ESTRANGED.
A barrier hath rl«en between
Thy heart and mine, O friend, I ween-
Cruel and strong, though all unseen!
We made that barrier, thou and I,
And strengthened it as days went by;
Ah; me! I scarce know how or why!
Mayhap some promise made and broken,
Some word unkind, though lightly spoken;
Then, hearts that grieved but gave no token.
Farewell! O loyal heart and true.
How wouldst thou pity if thou knew
The mazes that I wander through.
As wider, wider, every day,
Our paths diverge—O friend, I pray
That thitse may be the sunnier way!
I in my lone lot scarce eould pine
While thou wert. qnafllng life’s red wine,
E’en though its bitterest cup was mine!
We are having good rains to-day—the
first since the 8th inst. Cotton had be
gun to suffer considerably.
Prof. “Ripples” closed a very inter
esting music school in this community
last Sunday. He had a good class and
advanced them far beyond their expec
tations in the art of music. We learn
he will be called upon to take charge
of more and larger classes at an early
day. “Ripples” has a host of friends in
Carroll that are always glad to welcome
him to their hearts and homes when he
finds it convenient to come over. He
was accompanied last week by his beau
tiful and accomplished daughter, Miss
Rena, and it was our happy lot to have
the pleasure of a call from them during
their visit. Buffalo Bill.

BELATED CORRESPONDENCE.
fl(#>r, or staggered about it, all night
long, scarcely able to bear any noises
or even human speech. My temper
was extremely irritable. As to food,
one of my little children would eat
more in a meal than T could m a day.
I would order food and then turn from
it in -disgust. I lived on quinine and
other stimulants and on myself, like a
bear in winter. The quinine set my
head in a whirl, and the liquor—given
as a medicine—made my stomach so
sick I could not tolerate it.
From 175 pounds (my proper weight]
I ran down to 97 pounds—the weight
of a light girl—and was scarcely better
than a skeleton. . , . , .
If anybody had taken a hatchet and
knocked me down and killed me I should
have been better off. , ,. . ,
During the latter part of this period,
early in 1886, my physician said:
“Miller, there’s no use . in my taking
nore money of you; I can t do you
A Model Farmer.
Mr. Editor:—I am profoundly grate
ful for the nature or construction of
my mind. I am thankful for my intel
lect, with its wonderful capacity to
think; for every thought is a miracle.
No human power can understand how
an immaterial thought can be pro
duced by material organism.
I am thankful for niy reason. It is
the spark of divinity within me—the
light of heaven, and brought down to
earth only to return again.
I am thankful for my conscience. It
is my divinely appointed pilot or gov
ernor, to guide my erring feet aright in
this treacherous vale below.
But even all these would be deficient
without the grace-and-pleasure-adding
faculties of my memory and imagina
tion. It is upon these two that I rely
to give you a picture of a farm,' and the
sketch of a farmer whose home I was
accustomed to pass while attending to
my farm duties in Coweta the past spring
and summer.
About three miles from Turin, on
the Turin and Fayetteville road, there
lives Mr. Drewry Summers. His place
lies upon the right-band side, going.
The house is a neat two-story, eight-
room dwelling; and what adds to its
attractiveness is the fact that he built
it, mostly, himself. lie did not finish
it in a day, nor a year; but by steady
licks, showered in at odd times. In
front is a neat, well-kept oak grove
On the right of the dwelling is a fresh,
fertile field, well terraced, manured
and cultivated, and containing as fine
cotton as you will find in the country.
On the left is a field of equal attrac
tiveness, planted in corn. The corn is
checked, and every hill has a stalk, and
every stalk has from one to two good
ears. Between this field and the house
is a fine orchard of three or four acres.
It would seem that the very fruit trees
had partaken somewhat of the nature
of the man; for every tree is thrifty
and of perfect shape. Fifteen or twen
ty bee-hives are located in front of this
orchard, all looking clean, and occupied
“industrious little workers.”
“ Ripples.”
Mr. Editor:—On my return home
from Carroll county last Monday I was
deeply grieved to hear of the death of
Mrs. Alice Camp. I had known her
from childhood, having lived neighbor
to her father for several years. We re
garded her almost as one of our family.
She was a perfect woman, in all that
pertains to character and disposition.
She was greatly beloved by all who
knew hen The bereaved family have
the sympathies of the entire communi
ty in their affliction, but they should
comfort themselves with the thought
that they may see sweet Alice again,
arrayed in garments of living light.
Mhe now walks through plains of light,
Where endless day excludes the night;
There crowns of glory she now wears,
And palms of vlotory ever bears,
And all the Joys of heaven shares;-
Will you go there, too ?
t for c
And they stand as fit emblems of the
[all i
industrious and thrifty home to which
I teel
they belong.

