Oh, Edward dear A where do von roam x
On land, or oh the sea;
If vou are in seme quiet home
f)o you remember me ?
I love to see the beautiful moon
While lhy mind wonders after you,
Perhaps while I, its beams behold
Mv Edward, he is looking too.
Yes, when I view the azure sky:
Fond memories they renew,
And in my anguish can but cry
My love! Oh where are you ?
And when grief robs me of my sleep,
I watcb the twinkle of some star
And pray you send one little sheet
To tell me where you are.
Oh can you live on this same earth.
And never think of me ?
While I must die, in sad dopair
Of, thy loving face to see.
Have you forgot your parting word?
When last, \ou said good bye,
“You said dear girl, remember me

untamed steer of Col. '3; ?. Smith,
and sent st>Y er al negroes to drive

road to Crawford. Fpr the first
half mile his steership ggve but
ittle trouble, but while going down
a lane it suddenly realized the tdot
that it “wanted to go back home,”
and made a bolt for the drivers.
They nobly held their ground until
hey found that fire beast meant
business, When Jap.-, ignomineous;
stampede commenced, _. One of the
drivers escaped by scaling a fence,
while bthers scattered fe the right;
and left i but an, old darkey, named
John Deadwybffy Was not so fortu

be had to escape behind a tree,
when commenced a tilt between
the man and steer. The ox chased
him around until his head began (
to swim, but during a temporary
lull, while his steership was fight
ing a fly, John started up that tree.
But he was not qnick enough.
The animal made a drive at the
many and* caught his horn in the
seat of his -parits.i* ~.For several
minutes there ’was an exciting
contest. The darkey trying to es

'GOOP ADVICE.
•
We take the following from a
communication from Thomasville,
;o the Constitution, and hope the
farmers of Pike county and sur
rounding counties will meet in their
respective counties on the 4tli oi
July next, and adopt Mr. Parkers
resolutions, or something like them,
and then Carry them out to the
letter, and it will be the financial
salvation of this, section:
“Mir. Johll I Parker is acknowl
edged to be* mie of the most suc
cessful rifcd 'intelligent farmers in
Thomas county,'.’ if not uncondi-
tionally so-.'/ He publishes a long
letter in to-day’s Times advocat
ing the cultivation of less cotton
and bacon, com and oti,e;
produce. Ml Parker commands
the universal confidence ot the en-
tire county, and his suggestions
will have great force, especially
since they are emphasized by his
own successful practice ot them
for the past fifteen years. He
proposes a country meeting in ev
ery county of the state on the 4tli
of next July, and particularly in
Thomas county, and that here the
following resolutions be adopted:
Resolved 1. That we, the tar
mers of Thomas county, from
this, the 4th day of July, 1881, de
clare our independence of king
cotton and of the north and west
ior our daily rations: that we will,
for the next" years, or during
our natural life, try by the help of
Almighty God, to raise plenty of
the necessaries of life for our
families and county, and all creep
ing things in old Thomas county;-
that we will henseforth and for
ever plant only one-half the cotton
we have been planting, and, fur
thermore, we bind our heirs and
executions and administrators to
the same course.
Resolved 2. That we, the farmers
of Thomas county, in convention
assembled, request the merchants,
more especially those of this place,
and all others friendly to the cause
of independence of king cotton and
the north, on and after one year
from this date, neither to aid or
abet in any way, with regard to
race, color, or previous condition,
in the over-production of cotton.
Resolved 3. That county papers
publish these proceedings, request
ing all papers friendly to the wel
fare of mankind to copy. —Pike
Co s, News.
IN MEMORIUM.
To the Officers and Members of
St. John’s Lodge, No. 45. F.
A. M.
We the undersigned committee
having been requested to draft
Resolutions expressive of the feel
ings of the Lodge in regard to the
death our worshipful master R. C.
Carmichael, submit the following:
Died in Jackson Butts counts,
Ga., on the 7th day Of May last,
our esteemed brother and worship
ful master R. C. Citfmichael in the
48th year of his .life;
Death is at all tinies and under
all circumstanced attended with
sadness, but the suddeness with
which it reriioVed our Brother
made it peculiarly tiding. Leav
ing the bosom of his family in
seemingly improved health, in a
moment lie Ml dead in the street
at Jacksoi . without a moments pre
monition or own time to bid the
friends looking at him at the thru
in- id 11; :ii /.. 'A. or to give any
directions to Lis as to his
business.
He was modest and • -< rved in
his manners; crindid and. truthful
in his word;, i always meaning just
what he said; ekriste in bis lan
guage, never indulging in light or
trival conversation or anything
obscene and vulgar; in his deal
ings he was the very sole of honor;
seeming to strangers a little cold
id his disposition, yet those . who
knew him well found in him a
warm, pure and faithful heart. In
every relation of life he was a
true man, True son, true citizen,
true friend, true father and true
husband.
Therefore Resolved, Ist. This
Lodge in the death of our Wor-,
shipful master has lost one of its
most prompt, faithful and efficient
members, society one of its most
useful citizens and we commend
his example to the remaining
members of our Lodge, and espe
cially his industrious, energetic and
honest life to the young men of
our common country.
2d. We tender our sympathies
to his surrounding family, for
which he was such an ample pro
vider, and to which he was so
much devoted, and assure them
we shall never forget the peculiar
obligations resting upon us in re
gard to them.
3rd. These Resolutions to be
spread upon our minutes and the
Middle Georgia Argus be request
ed to publish them in one of its is
sues and a copy be sent to the
family. This June 9th 1881.

