ELLAYILLE, GA. THURSDAY JULY 25 1889. SCHLEY COUNTY. Schley County is composed of teritory cut off from Sumter, Marlon and Macon counties. It was organized in 1859, and named for one of the old Colonial Governors of Georgia; Gov ernor Schley. Its location is Southwest-Central. Area 180 square miles. General features, hilly, inter spersed with level plateax. The soil is very fertile all over the county, but varies in color, some places being red clay, some dark brown, very sticky in wet weather, some pebbly and some sandy, under-laid with clay subsoil. Cotton, corn, sugar-cane, oats, peas, pota toes, pumkins, melons, rice, wheat, rye, bar ly, peanuts and chufas; peaches, pears .prunes, pomegranates, plums, apples, apricots, quin ces, cherries, grapes, mulberries, strawberries, raspberries, goose berries, beets, cabbage, cu cumbers, squashes, tomatoes, turnips and oth er field, orchard and garden products, grow hero to perfection. The fence corners, waste places in old field and forest, abound in all kinds of wild fruit, such as blackberries, blueberries, gooseberries whortleberries, May haws, black haws, plums, cherries, crab apples,persimmons, fox grapes, Winter grapes, muscadines, Chinquepins, hickory nuts and chestnuts. Besides the native crab, crowfoot an<l other grasses, many of the best varieties ofimport e<l grasses do well here, especially Barinuda, herds, blue and orchard grass. The no fence law prevails in the county, yet stock raising is rapidly becoming one of the leading industries of the county some of the finest horses in the South are raised here, and the rich golden butter and sweet country hams that are daily brought to market by the far mers of Schley, could not be beaten anywhere. Cotton is the money crop of the county, but bappiiy the day has past and foreverr gone : when the people of Schley depended on other I sections for their meat and bread. Nearly ev | cry and (Aviuer in the county makesplcnty of corn bacon for homo consumptions and many 1 of them make a surplus to sell. No particular attention is given to poultry raising, yet the people have all the* want for home use and one man with ahorse and wagon keeps busy , the year round hauling chi; kens and eggs from Schley county to Americas. The health of the county is excellent, thenv erage elevation being near two thousand feet above sea level and drainage is generally, good j an epidemic of any diseases, was never known I beib. The farminer people of Schley are intelifront cultivated and refined as any agriculturc-d peo ple in the world. The county is dotted with ! school houses and churches, arid a half grown nciwn who cannot read and write is seldom, jjt ever met with, and of the negro race most I of them since freedom can read and write.

Sumter Republican. “LEAD OVER HEELS,” Last Monday morning an Atlanta po liceman was attracted to Mercer's Alley by most unearthly screams. Looking upward he saw a woman hanging out of a third story window and a man holding her by the feet. The woman was making frantic efforts to get away from the man. The man was straining every muscle to draw her back into the room. Both were screaming at the top of their voices—the woman screaming to the man to let her go; the man yelling for somebody to come and help him. lne officer ran up tiv* stairway in. tne building until lie came to the third floor. He found the right room and broke open the door which was locked. In a few mo meats the woman was pulled into the room. The man thanked theofiic: rand has!i jy left the room, the policeman arrested the womau for disorderly conduct. On the way to the poleic station she swallowed a white powder before the officer could prevent her. “You wouldn't let me go to hell one way—I reckon 1 can go auotnei, su-ic marked. At the stationhouse she was given emetics, and she had to again postpone her contemplated journey. Tin* woman is no; mmv than eighteen n,, s Of age. mid a beautiful brunette. a, ivrilton on..,, et. is "Laura Davis, but she stated to a Journal reporter that her ngln name is Lizzie Hobbs.

