In Mrs. Dorough’s article in last

called Lune, seems to us to represent

“A fair and radiant maiden whom the
angels named Lanore seems to us to
represent bis lost genius."

Last week’s Gazette stated that
the editor and senior printer had gone
possibly not to return and that the
junior reigned supreme. But before
going to press the senior put in an
appearance, and now here we are ex
pecting every moment the return of
the editor. Our bright anticipations
are all blasted, and we are doomed
to listen to “Hart”-rending stories and
witness New York by “gas” light.

J. K. Fuller, a member of Bush

his brother landlord, planted his crop

County School Commissioner J. D,
Gunnels was in town Monday on his
round visiting the schools throughout
the county, and while here gave Mrs.
Morris’ school an excellent talk. His
subject was ‘‘Obedience,” and while
we are sorry to say that the subject
was an appropriate one we are very
glad to state that it was well handled,
and no doubt impressions were made
upon the young minds that will result
in great good. He made the broad
assertion that all the afflictions and
punishments, all the chain-gangs and
occupants of dugeons resulted from
disobedience, and the disobedient
children generally made disobedient
men and women, and in consequence
filled our jails aud penitentiaries.
Ilis talk was logical and Ins illustra
tions were pointed.

I write to speak of the fine impres
sion made by the editors of the week
ly press during their late visit to At
lanta. They were pronounced as tine
looking body intellectually as ever
visited the city. Their visit to the
executive mansion was one of great
pleasure, and they made a splendid
impression on all present especially
the ladies.
The legislature has gone industri
ously 'o work and it is believed by
some that it will adjourn in sixty days.
In the main all the members are
punctual to their seats and are
anxious to get through and adjourn
as soon as possible. Among the promi
nent members is Hon M. L. McDon
ald, of Banks county. He never
missess a roll call, and advocates all
laws that will benefit the farmers and
working people. Ho is a member of
several of the house committees, on
all of which he makes a good mem
ber. No county in the state lias a
representative trueer to his people.

Tribute of Respect.
Ashland, Ga., July 15, 1891.
Tribute of respect of a brother to
'Amanda W. Loftis, daughter of .Jas.
J. and Martha A. Loftis, who depart
ed this life June 30th, 1891. at the
early age of four years, four months
and seven days
She had heed afflicted from birth
with disease of her lungs. She was
the pride of the family during her
short stay. She seldom wanted any
thing that was not granted, regard
less of circumstances or cost. The
fond mother has carried her for miles
about the house to satisfy her. The
loving father seldom failed to nurse
her at the table; but now she is gone.
They miss her in her accustomed
place in the home that can never be
filled. They will ever hold her crib
and rocker and other toys as relies of
the little one.
She was buried at Ebcnczer church
near Ashland. The service was con
ducted by Rev. George W. Carroll
who preached a short but pointed
sermon for the benefit of the living.
The good people around Ashland
has many thanks for their deeds of
kindness to the Jittle sufferer and
the bereaved.
She leaves three brothers and three
sisters who mourn for her, but not as
those who have no hope. One broth
er and one sister have proceeded her
to the grave.

Editor Gazette:
I have been a reader of The Ga
zette quite a while, and seeing so
many r of uiy old friends’ names in it,
and the general news of Banks coun
ty, I thought it migfTt be interesting
to my friends, and your readers gen
erally, to know something of me and
the country here about.
Crops are looking well, plenty rain
having fallen up to the present. If
seasons hold out the crops in this sec
tion will be as gooit as have been
made in ten years. Crops have been
laid by, and the farmers have ceased
to pay the “almighty dollar” per
bushel for corn, caused by the over
flow last fall.
I see the name of our old friend
Mr. J. K. Thompson in your paper,
and ye editor had the pleasure of
riding over his broad fields of corn;
and you say he will make two thou
sand bushels on one hundred acres.
Mr. Thompson is a good man and a
good farmer. But, Mr. Editor, if you
will come over I will show you corn
that will make fifty and sixty bushels
per acre.
Mr. John C. Davenport has forty
acres in Saline bottom, he says, will
make two thousand bushels if no dis
aster befalls it.
Old Uncle Horace Bennett, former
ly of Georgia, requested your corres
pondent to state that he had a fine
crop on his place this year, and it was
the easiest of the past ton crops cul
tivated. Uuncle 11. is a good farmer.
Mr. 0. H. Rucker thinks he will
harvest eight hundred or (ne thou
sand bushels of corn from eighteen
acres this year. Your humble servant
had the pleasure of riding over it a
few days ago and I pronounco it fine.
The rows are throe and a half or four
feet wide and the corn stands from
one foot to eighteen inches in the
drill, and the most of it has two
healthy looking shoots to the stalk.
Mr. Enoch A. llucker, the boss
hunter of our country, killed a var
mont the other day he could not
name. From the description he gave
oid citizens thought it to be a cow
eater wolf. It was long as one of his
hounds.
Ye editor ought to have spent the
4th of July with us if you are fond of
fish. Your humble servant took blue
cat fish from a trot line over two feet
long. Some of which would have
weighed ten or twelve pounds. \Ye
had a big fish fry and plenty left.
Mr. John H. O’Kelley was boss fisher
on that occasion.
The hunters are getting their dogs
in trim for the first of August next
to chase the deer. The game law is
open for discussion, and Major Sam
Sanders says he will put in a few
of them. Mr. Sam enjoys debate,
and is a good hunter.
Messrs. Raddie and Will Ray will
soon have their sawmill in full opera
lion again.
The health of the county is not
very good at present. However, the
most of tlie illness is confined to the
children, who are suffering with sum
mer complaints.
The ladies are very busy canning
berries. The black and huckleberry
crops are fine.
Perhaps I have written enough for
this time, and if this don’t find its
way to the waste basket I may possi
bly write again.
Success to The Gazette.