Near at band is a blacksmith shop,

Now comes the strange character
istic of this farm. There is no negro
house on it. And no negro is needed to
shadow the soil with his dusky pres
ence. Th is man does his own work!
lie hires no help. He plants about
twenty acres, only;—eight or ten in
corn, six or seven in cotton, and the
balance in potatoes, peas, melons, etc.
The result is, he owes no man anything
and always has money in his pocket to
buy what lie needs.
With his own hands he went into the
woods, felled the trees, built the houses,
and brought his farm up to its present
high state of cultivation. Alone he
struggled with Nature; with slow but
sure progress, inch by inch, he became
the master, and old Mother Earth
yielded to her industrious son her
richest resources!
I like to think of this man, because
he is a type of what our forefathers
ivere—and had to be, from necessity.
We young people, who have grown up
to find this country cleared, houses
built, and all improvements made ready
for our use, little appreciate the labor
and self-sacrifices that were required of
the first, settlers of this country.
All honor to these noble pioneers ! I
like to think of them, in their struggles
and privations, in their battles, hand to
hand, with Nature! Our old men
should often tell the rising generation
of ‘Those days,” and our young men
should cherish these old legends for all
time. Old Fogi .

My heart was made sad when I read
the announcement that Cousin Susan
Luckie was no more. Mine eyes were
made to weep and my heart to mourn
with exceeding sorrow. One by one
the brightest and best of earth are
passing away, and soon the places that
know us now will know us no more
forever. Death lurks in every passing
breeze and there is no health in us. To
the heartbroken and sorrowing hus
band and other relatives I extend sin
cere condolence; but would suggest
that they sorrow not as those who have
no hope.
I had a good time at the close of my
singing school in Carroll. Everybody
cried, and I cried, too. I have agreed
to teach a 12-day normal school near
Roopville, commencing about the 15th
of October. The school is designed for
the benefit of advanced scholars and
teachers. Terms, $2 per scholar.
I am opposed to making people swear
in order to get a little whiskey. If
liquor is needed for medical purposes it
ought to be had without requiring
the applicant to make affidavit to
the bodily infirmities it is intended
to relieve.
Mr. Jim “Ripples” has been quite
sick, but is better at this writing.
I haven’t yet had time to inspect the
bill proposing the sale of the State
Road, and hope it will not be passed
until I get a little leisure to look into
the matter. I think four-fifths of the
counties in the State held public meet
ings last year and made their nominees
for the Legislature pledge themselves
not to vote for the sale of the road;
and Governor Gordon declared on' ev
ery stump in Georgia that if such a bill
were passed he would veto it. 'Wise or
unwise, if I were in the Legislature I
would introduce a bill relegating to Ins
constituency any member who propos
ed such a measure, on the ground of
incompetency or lunacy. Anybody can
see that if the road would pay individ
ual companies it ought to be made
profitable to the State. Ripples.

