PEANUT FLOUR.
The value of the peanut ciop of this
country tor the current year is esti
mated at $3,000,000. An exchange
says “the Virginians are turning the
peanut iuto flour, and says “it makes
a peculiarly palatable biscuit.” There
is a custom in Georgia of grinding or
pounding the peanuts and turning
them into pastry, which resembles
Loth in looks and taste, that made of
cocoanut, but it is more oily, richer,
we think, better in evtey way.” Can’t
some of onr enterprising farmers, and
their smart energetic wives investigate
this mutter ?
■ —• —i
LEISURE TIME.
From some well conceived remarks
in the Goeoen Ruee, addressed to
farmers as to planning for their crops,
we make the lollowing extract: “The
spring work that is properly thought
out is begun in the only right way. A
farmer who drifts into the year’s
work with no plan is no wiser than a
general who starts on a campaign
without a plan, or a lawyer wh goes
into the court house without looking
over his cases. There is too much
impromptu statesmanship, and hap
hazard farming in this country. A lit
tle leisure in which to think is the
most valuable time in the year to a
man who has auy equipment for the
business, aud is not too lazy to ini
prove it. Thinking is the hardest
work clone in the world. But it pays
the best. It is the most commonly
shirked.”
THE AUGUSTA FIRE.
Augusta was visited by a very
destructive fire Saturday Feb. 12tU.
'l'he loss is about n $200,000 —partly
covered by insurance. The buildings
buined were:
.Masonic building, from Broad to El
]is street.
Globe hotel.
J. B. White shoe and clothing store.
Daly & Armstrong’s dry goods
store
Bailie & Coskery’s carpet store.
Stansell’s clothing store.
Benson <k Co.’s cigar stose.
Leibscher’s fish and game establish
ment.
The Ramsey produce store.
R. jVI. Mixon’s commission house.
Mclntosh and Robert’s barber shop.
J. I‘. Cartwright’s bar and billiard
saloon.
Together with a number of small
houses in the rear ol the Central ho
tel.
I'he friends of the city sympathize
with her in her misfortune. The
Masonic Hall and Globe Hotel were
oid landmarks. The Telkgkaph has
this to say:
Our sister city, Augusta, has suf
tered a calamity and lias just escaped
a catastrophe. A disastrous fire will
inflict loss upon the city, but lortu
nately no lives were lost.
It makes one shudder to think of
the result, if the fire had broken out a
hall hour sooner in what the Chronicle
calls the “man trap.” A crowdedau
dience of ladies and children had bare
ly escaped.
Augusta is a safe and conservative
city, and upon the ruins will soon rise
substantial and elegant buildings.
We confess that our sympathy is
somewhat blunted, when we recall the
tact, that the theater just buined had
caused the demolition of one of the
best, buildings in the country. The
Masonic Hall was built in the days of
good material and honest workmen,
it was imposing in appearance, and
about it clung some ot the most sa
cred and cherished memories of Au
gusta and the State of Georgia.
HON. GEOKGE T BARNES.
lion. George T. Barnes paid the
Chronicle a farewell visit last even
ing. He leaves for Washington this
morning, followed by the cheers,
praises and God-speed of his whole
constituency. Having, by wisdem and
diplomacy, secured our public build
iug, he will now address himself to
getting the appropriation for our river.
Old members of Congress are asking
the Major for his recipe for securing
public buildings. He tells them it is
good sense, patient labor, and know
ing how to be silent when there is a
strong temptation to make a speech.
Major Barnes is now one of the most
prominent as he is one of the most
useful and popular of Congressmen.
Good luck to him.—[Augusta Chron
icle.
A gentleman who has investigated
the subject gives some figures relative
to the religious eomplection of the
present Congress, which he says are
reliable, 01 the 408 Senators, mem
bers and territorial delegates, who
compose Congress, 72 are Methodists,
fid Baptists, 41 Episcopalians, 27
Presbyterians, 36 Catholics, 15 Unita
riuns, 8 Lutherans,, 10 Christians
(Campbellites) and 2 Quakers making
a total of 283 who are actively con
nected with somcchurch •rganization.

longed to any church or have drifted

SHALL WE MEET AGAIN.
