An Unavailing Deed.
None but the priuter who has this
paper to overlook can fully understand
why this unusual heading for a short
essay on Deeds has been chosen. On
the opposite side of this single sheet of
paper may be seen a defaced form of a
and deed. Owing to some iuadver
tancy a mistake was made in the word
ing of the deed, aud so fatal was the
mistake, the conveyance was tendered
null aud void and the paper on which I
am now writing, was thrown aside as a
thing despoiled, and unavailing in the
purposes for which it was intended.
It is Christmas eve night. The old
year has well nigh past, and gone to be
numbered with the years of the mighty
jiast. Could the records of the Deeds
written aud enacted by the children of
earth be unfolded to our vision, who of
us would have cause to blush, on ac
count of the shame and disgrace that
would be seen" written with indelible
ink upon the face of our midnight se
cret deeds ? Ah, youug men, the time
has come for you to go torth to indulge
in past time amusements. What acts
will you commit that will he entered
upou the record of your Deeds ? Who
of you that will fall in drunken stupor
to night, reveling in low and profane
language. Do you realize the deep
aud bitter anguish that your loving
mother’s heart is undergoing to night,
in account of the unknown wherea
bouts of her darling sou ? She is
thinking of her wild and thoughtless
boy. He is away from home to night,
and she cannot tell what may befall
him, before his foot tread is heard again
at the door steps. She is fearful that
her darling boy will be led into wild
dissipation and midnight revelry, and
ere she is permitted to look upon his
sinking face again, the cold haud of
death may be laid upon his active lifo
l:ke form, and chill the heating pulsa
that was so uniform, vibrating from
center to circumference when last he
went out from his childhood’s home.
It is this fearful dreaded week, young
man, that bears upon its pinions, so
many dark forebodings to your loving
mother's hardened heart. She is
weary and sad, though she has just
fiuished up the labors of the day, and
has retired to rest, yet she is sleepless
on account of her absent hoy. Shall I
tell her where her boy is to night,
No, young man, no. Let me spar* her
the cruel torture of kindling the flames
that are already burning the life cords
of her aching heart, when the fearful
week is past, and the record of your
daik Deeds are brought to light, that
will be soon enough for her to know
where you are, and what you are do
ing tonight. Let us not forget that
our Deeds all go on record, aud if they
are never revealed in this life, there is
an hour coming when they will all
come to the light. W. T. G.
Things That Follow.
The Grippe is bad enough of itself,
making life a burden for the time, but
is more to be dreaded because of the
things that follow it. These things are
such as Nervous Prostration, Weak
ness, a lingering Cough, Bronchitis,
Catarrh, Consumption. Thousands
are dying every year from diseases that
follow the Grippe. There is absolutely
no need that any one should have seri
ous trouble with ihe Grippe. Dr.
King's Royal Germetuer will cure it,
taking it out of the system root and
branch. Pleasant to take as lemonade.

A visiiing planter from Yazoo coun
ty while in the city lately, remarks the
Vicksburg Herald, said that county
claimed the banner cotton crop of the
year for one of its farmers, Mr. Beaure
gard Wilson, living three miles north
of Yazoo City. He worked nine mules
the past year and made 300 bales of
cotton, an average of bales to tbe
mule. He cultivated no corn whatev
er. After disposing of his crop at an
average of 5 cents a pound, and paying
his expenses, his net profit amounted to
83,950.

A God-Favored Region.
If you will survey the whole field
over, and gaze at every star on the
\merican flag, you will find, aft r all,
that ihere are not e better and fairer
ban Georgia.
We are an agricultural people and
we have a state that is unsurpassed iu
rhe productiveness aud capabilities of
its soil. \Ye are also beginning to turn
our attention to manufactures, and in
her resources and varied advantages,
Georgia rivals and eveD surpasses the
east.
We really don’t know what a good
thing we have got. Right now, in
Newfoundland, riotous mobs aie cry
iug for “work or bread;’’ in Ohio the
miners are suffering and fifty thousand
people destitute of food and fuel; in
Nebraska the long droughts have de
vastated the country and the farmers
have nothing to eat.
How is it with us ? None of us are
rich, very few have any money at all,
on account of five cent cotton. But
uone of us are suffering: we have plen
ty to eat—we have com, aud syrup and
meat, and other necessaries of life.
We never perish with cold or want for
fuel; our climate is mild, aud when the
tail end of a western blizzard does
grow so hold as to slap us in the face
we can always have a good fire around
which to warm ourselves.
We are a favored people—and yet,
somehow, we don’t seem to know it.
All we need is a little more money, and
we are going to have that before an
other year is gone.—Oglethorpe Eclio.
These Are Slanders.
A Philadelphia girl is so modest
that she will not go to bed while the
Christian Observer is in the same room.
A Tabor seminary girl declines to walk
up a steep hill for fear her breath will
come iu short pants. A Malvern wom
an will not bathe in the same room with
potatoes until she has picked out their
eyes. A Hamburg maiden refuses to
wear a chatelain watch-chain attached
to her p3rso», because the watch j.has
bauds. An Emerson girl locks herself
in her room every time she hears a
brass baud approaching. She vows
she will never look at any drum-major
who parades in his bear skin. A Pa
cific Junction belle is too modest to be
sympathetic. She cannot tolerate a
lellow feeling. Dakota City has a
young lady so bashful she refuses to
eat at a table where lettuce is served
undressed. And Bakenfield has a
young lady who always goes without
gloves, because she don’t want any no
di essed kids ab ut.—Leesburg (Fla.)