h On 5 the strength of this I gave up the
use of quinine altogether, and made up
my mind to do nothing more and take
mv chances. . . . .,
Three weeks afterwards—about the
last of May—my wife saw an advertise
ment of Kaskine in a New York paper.
She told me of it. I said: “Stuff and
nonsense ! it ■ can’t do roe any good.
But she went to a druggist’s, neverthe
less, to get it. The druggist advised
her against Kaskine; he said it was
nothing but sugar; that she ought not
to throw away her rooiiey on it, etc.
He said he didn’t keep it, but could get
it if she insisted on navin" it. Turn
ing awav in disgust my wife spoke to
our neighbor, Mr. A. G. Hegewald,
who got her a bottle at a drug store in
Sixth avenue.
Almost against my will, and without
the least faith, I began taking it. In
one week I was better. I began to
sleep. I stopped “seeing ghosts. I
began to have an appetite and to gam
strength. This was now the first of
June, 1886, and by the end of .that
month I was back at my bench at C. Jr.
Smith’s scroll sawing factory on 116th
street, where I work now.
Since then I have never lost a day
from sickness. Taking Kaskine only,
about forty pellets in four eoual doses
a day, I continued to gain. The mala
ria appeared to be killed in my system,
and now I’ve got back my old weight—
175 pounds—and my old strength™ la
bor. I am an astonishment to myself
and fo my friends, and if Kaskinedul
not do this I don’t know what did. The
only greater thing it could do would be
to bring a dead man to life.

Mr. John Renshaw, 124 125th street,

letters of inquiry. .
We submit that the above astonish
ing cure, vouched for as it is by reputa
ble men, is deserving of a thorough <jnd
candid investigation by thinking peo

druggists turn away customers by fal
sifying the character of a remedy be
cause they do not happen to have it on
hand, tliev do a great wrong. If this
afflicted man had not disregarded the
druggist’s advice and sent elsewhere
for the remedy he would without
doubt have been in his grave.

from prominent individuals, which
stamp Kaskine as a remedy of un
doubted merit, will be sent on appli

Mr. Editor:—Having been an appre
ciative reader of your paper for a num
ber of years, and having been born and
raised in Coweta county, I feel a great
attachment for your paper and your
people.
News is scarce. Crops are still \er>
good, except on water courses, where
they were drowned out by the late over
flow Sickness, of one kind and another,
is becoming very prevalent on such
streams, and fears are entertained of
serious results.
J B. Wilks, the Farmers’ Alliance or
ganizer, is busy among our farmers, and
we believe and hope that his work will
result in much good; for there is no
class that needs -to-organizo .and puU-j
together more than the farmers.
A Sick Man’s Wife Disregards the Drug
gist’s Advice and So Saves the
Life of Her Husband.
I am a wood carver by trade and it is
out of mv line to write letters; but my
wife thought it was no more than right
that I should let you know what your
remedy lias done for me, and I think so
too.
I live in East 157tli street, west of
Third avenue, and have lived there for
about twentv-tliree years, where I own
real estate. Up to the time I am about
to mention I had been a strong, well
man. There was always more or less
malaria in the neighborhood, but I had
not personally suffered from it. It was
in 1880 I had my first attack. It can e
on as such attacks commonly do, with
headaches, loss of appetite and ambi
tion, chilly sensations with slight fever
afterwards, a disposition to yawn and
stretch, and so forth. I was employed
at that time at Killians & Brothers,
furniture manufacturers, in West 32d
street. I hoped the attack would wear
off. but as it didn’t I consulted a well-
known and able physician in Morrisa-
nia, who gave me quinine and told me
wliat to do. I can sum up the first four
and a half or five years of my experi
ence in few words. Occasionally I was
laid up for a day or two, but on the
whole I stuck to my work. I kept
taking quinine, in larger doses from
vear to year, and kept on getting weak
er and worse, slowly but surely, all the
time. My trouble was now well de
fined and*its symptoms were steady and
regular. I ha*d dumb ague in its worst
form, and it was "rinding me down in
spite of all that I could do or the doc
tors could do. It held me in a grip KAe
fire in a burning coal mine. The poison
had gone all through and over me and.
nothing was able to touch it. I was
fast losing flesh and strength, and about
March, 1884, I knocked on work entire
ly and went home to be down sick, and
to die for all I could tell. I ran down so
rapidly that I soon became unable to
walk any distance. Later I went from
room to room in my own house only by
friends holding me up by each arm. The
doses of quinine were increased until I
often took thirty grains at a dose. The
effects of this tremendous stimulation
•warttMuake me nearly' wild. It bfoke
