Then Mary gat her down And tears streamed from her eyes; She never found her lamb, Because she didn’t advertize. And Mary laid u brother John, Who kept a village store; Ke wut down and smoked his pipe A nrt watched the open door. And as the people passed along And did not stop to buy, John still sat down and smoked his pipe And blinked his sleepy eye. And so the sheriff closed him out. But still he lingered near; And Mary came to drop with him A sympatiziug tear. “How is it, -inter, That those other merchants here, 8cU all their goods And thrive from year to year?"

A Good Joke. Dr, Smith, unintentionally, got off a very neat little joke on the News, recent ly. From a patent medicine dealer, he received and distributed among his pat rons, an advertizing sheet gotten up like a newspaper and headed “EHaville News.” Many, who had heard the name we intended giving to our newspaper sheet venture, for naturally mistook the doctor’s the promised county paper, and seized on to it with avidity. Eagerly they in scanned it, column after column, search of the local happenings, but medicine, medicine, medicine, and lauda lions of Begg’s family meuiesnes greeted the eye on every page, but not one Ella ville item. “Confound that Florida fel low!” ejaculated one sedate old farm er, who had turned the paper over and over, “I don’t find a thing in his paper about Schley county. He seems to think we need nothing up here but medicine, why he is even ashamed to put his own name at the head of the tiling, umi it hasn’t got an EHaville advertisement even, except Doctor Smith’s.

Schley Ahead. The Columbus Enquirer Sun pays the following well merited compliment to Schley and surrounding counties. “The first the shipment BuenaVista of cotton to Colum bus over Extention was received on the llth inst. This cotton was shipped by Dr. Scarborough, of El kivillei and consigned to Blanchard, Humber – Go. The return to the city of the business of this section is greatly ap predated by our merchants and business men. The fairest and among tire most valuable sections of the state of Georgia are the counties of Marion and Schley, and the far mere and merchants of both counties are among the best and most en terprising. They know a good thing when they see it, and they attend to bus iu ess with both eves open.” --------—*--- Too Risky. We saw a farmer do a very unwise thing a few days since. He was coming into town from the direction of Murray's Cross Roads, and was about fifty yards from the railroad crossing wlienjae saw the train coming at full speed. Be was driving two'spirited boy in mules the and had a with wo man and small wagon him and instead of waiting for the train to pass, as it would have done in one dashed minute, he put the whip track to just the ahead mules of and the across engine. The crossing at this place is the steepest and roughest in town and had the mules balked or a trace broken, or am- thing occurred t,o stop him on the track a few seconds it would have been impossible, engineer with hare that voided heavy running train, for the to a li ver him. Many a serious accident has occurred from just such impatience aud thoughtlessness. Take lane The me Children uuiukh To u Church. w Servic ? s llt fche church lastfeun day week were conducted by Rev.

While the Esquimaux hove * far wider range east and west than any other race, there is much evidence that the north and south limits of their territory have greatly narrowed. If the suggestion of CapL Adams, that the Smith Sound natives, about 200 in number, be removed to south Greenland to prevent them from en their tirely succumbing to the hardships of isolated home, were carried out, the north and south range of these natives would be still further tlimin ished. We know that the Esqui maux once hunted in the northern part of Grant Land, over 200 miles north of the present homes of the Smith Sound highlanders. On the other side of Baffin's bay the Esqui Gape maux Sabine, not long where ago often went to passed their last winter, Greely’s but party have been heard of far they north not so for some years. On Banks Land McClure found very old remains of Isjquimaux huts, but the natives south of Banks Land had not even any traditions of natives people ,ving so far north, and the of Wollaston Land, who would bo most likely to go there to hunt, have said they never go north of Prince Albert sound, which is far southeast of Banks Land. These facts point not more to the southerly re treat of the Esquimaux than to the gradual j southwest extinction of the race. Even Danish K Greenland, whore under rule the hard lot of the natives has been considerably ameliorated, they bers.—New are barely keeping up tlieir num York Suu.
