WALKER, Columbus Ga., 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. *• '■ 1 1 '■ 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 General News- The public debt of Tennessee is $:)3,000,000. There are 70,000 head ef raltlo and 35,000 bqjid of .sheep in -Mit chell county, Texas, Georgia lias forty cotton mills, and they pay from eight to twenty five per coni, net on the money in vested. An eighteen pound sweet potato is among tiie Georgia exhibits at the Exposition. Tho Clipper says tbc people of Warren county will vote on the (once question in January. If they are wise they will vote no fence. It is easier to fence in than to fence out. Experiments in Mississippi are held to prove that col ton seed oil, for frying purposes, is superior to lard, there being no rancidness, burning or blackening. Meriwether Vindicator: A hand some monument similar to tho 0110 in memory ol Mrs Warner, but lar ger mid u little taller, was erected last week over the grave ot Judge Hiram Warner, The monument consists of six pieces, the shaft bo ing about seven feet in height. Tho brief inscription reads; “Hiram Warner, Chief Justice ef the Su premo Court of Georgia, born Oc tober 24, 1802; died June 30, 1881, aged 78 yoars.” A substantial neat iron railing surrounds tho family inclosure. 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, ■ 1 1 ♦ —— 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. A destructive five visited the town of Fort Valley on Thursday, Deo 27th, burning the large hotel ot llrs Jj L Isy lngton, who sustained a loss of $6,(.00. O.liers sustained" losses in varying amounts. Several largo stores were insured,the total loss being $115,700, with insurance on other property destroys l of $18,900. Hon C M Clay, of Kentucky has written a letter urging the nomination of Hon. Samuel J. Tilden as the Denies.'ratic candidate for the next presidency. 1 AT TTIOr.TS! V HARDWARI STORE Talbotton. G-et.
