Cuuhino, Ga., Aug. 24, ’91 —Onr
carriage ride from Eight Oaks to this
place gave us & good view of the couu-
a in this section of Georgia. It is op
and down hill.
The roads are well worked,in good or
der and it was to us a very acceptable
and satisfactory drive. Such an abun
dance of peache* aud apples by the
wayside; it was a feast to look at the
loaded trees.
Stopping at a rather inferior looking
house with a peach orchard iu the rear
we asked the good lady of the house to
sell us a few peaches. “We don’t
sell them,” she answer-d
but you can help yourselves to as
many as you like while there is su
many, that would bj glad to get these
peaches and pay a price for them
It seems a pity to have them lying un
der the trees to decay or be given to
the pigs. Why not make them up into
peach brandy and s' ip it to Africa, and
sell to the natives, which is being done
in many places? But the people of
Forsyth county are too strictly moral
and temperate to do any such thing;
not a barroom in the county. They
are like a good deacon I know north
that inherited a large apple orchard,
be would neither sell nor use his ap
ples to be made into cider—hundreds of
bushels would lay under the trees
to waste which he could have sold at a
good priod. We don’t find many suoli
good deacons these progressive aud
selfish days, neitherare 'here many
counties like Forsyth with not a bar
room in it and one of best farming
districts in Georgia.
Cotton and corn along the road from
Eight Oaks could not be better. As to
the city of Cutnmiug it will speak for
itself as just now not being much of a
delapidatcd looking old town but little
enterprise among the people, or l<>oks
that way. Tlie court house and jai.

sion. The place is well ant’ pleasantly
situated in ore half mile of mount
Saunee and well laid ont in . parallel
streets surrounded by a rich ana fertile
country. Two churches, Baptist and
Methodist, and several s:,,re3
and ought to be and ould
be a dittcrent place from what it is by
push aud enterprise; it would make
quite an acceptable summer resort hav
ing good roads for driving, cot ! moun
tain air, plenty of fruit, fat c ! ickens,
fresh eggs and milk.
A little boom is just now sta-tod to
build a rail road to connect with the Air
Line at soma point about fifteen miles
from this place. Tuey have a charter
and the citizens are asked to raise twen-
y thousand dollars which will secure
the road.
This morning wo had to have a fire
in our room to keep warm; A cool
breez- from the mountains which
l am sure Atheus has not.
This is the first day of court week and
yon ought to ste people coming in
town. Wnat mo-tof tb-'in come for is
just to come to court, no business what
ever. Tne main street is lined with
reams,one hundred and fifty of the best
fed mules we ever saw have oome to
court and are tied to the bitching
posts around the court house. This is
not the big courting day there, to mor
row will bring tbs crowd of both mules
and people.
We leave in the morning and will not
see the sight which a greenhorn like
myself unaccustomed to such would be
glad to do. Tills place dilapidated as
it appears has some very neat and
attractive homes.

YOUNG SANFORD’S BOLD GAME.
He Bobs His Partner and Monkeys with
the Malls.
Austin, Ang. 25.—Mr. E. O. Sanford,
a young man who for some time has
been in the insurance business in this
city, has left for parts unknown. He
was in the insurance business and
would collect commissions and instead
of turning the money over to his firm
or depositing in bank to credit of the
companies, he would, it is alleged, keep
the money for his private use. By this
means he got away with something like
f400, which his partner will have to
mnke good and will do so. In addition
to this, Mr. E. O. Sanford took the
liberty of monkeying with tlie private
mails, and it is said he would o;>eu let
ters and not finding wliat be expected,
would seal them np again aud remail
them He also secured a key to Major
W. H. 81007*8 post office box and for
some time opened the mail.bnt obtained

has been playing a bold game for some
time and when confronted with bis
misdeeds, did not deny them. He,
however, took the precaution to pack
up and leave, bnt the postal authorities
will endeavor to capture him and will
doubtless succeed.

