For several months past we have had but one train a day going north to stop in Jackson and that one at 4:50 a.m. This put our traveling public to great iucouvenieu.es and much complaint was heard. A few days ago our ever accommodating mayor, E. E Pound, took the matter in baud, and after correspondence with the managers of the passenger trains sueceided in having all pas senger trains to stop at our depot.

Or is it a dis ad\antage to the town and the community around ? Does it bring trade to the merchants of the town, and renters to its real estate ownors? If the Jack son Carriage Factory is ail advantage and not a disadvan tage to the town, being a home industry, should it not receive the patronage and encourage ment of the citizens of the town, provided it’s an institution of merit? As to its merits, its pro prietor asks a careful and com plete inspection of all its depart ments, and all the material used in the different, departments, and a strict comparison and test of its products with the products of any other similar institution. And ifthey don’t stand the test of comparison and prove meritori ous then its proprietor don’t ex pect nor insist on your patron age or encouragement. But, kind friend, if they do, speak an encouraging word tor its success, and use no harsh words to injure an institution that is a great factor in building up your town, and as the town builds so dc you, if you are en terprising. Why should the merchants of the town patronize the Jackson Carriage Factory and encourage its success? For many reasons. But two are sufficient: When a g mtleman rides 25 miles to buy a Jack on Buggy he is more than likely to buy something of the merchants, and probably become a regular custoraei. The animal pay-roll of the factory is from $6,000.00 to $8,000.00, and every wade-awake merchant is supposed to get his share of this pay-roll. Why should real estate owners encourage aid patronize the Jackson Carriage Factory? Its mechanics are men who get good wages, and are able and willing to meet their obligations and are good renters. Why should the milliners, dressmakers, hotel-keepeis, liv erymen, ministers, judges, law yers and doctors patronize and encourage the Jackson Carriage Factory? Because it* s a home enterprise of merit, and by aiding to secure its success you may be directly or indirectly aiding yourself. Why should everybody pat ronize and encourage the Jack son Carriage Factory? Because they get nothing hut the best variety of work, and it’s to their interest to do so. A few years ago when embark ing in the carriage business, the Proprietor of the Jackson Car riage Factory determined to build a buggy unexcelled in quality, style and finish by any' manufacturerAn this section; as to how far he has succeeded in this determination, he points with pride to the phenomenal popularity' of the Jackson Buggy and would refer you to the many strong endorsements which it re cedes from those having it *in use. MATERIAL USED IN THE JACKSON BUGGY. WHEELS—Best selected secor.d gmwth hickory, screws in rim to prevent checking, and rims boiled in oil to prevent shrinking. TIRES —Round edge steel. Springs fully guaranteed. AXLEB—Double collar, faulail steel. GEARS —Bust quality, select second-growth hickory to be found in the United States. See samples.

CHAPTER VII. During the summer campaign, notwithstanding we had lost our leader, Stonewall Jackson, we had several others under General Lee, the commander-in-chief of all, that were good ar.d brave men. General Early was a brave man and a good leader. During the 'summer he took Thomas’ brigade one North Corolina brigade of in fantry and one Virginia brigade of cavalry anil left the main army in the Fbennandoah valley and made a raid. In the extreme northwestern part of 7 : rginia we crossed the mountain and on into the Molield valley, then on to Pittsburg There we came in contact with the ei emy, but we attacked them in the night, and they were not expecting any rebs that far away from home, it was a complete surprise to them; so they fell back to the main line around Washington, leaving every thing in the hands of Early and his men. It was a rich haul. We captured 105 wagons and teams, 650 beef cattle, 500 head o’l sheep and meat, flour, coffee, sugar, etc., which was more than we could use. We loaded all the wagons and burned the rest, then made our way back down the valley. It was well that we did so, for the next morning the yankees were after us in full force. But we got back to our command without the loss of a man. While on this trip going over the mountain we stopped at some sul phur springs for the night. J ist as soon as we stopped I stepped off and went to a house in the village for the purpose of getting some thing good to eat. The man of the house was oft in the army, and the good lady told me to come in and she would cook me something to eat. I knew it would not be long until others would be there tor the same purpose as myself, so I told her that she had better close the door and not let them in. She ■took my advice, and as she had a fine looking daughter, just sweet sixteen, I had a fine time. They fixed me a good supper, and when I went to leave they filled my hav resack with fatty biscuits, fried ham, maple Bugar and apple but ler. That was a great treat to a hungry soldier. The boys did come, several of them ; and it was mean in me, fori had told her to tell them that she had a sick man in the house and nothing to eat, so they would have to go somewhere else; but it all worked out very well. The next day I invited the captain to dine with me, and I told him of the trick I had played on the boys. When we were return ing from the raid we camped at the same place, and I tried to play the same trick. I left as I did before and got to the house first, and every thing worked very well until a late hour in the night. While the gool lady was cooking, preparatory to filling my sack again and I making love to the young lady, the captain came and knot ked at the door and wanted something to eat. She told him as she had told at least fifty more, that there was a sick man in the house and that she had nothing to eat. He replied : “Yes, madam ; if you don’t let ine come in I'll burst this door down and I will make that naan sick sure enough !