Since the recent death of ex

an-l ex-Governor T. II. Watts, of
Alabama, are the only surviving
members of Mr. Davis’ cabinet. |
Reagan was postmaster general
and Watts attorney general. At
Montgomery, Ala., there was a
sectet session of the cabinet to see
whether we should bombard Fort
Sumter. Toombs was then sec
retary of state and was regarded
as the most rash, headstrong and
violent man in the confederacy.
While in the presence of Mr.

Capt Howell's father, who was a

I asked a mother a few even

She said: “Because they make
so much of crime and so little of
virtue.” Taking up au evening

to prove her assertion.

“Well, you can just go right

you can’t come in this house!

In a recent letter describing
her routine of vacation life, Fanny
Davenport, the actress, said:
“My hair combed back from mv

Mr. C. A. Hill, one of the lead
ing and most pros|>ernus young
farmers of Hancock county, is in
the city to day to purchase bag
ging and ties for his cotton crop
before they make the usual ad
vance in price. In his farming
operations, Mr. Hill has always
made it a rule to save the *’lit-
tlcs,” ami his success in the
business is such as to commend
the practice universally. Seven
years ago he was a mere stripling
that had lo tic a big stone to his
hack in order In plow. He was
then what the farmers call, ft
-wage hand,” working on a rich
man’s plantation from daylight
till dark for the prinrely sum of
$3 per month. Despite his light
weight and still lighter salary he
kept his (don in the ground and
operated the hell cord over his
p tient Kentucky mule with un
tiring caines ness. Fur three
years he follewed this routue,
his wages being increased every
year. At last, one cold Christ
inas morning the rich man called
him to his desk an 1 asked him
how lie would like lo farm the
next year on shares. The young
employe was. of course, delighted,
anil a bargain was at onee closed.
At the end of that year, despite a
lung drought that ruined all the
ueighors' crops, our young hero’s
panned out a net income of about
$1,200. One more year of still
belter success, and the ambitious
young farmer concluded that he
would invest some of his spare
change in a plantation of his own.
An adjoining farm just suited
liis pile, and he soon had the
deed in his own name. A fine
buggy aud horse were added to
the list of farm implements and
one or two additional mules kick
ed up their dangerous heels in
the lot. The drought came an l
freshets followed that literally
lifted other people’s soil off their
farms, hut at the end of each
year 3'oung Hill's cotton crop
sized iip three fourths of a bag to
the acre, and his barns were so
full of corn and other stuff which
some farmers have to send West
for, that he had lo add sheds to
them. Today Mr. Hill owns one
of the best farms in Hancock
county, with plenty of cash mon
ey to run one three times as big,
and doesn't want any rich man to
adopt hiui or will him a fortune.

Lazjr Farmers.
I used to get mad and cuss like
a trooper when the Yankees said
tk it Soutborn people were lazy.
But I have had lo acknowledge
the fact. ’Tis true it is not real
pleasant to think so, but facts are
stubborn things to get around.
And for twenty j-enrs stubborn
facts hare been accumulating
that prove beyond a doubt that
we, as a people, are lazy and
thoughtless.
Now, here are some of the facts.
Since 1865 the people of the cot
ton States have sent to the North
for meat, bread, vegetables, horses,
mules—$3,000,000,000 for just
such things that, had they been
as energetic as people should be,
would have been raised at home.
The State of Georgia alone has
sent $100,000,000 to pay for meat
which could easily have been
raised at home.
Nov, ifeieryfarmer in the cot
ton. Stales hud raised all he need
ed and then enough to sell the
people in the cities, all this m6ney
would have been kept at home,
anil wlial cotton we made would
have brought double the money.
Hud this been done, my bothers,
do you think that there would
have been a cry all over the land
about the merchant charging too
much?
1 have said that every man
who (arms can raise all his family
consumes. For the renter, who
moves from place to place, this
may be difficult, hut for the man
who owns his land there is no
earthly excuse for not having
plenty of sweet and Irish potatoes,
peas, beans, carrots, parsnips,
salsify, turnips, and dried fruits;
aud during summer he can and
should have as many vegetables
as his family can consume, be
sides enough to teed one pig for 1
each member of the family, and
then raise plenty of corn to feed
all his slock.—Cor. Home and