The following is one of the most
brilliant paragraphs ever written by
the lamented George D. Prentice:
1 The fa of death is inexorable. Thne
is no appeal for relief from the great
law which dooms us to dust. We
flourish and lade as the leaves of the
forest and the flowers that bloom, with
er and fade in a day have no frailer
hold upon life than the mightiest mon
arch that ever shook the earth with
his footsteps. Generations of men
will appear and disappear as the
grass, and the multitude that throng
the world to-day will disappear as
footsteps on the shore. Men seldom
think of the great event of death un
til the shadows fall across their own
pathway, hiding from their eyes the
faces of loved ones whose living smile
was the sunlight of their existence.
Death is the antagonist of life, and
the thought of the tomb is the skele
ton of all feasts. We do not want to
go through tlie dark valley, although
the dark passage mav lead to para
dise; we do not want to go down in*o
damp graves even wiyh princes for
bedfellows. In the beautiful drama
of “Ion” the hope of immortality, so
eloquently uttered by the death dovo
ted Gieek, finds deep response in
every thoughtful soul. When about
to yield his life a sacrifice to fate, his
Olkinanthe asks if they should meet a
gain, to which lie responds: 1 have
asked that dreadful question of the
hills that look eternal—of the clear
streams that flow forever—of stars a
mong whose fields of azure raj- raised
spirits have walked in glory. All are
dumb. But. as I gaze upon thy living
face, I feel that there is something in
love that mantles through its beauty
that cannot wholly perish. We shall
meet again.”
Asi’haet has been discovered in
Morgan county, Alabama, on the
Louisville and Nashville railroad.
This rare mineral deposit, known as
rock tar* is found nowhere else in the
United States, the great lake of Trini
dad having furnished the supply for
this country for years, If the recent
ly discovered deposit proves as valna
ble as it is believed it will, It will rival
in importance the vast iron and coal
beds of Georgia and Alabama. —[At-
lanta Constitution.
The Salvation Army has at las*-
reached Augusta. They propose to
stay a year or longer. The Evening
News remarks: “The Salvatien Army
is with ns for a protracted battle
against the world, the flesh and the
devil, in a citadel which Sam Jones
says is very close to the old boy’s
headquarters.”
HASTE TO BE RICH.
Too many' of our young men are
looking for some short and easy road
to wealth. They wish to reach the
goal without running the lace; to
grasp the prize without going through
a long and patient training. This is
a great mistake, and as mischievous
as it is great. It is a mistake, for the
cases are very few—very tew indeed—
in which men grow ricli rapidly and
also honestly. Young men must
not suffer themselves to be deluded by
these few cases; they must look upon
them as the exceptions to the rule.
They must make up their minds that
success in anything follows long and
patient toil, and that success in gain
ing riches comes from hard work, hon
est dealing, steadiness, prudence and
economy. The wise men of Israel long
centuries ago saw and wrote that “ti e
hand of the dilligent maketh rich;”
and all experience confirms his words.
The young man who is possessed of
the desire and the expectation of rap
idly securing wealth is in great dan
ger. He is laying himself open to
temptation—indeed, inviting temptr
uion—to over reaching, to untruth, lo
unfaioness, to dishonesty, to erinv.
It is an etlortto steal a march on tl e
laws of God, and to do in day what
He has ordained shall be done in a
lifetime if done at all. Society s
constantly shocked by the crimes ol
men from whom better things were
expected, who have fallen before
temptation in their eagerness after
wealth. Ssciety is strewn with the
wrecks of those who have been lost by
their haste to be rich.—Ex.
THEY TOOK WHIP ; AND STICKS.
The negroes in Walton county, near
Walnut Grove, have a wav of getting
rid of their visitors when they stay
too long that is commendable. A few
weeks since a professional negro, ol
Covington, went out to this settlement
to spend awhile in luxury and idle
ness. For sometime they treated him
royally but finally became worried at
| his long stay. One night about elev
en o’clock they took whips and sticks
and went to the house where said pro
fessional was stopping and invited
him to skip. This he did, and t in se who
followed would Lisli h in ju-ttsullleient
to give him speed. While this mode is
a little rough yet it proves very ef
fective for removing the loafing char
acters from a community, and it would
be well if the colored people gcnarally
would adopt it. —Conyers South.
THEIR BUSINESS BOOMING.
Probably’ no one thing has caused
such a general revival of trade at
Hunter & Co’s,. Drug Store as their
giving away of so many free trial bot
tles of Dr. King’s New Discovery for
I Consumption. Their trade is simply
j enormous in this very valuable article
from the fact that it always cures and
never disappoints. Coughs, Colds,
! Asthma, Bronehiris, Croup, and all
throut and lung diseases quickly cur
led. You can test it before buying by
getting a trial bottle free, large size
sl. Every bottle warranted.
