they come.

Well, Brother Brown, Jersey is a
very nice village, inhabited by a class
of Georgia’s very best citizens. < )xford
College is about eight miles from here,
Social Circle six, and Covington ten.
So, you see, these people have had ad
vantages of good schools. Reagan In
stitute here is in a flourishing condi
tion. Our farmers are, as far as I can
learn, out of debt and have money to
pay for the necessities of life. Some
have money to loan. Everything here
speaks thrift, enterprise and prosperity.
Every one attends to his own business
and gives his neighbor the same privi
lege. Whenever they have pains, or
aches, or ring-worms, or tetter, they
just procure a bottle of Beadles’ Cele
brated Prussian Pain Cure, and go on
their way rejoicing.
Mr. Editor, I am glad my lot has
been cast in such a pleasant place, but
I love old Newnan. No place will ever
be home to me, save it. The ties of
childhood and youth are there, never
to be erased. The memory of loved
ones, whose'bodies lie in the old church
yard, clings with sweet tendrils around
my heart, and the dear friends, whose
cheering words have given me hope and
encouragment, shall never be forgotten
while memory clings to heart below.
May our kind Heavenly Father bless
them, every one.
I was so sorry to read, in your col
umns, of the death of Hill Camp. May
the glorious Sun of Righteousness,with
his radiant beams of love, burst in up
on the sadly bereaved hearts of the
family, with all his holy beauty and
splendor from behind this cloud of af
fliction, giving to each the full conso
lation of Faith that lifts our eyes to
the world beyond, where there will be
a grand reunion of that family Abra
ham saw in the desert and whose holy
beauty he saw shining in the stars of
heaven.

session, and then draw it in a lump.
John II. Ketcham, William L. Scott,
Adams, of Chicago, and Willkins, of
Ohio, invariably do this. Mr. Randall,
who has nothing but his salary to live
on, usually draws down to his margin.
In the Senate, the practice is similar.
Mr. C’ullom, who is a poor man, draws
his salary at the end of each month.
Mr. Edmunds generally leaves his until
the end of the quarter and takes three
months’ wages at a time. Mr. Sherman
is one of the monthly payment Sena
tors. but Mr. Payne leaves his on de
posit until he happens to need money,
and then sends a page to the Clerk’s of
fice to have a check made out for all that
is due him. Mr. Hale has a similar
habit. William Maxwell Everts gives
checks against his salary to the real es
tate agent from whom he rents his
house, and it takes it all. Don Camer
on is very careless about his salary, and
never seems to know how much is due
him. He lets the money accumulate
for seveal months, and then, when he
wants funds, makes a check regardless
of the amount due him. Mr. Stanford
generally leaves it all until just before
he leaves Washington. When he ar
rives for the winter he always deposits
£50,000 to the credit of his wife at the
bank of Riggs A Co., and that carries
the family through the session.

press, without regard to politics, gave
him a raking over that he will not j
speedily forget.
Not since the days of Martha M ash-!
ington has the wife of a President been j
such a universal favorite, andherpopu- j
larity is not confined to the men. !She j
is a favorite with women. Her beauty, {
grace and charming manner captivate
all who come into contact ivith her.
A cursory glance over the papers of
any date will reveal some pleasant allu
sion to her. Here is a Washington lady,
writing to a New York friend about
her success in social circles, and a Re
publican politician gives it as his opin
ion that she is becoming a potent fac
tor in the country’s politics. Her in
fluence, it seems, has also boomed the
real estate and the matrimonial market.
The little town of Marian, Mass.,
where she spent a few weeks last sum
mer, is now more prosperous than it
ever was, on account of her visit, and
while the residents do not exactly wor
ship the ground she walked on, they
value it much higher than they did.
The young ladies who visit hex’, it is as
serted, marry or become engaged soon
after doing so. It has been noticed
that Washington has lately enjoyed an
epidemic df marriages, and now the
cause is explained. It may be stated,
however, that Mrs. Cleveland’s influ
ence had nothing to do with the runa
way matches that have not turned out
well.
The President has rightly been called
a lucky man. When Prof. Proctor
questioned the existence of luck, he
probably did not have him in mind.
Ilis greatest luck was in securing Mrs.
Cleveland for a wife. She seems to be
a genuine “mascot.”

