We’d like to see a crushed strawberry- dog—in fact any kind of a crushed dog. The population of the city of Atlanta has increased in two years over twelve thousand, ac cording to the city directory-, which is no doubt correct. The Macon Telegraph charges Fulton county with having 2,000 illegal voters, and says “the re- iusal to indict them shows that the Fulton Grand#ury winsat vio lation of law.” The new postal law makes the taking of a newspaper and the re- fusel to pay for the same, theft, and any person guilty of such an action is liable to criminal pro ceedings, the same as if he had stolen goods to the amount of sub scription. Ben Butler’s advice to the ne groes is to vole for the men whose acts have been friendly to their race, by- w hetever political name they may he called, and not be misled by- loud professions of can didates what they will do. A negro seci’et society’ is said to exist in Valabusha county Miss issippi, the members of which are bound by o&th to perjure them selves in courts of law to protect brother members. Not long ago one of the members disclosed some of the secrets of the order and was whipped almost to death. If those farmers who put up un der-boiled syrup would go to the railroad depots and see the num ber of barrels ot syrup hurstad from fermentation and wasted, we think their interest would induce them to boil it thoroughly to pre vent this loss.

Answer: Woman's greatest fear is a mouse. electric light is pronounced a suceess in Columbus, and several firms have contracted for the light for their stores. Georgia has 3,846 factories, working 17,S71 hands with a capi tal invested of 818 930,120, pay-ing in wages $4,844,508,115. The reduction of the tax on to bacco was a great blessing to some body, no doubt ; but we notice that the weed costs just the same— no more, no less. The. season is pending when much meat eating becomes a hygienic sin for which the de linquents pay by numerous dis comforts experienced by- the over heated body. The coronation of the Czar cost about $10,000,000—two thirds the cost of the New York and Brook lyn bridge, and more than the whole debt of Georgia.

Whenever a public official steals the public money-, the pa pers invariably allude to his gre'at respectibility and his excellen habits of life; and FIFTY DOLL IBi A MONTH. Is What a LaGnsnge Lady Is Clearing With Seyen Coy? s. LaGracge Reporter. Mr. Dditor : I noticed, a few weeks since, a request in the local columns of your paper that some one would give y-ou a description of Mrs. Dr. McCain's creamery. I have waited till this week, hop ing some one else would “write it up” for y-ou. But. finding no one does it, I concluded to take it upon myself to do so. Mrs Mc Cain shrinks from hating her name and affairs brought before the public, but I thing she has inaugurated such a great industry, and one likely to prove so bene ficial to the ladies of this and ad joining counties, that I have ob tained her consent to state all the facts about the matter. Mrs. McCain uses Moseley’s creamery- and Stoddard’s churn. She milks seven cows, five of them with their first calves, and has sold regularly all this year from twenty four to thirty- pounds of butter a week, at thirty-five and forty cents per pound. Besides the butter, she sells $10 00 worth of buttermilk pPr month. She pay-s for all the labor she has to employ, outside of her own family with buttermilk—gives her milk er fourteen gallons a week to assist Lamar and Wade, her two little sons, to milk. The buttermilk she sells pays for all the food she has to buy- for her cows. She j gives them wheat bran and cot- _ . .... . „ i on seed meal, and they have at the deficiency-—”il there is any”— j j ar will be made good.

