Southeruland pines that have breathed
“atiaoge end sweet thoughts” into my
ear wbile living, and will murmur, I
trust, over my grave.
CortagsPOKDXKOS Enquirer: The first
attraction on the race truck was a buffalo
hunt, weich began about 12 o’clock. The
greit wdd beast was held by strong ropes
and tied to a stake. When the word was
givin to torn him loose the immense
audit nee shrank back in terror. Oat he
doubt d on tbe trsckj and after taking one
look at the spectators on the grauu stand
went at once to—estiug grass near the
fence It was exciting. Finally a Mexi
can appeared on horseback with a lisso,
which - tatted his boffalcshtp off on a run,
pnisned by the Mexican, who ineffeotn
ally tried his lasso, bat buff wouldn’t
have it. The buffalo, at last
jumped tbe fenee and ran aoroas
tbo 'field, and while the Mexiosn was
hunting for a place where tbs bare were
down. Major Sid ey Herbert dashed after
the br a oo loot, to try to tie a cine rib
bon on him for beating the horae and
rid-r. this occasioned mnob merriment.
Bat tbe Mexioan overtook them both, and
throwing his lasso again he—missed

The Americas Reorder says: The
Mac -n State Fair advertised in all the
country pipers. The Atlanta fair did
not. The Maoon fair woe a brilliant ano-

Savakvak News: Much baa been said
agoi'iet horae raciog at the 8tate Fair,
VTiib some of which criticism I fully eym-
pato a*. But this year I have seen very
lit- - indeed that any one could object to
in tne races. All was quiet and honest.
Oot. Livingston is a Christian of high
character, andCoL £ C. Greer “won’t al
low any foolishness” around the race
stnnd. He is blunt and firm, and pats s
heavy foot on jockeying of any kind. The
judges were each well known gentlemen
•s Col W. H. Boss, of Maoon, and Col.
Chss. H. Phinisy, of Augusta, and their
prompt and decided action in obanging
dnveia aod riders whenever jookejiog
was apparent, met a hearty response from
tlie visitors. OoL Boss deolsred that the
■ State Fair was perfectly responsible to
the owner of any horse whose rider or
dri ar was ohanged by the judges, as they
wero determined to stop swindling on the
trees at all bunds.
f- 'akhah News: On oatntday night a
zi fil> took place at a boose on Indian
street, between Farm and We it Broad,
which ended rather disastrously, so far
as one of the interested parties was oon-
eerred. It appears that daring the raf»
fling borne difficulty occurred between
cer am parties, whan Robert Williams,
colored, thinking to stop the row, blew
the light oat. Immediately a shot was
fir. \ and Williams tumbled to the
floor badly if not seriously wounded, the
ball having passed through bis left side.
He w«s also attacked and badly beaten,
and the situation was becoming lively,
when whispers of “police” caused a stam
ped o of Several. Lights were obtained,
and the injured negro was taken to bis
home, woe.. Dr. B F. Sheftall was sum
moned a d gave him the proper surgical
attention. Though severely wounded,
ao serious r. sails to Williams are appre
hend-d. It is not known who fired the
shot, but a fellow by the name of dobs
is eu-p-oted as the gnllty party, and ef
fort* «ili be made to apprehend him.

