It will be the biggest thing for Griffiu that ever happened in the his terv of the town.' The Carrollton merchants do not know the use of gold as a currency.

The .Suere** of a Practical ani Well a* Known SpeltliB? Farmer-.A Valuable Snore*!loa. A News reperter stepped into the Ordinary’s office and asked Judge Hammond why he had those ho^se shoes up over bis door and received the following reply; Well, I put them up there to keep off the vritche*, and for good luck. Now, I ci^-. iy whether there is! any snch tbir. as luck, but there are mat y v- • believe that there is everyth!; j in it. This class never seems to be better satisfied than when they sit and hold their hands, wait iDg for something to turn up, like Wilkins Micawber, who bad the twins, or rather whose wife had the twins. He was always floating on the surface of the occasion, and trusting to the sub! uiity of luck. No doubt It:*. \ is an elegant thing provided that it ever comes at the right time. But the sounder principle is to make use of those taj ents with which Providence has en do wed us, and carve our own way through surrounding difficulties nn til we reach the goal set for our at taiument- N being horn great, let us Lend f our energies to one purpose, i with onr strength and will, achieve greatness rather than sit passively and trust to luck, to have greatness thrust upon ns. 1 bet us be up and doing, With a heart lor every /ate. Still achievint', still pursuing. Learn to labor and to wait.’' These thoughts have been suggest ed by a visit I made a week ago last Sunday, to John H Mitchll’s- I found this gentleman at home with his family, and my wife and I receiv ed a most hearty and cordial wel come and spent a happy day. We had everything good for dinner and I tried to do full justice to their bountiful hospitality and I guess I did it. Mr. Mitchell is one of our stirring, active, business farmers, who lets no grass grow under his feet. lie always says come on boys rather than go on. He moves and bis work moves with him; he does not wait for luck, but trusts to vim and energy. He is a practical as well as an experimental farmer -he works to utilize everything and waste nothing. \fter dinner we were sitting in his front piazza, smokiDg, and I diB covered some bees going in and out of a knot in one of the large oak trees in front of bis dwelling. This tree is known to bo over a hundred years old. I learned that several years ago a swarm of bees assembled in that tree as their new home, and they have lived and worked there ever since. After they had been there three years the colony Lad be come very large and strong and no attempt had ever been made to rob them of their honey. \t last Mr. Mitchell came to the conclusion that the tree must he full of honey f from seeing large numbers of flies and bees around the root of the tree; so he set to work to devise^some means to get the honey without cut ting tho tree down. After applying all the tests known to bee men, he satisfied himself that the tree was full and then decided to tap it like a fellow is tapped for dropsy. So he got him a faucet and an anger and bored a hole in the tree near the root amt then screwed in the faucet and to his surprise and great de light a solid stream of pare and ele gant honey as clear as crystal gush ed forth, and the supply seemed to be inexhaustible. It continued to pour out until he had filled six bar rels; and ho has drawn each vear since that time from three to four Carre'S , . , pute . strained honey , from , that old oak tree, and up to this thcr« SeClUS to l>« EO SigHS of a failure of the supply, as the bees are still a very strong and healthy colo i n J- The same year that Mr. Mitcheil tapped the old oak tree, there was a new thick growth sprung up all around the old oak of nu unusual appearance, having a smooth bark aud thick waxy leaves. Oce day ho pulled off one of the leaves aud put it in his mouth and found it to be very sweet, aud upon examining tuo from which he had plucked the he discovered that the plant was tou-WE PU R K &AKIM& Itgfuperior excellence proven in millions •f home* for more than a quarter of a cen tury.

He then commenced to nurse tho new volunteer grow* h with the tenderesi care and atteu tion, looking aftc. t.iiem duily; and as the summer advanced the plants continued to grow, and in the fall be selected and transplanted three bun dreu of them iu very rich soil, thirty feet apart, and they grew very rapid ly, making a beautiful display with their straight, smooth trunks and their thick and glorsy wax-like leaves; and the grove was seen and admired by all for miles and miles around. Mr, Mitchell’s idea was that large money was made from the sugar maple, by boiling the juice, he ought to mak’e more, from a tree that would run pure honey, and he was right. When the trees were four years old in the fall of the the year, they were large enough to insert laucets: So he had three hundred faucets made to order and screwed them into the young trees; and the following spring, the result was remarkable. Each tree yielded an average of ten gallons cf the rich¬ est golden honey; the following year each tree yielded an average of twenty gallons, and now the average yield is about a barrel to each tree during the year; and the grove con tinues to grow and flourish, and shows no signs of failing to supply a bountiful yield in the years to come. The qua’ity of the honey is so fine and the flavor is so delicate, that it always commands the highest prices, and the demand is greater than the supply. If some of those enterprising arte- sian-well-men, who are always pros pecting and boring holes in our county for oil, could succeed in sink ing a well from which asoiid stream old mellow peach brandy woald flow continuously, then indeed, old Spald ing County would he a new and pilgrimages would be made from all over this broad country to l»ud which flows with “Peach and Honey.” But be that as it may,- the uncer¬ tainty of the fruit crop,—the corn crop,--the wheat crop,— nor the un¬ certainty of the price of cotton, any terrors I r Mr. uitchell, for so long as tin se g*lden streams of sweetness c titinue to flow from these natural fountains, his prosperity is assured.
