‘■When you leave Vinoville, follow the
big road till you pass Summerfield and get
to the forks of the road. Take the right
hand road till you come to a house that
sets back in the yard, then turn to your
Tight, and keep on and you can’t .miss it.”
Such were the directions given a day or
so ago to a party composed of Messrs. W.
T. Shiuholser, Walter Nelson, Master Wal
ter Shinholser and the writer, who had uc
cepted an invitation to take 5t look over
the poultry tarm of Crown & Bass. The
invitation was eagerly accepted because all
of us wanted to get out of the dust-bedrag
gled city and breathe forth pure air once
more.
The directions were followed closely.
The forks of tiie road weie there, and they
looked for all the world as if somebody
had made a cross mark with a red pencil;
but we didnlt miml a red road when it was
bordered so closely on either side with
trees and undergrowth full of the greenest
of foliage and throwing a shade
that was cool and delightful. We bowled
tfver the road that stretched out to the
right, and enjoyed theglimps-s of com and
cotton patches on either side until we drew
up in front of a pretty white cottage. One
glance at the neafly swept jard anil the
spacious porch, showed that a woman of
taste presided there. There was a bank of
violets and some rose-bushes in the yard,
and on the porch were a couple of pyra
mids of potted plants, topped off with lux
uriant calla lilies. This is the home of
Mr. W. 0. Bass, of the firm of Brown A
Bass.
Two young men came out to meet us,
and there was no uncertain tones in their
voices as they bid us welcome. Maj. A. C.
Knapp, whose love of poultry is well
known, and Mrs. Knapp, had preceded us
by a few minutes, and inter the party was
t ined by I)r. Jno.W. Goodwyn, Mr. Rol.t.
Bowman, Mr. J. W. Scott and Mr. J. II.
Timberlake.
The object of the party was to look at
the chickens, and leaving the ladies at the
cottage, a three minutes walk halted us at
the gate of a wire fence.
The location of the yards showed good
judgment. They are on top of a ridge
well covered by trees, thus giving them a
natural drainage and plenty of shade. '1 he
ground was staked off and surrounded by a
njgh fence made of wire, and then subdi-
vided into yards, and in tiie centre of each
is a long narrow house.
_ The first chickens to greet us was the
little Pekin bantams, plump, dumpy things,
just as cute as can be. Mr. Loring Brown
is the chicken man of the firm, and these
bantams arc his pets. He sleeps in a little
house in the yards, and one of the pretty
bantams is now sitting on a nest of eggs
almost under his nose. lie is on the friend
liest terras with all his chickens, but the
bantams are his special friends.
Then came the light Brahmas, tall and
plump but sa graceful that they command
admiration. They stalk about their yard
»r run as though they owned it. These
have won premiums wherever exhibited.
Then comes the Langshans, coal black ft-1-
_lows who are just as proud as tiieir neigh
bors and seem to know it. Then we
reached the laced Wyai>^ ot tes, and Major
■Knhjjp IjegluS to grow more interested be
cause he is a great believer in this strain
of chickens. Some of the pullets we see
eating the oats from Loring’s hands score
high and have shown themselves on more
than one occasion worthy the first pre
miums. At the mention of games Mr.
Shinholser brightens up for he loves them,
He is the owner of the famous Barclay
stock, and he delights to look
upon the Shawlnecks ns Lor-
ing points them out to the
party. Now we come to the brown Leg
horns, the trim, eiean cut, brown-feathered
birds that arc several degrees more intel
ligent than most of the others. Lenving
the Leghorns we enter a yard where the
scrubs arc kept, and here we see a tiappy
family of ducks and chickens of high nnd
low degree.
Mr. llass cwns 350 acres of the lieauti-
ful cleared and timber land, and all over
it the chickens, geese and turkeys range
after the juicy hug and worm. At night
they come up to the yards and roost. ‘The
woods are full of them,” said Loring.
“How shout hawks?” was asked.
“We have never lost a chicken by them,”
replied Mr. Bass. “One follow swooped
down, but struck the wire fence and was
knocked backward. He went off witli a
limp in his caw and has never returned.”
“The crow,” said Mr. Bob Bowman,
“sits off some where, nnd it may be .at a
great distance. He singles out the partic
ular chicken in n flock that he wants, and
then flies in a direct line to it. If met by
an obstruction he turns back, sn-lj hese tall
treesjhere probably prevent their troubling
Loring’s chickens!”
, As the party wandered over tiie yards,
looking at their favorites, the drift of the
conversation was naturally confined to
chickens.
“The trouble about game chickens,” said
Mr. Bowman, “is that they lly so well and
roam about so. I had a fine* rooster, and
half a mile away a neighbor had one.
One tlay the neighbor’s rooster
flew on the fence, Hopped his
wings and crowed. My rooster
flew on his fence and heard the challenge
cf tiie other fellow. Then they jumped
down from their fences and started toward
cacli other. In a few minutes I went out
and found them about half way, nearly
knocked to pieces.”
“Turkeys are hard things to raise,” said
some one. “The young turkey- will hold
their heads up in a shower of rain and
actually drown themselves.”
On the outside of the yards in tiie skirt
of the woods we found trie big forty-five-
S rand gobbler that has won so many prizes.
e was strutting around proud as Juno,
and seemed to know that we were there to
see him nut on airs. The oilier day Luting
found a hen and a dozen little turkeys in
the woods that he knew nothing auout.
They were about tiie size of little chicks,
but they are easily distinguished by their
chirp.
“Do you give the little chickens water
when first hatched?" was naked of Loring.
“Yea; I begin giving them water at first.
I give them plenty of sand, water and
aometl-.ing to eat, and I feed them aix or
•even time* a day.”
“Do you raise chickens for market?”
was also asked of him.
“Not yet. We have had our hands full
to get the yards Imilt anil everything in j ^
readiness this spring, but by this time next j
season we will have marketed four tliou-
tfiousaml broilers. We are ji st in our in
fancy now, anil yet ue cannot^ till the or
ders that cotuc in. We shall increase the
number of yards, construct ten more brood
ers, and give special attention to raising
common chickens for the market. We have
lots to do vet: so much that we can’t
tell you all; but one thing is to dam
up that never-failing branch down there

