As a Ke- publican convert, Mr. Speer is making wonderful progress A Mississippi paper says that while some persons were boring an artesian well in Lee county, that state, they found a log 320 feet under the earth, which was in a fair state of preservation and resembled poplar. It is a grand good thing when a man gives up his course' of dis sipation and seriously settles down, hut is as equally a grand thing when a man has a stroke of concienticusness and honestly settle^up. Some ministers are like patent medicines. They tell everybody how to cure * he freckles on {heir faces while their .own faces are disfigured. The medi cine may be good for others, but they don’t like to take it themselves. A young l -dy from the rural distri its entered a shop the other day and askedjor a pair of stock ings.

Thirty cents per pound is the price the Tuskegee News says Mr. Taylor, near Chehaw, was offered for a bale of cotton, in that place a few days ago. The variety is a very pretty one. It is called the Marino cotton, and has a very short staple', looking very much like wool. It is quite prolific, the stalk grows about six feet high, and t he fruit grows in clusters like chestnuts. Mr. Taylor brought a bale of this cotton lo Tuskegee on Saturday. Both parties of tjie Country are now on trial. The Democrats havinging a majority in Congress, have the advantage as they can, by wise legislation, establish themselves in popular favor. Had they carried Newr York as well as Virginia and Ohio, they would have become over-confident and reckless, but now they will have to exercise wisdom and prudence and legislate for the public trial. This is all that is necessary to give them the presidency._ If voung married couples would follow the domesticpla^aid down bj r Senator Vance of North Caro lina, there wmuld be less conten tion in households, and. perhaps, fewer divorces in courts. He said to his second wife shortly after marriage, “My dear I in a stub born fellow, and you may antici pate trouble. Now, in the begin ning, while I am submissive I want to give you one piece of ad vice. If y** follow it, we will get on mighty well. It is this: “Make me do just as I darned please.” "What is claimed to be the larg est truck farm - in the South is in Louisanna, near New Orleans, where the cultivation of very early cabbages, cucumbers and toma toes is made a specialty for. the markets of Northern cities. Last season the yield was about 900 barrels of cucumbers. S,000 boxes of tomatoes and 170,000 heads ol to this a Mr. Grady, in a recent letter to the Atlanta Constitution, givec a very interesting -resume of the resources annual gross income of Georgia, but laments that our people cannot hold on the wealth pom^u-illtqjtheirlaps for a brief season, because~bfijgiffg compell- ed to pay it out as fast as it c^r»&S_ in. Ai a remedy for this evil, he gives ^’sensible advice, viz: place meat houses before gin houses. —The Grand Jury of Thomas county made a very important recommendation,; and that/was that instead of prohibition out- rjgjRJ.h.e city charge a Wcense of $2500 per annum, tor tiTe privilege of selling liquor in Thomasville.

U. Burring. S *P< 13, id T, C. D. C. —A gentleman was in Macon Thursday looking up an heiress. He said that eight years ago a girl leftoer home in an adjoining town, assumed another name, and went to Macon, where she has lived ever since. Her father died recently leaving her the bulk of his prop erty. A thorough search failed to find her. Her real name is Nancy Alford. Should this item meet her eye, or come to the notice of any ane knowing her whereabouts they will do well to communicate with her old home at once. Sound Logic—How to Make Farming Prof! tabic The Atlanta Constitution says it would hardly be going tco far to say tli t there is not a successful farmer in Georgia to-day who will not unhesitatingly attribute his success to the fact that he raises his own supplies and makes his farm self supporting. Men who find it necessaro to buy meat. On the other hand, men who raise their own corn are apt to raise their own meat; and on a farm which is conducted on business principles— that is to say, on. prin ciples of economy and prudence— and which is made self supporting cotton is a profitable crop. But it is too costly a crop to be depend ed'on to support a farmland pay the planter any profits. Bad Management on Farm's One of ihe most common mis takes in farming is the attempt to cultivate too much land Too much work i? laid out and too lit tle done. One man and one assist ant for three or four months of the year, will undertake to crop eigh- tv acres. The ground is imperfect ly prepared and poorly sended The whole work is rushed, and though the labor is performed late and early, the work is never over cabbages. in addition to tms a taken. ! Theie is always more to considerable portion of the ground : do than can be doue with so few is devoted to the cultivation ° f j hand , — ‘ " * strawberries, cauliflower, peaches,, grapes, etc., and an apiary yields an annual production of about ten barrels of honey. The result is a hard year and no profit, with sometimes the conclusion thas “farming does not pay..’ or Beauty, Bn‘i> Yirtue Trot# and Si-.re re Affection. At " the Twenty-third Street Thealr7, New York, one Sunday evening, recently, the Rev. C. C. Goss delivered a very interesting sermon, a brief synopsis of which we give. The importance of the ^subject (the preacher said), can only be appreciated by tho^e familiar with the infelicities of marred life. Our public journals teem with incidents of domestic troub les. Divorce is getting to be about as much ot an institution as marriage.. The causes of this are found in the sickly sentimental ism of our so-called story papers, and representation of artificial life in the scenes of the stage and the want of proper instruc tion as to life’s duties and re sponsibilities from the pulpit*?. If ever the circumstances de manded a free, bold utterance in respect to the ills of the married relation it is at the present time and we need expect no better state of things in domestic life till the pulpit, the piess and the stage unite in turning the tide in a hot ter direction. *■ * BEAUTY ONLY SKIN DEEP. -v^First, it is a mistake for young peopTel»-ff«iry si m plfy or beauty. Beauty often is only skin ’deep, and serves as veneering to cove r up a deformed heart and soul. Some of the most homely we have are inwardly the most beautiful. Such was Annie Steel, the tender poetess of England. Such was Watts, the great poet, of whom a lady said she admiredthejewel but abhorred the casket. Seek, then a partner in life who possesses the inner beauties of virtue, truth and true affection. Such will uause the countenance to be all radiant; not with cosmetics, but with that which will abide amid the stern realities oflife. DON’T MARRY FOR POSITION. It is a mistake to marry simply for social position, This marrying of surroundings rather than of a partner is the bane of married life. For a young man to marry from such a base motive is simply to add one to the family, but that one is often a consummate fool, and a cat and a dog life is general ly the consequnce. Those who marry simply external surround ings deserve nothing better than a selfish, calculating, designing woman, ivho will shoot missils of anguish and sorrow into their souls all through life. Young men in seeking a wife should look only at the individual. Internal quali ties, not external circumstances, should influence them. A girl who helps her mother cheerfully, cares for her brother, and is : kind and affectionate to her father, is the one to make a loving wife. A young man who loves and cares for his sister generally has a ten der, loving regard for his wife. With such there ihay not be glit tering surroundings, but beneath that is the ring of the tri e metal which sounds more -sweet and har monious as life progresses. MARRYING FOR MONEY, Motives of wealth too often operate in the selection of life partners. This is the case with respect to both sexes, “Did she marry well?” is often asked—that is, did she marry along, full purse Nomitterhow honest, industri# ous, respectable he may be, he is of no account if he is lacking in money. There are no terms strong enough to express contempt for any two legged 1 creature who, not having inherited wealth" and not having brains enough to make will go to work with The cold de - liberation to marry it. This hav ing one eye on a woman and the other on her purse is base hypo crisy. Themistocles said he wcnld rather marry his daughter to a man without money than to money without the man. A true man lives for his wife rather that on Her. Independence is the prime idea of true manhood.

