TO POSTMASTERS.
When newspapers are not called for It In made
he duty of Postmasters under the lav to notify
tha proprietors of this fact. Cards, already print
ed. are furnished on application to the Postmaster,
whose only daty will he to fill out with the name
f the party not gottlog tho paper.
GOOD TRUCK FARMING.
Mr. Andrew Burkkaltcr, a well
known citizen of Aiken, made dar
ing the past year from two acres of
garden track and two acres of
melons, $600 in cool cask. Tkis is
decidediy better than wasting ones
nervous and physical energy on
planting cotton and coming oat at
the end of the year in debt for pro
visions and gunno. Mr. li. runs n
successful cotton farm also; hut
his margins nrc small on this part
of bis investment, although lie
makes as One a crop as anybody.
Why cannot some our farmers try
this profitable kind of farming?
Let them try a few acres in con
nection with their cotton crops,
and see for themselves the relative
profits of the two kinds of farming
The Charleston News and Courier
gives the protectionists a hard lick
ill the following extract: “As long
ns manufacturers nrc blind to the
charms ol n wide and open market,
and the unprotected farmer and
professional man, and the vnst
mass of consumers are willing to
endure the burden of taxation
which they have the power to re
move, the improvement of the tariff
' will be difilcult to accomplish.
There never was a greater mistake,
however, than to suppose that
Southern manufactures, especially
cotton spinners, must depend for
success on a high tariff All the
production of cotton goods will
soon go beyond what is required
for homo consumption, and the
only hope and escape will then be
in revising the tariir so that foreign
ers may send their products here
freely, and receive in exchange tho
manufactures ol the United States.’
Iloiv Hie Verdict was Itrrrivi-d.
The jury had liccn out about
twenty minutes when a recess was
taken until 5:30, and in ten minutes
afterward tho jury called to the
bailiff that they were ready with u
vordict. They awaited the return
of .fudge Cox in their room.
All eyos were bent on the fuco of
the foreman as lie entered tile court
room at the hood of the jury. No
one really doubted the nature of
tho vordict as soon ns it wns an
nounced that one had been reached,
bnt speculations bad been so vari
ous ns to the way in which the jury
was to hang that it was hard to
realize that a verdict of guilty had
been readied with so little delay.
“Gentlemen of the jury, have
you ngreed upon your verdict?”
qucrli the clerk.
“We have," answered the fore
man.
“What say you, is the defendant
guilty or not guilty, ns elmrged in
the indictment ?”
“UUILTY or Ml'HIlZll.”
before tho verdict wus recorded,
Mr. Scovlllc demanded a pull of the
jury, which was granted mid caeli
responded, “Guilty,” as his name
was called. As the last man answer
ed, Guitcau shrieked out, “My
blood will lie upon the bond of that
jury, don’t you forgot it."
Judge Cox then turned to tIn
jury and said: “Gentlemen of the
jury, 1 cannot express too many
thanks for the manner in which you
have discharged your duty. You
richly merit the thanks of your
countrymen, and with thanks, gen
tlemen of the jury, 1 dismiss you."
Tho defense has four days in
which to make any motion in arrest
of judgment, notice having been
given before the court adjourned
ucli au iutcnlioii.
t would seem that those who
have been predicting a panic have
no oilier grounds for doing so
than, simply because the present
prosperity is too good to last. The
official reports from different sec
tions of the country arc sufficient
to silence even this class of croak
ers. These statistics show that
with the advance of the season the
K nerai business outlook improves
ily, a safe and voluminous spring
trade being everywhere indicate.I

F. White, who so cruelly shot Mr.

The Columbus Times says:
-‘Mr. Kd. McGlaun tells a partridge
story which lie vouches for though
it is not in accord with the estab
lished habits of the bird. He says
there lives on the l’incvillc road in
Chattanooga county an old negro
woman witli whose chickens a par
tridge took up. .Since that time it
lias come regularly to be fed and
roosts witli them in the chicken
house every night. It lias devel
oped into a very fine cock and is as
kune as an ordinary chicken.”
