The general reader may or may not
know how Hart county, in northeast
Georgia, was named for a woman—
one ignorant of letters and the nice
civilities of life; plain, coarse, and
pointed in speech when'aroused, yet
she bad a love of liberty and a tender
regard for those she called friends.
She figured in the days of the Revo-
lotionary war in Elbert county, and
did good service for her country.
She was fearless, bold and aggres
sive, aad bad self-reliance and cour
age that never forsook her in the
hour of danger. She was a gloat
lover of the “liberty boys,” as she
called' the Whigs, and her heart was
bitter against ibe tories and Britains.
A party of tories, in their hunt for
some WLigs oalled at her bouse in
Elbert county and asked to have din
ner. Said Nancy:'
“I never feed King’e men if I can
help it; the villinns have put it out of
my power to feed even my own fam
ily and friends by stealing and killing
my poultry and piga, except that old
gobbler you see in the yard.”
“Well," said the leader of the par
ty, “and that yon shall cook for ns,”
and shot down the gobbler.
Nanoy Hart need some very strong
words at tbe act, but in a little time
seemed to take it all as a matter of
necessity and began to prepare the
gobbler for dinner. Wbeo cooked
tbe tories sat down to diuuer and
were having a good time of it, drink
iug their liquor and crackiog jokes
with Nanoy.
The party had become merry from
drink. They had cautiously stacked
their arms where, they wore in view
and within reach. Mrs. Hart would
pass between them and their guns in
waiting on .tlio party. There was a
crack in the log cabin, and Mrs. Hart
had unobserved slipped out two of tbe
five muskets, and she was caught in
the act of slipping out the third. Tbe
Tories spraDg to their feet, and Mrs.
Hart threw the musket to her shoul
der uDd swore she would kill tbe first
man who moved, nnd then told her
Sukey to blow the horn for her father
to come. As soon ns tbe Tories
heard tbe order ore rushed at Mrs.
Hart and was shot dead. Seizing an
other musket she pointed nt tbe re-
mniuiniug four, when Sukey came in
and said: “Daddy and them will to
here soon.” Another Tory made nn
advance, und bo was shot nnd badly
wounded. Then, seizing another
musket, she called upon the three To
ries ‘to surruinler their Tory carcasses
to a Whig woman..”
They dgree to surrender, nnd shake
bands upon the strength of it. But
Nancy bijd no idea of letting them
get within ten feet of her, and held
them at hay until her husband nnd a
few neighbors came up. Tbe men
warded to shoot the Tories npon the
spot; but Nancy said “they had sur
rendered her, and that shooting was
too good I. r them.” This hint was
enough; tbe dead man was taken out
of the house; the wounded Tory and
the others were bound and hung.
The tree upon which tin y w.-re hung
'was standing in 1838 and pointed out
by one who lived in those bloody and
brutal times.
The Tories allowed no mercy to the
Whigs, nor did Hie Whigs show any
when they riinght Tories. Colonel
John Dooly, for whom Dooly county
was named, wnx murdered in his own
iKni-e by Tories, amt his son, who
whs afterwards the celebrated Judge
Dooly, wns under the bed hid «».■«
nt the time. He waa at the lime i,o.
Mitubie r.,r i or twelve years of age. To commem-
v t». .t,„ r «• n.ti« I ornte Nancy’s heroism and patriot-
this office, jisin, Hart county was named for her.
COBK. STRAW .1ND WOODEN WARE
Cliictp Herald.
“We bent the old world at cutting
corks,” says a Chicago dealer, “but it
ia rather strange that America should
import tons of straw. Yet we do ev
ery year bny straw in Germany in the
shape of bottle-coders. These covers
cost $8 per thousand, and are hand
made. They cannot be made in this
country fur four times that nmonnt,
until somebody gels up a mnehine to
do it with. We import something
like 100,000 of these covers every
month. Alt of these little tin-foil
caps for wine and soda bottles come
from Paris. A.New York firm baB
tried to compete, bnt they can’t .do it.
