Beksiblk. The farmers of Hancock

Resolved, That henceforth we will us*

make the former aDd the latter at home, be
lieving that this course only will keep our
eelvea sad our families from starvation, our
few inherited acres oot of the hands of the
sheriff, and save us the forebodings and sp
pieheoeious of coding our days ob seme pau
per farm in vain regrets over our past foilies
and pevbips rofepfaeed confidence.”
Human Life and Ifa Value.
It does seem as if human life has fearfully
depreciatid of late years. From some cause
tew valne is plaeed nnnn it now than for
merlv. In fact, it tbieht be quoted with
the bonds of tome of the bankrupt cities—
Mobile or Memphis, for instance. In former
times the taking of Unman life was a serious
matter ; end crimes such as murder or sni
cide were of rare occurrence. The one was
comm'tted only when almost svery resource
for satisfaction had failed or been defeated
while the other was done when life had be
come utterly aselrga. Trne, people are actu
ated by 'he sume motive* in this day. bnt
there is such a vast increase in crime—a«
evidenced by the nnmberlrss eases recorded
every day—that we are constrained to re
gard It as the greatest of gi owing evils.
Nearly every paper that comes to this office
contains an account of a suicide or murder.
One man gets drank, or.is disappointed in
love, or is thwarted in some pet scheme, and
immediately resorts to the pistol or rope,
throwing awsy a life dear to
otbefff if not to himself, bccanse he las not
the courage to meet misfortune or disap
pointment. A truly brave man will eot take
his own life. If a man becomes embarrassed
be should face his difficultiis as becomes a
man; a bold heart and determined purpose
can accomplish much, even under the most
trying difficulties, and he must be pitiably
weak who would commit self-destruction
simply ta rid himself of his troubles. The
very highest standard of human eouroge is
that which incites and nerves and supports a
man in the hour of trouble. Aided th»s, he
aets to work to retrieve his lost fortunes, and
with such spirit and energy that bis efforts
are usually crowned with success. But if
be is lucking in this high quality, he gives
the best evidence oflbe fact by choosing the
disgraceful alternative of destroying himself.
As to murder, it is becoming a thing of
every day occurrence. Men are shot down
upon the least provocation, and about the
only regret the slayer has is for the loss of
his ghaige of powder and shot. Since the
war the number of men slain in personal
encounters is fearfully large, and every day
it becomes larger.
All this brings misery and suffering, and
lessens regard for the law. It does more.
It begets a feeling ol olarm, dread —of inse
curity in the community. It engenders a
feeling, also, of suspicion, because such
crimes are not usually committed in the
presence of witnesses. Aye, it upsets human
calculation, and causes general demurs] za
tion.
Surely, these painful occurrences, which
are clothing so many innocent women and
children with mourning, is not indicative of
a mental or moral declension among men ?
It cannot be that our people are fess able to
combat misfortune or sorrow than formerly,
•r that the world is not as beautiful as in
years gone by * Life is as sweet, and its
aims and objects as exalted, as ever, and be
who takes his own life, or that of another,
fails to appreciate them.
Let those wha may read these erode re
flections, ponder the points herein treated.
New Orleans.
In view of the festive scenes transpiring in
Naw Orleans, to which public attention is
mors or lees attracted, we append the fol
lowing description of the eity, from a cor
respondent of the 'limes . If what is said be
true the Mardi Gras is certainly ill-timed :
“The sanitary condition of this city, how
ever, is exceedingly bad and not calculated
• o impress visitors very favorably toward us.
In all my experience here of nearly a quar
ter of a century the streets, gutters and gen
eral drainings of the piuce has never been in
such a bad and disgasting'y filthy condition.
Everything that is calculated to cause mias
roatic vapors, poisonous exhalations from
cesspools, garbage, decaying mutters ami
nastiness of the most dangerous character, is
lying around loose in every quarter of the
city. As lam one of those persons who
huve, Irom experience, good reason to be
lieve that the germs ol yellow fever and
pestilene? of all kinds remain in the locali
ties where they once appear, and can be
aroused into activity hy impregnation from
viru'ent importation, as well ns such a fillbv
condition as now prevo Is, I am sure that we
shall have another epidemic unless the city
is put in a good sanitary condition at an
early day. 'I be streets arv more disgustingly
Gltby, pestiferous, malarial and poia nuns
than at anv time in my recollection. As the
Board of Health is comparatively powerless
and thoroughly incompetent to the task ol
taking c.>re of the public health, we need
not expect anything will be done to prevent
a recurrence of the terrible experience of
last year.”
Tovgb—The editor of the Calhoun Times
sends forih the following toagh yum. As
no affidavits as to the truthfulness of the
statement are attached, we presume they
were not considered necessary :
‘ Rabbits are quit* plenum) this year, if a
certain young man of Calhoun is to be be
lieved. He has lately been in the country,
and rays lie counted several dozen that bad
attempted to ernes the tend, got stuck
in the mud, and were run over by vehicles
and killed."
The State Fair. —The State Agricultu
ral Society, at its session in Hawkinsville,
decided to hold the next State Fair iu the
city of Macno. It was not settled where it
should be permanently located. Augusta
made energetic efforts lo have the Fair there,
but Macon came off victorious. This settles
the matter for the present Now let all the
fritDtJs of the State unite rn making ‘hs ex.
hibitlon a grand success. Atlanta, who
generously surrendered her claims, will re
spond with glowing ardor, and other cities
and neighborhoods will be as clever. No
matter bow divided we may be on other
questions, on this we ebon Id all unite, and
we believe all will.
fli&li Priced Lit dies.
Times may be hard and work may be
scarce, money light and rates of accommo
dation h'gh, bnt there are pe pie who seem
to be able to bowl Hlong pietty gaily in the
rush of old-t'me extravagance, and make the
dollars flr profusely. It ir not only your
bonanza people uf low birth and mushroom
wealth who buy the laces nnd jewels, which
crowned heads deemed unncceseaiily costly
who fling money awav on articles that are
merely high-priced, without regard to taste
or fitness. Women of. tar less wealthy sur
rounding! embark in the race of extravagant
outlay, and acquire a reputation of "buying
only the dearest.”
An instance of this character was related
to a New* reporter by a lady who had wit
nessed a curious scene in a fashionable milli
ner’s establishment. T his- lady had gone in
with the intention of purchasing a bonnet
Roving matte a choice of one costing 814. it
was being pnt up for her, when a lady, tftf
wife of a merchant, and aomewhnt noted for
her pronounced costumes, entered on the
same errant!. Ihe whole establishment was
ransa> ketl to please her; bonne's and hats
S2O to 850 were rt jected us “rather com
mon," “cheap mater al," etc. Finally, the
milliner txbibited a bonnet the exact coon
terpart of that sold a few moments before
for sl4. and demanded $75 lor it, as the
most recherche piece of bead-gear in the es
tablishment. On this representation it was
put chased at once, paid for ami ordered sent
home Y\ ben the purchaser had gone the
lady first mentioned -said to the milliner :
“Row could you have the conscience to
clmrge 875 for just such u bonnet as you let
me have for sl4 ?”
"Madam,” replied the shrewd business
woman, "that lady has to be charger! five
prices, or sl.e will not buy, and there are a
dozen like her whom 1 could name. Do you
know that she has such an idea of extravi
gance that when she want, for once in her
life, to order some roust beef from a leading
butcher in the market, and the butcher said
he could give her a tieuuiilul cut for ten
cents a pound, she snapper! back, 'You ought
to know better than to think we can eat ten
cent meat 1’ ‘Oh,’ replied the butcher, ‘wt
can give you some at eighteen cents,’ and
be has ever since supplied that luridly with
meat at eighteen cents which other people
get at ten.”
Thi* is a lact. It may be pleasing to re
mark, in this conmction, that the husband
of the lady obtained a settlement With his
crcdi'ors a couple ol years ago, on very easy
terms—about ten cents on the dollar—ami is
thus able to afford such little vaguries.—