Jackson Herald: There is a
chicken lien in Harmony Grove
which is now in her fifteenth year.
It is estimuted that she produced
seventy-five dozen eggs anil raised
two hundred chickens, which, at
ten cents apiece for tiie chickens
and ten cents a dozen for the eggs,
would bring about twenty-seven
dollars, and the old hen is only
valued at twenty-five cents, and
seems healthy and looks us if she
was only n year old. She ought to
be worth her weight in silver, and
ahoiihl lie nicely buried when dead,
and a gold monument erected over
her grave.
Sparta Jslimaelile: Some of our
farmers make a great mistake in
taking no pains to save lot manure.
It is allowed to lay scattered about
the stalls and lots, it is exposed to
all the rain that falls, and hence is
deprived of much of its fertilizing
quality. In wet weather, we have
seen lots Hint were regular hogs of
filth—to such n degree as to make
them impassable. Would it not
pay to provide a sheltered place
into which to put lot manures? It
seems to us that time thus spent
would give a good account of itsell
in the inerensed returns of the crop,
to say nothing ol the improved ap
pearances that would result.
Montezuma HVivWy: A good
!>.« Iv farmer tells iis that he in-
t-Mids lo pursue a ilillerent course
tliisv ear. Doesn't intend lo buy
a sack of guano, will plant only ten
acres to the mule, will not buy a
cent’s worth on credit, even if lie
is compelled to sulfer for some
thing to eat, and at the end of the
year will tell of the result. “It is
better,” he said, “to suffer for a
year than a lifetime, if I continue
in the same course I have always
been following, it will be a perpet
ual want with me.” He is one of
the few men who are sane. Ho al
so informed us that his lands arc
llnrrah for Hen. Cook.
Uticna Vista A*gm.
We say hurrah for Gen. Phil.
Cook, of the Third. When it
comes to looking after the interest
of one's district, he excels any
Georgia member, and indeed any
•Southern member. He never in
dulges in fine political harangues,
but lie is a decidedly useful memlrcr
of Congress, and looks well to the
interest of Ills people. It was Gen.
Cook who secured for us a daily
mail to Americas, and new he has
put Ids shoulder to tlip well to get
the Friendship and Jacksonville
people mail facilties. He has pre
sented to Cngress a petition asking
that a mail route lie established
lictwecn Buena Vista and Ameri
cas via Friendship and Jackson
ville, and lie is pretty sure to suc
ceed in getting that for whicli he
asks. The Marion county folks
will vote for Gen. Cook—if they
arc a little over the line.
The government derived forty
liiiilious of dollurs from duties on
imported sugar lust year—being
u larger revenue than from any
other single commodity. The
home production amounted to only
12J per cent, of the consumption
of sugar in the country; that is, of
the real sugar from . cane juice—
the glucos manufacture, being in
great part a deceptive business, is
not so accurately returned. The
duty on sugar is high, hut it is so
graunted us to protect the North
ern refiners fully ns much as the
cane growers. Indeed the pro
bability is that the latter eould not
get protection unless it was coup
led with protections to the manu
factures.
The Grill!li News slates that a
short time ago two little sons of
Mr. Tlmd. Clark nnd Mr. A. W.
Jones, took it into their heads to
skip, and, bundling up a few duds,
made oil for parts unknown. Al
though every effort lias been made
to capture the young truants, they
have been successful in eluding the
anxious hands in pursuit and are
still at large.
A. Ij. Harris, a prominent Re
publican of Atlanta, says: “We
Republicans have stood the brunt
of ostracism in Georgia, and if
there are any honors to be divided
we should he first satisfied. Tiie
Independents can join us if they
choose, hut they can’t swallow up
the Republican party.”
Georgia never had u set of men
at Washington who attended more
strictly|io business than her present
delegation. Perhaps Senator Hill
and Ilrown nrc the two most punc
tual men in the Senate. It is a
rare thing to see either out of his
seat, even for a few minutes.
Conklin denies Hint lie is out of
polities permanently. He will be
heard from yet, and so will Mr.
