.Mr. John I*. Copeland’s handsome

; greatly enhanced in appearance the
past week by the artistic application oi

A professional tight rope walker
stopped over in McDonough one day
last week for the purpose of giving an
open air exhibition. Before making
the exhibition, however, he canvassed
the business houses of the town for the
purpose of increasing his fiuauces, and,
in consequence—well, he hasn’t given
the exhibition up to date. At the de
pot he was heard to remark, “D d
hard town for the professional class ”

It the weather clerk fails to send us
i beautiful w'eather next Sunday there
will doubtless be much “weeping and
wailing and guashiug of teeth” among
j the fair sex. They are on the tip-toe
of anticipation as to how they will ap
pear iu their new Easter bonnets and
gowns. Now, Mr. Weather Clerk, no
foolishness; we must have bright,
springtime weather.

Last Friday mornitig our town was
visited by one of the heaviest showers

vouug society gents had themselves
photographed a la Sullivan aud Cor

An exchange says that recently an
old au hardened criminal was asked
what was the first step that led him to
bis ruin, to which he promptly answer
ed : “The first step was that of cheat
ing an editor out of a year’s subscrip
tion to his paper. When I had done
that, the devil had such a grip on me
1 couldn’t shake him off.” Pay tip
your subscription and keep out of the
hands of the devil.
The following paragraph contains 57
words, 112 e>, and no other vowel:
“We feel extreme feebleness when we
seek perfect excellence here. We well
remember men every where err. Even
when Eden’s evergreen trggs sheltered
Eve the serpent crept there. Yet,
when tempted, when cheerlessness de
pressed when helplessness fetters, when
we seemed deserted—.hen we remem
her Bethlehem; we beseech the Re
deemer’s help. We ever need tire rest
the blessed expect.”

This bit of consolation comes from
the Columbus Ledger : “So the editors
get no jobs under the new administra

anyhow.”

It has been remarked as a noticeable
fact that thatjlie majority of the boys
of tins day have no high ambition like
those of other days ; each one depends
on the other to make the great men.
They only aspire to a professional base
ball player or something of the kind.
Our boys should be taught that they
will have to run this grand old union
sometime, and that there is a place for
every one that tries.

A beautiful girl stood alone in the
room. She held a bunch of Easter
lilies in her hand. But the lillies were
no whiter or sweeter than she was. She
looked into the pure flowering cup and
sighed, and that is a sign of great hap
piness. She pinned the blossoms in
her gown and thought of a question
asked and an answer given the evening
before. Then she smiled and blushed
again. She went out. A little way
down the street a young man stood ou
the steps of a church. He seemed to
he waiting for some one. When the
beautiful girl came near, he hurried
eagerly to meet her, and when he saw
the lillies his face grew radiant. He
spoke to her, aud she smiled. Their
eyes met, and together they walked in
to church.

Cost of Canning Factories.
Many who are interested in the fruit
and vegetable canning industry natu
rally desire to kuow how much it would
cost to start a caupiug factory on a
moderate scale.
The Manufacturers’ Record goes ful
ly into the details. It says that a plum
haviug a daily capacity of 2000 cans
of three pounds each will not cost for
its entire equipment more than SIOO,
exclusive of the building and the brick
used for the chimneys, and to set the
kettles. The equipment for a 4000
canning can be bad for §2OO, not in
eluding brick oi building. Three bun
dred dollars will buy the equipment
for a factory turning out daily 10,000
cans of three pounds afcch. Tho aver
age labor cost in a -fOO can factory is
about $25 per day.
These points will an able any one to
figure out the cost of- such a plant as
may be desired to establish. Any old
warehouse or out '■building can he util
ized. It is easy enough to secure the
building. The brick needed and
the pqtirpmflnt cost only a few hundred
dollars for a lage factory. So much
for. the general features of the enter
prise.
Can’t McDonough at leaßt establish
a canning factory ?
A Good Oue on llawkins.
Editor Si Hawkins, .of tho Cutting
ton Enterprise, tells a,good one on
himself :
“We were out bird bunting Satur
day: the wind way iy<s*vi’.ig eo har-d
and the snow was falling so last. In
au effort to cross Dried Indian creek
on a log our feet slipped aud we fell in
the water. Being cold and wet wo
noticed smoke issuing from a pile of
brush in Luther Cook's new ground
and headed for it. We pulled off our
shoes, hung our socks, coat ami vest, ou
a log to dry, and theu began to prom
enade around the fire to melt tho water
out of our pants and warm our half
frozen body. In this condition an old
colored man, who lives on the place,
came upon us.
“ ‘Looks kinder like you’ve been
spiinkled by the mercion plan, an’
hvng yerself ’round loose in dis lieali
posted new ground fer to thaw,’ said
the old man as he pulled his own coat
up around his ears.
“‘I fell in the creek, am wet, cold,
tired, hungry, sleepy, sick aud broken
down, and if I live to get homo will
stay there until linen duster time,’ said
we, with our back to the old man, being
determined that he should not see oui
face or find out our name.
“ ‘Boss, I’se a new nigger in dis des
trict, doau know who you is, or whar
you lives at, or whar you gwiue, hut it
’pears to me a man w’at nusses a gun
an’ a piuter dorg such a mornin’ as dis,
ain’t got no one to blame for Juie down
fall, ’ceptin’ hissef. Marse Jack Mead
ors was er tellin’ ov me last year dat
dar wa’n’t but one man iu de world dat
was wild enough to hunt birds iu a
storm an’ his name was Enterprise
Hawkins. Mought dat be your trim
min’, boss ?’
“The old man stepped out into, the
field and laughed until he almost cried.
We hurriedly gathered our things to
gether, placed them under our arms
aud went down to a pine thicket to
dress and to weep.”

