J. A. WALKER, ColumbueGa.,
TALBOTTON, GA., TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1882.
A Practical Boy.
Tommy, observed a Nelson street
mother to her san, a youth of thir
teen years, you must cut wood for
the ftont roomstovo, Mr Crawford
comes te-night.
Mr Crawford is n young gentle
man who is ‘keeping company' with
Fannie, Tommy’s sister, Tho time
was Wednesday evening, Tommy
had been skating sinco school, and
was now anxiously awaiting his sup
per. Tho announcement came ui -
on him with disagreeable force.
Is that old rooster comiu' round
hero to-night? he impetuously cried?
Thomas! cried his mother iu a
voice of horror.
Thomas having eased his mind
somewhat of tho burden, proceeded
to tho wood pile without further
remark.
He was not in a very good humor
ns ho looked,around for tho axo,
and articles foreign to tho search
were moved with graceless hasto.
This is a reg'lar dog's life, ho
moodily ejaculated. First it's Sun
day night, then it‘s Wednesday
night and then it‘s Friday night,
au every littlo while an extra night
thrown in. I don't see tho nso of
girls about the house. If I've got
to cut wood every time that feller
coiuos around I'll know tho reason
why. I wont put on like this. I
ain't going to be made a pack mule
01, by Goorge, for all the Crawfords
and Fanny* on earth. It's all nice
t nougli for to be courtin' and act
ing sickish, but I notieo I've got to
do all the work. It's played out by
jinks! 1 haint that kind of a hairpin.
I'd just like to bavo somebody tell
me, ho added, looking around for
the person in question, how much
of tho candy and oranges and other
s off that Fanny gets, I got? Not
one whiff, by gracious, not one sin
glo whiff. And here I chop wood
for her and him at night,''and it it
was not for me they'd freozo to
death. Oh, they are a sweet coup,
le, tboy bre.
'Closing his remarks with this
gloomy observation on his sister
and her companion, lie worked away
on tho wood until the amount nec
essary was prepared. About 7
o’clockjMr Crawford's knock Bonn
ded at the door. Fanny's mother
was to have lot him in, but Tommy
volunteered his services. lie es
corted tho young gentleman into the
front room, and then backiug him
self agiumt the door ho poiutod to
the stove which w .s throwing out a
mst welcome boat, uud storuly in
quired:
Is that wlint you crll a Rood lire?
Yes, indeed, said Mr Crawford,
rubbing bis bands gratefully.
Ah! said Tommy, iu a tone of re
lief, although his fnco scarcely re
laxed the sovority of its expression.
You couldn't very woll get along
iu here without a fire, oould you?
Hardly.
I s'poso not. Now who do you
suppose made that fire?
Why-/—i suppose -why, I
don't lfno\v,naid Mr Crawlord appa
rently embarrassed by tho question.
No? well I can tell you, I made
that fire. I cut the wood for it.
I've been doing it all the while you
have come hero and you toasted
your shins by it, and ato candy and
sucKod oranges. You and Fan
have all the comfort of it and I've
done all the work. And not one
smell of them candies and oranges
have I had—not a living smelL
The unhappy boy Knit his eyebrows
budinstiuctivcly clenched hishanda
Scarcely less undisturbed appeared
Fanny's young man. Ho glanced
uneasily from tho fireman to the
stove but ho made no reply. He
waited apprehensively for what was
to follow.
I*ll bet yon have got a pound of
assorted candies in your clothes
this minute for Fan?
Tuis came in so directly in the
form of an interrogation, that /Mr
Crawford unhesitatingly nod/ed.
So he thought, pursued Fanny's
brother. Now I want to tell you
that if this fire business ii to bo car
ried on by me, there is got to be a
different arrangement of things. It
not, you can oome up here and cut
your own wood. Will you divvy
on them candies?
Why—why—l—l hardly would
like to do that, Tommy. I got
these for Fanny you Know.
Yes, I Know, 6aid Tommy grim
ly. When Ifsee you come here
again I shall expect to see you lug
ging aD axe on your shoulder.
Mr Crawford looKed aghast.
But, Tommy, he expostulated,
you won’t go bftCK on me line that;
I'll pay you ior doing it.
j Oh! what will you pay?
! I'll give you fifty cents a weex,
Hope to die?
Yes, said Mr Craw foul eagerly.