Obtaining Shelter in mi Atlanta Bomb-Proof. During the session of an important religious body in our city, I made the acquaintance of the Rev. Mr. Dubuque, a delegate from one of the northwestrn states, says a writer in the Atlanta Con stitution, Wliat attracted me to the man was his amiability and meekness. Mr. Dubuque came up to my ideal of a preacher, and 1 found his companion ship very pleasant. One afternoon my western friend asked mo if I thought that any of the bomb-proofs, dug Iiy the citizens during the siege of Atlanta, were still in existence. He desired to see one, "as he had been requested by his friends at home to sketch it. ‘■I know of one that we can reach in a ten-min utes walk,” I said. Mr. Dubuque was delighted, and wo were soon on our way to the place. I had a slight acquaintance with the old lady upon whose premises the bond, proof was situated, and when we reach ed the place and stated the object of our visit, permission was readily given examine the queer-looking hole in the ground which, had served as a refuge f r()ni Sherman's shells. The f ort unate!y was in a fine state of pre station, and the<»ld lady pointed it out to us with a 'mod deal ,l i of «>ride pun. At ai first we saw only a huge mound of earth covem ] with grass, but at one end we f 0 u n( i an opening ton crooked under ground chamber, about (i feet hum, and fi ve itl w ifi t h. No falling shell had suf ficient force to penetrate that mound composed of red clay, timber, and scrap iron. When we scrambled out of the gloomy place, the old lady remarked that when she occupied it, the walls lined with old carpets, and the floor was covered with ruggs. "With a few chairs and some blankets, her farni ly had found a night in the dug-out, she called it, very endurable. "Those were isi firing t rues, said Mr. Dubuque. "They were indeed,” replied our host ess. "lean never forgive Gen. biier man lor shelling a city full of women and children.” "One of the necessities of war. said the preacher in an lumerfom By the way, did any of your soldiers ever seek she'. ter in this snug little hole';” Only one,’ replied He lady, “and lie tll,ned out to ‘ a ankee s ‘ i ^ * ^ "Is it possible; her two listeners ex Claimed. “Yes, I was nevhr so surprised in nu life.

As he turned'to go, af ter thanking the mistress of the house for her courtesy, Mr. Dubuque, before* replacing his hat, brushed away his cur ly :ocks from Iris right temple, revealing two little scars, and gazed at the good lady, who was smiling upon him. ‘‘My goodness!” exclaimed the excit ed woman. Why, you are the spy; the man himself!” The four leading newspaper of New ^° l 'k, t he Sun, World, Heral l and limes, issued bulletines last Monday making a reduction of ten pec cent on compositors prices.. On refusal of the men to accept the rates, a lockout took place. James Gordon Bennett cabled 110,11 Europe to Editor Henderson to Bike down the obnoxious notice.

Blessed be childhood, which brings. down something of heaven into the midst of our rough earthliness. These 80.000* daily births, of which statistics tell us, l ' e T mHont as il were an eliusion of Co ce,, V e »<*««. struggling not only ^‘ unht tiie death o' the i ace. bat against immancorruptionandtheuniversalgan* g re no of sin. All the good and whole some feeling which is intertwined with, childhood and the cradle is one of the secrets of the providential government of the world. Suppress this lite giving dew ami human society would be scorched* and devastated by selfish passion. Sup posing that humanity had been composed, of a thousand millions of immortal be digs, whose number could neither in crease nor diminish, where should we be and what should we be! A thousand times more learned,* no doubt, but it, thousand times more evil. There would have been a vast accumulation of science, but all the virtues engendered by suffer ing and devotion—that is to say, by the family and society— would have no-exist ence. And for this there would be no, compensation. Blessed lie childhood tor the good that it does, and for the good which it brings about c;uelessly and un consciously by simply making us love it and letting itself be loved. What Iittle of paradise we see still on earth is due to. p s presence among us. Without father hood, without motherhood, I think that love itself would not be enough to pre vent men from devouring each, other— men, that is to say, such as human pas sions have-made them. Tin*angels Imve* no need of birth and death as founda tions for their life, because their life is. heawqdy. Amici s Journal, traiiolateu. by Mr,. Humphrey Ward.