In Memory of Ills Mother.
The following beautiful and touch
ing lines were indited by Mo ntgomery
M. Folsom, to Urn memury of his dead
mother :
W i‘!i Time’s first touch of vernal,
Thy ransomed you! took wing;
To smi-briglit clime eternal,
Ami everlasting spring!
Wliv should 1 slid be weeping.
Ami mourning thee as dead;
When angels watch are keeping
Around thy painless bed 1
For me, the sad awaking,
The sorrow; sodden brow;
No more thy still heart aching,
As mine is aching now!
No more mvaimour flashes, .
All stained with sinful rust;
Thine? Ashes unto ashes,
A ml dust unto dust!
But while in this drear region
Slil gropes my wen i d soul,
Thine, through divine religion,
Hath gained its glorious goal.
A sinner unforgiven,
Hopeless, homesick I roam;
Thoo in God’s restful heaven,
Forevermore at home!
A Good Old Woman.
The sparks from our anvil and forge
were emitted in giving tho readers of
I'iit. Wm.ki.y a brief statement of the
two young ladies of whom wo have
made mention. One of thorn has been
married several years, yet she is still
compaiatively a young woman. We
propose in this communication to speak
of an elderly lady, one whom wo have
known for three score years. Just
at this time this good old mother is
very deeply afflicted, and her friends,
who are numbered by the scores of
hundreds, will deeply regret to hear
of her serious and painful illness. If
sincere wishes and earnest prayers will
avail anything in her behalf, she will
soon he restored to her wonted health
and strength. The hand of no woniau
in all this hroat^land has contributed
more in providing for tho wants of
those who were fed at her table. Hun
dreds who have ofteu shared in her
hospitality have long since passed
away, never to return. Four score
ami frrnr years has she boon treading
life’s rugged pathway, and it is now
certain that she is nearing the end of
her journey. Unpretentious in all that
site was, and did, her life's work has
been finished. Fortunately for her,
she has loving ones with sufficient
means to provide every coinfort that
this life affords. Yet she lias long
looked beyond the boundaries of this
life towards a better country, where
the head has no pain and tiie heart no
sorrow Her hope and prospects for a
rich inheritance over iu that better
land are all bright and peaceful. She
lias fought a good fight, she has finish
ed her race, hut best of all she has
kept the faith, and is ready to be of
fered up whenever the messenger shall
come. The hour is near at head when
the sad tidings shall he spreud far and
wide that aunt Sallio is dead ; hut not
so, she will only be a little ahead, wait
ing at the gate. Husband, children,
one aud all, she will he there, waiting,
watching and looking for you.

5 CENTS A COPY.
PORK IN TIIK SOUTH.
%
The Polly of Importing and not liais
ing it There.
Our farmers are paving 12 1-2 cents
per pound cash for pork, and 15 to 18
cents credit prices, says Col. Edwin
Montgomery, of Mississippi, in the
Country Gentleman. The great bulk
t)f the pork consumed in the cotton
slates is shipped in here from the west,
and yet in no section of this broad un
ion can hogs bo raised so cheaply as in
our southern country. Our mild cli
mate, which does not necessitate such
heavy and protracted feeding and such
warm shelter, is very much in our fa
vor. Our lands are cheap, labor cheap
and fencing cheap. We can have good
grazing for nine months of the year.
We have the greatest variety of foods
to select from, all cheaply grown, such
as artichokes, chufas, peanuts, cow
peas, sweet potatoes, and several vari
eties of clover that we might mention
and that flourish well in the south on
lauds adapted to their culture. For
permanent pasture none of the north
ern grasses can, in all respects, equal
our liermuda. It makes a tough sod,
and the land once sodded will afford
continuous pasturage for a life time.
Grass is the best and cheapest of all
crops for hogs as well as horses, cattle
and sheep. There is no better grazing
for hogs than liermuda. Then we have
the Leipedcza striatta, which grows
spontaneously all over this southuru
country. Chemical analysis has shown
that it is, in nutritive value, align! oj
reti ofrfrrr. TTiViTcYi m * nthtT ViiTtiliWß
grasses of spontaneous growth that
supplement the above for pasture.
When the grasses fail there are many
other crops cheaply grown and harves
ted that give fine results in growing
pork choaply.
There is no good reason why a single
pound of pork should ever he shipped
South. The idea that much corn is
needed in order to raise and fatten
swine successfully is only imagination.
We, can grow the corn but we can
grow other crops more economically
that are better for hogs and more
cheaply grown. Wo only need to feed
a little corn a short time before the
slaughtering, in order to harden the
fleih, and even this is not absolutely
noces try. It is a foolish idea that
ftn-ding much corn is essential to suc
cess yi swine breeding.
Our people in the South cannot af
ford, at any price, to continue buying
•their pork from the West.
There is no good reason for it. Tho
drain upon our finances is too great,
i iie yearly expenditures of our South
!mi people to llie West for hog pro
| ducts aggregate an enormous sum of
uonoy. Suppose this were retained at
hom i and put into circulation here,
how much it would add to tho accutuu-
latcil Wealth of our section and coun
try ! Where money is scarce it is liaid
to acquire property and amass money,
but where money is plentiful and eir
cu’ates freely, there is a far better
eli mce for all who give proper atten
tion to our business to get our fingers
on some of it. A country to be pros
p* rous must make the best possible use
of its natural resources and capabi ities.