Then I'm just your cheese, said
tli'-yhuth, the hard linos molting
entirely out of his face. There is
nothing moan about, me, but I dodt
want to go alono in the darn. This
thing has got to bo settled one way
or another. But noiv that it's fixed
you'll find mo up to tho mars evory
time, ami if I don't mane that stove
roar up on it's hind legs, I am a
Daldheaded lep r without a pedigree.
And with a flourish expressivo of
the deepest earnestness, ho stalxod
cut of the room.
Why Mr Seney Gives-
Interview in Now York Tribune.
I feel that I am responsible for the
right use of the money given me.
With the experience that I have, I be
lieve that I am the person best quali
fied to carry out the provisions and
duties of that trusteeship. What cer
tainty have I that these provisions and
duties would ever be duly carried out
after my death. Absolutely none.
Whereas now, by making these gifts
in my lifatime I am sure that the pre
cise object I desire is accomplished in
just the way I want. Anil then, too,
I am more and more convinced cf the
words : “It is more blessed to give
than to receive.” The groat dan
ger ofincreasng riches is that it fosters
a disposition to hoard money only
for the sake of hoarding it. Slightly
to alter a common word, it becomes
a money-mania with them ; they gloat
over their millions just because they
are millions, and not because of the
happiness pro lucible from them. Now
I maintain that such a spirit is unwor
thy not only of a true Christian but of
a true man. and I have determined
never to let it appear in my character.
Cotton Statement.
According to the Fuanuial
Chronicle of Friday last, the re
ceipts at all the ports since Soptem
tenibor 1, tip to that dato, were 3,-
787,538 bales compaaed with 4,116,-
544 bales in 1881, and 3,863,604 in
1580—showing a fulling off com
pared with last year of 829,006
bales, ami as compared with 1880,
of 7C,120,
The receipts for the week 95,057
hides, compared with 147,129 halos last
year, and 112,103 In 1880.
Stocks jn in tenor towns were 360,019
against3l7,Bo6 at same date last year.
The total visible supply is 3,120,982
hales, against 2,830,814 last year and 2,-
.333,927 in 1880. Those figures indicate
an increase in cotton in sight last Friday
night, compared with the same date in
1881, ol $290,168, and an increase corn
pared with same dato in 1880 of 491,432
bales, and as compared with 1879, an iu
croupe of 579,689 bales. $
Signs of Rain.
Its a sign of rain ivhon a dog lies
on his back with his legs toward the
sky; when a hog is sooh running
with a stick in it’s mouth; when
geese hold a nomincting convention
just before day; guinea fowls all cry
pot-ruck, pot-rack! and go under
the porch; when ducks, aftor oiling
themselves, throw water over their
backs; when in tho morning, tho
olouds are moving south and south
east, and when the eun sots com
pletely obscured by a cloud.
Six wcoks after the death of Mr
Gilbert Thompson's wife, in New
York city, in 18C4, he locked his
wife’s sister, Miss Barker, in a
room, aud called God to witnoss
that he loved bor. would cherish
her till death did them part, and
more of the same kind. Ho said
he couldn't marry her on account
of his mother's opposition, but from
that tirno ho proceeded to live with
her as his vife, and continued this
for mrny years. All the time he
held himself out to tho world as
a widowor, and two months ago he
died leaving a vast fortune. Now
Miss Barker puls in an appearance,
and, telling this story, asks a wife's
dower. The court is somewhat
puzzled, but proposes to give Miss
B, a chance, and if she can make it
appear that ho actually regarded
her as his wife, as she says ho did,
will divide the fortune with her.
Dr Hammond saysthat t wben you
poke the end of your finger in your
ear the roaring noise you hoar is
tho circulation in your, finger which
is a fact, as any one can demonstrate
for himself by first putting his fin
gers in his ears, and then stopping
them np with ether substance.
The Parisians have eaten 11,000
horses and 250 males and jackass
es, last year, and it was a poor sea
son for fresh meat, too.
The factories of New England
have not only enriched the pro
prietors, but the farmers as well,
in that country. Wherever thore
is a dense population, there is a
demend for farm products. When
the South is dotted over witn these
sources of wealth, Southern far
mers will find that it will be more
profitable to raise sweet potatoes
aid onions and rice; than spend all
heir time on cotton.