Editor Gazette :
I seen in your paper of the loth of
this month a peace lit by a Mr. Ob
server, of Berlin, about Billy Mason a
bavin of a whirligig to keap the flys
and things from restin, an about him
a kilin of a big bin heron.
Well, as thare have bin a heap o’
talk about wild varmonts art sich over
on this side of the destrict I tuck a
notion that I would jest go over to
Billys and sea what hc*Tiad kild, and
what was my surprise when I larnt
that it wasent nothin but a common
old fashioned blu crane jest sich as
have bin a flying about in Banks
county ever since before I was a boy.
Heron, indeed!
Sum people ar a git tin so mitv per
lite now-a-days, a studyin of grammer,
reterick and ferlosophy and .so fourth,
at these big scools, you know, that
common fokes don’t hardly no what
these hi larnt nns mean no how when
they are talkin half of thar time. No,
ef lie’ad a sed Blu crane at fust I’d a
node rite strata what he ment and
would’ent a had to went all the way
over to Billys to a scad about it.
But I sorter wanted to walk about
over craps a little anny how, and so
the time wasent all lost no how. Yon
sea I had saw in that same peace
what Mr. Observer rit about sience
and elbo greace on my place, an it
was that part of the peace that I
wanted to supply to more especially.
You sea that put a.hrand new ide into
mv hed. I have bin a farming party
ny' onto less than forty years, and I
dun node it takes min lire and workin
and sence to make farmin pay, but.
the ide of science and elbogreasc a
com in on the farm is anew ide to me,
So I thought as I was a going to
Billys anny how to sea him about that
heron I would just hunt up Mr. Ob
server and sea his crap and truck, and
larn sumpthin about his new' way of
farmin it, because you know I tuck
down the sensis last June were a year
ago, and there wem’t narry man in
my three destricts by the name of
Observer. So I node he was anew
cummer and had new ways a makin
ot stuff, and I was naturly anxious to
sea him, a thinking I mite strike a
trade for a nuther year. I wanted
to furnish the sience and let him fur
nish the elite grease, you know, anil
divide the crap by half. So I ram
bled on over the western territory of
Berlin destrict until I found a place
whare there was a party good lookin
crap of feald and garden truck and as
it ware about the only one in the
destrict that hadent bin rit about in
The Gazette I knowd that was
whar Mr. Observer lived so I axed
whare he was an they sed they dident
no any sich a man, and I sed: O, its
the man what writes up farms and
things from Berlin to The Gazette,
and they sed that wernt his name,
and that when fokes rit any thing
they dident want any buddy to no
who dun it they just sinod swathing
besides their rail name, and folks a
wonderin and a gessin who lie was.
So I fold um as how 1 had come to
lam sumpthin about Iris new way a
makin stuff, and axt um how he ap
plied the sience and elbo grease, and
they sed that sience meat know in
how and elbo grease wasent mithin
but work in. They sed Mr. Observer
didn’t furnish the elbo grease thare,
for they done the work there selves;
t hen I was satisfied that the best way
to get information is in tire good old
seool of experience; to keep on a tak
in ot The Gazette and git an origi
nal Webster’s unabridged dictionary
and then when I sea or reed enny of
these big soundin words 1 can find
out what they mean without v astin a
day’s work or too a runnin around
ax in questions.
I am as ever eternally ami fratern
ally yours, Dr. Garrison.
