TALBOTTON, GA., TUESDAY, JANUARY 7 10,1882.
He Used to Bea Boy Himself.
From the Little Rock Gazette.
The other day a show came to
LiUle Rock and was shamefully im
posed upon by Uncle Isom. Wliilo
standing near the tent he saw a
crowd cHow-apimed boys grieving
on account ot financial depression.
Does ye youngsters wauter go to
der allow? he asked.
The boys responded in noisy cho
rus. Well, oomoon den. I uster
be a chile myself, and unliko the
most of men, I aiu’t forgot it.
Count these boys, ho added, ad
dressing the door-keeper. The man
began couatmg, and jby thejgtime
the boys had passed in Isom was
walkiug around, talking to acquain
tances from the plantations,
_PerO, said tho showman, give mo
twenty tickets.
You passed in twenty boys, and I
want the tickets, ortho money?
I doan owe yer no tickets, and I
iloan owe yer no money, I didn’t
101 l yer to pass do boys in. I said
count them. Iso always heard that
showmen is good on rithmclic, and
l waDtod to satisfy myself, Yer
tay dat dar was twenty boys. I
dean dispute your word, case I am
no mathematician. Sposo I tako a
lot ob boys ter de CJ.shier of a bank
and axes him tocouut ’em docs dat
signify dat do cashier is gwino ter
pass ’em into de money room? No
salt. Go back ter yer tom; I sees a
crowd going in.
The showman, remembering that
ho had left tho entrance unguarded,
turned, aud Isom walked away.

Hints to Gutt, GkaduaTbs. —An
Ohio paper snys a young lady who
graduated in a calico dress u few
years ago is now married to a rail-,
road superintendent who has an
annual inoomo of half a million dol
lars* yoar. This may bo tdeen as
the basis for the regulation of gradua
tion dresses hereafter. Had she worn
alapaca she' might have done eve n
better and caught the general manager
of the road. On the other hand, had
had she blossomed forth in white Swiss
she might have captured the president
of the concern, with untold millions;
lud she worn silk with point lace and
diamonds she might have scooped in
the conductor of a passenger train,
am’, had onyx staircases and alabaster
walls to her house, and cut the wives
of officers on thejoad as society alto
gether too thin for her style. This
ought to be a lesson to girl graduates
and a warning to them to patronize
their taylors liberally.

Under tho caption, Killed by a
fly whool of a saw mill, tho Hawk
iimville Dispatch] rtlatcs tho follow
ing tirrible tragedy; On Saturday
afternoon lust, Ephraim Pittman, a
colored man, was killed by tho
machinery ot Colcord & Bacon’s
steam saw mill, near Eastman.
Tho old man was night watchman
and about half past five o'clock in
the afternoon, while tho machinery
was in motion, passed through tho
mill, aud Ins overcoat was caught
by tho fly wheel. Ho was instantly
thrown ofT his feet, his arm broken,
one lymd terribly lacorated, his log
ernshod, and the flesh torn oil, and
his skull broken in several places.
In this mangled condition ho lived
until half past six o’clock Sunday
cvcuiug, when he died.
Tho Chronicle’s lazy man lias
this to say; I notice the passage
ef Georgians to Texas. It is mere
ly an effort to find a soft berth, to
get something for nothing. I heard
of a young man of ouo of the best
portions cf G irgi i, who ran off to
the gold Holds of Colorado. He
has returned after five years of ex
perience, and all he claims as the
net proceeds is, that he had a good
deal of fun. If a man has the ele
ments of success iu him, Georgia is
tho place for him to realize it; and
if he has not, it will bo only an nc
oident that enables him to riso in
Texas or anywhere else.
A Virginia Christmas Dinner
During the War.— Mr McCabe de
scribes a Christmas dinner at a coun
try house near Richmond. The four
gentlemen were in uniform, and the
three ladies were in homespun. They
had for dinner a S3OO ham, and the
last turkey on the plantation, value
fli 75, with Sioo worth of cabbage, po.
tatoes and hominy. Corn bread was
served, made of meal at #BO a bushel,
and salt at $1 a pound. The dessert
was black molasses at S6O a gallon,
and after one cup of tea—real tea,
worth >IOO a pound, tieasured for the
occasion as a surprise, and not sassa
fras—there was coffee at discretion
made from sweet potatoes cut into
little squares toasted and ground
down.
According to the Post-Appeal, 875-
000 people entered the turn-stiles of
the Exposition, and that 70,000 of
that number entered on free passes^
The Missing Link-
Prof ED Cope, of Philadelphia,
his becured tho skill of an extinct
monkey, which he thinks fulfills in
a remarkable degreo tho condition
oi the missing link brtweeii man
nud the lower animals. It is not
larger than the skull of n small
ground-squirrel, and belongs to a
species of marmoset It was found
in the valley of Big Horn river,
Wyoming Terrytory. The profes
sor snys;
This skull is remarkably sintihr;
in miniature, of course; to tho hu
man skull. The brain space is re
markably large, and is, in fact, sev
eral timer larger than tho brain
space of any of tho sleek toils of an -
imals of the same period of time.
Tho characteristics of the formation
of the human skull are clearly deTi
ned—so clearly as to bo remarka
ble. Tho teeth are almost the same
as liumrii teeth, while tho jaw has
many strong points of similarity. I
consider this skull as the earliest
indication of tho existence of man.
It is a now species of a familiar
class, and has hitherto been un
known to scientists. jj

some monument similar to tho 0110

What to do with Love Let
ters.
Away out in lowa a girl lms solv
ed tba love-letter problem. She
has done it, too, in a way highly
satisfactory that never writes love
letters, if there bo such. The lo
wa young woman has had all her
l.'co letters bound in book form,
and in that way she keeps them on
her parlor table for the entertain
ment of visitors along with tho fam
ily album. Tliii gives tho young
lady’s fortunate visitor an even
chance for a pleasant evening, for
there is probably nothing more en
tertaining than a series of love let
ters which dead you through all the
ups and downs of a couple of flut
tering hearts. W t . fear, however,
that the lowa plan will not bo ac
cepted by girls in general,although
some plan of dealing with lovo let
ters must be adopted. The young
women cannot do with tlieso
things us the young men do—carry
them around in their pockots till
the clothes, letters and all, go to
the lMg man,

An Important Consideration.
Aognsla Chronicle,
The most serious trespass upon
ruo forests lias been for fences and
this is another reason why UlO ‘no
fence law,’ shouhl prevail. Wo
mint treasure our woodbind and
not abuse it. As the forests are
out away at tile North ours will bo
como more and more valuable.
The day is not distant when South
ern woods will bo sought for moic
eagerly than cleared fields, and it is
of the last importance that they
shall bo preserved in every way
possible. So, as one capital pre
servative, let the ‘no-fence law* j re
vail at tiio election when called. The
Atlanta exposition has opened the
eyes of the world to the extent and
variety and value of our woods,and
they should be spared for bet), r
uses than making fences to thut
out a few predatory cows and
goats.