*’ 1 knew his voice and went to the door and let him in. So we all had a hearty laugh over it, and when we left we had rations enough to last three day s. Afu-r returning to ihe command the balance of the summer was spent in mar hing from one point to an< ther, crossing the Blue Ridge from one side to the other and watching the ?eneray‘s movements. At last v e went into winter quar ters at Orion Court House, and as the commission officers had to buy their rations and I did not like to cook, I took mv dinner everyjjday at a private boarding house in the vil lage. us our cam ns were near by, and let me say right here that Mrs Williams -and >Mrs. Jackson, her sibter, were two as noble-hearted ladies as ever lived on this green earth. I will speak of them again, showing their kindness to mo when n time of need; and it is iot strange that such mothers as they were should have such noble hearted and lovely daughters as were Miss May Williams and Miss Lou Jackson. Not only were they very beautiful, but, like their moth ers, were always ready to lend a helping hand in the time ot need, such as none but true cliristian hearted women can do. We staid at this camp for some time during the winter of ’63, and I spent many pleasant hours with those good ladies. At last spring came and with it preparations were being made for another bloody summer campaign. Vegetation was putting out and the boys would gather wild onions, lambs quarter and brier leaves, etc., for greens. One day I was seated near my tent when one of the boys from an other company came by, and he was one of those fellows who tried to be very proper. He called to me. and said : “Lieutenant, come over and lake dinner with me today. I am going to have Svegi tables' for dinner.” “What kind are you going fo have, Henderson,*' I asked. “I am going to haye a variety of them," he replied. But as I had promised Miss Lou to lake dinner with her that day, 1 could not accept his invitation. [Continued next week] only sl25 —Gaze on this. VVe call special attention to our clubbing arrangement with the great southern weekly, the Atlanta Consti tution, which enables us to offer both papers for the remarkably low sum of $1 40 a year. The first duty of every good citizen is to patronize his home paper. He wishes to become thor oughly conversant with his county matters, and only through his home paper can he expect to be supplied with the current county news, which is ot the closest interest to him. After he has provided himself with his home paper his next consideration of those who are not within easy reach of a first-class daily newspaper should be to select a first-class weekly newspaper supplying all the general news ot the world, and paving special attention to features which are of par ticular interest to the household and the farm. Just such a paper is The Weekly Constitution, published at Atlanta, Ga., and having a circulation of 156,000 copies a yveek, the largest of any weekly newspaper published in America. It is essentially a farmer’s paper and stands at the head of the weekly press of this country. Its agricultural department alone is worth the subscription price of the paper, while it numbers among its contributors such well known names as Bret Harte, Mark Twain, Joel Chandler Harris, Sarge Plunkett, Bill Arp, and a host of others, Yvhose rep utations are world wide. Its Yvomen auu childien’s departments are pre pared with a special view to please the little folks and the women, and its news columns literally cover the face of the earth. We ate enabled to offer both papers at practically the price of one, and we will take great pleasure in forwarding to The Constitution any names sent us iu connection with our clubbing oiler at the remarkably low price above giv'en.

SCODRGEDjmCNSWICK Miss Dart’s Case Has at Last Been Announced. CUSTOM HOUSE OFFICIALS SICK. The Postoftlee Force Is Badly Run Down. Jekyl Island Has Been Invaded by Yellow Fever—Official Washington News. Washington, Oct. 3.—Advices receiv ed at the marine hospital bureau from Surgeon Murray, at Brunswick, Ga., state that 12 new cases of yellow fever are reported—lo white and two colored. One case has been declared at St. Simon's Island, due to violations of the principles of “daylight” communication. Others, he says, will probably occur. Persons on St. Simon's Lslaiapme allow ed to go to Brunswick during™ ie day to transact business, but are not allowed to remain in the city over night, as the chances of catching the fever are greater after dark. The man who was taken with fever violated this regulation. Surgeon Murray also reports one death from yellow fever at Jesup Saturday. The diagnosis proved by all tests, and all the physicians now agree that it was yel low fever. A dispatch received at the bureau from Surgeon Geddings, at the detention camp, states that the case of yellow fever reported there Saturday has turned out to be malarial fever. Fever on Jekyl Island. Brunswck, Oct. . —-Th ere are four cases of yellow fever to date on Jekyl island, all isolated and under control. All communication with the clubhouse, three miles distant, is cut off. Surgeon Faget and Local Physician