The Measure of Man.
The place to take the true measure
of a man, says an exchange, is not the
uiarxet place or the amen corner, not
the forum nor the field, but at his own
fireside. There he lays aside his mask
and you may learn whether he’s imp
or augel, king or cur, hero or humbug.
I care not wliat the world says of him—
whether it crown him with jewels or
pelt him with bad eggs, I care never a
copper what bis reputation may be. If
his babies dread his home coming and
his better half swallows her heart every
time she asks him for a live dollar bill,
lie’s a fraud of the first water, even
though he prays night and morn till
he is black in the face and howls halle¬
lujah till he shakes the eternal hills.
The tongue of a slanderer is never
tired. In one way or another it man¬
ages to keep itself in constant employ¬
ment. Sometimes it dips honey, aud
sometimes gall. It is bitter now and
then sweet. It insinuates, or assails
directly, accordiug to the circum¬
stances. It will hide a curse under a
smooth word, and administer poison in
the phrase of love. i ' death, it
aA1
“loves a shining mark.’' And it is
never so available aud eloquent as
wiieu it can blight the hopes of the
noble-minded, soil the reputation of
the pure, and break down or destroy
the character of the brave aDd strong.
What pleasure man or woman can find
in such work we have never been able
to see. And yet there is pleasure of
some sort in it to multitudes, or they
would not betake themselves to it.—
Some passion of soul or body must be
gratified by it. But no soul in high
estate can take delight in it. It indi¬
cates lapse, tendency toward chaos,
utter depravity. It proves that some¬
where in the soul there is weakness,
waste, evil nature. Education and re¬
finement arc no proof against it. They
often serve only to polish the slander¬
ous tongue, increase its tact, and give
it suppleness and strategy.—Ex.
“Out of your own self should come
your theme, and only thus can your
genius be your friend.”—Emerson.
“Many other students read more
than I did, knew more than I did. but
so much as I read, I made my own.”—
Webster.

Mr. Reuben Dozier’s little boy
has been sick sometime is still un
proviDg and the chances are good
him to get well.
Dr. A. C. Davidson atteuded the
Medical Association last week in At
lanta. We hope the tup may be bene
ficial to the Doctor’s health. He has
been missed a great deal in our com¬
munity during his recent illness.
Capt. 8. „ J. , Fljnt was in , to see us , .
week. lbs school lias closed
Phillips’mill until July. Mr. Plynt is
a very prominent man in our county
religiously and socially. He has ropre
sented the' county two or three terms
in the Legislature. He has been
teaching school for many years, and
there are people in our community that
are forty odd years old that went to

We wish the Captain all the good luck.
Mr. Thomas Taylor, near this place,

Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Bagby’s little
daughter is still very sick, but the
chances are beltei for her recovery.
We had a music man in our town
last week. He had a machine that
made music and talked too. It beat
any music apparatus we ever saw. He
entertained our people very much
while here.
The finny tribe has suffered badly
during the recent rains on our creeks
and branches.
Mrs. W. P. McKeon, of our town is
visiting relatives and friends in Au¬
gusta, her old home.
Messrs. Akin and Caldwell were in
our town last Friday trading on horses.
We think our people should give Mr.
George Fouche some assistance, as he
has recently been burned out of eveiy
tiling he had, and his wife and daught¬
er are both down sick, and he has no
work to do. Mr. Fouche is a clever
man and industrious one, ar.d willing to
work if he could get work that he
could do. He is a man getting along
in years, and it is a charitable act to
help him and his wife and daughter
while they cannot help themselves nor
their misfortune.
Mr. William Hughes and family, of
Sparta, were in our community last
week visiting relatives and friends.
They formerly lived in this section.
Mr. Hughes is a fine mechanic.
Sharon Lazy Club was very slim last
Saturday. There must have been a
pic nic some where or a big meeting
where they bad dinner on the grounds.
That is the only way we can account
for it.
Religious services at Raytown Meth¬
odist Church on last Saturday and
Sunday, conducted by the pastor, Rev.
E. B. Reese.
There are more people by the name

county in the state ee think, especially
George Moore.

Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Taylor visited
Mr. J. E. Bagby’s family on last Sun¬

Mr. Charlie Rocker has left our
neighborhood and accepted a position
near Gliin, Warren county.
Mr. Walter Pittman, of Hillman, is
furnishing the Barnett market with
beef and other fresh meats at present.
As this county is entitled to the
State Senator from this district, we
think ihat C’apt. W. T. Flyut would be
a good selection. Capt. Flynt is a
solid, good man, and well informed on
all matters pertaining to the good and
welfare of the county, slate and coun¬
try.

