Oar Pike Connty Editor.
Having asumed the position of ass
sociate editor in the Pike County de
partment ol the Griffin News, I
hereby stata to my many friends in
said county that in so doing I shall
endeavor to get up all the local hap¬
penings from every quarter of the
county. It is a well known and con
needed fact, that the Griffin News
has but few equals and no superiors
in the State for local or general read
ing matter. It is also the cheapest
paper, costing fifty cents a year, the
worth of which in reading matter will
often be fonnd in a single copy. There
fore I hope soon to see it in every
household of Pike, and with the ad
ditional interest that will be lent
by increased attention to this favorite
territory of the News, every one in
the county should subscribe.

There was nothing else for It, so I took
a pick and shovel and went to work on
tbe railway embankment, yea, even aa a
sob-contractor; that is to say, tbe land
was just being cleared and burnt off and
my undertaking was to take so many
claims, according to tho nature of th<v

pence to fourteen pence per cubic yard;
the mullock was to be dug and wheeled

cases we met with rocks and other im¬

We, my mates and myself, went to work
about sunrise in the summer, say 5 a. m.,
and knocked off at sunset We lived in
our own cagip, a calico tent, cooked
our own tucker, when we had any,
drank water that you wouldn’t drown a
dog in at home and had altogether a san¬
stuck guinary jolly time work of it However, eventually we

during the eighteen months I was work¬
ing on the line the only vegetables I
tasted were dried apples, rice and broad;
the rest of our bill of fare was made up
of corned mutton, very occasionally;
canned fish, preserved mutton and beef,
and very rarely fresh beef. We also

Disadvantages of Color Blindness.
No man who has this defect should be
a physician. He cannot tell whether his
patient is flushed or pale. As was said
of one such: “How should* he know
whether this is scarlet fever? He never
saw scarlet in his life. ” Next to the phy¬
sician the chemist is a dangerous man;
he must trust entirely to the labels on
his drugs; if they change color, and this
often indicates that they are deteriorat¬
ing, he does not know, but still sends
them out with a cheerful mind. The
sick nurse is also disqualified, and for the
same reason. After these come the rail¬
way signal man, who reads the red dan¬
ger signal to stop as if it was the green,
commanding him to dash on. Then there
is the sailor who mistakes the starboard
for the port light of a vessel sighted in
the night and reads into it a directly op-
posite meaning from that it was meant
to convey.
It is a crime for the color blind to pur¬
sue any of these callings when their de¬
fect has been brought home to them,
and there are other trades which it is
foolish in them to follow, because they
can never compete with those who have
perfect vision. The tailor, the milliner,
the bouse painter, the dyer are instances
of! these. But more than half of the
color blind live and die unaware of their
defect; among those who are uneducated
it frequently passes for ignorance and
stupidity, or if known it is concealed as
a disadvantage things by them, though in the
nature of they are not aware of
the mischief they may do through it—
