Elbert Revell, Berry [For Thk Herald and Advertiser.] 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, AND NEW GOODS ARRIVING CONSTANTLY! PRICES LOW, AND GOING LOWER 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. (Rv request.1 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.
