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. give it a little life when court is in ses 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. Jiespt. Skiff the Jewerler. 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 no money. Stanford, from all acconnts. 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. healing m-diciue. fer yc,,, **»«« al “* 306 how much bet- toitite a.'/T 1 ' Ic w ' 11 ^Prove both ktr,.,,,..1.. . “gestion.

AN Entkkpribinu SHEKT —The Toc- News-, comes to the Banner onice 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. not? Werf,'ft wonld be Very restful to see her once morel 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.

Plants started Nov. 10 were trans planted into 4-inch pots bee. 8, and 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. Some Ohio News.
