Counting the Stare-
Thr ladder stood ’gainst the farm-house;
Underneath, o’er the window-8111,
There clambered a gorgeous rose-vine,
And It may be climbing still.
I thought In my childish fancy
To climb the ladder bars,
And. lying with eyes turned heavenw»rd,
I would try to count the stars.
tto I climbed the rungs of the ladder
And watched the setting sun,
While the stars peeped thro’ the ether
Like diadems, one by one.
And there In the evening twilight,
When the shadows began to fall,
I counted, and counted, and counted,
Rut never could count them all.
Bo down the rungs of the ladder
I eamc in a mute despair,
And still I was greatly wondering
How many stars were there,—
When a voice came thro’ the darkness
And sweetly spake to ine—
“Little maid, your brain is puzzled,
How many stars there be;
“The hairs of your head are numbered,
And measured the sands of the sea ;
God tells the stars by multitudes,
And that Is enough for thee.”
Long years have passed since childhood,
And over the window-sill
The rose-vine has clambered higher,
And it may be climbing still.
The rungs of the dear old ladder
Have fallen*to left and right;
Bad changes have come to the homestead
Since I watched the stars that night.
And that voice that came thro’ the darkness
Forever is hushed and still,
In the graveyard on the hillside
Nearby to a sparkling rill.
Afar from the home of my childhood
' This vision oft coin* s to me,
Though voice and rose-vine and ladder
Are things of memory.
And I’m climbing a loftier ladder,
But tlnd as 1 mount the bars,
That to try and count God’s mercies
Is much more than to count the stars;
For faith is the ladder I’m climbing—
It stands by my wayside; even
Though the end may rest upon earth,
The top is leant against heaven.
A LARGE STOCK IN,

NEW GOODS ARRIVING CONSTANTLY!

Struck a Bonanza.
Rome Tribune, 3d inst.
Yesterday a Tribune reporter walked
up from the East Rome depot with Air.
J. K. Smith, who lives at Palmetto, and
who is well known in this city. Mr.
Smith had slung over his shou.der a
two-bushel sack, and from the way he
bent his broad back under the load it
was evident that what was in the bag
was very weighty, for from appearance
the quantity was small.
Mr. Smith bewailed, between grunts,
the slowness of the street cars in their
trips to the depot, and as he was in a
hurry, lie couldn’t wait for one of
them.
“You seem to have something pretty
heavy in that sack?” interrogatively
suggested the reporter to Air. Smith.
“Should— (puff) — say —(blow) — I —
(grunt)—had. Got a whole quarry of
marble on my back. Just discovered
about 900 acres of it on mv Gordon
county land, and am taking these spec
imens to AY. T. Jones’ marble works to
have them polished.”
Air. Smith showed the reporter the
specimens, and to his geological eye
t hey were as tine specimens of marble
as there is in Georgia. The gentleman
accidently discovered the quarry and
will work it for all it is worth. It is
within fifty yards of the East Tennes
see track, near Skelley Station.
Cotton Crop Estimates.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Bradstreet’s comes into the field
with still another estimate of the cot
ton crop, placing the produccion at <»,-
480,00. This gives four estimates—
those of the Cotton World, Agricultu
ral Bureau. Bradstreet’s and the Lir-
erpool Statistician—running front (3,250 -
000 to 0,700,00 bales. AVe had hoped
that, the Southern producers of cotton
would escape being made shuttlecocks
between contradictory estimates like
these, and that the science of crop es
timating had reached such a stage that
the figures could be definitely unci ae-
cunuely determined. It seems, how-
ever, that this is not the case just vet,
and the reports continue conflicting
and demoralizing.
The figures of the Cotton B oral have
beeu strongly verified in the past, and for
thb reason we have given it due credit.
AA’ould it not be well to preserve the
estimates of the crop now made, and
when the final returns come in and the
number of bales raised are accurately
determined, then point out wince are
correct and proper estimates and winch
false anil erroneous ones, so that the
farmers.will not be deceived m the fu
ture bv unskillful statisticians or made
the victims of bear or bull movements i
The difference of opinion over the crop
lias caused each statistician who has
| considered the subject to be extra care-
! ful in his estimates; and he ought to
! accept, the result as determining Ins
lability. If he is mistaken now, and
wide of the mark, his estimates in fu
ture should receive no credence or at
tention. AA e say this that the mete
i empvries in crop estimates may be driv-
I en from the field and no longer confuse
j the farmers with their fa be and mis-
' leading figures.