The Atlanta Cotton Factory.
Steam cotton factories have not proved
valuable investments in the S> uth as Auguoa
and Columbus have splendid and prosperous
factoriea to compete with in the principal
markets.
Still, Mr. fl. I. Kimball felt sure that his
wonderful powers of -‘development’’ could
build and put in operation a large ami pros
perous Hieum col'on f ctory in the ciiy of
Atlanta I was present, sevcial years ago,
when Hon. A. H. Stephens and other dis
tinguished men aiade speeches, and Kimbull
dug up the fif-t spade lull of dirt. I huve
watched the movement from tbut hour to
the presant moment with an impartial but
crit cal eye
One of the best built factory buildings
has been erected, and the machinery put in,
hat this is all. Silence and idleness have
hung over and pervaded the place for the
past two rears. Judge J. A. Hayden, now
of Fort Reid. Florida, with other stock
holders, refused to pay his subscription, and
the case has just been finally decided in bis
favor by the Supreme Court He resisted
payment on the ground that Kimball, with
out means, bad subscribed to $60,000 worth
of stock, and that other subscriptions were
equally as bogus or worthless.
Other troubles have arisen, from time to
time, but Kimball bas managed to hold on
and draw his salary. Cupt. J. W. English,
at the stockholders’ meeting two years ago,
denounced Kiinbill openly to his face as a
thiel. and charged that he would finally s'eal
the whole factory. I tl eo favored Kimball’s
election, but now see that Capt. English
was on the right track. Kimball was reiu
loreed by Bullock, and together they at
ttmptcd to gobble op the entire machinery,
but the Lowell machine shop secured the
able services of Judges McCuy und Trippe
and blocked in the courts “their little game.’’
These bonds weie issued and Bullock (R B)
went North to sell them
Well, to make a long matter short, the
boods buveu t sold, and the Lowell machine
shop has taken possession of its property and
offered it for sale. Kimball imimdiately
hies away North lo meet Bullock, and iLe
public inmd is agitated to kuow what is to
be the next move of the great developer.
Report says Bullock’s family corinectrooa
huve bought a mortgage on the factory
building, and will probably seek to get pos
session of it,- through a toiced sae, at a low
figure. Tbty will Sml a few sola! stock
holders. however, prepared to make a stub

