Judge Douglassj has set an example
that our farmer friends would do veil to
callow, that of cleaning out the corners
Qf his fences around his wheat end oat
fields, the growing bushes and briars
that spring up luxuriantly, make the
fences unsightly to be held besides temp

extracts from, a letter fi-oin our friend
Bennie Carsop who is now in the “lone
star state,” wo appreciate Very highly
his good Mushes for the Argus, and
hope he will give us soon and occa
sionally, something from the great “em

in the growth or progress, manners and
customs of that section will always be
of interest to onr readers. *. .
A good sermon on “Recognition of
Friends in Heaven” is a very satisfacto
torv affair, but one preached, now and
then, on ‘'Recognizing Friends on
Earth” wouldn’t be a bad idea in some
of our churches.—Sumpter Republican.
It would be a good thing to preach
such sermons occasionally; but it should
be a better thing to practice what you
preach.
Aaron Brown's engine, in Cow
eta county, exploded a leSv days
ago, instantly killing a negro man,
blowing his Bead off of his shoul
ders, and severely wounding a
white man. But one piece of the
rncine was left uninjured, and
kome of the fragments were blown
the distance of a half mile.
We were glad to see the pleasant face
oi our friend Hamlin Thompson accom
panied bv bis friend Mr. Pierce Loyd
of Winford Jasper connty in our sanc
tum on Thursday last, we was glad to
make the acquaintance Mr. L. for he car
ries just such a countenance as one al
ways desires to greet, you only have to
look in his face once to feel assured
that he is a gentleman, and that jolly
beaming countencncojof Mr. Thompson
is an index to an honest heart.
Mr.J.J. Kelly is moving for

new bridge, and the public will
congratulate our ordinary tn hav

A horrible accident occurred in Ca
toosa county, near Ringgold*, lest Week.
Mr. .Newt. Bird and his two sons were
clearing up new ground when one of !

death. They were rolling a large log
down a slight elevation with cant-hook?
Air. G. at one end of the log and the
at the other. As the log began raw

on a knot and he was carried with it.
llie heavy weight passed over his head,
crushing out his brains and mipdiicing

Whp.*t rex ore can man desire thajv
God. h?„s given him? This is a
beautiful vycirld we live in, and
t od. hac amply provided every- ]
th\ng necessary for the welfare
and happiness of his creatures.
But, as a. general thing, man is
never satisfied. The more he has;
the more he wants. He is contin
ually looking ahead for happiness,
when lie could grasp it with his
hand if he cufiy wqifld. ,
Godliness with contentment is
great gain. For sve brought noth
ing into this would, and it is cer
tain we can carry nothing out;
and, having food and raiment, let
us be therewith content. You
may travel all over the world, and
where can you go that yon do not
see the goodness of Qod ? How can
a sensible being deny, his exis
tence, for where can you gaze that
you see nbt a God? There is not
a moment that passes but we
hav£ something to lift our hearts
ill thankfulness to our Heavenly
Father. Earth, it is true, is not a
paradise, nor life one calm, bright,
sunny day; but man carries the
elements of happiness or misery
within himself.
Contentment in all circumstances
depends much upon the condi
tion of the mind and disposition of
the heart. Why should we mur
mur against Goa? If He afflicts us
it is because we deserve it, and it
is done with a loving hand and in
mercy.' God knows that if man is
not checked in his wayward course,
final destruction will be his doom.
Why not trust God for all things
and be content with such as we
have, believing that He knows
what is best For us, and doeth a I
things well.
The blessings of God are seldom
prized until some of them which we
eujoy most are taken from us.
The closest walk with God is the
happiest life that can be
on earthy*nd it wtlT flur(^dea^ t us“

“The road will be built, that is cer-i

they ask, if the road should run a
direct line it would pass centerly
across oyr county, and if it goes

the enterprise ei-her route, this
great company dee , not come here

they ask? should we e m fious of
the good people of J asper should

OUR SELF MADE MEN.
S. L. THOMPSON.
The subject of this sketch, is one
of best workman or mechanics in
Middle Georgia, and secured efficiency
an ! practical knowledge as a first class
Mill-wrignt without an apprentice-ship,
or auy aid except his own exertions to
cultivate and bring into practical ser
vice a natural born talent, with which
he was fortunate l v abundantly blessed.
The great suicidal war, that impover
ished our county, being the begining
of time, with this generation we date
everything from that eventful period,
hence we will begin with the subject of
this sketch at that time as a penniless
boy, he being just old enough to serve
the confederacy in the last year oi her
struggle.
Soon after the war when some few of
our citizens had enough energy left, to
try to clean away the rubbish left by the
torch of the victor on his “grand march
to the flea” and among them was Mr.
YVesle* Williams, who Went tn work
H<i fawifjrt ' 1 1 hi naili’—i 1
what was then known as Mills
to build is now’ known as Smith’s Mills
on the Ocmulgee river. It waS on this
work Mi. Thompson found employ*-
meat as a laborer at one dollar per
day it wasquite an item with the average
impoverished ex-rebel, but Mr. T. hac
his eyes open *lo something of more
importance than the dollar. That com
prehensive mind was, without any in
tention of grasping that w’hat belonged
to another, drinking in the masters
skill, and before he or any of his friends
could hardly realize it, he wAs master
of the art, and to-day some as fine
structures as Georgia can boast of is the
w’ork of his ready'hand ' and “fertile
brain,”
With the scant earnihg? ho accumula
ted tools, with which to execute the
skill of the brain 1 and in a few years
had ■ hewn out one of the most desirable
little cottage homes along the river,
over which he secured a loving and
affectionate wife to prpside. and all the
dreams ot happiness, that had been an
ticipated, or expected to be derived
from energy and industry was realized.
The 1 passing yeArt* rewarded his r et i
forts anid he was soon possesed of one the
most valuable f*f pisin this section sur
rouufffcd*Wth guferies, shops, and ev
erything necessary for comfort and con
venience, |ind qn the high
wav of deserved prosperity, until about
•me year ago he was visited like a thun
derclap in‘ a clear sky) by the sadest
misfortune that ev € r visits mortal man,
the loss by death, of a devoted Wife.
taking his sad misfortune as a
imatofhis Aare ot the bitterness al
lofed to this life, ho* went forth with a; 1
.heavy, but hopeful heart in the struggle}
for independence and for
die little ones left to his tender carer
And he is now engaged in Greeting for
hMself and Mr. E. P. Fears of opr town.,*
one ol tha most substantial structures,
in Monroe county, a first 4 cldfes Inetchant
mill, one that the citizens’of that sec
tion will have 3 ust reason to be proud
of, then Mr. T. will have as the fruits
of his perseverance and energy a val
uable mill a splendid home, a fortune
in his talent, all as a reward of merit,
for wish he may be termed as one of
our miecessfdb ‘'self made”

Some say we cannot raise them

they lived well, made money Ac.,-

to see our fathers tottering with