EDITORIAL UOKBRSFONDERCR-
SOUTHWESTERN RAILS CAD,
November 6th, 1879.
NOTE8 OH THI BAIL,
When the writer rode co the oar shed
of Macon this morning, the hoar frost
lay like a mantle of snow upon the earth.
From planks and fenoe rails so thick was
the deposit that It might have been
•craped up and collected.
This, of coarse, gives the qnietas to
second crop Irish potatoes, snap beans,
butter beauB, tomatoes, encumbers and
“garden sass'* generally. Cotton, en ga
oane and sweet potatoes, too, are squelch*
ed, and will grow no more nntil they
etart afresh another year. This will give
oar farmers, just now, abundance ol
work to do..
First, if they have not already done
so.
SUGAR CAMS SI ID
should be dug np by the roots and care
fully bedded. And juat here it may be
well to mention that dry ret Is the cause,
nine times out of ten.ot the bad stands so
frequently complained of by those who
cultivate sugar oane as a market crop.
The oane, when the banka are opened in
the spring, is encrusted with a whitish
substance, and the eyee look black and
shrivelled, though otherwise, the stalk is
sound and can be converted into sugar or
syrnp.
This is produoed by the want of moist
are to keep alive and plnmp the eyes or
germs of tne oane.
THE BllODT.
Dig the cane up by the roots before
the first killing frost, and if poasible,
just after a heavy rainfall, when the
gtound is wet Then place the stalks in
thin layers not exceeding two feet in
depth, and cover lightly with soil nntil
tbe vaporisation caused by thefarmenta-
tation of the green foliage ceases. After
the first hard rain, then complete the
bed with a covering of earth at least a
foot in thickness. In an ordinary winter
this treatment will endure the preservation
of the seed. But should a dry spell net
in,
WATER THE BIDS
to keep up tbe moistnre, and, onr word
for it, when opened for planting, which
should be dona the first warm spell in
February, every eye will be found sound
and ready to epront.
HOW TO EATS TOUR POTATOES.
The writer, in good oid ante-bellum
times, raieed thousands of bushels of
this valuable esculent annually, and found
no difficulty m keeping them through
the winter. His plan woe aa follows:
Dig after tbe firs* frost has nipped the
leaves but not stewed tbe vines of the
crop, carefully saving and drying the
latter, which are very valuable as stock
food. Never, If possible, harvest in wet
weather, as the dirt adheres to the Inhere
and will cause them to rot.
If tbe air is keen and suggestive of
frest, desist from digging by two o’clock
p. m,, and take up tue potatoes and put
them away by nightfall.
HOW TO BASK THE1C.
At the outset, n»Vo «n abundance of
dry pine straw and corn stalks in read!
nes3. Then, oarefalty separate the oat
or decaying potatoes from those that are
eonud/and after covering the ground
with dry sand and straw, place tbe pots
toes in hills not exceeding thirty
bnshels, making the cjnea as sharp
as possible. Next cover with a thick
layer of dry oorn stalks peeled peifeotly
clean, and then apply the pine straw as
an oncer wrapping, which effectually ex
cludes dirt and keeps np a uniform tem-
peratm:e. Aithetool^ave an aperture
open for a few dayB until the sweating
preoiss is over, then cover np closely
with at least one foot of soil. It conven
ient, construct a rode shad of shingles or
clapboards over tue hull, thorngh we,
never did this in Lower Georgia.
We guarantee that this method, if
faithfally followed, will preserve eweet
potatoes until April, when, of course,
they should be taken np to prevent
sprouting.
THE BECBHX BLICTI0X3
constitute tbe chief topio of conversation
on the train. AU rejoice that Ben Butler
has been beaten, albeit a Radical was
eicoted over him. It is high time that
apostates and nnprlncipled creatures,
such as he, should be spewed out by the
honest men of all parties. The returns
from the several States are discour
aging to the Democracy. But there is
THIS OOSBOLATION:
The present is an “off ye**” in polities,
and by general oonsent national Issues have
to a great txient b en Ignored.
There ie room to hope, therefore, that the
Democratic party, learning wisdom from the
divisions Which have resulted so disastrously
of late, will next year bury all feuds, ani
mosities and sectional d fforences, and rally
as one man to eare the Bepublio from Grant,
which means praouoal exuno.ion.
If tbe New Yoik election will serve to
bury Kelly and the Tamsuny Association
from out of eight, then we are prepared to
sing a te demn in honor of Robinson’s de
feat. This turbaient at d dictatorial junta
of politicians bays been nuplots to the Na
tional Democracy for many years, and should
be repudiated by all good and trae Demo
crats.
Eat ws axe reminded by the approach of
the up train, upon wnish these deaultoy
notes mast do mailed, that the eptetle has
■ xpired “by limitat.on.” Ibs writer know*
that not even tne weary reader will be more
thankful than he. H. H. J.