Hugh Brad ford have control of the cases. The germs were carried in a pile of bedding recently moved from Bruns wick to Jekyl. Surgeon Faget says that after frost falls, all danger on Jekyl will be over. Miss Dart lias It. The announcement is officially made by Surgeon Murray that Miss Orilla Dart, a Brunswick refugee on St. Si mon’s island, has yellow fever. Her brother, Eugene, also has a well de veloped case that will soom be officially reported. Miss Dart contracted her case by coming to Brunswick and entering a house_ that had been closed for several weeks. There are about 600 Brunswickiau re fugees on St. Simon’s, and other sickness prevails. A general outbreak may be expected there. No objections will be raised to Jesup citizens going to a camp of detention. Surgeon Murray advises them to stay at home, but will open the camps to them if desired, Jesup has only about 1,000 population, a large part of whom are railroaders— necessarily a floating one. FEARFUL STORM. Mobile’s Terrible Experience With Wind and Flood. Mobile, Ala., Oct. 3. A fearful storm has been raging here during the morn ing. The hurricane is increasing in violence every moment, and is blowing the roofs off of buildings and leveling trees all over the city. Telegraph poles are being blown down in every direction, and the city is in hourly danger of being cut off from communication v. ith the outside world. In the Western Union telegraph office the water is already up into the batteiy room and is rising fast. Much of the lower section of the city is flooded. The water is being blown up from the bay by the fearful wind. It is reported that the Louisville and Nashville road is badly washed in sev eral places, and that the Biloxi bridge has been canned away. Important Iron Ore Deal. Knoxville, Oct. 3.—lt is currently re ported that the Bessemer ore trust has secured control of the famous magnetic iron ore property in Mitchell county, N. C., known as the Oranberry mines.

Henry Stevens, the celebrated American book collector, who made his home in London, was seven long years in finding a perfect copy of the ‘'Bay Psalm Book," the New England metrical version of the psaims printed at Cambridge in 1640. The only copy in England was a per fect one at the Bodleian library, which was mentioned .in the cata logue without distinction among the other psalms in verse. Mr. Stevens had often reverently handled this book, but had never spoken of it to the librarian, think ing, as he said, that when he had se cured a copy for himself “it would be time enough to acquaint the learned doctor that lie was enter taining unawares this angel of the new world.” One day, however, on looking over an auctioneer’s stock, ho came upon the lost Benjamin, clean r.rnl unspot ted. He instantly closed the parcel, which had been described in the cat alogue as “Psalms —1680 to 1675,” and tightened the string just as the man came to lay it on the table. A cool determination nor veu him, and.advancing to the table he began the bids in a perfectly neutral tone by sixpence. They went on by six pences until half a crown had been reached and the auctioneer had loosened the string. He took up every volume of which Mr. Stevens was in search and turned to him to say: “This looks like a rare edition, Mr. Stevens. Don’t you think so ?” Thereupon he raised the Lid 5 shil lings. Then a spirited competition arose, until finally the lot was knocked down to “Stevens” for 19 shillings. He called out “Delivered!” with more energy than discretion and tucked the little volume in his pocket, leaving the other seven in the package to take the usual course, whereupon someone asked curi ously: “What rarity have you got now?” “Oh, nothing,” was the reply, “but the first English book printed in America.” There was a pause in the sale while every one took a look at the victor. “There has evidently been a mis take!” cried a jocular voice. “Put up the lot again!” “No,” said Mr. Stevens. “If tho former owner did not recognize tho prize he had won, as he has shown by selling it for 3 shillings, certainly the cataloguer might be excused for throwing it away into the hands of the right person, to rescue, appreci ate and preserve. I am fully re warded for my long and silent hunt of seven years.”—Youth’s Com panion. Had a Lead Pipe Cincli. “I say,” began the juvenile man, “that was a lead pipe cinch which Bob Graham had, wasn’t it?” “What's that?” asked the leading villain, who was smoking a ciga rette. “Why, he’s made a pot of money.” “Who, Bob? Where is lie?” asked the other excitedly, looking up and down the street. “Gone. He’s on the road with the ‘After the Ball’ company. You see Boh was expecting something to hap pen in his family, and he made a hook on the event. When he count ed up, he found he had $250 on the hoy end of it and $175 on the girl. Then he weakened and raised the girl side to $250, too, so he wouldn’t lose.” “Well, how did he make any thing? I don’t see” “Make anything! You’re dead slow. I tell you he’s a natural book maker. Ten days ago he got a tele gram from his wife.” “What difference did that make?” “They were twins.”—New York Herald. Corsets For English “Lady Paupers.” One of the English newspapers re cently got quite excited over the management or, as it asserted, mis management of the Mile End work house. One of the leading items of the list of charges was that the cor sets which were supplied to the ‘ ‘lady paupers” were bought for 2s. 6d. a dozen or about 5 cents each. Inves tigation, however, proved that the lady paupers had not been subjected to the indignity of weaving 5 cent corsets as their only visible sup port, for the managers c "A ivoly proved that they had i .- <! a luxurious article costive .over 35 cents.
