The place i« Just outaido the cor poration of the city. Apply at this oltlcc. fcblutf Nearly all our citizen* are indul ging in that costly luxury, tho “crop mortgage.” Bacon 18, flour $18, corn $1.35, other goods in pro portion until Oct. 15. Such Is the ruin of tho improvident Georgia farmer. Next fall, there’* from bale to 3 bale* for guano, some for snppliea and tbu* the poor, short sighted husbandman toil* through the burden and heat «t summer and ihiver* through the cbeerleu winter, all to aatlify the voracious appetite ot the insatiable “crop mortgage.” AU this, too, in n land that ia so much blessed. Here we can grow something to eat every month in the year. Nature pro vides « lavish abundanoe of fruit wbiob, if property husbanded would euffloe for theeupportof the people. Yet wo persist in that moat unsavory diet of mok Wes tern bacon, damaged corn and oc casionally treat ourselves to • bis cuit made of the very ! poorest of the Northern wheat oropi Baton and bread, bread and bacon the year round. Poor self weaned or phans that we are, preferring the gross and unhealthy sap of strange nurse to the rleh milk of our own freely-giving mother. Talk of raising our own hog and hominy. Let me tell you, Mr. Edi tor, until the people of Georgia learn cither to raiso what we cat or else bo content to cat what wo raise, we will always be tho slavos and bondsmen of the “orop' mort gage." If wo can’t raiso baeon, wo most learn te cat something else besides bacon. Ponder on these things, men of tho Sonth, and let ns make a mighty effort to rend the shackels of the tyrant. Not by repudiation, but by steady liquida tion. Sava everything, and then make everything. Don’t wait till you make to begin seving, but be gin saving first. We may not bo able to cut the links immediately, but if we’ll bnt try onr sympathetic brother will assist us to uncoil the suffocating form of the Anaconda, and forever free ourselves lrom tho terrible “crop mortgage.” After drifting so long in the current onr crafts may not lie able to wheel about and stem tbo current, up stream, but we can cast out tho an chor and gain a little strength to ascend the stream ere we resell tbo terrible cataract of ruin and deso lation that lies before. This ap peal comes not from a theoretic and speculative view, but from an unfortunate personage who has experienced the misery that is suf fered by those who become suffer ers of tho relentless “crop mort gage. M. M. P. the Weston circuit, reqnests us to say to the people of Preston and vicinity that he will preach there next Sunday evening at 9| or o’clock, as soon ns he can get through with bis service at Wes ton and get]there. Wo hope every' body will turn out and hear him. Ho it a splendid preacher and you will be glad you came. Mr. 8. P.

JOLLY JOIINPREEVILLE. •Jc iinpbeville, March 11.—The weather leels to-day like old man Winter had left us, and wo seldom have much cold after full moon in March. Wc sec tho lizards crawl ing about; that is a good sign of spring. Wc bad a fine rain on Sat urday last. It was needed and welcomed by all. Tho early corn is coming up and looks as if wo will get a good stand.

The eyolone of mar riages ore passed, the Loap-Year party over, tho Golden Troupe gone to parts unknown, artesian wator still in tho depths of tbo earth and our vlaiting young ladles wing ing their flight gradually to tho homes they lovo so well, but prom ising a glimpso of their bright faces and the sound of their musical voices during Commencement week. Tholr presence has added much to tbegsyotyofour"gay little city” and wc shall be glad to see them when the rotes bloom.” Winter, bleak and cold, has bid den u* a long adieu, and though the wind was raw a day or two this week, ond tho ground frozen, the trees are budding, the flowers are blooming, and tho tender grass covering the earth with a carpel of delicate green. The farmers are bntily engaged planting their corn and getting ready to bed for cotton, Caras seem to grow lighter, and burdens more easy to be borne when tho sun shines and ths birds sing. Nature wishes her children bo merry, and sho calls to them a thousand different tonos to be up and doing." Our merchants are making tholr stores attract! vo by the tasty ar rangement of beautiful new good* in great variety. Their prices an moderate, too. Some of their draa* goods cannot bo surpassed, even in our largo cities, such as elegant silks, laces and ribbon* of latest pattern and stylo. Money, how ever, seems to bo scarce, and the ladies hearts acho for tbo possess ion of “gold, gold, gold.” Several of the citizens are mak ing preparations for the next cy clone, by having “pita” dug upon We siuccrcly hope wishes sndj prayers of friends SB over the stats, who rejoice to hear of hie convalescence. From the number sf commercial tourists in onr miast, one wool* suppose that Dawson was a favor ite resort. We are sore that is ao place would they bo more kindly treated or fare better. Their ac commodation* at the betel cannot be improved, and our merebaata are reliable and liberal. We were prevent at the college exercises on Friday evening last, and were delighted. It is really a treat to listen to the recitations, readings, speeches and mnslc one hears. The “Telephone” is a epic/ sheet, edited by the yonng ladies, and though a burlesque, contains reading matter of no inferior grade. An original piece of poetry to oao of the young ladies, or rather girls of the Sonth Ga. College,. was a gem, and we puzzled onr brains to And out to whioh one it was ad dressed. We Hailed.

Good many complaining of their seed potatoes rotting. Many have rotted since they were bedded. They are scarce and bringing good prioes.

John Dixon, tbo white man now in >11 awaiting the trial for point ing a loaded shot-gun at a young man, is rather an odd character. Last Friday be concluded to quit eating with a view of starving ton- self to death, and did not touch a mouthful during Saturday and San- day. Sunday morning he tried to borrow a razor from Deputy Sheriff Bolder, to take a shave, whioh request was refused. He then wanted to borrow Holder’s knife, bnt Troy told him that the only way that be could commit suicide in jail was to bu$ his brains out againat the wall of hi* oclL Hb continued his fast, however, and for awhile seemed determined te atarvo himself to death. His fast ing evidently gave hi* mind a pious torn and on Tuesday he sent fora preacher to pray with him. He was visited by Mr. Smith, the col porteur, who talked and prayed with him. On Wednesday Dixon professed to have been converted and wanted some one to baptize him. He also broke bis fast ty esting s flap-jack, which he olsinw to have been tbo oaly food be tod eaten in nearly a week. His mind seems fo bo in quite a turbulent stato and although anxions to shuf fle off hi* mortal coil, is not happy. Since his last incarceration his wife has sworn out a warrant against him charging him with beating ter unmercifully. There seems to to but two chances for Dixon to es cape the chain-gang. One ia to try the insanity dodge, and the other is to starve to death. Dixon’s felt ing calls to mind a case which hap pened in Lumpkin many years ago when Jndge J. M. Scott waa sber- ig. A white man was under sent ence of death and concluded to starve himself. H* fasted thirty- one day* when be became so ex hausted that he concluded to oat something. Ho ate one meal and died.
