—.Air. W. Daniels, who lives near
Long Bluff, on the Savannah river
paid us a pleasant visit to-day. Mr.
D. is one of the most successful
farmers in South East Georgia,
and is a living evidence that
money can be made on the farm,
when an intelligent policy is followed.
Mr. Daniels came home from the war
a cripple, and not a dollar to com
mence unon—he counts his acres by
the thousands. His cribs are full of
corn, and his barnes full of hay, oats
^ndatiuJfferjHnd his stock is as fat and
sleek as nW|»Mr. Daniels has 100
acres of oats as high as ar. ordinary
man’s shoulders, 200 acres of corn
averaging waist high, and 150 acres
of cotton, all chopped out. With such
examples ns this before them it is a
mystery which “pagselh all under-
nery breaks bring it to Byrns, and we
guarantee that it will go off nicely fixed
up.
— One day the present week, a lit
tle negro girl was sent to Dr. Polhill’s
drug store to buy a quantity of amo-
niii. When about to leave the store,
liitie E b Polhill asked her if she had
ever smelt any h‘ rtshorn. The Dint
whs enough ; she opened the vial and
took a good wliif. One smell was
enough, she threw away her bonnet,
and left squealing like a steam engine,
ropo.rtirg as she ran down the street
that she had neen badly struck,
amusing the bystanders no little.
— A storm visited our town on
Wednesday evening about 8 o’clock,
doing considerable damage. A house,
the property of Judge Jethro Thom
as, and lately ocenpied by Mr. Har
graves as tin shop, had its front blown
to pieces, and the debris scattered
around promiscuously. Many of
the shade trees had their limbs bad
ly torn, and ome were entirely' up
rooted, a fine shade tree in front of the
parsonage. Rev. F A. Branch’s
residence, fell a victim to tin furv of
the winds, being entirely blown up.
Many fences were blown down, and
the fine lots of oaG in town laid fiat.
Afte r diligent inqury, we can hear of
no storm in the conntrv, the blow
being seemingly confined to town.
—Not long since a traveler on our
railroad, fully ha'f flooded, stepped
ofithe train at the depot, and ap
proached our venerable Marshal, who
was standing near, and declared him
self to be the best man in Burke coun
ty. The Marshal aa-n rted that he
might be.—“But,” said the traveler,
“I am the best man in Waynesboro.”
Again the Marshal asserted, and thus
failing to get up a row, the irate
traveler came down to personalities
by saying “I am a better m n than
you arc, fir. The Marshal gave him
a cool look,” and replied, “you may

“How so?” said the man ‘ whv, sir,
