A home of comfort and delight Of calm content and happy days, Of joys, Of simple pleasures, simple wavs. The husband and the wife are one, United by the sweetest ties, He, ever ready to sustain, She, ever quick to sympathize. And as home intimacy grows, Showing their taults unseen before, They do not love each oilier legs Because they know each other more. Without, a sheltered garden lies, All dear, old-fashioned How'rs grow there; Ca nations, johnquils, stocks, sweet peas And roses clustering everything. And when the hard day’s business done, The happy husband homeward hies. A perfect picture waits him there, For loving heart and tired eyes. A woman standing by the gate With smiling lip and eager air, Love’s sunshine lighting up her face, Lsberimtns dropping on her hair, The child asleep upon her breast, Docs but enhance the mother’s charms, Ami with a heart brimful of love, He takes them both into his arms. O, you who hasten to be rich, And stake your very souls for this, Bethink you, lest, made blind by greed, You snatch by gold to lose the bliss! Bad Ems, Prussia. Fai vettk. OLD TICK ANDERSON Will Lead His Hrlgaite Once Mora— Thi*Time to Dinner. Tige A nderaon’? old brigade is to have a grand reunion. And the old man will he there. There was a meeting of the mem hers of the old brigade at the court house on yesterday. Representatives of the Seventh Georgia, First Georgia regulars, Eigth Georgia. Ninth Georgia, Elev enth Georgia, Fifty-ninth Georgia, and First Kentucky were present and arrangements were consumed for a grand reunion of the entire brigade at Marietta July 21, 1891. This will eclipse any reunion this year, as no pains will lie spared to make it a success. Dr. Henry L. Wilson, of the Sev entli, will preside over the brigade re union, and short speeches,will be made by Judge George 11 illyer, of the Ninth and ex Governor McDaniel, of the Eleventh, Colonel Peter F.

All necessary committees were appointed. It will he a basket dinner, and all old veterans are invited. This will he an ovation to Tige An i derson, who will be present. Resold \ lions were adopted requesting Geor gia papers to notice tins affair, etc. For Over Fifty Years. It lias been said that skilful adver tising will accomplish wonders, and ibis is partly true, for it is no uncom mon thing to see various nostrums achieve a brief notoriety in in this way. But they do not outlast the notices that herald them- Thus it is that the mercurial and potash reme dies are constantly appearing liefore the public in new disguises; Adver tising, however, will not account for the popularity that S. S. S has enjoy ed for fifty years, nor for the fact that it has become a household remedy ; nor will advertising account for the thousands of testimonials that the people have given in its behalf Only the most sub.-tantial merit can account for the estimation in which this won derful medicine is held.

When the lawyers meet ou the cir cuit and gather about the hotels at night usually you can hear some of the liest stories going, and often they are told at the expense of their own frater nity. This one was told in Valdosta this week. On one occasion two old farmers, near neighbors and friends, fell out about a pair pf andirons, aqd no amount of talk could bring them to an agreement. Neighbors interfered and tried to settle the matter iu vain. At last one of the men went to the country town to employ a lawyer. When he called at the office he • was very much disappointed when lie learn ed that the lawyer had been retained by the other farmer, “but,” said the lawyer, “I have a friend over iu—, who is as good a lawyer as I am, and he will take your case and represent you faithfully and well. I will give you a note to him.” The farmer put the lute in his pock et, went home, rose early the next morning and started over’ to the neigh boring ton 11 to see the other lawyer. On the road he began to wonder why the first lawyer had taken so mcuh in terest in his case, when he was em ployed by his enemy, so he decided lie would open the note and read what he had to say to his brother lawyer. It read as follows : I tear Tom : I have a fat goose And I send you another You pick the one And I’ll pick the other. The farmer turned his horse around and headed for home. When he ar rived at the cross road which led to liis neighbor’s house, he took it, and lost no time in finding his man, and when found they settled their case in ten minutes —Valdosta Times. fit Miser’s Murder. Tbe Atlanta Constitution relates the following sad and pathetic story. Years ago, in a Southwest Georgia county, an old couple, with an only son, lived in a rude cabin in the woods. It is related that tbe old man was a miser, and drove bis son from home to make bis living in the world at a very tender age. Years passed and the boy was given up by bis parents, they thinking that be was dead. One stormy night a tall, bearded stranger knocked at the door of tbe little cabin, and asked for shelter. It was gru Igiugly given him by tbe obi couple, but when the stranger showed them a bag of gold which he carried in his valise, they were over joyed. That night, as the guest lay sleep ing the old man crept to his side. There was the glitter of a keen blade in jthe darkness, then- When morning came the old wo man looked on the dead man’s face and screamed wiih terror. “God have mercy on us !” she cried “We have killed our Imy—our son that was lost!” It was so. They luid not recog nized him when iie entered, and prob ably thought to deceive them until morning, and then have a happy fam ily reunion. Growth of the Hair After Death. Tbe body of E. M Haskell, who lias been dead for over twenty years, was recently removed from bis grave, at Northfield, Mir.n., it being purptosed to put tbe body in another lot. When bis body was exposed it was found that he bad a beard over twenty-three inches long. llis wife said that before he died he bad been shaven, and all his hair must have grown after bur rial.