A Navel Decision.
A Georgia police jnat ice has just decided
a cs c r whose hearing* have more than a
local significance. Seven barbers were
brought before him charged with violating
the law which ordains that no “tradesman,
artificer, workman, laborer or other persons
wba'evrr," shall pursue an ordinary business
on Sundavs except In es«es of neee«sity. or
charitv, nnd as the accused men plead guilty
to the charge, (be question for d'-cision was
whether when a barber shaves anybody his
net i’ an net either of necessity or of charitv.
The police justice held that it is an act of
necessity, and disc' arged the prisoner*
Many things, he explained, are neces-ities
now which one* wprp easily dispensed with ;
the consumption of ice, for example, the
rldine in strr t-cars and in <a r ri g“s "Is
it the spirit of the law." he asked. ‘ to pun
ish a man for that whiah has from habit
become the necessity of h city?" The word
"necessity,” tie argn<*d might embrace “such
things as we now recognize by habit or
usNge to be essential to the well-being of
society.” Moreover a barber’s shop, whete
men attend to the requirements of cleanli
ness. may he as necessary in some instances
as a drug-shop "For tnvseli,” he said in
conclusion, ‘ I cannot feef that the use of a
barber's shop for purposes of cleanliness is
in spirit a vinlatmu of the Lord’s day."
If the police justice had chosen the alter
native mentioned in the statute, and hud
held that shaving is a work of charity and
therefore allowable on Sunday, he might
have made even a stronger decision. No
gentleman, it is safe to sav, would attend
church on Sunday unless he had shaved on
the morning of that day ; bat many a gen
tleman is simply una’de to shave himself
without the shedding of blood, the ebullition
of leirqier, and the provocation to hasty and
objectionable terms of reprouch upon him
self. hi* strap or his razor On the othur
hand, when in the barber ’a chair, the spirits
arc soothed, and (lie soul is attuned to n flec
tion and meditation. Is it, or is it not a
work of charity to fit a man in this wise for
the pr vih'ges and dutire of the sanctuary ?
A Colored Man Made Happy. —Old

He is a blacksmith, and for many years past

plaee last week. Old Ned was present and
saw his beloved tools put up by the auc

spoon, and he no doubt felt that he was a
ruined muD, his rmly means of support for
himself and family being taken from him;
and despair (serried to settleVw the otd main’s
face. Imagine his feelings then, when .Judge
Witherspoou said to him: “Well, Ned,
you are a good and faithful workman, and
you have stood by your white friends ever
since you were a bee man ; therefore, I pre
sent you with this entire set ol tools in b -
halt of yuur Democratic friends" To old
Ned it was a Iran it from darkness to light,
from de‘ pest dcji-clion to perfect joy A

which was delightful to behold ; and he
went home that night, without doubt, the
happiest man in Madison county.

of the tools except one prorata share, and

An A ccvoukO Sfate and Hitt. —Boston
is a Democratic eity and Georgia is a Dem
ocratic State. and the acenrsed corruption
and extravagance of Democratic rule have
so wrought upon tlieereuit of there unhappy
communities that they are the only two
bodies politic in the country, exclusively of
the United States, which can float 4 per
cent, loans at par. Tne rascally public offi
cials of Georgia, to conceal their nefarious
schemes and the exbuustid condition of the
trea-ury, have even adopted the miserable
subterfuge of paying their obligations before
they fall due. Such are the results of over
throwing the government of the carpet
bagger, by the carpet-bagger and for the
carpet-bagger, and substituting in its place
a system which has no nobler aim than
making both ends meet.— N. Y. World ,
