Our friend F. T. Croft of the S. G.
A N. A. RR. is a man small in stat-
ture, but he has a heart as big as
anybody’s. To paraphrase what
Dr. Watts has so well said, though
a man
May be so tall as to reach the pole,
Or grasp the ocean with his span,
After all he must be measured by his soul
For this is the standard of the man.
The Free Press has been enjoy
ing a little boom this week. Come

yet for a few more names, and with
our power press to work off our

subscribe. $1 in clubs of ten, and
there are a great many clubs
throughout the county, which
parties can join.
Since we commenced feeding our
old cow on cotton seed meal she is
coming out, 'both in her appear
ance and the amount of milk she is
giving. She was a fine subject to
test cotton seed meal on as a feed,
and we are bound to say that it
is all that is claimed
for it for that purpose. Go
t<r Long & Co. and get some
and make your cow happy.
We received a postal card

Porter of this county, to leave At

Dr. Ilallum telLs a good one on
the doctors. He says that Mrs. Mc
Mullen of the Sixth district is 82
years of age and that she never
had a physician with her, nor nev
er took a dose of medicine but once,
until a few days ago she called him
in to prescribe for her. The doctor
says she ascribes her longevity and
remarkable good health throughout
life, te the fact that she never had
anything to do with doctors.
We published a short time since
an account of a man with a silver
skull, living somewhere in Ken
tucky. Mr. George Spence who
read the account says that lie has
a hrother-in law by the name of
Herrin, living in Lee county, Ala
bama whs was wounded in the
skull in the army, and that the
crushed parts were re-placed by a
a silver plate, and that he appar
ently suffers no incovenienee from
it, as he is a farmer and does as
hard work as the av rage laboring
man.
We are advised by a gentleman
who has just returned from an ex
tended trip "through the southern
and southwestern part of this state,
Florida and Alabama, that the oat
crop generally was killed by the
severe freeze. It is a rare occur
rence for Florida to experience such
a disaster and her people are pain
fully apprehensive of a recurrence
of the freeze fearing that a relicti
on of such extremely cold weather
will prove disastrious to their or
ange groves—well nigh the main
dependence of many of her people.

Mr. Editor please make the fol
lowing correction for me, to start
with: In speaking about Mr-
Brown’s Holstein cattle, there ap
peared a mistake in the weight.—
The bull is 21 months old and will
weigh about 1300 pounds; the heif
er or the cow when grown will
weigh sometimes as much as 1800,
but average about 1500 pounds. We
dont want to misrepresent Mr.
Brown’s stock, as we hope they will
be on exhibition here soon, and
then people can see for them
selves, that" they are as Jlarge and
no larger than we say they are.

The State Agricultural convention
meets next week in the city of
Savannah, and the occasion prom
ises to be a pleasant one. Savannah
never does things by halves, and
if we are not very much mistaken
the convention will vote unani
mously after its meeting, that there
is no better place in the State to
hold an agricultural or any other
kind of a convention. Carroll will
send down a pretty good represen
tation, for in addition to the delega
tion representing the agricultural
club, and M. It. R ussell Esq, mem
ber of the executive committee of
the State association, we under
stand that probably the Hon. W-
W. Merrell and Dr. W. W, Fitts
will attend. The News in speak