We have'380,000 at the depot, just'nr-
.rived from Paris. Thep are shipped
in hermetically sealed cases.
“But this country leads in wooden-
ware. Perhaps yon don’t,know it,
but the best woodenwnre mnkerin
the United States carried on business
in Chicago for twenty-five years. He
is now over in Michigan, in tjie tim
ber country, making faucets, bungs,
bung-starters, wooden shovels, cork
drivers, and ’viuegar measures nnd
funnels, each out of one piece of
wood, without joint or seam. . As for
buugs, Cincinnati might properly be
called tbe bnugtown of America, as
there are made nil tbe bangs used m
this country. One factory there ships
200 barrels of bungs every day.” •
HAVING A LIFE.
WEAK
EYES!
Foolish spending is tbe father of
poverty. Do not be ashamed of bard
work. Work for tbe best wages you
can get, but work for half price rath
er than be idle. Be your own mas
ter, and do hot let society or fashion
swallow op your individuality—bat,
coat and boots. Do not eat up or
wear all that you earn. Compel your
selfish body to spare something for
profit saved. Be atingy to your own
appetite, bat merifnl to others' neces
sities. Help others, and ask no help
for yourself. See that you are proud.
Let your pride be of tbe right kind.
Be too proud to be lasy; tod proud to
give up without conquering every dif
ficulty; too prond to wear a coat you
cannot afford to boy; too proud to
be in company that you cannot keep
up with expenses; too prond to lie, or
Bteal, or cheat; too prond to be stingy.

One day lost winter, '83-’84, wfyeji t
the mercury wns down somewhere in
the 40s below, nu open sleigh-stage
was making its way along a moun
tain road betweeo two Montana towns.
The only passengers were a woman
and her young child. They were
scuntily clad tor the rigorous weather,
and the wuiuhu removed one of
her wraps to protect the child. The
driver discerned that she was grow-
ing drowsy, and warned her of tbe
deadly peril of falling asleep. It wns
of no use, nor did tbe vigorous sbak
iug he gave her sorve. to keep her
awake. Finally the driver seized her,
threw her out into the road, und
drove off with the child at' a rapid
pace. The last expedient was suc
cessful. Awukened by the shock of
the fall, the womau saw the stage
disappearing with her child. Hdr
maternal instincts were aroused. She
rnu after tbe stuge ns .fast us she
could; the driver slackened up a little,
but did not stop till be saw that that
poor mother was thoroughly warmed
by the evereise. Her life was saved.
An hour later the stage reacbecT a
station, where buffalo robes were ob
tained to protect Iter against the
deadly cold for the remainder of her
journey.
Uncle Isom was whitewashing an
old, dilapidated house on Whitehall
street yesterday. The interior bad a
ghostly appearance, and a gentleman
said to the old negro:
“Isom, ain’t you afraid of ghosts?”
“No, sab; datlain’t,” waa tbe re
ply, ns the old man's face loomed up
with a smile.
“No, salt. Dar are no gboetis.”
"How do yoa know ?”
“Case, snh, when a person dies dey
goes to beaben or purgatory, or de
udder.”

An old colored woman .named Mal-
viny had beard that it was a great re
commendation for a servant if she ha t
remained a number of years in one
family. Mrs. Brown needed a nurse
and Malviny applied in person for the
position.
Have yon had any experieude tak
ing enre of children?'’ asked Mrs.
Brown.
“Has I had any 'sperieuce wtd cbiU
druna ? I sboidd say I bad lots «>b
bit. Why, bress your soul, I took
« ob one cbiie for twen'y yeabs;
yes, mum, I did. De parents ob dat

SAVED HER BACON.
