The statement that Spain captured uo American as a prisoner of war during the late unpiea-autnees is an error.

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.

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. S. B. BURR, Sr, Barnesville, Ga.
