«0 little girt whose twenty yean
I Make you seem none the older
Since that spring day when love’s (tad tears
Bade Bashfulness be bolder,
Tell me, and have you grown more wise.
Or any more discerning,
Or are you more Inclined to pries
The benefits of learning f
This to my love—a birthday rhyme—
l gave when she was twenty:
Her little head up to that time
I’d filled with books in plenty;
I’d offered Thackeray and Scott,
Shakespeare and some of Milton,
To show her in a measure what
An education’s built on.
I’d offered Wordsworth—not too much—
Keats all, and biteR of Shelley;
In Brownisg. whom i didn't touch,
I feared a casus belli;
Td offered Teunyson and some
Of Swinburne, that would go well
As spice with ,n y “elections from
Longfellow, Holmes and LoweU.
And now, the fruitful year at end.
The ripe result 1 sought for.
And wondered if her words would lend
The wisdom that 1 thought for.
Alas I—yet I confess it fell
Like “Paid” upon a debtor—
Said she, “l liked them very well;
I like what you write better."

SCHLEY COUNTY NEWS.
Mr. J. T. Collins of Murray,s cross road,
this county says that he has the finest
corn crop growing, that he has made in
ten years and that is saying much,
for he always makes fine crops.
Miss Mary Cox sent the News office a
big beet this week that beats ail the
beets, it measures one foot ten and an
eighth inches in circumference and
weighs five pounds.
About one hundred darkies came up on
the train Sunday morning to quarterly
meeting at both churches. The crowd
was estimated at about seven or eight
hundred.
Mr. James Eubanks of this county
cordially welcomed a twelve pound boy
tc his home on the 15th. we are glad to
hear that the mother and boy are both
doing well and Mr. E. is continually
smiling.
Most of our farmers claim that the pres
ent rainy spell has been the making of
their corn but an injury to cotton. Mr.
Jessee T. Carter who was in this morning
reverses the report. He says his corn
crop is ruined but his cotton is.doing fine
ly.
Mr. T. H. Wilkinson owns up now
that he did try to clip, but did not
find the under eyelashes of his jump
ing cow, hut as he has set up the News
office to the largest, juicest, and sweetest
watermelon that we have sampled this
season, we will let up on him.
The prospect for a crop of hay,
Is best we’ve seen in many a day,
And farmers, you should save itfall:
You’ll need it for your etock next Fall.
The man who always clears the most,
Is he who makes his own composte:
The farmer must get his income*
By raising everything at home.
Mr. George Massey colided with a meal
car at Murrays mill last week and frac
tured a bone in his left leg. As Ellaville
is a “dry ’’town we presume the car was
perfectly sober and the accident was the
result of darkness. We hope to see Mr.
Massey out soon without his crutches.
A house-wife has a word to say.
About an aggravating Jay;
She wishes he had ne’er been born.
Because lie ruins her garden corn.
He perched himself upon an ear.
And when he saw no one was near,
He sailed, in with a jay bird’s pluck,
And soon had torn away the shuck.
But this didn’t seem to satisfy.
The craving heart and longing eye.
So he must now complete the job.
By eating corn all off the cob.
Brother McLeod, of the Schley coun

WASHINGTON LETTER
From our Regular Correspondent.]
Washington. D, C. July, 12th, 1889
Political sensations and very warm
weather do not usually go together in
Washington, but this week is an excep
tion, for although the thermometer has
been dancing around in the nineties all
the week we have had a real genuine
sensation. At first it was given out that
Secretary Noble had peremptorily re
moved Pension Commissioner Tanner on
account of the way in which he had been
running the Pension Office. Then it was
stated that Tanner had resigned because
the Secretary reprimanded him and As
sistant Secretary Bussey. Both of these
reports turned out to have been wrong.
Mr. Tanner has ifeither been removed,
nor has he resigned. Butoneor the oth
er may yet occur, as the relations between
the Secretary and the Commissioner are
decidedly strained. The day after Tan
ner’s return from his Western trip he re
ceived a summons from Secretary Noble
to come at once to his private office. Ar
rived there he found Assistant Secreta
ry Bussey, who has charge of the appeals
from the pension office and who is in sym
pathy with the Commissioners ideas,
and Secretary Noble. An animated dis
cussion was at once begun witli Tanner
and Bussey on one side, and Noble on the
other. It is said that the Secretary gave
them both to understand in the plainest
sort of language, that they were subordi
nates of his. And right here is, I under
stand, the root of the whole trouble. The
Secretary has no serious objection to any
thing that Tanner has done, but he ob
jects to Tanners wayjof doing them: He
wants the fact impressed on the mind of
the public that the Pension bureau is a
part of the department of the Interior,
and that he (Noble) is at the head of that
department.
Mr. Harrison has gone to join his fam
ily at Deer Park. It is given out at the
White House that he will spend very lit
tle time here for the rest of the warm
weather, not over two days a week at
the outside. This is taken to mean that
very few Presidential appointments will
be made between now and September.
Public Printer Palmer has taken his
cue from the President and is going very
slow ,n making new appointments’ He
has just made the most important in his
gift chief clerk, and the members of his
party do not like it, although the gentle
man appointed is a republican. Mr. Col
lins the lucky man, entered the office as
an apprentice, served his time and was
afterwards detailed for clerical work
He has been for several years head
book-keeper and was not an applicant
for the clearkship.
Mr. Harrison has positively refused to
give office seekers the names of parties
that make charges against them. He
says to do so would be to frighten other
people and prevent their telling him of
bad things they might know about future
applicants.
Secretary Blaine will be represented at
the State department until September by
his son, Walker, who returned from Bar
Harbor this week. I understand that
Mr. Harrison will visit Mr. Blaine at Bar
Harbor as soon as he can find time to
to map out his first message to Con
gress.
A new division has been established in
the department of Agriculture and Wm.
Hill, a Minnesota editor lias been put in
charge of it. Mr. Hill’s duties are to con
dense and simplify the reports and bulle
tins issued by the department so that
they may be understood by those not fa
milliar with technical and scientific
terms.
Senator Quays friend, ' om Cooper has
captured the ColK'Ctor.ship of the the
port of Philidelphia.
Secretary Windom has prohibited the
use of the steam plate printing presses
in the bureau of Engraving and printing,
notwithstanding the offer of the owners
of them to accept the royalty named by
Congress one cent per thousand impress
ions. They received $1.00 per thousand
previous to July.
Washington is to have another attrac
tion added to the many it already pos
sesses. The historic old line of-battle
ship “Constitution” is to be brought from
Portsmouth New Hampshire, where she
now is, to the Washington Navy Yard,
when she will be used as a receiving ship.
The Constitution has a proud history.
The department of the Interior announ
ces that no more appointments will be
made in the Census bureau until Septem
ber.
Dischargee of minor officials in the de
partments here are quite frequent just
now.
The Civil Service Cornmision was in
New , y ork City nearly , all „ this . . week. ,
Secretary Rusk denies that Gen. Felix
Argrus of the Baltimore Azneican gave
him a blooded horse as, was published.
