GRIFFINI GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 21 1888
!
When I’m in the Tens,
When I’m in the onc9 I cm fiolic all the day,
I can laugh, I can shout, I can run about and
play,
But when I’m in the tens, l must get up with
the lark,
And read and sew and practice from early
morn ’till dark.
When I’m in the twenties I’ll be like sister
Jo,
I’ll wear the sweetest dresses and maybe
have a beau;
I’ll go to balls and parties and wear my hair
up high,
And not a girl in ail the town will bo as gay
as l.
When I’m in the thirties, I’ll lie just like
mama,
And maybel’ll be married to a splendid big
papa;
I’ll sew, and cook, and bake, and grow a lit¬
tle fat,
But mama is so s weet and good I won’t ob¬
ject to that.
And what comes after thirty? The forties,
mercy my!
When I get as old as forty, I think I’ll have
todio !£
But like enough the world won’t last until I
see that day,
It is so very, very, very, very far away.

THE GEORGIA MIDLAND.
A Reply to the Atlanta Constitution's
’ New York Special.
The Columbus Enquirer Sun
copies the New York telegram
which appeared in the Atlanta Con -
stitution of the 18th in«t„ and which
has already appeared in the News,
referring to tbe alleged proffered
sale of the Georgia Midland to ‘the
East Tenuessee system, and then
makes the following salty cud sag
gestive reply:
Probably no more unjust, uncall¬
ed for, and untruthful a telegram
ever appeared than the one above.
The Georgia company’s special rail
road reporter, in New York, has
over stepped the mark in bis zeal
for his pet system.
Iu the course of a conversation
with a gentleman who is well up
in railroad matters yesterday in ref
erence to the above telegram he
made in substance, the following
statement: The truth about tbe
matter is this: The president of
East Tennessee railroad made tbe
overture for the purchase of this
property. He had it carefully ex¬
amined by experts of bis own cboos
ing, who favorably reported upon its
condition and prospects, declaring
it entirely able to earn its interest,
from business now in sight. No
representative of the Georgia Mid>
land offered control’* as this tele*-
gram states. Tbe control of the
bonds and stock of this railroad is
in the hands of a syndicate, aDd this
syndicate's representatives did all
the talking there was. These rep
resentatives in New York, we learn
arc F. P. Olcott, president Central
Trust company ; A. Backer, capital
ist; R. A. Lancaster, banker; they
represent a pool of the majority of
the bonds and stock under an agree
ment to let the securities so remain,
interest or no interest, for five
years.
They naturally asked a guarantee
of the bonds, if it would pass into
new control, and a reasonable price
for the stock. The Georgia Midland
railroad was opened for business
about October 1, 1887. It has nev
er, any month Bince, failed to earn
80 per cent, of the entire interest
charge, and far more than the inter¬
est on tbe outstanding bonds. The
officials of this company assure us
the business of the present month,
so far, has exceeded like days in last
month about 27 per cent. Their
business will, as soon as they are a
few months older, and things get
settled down to a regular channel,
and the Columbus Southern is com 1 '
pleted, be ample to satisfy the most
exacting. This telegram is but part
of tbe announced scheme of those
whoso toes are trodden upoD, to see
the “new road sold at auction." Dr
Felton, in his great speech on the
railroad commission, spoke of tbe
Georgia Central as the “Pbarioh’*
midwife who strangled the new¬
born in delivery." It is well enough
for our people to remember that tbe
Columbus Southern is under con¬
struction. It may suit the Atlanta
paper to promulgate telegrams etna
Dating from the octopus of the rail
road system of the state, but the
proprietors of that journal should
make up their minds to kiss good
bye to their Atlanta and Florida in
vestment when the squeezing pro
gramme is fully inaugurated by tbe
older systems. Development will
cease when garbled facts ate used to
stagger investment. It m >y not be
known to all onr readers, but it is
true, that there are parties who are
in both tbe boards of directors of
tbe East Tennessee and the Central
systems. As the investment of the
Central is in stock, and in the other
bonds, it is natural that telegrams
depreciating encroachments on Ceu
tral's claimed domain, shonld find
their way into the pnblic prints.
The men who undertook the con
struction of tbe Midland have given
the people a road, in all its details,
second to none in the south. It is
largely with Hie people themselves
bow such a road should be patron
ized. Oar citizens, both here and iu
Griffin and along tbe line, should
stick to the Midland. Give competi
tion a chance. We have no comity
against any railroad, bnt wo believe
in a lair deal, competition, develop
ment of tbo state and the honest
troth.
Gardening.
Of all ibe pleasant pastimes ibat
afford profitable recreation, none can
excel gardening. Aside from the
most healthful exercises, there is a
satisfaction beyond compare in eat
ing the fruits of one’s own labor. The
universal law of compensation finds
a sweet expression in the enjoyment
of the bread eaten in the sweat of
one’s own blow. A man cultivates
contentment and cheerfulness togeth
er with his garden, if he euters with
vigor into the manual labor. It is
believed that Anteua was a husband
man, and that striking the ground
with his implements gave him tbe
strength to cope with Hercules. Be
sides, such open air exercise contrib
utes to ibe strength of characler
and an equable temper. Man is as
uependent upon sunshine and air for
the development of a sweet disposi
tion and bright coloring of bis life,
as the flowers that grow in the fields.
Mothers appreciate this and send
their little offspring out for airing
and a sun bath on every anspicions
occasion. A noted German writer
was wont, with uncovered bead, to
stand for an hour each day in the
sunshine. It invigorated his body
and brain, and the world of liters
ture was illuminated with the light
of a sweet nature that shone through
S clear mind.
Charles Dudley Warner's “My Sum
mer iu a Garden" illustrates the val
ue of this recreative pastime in stimu
fating thought. Every idle weed
was full of instruction and moral re
flections growing with pulsey as po
sms with the mountain daisy upturn
ed by Burns. A life thns ’exempt
from public haunt," like tbe exiled
Duke in the forest of Arden—
“Finds tongues in peas, books in thegrowiug
grass,
Sermons in herbs, anil good in everything.’’
The season for early gardening is
at hand, and it behooves us to pro
pare for the spring and snmmer be
fore us. The beneficence of Provi
dence in providing for the regular
lecurreuce of the season each bring
ing its appropriate fruit and vegeta
hies adapted to the necessity for a
change of diet with man, is nowhere
more apparent thau in this section.
Nature has kindly endowed this re
gion with the most favorable condi
tions of soil and climate possible for
successful gardening. Our people
have enjoyed these advantages only
to a limited degree. We have luxn
riated in vegetables and garden fruits,
but have never seen fit to make them
an easy source of revenue. Let uur
gardeners extend their operations
and make Griffin famous for market
gardens, as she justly can be.