GEORGIA CROPS.
The Summary Show* an Incrcaiie In Cotton
Acreago hut. a Kvduotion In torn.
From replies received from hundreds
of correspondents to whom questions
were sent the following summary of the
crop has been made:
COTTON.
The increase in this crop amounts to
13 par cent over last year. In the
cotton growing .sections of Middle and
Southwest (leorgia the increasers 10 per
cent, hut the average for the state is
brought up to j;i percent by the increase
in the northern and southeastern
tions of the state.
This iuorease in acreage over last year
does not bring tin' area in cotton up to
that of lhlM by 7 to 8 per (tout. The
sale of ferrilissars has slightly exceeded
that of 1894, and tint knowing ones in
mated, therefore, that the acreage in
cotton would be greater than that year,
but the information at this department
is that guano has been used more liber
ally than ever before under corn and
other cereals, and has also been applied
in heavier doses to cotton. These rea¬
sons would therefore account for tho in¬
creased sale of fertilizers without any
increase in the cotton acreage.
A dry April has retarded germination
in many parts of the state, but, recent
rains have been quite general and 50
per cent of the crop is up with a fair
Etaml.
conv.
I regret to learn that the ncroago of
corn is from 6 to6 percent less than last
year. I fear this is a mistake on the
part of our fannonj, which can still he
remedied to some extent by planting
liberally of peas and potatoes. The
stands of corn are reported good, and
the land and crops in good condition,
though the drought of April has pre¬
vented any very rapid growth.
OATS.
The acreage in oats is reported for the
state practically tho same as last year.
Amount of tho crop sowed in the full 47
per cent. Prospect fair for a good oat
crop.
WHEAT.
The acreage of wheat for the state is
OlJi per cent of last year, showing a do
eroaso of 8 to 0 per cent. North Geor¬
gia, however, where most of the wheat
in the state is grown, shows au acreage
of 97, while it puts the condition and
prospect for a crop at 104 per coat aa
compared with last year.
SCO AU CANE.

A careful study of the above summary
of the crops will show that Georgia is
marching in the road she blazed outlast
year; the road that leads to indepen
donee and prc»spority. While there is
a moderate increase in the amount of
cottou planted, that increase hy no
means indicates that the farmers in
tend to abandon the raising of home
supplies. Last year this state planted
the largest area of food crops in her hig
tory; and this year she is planting but
less of any ot theso crops, and in
fiome instances more. If a kind Provt
deuce will send the necessary rains we
do not intend ever again to look to the
west for our bread and meat, bnt we
fully intend to raise it at home, thus

j HE WAS DROWNED.
The Body of D. Shipes Found in the
River.
The Augusta Tribune of Tuesday
furnishes the following nmnint of the
drowning of Mr. ]>. Shipes in that
city r
The mystery attached to the disap¬
pearance of Mr. 1). Shipes, last Satur¬
day. was solved this morning when Ins
body was found floating down the
Savannah river just above the Colum¬
bia bridge by u negro fisherman named
Ed Cook. It will be remembered by
the many readers of the Tribune, that
on Saturday morning last Mr. Shipes
became so much under the influence
of liquor, that two of his friends, Mr.
Andrew McCann and Mr. William
Wilson trieil to take him home, but
after getting as far us the McKinnie
St. htiilge, on the third level of the
canal, persuaded him to lie down oti
lhe bank under the bridge while they
went off and secured a conveyance to
complete their task.
Upon returning w ith the vehicle Mr.
k Shipes was not to»be found, and «?**•*•

and not finding him aCeither place, it
was concluded that he must have rolled
into the canal, and been drowned.
Willi this idea, his friends have been
busy searching the bed of the canal
with grappling hooks, only desisting
when information was sent them of
iiis being found. The negro while out
in his batteau fishing this morning
saw an object floating toward him, and
when near enough recognized that it
was the body of a man, and rowing up
to it, attached a cord to his ankle and
lowed it into the bank, just above tins
Columbia bridge, and then notified the
authorities. By order of the Coronor
Mr. Shipes body was removed to Mr.
Wilson’s undertaking rooms, at which
place an inquest will be held at .1
o’clock tins afternoon. 'The body
from its three days stay in the Water
was terribly swollen, and the lace
turned perfectly black, presenting a
sight not at all pleasant.