From Ihe Morning Call. 'l'lie people in the neighborhood of Liberty Hill will spend the 4th of July by having an all-day singing at that place. Prof. W. J. Mullins will lead, and all lovers of sweet music are cor dially invited to attend. Jim Moore, the escaped criminal from the county jail, which was noticed iu these columns yesterday, has returned and is again behind tho bars, lie said he preferred standing his trial than re maining a fugitive, and lie returned bright and early yesterday morning and surrendered to Sheriff Patrick. Jack Manley, au old negro living on Mr. B. S. Strickland’s place, in North Griffin, was killed by lightning yester day about 1 o’clock. The old man was sitting iu his cabin door when an elec tric holt struck his cabin, killing him instautly. Ills wife was in the house at the time but sustained no injury. ' A call is published elsewhere for a re Union of the survivors of the 44th regiment, Confederate veterans, to be held in Griffin on the 4th day of August next. There are a number of members of thisgallaut regiment Hying in Spald ing county, and they hope to nit et a large number of their surviving com rades on the day designated.' Yesterday about 1 o’clock while the old negro janitor was feeding the pris oners in the jail, who also has the courthatse under charge, left* he jail to close sonic windows at the court house, hut failed to propeily close the prison doors. As soon as the janitor was he- | yond hearing the prisoners injthe room alluded to began the work of escape, which was an easy matter. Three ne groes were confined in this cell, one muider and two with lar ceny. 'l’lte cell door being opened a breach was easily made in a partition wall, when Jack Moore and Andrew King made their escape There never was a county more in need of a new jail than Spalding. The present build ing is a farce and a reproach upon jus tice, and it is hoped the County Com missioners will soon remedy the mat ter by the erection of a new and secure prison, win re evil doers can he retain ed until justice is meted out. ROCKDAI.K. From the Banner Last Monday about 12 o’clock Mrs. Jas. P. Nicholson of Sheffield district died of catarrhal fever. I)r.

Mr. Wingate Maddox died last Fri day evening and was interred at Liber ty Chapel burins ground last Saturday evening. His funeral was preached by Rev. W. S. Hubbard. On Friday before the first Sunday in July a Baptist church will he con stituted and organized at Almon. It will likely be constituted by I!evs. A. J. Goss, If. F. Buchanan and J. F. Wallis. Mr. T. S. Almand, who lias been suffering for some time with a badly cut foot, is now in bed on account of other sickness. Verily be is having a bard time. Mr. Fletcher Statisell, a very prom ising deaf mute who has been attending school at Cave Springs, Ga., for a number of years, is now at home at j this place He has finished his course i at Cave Springs. We understand , that his father, Mr. .1. J. Statisell, will 1 make an effort to send him to Washing ton, I). C., where lie may be fitted up to be a teacher of those of like afflic tion with himself. Mrs. Nannie Branan and Mr. Chailes Wallis w<‘re united inmatriaee by Rev. W. R. Branham of Oxford Sunday afternoon at tbe residence of tbe bride. The happy pair left imme diately for an extended bridal tour.

