Hayes and the Farmer.
It is told of ex-President Rutherford
B. Hayes, that, while attending school
at Kenyon College, be was in the habit
of taking daily walks into tbe country,
says the Boston Herald. These trips
were shared by two intimate compan
ions, who were of a fun-loving disposi
tion, which frequently got them into
trouble. On one oooosion they more
than met their match as repartee in
an old farmer whom they met on tbe
highway.
The long white beard of the farmer
gave him a patriarchal appearance,
and while he was approaching the
students they arranged to give him a
"jollying,” which eventually terminat
ed in tbe discomfiture of the youths.
One of them doffed bis hat with
groat reverence and respect as be said,
"Good mprning Father Abraham I”
Tbe second saluted the old farmer
and said, "Good morning Father
Isaac!”
Mr. Hayes, uot to be outdone in af
fability and politeness, extended his
band ao bo said, “Good morning,
Father Jacob!”
Ignoring the outstretched band of
Mr. Hayes, tbo old farmer replied :
“Gentlemen, you are mistaken in the
man. lam neither Abraham, Isaac
nor Jacob, but Saul, the son of Kish,
who was sent out to seek his father’s
asses, and 10l I have found them.”

J. T. Mitchell, N. G. Barfield, Ed Elder

Dr. J. T. Gray is still shipping large

Prof. W. G. Brown visited Griffin Tues

Lee Fleetwood Is shipping large quanti
ties of Botan plums to Savannah.
Making the military appointments from
Georgia a matter of politics accounts in a
great measure tor the slowness of enlist
ments. The people are tired of glowing
emptiness. Give the people a chance to
select their own officers-officers worthy
of themselves—and they will enlist. Law
yers and politicians will make as gopd
soldiers as anybody else when they have
gone through the proper discipline, but
they are not likely to get that in positions
they are not qualified to fill.
