whose death has before been pub
ished, was oorn in Jasper county,!
June Bth 184,9, lived there till she
was married October 26th 1869.1
She united with the Baptist church'
Euon in that county in 18,67, andj
was baptised the seobnd 1 Sabbath in;
! December of that year, by Rev. A.
J. Freemafi. ’ • *
She removed Iter membership
from that church to Indian' Spring
more than a ybai* ago, and until
icr death remained a ,c< insistent
member thereof.
She was an obedient and loving
daughter a kind sistpj;, and a most
devoted wife.
She was a kind and indulgent
mother, and her tender care and
instructions will be missed for
many years to come, by her five
little orphans.
But, her good works were not
confined to home alone. She was
a pleasant companion for both old
young. No lady had more, or warm
er friends, and none deserved or
appreciated them more highly. She
was a good neighbor—a friend to
the poor—a nurse tor the sick, and
her Sweet smiles and gentle influ
ence will be long missed, through
out the community in which she
lived. •
Her kindness is rem embered
with emotions of lovp apd gratitude,
by those whom she befriended while
in life. She was a qpyqut Chris
tian—hence she was roily to go,
when her Savior railed her home
to Heaven. Her getlc hlt pars

grievious and hard to bear.
She said many fond and endeav

children during her dying moments
—asking her Savior to be merci
ful to them. On being asked if she
felt entirely willing, she replied :
‘Yes! —I feel like I’ll be free from

Mother, and raising both her hhnds,
clasped them together in an exult

static joy folded them across her,
brest and fell asleep in Jesus.
She is gone—we shall meet no
more on earth her genial face.
May God in his infinite mercy,
soften the blow to her husband and
children, is the sincere wish of one
ivho truly loved her. 1 * * *

JUST WHAT I THINK.
BY AN “OLD MAID. .
I think there- ought to be some
new laws governing society, and
have them rigkhy enforced, and for each
violation, a fined should be imposod
except in the case of “Old Maid” who
should be left to-act according to their
own inclinations < while enjoying their
single blessedness.
The following fines should be impost
ed for the offences annexed. <
For kissing a pretty girl, one dollar.
For kissing a homely one, two dollars. I:
The tax to be levied in order to break
up the custom altogether, for I just re
gard it as a pieCe of inexcusable absur
dity. For every flirtation, ten cents,
For every young man who has more
than one girl, five dollars. For court-?
ing in the kitchen twenty five centsi
For courting in tho parlor, five dollars.
For courting in a romantic place, fivej
dollars for the first time.'
Five dollars for every single man whef
lives within iten miles of it girl ‘who has!
never beeneourted at all: For seeing a[
lady home from church twenty cents,;
For failing to carry her home live dol-l
lars and cost. : FoYladie’s who - paints

disconsolate husbands \yho have been 1
deceived by “out sidd appearances.”

years old taxed twenty dollars and sent
to Utah. All pretty ladies taxed from
fifty cents'to twenty dollars, according
to the grade' of beauty, and each lady
to decide the .grade herself. Any
amount of reyieflue would be realized
from provision. For each boy baby,
fifty cents, each girl baby, ten cents.
Twins one hundred dollars premium, to
Ite paid out of the fund accruing fromj
the tax on bachelors. Head of families

