BELATED CORRESPONDENCE.

Mr. Editor:—Fodder saved all right,
and lots of it. The overflowed sec
tions in these parts are not so much in
jured as at first thought to be. People
who have worked will make a great
deal of com, peas, potatoes and cotton,
Those who did not work have been
graciously supplied with a crop any
how, by the provident rains—a crop of
hay, which is of no mean value in this
country.
The schools in these parts are begin
ning to feel the effect of the cotton
crops. Behold the little urchin, go
ing forth to pick the cotton!
The protracted meeting at Line
Creek still hangs fire, and up to this
writing Rev. L. P. Hudson has received
fifteen into the church—five by letter
and ten for baptism—and still they come
In crowds to the altar. This is the big
gest meeting we have heard of this
year.
Mr. Jim Johnson, of' Fayette, lost a
fine mule on the 29th inst.
Mrs. McCollough, who was stricken
with paralysis on the night of the 28th
inst., is doing very well now.
The work on Mr. Joe Wynn’s gin and
mill goes on at a rapid rate. ,
Mr. Glenn B. Wynn took a flying
trip to Jonesboro last week, and came
back delighted and all ablaze to try it
over and stay longer. We hope they
will handle him tenderly.
Rev, Mr. Costley, of the Protestant
Methodist church, filled the pulpit at
Line Creek on the 30th, and also at
night, to the great delight and edifica
tion of all present. He is a good man
and an able preacher. “R. A. T.
preached for us to-day, in his usual
good style of ministering the word.
Dr. Jim Ware, his nephew Mr. Hen
ry Ware, his niece Miss Annie, the
beautiful and accomplished daughter
of Capt. Obe 'iVynn, are visiting the
Salt Springs, and will go thence to
Powder Springs ere they return
home. We wish them all the pleasure
their hearts can anticipate.
Miss Fannie Brown, daughter of Mr.
James Brown, of Fayette county, was
married last Sunday, 28th inst., to Mr.
Phillip Nowles, of the same county.
We tender congratulations to the hap
py pair.
Now answer: If a man is under con
tract with the. State to do a certain
work for the State and is engaged in
the performance of that work in the
execution of said contract, can an offi
cer of the State (or agent) cause him to
eave off the contract already made
d engaged in to do softie other work ?
i, does he lose his time from his
contract? What would be public
in such a case ?
w, Mr. Editor, we do not say it to
you, but you certainly have the
unty paper weaver read. Go on,
heaven bless your efforts. You have
needed right there for a long time.

good .as usual—so they say.