I From the Argus There will be an all-day singing at Macedonia on first Sunday in July. Everybody iuvited to come and bring well filled baskets. The crops of Butts county have worse “ryn away” with grass duting I the month of June than for many years before. The ocutiuued rains was the cause and not for want of industry on the part of the farmers. Pleasant View church, a new and handsome little church building at Fiucherville iu Butts county, will he dedicated on the 4th Sunday iu this month, and an ordination sermon will he preaciied ou Saturday before the 4th Sunday,' by Rev. Mr. Kimball, Let it not he forgotten that the Butts County Sunday School convention will he held at Falkland's Chapel on Fri day before the first Sunday in Au gust. It will require 400,000 brick. 400 barrels of lime and 140,000 feet of lumber to build the Jackson oil mill. Tho building will be large and all the appointments will be the finest in Mid dle Georgia. Mr. Joe Caston, a young farmer liv ing near Towaliga, has been sick about four weeks. During la*t week Ins neighbors, following up those noble traits that has ever characterized the people of Butts county, gathered them selves together with plows and hoes ami worked out his entire crops. The good people of that neighborhood nev er tire in good doings and at last will reap their reward. They did right, A friend in need is a friend indeed. (’harlie Glass, the accused murder er of the negro that was found in the creek near Indian Springs two weeks ago, is now sleeping in a cell in the county jail. lie was arrested at Ro chelle, Wilcox county, by the marshal of that place and sheriff Beauchamp was telegraphed for.

J. There is a bed of I magnetic iron ore about a mile long i and 420 feet wide, which he says runs down into the earth for five or six miles. He estt mates the amount of J iron in the mine at 2,000,000,000,000 : tons. Around Ofiden there is an enor mous intensification of the magnetic , forces of the earth. It is a well-known fact that the daily variations in these mi gnetic forces, us shown by the nee dle, are directly influenced by the disturbances in the sun’s spots. These variations are tegularly recorded j every day at Kew, near London. Mr. Edison says that iu his iron mine near ! Ogden he has more than a million times the concentration of magnetic j # 0 lines than there is at Kew. To record the daily variations iu his own mag netic lines at Ogden, Mr. Edison lias constructed his cosmical telephone. “There are the most wonderful things going on in tho sun's spots all the time,” lie says. “Didn’t you ever see them ? Why, tlioy are beautful. The disturbances aro tremendous. Bursts ef hydrogen fly out of these spots 000,000 miles long. Awful things happen up there. You can see them every day willi my telescope.” To construct his telephone he lias sur rounded the whole bed of magnetic iron with poles. On these poles he lias strung a cable of Fifteen copper wires. The ends of this cable runs | down into a little house, and are eon luected with the ordiaury receive rof a common Bell telephone. The idea is that the surrounding of this enormous bed of magnetic iron with the copper wires will operate for the formation of a gigantic magnet such as is used iu the receiver of the every day telephone. Through this tremendous receiver Edison says lie will put in direct tele phonic communication with tho sun, only the communica'ion will he one sided. He can hear everything that goes on up there, hut he can’t do any transmitting. He believes that every disturbance in the sun's spots will cause a corresponding variation of the concentrated magnetic lines at Ogden, and that this variation will be at once detected in some way by the receiver of his cosmical telephone. “Yes, sir,” lie says, “I can hear them with this telephone. The next time there is any violeut change in the sun’s Spots which d'sturh the magnetic lines on earth I shall know it, and if 000,000 miles of hydrogen go chas ing away from the sun I shall hear it.” The cosmical telephone is rot yet completed, as tho wire stringing is not yet finished; hut scientific people other than MapEdisou will watch with curi ous wonder to see what success he will achieve. New York Recorder. A Georgia Yarn In London. Not long ago an Atlanta paper pub lished a horrible story to the effect that in Wilke* county, Georgia, a negto wo man had killed her child, cooked it, and served it to her guests. The story was I sent out from Washington, the county scat of Wi’.kcs, and was discredited by most newspapers, and looked