Newnan correspondence of ihe Con
stitution : “The remains of a little
child, which were btrrfed twenty-two
years, were removed-'in our ' cemetary
and placed by the grave of its father,
Meredith Kendrick, a promising lawyer
of this place, who was killed in the Con
federate service. On taking the plate
from the top of the metallic coflin,
rhrough the child was seen with every
feature just as the day it was put in the
grave. In its hands was the little bou
quet of flowers which was put there up
on its burial day, perfectly preserved.
Its cheek was slightly more florid than
when buried. The child was not bu
ried until three days after death, and
was then brought from Fayetteville to
this place for interment.”

1 The Dalton Citizen reports that a ter
rible accident happened cm Mr. Ham-
I right’s farm, seven rilfles south of Ring
gold, on Tuesday. A man named Ru
fus Henderson was Out open by a cir
cular saw, which was. running at full
speed. His head was split in twain,
each half tailing on either side of the
s 4V, and his left side below his ribs
cut open, leaving his heart exposed.
Doth hands were (Ait off. It is supposed
he stepped one of the little rolers that
is- attached to the carriage, and this
drew him on the saw, which quietly ac
complished its terrible work. He leaves
a wife and three children. The same pa
per states also that Mrs. Ambrose Bart
ley was drowned in Holly creek, near
Cohutta Spring's, a few days ago. She
had gone on the mountain in search of
pink root and gensing, in company with
a little girl, and, when returning home
in the evening, she slipped from a prec
ipice and fell to the stream below. Her
little companion was powless to render
her assistance, and the unfortunate wo
q*rtin quickly drowned. All night the
little girl remained, desolate and alone,
by the side of the corpse, which was
floating among some drift wood a f3w
feet off. When morning damned, the
girl returned home, a distance of
five miles, telling, on her arrival, the
sad story.
Died. —At her home in this county*
on Monday night last Mrs. Charley
Byars, nee Jones daughter of our for
mer fellow citizen John P. Jones.
She had been lor somn months a vic
tim of that incurable and fa'al desease
consumption, and at one o’clock Tues
day morning the frail body yielded to
the monster and the vital“ spark went
out.
How sad to see the fond wife and
mother fall a prey, to this awful desease
tiiat no medical skill Cait check, ndr no
hand of affection mitigate, but there is
one consolation ill connection with tliis
dread desease; few if any ever fall by its
unering stroke blit What they express
a willingness to go, and such was the
case with this young wife and mother,
she expressed herself as fully willing,
only regretted leaving.two little ones to
the care of others. The surging bil
lows of the dark arid turbid stream had
no terrors for her, friends that had gone
before beckoned her to come and be with
them at rest. May the jjreat protector
guide the little orphans, and
them an t the bereaved husband for the
it • . ting v.. ( u parting vhibe no more.