AN AMBIDEXTER.
A Reporter Attempts to Furnish Copy
at Double Ills Usual Rate of Speed
and Gets TtamgB Mixed.
Kansas City Journal.
Tunic u a reporter at tbe Times
office who writes with unusual rapidi
ty with either hand. He is an ambi
dexter, and a bold, bad one nt that.
When there is a rush of work at tbe
office and the devil is shouting cop
pee like a fiend incarnate, this useful
reporter sits down at his desk in full
company tornt, and, with a pencil in
each hand, slings off local happenings
by the yard. He writes on two
sheets at once, and don’t let his
right Land know what his left hand
is driving at, but is driving all the
same.
Yesterday he got a little off his men
tal base and attempted to write up a
dog fight and a wedding in high life
at the same time. He got things
mixed. His bands ran clear away
with the gray matter in his skull,
and things became terribly confased.
This is the way his items telescoped
with each ottier:
At Grace church, last night, the
nuptials of Mr. Thomas Johnson and
Miss Julia Lawrence were celebrated
in most magnificeut style. A costly
floral horseshoe being directly ovir
the altar, and when tbe yellow cur
saw the flames of anger darting from
tbe eyes of the bridal fjste he opeD
ed with impressive strams of tbe wed
diDg march. As the handsome couple
walked down the aisle tbe excited
crowd began to get fraDtic and there
were yells of Sick 'em, Bull, At him
now, Towser, as the spectators bo
came interested in the figbh The
bride was elegantly attired,in pure
white of the most costly fabrics, and
she wore tbe traditional white veil
and wreath of orange blossoms had
him by the neck, and bis tongue be
gan to loll out aud his eyes to turn
sooiu.'uults as if in the customary
hi. k dress suit, white gloves, ears

a d.srephtab’e looking dog iu tbe be

enterprises of the N\ist. But

ed bv 111 '’ happy couple w«iei. L u
grai 1 ).i«uo from the lolhtr of the
bride, the hair bad been scalded
from bis back and one eye seemed to
have been struck with an anger.
After a sho r t bridal tour tbe happy
pair will settle down to one of the
hardest fought battles the reporter
has yet witnessed, and it was

to tell which dog had bo< n punish

bride's parents, and he was taken
home in wheelbarrow. He will prob
ably never recover, and if he does
will be totally blind. Besides being
permanently lame in the left bind
leg. tlie beautiful bride received tho
congratulations of a host of friends.
The groom is one of oar most prom
isiog young men, and his owner
dreads the possibility of losing him
as he fears Ue can never replace bin.
The father of tne bride is one of odt
wealthiest merchants and tbe yellow
fyste limped off with a knowing look
