An Encouraging ltcport.
Poulan, April 0.—Presuming that
any encouraging reports regarding
extent injury by tho late frosts,
are in order, I may say that wo have
some experience which may be well
to remember. ,
1st. Seodling peaches, bloomed
SJarly and are practically all killed.
Und. Budded peaches in the main
bloom late, and, with several impor
tant varieties have put out sufficient
bloom since the cold to insure a fair
crop.
3rd. Plums, particular of the
Chickasaw class, are able to withstand
as severe a frost and freeze as the re
cent one.
4th. Wild Goose, Marianna and
Roberson, liavo ample fruit left to in
jure a full crop if trues are protected
from ravages of curculio.
5th. The European varieties bloom
in this section so late that they es
caped injury.
If we profit by such losses, our
gains in future may far Mil pass our
present losses.
Yours truly,
J. F. VVii.son.

Mrs. l’lioobe Thomas, of Junction Oily

sumption and that there was no hope for
lier, but two bottles of Dr King’s New
Discovery completely cured her and she
was saved her life. Mr. Tims. Eggere,

ed from a dreadful cold, approaching
consumption, triad without result every

children. By the loss of a job there
became necessary for hint to get
work somewhere else, and he came
to Berrien, and now, his books are
worthless. He must buy another cora-
plutc outfit at the same outlay.
Now that this is, to speak it plain*
, a curse on the poor and an un
necessary tax on the rich, no honest
man will gainsay. But, whoso fault
it? There is entirely too much
Theory and too littlo common sense
practice in the matter of education
and books.
Men were as well informed fifty
years ago as now, as witnessed by
the legal enactments and the execu
tion of them. . There is a recklessness
displayed in regard to the needs of
tho poor laboring people that is a
down-right shame on our boasted
civilization. As it is carried out in
dutail, tho whole school law of the
state is oppressive and unjust, and is
used without any regard to that
eonomy which tho poor are always
obliged to practice.
There arc 27 patrons of Cecil
school with an attendance of 05 stu
dents; these children are supplied
with text hooks at an average cost of
11,00 each. Now it is fair to say
that no school in the country is run
cheaper, Now, figure up tho daily
attendunco, and you have the tax for
school books, and you will begin to
see that the tax paid for school books
in one'year, would set up a good
publishing Iioiisu for Georgia, and if
wisely run, our school books could
be annually supplied thereafter near-
free. Too many doctors have
nearly killed the patient.
Tramps should bo taken up as
soon as they are identified us such.

Eniuna, April 10.—Wo are having
some delightful weather, but ! am
afraid to say that spring is hero; al
though “I’luukott” says "she has
cornu.” I am Inclined to the opin
ion tlml the weather signs are lie-
coining very unreliable, are playing
put, and will scon be a thing of the
past just like lionunt government
Mrs. Regular is now standing in mor-
tol fear of tlio next full moon, (She
lias planted all her bean seed and
they nro “up.” She fears a killing
frost at tho full moon in this month
and when I try to quiet her fears,
she says, “All! think how tho cold
killed my vegetables in Mnroh, and 1
have no way to judge tho future but
by the past,” Why! I will tell you
hut do not wisli her to know that
say so, but she is half-way inclined to
form bur opinions of mo by the
same rule.
Well, I guess England has Wall

root of all evil,” and “man’s inhu
manity to man makes countless mill
ions mourn.” “When the wicked
rulo tho people mourn." The condi
tion of the country point to the facts
in the case. The wicked are ruling
now, and money is tho power behind
tho throne. There is one fact exist
ing now that is that tho laboring
class arc becoming very restless, and
I, for one, must say that I am fear
ful that our beloved land is on the
very verge of an eruption that will
not he oasily qniutod. Our people
have asked for bread and boon given
a stone, asked for milk and been giv
en whoy, asked for a fish and been

The financial condition of the coun
try haa gone below Zero. Why
should our government issue nontax-
able, interest-bearing bonds? Who
will be the purchasers of those bonds?
Why should the raillionair not be
taxed as well as the peasant? If the
peasant haa but a cotton or straw lied
to sleep on and a skillet to cook in,
and fails to pay his tax, his skillet is
taken and sold for his taxes, while
the man with his millions of interest-
heaping bonds hag no taxes to pay on
money so invosted ? These are ques
tions the hard pressed farmers, mer
bantu, manufacturers and others,
would like to havo answered in a sat
isfactory way. (
