Homer, Ga., Wednesday, May 0.
Professor John L. LcConte, of the
llie state university of California, in
dead.
The President is still in Califor
nia, and the department is moving
along smoothly without him.
The argument before the Western
and Atlantic Commissioners has
closed, and the people all over (lie
state will wait with patience de
cision of the court.
The following direction we clip
from an English journal: “If script
ural holiness were more zealously
preached from all our evangelical
pulpits, Christian people would speedi.
ly enjoy a closer walk and engage in
a keener service.”
This fact is becoming more and
more apparent each day that if die
two old parties want to get rid of
the sub-treasury plan they must bring
out something better. The people
will not consent to he longer hum
hugged by such men as Mills and
Hoar, who have nothing but the tariff
to offer.—National Economist.
When a man thinks nobody cares
for him, and he is alone in a cold and
selfish world,.he would do well to ask
himself this question: “What have 1
done to make anybody care for and
trlove me, and to warm the world with
faith and generosity?” If is generally
the-cane that those who Complain the
most hast) 1 done the least.

The Interior Says? “The sedate of
the United States, in the closing,days
of its late session, voted, under the
pressure of neglected business, 'to
qontinue at work all day Sunday.
Jhit in the meunddiile a member of the
body having died, adjourned ‘out of
„ respect to his memory.’. The ques
tion arises, whether the living God is
not as deserving of rCsjiect as a dead
ftenstor”’
He Gave 1 -eg Bale.
It seems that Franklin county
needs anew jail. On last Sunday
about ten o’clock, Dr. Glover who
has heeti in jail since the last term of
court, charged with the murder of
his wife, made his escape by means
of wooden’ keys. Nothing has been
heard of him since his escape. A
negro by the namq,of Reader charged
with larceny Accompanied the Doctor.
Thomas Cary was also confined in
the jail charged with rfturdcr. lie
assisted the Doctor and the negro to
escape, but*said he was not going to
leave, but was going to stand his
trial.
New Covering. for Cotton.
We find in the Atlanta Constitution
an article on anew covering for cot
ton, invented by an Atlanta man, Sir.
11, 0. King. The following is an ex.
tract'of the article, showing its mode
of manufact.ire, superior advantages,
and jirice: *
In appearance the flagging is about
the thickness of ordinary white blot
ting paper but coarser and stronger
fibred. In this is a fine steel wire
warp. This gives tlu covering
strength and allow all flexibility. The
covering when lient holds its position
almost as rigidly as a thin sheet of
tin. The body of the covering is
ordinary paper stock, chemically
treated to luiike it fire and .water
proof. Five colors the covering’ but
has no other effect.
This covering ns put on the bale in
either of two ways—with ties, or
withoirt ties, using instead, a steel
wife net.
.A prospectus says;
“This covering will entirely protect
. it against damage from any ordinary
exposure, to fire or water, and against
dirt or mud while being handled i*?
shipping. It will prevent accidental
loss or waste front the bale, but can
be conveniently sampled. By the
use of this covering there will be no
danger of cot:on tires, as has been
the case heretofore, caused from
sparks from engines, cigars, matches,
etc. This is a combined covering and
bale tie. The inside can be made
fioin the cotton stalk and bulls of
the seed, or from any other fibrous
substance, made into a thick, tough
paper, treated with asbestos, or any
chemical that will prevent fire. The
outside part, or tie, is made of web
wire, which takes the place cf the
ties. Ordinary web wire is used—
using the widths suited to the size of
the press, the selvage edge of the wire
being united together while it is in
the press with wire hooks, which are
specially made, to tlie selvage edges,
and can he as readily hooked while
the bale is in the press, as the buckle
can be fastened on ties.
This covering can be conveniently
worked on any of the different size
presses in use without atiy changes
having to be made.
The exact nature of the chemical
treatment to make the covering lire
and water proof is known only to Mr.
If. O. King, the inventor.
The bagging weighs twenty-four
pounds to the bale —equal to, or ex
eroding, the weight of jute bagging.
Mr. King proposes to guarantee
that the cost per bale will not exceed
sixty cents.
A Pleasant lay Spent Among
The Mountains.
A party of young people chaper
oned by Col. and Mrs. Oscar Brown
left Homer early Saturday morning
to visit the Currahee mountain.
After passing through some half
dozen gat** and crossing over many
hills and valleys we found ourselves
at the foot of that majestic mountain.
The scenery certainly surpassed our
expectations.
But as it was now almost noon
and we haden’t yet lasted of the
dainties which had been prepared for
us, it was decided to partake of them
before going further. The dinner
was very nice, in deed, and highly
enjoyed by all.
A move was made to ascend the moun
tain, which seemed to be quite a diffi
cult task, as it steep and
rough. We ‘icontiimed• the search,”
however, until The top was reached
n triumph, where the young
men was made to bad by
hearing say Primped slit*
never see another “Hill. s** 5 ** We
speqt quite aw hile viewing the differ
eht‘points of interest, both on the
mountain and fever the - surrounding
country. We could get a very good
view of Toceon city and also of tire
trestle and trains an thy Air Line
railroad. *
On the north side,of tire mountain
is a very large tunnel, supposed to
have been cut there by prospectors
for gold, several years ago.
Those of pur party w!'b were brave
enough ventured in as far as their
matches* a .ted. ■>
While on the summit one of the
young men challenged the ladies for
a shooting.thatch which was highly
enjoyed.
After decendihg the mountain wo
spent some time in pleasant conver
sation, and when the time came for
us to start hack to tlm city they all
seemed loath to leave the place where
they had spent such a happy day.
‘On our way home two of the
couples left us and spent the night
with relatives near Alt. Airy.
They returned on Sunday by way
of Broad River church where they
lrad the pleasure of listening to a
very interesting sermon. One of lire
party was loath to leave this place,
and not until a great deal of persua
sion, was he finally prevailed upon to
proceed further. They reached home,
however, in the afternoon and report
it delightful tijne, in deed.