BV GEORGE 1*. GARRISON, OF TEXAS.
Faraway t<J the south in the yet untra-
versed PacifliC
Stretches a land by th'C foot of adventu
rous man never trodden; «
Low lies its shore, uninviting and beach-
less, and into its marshes
Covered with salt-crust ed sea-grass, the
Ocean goes plashing forever.
Vessels, with merchandise laden, and
bent upon voyages of traffic,
Pass not in sight of its desolate coast,
unbroken by headlands.
From its monotonous surface no inonn-
tain nor hillock arises,
Catching the eye of sailor as climbing
aloft to the topmast
Keenly he glances around him away to
the Southern horizon.
Vast are' its confines unmeasured, and
deep in the heart of this region, *
Ruling a kingdom congenial, the Spirit
of Solitude dwelleth.
Absolute in his dominion this Monarch of
Loneliness governs,
Dreading no rise of revolt nor outbreaking
of rivalry jealous,
Fearing no desperate plot nor assemlMihng
of traitorous conclave
Held in the untracked wilds of tin* glades
and forests gigantic,
Gloomy, and awful to see and to all but
r himself unfamiliar.
Tliroughtout the realm of tins powerful
despot is found no disturber,
None disaffected, disloyal, nor ready to
lead in rebellion.
This is a kingdom indeed that no mortal
ambition would covet,
Revenues there are none that may tempt
the desire of the miser;
Palaces spacious, towering and gilded
with costly adornment
Furnished with vessels of gold and of
silver burnished and shining—
.These will be wanting to such as are fond
of imperial splendor;
Princes delighting in soldiers, in martial
array, and in battle
Jfever could wish for a thone as secure
and as barren of triumph,
Licking the glory of war and void of the
pleasures of conquests.
Here are the reedy coverts and fens belov
ed of the tiger;
Here are wide-spreading tree-tops where
panthers might lie in concealment
Quietly watching the steps of unwary
victims approaching;
Here might the huntsman list for the
stealthy tread of the leopard,
Almost seeing the treacherous glare of
his fiery eyeballs;
Here is the bough over-arching and strong
whence the huge anaconda
Lazily twining about it the sinuous coils
of his body
Well might heavily drop on the deer just
passing beneath him.
Here are the wilds to attract the fiercest
beasts of the forest,
Here might the birds in the foliage merrily
rustle and twitter,
Serpents glide from their holes, and with
anger hiss at their fellows.
Dwellers in swamps that cover the South
•America lowlands
All might be ranging in freedom uncheck
ed through the wilderness ample
Still by their enemy man unmolested,—and
yet they are wanting.
Never a beast in the heart of this ilesolat e
woodland is roaming,
Never a bird is at play, nor a nest in the
uppermost branches,
Never the track of a reptile is traced at
the roots interlacing.
Deathly repulsive the scene would appear
to the mortal beholder
Filling his soul with a shudder at unseen
danger impending—
Terrible dread of the absence of all that
lias power to injure'
Over the uttermost wilds of this land
uninhabited ever
Like the concentrated cure of a legion of
spirits in torment,
Deeper than darkness Egyptian, Silence
eternally settles—
Silence oppressive and lonely profound
as never sat brooding
Over primeval chaos from time's remotest
commencement,
DeejKT than tyrranous Ileatli would allow
in his moodiest moments.
Silence in which, like music, the roar of
the hungriest lion
Sweetly would break on the fearful
suspense of the listener wretched,
Gladsome relief would he find in the
demon howl of the were-wolf.
Light of the sun is there not, nor the
moonbeam’s softer effulgence,
Stars never peep through the leaves
overhead with twinkle and glitter.
Low on the. tree-tops a lead-colored vault
unrifted is lying,
Ever beneath it prevails a twilight pale
and unearthly
One unbroken duration and never by
night interrupted
Coming from God knows where, and so
wierdly enveloping all tilings.
Now and again does the forest divide for
the flight of an arrow
Showing the face of a lakelet stagnant,
waveless and darksome,
Black is its bosom, and on it in ghastly
and terrible contrast
AVater-lillies are floating in whiteness
pallid and awful,
Seeming the upturned faces of victims in
agony murdered;
Over them mournfully lxnidiug the willow
trees stand on the margin,
Sweeping the breast of the inky |x>ol with
their foliage drooping.
On the grey leaves of the willows the
dewdrops thickly are gathered,
Thickly the answering drops on the j
death-hued flowers are resting;
So do the tears that have fallen on pale
dead features of loved ones £
Answer to tears on the cheek of mourners !
