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. Tho South’s New ludustry. New York Herald. 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. Southern Intelligence. Richmond, Virginia, has a pop ulation of G 3,000. Recent cohl weather has injured the w mat in nonii Alabama. There are 250 students in (lie n gricultural and mechanical college , of Mississippi, Several mad dogs have recently beon killed iu Laurens county, South Carolina, Farmers iu Barbour coun y, Florida, have undo ample arrange ments for planting corn. Texas expends $75,000 a year ir. maintaining a battalion of rangers ou the Mexican frontier. In Elizabeth City, North Carol'., ua, there nro thirty persons over the ago of seventy years. Alabuma has twenty-two iron fur naces in operation, pioducing dai ly more than a thousand tons. Wild duck are so thick in tho wa ter-courses iu Brevard county, Florida, that they have to bo shov ed aside while boats are passing. Tuscaloosa, Alabama, will re ceive not less than 20,000 bales ot cotton thi* soason. The receipts only amounted to about 13,000 last yoar. A suit between patties in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, for $7.50, hav ing gone Ihrmgh the differant cou*is of appeal, from a ward jus tice court up, is now before tho sur promo court of tho the state. A tree was cut a few week ago in Hempstead county, Arksusas, that measured 20 feet in circumfer ence, It took six men, working 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. Mary Campbell, Savannah, Ga, says; “I have used brown's Iren Bitters successfully for kidney dis ease.” 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. The ninth census cost, it is said, nine cents per head ot population. The tenth census will amount to only nine cents and a quarter per.head, ac cording to an anonymous but “well informed’ authority.