Victory! Victory, jes, the fence
side in Washington district gained a
grand victory for fense, and the poor
class of people of this county. 1 am
proud that we have enough men of
! firmness and stability about them in
Washinging district to stand* up and
speak and act (or their rights. lam
also glad that they cannot be deceived
by such advice as your Mount Pleas
ant correspondent gave them in your
last issue. We are very’ cautious
how we take the advice of a stock
man.
The result was 61 for fence and <l4
hor stocklaw, giving fence 27 majof
; ity. It seems from the result of
(this election that stocklaw is on ,n
decline # in our district. We had a
! majority dV'ill before and 27 tliis
time. So mote it be. •

use of their time and are most done
planting.
Wheat and oats are looking fine,
but are needing rain.
We like The Gazette splendidly.
More Emphatic Thau Eloquent.
A Methodist minister once started
a church in a young western town,
but for want of pecuniary support
was soon obliged to abandon it. Jfis
farewell sermon to the lukewarm
brethren was characterized by more
heat than elegance. He ended thus:
“At the last day the Lord will say to
St. Peter, 'Where is your flock?’ and
St. Peter will answer, ‘Here, Lord;
and so all of the shepherds can an ;
swer. .But when he asks me, ‘Where
is your sheep?’ how will you feel
when 1 am compelled to reply, ‘Lord,
I haven’t any; mine are all hogs!”
Rylee School House.
The farmers of this section arc
about done planting.
Wheat and oats are looking fine.
Mr. Willian Strickland had the
misfortune to get his leg broken the

He fell off the train and striking the
cressties broke his leg.
There was a general house rocking
the other night not far from this
place. *

It is very dry in this section. The

Wheat looks fine and no rust yet.
Oats are good, but low.
Albert "H. Cochran found two
swarms of bees last week, and he

Messrs. Priekett and White, of
Muysville, were in our community last

It is against the law for a man to
carry a gun or pistol to churah on
week days; what about a ytmng lady
carrying a large gun to church on
Sunday ?
The weather is getting hot enoygh
for ice lemonade to'go pretty well all
night.
Wonder why some body don’t get

GEORGIA.
BY ISAAC POWELL TABOR.
Our southland boasts its teeming cane,
The chilly north its great domain,
And the sun’s brilliant rays unfold,
On building masts and quartz of gold.
Rough in the norLli, smooth in the
south.
From Columbus to Savannah’s mouth.
Her white sands are sands alofle,
Her great mines are gold and stone.
Yet on her hills and on her brows,
Pland the sheep and grazing cows,
And wlmt the northern bills denies,
The level southern bell supplies.
The health may fail, the heart may
faint,
But yet we dare to make complaint,
And dare to plead in times like these.
The weakness of our love of ease.
The beauties of our commonwealth
Are free, strom:, athletic and of w raltli,
The artful hand and cultured brain,
Aie more to her than gold or grain
Yet. in Georgia and on her sands,
And sunny hills, the school li.use
stands.
And what her hill v soil denies,
The riches of the. mind supplies.