In 18G3 there lived near Palmetto
a widow by the name of Mrs. Coch
ran. Although alone, her smoke
house was well-stocked, and when
Sherman’s army came marching
tbrougb'ebe was well supplied. Learn
ing of. their thievish disposition, she
bad bee entire lot of bacon piled np
in the front yard, and a huge butcher
knife stuck into tbs sumo. It wasn’t
long before Yankee noses smelt tbe
meat and came prowling around. To
their surprise it was already for them
to take away, and there stood the
old lady, who shouted us a gang oame
in sight: “Come on, ye heathens, and
help yerself to this fine men*, ’kose
I've pizened every pound of it, and
may tbe Lord baore pity on ye.” Her
meat wax nut touched.—Savannah
News. ,
Millionsof people go through life
breathing through tbeir mouths, ap
parently nnconscioas that tbeir noses
were given them for breathing pur
poses. Tbe mouth-breathing habit
is deadly. It begins in infancy and
continues through life. It distorts
the countenance, giving it nu idiotio
expression. The man who breathes
through his nose can stand against
malaria longer than the man who
breatbea through bis month. Tbe ex
emption of the Indians from many of
the ailments, of civilised life is due
solely to the (mbit of using the untie
properly. Whenever a parent sees
his child with bis month open, inhal
ing the air, be should close tbe young
ster's lips, and, if need he, call in the
aid of tbe switch.
Tramps are becoming troublesome
everywhere. One day last week four
tramps came npon a nutting-party, a
a young man and two young ladies,
in Vermont, tied the man to a tree
and outraged the girls. The fiends
were caught nnd killed without trial.
RFLE-PRAINE.
Jawlah Meuenger.
A man once walked along the hanks
of tbe mighty Eopbrates river. Its
waters moved softly and silently
along. “Why do not thy waters surge
and roar?” asked tbe man. -And the
river replied: “I need not shontalood,
my name ia known wide enough. Tbe
green meadows which-I water, and
tbe lofty trees upon my banka—these
tell who I am.”
The. man came afterwards to the
banks of Tigris liver. ItB waves
dashed along wildly and with clouds
of foam. “Hello, bow loud you are
shouting!" said tbe mao. "Ah,” said
tbe river, "roy shouting does not help
meat all. I still am praised like
other streams, however loudly I pro
claim t!>at I am something in the
world."
Tbe mao went further. He saw
trees with the oostiliest and moat
beautiful fruit They offered tbeir
fruits without s sound. Why stand
so still, good trees?" be asked. “Why
not rustle like your companions in
tbe wood ?” “We ore known,” they
replied,. ‘toy tbe fruit we bear, how
ever silent we are.” Soon tbe mao
oame to a wood whose trees towered,
to the skies, and whose empty crests
kept np a constant roar. “Why do
you mako such a uoise?” he asked.
“Ah,” they replied, “we have shunted
loud and lon^ hnd yet we are not
treated aa we deeerYe.”
“Now, I know,’’ said the man, “be
who praises himself amounts to noth
ing. Tbe meritorious require no self-
praise. That truth I will oot forget.’’
HE OBLIGED.
Detroit Free Free,.,
“Bay," oalled a man who whs driv
ing a horse and buggy in tbe interest
of a candidate, you vote in my ward
don’t yon ?”
“Yes,” replied tbe person addressed.
“Then get in, and 111 take yon to-
tbe polls."
“Oh, I guess not.”
“Goess notl Why, of coarse you
will.’”’
“But its two miles op there.”
“Don’t make any difference. Get
in here."
“I’d rather not” ' 4
“Won’t you do it to oblige me ?
Won’t you go to the polls as a special
favor to an old friend ?”
‘Why, yes, I suppose so, but—”
'No bote about it. I want you to
oblige me." - t »
After resetting tbe polling place the
driver got ont, bnt the other remain
ed in tbe buggy.
“Well, arn’t you going to vots?"
“Why, I yoiST tffis morning.”.
“You did!' Thep what on garth
did you come op here for ?” ,
"I didn’t want to, but you said so
much, und seemed so anxious, that I
felt it a sort of I'.n ready to
be driven back now.” .
Bnt he ^idn’t go in that buggy.
Every boy and young roan ehould
seek t> employ himself in regnlar
