ALLEK HOUSE
PRESTON, GA.
J. B. ALLEN, - - Proprietor
Richland, Ga., Sept. 8.—The
trade of our little town has improv
ed wonderfully during the past
week, and the merchants now shake
bauds good-naturedly, while the
smiles pl»y over their, not other
wise, pre possessing countenances,
until you thiuk they are going to
be real civil.
The guano agents aro here wail
ing no doubt, for the feast to begin
and glad will be the sound to the
ears of one of them if he can hear
once more the voice cryiny “Is my
cousin Willard in town?’’
It is no nnnsuai sight to see loads
of cotton on our streets, and the
merchants are showing their libers
ality and appreciation by baying
all that is ■ offered at Americus
prices, and selling goods low down
as they do; sorely they will build
for themselves a spendid trade.
Richland has grown so much of
late that onr Marshal says he can
no longer control the boys with his
No. 11 fist, and unless he be allow:
ed a club, with whieh to wback
them over the head, be will certain
ly resign. We suggest that he be
allowed to bring into requisition
just one of his No. 14 shoos, and if
this don’t prove a grave yard to
’em we will be badly tickled.
Capt. Z. S. Parker can now be
found behind the counters of T. A
Meyers. Tne Captain is both
courteous and efficient,and by these
noble gentlemanly traits, has just
ly earned the reputation of a good
salesman.
One of our modest young men
went calling last Sunday in Pres
ton^rnd at night when nearly home,
discovered that be had the Sheriff's
keys in his possession. He pre
tended to be very much disconcert-
at the unfortunate affair and wept
tears of grief Said he did not
know how they got into bis pocker,
but we do. He would like very
much to be deputy.
The matoh game between the
Alphas, of this place, and Red Hill
Stars took place Saturday afternoon
snd terminated with the fpurth
Inning by tbs Stars refusing to
conform to the league rules, there
by forfeiting the game. The ma
jority of the Stars are real nice
gentlemen, but there are others in
the dab who for hard down “kick
ing” are withont equals. If their
first baseman would only button
down his lips and give his tongue
rest he doubtless wonld play better
ball Willia Hawkins, Jr., as am
pire, elicited many compliments by
his fair-and impartial decisions.
Skinner, of the Alphas, did aome
fancy catching on first base.
The hop at the Nloholson House
last Thursday night is said to have
been a complete success. Many
thanks for invitation, bat for rea
sons best known to onrself, we
conld not be present.
Mr. J. P. P. Harrell has a tnrkey
hen that has done excellent service
this year. She first set on a crook
ed-necked gomd until the neck was
entirely worn off. Then fourteen
chicken and six dock eggs were
put under her. These she hatched
in due time. Still not being satis
fied, the was next given nine chick
en, fifteen guinea, six peafowl; two
dnok and three geese eggs, and it
is useless to say has done full jus
tice to them long ago and is now
setting on an old camp stool ex
pecting to batch oat a fall regi
ment of these for the Mexican war.
These aro facts, as we have seen it
all onrself, and know whereof we
speak. If any one haa a better
turkey hen let them bring her to
tbo front.
Richland received eleven bales of
cotton yesterday, making the total
receipts up to date twenty-eight
bales, which wo think a pretty good
showing for a place only eight
months old.
Mr. Simie Carter is spending a
few days vacation with his mother
at Weston. Simie is one of our
favorite boys, and we will be glad
to see him back.
Mr. Loomis Cutts and Miss Susie
Clark were united in matrimony on

A STEAM MELOS-llARVESTEIl.

“Must be big money in the mel
on business,” said a loquacious
man on au Illinois Central train
“I see they’re selling ’em in Chios,
go at 35 cents apiece. There
money in that. The farmers ought
to be getting rich. Why, down in
Michigan whore I nsed to live we
often raised 600 whopping big
melons on a patch no bigger’n the
floor of this here oar-”
•‘That’ll never do,” replied the
man in the next seat', with an in
credulous smile; “ that’ll never do
tn the world. Six hundred melons
would cover a' space as big as tho
floor of this car all over so you
oruldn’t see the ground. It must
be your stories that are whoppers
instead of the melons.”
“That shows all you know about
the melon business. Of course, 000
melons wonld oover a piece of
groand of that size all np and
good deal more. Everybody knows
that. There wouldn’t be any fun
in the business if they didn’t. Why,
sir, when J had a track farm over
in Miobigan melons were din cheap
and it took a good deal of .ingenu
ity to make any money ont of ’em
But by a littfo ingenuity and close
figurin’ I managed to oomo ont
ahead, though the market was sim
ply awful. •
My farm lay right alongside a
railroad switch, and I used to have
the company give me a train.of box
cars on that traek. Then after the
vines got a good start and just as
my melons were about to grow—
melons grow powerful fast and big
ont of the soil of old Michigan
when they get started—I’d have
my men start the vines growin’ in'
to tbo car doors. In three days
and nights I’d have every one of
them cars loaded full to tho roof
with nice, ripe watermelons, and
all there was to do then was hitch
on an engine and draw ’em off to
market.
“Yes, Ur, the starting np of tbo
locomotive picked the melons an
saved me the expense of picking
and loading. Guess you never
raised melons for a livin’, did you
mister?”

