KeLived at Stone Mountain
From Texas Siftiugs.
No, sir, continued the early set
tler, I coiuo here *fol‘o the woods ;
was burned. I like tho freedom ot |
the frontier, an* I know 1 would not
feel at homo in tho streets of a city.
I tvas born withiu sight of Stouo
Mountain, in Georgia, when the In
dians were thar same as they are ou
the frontier now. See that soar?
The early settler took oft his liat
and showed us a heavy seal' run
ning from tho top of his head al
most to his left eyebrow. That thar
is what I got from an Indian toma
hawk when I was ‘bout three year
old. My oldest brother was killed,
and my father was ruunin to hide
in a cornliold, with me in his arms,
wliou 1 got that. The old man had
an ax in his hand and ho split the
redskin's head clear to tho teeth.
Not much civilzation bout them
digging; no, sir.
Not much stylo about those ear
ly Georgia, pioneers, I reckon? Baid
the reporter.
Siyl*’! Why I was twelve years
old When got my first pair of boots.
Don't I remember them yellow top.-!
Folks in them parts mostly tnnned
their own leather, but them was
genuine utoro bootß. They got me
into two fights. 1 had to fit with
two other boys tho first day I put
'em on, ami I was the under dog in
both fights. The hois did't ap
prove of style in those days. I was
a man growed ‘tore ever I saw an
earthernw aro plate. We had noth
in' but pewter plates to oat off, and
wood* n noggins to ill ink out of: but,
bless yoii, wo never wanted for
somethin' t > put in them. We had
lots ot'b'ar incut and cords of all
sorts of guine. No, wc didn't know
nothin' ot flour bread—corn bread
was ilia staple. Whisky! I should
say so! Most cveiybody made their
own but it you wa'u't fixed to make
yourself, you had only to carry a
bushel of i orn to a neighoi's still
and come back with a demijohn of
pure juice. When we had a coru
shucking, alog rolling, a house-rais
in* or any such frolic, tho whisky
just sloshed round like water. Wo
only got coffee on Sundays, but wo
had whisky all the time, ank it was
whisky as was whisky—not adul
terate*] pizon they call by that
name now, You could have got
fuUcrna goose on if, nd it wouldn't
hurt yui.
As iho early settlor said this he
sighed, wiped his mouth ou his
si irt sleeve, and shook his head in
a regretful sort of way, indicating
liis belief that those good old days
wlicu whisky actually sloshed around
were gone.

At the close of the war cotton seed
was regarded as of little or no value,
except fot planting, and. consequent
ly, almost the entire product was
thrown away. To-day, according to
the statements made in yesterday’s
Herald by Tariff Commissioner Ken
ner, of Louisiana, it is vain-d atone
third of the cotton crop. Tne annu
al product of seed i3 now about two
and a half million tons over and above
what is needed for planting purposes,
and the price has reached from fif
teen to twenty dollars a ton. The
value of the annual yeild when made
int j oil cake and other products is es
timated at from to too,-
000,000. 'Hits is a very substantial
source of wealth and material pros
perity to the South, and one whose
inipoitauce is no longer unapprecia
ted by Southern captalists. The
number of mills in operation and in
progress of construction for couvert
i.ig cotton seed into its valuable pro
due's is reported at from sixty-five
to seventy, most of which have been
started in the past few years, and as
tli" business is found to be highly
profitable lhe establishments are like
ly to mul iply with considerable ra
pidity. These are results over which
the North as well as the South has
reason to rejoice.
Mount Pleasant, lowa, has an edi
fying ghost sensation. Years ago a
murder ;s said to have been commit
ted m an old mill, and lately a regula
tion white, vaporish looking form,
which says it is the spirit of the mur
dered man, has taken ta roaming
through the ancient structure o’ nights
moaning, shrieking, and making all
kinds of unearthly noises, as a good
healthy ghost should. But it is never
theless a sociable soit of a spook, for
it lias talked with some of the citizens
and told them that its body was thrown
in a hole in the ground under the
northwest comer of the mill, and that
the luckless name demands a decent
burial. There is no doubt at all about
this being a genuine imported, hand
made-and-will-wash ghost. Two or
three Mount Pleasant policemen have
seen it.

A tree was cut a few week ago
in Hempstead county, Arksusas,

constantly, half a day to fell it.
The Waynesboro Citizen is th- ru
ral philosopher of the Georgia press,
and never fails to go to the bottom of
things. The recent efforts of the wa
ters to flood the valleys calls forth the
information that—
when sheep realize the fact that they
are surrounded by-the rising flood,
they make no effort to escape, but
will stand still, and if the water rises
high enough, will submit to their fate
and quietly drown without a “bleat.”
When a rabbit finds himself surround
ed, “and the water a risin’,” seeming
to know that he cannot save himself
by swimming, seeks the highest point
of land he can reach, and often many
of them congregate on one little knoll,
where boys who understand this hunt
them and take them in great numbers.
If the water continues to rise, and the
rabbit is forced to seek other refuge,
they will go up hollows in trees, leap
on stumps, ldgs, or rafts—anywhere to
get away from the water. And it of
ten happens that a log or raft upon
which one or more rabbits have gone
for safety is floated off, an carried
down the current. Many of them are
drowned upon logs, as the log Will be
turned over by a rough place in the
current or the striking of any object in
the stream, when “lifer Rabbit” finds
a watery grave.

Miss Rannabl, an East India girl
of 20, is said to be the most learned
women in the world. She can read
and write in twelve languages, having
a wonderful gift in that way, besides
beimg up in mathematics, astronomy
and history. She is studying medi
cine, and will go to India to practice,
where she says thousands of her coun
trymen die every year because they
will not consult male physicians.
Henry Prouse Cooper, the “Hin
glish Tailor” of New York, who has
been more or less before the public
for the last six moths, has mysteriously
disappeared and is believed to have
gone to Europe. Now his creditors
are seeuritors are securing attachments
against his property. In many things
Cooper is a good representative of an
ass.
The boys built a bonfire in Troy,
New York, on the night of the last
presidential election in honor of Gar
field, and the coke which underlaid
the site of the fire united and has been
burning ever since. It ’ was not
thought when the fire was started that
it would burn longer than the life of
the man in whose honor it was kin
dled, but such arc the inscrutable ways
of small things.