AN Entkkpribinu SHEKT —The Toc-

this week with an illustrated 8tor y ®
* ^geupontte^ow.h^crpro.
Martin Daly had become discouraged.
Like many another miner in the far
west, he had made money and lost it,
had prospected for mines, found ore and
been cheated ont of bis rights, had
grown poor and ill, and had thrown him
self under a tree, careless whether ha
lived or died.
The great snowy mountain peaks and
the rich verdure had lost their attraction
for him. He had hoped and been disap
pointed ho many times that he had come
to believe himself unluoky; that he
should never possess a dollar; that them
was neither happiness nor home for him.
He had seen better days. His large
dark eyes, bis broad brow, his well
shaped mouth and chin bespoke refine
ment in the years that were gone. He
had beenwell educated, had tried many
thing and failed in them, not from lack
of energy, not from lack of judgment,
bnt his fate seemed to be an advene
one.
He had done many good acts, had al
ways helped his brother miners, had
tried to look on the bright side of life,
had fought manfully and been defeated
in the battle. He had imagined some
times that the clonds had a silver lining,
bnt the storms alw’ays came sooner or
later. He meditated thus as he lay un
der the tree, and finally, more dead than
alive from want and exhaustion, fell
asleep.
Two men passed along under the brow
of the mountain, by the tree. They were
taU and straight, aud from their dark
hair and skin it was easy to perceive
their Indian blood.
“The white man Is doad,” said one of
the men as he bent on bis knee beside
tbe sleeper.
“No, there is a twitching of tbe eye-
nds,” said the other. “He is pale and
sick. I will take him home and Mimosa
will care for him."
The coevsTsation, carried on in a low
tone, awolceued the miner.
“Come with ns and vmi shall have
food and shutter," said tho friendly In
dian.
Scarcely able to bear his weight Mar
tin leaned upon the arms of tbe two
men, apd soon found himself in the
humble Indian cabin.
“Mimosa, here is a stranger. Take
care of him. Red Clond never left a hu
man being to die. He will get well, and
then we will send him back to his pea
plo."
A shy, pale Indian girl came forward
find did as she was bidden. Sbe did not
speak, bnt looked very pityingly out of
her fawnlike dark eyes. When Martin
had been placed in ' the simple bed she
prepared food for him and fed him as
though he were a child. Day by day
she came and went, speaking little, bnt
doing gently the things which only a
woman’s bands-can da
After a time the miner, still a young
man, gained iu strength and began once
more to hope for a successful future.
“Mimosa," he said one day. “I owe
my life to yon, and if 1 am ever rioh 1
will come back and reward yon."
1 shall miss yon." said the girl shyly.
“Bnt I want no motley. I shaU be
happy because yon are well again and
happy."
I shall yet find gold. Mimosa. 1 used
to think 1 should be rich, and then I be
came poor aud sick and lost heart. Yon
wear a ring on your finger and some
times a chain about your neck, both of
beaten gold. Did the metal come from
mines near here?"
My father gave them to me.” she re
plied, and nothing more could be learned
from her on the subject
“Would yon care, Mimosa, if I wore
tbe ring until I went away?. Perhaps 1
can find tbe place where tbe gold came
from
“ Yon may wear it till yon oome back
rich," she said smiling.
Days grew into weeks, and the time
drew near for the miner to say goodby
to the girl who had become his comrade
as well as deliverer. Tears filled her
eyes as they parted. “You will fofget
Mimosa," she said.
“No, 1 will bring back the rtng, and
yon shall give it to the man who makes
yon his bride. 1 shall never forget Rod
Clond nor his daughter.”
Strong aud hopeful again, Martin took
np life, obtained work and believed once
more that be should find gold. So sweet
and blessed a thing is hope, giving luster
to the eyes and quickening the flow of
blood along the veins.
Bnt he missed the Indian glrL The
pines on the snowy mountain peaks
whispered of her. The evenings seemed
longer than formerly; the conversation
of the miners less interesting. He was
lonely. He was earning a fair living,
bnt of what use was money to him if he
was to feel desolate in heart? Mimosa
was not of his race, bnt she had a lova
ble nature. He remembered that she
looked sad at his going away. He won
dered if she ever thought about him. If
she had some Indian suitor, wonld she
not wish for the ring again? He wonld
like, at least, to see the man and his
daughter who had saved his life. He
would oarry back the ring. Ah! if he
knew where the gold in it oame from,
purhapa he could indeed become rich,
and then who could make him so happy
as Mimosa?
Months only increased the loneliness in
Martin’s heart He was beooming dis-
eoursged again. He even began to fear
that Mimosa was married, and his soul
awakened to a sense of loss. He would
go back just once and see her, and on
his journey back he wonld sit for a half
hour under the tree where Red Cloud
had found him.
“What ails Martin?" said one miner to
another. "He must be in love—no fan
in bim as in the old days. Going to
unit camp, he says.
After Martin had decided to go to see
Red Cloud, his heart seemed lighter.