they don’t require much water they like

young men.
After the inspection of tiie chickens, to
which Loring is devoted, ami is never hap
pier than when he is feeding them, the
party returned to the house, and, at the in
vitation of Mr. Bass, went into thedining-
room. There is no dinner like a dinner in
tiie country. Vanderbilt may pay bis cook
ten thousand dollars a year, but you can
take a country negro woman and she can
cook a dinner that will do a man
more good and make him more .at
peace with the world. There was fried
chicken, fried as it can only be fried in the
country and no where else; and this was
only one feature of a dinner that was ele
gant enough for a College street residence
on an extra occasion. Every thing showed
the dainty, yet masterly touch and skill
of the gentle hostess, and when the chairs
were pushed bank ‘everyone wondered how
it was that the appetites that had been so
long lost in the city had so suddenly re

finally the good-byes were said, and
again our horses jogged along the Jong

Worth Taking, At Any Bate.
From the Cirifltn News.
We are called upon this morning to re
cord the sad news of the death of Joshua
Jones, who died at a ripe old age, in New
York City, a few days ago, having first by
economy aiul frugality accumulated the
modest competency of $7,000,000, most of
which be considerately left behind for his
natural heirs, the exception being a few 1
bequests to the amount of $100,000.
These heirs are too numerous to men
tion except in the will, but one of them is,
Col. William J. Kruger, who for eighteen
months past has"resided on the old Gresh
am place, seven miles out on the road from
here to Zebulon. Mr. Kruger’s share, we
regret to say, is only one-fourth of nine
equal parts, making a thirty-sixth. Now,
the thirty-sixth of the estate of most peo
ple around Griffin would perhaps not be
considered as amounting to so much, but
in this case it is over SHOO,000, and $200,-
000 is not to he sniffed at in these dull
tunes, with the summer coming on and
the fruit crop slightly damaged if still in
the ring. Mr. Kruger is an Englishman,
but iiis wife is a Middle Georgian, they
having met and married in Europe, and
while condoling with them in the death of
their estimable relative, Mr. Joshua Jones,
we cannot refruin from a slight note of
congratulation that he was really such an
estimable and considerate gentleman.
Tile Judge's Trinket.
From the Thomaston Times.
Judge Williams, who is most likely the
greatest lover of antique curiosities in this
county, has a singular trinket attached to
his watch chain. It is a miniature brass
? |uivcr, full of arrows. It was recently
ound in the old camp of the Indians, Jim
and Tom, near the river. When the In
dians were moved from tliir. country, long
years ago, Jim and Tom refused to go with
the others. It was never known why, but
it was supposed to be because they had
committed some offense against Indian
law, and were afraid to risk themselves
with their copper-colored companions away
from the protection which the laws ot civ
ilization offered. But whatever was the
cause they remained, and made them a
camtilng-placo under an overhanging rock
tno banks of Flint river. They would
not live in a'honsc, hut abode in their sav
age dwelling-place until death removed
them to the happy hunting-grounds. One
dicvl during the war and the other soon
after. Recently the brass trinket before
mentioned was found and brought to Judge
Williams.
Mow the Cow Mortgage Worked
From the LaGrange Graphic.
Last week a most interesting case was
tried before Judge L. Fitts. In it was de
veloped a point in law not generally
known.
J. G. Truitt & Co. foreclosed a mortgage
on Richard Morgan, an old colored man.
and levied on the cows described therein
Morgan’s wife claimed the cows. Under
the law the court was compelled to award
them to her, notwithstanding the mortgage
was given witli her consent. Thus in
Georgia, a wife cannot, by standing her
husband’s security, subject nor separate ex
late to the payment of his debts. The re
sult in this case was the immediate arrest
of Morgan for giving a mortgage on prop
erty not his own, which under our laws is
a misdemeanor and subjects the offender to