The Exact Figures.
Mr. Editor:—You had something to
say in your paper last week concerning
the number of cotton bolls per stalk
required to make a bale of cot
ton. That depends very much upon
the width of the rows, and the distance
apart of the stalks in the rows. It is
generally calculated that stalks stand
about one foot apart, which is very er
roneous—that is to say, ten stalks in
every ten feet. It is a very hard mat
ter to get cotton to a stand of one stalk
to the foot, and unless two stalks are
sometimes allowed to stand in a hill it
would be very difficult to get an aver
age of one stalk to the foot. The bet
ter way would be to count the average
number of bolls per foot instead of per
stalk; because you can more readily
determine the average, either in the
case of a thick or thin stand.
In one acre there are 4,840 square
yards; so, if it is laid off in 3-foot rows
there would be 4,840 running yards, or
14,520 running feet. Allowing one boll
to each running foot, there would be
1451-5 pounds to the acre. Counting
100 bolls to the pound and 5 bolls to
each running foot, there would be 726
pounds to the .acre. In 3£-foot rows
there would be 12,600 running feet, and
1 boll per foot would make 126 pounds
per acre; 5 bolls per foot would make
630 pounds per acre. In 4-foot rows
there would be 10,922 running feet, and
1 boll per foot would make 109 pounds
per acre; 5 bolls per stalk would make
545 pounds per acre; 10 bolls per stalk
would make 1,090 pounds. Therefore,
in order to make a sure test, take a 10-
foot rod and measure the rows in sever
al places—both in the thin and thicker
stands, and in the sorry and better cot
ton. Take the number of bolls in each
measurement, add them together, strike
the average, and the yield will be very
nearly approximated. Occasional.
IN MEMORIAM.
Springer.—At Whitesburg, Ga., on
the 14th of August, 1887, Robert H.
Springer, son of the late Hon. William
G. Springer, of Carroll county, in the
58th year of his. age.
Mr. Springer leaves a wife and family
of children to mourn what is truly, to
them, an irreparable loss. An affec
tionate husband, a kind and indulgent
father, a true friend and a good citizen
has gone to join the innumerable host
gathered in by the great reaper, Death.
But those who knew and loved him
best, mourn not as those who have no
hope. For he often spoke of death and
assured his loved ones it had no terrors
for him apart from the grief he felt at
leaving his loved and helpless ones.
But he died feeling that he could leave
them with the full assurance that the
Father of the fatherless and the
widow’s Husband would be with them.
His disease, consumption, with all its
attendant train of discomforts and pain,
was borne with great patience and for
titude, assisting those whose privilege
it was to wait upon him all he could,
and receiving their attentions with so
much gratitude and thankfulness that
what is so often a task became a pleas-
*e.
Of his father’s family but one remains
his sister, Mrs. Mabry, of Brownwood.
She visited him in his illness and is glad
to add her testimony to that of those
more frequently with him as to his pa
tience and peace of mind while so near
the dark valley.
He was buried where he was born,
and where he had lived all his life, at
Rotherwood, Carroll county. He had
removed to Whitesburg only a short
time before his death, to be near his
physicians.
He is gone where we hope and believe
it will never more be said, “I am sick.”
Let it be the constant endeavor of those
who survive him to live so that when
they, too, are called hence, they may
be re-united with him, never more to
part, in the beautiful land of the blest.
S. B. M.
Camp.—“In the midst of life we are
in death.” Only a few days ago Mrs.
Alice Camp was in the bloom of glori
ous womanhood; to-day her body sleeps
in the cold and silent grave. She de
parted this life August 18th, 1SS7.
Though her sojourn among us was of
short duration, yet she won for herself
the esteem and confidence of all*who
knew her. The loss of her will not
only be felt in the community, but in
the Sabbath-school, where she was ever
willing to do whatever her hands found
to do. She seemed always anxious to
•promote the cause of truth and right.
And though we deeply mourn her de
parture from this world, yet from the
life she lived and from the death she
died, we have every reason to believe
she has gone to reap her reward in that
bright and happy home prepared for
all who love and serve the Lord.
“Dearest sister, thou hast left us;
Here thy loss we deeply feel;—
But ’tis God that has bereft us—
He can all our sorrows heal.”
Be it therefore resolved—
1. That we, as a Sunday-school,
humbly submit to the null of Him
who doeth all things wisely and
well, and that we tender to the
bereaved ones our heartfelt sympa
thy in this their sad affliction.
2. That we highly appreciate her
labor of love in our midst, which came
all, whose illness has been ; like a passing cloud fraught with dia-
3. That this memorial be spread
upon the record book of our Sunday-
school.

The other night a landlord, discover
ing one of his customers who was
drunk, “sloshing about” in the mire,
went to his assistance, and setting him
upon his feet, inquired if he was sick,
or what was the matter. “No,” replied
the boozy customer, “I ain’t sick, nor I
ain’t drunk—but I’m mightily discour
aged.”
They started to have a camp-meeting
at Shorter’s Falls, Iowa, last week, and
had just got nicely settled when a cou
ple of polecats came along and broke
the camp up inside of an hour. There
are some things that even enthusiastic
religion can’t excuse and put up with.
There is a town in Scotland where
twenty-two men have refused to speak
to or recognize each other for years,
because they have different theories
about the creation of the world, and
none of them will give up to the other.
What more precious offering can be
laid upon the altar of man’s heait
than the first love of a pure, earnest
and affectionate girl, with an undi
vided interest in eight corner lots, and
fourteen three-story houses?
A little girl wanted more buttered
toast, but was told that, she’d had
enough, and that more would make
her sick. “Well,” said she, “give me
annuzzer piece, and send for the doc
tor.”
“I wish you would pay a little atten
tion to what I am saying, sir !” roared
a lawyer to an exasperated witness. “I
am paying as little as I can,” was the
calm reply.
A hen is a very superior creature, but
she never could lay a corner-stone.

In Brief, and to the Point.
Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is one
of the most complicated and wonderful
things in existence. It is easily put out
of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits, and many other things
which ought not tQ be, have made the
American people a nation of dyspeptics.
But Green’s August Flower has done
a wonderful work in reforming this sad
business and making the American peo
ple so healthy that they can enjoy their
meals and be happy.
Remember:—No happiness without
health. But Green’s August Flower
brings health and happiness to the dys
peptic. Ask your druggist for a bottle.
