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.

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 Offers his fine stock of ready-made Clothing* Dry Goods, Boots and Shoes, Straw Hats and Trunks at cost price. 6.