the chain gang.
Two Daisies of Dooly.
From the Vienna Vindicator.
A corresdondcnt stated last week, that
there was an old lady living in this county
whv is 76 years old and can dance a jig
with a tumbler of water on her head with
out spilling a drop. We learn there is liv
ing in the same neighborhood aiady of the
same age, and the two living only five
miles from eacli other, have raised fami
lies there and have not seen eacli other
until last week in twenty-three years, and
they have been good friends all the time,
Ilext She Could Do.
From the laiGrange Graphic.
Last week Mr. George W.Truittjfarougiu
to our office an egg which his fifteen-year-
old hen laid. It has the shape anil shell
of an ordinary egg, hut it is not larger than
a jay bird’s egg, It was the best the old
hen could do, anil is probably the lost one
she will ever lav.
the surface, something like a bar of metal
drew his attention, anil on picking it up,
it was :oiind to be pure lead. Others came
in sight as this w«* taken away, and right
there from that lift’e cavity Captain Beall
took ont 167 bars of genuine lead, moulded
in bars circular on one side and fiat on the
other, about twclveinclies long and weigh
ing fifteen and one-half ounces to the bar.
They evidently werecast iuone pound bars,
and oxidntion’from king years of exposure
had diminished them about half an ounce
No name was stamped on them to indicate
when, where or who made them. They are
altogether unlike any bars of lead we have
ever seen. Th-v were packed iu the hole
very neatly and straight.
Query: \Vh i put them there, and when?
Tile only reasonable supposition or cine to
tiie case is that they were huriod there dur
ing the Indian war of 1836, as right on
that identical spot, which was then in the
woods, stood a rude log fort, built by the
earliest settlers for protection against the
raids of the Indian
unmolested
community were in attendance. They
evidently do not know how repulsive some
of the principles of Mormonism are to the
better element of humanity, and the prin
ciples of government at large TIip peo
ple of Terrel! arc beginning to fed that
tliev have shirked their-duly long enough
in dealing out justice to these Mormon
elders, and trust they will abscond before
tliev get into that ridiculous plight of tar
ami feathers. .
A Female Beat.
From the JouesLoro News.
A woman leading four small children
put up at a hotel in this place about a
month ago, nnd at once made many ac
quaintances, and entertained everyone
around, telling of how much of this earth’s
possessions she was favored with. So sweet
was her tongue that she managed to stay a
month at this hotel without being asked
for money, but wlien the montli had passed
she was asked for some money and her
quick reply was, “Well, I’ll give you a

A Number of Gentlemen N'ltmeil Who May
Contest for the Nomination.
From the Conyers Weekly.
It is thought by some wide-awake politi
cians that Judge Stewart will not have an
easy walk-over this year. Tiie ontlook is
that lie will have strong and determined
opposition on every hand. Some of Col.
I’eek’s friends are anxious for him to make
the race, as he can most certainly carry
Rockdale, DeKalb, Newton, Walton, and
stands a fair chance for Fulton or Douglas,
giving him, could lie secure the counties
named, twenty delegates, two thirds of the
convention. ,
In ease he refuses to enter the race, ex-
Governor McDaniel, Jtlie great statesman
of chance, will doubtless step in for a slice
of the cream. If McDaniel does not rus
tle around, how is Col. Livingston, the
people’s man, to be disposed of? If noth
ing :f this takes place,' CbL Dorsey, of
Atlanta, a very able lawyer and fine stump
speaker may leap cut and trouble the
waters from bank to bank.
So it appears after all that Judge Stew
art will have to look closely after his in
terests. Strange things sometimes turn np
in politics. It is to he hoped, however,
that Judge S.cwart will bejpermitted to re
turn without opposition, as a compliment
and an indorsement. But the district is
filled up of patriotic men who are willing
to serve for only one Congressional term.
However, we will still keep one ear and
eye open on the situation.