NOW, AND THIRTY* \ L.LR
AGO.
The Voyage of Life is before us,
and on this sublime voyage we are
often hurled back to the dear old
homes d\ <sur childfenhood to
start, whereby We nifty make this
voyage understood t<s ourselves
and knowti tribe A solemn fact
by older men arid vVonien. And
though we have lived long end ugh
to know that life is a battle be-;
twe'en evil and good from child
hood. .
v >Ve know not half the power for good
or ill
Our daily lives possess o’er one another,
A careless word may help a soul to kill
Or by one 100 k may redeem our broth
er”
and steadily endeavoring to do
right quietly, without ostentation
and humbly following in the foot
steps of Jesus will prove that “a
leaven leaventh a whole hea p.”
To be great is to bo goo and, to be
goodds‘to ; fee ’.wise, and to bewise is
to know thy self. “Know thv self”
is a precept which ifeLire informed
desenaded from Heaven, mid no
man should allow a full stomach
to invade his breast, and never
mistake 'greenbacks tot principle.
There is nothing that helps a man
to become a Christian and an
honest mail more than a knowl
edge of his own wickedness, de
portment, honesty, caution, and a
desire to do right. Carried into
practice, this is to the human
character what truth, and rever
ence are to religion; although the
vulgar and scoff at them,
such virtue# .can never be re
proached—the conscience always
pronounces its verdict. The most
prosperous and _ happiest people
living are those .’who ’are of firm
and decided principles'and of fair
open conduct, such as, .once lived
in Cox’s district of Mohfoe coun-
ty, on the west • side of Yellow
creek, This neighborhood was
composed of such men as Thos.
Hollis, .Andrew West, William
Scott, Henry Slaton, James Mays,
Thos. Dewberry, James Hardin, * J.
K. Simmons and others. Thos.
Dewberry being the ojiLv one now
living,.’’the others, haying gone
from the gaze ofhuman eyes to
the silent shore.—-. Memory turns
back with delight to . recall their
character their integrity, accuracy,
and ■ promptness, thejr industry
and friendship. They lived as one
always to show
friendship, trust and confidence
without any expressed stipulation
or caution. Gnat one had the
other knew he had to go after it
to get it. Jf one wanted SI,OOOI
and knew the other had it, he
bought land, or anything else, just
as if he had it himself. The
writer receoilects one transa- ti- n
between Andrew We&t and Wil
liam Scott when two thousand
dollars were loaned on unlimited,
time, without note or due bill be
ing given. If one died* owing the
neighbor, he was promptly paid
by the family- of the deceased.
They all lived honestly, and loved
his neighbor? as himself, and
reared large families in respecta
bility ahd left them young men
and women rich in meney, land
and ’ slaves', education, integrity,
economy’ ‘and influence, who so
far as we know, have kept none
other but the society of the wise,
the intelligent and the good, lienee
their reputations' have been more
powerful than the sword, and bet
ter capital than gold. W'hat a
change in this country since the
time when those honored fathers
and mothers taught these honest,
economical ideas to their children.
They are hardly taught now-a-days
that any responsibility rests upon
parents, and many parents after a
view of their voyage through life,
have only to hang their heads in
shame at their utter failure to
teach their children that it is not
dishonest to have rough hands and
sunburnt cheeks, a happy home,
an honest; 1 > ng;and a pure heart.
Colleges in those days were built
by lathers and superintended bv
mothers and every graduate was
turned loose without a bar-room in
his bell yor a billiard table on his
bade So different to this date,
hhe. are oftmi aught now to be
lievl that anything is disgraceful
except a counter jumper, a law stu
dent or professional “big headed”
ladies man—pay no debts, speak to
no one except, college boys and
girls. Compare the corn field grad
of 1850, of this county, to the grad
uate of the State University, Emo
ry an 1 other colleges and see which
can write a contract, it deed or a
letter the quickest and best, which
loves his neighbor the best, which
one carries out his promises the
best arid you will agree with an old
man, who has been on the voyage
some time, that, instead of ‘ im
proving as Christians, honest peo
ple and kind teachers, we are fail
ing from limb to limb, grabbiiig at
at wrong, tackling what we know is
impossible arid ridiculous in the
eyes of such nidi! as remember back
for fifty years. Certainly there is a
great responsibility resting on pa
rents of the pftsent dav and to
make this country what Monroe
coiu;; \ : : times spoken of,
parents will Ly, o to diversify their
teaching more, ox b them honesty,
politeness, industry, economy, tem
■ mice, and sell culture and good
y ’ing will do the balance. And
then this country will be as in .the
start of the voyage-—the best coun
try on the globe.

In loooking over tlie u-