Irvite your atcnlion to 'Reir entirely stock of Diamonds, Jewelry, Solid Sterling, Silver and Plated Ware, diamonds simply a serf. In the practical duties of daily life the poor crea ture who married money and has to live on in undergoes a terrible crucifixion. Married life to him is anything but a pnradis®. He is always the fawning sycoph at the self-willed tyrant, either case the difficulty increases. The trouble was not so much in the act of marriage on his part as in the motives which prompted it. He did not sow affection, hence he did not reap it; but he sowed a sordid selfishness which pro duced an abundant crop of sorrow strife and regret. MORE PRECIOUS TUAN GOLD Young men, banish all ideas of marrying wealth. Earn it, then yon will appreciate it and know how to save it. If you cannot bring a dowry of gild to your wife, bring her a pure heart and an untarnished reputation. Bring her what a Greek maiden once said she would bring to her hus band, “What gold cannot purchase —a heart unspotted, and virture without a stain, which is that descended in me from i my' parents.” Get a wife who has what Dr. Watts call “Wealth above what earth can grant and lasting as the mind.” Then will married life he pleasant and agreeable, and the end be peace- triumphant. The Law An English author, Starkweather, thinks hiKSUf'} • ef. a great “law of sex,” olTnT7iie^ine5t''qitSiiT5-.-—CJtoice Brilliants in which the London A( hc-naeum J single stones ami matoitetTpsmrwsp%sjAlitp.- gives this summary: If the hus band is superior to the wife, the family will consist mostly of girls and vice versa. Dark complexion is superior to light, dark plants and trees are the most hardy, and dark horses the best. A square forehead and prominent veins are “superior,” a large prominent eye (which “indicates conversational powers”) is the reverse. But the best indication of superiority is a large and prominent nose, Roman or aquiline, full a third the length of the face. Philosophers, lawyers editors, poets, literary men and brain workers generally have large ex cess of daughters. Wine mer chants, tavern keeps small retail dealers, orators physicians and musicians have a preponderance of boys. Clergymen appear just to struggle through , the ordeal without incurring the stigma of inferiority being equally intelli gent, sober and moral with their wives, and producing an eoual number of boys arid girls. Of course, lor the stability of the new law it becomes necessary to show that musicians, medical men and orators are infer ior. Accordingly, the first are lym phatic, the second are made rather than born to their profession (and the most distinguished as an ex ception have large families of daughters), and mere public speakers do do uot possess “the highest order of faculties or intel lect,” while in most of them “the best of the brain will be found to predominate over the superior portion.

ROSENFELH, Of* Bainbridjre, -WITH MOIIR BROS. -WHOLESALE- How to Clean out a Stove Pipe. “Stat,” in an admirable letter to last week’s Athens Chronicle, savs. to clean out a stove pipe, and especially one of those long hori zontal pipes when it is filled with soot, just have a hole cut out bv a tinner in the elbow of the pipe large enough to admit the muzzle of a pistol or gun, and shoot a blank load into the pipe, and it will dear it out perfectly, no mat ter how foul or long. The hole can then be covered by a movable cap. He says shooting a gun into a foul chimney will have the same effect and if on fire-would put it out instantly. ^ Dry Goods and Notions, 59 Congress St. SAVANNAH, G Feb. 22, 1882.—ly. G. H. THOMAS.
