Georgia Coast Sunset Surpass Those Os Rivera Superintendent Otis Ashmore! of the Savannah public schools, j who during a recent sojourn along ! the Georgia coast, has returned home so enthusiastic over the trip that he will in all probably prepare a paper on what he saw to be read before the Georgia Historical Society during one of the winter meetings. Mr. Ashmore will tell of golden sunsets, more beautiful than similiar phenomena of the Italian Rivera: of a thousand miles of as ideal cruising waters as may be found in the world: of an atmos phere of romance that almost take* one back to the days when that valiant gentleman who founded the colony of Georgia A' rested from the Spanish in vaders of Georgia and Florida shores the chance to retard the j, •«•*.-> of civilization that was started under Oglethorpe’s regime. Mr. Ashmore saw the ruins of one- famous forts, over the breastworks of which Ogle thorpe's men fought against the Spaniard, and scenes which bear an important place in the settlement of this section of a great country, but‘which have, due to their remoteness, been sadly neglected in the chronicles of the early history of the coun try. In fact while several trips have been made over the beautiful and historic ground between Savan nah and Fernandina, yet Mr. Ashmore states he becomes more enthusiastic through repetition, lie and his friends who made the trip steamed leisurely through the many waterways that in their entirety will represent a distance of a thousand miles of safe cruis ing. Practically every mile of the route contains its individual attractions, and in Mr. Ashmore’s opinion should be exploited to a greater extent that more people may have the advantage of see ing them. —Savannah News. Ram’s Horn Brown. The sin of a moment can blight a whole life. Treasure laid up in heaven draws interest in this world. If you would climb, start from where you are now. One look into the face of truth will kill a lie stone dead. The greatest of all doing is doing the thing that God wants done. Tne man who loves sin is a sin ner, no matter how loud he talks in church. There are some mighty little roosters that never let you know it by their crow. Better he blind than to see nothing but the faults and short comings of others. Pointing our telescopes toward the sky is a confession that we need the Infinite. Grind up your scythe on rainy da\s or you will never make hay when the sun shines. The devil soon tires of wasting his darts on the man who has on the whole armor of God. Two big tilings follow each other all the way through the Bible: “The Lord said,’’ “and “It came to pass.” Somebody ought to say a good word for tho cow that jumped over the moon l>eeause slit' wouldn’t stay on low ground. Lightning Finds Ring. Livingston. N. J., Aug. 9. — Walking in the woods near here two young farmers came upon an old tree which has been split in half by lightning two nights age. While examining the tree the men were surprised to see some thing glistening in the wood. With some difficulty they suc ceeded in digging out a gold band wedding ring. The circle bore the inscription, “To Julia Hen derson. from John, May 17. 1878.” His Job Well Earned. Afropos of the recent appoint ment of a number of Ohio men to federal offices, James A. Lit jtleton of Columbus, a lawyer, : told a story about Buckeye men who have sought office, says the Washington Post. “Some years ago.” said Mr. Littleton, “when Joseph B. For aker was Governor of Ohio, he I was importuned by a faithful fol ! lower to appoint him to a state position. The fellow was so in sistent that finally Gov. Foraker ! hunted up a position and signed the commission. Some time went by, and one day the Governor saw his appointee lounging lazily in the lobby of one of the leading hotels of Columbus. Naturally, his curiosity was aroused. “ T thought you were work ing,’ said the Governor. ‘ ‘So I am, ’ was the reply. “ ‘Well, you seem to behaving a pretty easy time of it. 1 gave j you the appointment you have in order that you might go to work.” ” ‘Never mind, Governor,’ came the reply, ‘I had to work so hard to get this job that I don’t think I should he called upon to do anything after I have got it.’ ” P'arming That Pays. A Laurens county farmer gin ned 800 bales of cotton from 800 acres of land last year. On por tions of his farm the yield per ! acre was considerably more than a halo per acre. It is doubtful if there is another farm of the same size in the cotton belt which can show the same record. Sanders villo Georgian. Woman Has Rare Coin. Mrs. S. W. Bouquin, of Barn ey, has a 25-centgold piece which has been in her possession nearly 70 years, and although she has been offered goodly amounts for the piece of money, she refuses to give* it up. Mrs. Byuquin is over 80 years of age and when she was but a small girl went to Now York with her father to visit some relatives. While she was there a business man who rather liked the little girl gave her the 25-cent piece and she has never since allowed it to get out of her possession. The goldpioce is said to be the only one of its denomination in ithis part of the country. The Oldtime Darkey. The Times had a visit today from an old darkey by the name of Mlijah Parker, a resident of (he Ousley district in this county, who says that he was a plow-boy in 1812. He says he could work up to two years ago, is cutting new teeth, and has never worn spectacles, though his sight is getting dim now. He is well pre served in appearance for one of so great an age, his hair and heard being not entirely grey. We suppose it would be hard to find another man in the state who was plowing a hundred years ago. Valdosta Times. Materia Medica And Human Anatomy. The last time Urey Woodson was in Atlanta, Ga., he went through a factory and got so much oil and grease on his trous ers that he had to send them to an old colored man to be cleaned, says the Popular Magazine. The following morning the negro ap peared before Woodson with this lament: ” ‘Deed. Mr. Woodson, I don’t think 1 gwine be able to clean dose here pants. 1 done tried I gasoline and pearline and naph ! thy, and don’t any of them seem j to do no good. ” "Have you tried ammonia?” asked Woodson. “No. sah,“ said the old darkey, “1 ain’t tried ’em on me yet. but 1 reckon the.v’t tit me all right.” For County Troas.: PteMt* ivnirmlu r that 1 nm still a .'amlulau fur County Treasurer.