The Foster Car-Coupler.
fThe following verses were written by Miss
Jensie Foster, the 15-year-old daughter ot
Mr 1 G. W. Foster, and, considering her
youth, it may he styled a very creditable pro
duction:
This famous coupler now on hand—
The invention of a friend—
The grandest work that s in the laud,
To each nation we’ll send.
Our car-coupler stock we will sell
To all who wish to buy—
To old man, or to winsome belle.
Or youth with flashing eye.
This magic coupler here for sale,
S.-e!- works as if by charm!
Why. at n. should wounds and.death pvc\ail
\V , •) ii.a cau do no harm ?
The best time to buy goods is Avhen you have an opportuni
ty to get them cheap, and the only safe assurance that you
are getting them cheap is when you buy from those who deal
exclusively A\ T ith manufacturers. We deal only with the lar
gest manufacturers, importers and jobbers, and possess ad
vantages that can only be appreciated by those who take the
trouble to compare our prices with the prices charged by oth
er dealers. We say this in no spirit of boastfulness, but sim
ply to let the people know that we have firms in Newnan
that enjoy precisely the same facilities for buying that the
Atlanta merchants do, and the fact that our expenses are
from twenty to thirty per cent, less is too apparent to require
mention here.
In addition to a heavy line of GROCERIES, Ave have
now in store a choice stock of DRV GOODS, CLOTH
ING, BOOTS, SHOES, etc., including everything kept in a
strictly first-class establishment. Our “Bay State Shoe” con
tinues to lead the town, in style, finish and general superiori
ty. Our stock of Clothing is complete and handsome, and
comprises all the late styles, figures and shades.
In fact, Ave have everything, and are determined not to be
undersold. .Suppose you come and see for yourselves. We
should be glad to have you call around anyway, even if you
do not Avish to buy. Seats free; no charge for looking.

THE LEAST MONEY
IS AT
J. R. HERRING’S!
I lay down the broad proposition that I can sell, and am
actually selling, goods cheaper than any house in town, and
am prepared to sustain this proposition with irrefragable proof.
Observe the following, as a starter—
Will sell all-wool Jeans for 30c. per yard.
Ten cents is all I ask for the best Dress Gingham.
Dress Checks at 7 1-2 cents.
There is no such bargain in town as my 50c. reinforced lin
en bosom Shirt.
Mv stock of Gent’s Furnishing Goods can’t be beat, either
for style or selectness.
. CLOTHING.
I am somewhat overstocked on Clothing and am determin
ed to unload. Am now selling good, stylish suits 15 per cent,
lower than any house in town. It looks ruinous, but time
flies, and I don’t propose to let the season fly away and leave
me with piles and piles of winter clothing on hand. Not if I
can help it. Overcoats are going the same way.
SHOES.
I have the best assortment of Mens’, Ladies’ and Children’s
Shoes in town, both in fine and low grades. Everything
down. Will sell a tip-top Shoe for $2.50 that has never sold
for less than $2.75 heretofore. A splendid Brogan Shoe
for $1.15. Every pair of Frank D. Weyldman’s fine Shoes
sold upon an absolute guarantee.
An attractive assortment of Hats, all shapes, shades, sizes
and prices.
I have the goods and are bound to sell them. Don’t forget
this when you make up your mind to buy. It means a great
deal.
GROCERIES.
Am selling Flour lower than anybody. For the present I
can quote different grades as follows: Good, $4.50 per bar
rel: Fine. $5.00; Better, $5.50: Best, $6.00. In fact, I have
everything in the Grocery line, and am selling at rock bot
tom prices.
I am not trying 10 excite your curiosity, merely; am'anx
ious to do you good.
He that poin.lv.vrii these facts will surely be profited. Try