upon as a sensational yarn. Subsequently the Wilkes county paper published ati ac cout of the origin of the story. It 'seems that it was started as an April -1 fool joke, and correspondents who was on the lookout for something sensation- al, telegraphed it as actually happening. This was decidedly a fool proceeding, and its consequences have been very curious. It seems that this April fool yarn has been reproduced in London, where it has created a profound sensation and lias been made the subject of heavy leaders in the solemn journals of the English capital. In a cable letter from London published in the New York Times' last Sunday the following is printed : “Ever since Dalziel’s Agon -lej obtained a foothold here, largely by i its success in serving the London Times ’ with reports of the liurbball trial iu Canada, the Loudon pajiers have been printiug daily long dispatchers from America giving details of some widely sensational crime or freak frotr. the west or south. This reached the climax of alrsurdity the other day iu a third of a column dispatch alsmt a negro woman I Henry County Weekly, Established 187 ti, ( Henry County limes, Established 1884. cooking her child as veal for a party and then leading a contiilion afterward, a story which the Times printed, and the other papers, which were not able to alford the service,.indignantly com mented upon.” A\ hy the London papers published these sensa,ional stories it is difficult to understand. Their editors cannot cer tainly lie so ignorant as to believe this stuff. Why then should they palm it olf on their readers ? But, perhaps we ought not to be surprised, for Loudon papers during the last few years have allowed matter logo into their columns that no self-respecting American editor would publish. 1 he pnuting of this sensational yarn in Lon'dou, however, should warn American papers to be cautious in re gard to printing sensational stories. The temptation to print them without due investigation, we know is great, for great is the joy in the heart of a news- paper man when he scoops a rivnl con temporary, but the reputation of the paper publishing yarns that are proved to be untrue must in time suffer. The public love sensational stories, but they do not like to be taken in.—Mobile Register. A WKSTKItN I>UKL. Both Men Were Killed and Then the (Same Proceeded. 0 A tight, a light!” The interior of a gambling hell in a small mining town in Montana, live years ago. In the foreground of the picture stand two men who have just risen from their chairs and are facing each other, their pistols half drawn and an insane glare darting from their eyes. A pack of cards is scattered over the floor where an angry blow lias thrown them. At the cry of “Eight,” all the occupants of the place gather around the combatants—all but the faro-dealer, who sits like a stone and never moves, save to toy aimlessly with the silver box before him. “Fair play,” cries a hoarse voice: “if you’re goin’ to fight, fellers, do it on the square.” “He says 1 discarded the ace o'di muns an, showed’er up arter the draw.” “You did.” “It’s a lie?” The strong arms twitch nervously and a silence falls upon the crowd. “Here, Jerry, if you fellers mean business, go at this thing in a business like way,” speaks the hoarse voice again. “Git over in that end of the room, Ike. Jerry, you stand there. That’s right. Now, (ire w’en f give the word. I’ll shoot the feller that tires ’fore I say to—understand?” The two men face each other with pistols aimed and murder iij their eyes. Such a scene is no novelty in that town, but every time a duel like that occurs an awesome stillness comes over all lie holders. Every face is drawn with anxiety—every face except the faro dealer’s, whose lips wear their habitual snake like smile. “One!” A perceptible movement of ihe mus cles as the combatants nerve themselves for the ordeal. “Two Eingers creep along the trigger guards and rest firmly on the triggers. “Three!” A simultaneous movement of the in dex fingers—a short, sharp report — two lnrsh groans that rise as one, and the duelists fall upon the rickety floor with a united weight that shakes the flimsy building from foundation to roof. Both are dead, and everyone, for a moment, is awed with the tragedy, save the faro-dealer. lie smiles as before, and raps bis silver box : “Game, geutlemcn !” “Say pa, give me a quarter?” “No sir! What do you want with a quarter?” “Ob, nothing, only Jimmie Jones wants t> bet me 2~> cents that you are the stingiest man in town." N. 15.—He got the cash. Cured.
