With a kiss from her lips at night. Sonnet and story—trace them well. In beautiful lines and bright; But the tonrtercst thought in my heart will dwell % On the kiss from her lips at night.

Some Daring Deeds During the Civil War. STEALS THE GENERAL’S BEST HORSE. He was Demanded to Show His Papers hut Showed a Pistol and then Escaped. Among the many brilliant figures whose gallantry and daring won only local celebrity in North Carolina dur¬ ing the war, none was more con¬ spicuous than O’Neal, the scout. Ac¬ complished and daring, yet he was wholly unknown beyond the limit of his field of action. He was a hand¬ some man, tall muscular and grace¬ ful, a fine swordsman, a capitol shot and one of the best riders that ever put foot in a stirrup. He never forgot a road or the lay of the land, and he always remem¬ bered a face or a voice. For the rest he was cool, quick-witted, quiet and observant. During the time that my command was in eastern North Carolina I frequently served as a scout with O’neal and not sol dom accompanied him into the ene¬ my’s lines especially about the time that General Hoke made his march against New Berne. In that town lived a pretty woman who was a great friend of O’Neal, and who was also much admired by General Terry, the commandant. m Union tdTO&ra»<T 8 iawSBe« Miss-for patriotic reasons, accept ed the attentions of the general, and betrayed his confidences unscrupnl ously to O’Neal. Whenever there was a ball given in the city O’Neal attended if possible. Superbly uni formed as a federal officer or plainly dressed as a citizen, he invariably monopolized Miss-, to the great chagrin of General Terry, who rel ished a bit of flirtation with a pretty woman as much as most men. On one occasion, when O’Neal had absorbed the lady’s attention. Gen¬ eral Terry came up and abruptly de¬ manded his name and regiment. O’Neal was masquerading as a eap tain in a ne wly arrived regiment, and gave the required information with¬ out a moment’s hesitation. But Gen¬ eral Terry’s suspicions had evidently been aroused, and lie demanded to see his papers. O’Neal measured lum with a cool stare and then said quietly: “This is a very singular demand, General Terry, but if you will ac company me to the hall, where I left mv overcoat, I think I can satisfy you.” singular oli General Terry, with tuseness, if he really had any sus pieions, went with him. There were only a few soldiers standing near the oor, and they were absorbed, wateb halirooiii. Now it chanced that O’Neal vs hung Iris coat > v door. He . near the outer hand into the pocket saying: “I hope tbis will settle the qiu-s tion satisfactorily, general,” and as he withdrew it he brought the heavy barrel of a navy revolver with stun I'"* t “ 8 « fhp head rE i- of the doubting general, and, dashing at tot. speed through the open door, turned ,c«n, OT » 8 . ll ,V,,.-, 1 „«»rfU.Io,c ; panic to saoeiao. , On another occasion his audacity took a bolder flight. General Terry owned a superb mean.-colored thor horse, which he valued so highly that he had it cared for a scion of royalitv. — O’Neal had a passion for ho.-scs, an*i wanted it, and bets ran high, in camp as to how soon he would ride in on the thoroughbred. One day an awkward, “sandhill tacky,” dressed in as-dyed jeans and wearing large Bilver-rimmed spectacle*, himself at Terry’* headquarters lie ,\v* Ii ■ %■ r ■ M c m o c v al $ THE FARMERS’ SUCCESS | j j Q 0eg Not Dep end Only Ujtflj t&m Legislation. j py^ SUFFICIENT FOOD CROPS, Aud Raise Meat With Cheaper Food than Corn.

To a close examination he gave such unquestionable evidence of good faith, soitbrams and “buf falo” loyalty that the pass was given him amid much chaffing, and al Terry asked him how he meant to travel. “On a erittur,” he answered. “A horse, 1 suppose you mean. Well, where is he ?” “Hitched out thar in the street,” said the cracker, pointing to a small fuzzy, indescribably wretched-look¬ ing little Banker pony. “Why, you don’t expect to ride twenty miles on that miserable brute, do youasked the general. “Thirttt 1 kin swap him for a bet¬ ter,” was the reply of the old man as he shambled awkwardly out of the room. About two hours before dawn a man riding a superb cream-colored horse presented himself al the out¬ posts, showed his permit from Gen¬ eral Terry and was allowed to pass through the lines without qcation, and Three hours later both horse and rider were safe in the confederate lines. When Terry’s hostler went in the morning to feed and groom the mag¬ nificent charger he found instead a small and most wretched-looking Banker pony fastened with a rope halter, to which was attached it card bearing this inscription: : “Swapped for a better,” and : ; left for General Terry with the ; : compliments of O’Neal, Scout, ! : ; C.