It Was a Surprise. -
t
Two sweet young things , |et in a
steam car, says the Chica ( * Times.
They hadn't seen each other forages,"
and they l ad to retail the ac jmnlation
of news. ; u*
“Oh, do you know,” said £ one iu
brown “that Harry Flittres i tot. marry
Rlanche Hilton ?”
“I hadn’t heard of it,” sai ti e one
in gray. “Tell me about iu ,
“Well. 1 have heard of it fom sev
eral sources, and I must ill that I
don't think Blanche is to be Kongratu
lated.”
“Why not ?” A
“Why, don’t you kuowp what a
wretched flirt Mr. Flittres isj”
The one in gray shook her«]iead.
“Well, it is so. And that isn’t the
worst of it.”
“What else ?”
“He’s awfully fast.”
“Really?”
“Yes, everybody knows It. Goes
with the rapidest set of men ity the city.
Gambles, bets on horse races, drinks.”
“Oh, surely not!" • A
“Fast. Drinks like a fish- Was I
carried home in a very mellow state
one night last week ”
“I can’t believe it.”
“Oh, it’s true. They say *Blauche
won’t believe it either. you

“No.”
“Well, perhaps she doesn't f deserve
any sympathy for marrying such a fel
low. I don’t sympathize much with
htr myself.”
“1 don’t believe she is going to be
married to him,” said the one in gray.
“Don’t you ? Why?”
“Because I am to be married to him
myself uext month. This is Jny cor
ner. Good-by.”
And the sweet young thing in gray
stopped off the car, leaving the sweet
young thing in brown gazing after her
in wide eyed amazement.
Lincoln’s Boyhood.
Lincoln, when a hoy,
the farm work, and yet faithfiv r Y ac
complished his share of it, lo’rpng for
ward every day to a twilight hour with
his books. When the last of the rough,
tiresome chores were done, tall Abra
ham would drag his chair into the door
yard, and lipping it back by propping
his big feet against the side of the house
forget his labor iu reading the dictiona
ry. Ilis only other books were the
Bible, “iEsop’s Fable’s,” “Robinson
Crusoe,” “I’ilgrim's Progress,” a life
of Washington and a history of the
United States.
When these lost interest, lie would
walk to the nearest town and on pre
cious bits of paper copy down inch ex
tracts as he could make from ponderous
lawbooks in the constable’s office in or.
der to have fresh reading material.
Even his dictionary studies had to be
given up in winter when there was no
twilight and uo candles. So on the
back of the wooden fire shovel, with a
piece of charcoal, he would amuse him
self by working out mathematical prob
lems and writing essays that could be
shaved off, leaving him a fresh surface.
Another of his favorite amusements
was making comic stamp speeches to
men working in his father’s fields. —

