You ask to-night my daughter’s hand As you would request a toy— Do you know the weight of your demand On a mother’s heart my boy ? You say you love her wildly, well, Will it last until the end of time, Or will the ring of the wedding bell Resound its dying chime ? The heart you crave is a holy tiling, So tender trusting, devotion true bring ; Can you to her As warm as her’s to you ? Will you love her through the changing vears As tenderly as pale, now. sorrow'sjtears When ills shall or Becloud her sunny brow ? When age shall bow her graceful form And bleach her jetty hair Will you protect her through each storm, And shelter her from care ? When time shall dim her sparkling eye, And winter furrows snow, Will your love be the last to die ? If not, I answer no. Remember that her future life Would every day be yours wife ; A loving woman, when a To one that she adores Has no existence of tier own Apart from him she loves ; She lives henceforth for him alone, And inch’s orbit moves. J So if your love w'U live and burn, And bless her future years ; If you wi’l give her in return The trust that hfejendears ; If you will guard her destiny An 1 shield her from distress, Will always live adoring her, Why, then, i answer yes.

On Sunday morning the dead negro was found shot through the body, lviug ’n the public r«ad, lieai the lesi dence of Mr. John Baston, and not far from Appling. Three other negroes,La ry Gibson and his son. and George Moreland, who left Appling about 11 o’clock Saturday niglit in company with Jake, were suspected, and, beiu^ questioned, admitted that they were returning home with Jake, as stated, when they were halted in the road by several mounted men, one of whom shot and killed Jake, and they (tlie prisoners) ran and escajied. They were caretui however to say nothing about the killing until Sunday, when they were arrested and questioned. This and other circumstances point to the negroes themselves as the murder ers. and accordingly the} were lodged n jail to await further developments. CEAWFOEDVILLE, GA, FRIDA Y, NOVEMBER 9th, 1883.

One of the greatest in¬ ventions of the century—the cotton gin—originated in this county. Mr. William D. Smith, of tiiis coun¬ ty, had a mare to run away with a plow and injure.herself so greatly 011 Tues¬ day that she had tj be killed. Two little negro chihhen were burn¬ ed to death in this county last week. One on Capt.J. J. Grafton’s place was left in the house where there was a lire, and its clothes catching, it rap. out in¬ to the yard. It was very badly li.i’.llarks- burned and died next day. On Mr. dale’s place several children were left in ajhouse by their mother, when and she very soon heard them screaming, ran to see joue of them burned nearly to a crisp. It died in an hour or two. Each of these children were between two and three years old. Down in Lincoln county, a few nights ago a white man, Mr. John Marlin was shot and severely wounded by a negro named Mark Justiss. Mr. Martin sus¬ pected that some thief was stealing his cotton and was on watch at night, when he saw some man; coming into the gin house. He ordered him to halt, and had hardly spoken when the negro fired on him with a siiot gun.

Advantages of Advertising. 1 >Y G. O. ROBINSON, ES(J. Fioni the Chrou. & Con. Fifth Trade Issue. In compliance with your request I send you my views on advertising: I he advantages of advei Using aie so potent that it becomes indispensable to the success of every business. There are so many methods and ways ot ad¬ vertising that it is well to know the best. I have experimented and tested every kind, and am free to say the daily and weekly presj is incomparably supe¬ rior to ali others combined. I have reference to a continuous un interrupted advertisement from year to year. No business can derive much benefit from spasmodic efforts.

The problem has Ix-eri grap pled with by a Forthampton (Pa ) coun ty jury and solved apparently to its own satisfaction. A plaintiff in a breach of promise case declared that her fickle lover had kissed her a littie over 100, oOO times, whereupon, the jury rendei ed a verdict in her favor of 81,008.33 oni as the foreman stated, one cent for each kiss. Taken all in all, this is not an excess ve tax for a thing which may Le classed among the uxurie3 of life. GENERAL NEWS.