Used with cotton-seed meal, ... the proportion o one pound of meal to four pounds of hulls, they have been found at the N orth aro lma Experiment Station to form a profitable feeding rat.on for steers. We take the following details from - press bulletin issued by Lb. Hat •z. «• , . lour steers tod at N. L. expen ...... an average during tins time 7 Hffis of m«il, which ,s almost ex aetly in proportion of 1 lb. meal to 4 of hulls. The average gain for each steer was 118 lbs., and the total cost for food was 80.85 each. The gam in weight and the increased value of thc beef over the original cost gave an average profit of the above steers of 89,88 per head in cash. The val ue of the manure ,n addition will doubtless pay for all thc trouble." The roasting of the seed is advised by those who have used them for feeding hogs, and several machines have been introduced for the purpose.

CllAWFOROVILLE, GEORG ID AY, SEPTEMBER 11,1891. ATLANTA DEFEATED AND! NOT THE SOLDIERS. The papers of Georgia have been full of abuse the past week or two about the action of the Legislature in net accepting the Sol¬ dier’s Home tendered them by the people of the State through its prop¬ er officers. It will he remembered that the move to get up this Home was orig mated in Atlanta, by the late Mr. Grady, and at that time our position was against the aid of the old sol diers in that way. There are so few who would attend a home a fancy poor house as it would be- -that we looked upon the move as a costly one for the real benefit it would do the needy soldiers of our state. There is not an old Confederate veteran in this county to-day who would leave his family, home and neighborhood to go to Atlanta and be penned up m a city“ home t’ov the few destitutes.” Their pride is too great: and their deep love for the dear ones with whom they have lived before and since the war is too strong to be trampled for (ho sako of a lew oaves of bread and a few clothes with which to keep out the cold. Their love i’oi homes and dear ones was shown in their efforts to win the victory for their cause. They offered their lives then to de¬ fend their homes and people, and non they will spend the few remain ing years of their lives in these eliei- i she,! homes, and accept gladly any gift the. State may give rather than be separated from these fond ties. I’ho old soldiers who have no homes nor friends in (lie State are very few and many of them would Home would naturally be.

We don’t the idea of the State’s paying more money for the lino of officers run the Home than is really receiv¬ ed by those who need aid. It is a well known fact that At¬ lanta has heretofore had the Legis¬ lature hy the horns—or by some other good hold—and that city lias never before been defeated in any matter of that kind which she want¬ ed the Legislature to do. And to a great measure this single idea de¬ feated the acceptation of the soldier’s Home. Wo firmly believe that if the building had been in any other city in the State, the Legislature would have accepted it. It, was not tho old soldier that was aimed at in this defeat, but it was the great city of Atlanta that has always wanted everything and generally got what she asked tho Legislature for. Can we wonder that this great wail, which started in the papers by the people of Atlanta, caused such a fuss? Still we do not hold that the ac¬ tion of the Legislature was wholy right. The people of thc State have a right to be indignant at the blunt action of the lower house of the Assembly. They either should have offered a substitute for the de¬ feated bill or else have enacted anoth¬ er immediately that would have met the wants of the needy soldiers. Wo are not in favor of leaving them Pi the mercy of the cold world. A substitute by Mr. Sibley, of Cobb, was sent in and, according to our views of the ease, is the bill that would do the soldiers the most good. The substitute provided for an “appropriation sufficient to the needy confederate soldiers of the State, $100 to be given to each one. actual¬ ly entitled to it, that lie might re¬ ceive the benefit of it at home and with Ids family.” Tho shame that falls upon the Legislators’ heads is that they voted down the only bill before them to aid the needy soldier and did not consider a substitute. For this they deserve great censure. Tins'os that try to run without tin aid of the State pr* will always meet with the same fate the Stale Fair did. “It has soured,” says a neighbor. ! *TBB BlMCtBAT* IS THE Best Ad’vt Medium IN i Middle Georgia $1,25 Per Year NO. 37.
