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. Aug. 23d. 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. klayj Near at band is a blacksmith shop, Ber i with a full set of tools, in which Mr. S. Br.ir does all his work, as well as that of B.iap his neighbors. All the outhouses are B up commodious and well-constructed. i 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 . Athens, Ga. 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. Aug. 23d. A DRUGGIST’S MISTAKE. J I Cl b CLOCKS!

I might pour pounds of qui nine down your throat and it wouldn t 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. Frederick A.

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.
