Corn and Bacon.
At this early date our farmers have
commenced to haul out bacon aud
corn. These are two products produc
ed on the farm that are the most im¬
portant. Why will our farmers neg¬
lect this part of their business and
give all their attention to the culture
of cotton? The sales of the last cotton
crop will no doubt show them, the
folly of their ways. The cotton crop
of this section was the largest ever
produced, and the growers will realize
lesss benefit, than from any previous
crop.
Insane.
Mrs. James Edge of this county, was
carried to Milledgeville Tuesday, and
placed in the cYsyknn. Ill health
caused her mind to become over bal¬
anced, and therefore it was found
necessary for the safty of heiself, and
those around her, that ’she should be
confined. Softe years ago tins lady’s
mind was effected, but after being
carefully treated by the physician at
Asylum, she improved sufficiently to
be brought home. Blit since that
time the complicated diseases have re¬
turned.

Honey Raising.
This businesses looked upon by the
majority of people as being one of
small profit, but it would astonish you
to know what a large profit could real¬
ized for such a small amount of labor.
The time required to attend to several
hives of bees would not be missed.
Honey finds ready sale at 10 and 121
cents per pound, and the money is
almost clear, as there is little or 110
expense attached. We have often
wondered why some of our enterprising
farmers did not turn their attention to
this business, and see if it wouldn’t
beat raising cotton at seven and eight
cents per pound.

Six Brothers.
At the commencement of the late
civil war, there lived in South Carolida
a family 0 six brotheis and all whom

Through the long weary years
of battle they stood bravely at the
post of duty, and it strange to say not
a one of them were kiilled during the
great struggle. At the close of the
war they scattered over various states,
During this last Christmas the family
had a reunion at the old homestead in
South Carolina. All six of the broth
ers were present, and appearently in
good health. Just 24 years ago these
brothers bid each other farewell, and
last December was the first time they
have met since, One of the number
leaides in the lone star State The
last parting was no doubt a sad one,
as it n °t Uke that they will eyer meet
again on thi3 earth.

STFPHENS AND THOMPSON.
A Story of the Great Commoner
and the Savannah Editor.
“Were yon on admirer of Alexander
H, Stephens?” asked Col. Tom Bur¬
ney last night.
“Yes, sir—why?”
“Because I want to give you a lit¬
tle incident about him which may be
of seme interest.”
“Out with it!”
I wish that I could reproduce her j I
the capital manner in which Tour j
who is a superb raconteur—theu tola
this interesting story: i
“You know Col Thompson, who,
for years was the cluet editor of toe
...
“Never mot him except m print—
‘Major Jones' Courtship,’ editorially j
and all that kind of thing, you know.” •
“That reminds me,” said Tom, “I
have been in the little old house many
a time down in Morgan county,
which he wrote the Courtship, But
let that go.
“A few years before Col. Thompson
died, 1 had the plearsure of riding on
the cars with him from Thomasville
to Savannah. lie was one of the most
entertaining men who ever lived, you
Know, and on that particular occasion
was in a talkative mood so we sat up

while I did most of the smoking and

and , among them was .1 this. ■
“ -Some years ago,’ , said he, ‘I , went ,
abroad, . , and , a short , . .. time , before , ... taking
ship I went to see my friend Alexan¬
der 11. Stephens. Upon taking leave
of him he remarked:
“ ‘Thompson, here’s a letter tb t
may or may not do yon some good ”
“ ‘L thanked him and glanced over
the letter. It vvas addressed, ‘ To
whom it may concern.” and in it the
old gentleman spoke very kindly of
your humble servant, 1 put the let

“ ‘It was not my purpose to m ike
an extended tour, but simply to devote
a few weeks to London and Home.
Paris was not on my programme. !

to a London Banker, and after spend
ing some time very plesantly in t hat
great city, I drew enough money to
aeep me going in Home for about two
week, and departed for the Etern;
city.
“ ‘A short time after my arrival,
fell in with oneof the *'ohl brigadiers
as they call the guides down there. I
was a polite old fellow and very 1
complished—speaking i-veral la
guages. including English, which ’
spoke with great fluency. lit provi
a veiy entertaining companion, wen
with me everywhere, showed me every
thing worth seeing, in fact, ccntribnt
ed in many ways to the pleasure of tn;
visit.
“ ‘After “doing” Romo prett
thoroughly lie said to me one day:
•‘ ‘Of course you are going to Paris
We will go toget her. I know Paris
just as well as I know Home, and will
take plearsuie in showing you tliiough
the city.”
“ ‘I explaned to him that my lettei
of credit was in London; tlint I had
brought along only enough funds to
defray my expense in Home, and
couldn’t think of going to Paris.
11 t At th is tie simply bowed his head
and said nothing.
ti 6 The next day I met him on the
street, and after a cordial greeting he
said:
“ ‘Come with me, Mr. Thomi.sou, I
wish to introduce you to a friend.”
It l After walking arm-in-arm a few
blocks, we turned into a little street
and entered a pecultar looking little
place, which I saw at a glance was a
bank. Passing down a narrow pas¬
sage, we entered a small doorway
leading into an elegantly furnished
room
“Its sole occupant—a splendid look¬
ing old gentleman, with curely gray
hair—arose from his easy chair, greet¬
ed us with effusive courtesy, and peg¬
ged us to be seated. 1 cannot rumem
her the name of the old Italian banker,
but can never forget his fine lace. He
spoke English beautifully.
“We chatted pleasantly for a few
minutes, when the old brigadier re¬
marked:

“But, understand me. He did not
come to ask for a favor. He called

"An almost fatal attack of L.i Grip
pe, last winter left me with nasal
catarrh and such susceptibility to
bronchial irritation that the slightest
exposure would develop it, and a very
little efifoxt. in public speaking would
result in a distressing hoarseness, so
that 1 had serious fears of permanent
disability.
“Besides I suffered with dyspeptic
troubles- notably what is popularly