E. MORGAN. Manager. “An Indian woman awoke in tlie night and found her jaw dis located.” It is a mighty mean man who will come home at mid night and softly break his wife's jaw while she is asleep, in order to escape a curtain lecture in case she should awake. A man guilty of such cruelty would deceive his wife a lO the cause of his late hours. It may be barely possible, how, ver, that her husband is not guilty, and that she dislocated her jaw while dreaming that she was giving him “a piece of her mind.” A remarkable phenomenon oc curred at Independence, Iowa, during a heavy thunder storm on the night of the 1st inst. Many- were aroused by a pelting against the windows, and supposed it to be hail, others thought it caused bv bats. ’ But the next morning thousands of birds were found all over the city, some dead and some alive. Wherever a door had been open the place would be full of them. It was a literal shower of birds, and how and whence came they- ? In size the birds were a trifle larger than a snow bird, and their color much like that of a quail. No such bird was ever seen there. One theory is that tliey were drawn into the vortex ol a Southern cyclone, and carried as far as Independence, where they were dropped. -55s>n.m choosing a wife, or the woman acce^S- a hu5ban,1 > an bundle of wheat or barley- to each cow every night. She has, of course, all she gets for her butter clear, making, on an aver age $50 monthly. Besides this, she has enough milk to keep several of the nicest pigs you will see within a day’s journey of La- Grange fat. She has orders from Columbus and Atlanta for 500 pounds of butter monthly, but cannot, at present, fill such large orders. And such butter? It is the nicest I ever saw. Regular “Gilt Edge”—beats the “New York Gilt Edge.” because of its exceeding sweetness and fresh ness. To any one who buys a creamery like Mrs. McCain’s, her experi ence will be of great value. She did not find it exactly easy- to un derstand and manage at first, but she has learned all about it now and has no trouble at all. To use her own expression. “It is the easiest way to make money” she ever tried, everything about it is so delightfully clean and fresh. She has the whole concern, creamery-, churn arid butter-worker, all in the wide hall in her house, and it is really orna mental. Mrs. McCain thinks if every farmer’s wife in the county were to set up a creamery- it would not overstock the market; and she is right. Butter, sueh as she makes, can never be a dnigAvf' 1 ' to find a make* at feinunera-'ive -prices. , Returned to Her Northern Home. I X’uaitlj Xe<rs and Adcer'irer. Mrs. Bacon, wife of the late Capt. Benjamin J. Bacon, who, to getlier with his youngerst child, was killed in the cy-clone in this county on the 23rd of April—the particulars of which tragedy- are familiar to the readers of the News and Advertiser—has returned with her two survivin children to her former home Massachusetts. Mrs. Bacon was left destitute by- the storm, and it will be gratify-ing to of our readers to know what was done for her by- the people of this community, amongst whom she came a stranger from the North only- a few months ago. The ladies of the city made up a supply- of clothing for Mrs. Bacon and the children; the Citizens' Relief Committee paid the funeral exjjenses of her husband and little boy; the doctor’s bill for th wounded boy- and Mrs. Bacon was paid; Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Walters carried the mother and children to their home on the day of the storm and took care of them free ofcbaige until they left for their Northern home a few days ago. In addition to tills Mrs. Bacon was presented with $300‘in cash by the Citizens’ Relief Committee, and the Savannah, Florida and West ern Railway, with its character istic liberahtv, furnished her with free transportation for herself and children and their baggage to Boston, Mass. Worth Knowing. Half a teaspoodful of common table salt dissolved in a little cold water, and drank, will in stantly relieve heartburn or dys pepsia. ’ If taken every morning before breakfast, increasing the quantity gradually to a teaspoon ful of salt and a tumbler of w-ater it will in a few years cure any- ^case of dyspepsia, if at' the time ,n due atteution is paid to the diet. There is no better remedy- than the above for constipation. As a gargle for sore throat it is equal to chlorate of potash, and is en tirely safe. It may be used as often as desired, and if a little is swallowed each time it will have a beneficial effect on the throat by cleansing it and by allaying irritation. In doses of 1 to 4 tea- spoonfuls in half a pint to a pint ol' tepid water it acts promptly- as an emetic, and in cases of poison ing is alway-s at hand. It is an excellent remedy for bites and stings of insects. It is a valuable astringent in hemorrhages, par ticularly for bleeding after the extraction of teeth. It has both cleansing and healing properties and is therefore, a most’excellent application for superficial ulcera tions.

Now, what we are here in this world for is to learn how to do things right—to occupy the time in the fulfillment of high duties no individual is at liberty to shrink or neglect. To perform these duties we must be educated, trained, drilled into them, and he who has opportuni ties, and neglects their advantages does not deserve success, and may- fairly consider “bad luck” Iris estate.
