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.

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 10 school to him when they were boys, We wish the Captain all the good luck. Mr. Thomas Taylor, near this place, has a very sick boy at present, and it is feared he may not recover. But we hope for the better. Mrs. Betsy Moore, of \ village, our does not improve much in health, it is to be hoped though that she will get. a eh again. 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 of Moore in our county than arty other county in the state ee think, especially George Moore. Ye scribe’s household has been deso late the past week; the old lady being away attending the sick. Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Taylor visited Mr. J. E. Bagby’s family on last Sun¬ day. Master Horace Tavlor aud his sisters Annie and Della, our grandchildren, visited us last Sabbath. Mr. Felix Taylor, who has accepted a situation with Capt. S. J. Flynt, near Raytown, was quite sick last week hut is better at this writiag. 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. Prof. J. A. Woodall was in to see us lagt week The Profe8sor 9peaks very flattering of his school nt the Watson Academy. Prof. Woodall is one of OU r best educators and is very much thought of in our county, religiously and socially. We wish him much suc¬ cess.

Question.—W hat are the symptoms of Murrain in cattle? Is there any cure for it? If so, what is it? What is the remedy for hollowhorn and hollowtatl? Answer—M urrain is known by va rious names, according to the nature of the attack and the location of the dis Thus it ... called ,, , Black n , , Leg, T Black . ease. is Quarter, Black Tongue, Bloody Mur rain, Charbon, Carbuncular Fever, etc. It is a common disease, contagious and malignant, and therefore to be dreaded. The symptoms J are various; the follow of them: "lie animal . ing are some gets suddenly listless, the ears hang down, swellings appear usually along the back or nock or on tho logs, which, when rubbed by the hand, feel as though air was under the skin. The animal lies or stands quietly, refusing to move. The bowels become constinated and tho urine highly colored, sometimes . bloody. . , The pulse is quick, from 105 to 110 beats minute. J. he animal , usually ,, dies .. in . a a few hours. The disease is most common among cattle under 2 years of age. Very little can be done in the way of , curing this disease. The best treatment is chlorate of potassium in from 2 to 4 drachm doses, dissolved in water, and given every three hours. Whisky, ether and quinine are also given, whore the animal shows great weakness. As a rule, all treatment is unavailing, and death is sure aud speedy. hollowhorn, Aa for the treatment of I will quote from a prominent veterinary surgeon of Atlanta. “No time or space will be taken up with this subject, as it is really a very wrong idea. The cow’s horn would not be natural if it was not to a certain ex t 3 nt hollow; this depends upon hollowtail, the age. “Worm in the tail, or is another wrong idea, and the habit of cutting the tail is one of the relict of barbarism thl rtu The horn i mav be bored Vow and tne tad mav may he be snl split and aad the the cow may mav got better, which she would have (lone without such treatment and left no scars.”—State Agricultural Department.

Tutt’s Liver Pills 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.

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 having our cotton a surplus crop, The Georgia Weekly Press tion will hold its annual session this yearat Elberfor)i Ju)y 14 th and loth. - ' Remember, you can your .. flllr jon tob t> r j nt ing done at this office below Augusta prices.

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 «?**•*• 1 ,««I **«.- <s' JL Tf*Jv' * * < a uia’mu, S C., where >. , relatives n , 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. “What one Bottle wiil co.’ ■ p Ui U) v. s„ hotti. win do - win d«« •••« iocreo»e« • «»" - w.u otrvou. ««„ «<. low .pin..--m c.r. ..«• * h«.d.«a..-w.,i m.fc. .h. « | >rt>n« ,nv * , |^|‘"i®* “** ' c an( , le%erc .
