NEWS & FARMER The Advertising Medi um of Jefferson county. J. W. WHITE, Editor and Proprietor , Lo-u.i3vi.lle, Georgia, Thursday, Feb. 17th, 1887. 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. 'i bis leaves 125 who either never be longed to any church or have drifted out of such organizations.— [Evening News, j 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.
