CITATION.
GEORGIA—Decatur County:
To all whom it may concern, whereas
L D S Cuiry, as Guardian of Lillian Curry,
has made application to me for leave to sell
the lands belonging to her said ward for
the pttrpose of le-investmeut. This is l forget all about the terrible war; but here
therefore to cite all persons concerned to J is a chance to do something kind for the old
Peck’s Bad Boy aad his Pa.
“What you doing that money up in a pa
per for ?” said the grocery man to the bad
boy, as he came in with a two doUar bill,
and wrapped It up In a half sheet of note
paper, and tasked for an envelope. “That’s
some April fool business, I’ll bet five
dollars.”
“I’ll take the bet, and when I convince
you that it is no April fool business, we will
put your five dollars in with this and send
it. I am going to send that two dollare to
the confederate grand army fair, at Ric-h-
niond, Va. You 6ee there are lots of private
soldiers who fought in the confederate
army, who are destitute, some of them on
the verge of starvation, with families to
support, and they have no government to
give them pensions, and their neighbors
are poor, so their comrades are getting
up a fair to raise money to help support
them, qnd perhaps build a home for them
like our soldier’s home, and the confeder
ates ask the norther people to chip in a lit
tle towards It. I sympathize with the
old boys two dollars; how much do you
sympathize ?” and the boy looked at the
grocery man ps though he expected a con
tribution.
■ “Not a darn sympathize,” said the gro
cery man, as he picked up the cheese-knife
and raised it over his head as though he
wanted to cut a slice of cheese off a confed
erate soldier. “No, sir, I won’t give a
nickle. Serves them right-if they suffer
and starve. W hat did they want to raise a
row for ? They were whipped, and now
they must submit to their defeat, and live
the best way they can. Catch me giving
money to rebels? No never. You are a
fool.”
“You are a heartless old cuss, that’s what
you are. You never was a soldier, or you
would have some charity concealed about
your carcass. The union soldiers are giving
cheerfully towards helping their old oppo
nents, and it comes with a bad grace for a
stay-at-home coward like you to go back on
soldiers. Union officers shake hands with
confederate officers, and the government
gives offices to them, and when they come
up north everybody is glad to see them,
and when our people go south in winter
everybody treats them splendid, and they
show cause if any they can on the first
Monday in June next why such leave should
not be granted Given under my hand and
official signature, this 2Sth dav of April,

crippled and sick private soldiers of the
confederate array, who have hearts
and souls and everything but money, and
you refuse to give a nickle, eh ?”
“Yes, I refuse,” said the grocery man, as
he went off down the counter to get away
from the boy. “I don’t want nothing to do
with men who trien to break up this
union. Condemn them, they shot a broth
er-in-law of mine in the back, and for a
year after the war he couldn’t sit down,
except on his knees. When I think of what
he suffered for {want of rest it makes me
wild, and when 1 think of the government
refusing my brother-in-law a pension on
flimsy ground that he was running away
from the enemay on the fiield my blood
boils. He had to get back to the rear at
Gettsburg, because ho had left his knap
sack with his writing materials in it, about
a mile back, and he wanted to write a letter
to his parents. By gum, I wont give a
cent.”
“Those who were shot in the back, and
their friends, are the most bitter on the
confederates,” said the boy sarcastically.
“The union soldiers who Were shot in the
breast, or had an arm or a leg shot off while
at the front, and who fell with their faces
towards the boys in gray, are the ones who
appreciate bravery; and they don’t kick
on chipping in a little to help their old
endmies; who are friends now, out of a tight
place. You would treat our misguided
neighbors worse than England treats the
Zulus. You are w )rse than a cannibal.
You do not seem t- appreciate the fact that
these old confederate soldiers are white;
that they are brothers, belonging to the
feme country that we do, speaking the
Bame language, and ready to fight for our
union at the drop of a hat if occasion re
quires. You would see them starve and not
raise a helping hand.
You would not see a dog starve if he came
to your door and plead mutely for food, and
yet you will see a confederate soldier, who
for thsee year fought because he thought
he was right, and went to his desoluto
home with a btillet in him, suffer for the
necessaries of life and you refuse to help
him. Can’t you realize that his children
are as dear to him as yours are to yon, and
that it breaks his heart to see their pitiful
faces pinched with hunger, and their voices
asking for bread from the father who is
unable to earn it for them, sound to him
like a death knell? Can’t you imagine that
the confederate soldier feels crushed to
know the need of the price of a sack of
flour, when millions of dollars are squan
dered every day, in foolishness, by rich
people who are no better than he is? I
should think, if you could picture to your
self old veteran confederates in rags with
children around them, climbing orf their
bronzed or pale faces with wondering eyes,
asking by their looks why it is that they
have no homes, no food, and precious little
clothes, if you have a soul in you, you would
reach down in your pocket and find some
thing that you would be glad to give to
them. Try and realize that those men are
human, and as good as average, up north
here, that their children are handsome and
loving, and need educating, and need words
of cheer instead of curses, and think how
rich our people are at the north, and how
poor they are, and how much good a few
dollars, that we' would not miss, will do
them, and how far a little money would get
towards making them comfortable, and
always just before day, and day had dawn- THE
ed. and his babies would now laugh on a
full stomach, while the soldier papa and
the patient southern mamma would cry
for joy, and say God bless our northern
brother and shield him from all harm.
What do you think about this scheme any
way?” and the bpy took an envelopo in a
business way and began directing it to the
confederate grand army at Richmond,
while his tongue was ran out one sido just
like a boy when writing a letter.
“Now, look a here, you dry up this kind
of talk or you will have mo beliering,” said
the groceryman, as he wiped his eyes on
the sleeve of his shirt. “Here, don’t send
that letter by mail. Send it by express,
and put-in ten dollars fer me, and put on a
postcript and tell the boss confederate sol
dier that two doUars comes from the best
hearted .boy in Wisconsin, while the ton
dollars is from the almightiest condemned
fool that e ver abused a white mau behind
his back. That oration of yours settles mo,
boy. You can teach me more sense in ten
minutes than all the ministers can in a
year. Shake, you young villain,” and the
groccryman came from behind the counter
and hugged the bad boy as though he was
a girl.
“Another country heard from,” said the
bad boy, as he put the twelve dollars in the
envelope and started down to the office.
“It’s a cold day when Hennery can’t get in
his work for charity,” and he went off
whistliug, “Away down south .in Dixie, ’
while the groccryman looked, of t otlt.he
window at him with a big smile and hum
ming an old southern tune that he had al
moat forgotten.

