The statement that Spain captured
uo American as a prisoner of war
during the late unpiea-autnees is an
error. She did. rea y, capture and
hold one in close confinement, and he i
has on y recently been released. He j
was a drummer for a San Francisco’
home, and was in the Cart .in- I-’a-.Js I
selling goods when the war broke on', ■
Hie patriotism was better than h s ,

ted Stales wou d ‘lit k the -luffin’

made the Spania r d. of the Car- inee
mad, and they c apped him into jail I
as a prisoner of war. News travels
slowly from the Carolines hence the I
drummer bad teen in jail ' for several
months before tis predicament was

stay in jail several mouths more be

PEOPLE WHO GAMBLE.
Chinese and Italian!* Kapecinlly A4-
dieted to Games of ( hnnee,
Os all the nations of the earth who
, gamble —and they all do it more or less
—the Chinese come in an easy first
Superstition and the gambling mania
go in double harness, and while the
mandarins fiy kites to decide what
ahould be done about Wei-Hai-Wei and
Talien-Wan the humbler Celestials gam
ble for dear life to pass the time away
“The Chinese play night and day,”
says a traveler, “till they have lost all
they are worth, and then they usually
go and hang themselves. ” from which
it would appear that the yellow danger
is not so formidable after all.
The Chinese laborers in the United
States squander their earnings in a
game called “white pigeon’s ticket.”
White, by the way. is the unlncky color
for the gamer and the lucky one for
the keeper of the caminn h -use. These
gentry keep orange j»-. l in a box, be
lieving that it will bring them luck.
The Italians are no les-superstitions,
and they gamble persi.-tt ntly. the poor
p.. p1... in til- 1 g"Vernment
lotteries. Everything has a number: a
cat. a d a gondola, and the “Libro
dei Sogno - the 1- tto player’s oracle —
will tell yon what the number is and
the rules for interpreting the appear
ances in dreams. Visitors to Venice,
which has alway- 1-- n a stronghold of
gambling, may have se- n the declara
tion "f th- winning rigur from the
Campanile - f St. Mark’s -the silent,
eager crowd gathered in the square and
the group of .-fficials gathered round
the boy with the bandaged eyes who
draws the numbers from the cage.
There is a story told in Veuic-ef a
madman who hailed a g ndolier from
the window of the rnadh-on the is
land t> tell him the r.niiit-rs he had
dreamed. The man put his money on
them and wn. and. f: i that day to
this the gondoliers g-, near the window
as they pas.- in the 1. o- that the mad
man will call again. The ,-tory is true.

LAND POOR.
A Scheme to Give Every Man a
Farm, by a Person Who is
Land Poor. i
<
Mr. Editor : Some years ago I took an ■
idea that land was the safest investment ;
that a man could make in Georgia, and as
a consequence, I am now land poor; have
more fhan I can profitably make use of,
and consequently want to get rid of some,
or all of it, and I have decided to adopt
tbc following measure to get rid of it:
I will say, in the first place, that the
land is the best in Monroe county, is fine
| ly watered, and is adapted to raising cat-
I tie, sheep and hogs, and is the best for
cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other grain?
in the county. There are a number of
tenant houses on the place, and a home
recently built that c .st me over $3,000 to
I build. The land, in the first place, cost
me from $25 down to $4 per acre—saying
altogether,about $lO per acre, without
I improvements ; and to get rid of it, I will
> average the whole place at $lO per acre,
1 in the following way : I will have the
entire place, 1,600 acres, sub-divided into
50-acre lots, at $lO per acre, giving more
than 50 acres to one party, if desired, and
less than 50 to another, according to his
ability to pay for it, as the case may be,
: the entire quantity to be drawn for.
In other words, the number of lots and
quaniity of land to be put in a hat or box,
and drawn out under approval of a com
mittee of gentlemen, at some state-! time,
so that all shall Lave a thir chance to get a
home at a low price, and no one has a
chance of losing their m >ney, or failing to
get their value, as paid, rind ■ me get a
I farm at far less than cost
The land is 12 miles fr >m Macon, a city
of some 50, ; -uii or tf.i;. e •> people, and is
i adapted to n .iket gardening, and for
-
I it offers a fine opy rtunity tor a colony of
| energetic citizens.
It is all together, and would make a fine
settlement, having the Lest of pastures,
water, springs, creeks, etc. The land is
timbered with hickory, teach, oak and
pine, and some cellar; in fact, it is the best
place I know of, and I am satisfied the ed
itor of the Call will vouch for what I
say.
I would be glad to have any parties who
! mean business, to go over the plantation,
familiarize themselves with the advan-
I tages, and communicate with me at
i Barnesville, before going into the matter,
I assuring them that I mean what I say. |
I have also a farm of 50 acres near ‘
Barnesville for sale.on good terms.
In addition to the term.- rlered ab we. I 1
have c included to make the terms of pay
ment in four annual payments without I
interest, whi- h is tantam "Jnt to putting I
the price of the lan.l very low. The
titles to the land have L-en in the p ----- -
sion t one or two parties f r years, and
have never teen questioned and are as I
go xl a* cold.