He started' on his journey. Tbe full
moon was rising as he neared the (fid
tree, where Red Clond had found hhg,
As be approached he was startled by a
white figure He .turned aside for a
moment, aud then went cautiously up to
the great trank. Two dark eyes foil of
tears gazed np into his eyes, ai first with
a startled look and then with a gleam of
joy and trnst
“Mimosa," he exclaimed, and clasped
the Indian girl in his arms.
Why are yon here, child, at this time
of night?"
“I came here ’to think of yon, Martin,
and the moonlight is so sweet and com
forting. The green trees and the moun
tains tell me of yon."
I have brought yon back the ring.
Mimosa."
“And are yon rich yet? Yon were to
keep It till yon were ricu,”
No; bnt 1 wonld be rich, perhaps. If
yon wonld tell me where the gold to the
ring was found."
My father gave it to me." site replied
qnietly.
“Mimosa, wonld yon love me if 1 were
rich?"
Perhaps 1 should be afraid of yon 11
yon were."
Wonld yon love me if 1 remained
poor as 1 am now?"
■Yee, always."
’And if I became sick and could not
care for yon, what then?”
“I wonld care for yon, Martin."
“I have brought back the ring. Mi
mosa, that yon may give it to the man
who shall make you his bride."
“Aud would yen like to keep the ring
yonrself, Martin?"
"Yes, dearest.”
They went back to the home of Red
Clond, happy because promised to each
other In marriage.
After a quiet wedding Mimosa said
one-day, “Come with me, Martin, and 1
will show yon where the gold in thering
and the necklace were found."
Not very far from tbe tree where the
miner had Iain down discouraged Mi
mosa pointed ont tbe shining ore, the
spot known only to the few Indians.
“Mimosa, there is a mine here) This
gold is the oatcropping of the veins. 1
shall yet be richr my darling."
“Wonld you sorely love me as much,
Martin, if yon were richr
I wonld give yon everything your
heart desired."
And not go into an eastern country,
and be great, and forget Mimosa!"
“Never!"
With a happy heart Martin Daly took
his pick to tbe mountains. The shining
ore opened under bis touch. His claim
each day showed more value. He had,
indeed, become rifeli through tbe ring of
Mimosa.
Years have passed. Two tiiooeatid d<d-
ta«B are taken each day from the mine.

from these pots into permanent quarters
Feb. 25. The first fruits were picked
May 0, and May 12 the first market pick-1
ing was obtained. June 4 they were in
fnll bearing.
From a summary of the report of ex
periments made at tho station, in forc
ing tomatoes, the following items are
gleaned:
Tbe tomato can be forced for winter
beuring to advantage, but it demands
close and constant attention. A tomato
house should be very U.jht, warm, and
the roof should be at leas’; five feet above
the beds or beuelief Ac abundance of
sunlight is ewantiia. Tlie temperature
should be about 80 degs. to 65 degs. at
night aud 70 degs. to 90 degs. during the
day, or higher in full sunshine. House
tomatoes demand, a rich soil and a liberal
supply of fertifizdrs.
Tomatoes like brisk bottom heat.
Eighteen inch-sqimre boxes, placed
about a foot apart and containing four
plants to the box, afford one of tho neat
est and best means of growing tomatoes.
Winter tomatoes must be trained. From
one to three stems, depending upon the
distance apart of the plants, are allowed
to grow from each plant. Those are
trained upon perpendicular or ascending
cords. The plants must be pruned as
fast as new shoots appear. The heaviest
clusters should be supported.
Water may be used more freely early
In the growth of the plant than later.
Wet the soil thoroughly at each water
ing rather than water often. In mid
winter the flowers tthonld be pollinated
by hand. This may be done by knock
ing the pollen from the flowers when the
atmosphere is dry and catching it in a
spoon or other receptacle, into which the
stigma is thrust.
Lorillard, Ignotum, Volunteer, Ithaca,
Golden Queen and Beauty have been
found to be good winter tomatoes.
The Mexican Bine Corn.
At a New York farmers’ institute at
Canton, a farmer gave expression to the
following: My pasture usually lasts till
July, If not, early cat clover is fed;
wheat, oats, barley and peas come next,
followed by sweet corn, planted in hills,
which lasts till the silo is open. 1 use
the Mexican bine sweet corn, bnt do not
ent a hill till It is fit to go on my table.
It is one of the best varieties for the table
1 ever experimented with and is as good
for milch cows. Planted as I prefer, an
acre will contain 4,700 hills, of which
fonr make a day’s ration for a cow. At
that rate an acre wonld feed a cow such
a ration two years. This question of
shortage of pasture most be met if the
milk flow is kept up. So I would soil
cows and feed them grain when they
need it 1 cut enough oorn for two feeds
for a cow at night; this furnishes enough
for breakfast Cat and draw at once to
tbe barn.
This Mexican corn makes the best of
silage if properly grown and secured in
the silo. It Bhonlu be cut in the field
when the ears are in the “boiling stage"
and put immediately into the rilo, and
put in whole, not cut. as it is very fnll of
juice as sweet as sirup, and which easily
leaks ont tf tlie stalks are cat finrly.
This juice tarns to acid very rapidly
after the stalks have been cut Put in
whole; there is s much lees loss from
this source, as there is a lees leakage.
Remember, however, this oorn mast be
secured in an airtight silo.
