“Come, will look for you.”
Thie was not as satisfactory as
it might have bean, but Mr. Subera,
with three friends, boarded the 8:26
train and toon landed in Americus.
He went immediately to the resi
dence of the bride’s mother, and
after a consultation they sent for
the license and a minister and at
12:30 were married, the Rev. J. R.
Littlejohn officiating. The happy
couple came to Oglethorpe, this

are now cosily housed away at
Gilmore’s hotel,
Mr. Subers is the railroad agent
at this place and is a young man
of fino moral character, while the
bride is one ef the most charming
young ladies of our sister city.
May they live long and bj happy.

The influence of the imagination
is illustrated by a Cincinnati doc
tor's atory which is going tbe
round* of tbe papers: A big, bulk
ing lellow got the notion that he
was to die at 11 o’clock on a cer
tain day. The doctor was lent for
and arrived just fifteen minute* be
fore the crank intended to die. He
looked like a man on tbe vergo of
eternity. Hi* eye* were dim and
sunken, hi* face hail that peculiar
pallor which heralds the uear ap
proach of death, and his breathing
was very labored. The family were
gathered around and weeping a*
they took a final leave. Some
thing had to be done quick. Call
ing a smart-looking woman aside,
the doctor told her to set the clock
on the mantlepiece ahead as soon
as be got the a'tention of tbe pa
tient. He then hustled tbe family
out of tbe room, sat down on the
edge of the bed, and began telling
the fellow a blood-curdling murder
story, locating it in a town where
he knew everybody, and so com
pletely interested him that he for
got about hia 11 o’clack appoint
ment. “When I gave him a chance
to iook again,” relate* tbe doctor,
“it wa* twenty minutes to 12, and
be was actually mad ror a time,
claiming that he had been tricked.
He finally got to laughing, and we
all took dinner together. The next
day he whipped two men atabarn-
raiaing for twitting him about tbe
programme of death that miscar
ried.”
1. One acre of land well pre
pared and well cultivated produced
more than two which received tbe
same amount of labor used on one.
2. One borse, cow, mule, sheep
or bog well fed is more profitable
than two kept on the same amount
necessary to keep one well.
3. One acre of clover or grass is
worth two of outton where no grass
or clover is raised.
4. Ho farmer who buys oats, corn
or wheat, fodder and hay, as a rule,
for ton years, oan keep the sheriff
away from tbe door in tbe end.
5. The farmer who never reads
the papers, sneers at book farming
and improvements, always has a
leaky roof, poor stock, broken
down fences, and complains of had
“seasons.”
6. The farmer who is above bis
business and entrusts it to another
to manage, soon bas no business to
attend to.
7. The farmer whose habitual
beverage is cold water, ia healthier,
wealthier and wi»er than he who
does not refuse to drink.
along. The boiler is made of an
old powder can, the cylinder ia a
•nuff box, and the steam chest and
head block is moulded out of lead.
A small whistle is attached to the
boiler which can be heard several
hundred yards. The piping, valves,
etc., are scraps picked up around
the place. It is creditable to the
colored boy.
Taking His Par la Preaching.
A Bristol, New Tork, special
■ays: J. C. Si. John had his horse
shod at Holt’s blacksmith shop,
and when he offered to pay for the
work the proprietor would take
nothing, but observed carelessly:
“I'll take my pay in preaching,
parson.” Tbe good minister took
the blacksmith at his word, and as
Holt was never seen at church, the
dominie gave out that there would
be preaching at Hop Holt's shop
on the following Tuesday evening.
The blacksmith enjoyed tbe joke,
and caused a stand to be built,
above which was constructed a
cross and crown of new horse
shoes. When Tuesday night came
the shop was crowded, and Mr. 8t.
John preached an excellent sermon
on the neglect of attending to
church duties. At the close of the
service Mr. Holt asked that another
meeting he appointed, and on
Wednesday evening next another
sermon will be given.
The system of agriculture in tbe
South is gradually undeigoing a
change. . A glance at almost anv
county in this and othor Southern
States shows that the great planta
tions are gradually disappearing,
and are being replaced by small
farms. The work on the small
farms is done largely by white peo
ple. Kvery year a iarger per cent,
ol the crops of the South is made
by white labor. The notion that a
white man cannot work in the cot
ton fields is exploded. If it were
true, therefore, that the agricultu
ral interests of the South are suf
fering from the development of
the manufacturing and mining in
terests it will not be many years
before the system of agrioultnre
will be so changed that tbe negroes
who leave the country districts for
the towns will not be seriously
missed.
A few miles below Ellaville sev
eral days ago the train was going
at the rate of 25 or 30 miloi an
hour when several negro women
were observed running dewn the
road a short distance ahead. Tbe
engineer blew tbe whistle, but aa
tbe woman did not get off the
track he was about to reverse his
engine when two of them got off
and the other stumbled and fell.
Tbe train was not more than 30
paces from her, *Dd she attempted
to acramble to her feet but she
stumbled into a stock gap, where
■he remained until the train passed
over her. The stock gap probably
saved her life Buena Vista Sen

Although three, lour, five or six
cents seems very little for the use
of a dollar for a year, it ia surpris
ing what a large sum it amount* to
when left for a number of years, as
in the case of a Connecticut man
who in 1838 commenced making
deposits in a savings bank. Hia
total deposits from tbat date uatil
1815 amounted to $1.962.25. Be
tween 1838 and 1858 hfe drew from
the bank f 1,270.70; and yet, a few
days since, on having his bank
book written up and balanced, he
was found to have a balance on
