THE
COUNTRYMAN.
TURN WOLD, GA., SEPTEMBER 29, 1862.
Salt Meeting.
At a meeting of the citizens of Putnam
County, held on last Tuesday, on motion
of J. T. Bowdoin, W. C. Davis was appoin
ted agent to receive and disburse the por
tion of salt corning to our people under
Gov. Brown’s arrangement to supply the
country with this much-needed article.
Newspapers.
“ Many persons like newspapers, but
few preserve them : yet the most interest
ing reading imaginable is a file of newspa
pers. It brings up the past age with all
its bustle and everyday affairs, and marks
its genius and its spirit more than the most
labored description of the historian. Who
can take up a paper half a century old, with
out the thought that almost every name
there printed, is now upon a tombstone, or
at the head of an epitaph ? The newspa
pers of the present day will be especially
interesting, years hence, as containing the
current record of events fraught with tre
mendous import to the cause of freedom in
all the civilized world. We therefore would
urge upon all, the propriety of preserving
thei r papers. They will be a source of
pleasure and interest to them hereafter. ”
The father of the editor of The Coun
tryman was one of the most indefatigable
preserveis of newspapers, and newspaper
slips. Hence one of the rich store-houses
from which this journal draws its excellent
selections with so much facility.
Soap without Grease.
“ A correspondent sends us the following
recipe for making soap without grease,
which is of importance to house-keepers at
this time.:
* To four gallons of strong lye, add ten
pounds of distilled rosin : or eight pounds
of pine-gum not distilled and free of trash
is better. Boil steadily, until there is no ros
in to bo seen : and if the quantity of lye is
not sufficient, add more, and continue to add-
until the rosin is out, and boil until it makes
a brown jelly soap. I have used this soap
fq;’. a year, and it is equal to the best soap
HiAfie with grease,
Henry IY. of Trance.
« Before the battle of Jvry, Henry made
an address to his soldiers. If was brief,
but singularly impressive:
< Enfans, je suis votre Roi : vous etes
Francois : voila l’ennemi: donnons (Sol
diers,I am your king : you are Frenchmen :
behold the enemy : let us charge.’ ”)
“Virtue would not go so far, if vanity did
not bear her company.”
Good, Easy People.
“There are a vast number of easy, pliable,
good-natured human expletives in the
world, who are just what that world choos
es to make them. They glitter without
pride, and are affable without humility.
They sin without enjoyment, and pray
without devotion. They are charitable, not
to benefit the poor, but to court the rich.
Profligate without passion, they are de
bauchees to please others, and to punish
themselves. Thus a youth without fire is
followed by an old age without experience,
and they continue to float down the tide of
time, as circumstances or chance may dic
tate, divided between God and the world,
and serving both, but rewarded by neither.”
“He must he a truly houest man who is
willing to be always open to the inspection
of honest men.”

The Countryman is a Little Paper published
on the editor’s plantation, 9 miles from Eaton-
ton, at $1 per annum, in advance.—1 do not profess
to publish a news paper, for, under the circumstan
ces, that is impossible. My aim is to model my
journal after Addison’s Little Paper, The Spectator,
Steele’s Little Paper, The Taller, Johnson’s Little
Papers, The Rambler and The Adventurer, and Gold
smith’s Little Paper, The Bee: neither of which,!
believe, was as large as The Countryman. It is tny
aim to fill my Little Paper with Wit, Humor, Anec
dote, Essays, Poems, Sketches, Agricultural Ar
ticles, and Short Tales. I do not intend to
publish any thing that is dull, didactic, or prosy. I
wish to make a neatly-printed, select Little Paper—a
pleasant companion for the leisure hour, and to re
lieve the minds of our people somewhat from the
engrossing topic of war news.
This journal will bedivided into quarterly volumes,
each of which will make a book, when reprinted,
containing 400 octavo pages of the most interesting
matter found in the English language.—No back
numbers can be supplied now, but the volumes will
be reprinted and bound hereafter.
J. A. TURNER, Eatonton, Ga.
This is decidedly the most readable paper which
reaches our office, 'and we think a great many people
would be much benefited bv taking it, paying for it,
and reading it. It is a small paper, but some one
has said—perhaps “Stonewall”— that ‘‘Good things
are usually put up in small packages.” This aphor
ism finds illustration in The Countryman at any rate,
as any one mav prove for himself by sending his ad
dress, accompanied by $1, to J. A. Turner at Eaton
ton, Ga.— VVe write these lines simply as a tribute to
merit, and to induce, if possible, our people to en
courage Southern literature by their patronage.—