A BILL FOIi A BRANCH ASYLUM.
THE INDIAN {SPRJN<? JS THE PLACE
FOK I£.
We have been informed by our Rep
sentative in the legislature, ’Dr, Mays,
that a bill has been introduced * in the
legislature, to establish a branch of the
Asylum for the insane of the state of
Georgia, and it being admitted that the
presnt Asylum at Milledgeville is inad
equate for the comfort of that unfortu
nate class of our people, he will intro
duce a bill in July next for the locat
ing of said branch Asylum at this
place,
We think the idea is a capital one,
and a practical one, We learn from the
Dr. that the bill now before the house
is establishing of said branch
building in Pickens county. But it will
only take a very little investigation to
convince any one of the superiority of
the advantages of this place,
In the first place the beneficial ef
fects of our Mineral water upon the
atiiieted is so universally admitted
t’ .* do argument is needed On that
, why not put the' poor
where they receive the
i it? In eddt inn to that we
thv oh as pure air
a • and while
.vc are e.-o ' .re summer
breezes of . gion we are
exempt u< ot the w' .ter
snowdrifts u. ’ a* Sw i.ia,
We will have ample R, K, facilities
in the extension oi the extension of
‘he M, W I>, from Macon to Atlanta,
Another fact that should be taken
titc consideration is the State's prop
orty here,- The siafcHwr-ten Stres of
reserved land here on which could be
found a splending lot*, and besides per
haps there is many citizens of the State
who are not apprised of the fact that
on the State’s reserve there is the best
paying property Jn Middle .(Georgia,
that of a merchant mill, constructed a
few years ago by Col, Lamar, on a
leese', that will expire in a short time,
and this property will pay a good divi
dend or interest oil tkv Tiiorsand dol
lars capital,-the income s>f which could
lie devoted tc the support of the Asy
lum, we hope Mr. Mays will use use
every exertion to secure the passage of
the bill, w£ should hate it hero by all
means, and then have a. bill to appro-,
giiate the proceeds of the lease of the
tate’s property to the beautifying the:
grounds and supporting the institution.
We shall discuss this subject more
tally here after. In the mean time,
we can rest assured that pur Repre
sentative will work the matter up. To
will a thing with him,, is to succeed,
We feel assured the members t>f the
Legislature have only to he informed
of the advantages ,we have to benefit
the afflicted Jmes, and they will apt
wisely and establish a-branch Asylum
at this place.

J3Y SLIM JIM,
A BREAKFAST AT THE KIMBALL
HOUSE,
This happened on the occasion
of my first visit to Atlanta.” c ’
Having heard a good deal about
the Kimball Ilohsd, 1 i'efeplEed to
take breakfast ’there.
it woujd be ‘ something to tell
about when I returned borne.
I struck an attitude on a street
corner, and asked a forlorn looking
individual if" he would kindly di
rect me to the Kimball House.
He pointed to a very modest
looking building about a half a
mile down the street, and I imme
diately drew a straight line between
him and the building.
But it didn’t look much like a
first class hotel. It was the most
unpretentious concern in the city.
However, I waltzed in, and .fopk
a seat at a table with the rest.
The guests were not slinging on a
great deal of style that day; ' in
deed, the majority of them ap
peared like common mortals.
A big, Hat-headed female, with
an ear like a pickle-dish, seemed to
be waiting on tables.
I beckoned to her.
“Is this the Kimball House?” I
inquired. ' .
She grinned and said it wasn’t
nothing else.
Then I told her to give me the
best breakfast the house could af
ford. ' ‘ ' '
Which she did.
And I was proceeding to put my- 1
self on the outside of it, when
something peculiar in the appear
ance of the butter caused me to
give it a critical examination.
I found three grav hairs in it.
Silver threads gh lon g the gold.
It is said that ,the smallest hair
throws a shadow, At any rate,
three of them threw a shadow
over my appetite.
I beckoned again to that fiat
headed female with the pickle-dish
ears.
“My good girl,” I remonstrated,
“I don’t mind eating butter that’s a
little stale— middle-aged butter, for
instance —but when it’s old enough
to have gray hair, I’d rather not.”
The maiden gave me a look that
set me to calculating my chances
of getting out of there alive.
So I meekly asked her if she
could accommodate me with some
bald-headed butter.
While she was doing so, I fiour
ished my knife and fork and made
a vigorous attack on the beafsteak
before me.
But it got away from me, some
how or other.
It suddenly Hew across the table,
and slapped a man in the mouth.
He tossed it back to me, and I
proceeded to dissect it with a little
more caution and much less confi
dence.
But I couldn’t make the slightest
impression on the infant thing.
Tears and entreaties were of na
avail.
Threats and violence were equal
ly unsuccessful.
That steak was thoroughly hard
ened.
It turned the edge of the knife,
and bent the fork out of shape.
I worked so industriously that
my wife would not have known me.
I sawed and scraped till the old
tiling fell to creaking like worn
out riddle.
Finally ! gave it up a • a hope
less undertaking, and wrapped the
steak in a napkin I shoved it into
my coat-tail pocket.

The milk they gave me was some

It was a sort of sky-blue pink.

“Bare-backed, I suppose?”
“Eh?”

“Something hasturliep .you aw

the pickle-dish ear.
And she hpied unt of my sight
like a sun-fiowfir in auUimn.
I was satisfied ‘
I had;mv breakfast.at the Kim
ball House, and was ready to lea'y
oi) .tire first train.
So I rose, paid my bill, and left
the house.
1 I felt positively relieved-of oni
dollar.
I met a friend on the street and
told him my experience/ 1
He laughed at me, .and said l