As predicted, the Nebraska relief
train is proving a fine advertisi ment
of Georgia, no matter w hat else in »y
lie said of it. The relief train has at
tracted grvat attention throughout the
country. In the coutse of an article on
the subject the New York Sun says :
“Their generos’ty will he apprecia
ted. We are happy to say that there
has been hut little suffering from a luck
of thu necessaries of life in any of the
Southern Slates during the long period
of hard times.
“The states of the South have for
years striven to attract imigration to
their fertile fields and unoccupied
landg. Wo believe that that their ser
vice iu helping Nebraska will be more
effectual in attracting to themselves
imigrants of a desirable kind tliuu ull
the conventions for the encouragemen t
of immigration that has ben held in
recent years. Gifts of ptovisions by
\bose who have abundauce are more
potent argument than all the“ speeches
ttiat can be made. Already we have
advices that a good many of the culti
vatois of the oft blighted regions of
Kansas, Nebraska and lowa are move
ing Southward; and there need not bo
any doubt that this movement will be
greatly enlarged when it becomes
known that the South has food to spare,
besides millions of acres of arable land
that can be procured on easy terms.”
Outdone by a Boy.
A lad in Boston, rather small for his
years, works iu an office as an errand
boy for four gontlemen who do business
there. Ouo day the gentlemen were
chaffing him a little about being so
small, and said to him: “You never
will amount to much, you never can do
much business you are too small ”
“Well," said lie, “small as I am, I can
do something which n ine of you four
men can do.” “Ah, what is that?”
they asked. “I don’t know as I ought
to tell you,” he replied. But they
were anxious to know, and urged him
to tell them what he could do that none
of tie m were able to do “1 can keep
fmm swearing,” said the little fellow.
There were some blushes on four manly
faces, and there seemed to be very lit
tle anxiety for further information on
the point.—Rim's Horn.
How a Groat Story Was Written.
Tlie history of any great ami success
ful undertaking is always interesting,
therefore at the risk of bring accused of
violating personal confidence, we tell
our readers of the origin of a famous
story of the late war The publishers
of the Chicago Ledger wanted a story
which, besides being a love story of
great merit, should vividly describe the
thrilling events of the battle of Gettys
burg and the siege of Richmond. One
author after another failed in the work,
and at last the famous St. George Katli
burne was approached on the subject,
lie demanded a fabulous price for the
woik, but it naH paid, and the story
was actually written to order. It i«,
however, printed under the pen name
of “Hugh Alleu.” It is declared by
critics, who have been shown the ad
vance sheets, to he the best story of the
war ever written. The first instalment
of it appeared in No. 3, Vol. xxiii of
the Ledger, and at ouce attracted the
greatest attention. A private letter
from the editor informs us that in order
to reach all classes of people, the pub
lishers of the Ledger will mail the
opening chapters of the story free of
charge to all who send in their names
at ouce. The Ledger is a great paper,
and each week gives story matter
enough to make a dollar book. Ad

Absolutely pure
The Cotllu Contract.
Tlie'Columbus Ledger thus lectures
the city council of its city for awarding
the contract of burying the white poor
of its city to a negro undertaker.
The little child, whose father is a
pauper from disease, or through the
mysterious allotments of life, is laid to
res’, in a pine coffin, daubed with red
with nothing more than the decencies
of burial, is just as precious to him, as
to the rich man, his child, whoso last
robe is of velvet, and its narrow house
made of rosewo.od, and ornumented with
silver.
The tears that a mother sheds, when
the little hands of her baby, pauper
and penniless, though it may be, are
folded for the last time across its little
breast, come from a heart as deeply
bruised as that of her rich neighbor
across the way could ever be.
The humiliation of the poor at the
fact that a negro undertaker must have
charge of the funerals of their loved
ones will be deep and distressing.
It is bad enough for the poor to re
ceive a pauper’s burial, oven at the
hands of a white undertaker.
Gentlemen of tho city council, if that
award is the best you can do, abolish
the appropriation for pauper burials,
and lot the poor of our city bury their
dead as best they can.
If tho city of Columbus, City
of tbe Chattahoochee, the boasted Low
ell of tbe South, a city which points
with pride to a population of thirty
thousand, a city that ranks among the
five great cities of the State, a city that
is proud of her people, and of her tra
ditions—if such a city can not afford to
employ a white undertaker to inter her
white paupers, then she should hide her
face in shame, and boast no mo?e of
her refinement.

lam not an alarmist. If every bank

We’ve got to go back to headquar

Home ought to be the brightest hap

Every man shows what ho thinks of
wife and children by the kind of home
he puts them in. A man whose home
is always out of whack, the blinds down
and the door off tbe binges, the steps
rotten—that shows character. Tbe
husband shows bis character by tbe
exterior. I don’t see why some men
can’t keep pious on what they can get

all human miseries under “dirt, devil
and debt.” I have been in houses

A (Joorl Time to Study Politics.
Now is tbe time to study politics. If
you are a party man, or, if you care
anything about your political franchise,
get you a work of political ecotiomy,
and collect up a few volumes of politi
cal history, aud some of tho congres
sional records, and such other books as
you can get, and sit down to yourself
at your leisure for the noxt two years
while the political ebb tide is in and
see if you can't learn something that
will do you good iu the next campaign.
I oo many men will wait for some pol
itician >o come aloug and get on tho
stump, cry out, “force bill, gold bug,
free coinage, John Sliermaii ( Wall
street, Sbylock, Patronage heeler,
Parity, 1G to 1, Jeffersonian Democrat,”
etc., and finally tell them how to vote
and it makes very little difference
whether lie is a demagogue or a pratri
ot, if he is a democrat or a populist, as
the case may be. There are two things
the people must learn : First that they
must study eoberly and think for them
selves, unbiased by the beat ol a cam
paign, aud second, that parties and
principles are useless unless backed up
and supported by sound and patriotic
men in office. In other words, princi
ples in a party platform are not worthy
as much ns principles in officeis, “Is
he capable ? Is be honest ?” is tbe
Jeffersonian doctrine.—Baxley Ban