The New City ot Sheffield.
Atlanta Constitution.
The story of Sheffield, the new Alabama,
city, is without parallel perhaps In the his
tory of the world.
Here is a tract of 2,800 acres of UDbrokcn
fields and forests, selected by Mr. Wlater
S. Gordon, a young man of usual discern
ment and ability and limitless energy. It
is bought on his recommendation at less
than $20 an acre. In three months, with an
expenditure of less than $5,000 on the
ground, thirty acres are sold at $0,000 an
acre. What cost $GC9 in January brings
$270,000 in May. Men of wealth and intel
ligence stood in the open fields, with not a
house in sight, and bought com rows at $60
a front foot, or more, as long as the auc
tioneer would cry it. These fields with
streets barely traced through them, and
not a store or houso standing on them, sold
at a rate that would make the 2,800 aores
sell for as much as the entire city of Atlanta
with its thousands of buildings.
We offer no explanation for all this. We
know of none to offer. It is the miracle of
the age; One thing is signifleent. The
stockholders have determined to put every
dollar of the $270,000 realized into building
the projected city. Another point is worthy
of note. Not one stockholder who was on
the ground at the sale sold his stock. On
the contrary they telegraphed to those
who were absent and bought their stock at
prices ranging from live to ten for one,
They evidently believe in their coming
city.
The whole thing passes our comprehen
sion. Those who are in position to know
say that the building done in the new city
in the next, two years will bo quite as
miraculous; as the sale has been. If so,
Sheffield will stand as the national wonder
and the South will be advertised as the
section of marvellous advance, and the
mighty West will lose its scepter as the
city builder.

A Suggestion,
Telegraph and Messenger.
An idea suggested by a New Orleans gen
theman in connection with the contempla-
ed expoeion has at least an element of prac
tical value. It is to the effect; The expo-
sition will last for months and in its many
departments will exhibit the actual work
ings of nearly every species of machinery
to be found In the industrial world. Under
one roof may be seen more in this line,
than one could otherwise be confronted
with in months of patient travel and in
vestigation. The great need of the south
ern boy to-day is mechanical knowledge
and instruction. Why may not the expo
sition be made in the hands of wise men, a
source of great good to the young people?
In other words why cannot a temporary
corp3 of instructors be organized, that shall
for the time being conduct the applicants
for information through the various de
partments, and in a course of short, concise’
comprehensive lectures acquaint them
with principles and workings of the thous
ands of machines exposed for examination?
While there would perhaps be little room
for the acquisition of anything like tech
nical skill, much valuable practical knowl
edge could be conveyed, and perhaps di
rection be givetf to thohands of eager
minds.

“I cannot endure that woman,” said a

old south bends jovingly over the sacred
ruins of a brave bu: bitter past. But tha
south is still the south, and the grief of
the old shall never be forgotten in the
grandeur of the new, for between the two
there hangs a sweet memorial which binds
our hearts to the past e’en while our hands
build the future.
Tho faded jacket of gray! The violet's
breath is not sweeter than the momories
by which it is hallowed—the shimmering
stars are not more splendid than thd glory
amid which it was folded! Bring it forth
to-day! With gentle hearts in gentle
hands smooth out, those precious folds! A
thing inanimate, it yet speaks with most
eloquent tongue. Its soiled front tells of
righteous battle, and its ragged edges
voice the cruel scars of vanquished voter*
ans. It tells the solemn but granll story of
thousands of bright swords which sprang
from their scabbards at the call of duty. It
tells of tho fiery charge—the stubborn fight
—the bleodinjj hero—the dead patriot—tho
adroit retreat—the muffled drum—the sable
plume nodding above theso Godlike men
who gave, and gladly gave, all that is best
in life (save honor), and life itself, for libor*
ty! Every button has its memory, both
dark and bright; every seam images some
patriots daring dood; its very silence is the
pathos of the honored dead.
In this land of tho south the “Faded
Jacket of Gray” is a common heritage
freighted with a common woe. It hangs
alike in the hut on tho hillside and in
the mansion of the city’. In many, alas 1
how many homos is it hung upon the va*
cant chair; Hover more to grace the form
which long ago filled a southern soldler’a

The reform republicans are lively enough

not the first time they have supported a"

During the first four months of this year
the Southern States have invested $55,504,-’
000 in new manufacturing enterprises. In'
addition to theso is a large number of mills
increasing their machinery, while there
are probably a dozen or more cotton fac-
tory projects undr way, but not definitely
decided upon. It is a fine showing, and the
same ratio should be kept up during the
year.
The object of the new Irish party that
is to be formed in Paris is to agitato for
reform without dynamite deviltry and

despicable agents. Its best appeal Is found
in its justice and in the history of the last

times endangered by wicked men and bad
implements.
