to think that any white man could
tree them from any and all diseases,
To gratify them I went, and found the
mother in the scorching sunshine with
the child clasped to her bosom, and
more distressed look I never saw on the
face of a civilized mother. I could do
nothing for the little sufferer but have it
removed to a shade and a wet cloth ap
plied to its fevered 1 row. To-day it is
belter the fever having cooled off. The
over joyed parepts%ttnbuting it to my
skillful treatment, called on me to learn
my name, (repeating it over and over,)
that they might confer upon me the dis
tinguished honor of having my name in
in full given to a future noble warrior,
but I atn half inclined to think he’s a
girl); however, 1 feel highly flattered by
the compliment, and have about decided
to run for Congress or a constable on
the strength of it.
INFANCY AND OLD AGE,
The hardships endured by the Semi
noles are rather severe for infants, and
1 am of the opinion that a large propor
tion die ere they reach their teens. Af
ter passing that age, however, they ap
pear to have a pretty sure lease of a long
life, and cases of extreme longevity aie
are quite common among them. I offer
this merely as my own opinion, based
upon personal observation, without any
statistical proof from other sources.

I was proud to see the large crowd out
to hear Brother Beck last week, I for
one, felt that it was good to he there. On
the subject of politics and the Alliance 1
heartily endorce what he said. The gen
eral opinion once prevailed that the Al
liance was a political machine used only
as a tool to further the political aspira
tions of a few, but in point of fact noth
ing kills a man quicker with the Alli
ance than to attempt to bring politics
into it. The president of the Alliance
of Georgia felt that.

As instances of what careful farming
can do in .this section we mention the
following: One young farmer reports
an average on the entire acreage of a
small farm, two hales of cotton to ev
ery three acres. Another on an adjoin
ing place will gather 15 bales of cotton
and corn, peas, potatoes, etc , enough
to supply the farm for a year on a one
horse farm. In both cases there was but
little spent for fertilizers.
Probably, cholera among hogs never
prevailed in this section, to a greater ex
tent than now. Hardly a farm in some
places has escaped its ravages. Report
says that Mr. G. W. C. Munro has lost
about 130 heads, while others have lost
jn a like proportion.