Westmoreland Bros., Greenville,

you presented me with a bottle of

A capital way to discover the
passage of earth waves is by means
of the oil in a kerosene lamp. If
the lamp be made of glass and half
filled with kerosene oil when the
shocks come ripples will be seen to
advance regularly along the surface
of the oil. These aro not ripples
like those made by a jar of a bond
ing, eto. They run across the oil
steadily, not tremulously, and fol
low one another with regularity.
Such is a reporter’s experience.
Tho test was made several times.
The oil being at tbo level of the

Dexteh, Texas, March 16, 1885.
Brorn Balm Co.: It is a gust pleas
ure to 08 to (late to jon that yonr B.B.
B. takes the ieid of all blood purifiers in
tbiaoeuntry, onaicountof the cares it
baa effected eince we bare bandied it.
Wo bad a case of scrofaia in onr neighbor,
hood, of long standing, who bad used all
patent medieines whieh were recom
mended to him; besides this, be also bad
toreial doctors attending him, bnt every
thing failed to effect any good. Hegrew
worso every day, and bod not lert bis bed
for the last six months. We bad seen him
several limes in onr little town, though
it baa boen mere than fifteen months
ainee we last saw him, and we onppoee
ibis was the last time he was able to come
to town, os be liTea^aboat eight milea in
the country. His namo Is Servcnka, and
we got a neighbor of his to persuade him
to try B. B. B„ and after using only one
bottle he left bis bed for tbo first time in
six months.
To tbo present time ho bis need less
than three bottles, and ho is. walking
around visiting blc friends in tho neigh
borhood. Ho has gained strength and
fiesh rapidly. All serofnlous sores an
healing finely, and yon never saw n hap

for miles aronnd has beard of this won

remedy call for the B. B. B.
We bad a case of nasal catarrh in our

who has boen using B. B. B. for about
two wseks, and already seems to bo about
well. ( .
We havo only three bottles left, and

A London Uonjtirer’s New Trick.
Whitehall Itoviow.
“The disappearance of a lady in
fall sight ol the audience” is the
latest feat of the conjurers, snd as
it is being performed in “empty”
London it Is causing no littlo sen-i
eation among thoso few last per
sons left in town. Tho trick ap
pears to us to be an improvement
on tho familiar In Han basket trick.
The lady who has to disappear
must, of course, [go somewhere or
other, so that the trick must nec
essarily be an optical delusion. It
isnono the worse, but rather all
the better, on this account, for
there is nothing more delightful in
its way than to ho “taken in” by
a conjurer, who, to ail appearances,
has neither mirrors nor mechanism
to help him. In the present trick
a girl scats herself upon a chair in
the centre of tbo stage. Under
neath the chair a newspaper has
been spread, and a screen .sur
rounds the chair on three sides. A
large Silk sheet is then put over
the figure of the girl. It is easy
to see that she disappears at once,
though tho conjurer occasionally
lifts the covering to show her legs
—the lady is dressed in doublet
and “tights”—and thus prove that
she has not gone. But the legs
are clearly dummies and the sus
pension of the silk covering clearly
mechanical. The figure does dis
appear, that is clear, and the trick
is a remarkably clever one.
Steele Mackayc has his own
ideas abont how to bring up chil
dren. Recently, in a conversation
with a gentleman, be said: “I never
whip my boys. I do not think
that a father is justified in using
force to train his children. When
any of my boys are disobedient I
make them whip me. They feel
that much more than if I punish
them. Recently I overheard two
of my boys quarrelling, and one
said to the other: 'll yen don’t
stop that dad will make you lick
Cedartown will soon have a cot
