T.ie president has appointed Chas. H. J. Ta\lor, a negro lawyer of Kansas but formerly of Geor~ gia, Minister to Bolivia. The Milledgeville Union-Re corder thinks it would be a g<cd thing for the Georgia legislature to re-enact a tax equalization law. While sleeping on a river bank in Florida, a fisherman was sav agely attacked by an alligator, los ing his left loot in the encounter. A young woman who went to the World’s Fair, alter viewing the people in rolling chairs, remarked to a friend that she never saw so many cripplea in her life. A young woman of Kalamazoo, Mich # whose lover was recently sentenced in Toledo for forgery, followed him to jail, procured a license and married him. Cleveland and his cabinet clerks have been in power since the 4th of last March, and about nine-tenths of the offices are still tilled bv Re publicans. That seems to be Cleve- > land’s way of saving the country. But maybe the Republican hold overs are Cleveland Democrats, like Gresham.—lshmalite. Democrats can be united only on the platform. It is absurd to hope for united and vigorous party action on a programme involving the re pudiation ot any of the platform pledges. The papers and the lead ers who are opposing free coinage are making united party action an impossibility. If they will get back on the platform, the day may yet be saved. —Ishmalite. The Argus is and has been all the time and will continue to be a democratic newspaper, but that does not hinder us from denouncing the party leaders, or rather those we*ve put in power, for their slow ness in carrying out the platform on which they were elected. We believe in the Bible doctrine, that whatever the hands find to do, do it with thy might. If the financial matters of the country are to be remedied, let’s have it at once. A country man stopped in front of the editor’s house the other day with a wagon-load of produce. He had some fine country' hams, which he was selling. He asserted that half of tbe cry of hard times was from a chronic disposition to grum ble. One man grumbles because another man grumbles. He said he didn’t know of any actual suffer ing, everybody had plenty to eat and seemed to be enjoying them selves. He iurther exclaimed, the man with plenty at home, with prospect of abundant crops, even if he had but little money, was a free and independent citizen, and didn't ask parties or politics any odds. —Marietta Journal. STAR STORE A WAR STORY. (bv a butts county soldier.) CHAPTER VII. After recovering from the shock I did not feel like making any dis play on the streets of the capitol, so [ boarded the first train that went in the direction of mv command and went back to camps. I then went before the examining board and stood my examination, I re ceived my commission and entered upon the duty that lay out betore me. We remained in camps until sprirg, then started out on the summer campaign. It would con nume too much time and take too much space in your valuaole paper tor me to mention all that I could call to mind, therefore I will only mention a few of the most impor tant incidents. During that campaigu the battle of Chancellorsyille wft3 fought, where that good and brave .man, Stonewall Jackson, lost his life while in the discha-ge of his duty. The yankee army was st’ll trying to get to Richmond and our army met therm at Chan cliorevilie; a.,cl there several brave and good men lay down their lives for their coun try. On the evening the battle commenced we were marching in the direction of where the cannon ading was going on. Stonewall had his command to file to the I f’ and march through woods and plantations for several miles in a different direction to where the fighting was going on. He knew what he was doing, but none of his men knew. He was makii g this movement to get in the rear of the enemy, and he did so; for a lab hour that night we were right into where the yankees were cooking up rations for the next day, and within a short distance of their main 1 ne of battle. We formed a line ol bat tle, and it was here where that noble man, while riding through the woods between the lines, re ceived the fatal wound. The yan kees were nearly surrounded ; but they spent the night in throwing up breastworks and preparing for the next day. ' N On the following morning just as the sun was rising the signal gun was fired, and the order was given for the whole line to make the at tack at the same time. We were to charge their breastworks. The orders were that ve would not fire on them until within fifty yards of their line, and then two men from each company were to fire, and as that would draw their fiie, we were all to fall down and as soon as they fired we were to rise and be on to them before they had time to re load. It worked like a charm ; for we were on to their breastworks in less time than it takes to write this. A great many of them gave up as prisoners, and lots of them took •‘leg bail.” Just here one amusing incident occurred. The yankees were so confident of holding their position that they had laid off their canteens and haversacks, and it was their custom to have a well filled havre sack with ground coffee. It was a great treat for the rebs to get hold of them. We lad in our company a young man who was very' fond of coffee, and the first thing he did after we crossed the breastworks was to supply himself. He was very small, and when he had gotten some half a dozen or more strung around bis shoulders it was about all he could do to travel. But we were still in pursuit of the enemy, they firing back at us and we re- turning the fire; and I always did believe it was some of our own men that wounded the little coffee man. A minnie ball passed through one of his sacks of coflee and took a plug out of his hip. He called to me and said someone had shot him. I told him to go back to the camp, and he replied that he would as soon as he could get more coffee; and he did go back. After ve had run the yankees back to the river, we went back to the turnpike road, all nearly worn out, and it was here the little coffee man came to his company still clinging to his coflee, and we had a feast on sweetened coffee and “hard tack.’' Then we went down to the turnpike to assis: in drivifig the main line back across the river, but before we got to Chao cellorsvilie tbe yankee army was ; o j the retreat and the rebs in pur suit.

We are fully prepared for the occasion and will tell you more about it next week. General Thomas saw some yankees at a house that was in a field off to our left nearly a half mile and he called for volunteers to go and cap ture them. I informed him I would go if he would let me pick my men. He did so. I selected twenty brave men and went through the woods until we got on the back side of the house. We immediately made charge, expecting to do some thing grand, but when we got to the house there were only six yan -1 yees ther? and thev were all sick ; but a fine supply of clrthing and guns had been left with them. All my men who wanted them got a good suit of clothes, and we all took what guns we could carry and the sick yanks and went back to our command. The yankee army re crossed the river, and thus ended mother bloody battle. [Continued next week] “Misery loyes comDany. ,, The financial stringency of which we complain, covers tar more territory than both cholera and yellow fever. The whole of Europe (except, to some extent, France) a large por tion of Asia, all of South America, Noith America and Australia, are down with the same comylaiut. The cause in each place is the same; the effort of the rich to gobble up what they bat. preyiously left to tbe people, and some of them have been badly choked by the effort. — Texas Farm and Ranch. LOOKING SOUTHWARD. Attention is being drawn to the agricultural South perhaps more than eevr, now that such low prices prevail for farm products The fact of being able to profitably cul tivate the ground nearly every month in the year, the mild cli mate, low cost of land and living, and quickness with which the Southern soil responds to scientific farming, all tends to turn the e• es of many farmers toward the beau tiful southland rather than the West.—American Farmer.

GRAPES FOR CIIICAG O We learn that Mr. Hope Tigner, ot Meriwether county, shipped 20- 000 pounds of scuppernong grates to Chicago last week. He has an eight-acre arbor from which he clipped all the grapes with the stems attached and packed then in crates, Mr. Tigner investigated the matter and learned that no scuppernongs had ever been seen in Chicago. He went along with his grapes and expects to realize a large pfofit from his shipment if it reaches Chicago in good condition. —Talbotton (Ga ) New Era.