A Divorce Huomermig.
From the Albany News.
Handy Holloway, a well-known dray
man of this city, became dissatisfied with
his wife and sued for a divorce, alleging
grounds which were sufficient, if proven,
to obtain one. The wife, through legal
representatives, filed a countcrmiit and
pressed it to a successful termination.
Upon the trial of tiie cause the wife was
not only granted a total divorce, but the
judge granted her alimony to the amount
of $10 a month.
Handy owned a dray and was driving a
good business, but seeing the prospect ahead
to meet the decree of the court, lie folded
his tent and silently stole away, thus
hoping to escape the hardships which he
thought it imposed.
Kite Flying at Bartow.
From the Swatnxboro Forest.
It seems as if the people of Bartow are
not to lie out done in the way of fun and
amusement. The novel feature of the
day with them is kite flying, and other
out door amusements are indulged in
every afternoon. In these sports the
young and the old, male and female in

Nicw York, April 0.—The central com
mittee of the United German Democracy
held a meeting this evening in Arlington
Hall. There was a full attendance of del
egatee, and a set of resolutions paying a
high tribute to President Cleveland and
asking for his renomiuation were adopted
amid great applause. The resolutions
stated tliat President Cleveland lira in ali
his messages and acts displayed so high a
degree of sense of duty, statemam-hip and
i-oiirage of conviction that history will
Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln. He has
fulfilled all the reasonable expectations
based upon his election in 1884, in
spite ot all opposition frjm the
Republican Senate. Under ills leadership
the change of party in- tiio federal admin
istration has not only caused no disturb
ance in public affairs, but lias brought
about an undoubted improvement and
purification of the administrative ma
chinery. During his term of office all the
national debt that became due was paid,
the national wealth lias increased in an
extraordinary degree, the railroad monop
olists have had to disgorge hundreds of
millions of acres of land which the corrup
tion and criminal negligence of • the Re
publican party had granted to them; arbi
trary discrimination on freight and pas
senger rates has been put a stop to by the
creation of the inter-State railroad com
mission; Chinese immigration, which for
a large portion of our country has become
a curse, will be prevented for thfe next
twenty years, and the civil service, as far
as the people permitted it, has become in
dependent of parties.
Tiie resolutions further say, that, by Mr
Cleveland’s masterly message on the re
vision of tiie tariff', he has compelled tiie
parties to take sides on this important and
vital question, so that there is now hope
that the national industries will be freed
from some of the fetters that were im
posed upon them by • the tariff and pre
vented them from entering into competi
tion in the markets of the world and that
the standard of the life of the workingman
will be improved by increased opportuni
ties of employment. The creation of mo
nopolies and the trusts wil! be made more
difl iicilt, if not impossible, and tiie surplus
in the treasury—this great danger to re
publican institutions and on all business—
will be put an end to. The resolutions
Tiie Filibuster* Wero Bight.
From the Boston Herald.
Ilf this way the scheme was staited It
offered a bribe to twenty-eight States of
the Union, by putting money into their
treasuries, in some cases enormous sum*
as shown above. But this is not all it
is well understood that this was the 'first
step toward a much larger raid upon the
treasury. Behind it is the cotton tax hill
It is plain that no prudent government
would ever entertain the thought oi pal
ing either of these bills; but, if the direct
tax refunding scheme goes through, there
would be no consistency in denying the
cotton tax refunding bill, which rests on
the same, if not a stronger, basis. This
bill would require $69,000,000 to meet its
demands. If the one bill passes, therefore
the other is intended to follow, and when
the full programme is carrie d out, $84-
000,000 will have been distributed amon'e
the States.
This is the stake, therefore, for which
the filibusters are playing. Their effort is
to save the country from this enormous
and unjust expenditure.

From the Cuthticrt Liberal.
AVIien our first parents were created and
placed in the garden of Eden, while they
were yet pure nnd sinless, Adam said to
Eve “she shall he called woman,” and we
like the name better than the word “lady.”

name, it is good enough, nay better, for
her purest and best daughters than any
modern name.