Mr. Editor:—I will again try, with

The continued rains of the past- few
weeks have thrown farmers considera

the raina continue much longer, they

President Sim. Whatley visited
Sharpsburg Friday, talking Alliance to
the people of that place. Success to
you, Sim. May you live long and have
an abundant harvest in the grand work.
Right here, I would like very much to
make a few remarks on the subject of
the Alliance. Do you not know, farm-
era, that you are the aupport and back
bone of the world ? Why, then, not
organize and come together, and stop
being oppressed by the moneyed men
of this country ? Why not the farmers
combine as well as the merchants , J

Your Own Hand on The Plow.
Mr. R , a large planter in Ala
bama, was so successful in his cultiva
tion of cotton as to excite universal
attention throughout the South. Cer
tain wealthy gentlemen wrote to him
several years ago, asking permission to
send their sons.to his plantation, “to
be placed under his tuition and to study
his methods.” A few days later seven
or eight young hidalgos arrived, deli
cate, refined youths, carefully dressed,
gloved and ringed.
“Gentlemen,” said the planter, after
welcoming them, “you have come to
learn how to raise cotton, so that you
will never have a failure in your
crops?”
“Yes.”
“It is my theory that no man can in
telligently direct his servants to do
work which he has never done himself.
You can never learn to raise cotton on
horseback. I will teach you my meth
ods, but the first step must be flannel
shirts and your own habds on the plow.
If you are not willing to do this, you
had better return to Mexico.”
The young men looked at each other
in dismay. But the next morning they
presented themselves cheerfully in the
held ready for work, and set to plow
ing with a will. They followed as ac
tual laborers every step in the cultiva
tion of the cotton, from its planting,
until it was ready for market. They re
mained with Mr. B. two years, at the
end of which time they returned to
Mexico, and are now the most success
ful growers of cotton in that section.
They are all firm friends of Mr. B.
“He has the secret of success,” one of
them said lately. “No matter what a
man’s business may be, lie must learn
j it in detail'before be can control it.
Didn’t Know He Was President.
Lakeview (Ore.) Examiner,
When Charles Crocker was at Port
land on his spike-driving tour over tha
California and Oregon, an incident oc-
curred which is illustrative of the be
wildering magnitude of the railway in
terests of that gentleman. He received
a call at the Esmond House from the
general manager of the Oregonian
railway, a little narrow-guage formerly
under the control of a Scotch company.
Mr. Crocker regarded the visit as pure
ly complimentary, but when the gen-
eral manager began to talk about tha
prospects of his line, the needs of
repairs at certain points,'and gave the
magnate assurance that it was a fairly
prosperous concern, Mi*. Crocker’s
mind became cloudy. He clearly did
not know what the man was driving
at. Still the official went on until he
was interrupted by a friend who hap
pened to be preseut, and wno said :
“Mr. Crocker doesn’t know what all
this means.”
“Oh, 1 guess he does,” said the gen
eral manager, with a confident air. “I
guess he knows that he is pi-esident of
this road.”
“But I’m if he did,” said Mr.
Crocker, “until you said so tlxis mo
ment.”
The incident created a ripple of mer
riment among the railroad men who
happened to be present, and some of
the Portland magnates who heard the
story thought a good deal less of their
railroad interests when they reflected
on the fact that here was a man who
was president of a railroad and knew
nothing of it.

She Would Take Care of It.
The St. Louis Critic relates the fol
lowing true story of one of the most
effective rebukes that mild and lovely
woman ever administered to vain and
lordly man : Two young matrons
were in a horse car. “Well.” said one of
them, “I wish Charley wouldn’t act as
if he thought that—that—because it is
my first baby I didn’t knowhow to take
care of it. He never interfered so with
anything before. Rut now, when he
is starting off in the morning, he be
gins : ‘I wouldn’t take the baby out
if it turns cold ; don’t put that woolen
veil over her eyes again ;’ and ‘you
had better try the water in the bath
tub before you put her in,’ and so on,
and so on.” “Yes, I know,” rejoined
the elder lady, philosophically, “they
all do so until the novelty wears off. I
stood it as long as I coulc^ with Harold,
but one day when he was struggling
into his overcoat and leaving number
less charges about baby’s food and
flannels and wrappings, I said very
sweetly and dutifully : ‘You may rest
easy, dear, while you are in town at

The Most Interesting Age.
j Boston Transcript.
; “What is the most interesting age of
woman'?” was a question recently dis
cussed by an artist, an author and a
woman of society. The author said he
did not like to paint the portraits of
those between the age of twenty-five
and forty years. Before twenty-five
the face has an expectancy which
charms. It is looking forward with
joyous freshness and hope and is full
of puzzling promises. At forty ygars
the character is formed and the lines of
the countenance are strong for the
painter’s study; in intervening years the
face has lost its expectancy, is apt to be
indifferent and lias no particular inter
est. The author differed from the artist.
He liked to study women between the
ages of thirty and forty. They had
then the experience of the world and
■ the joyousness of youth. In those
years they were briglitest and most in
teresting. The society woman thought
; that it was impossible to make general
answers to the question, as individual
women differ in regard to the most at
tractive age. Some are most charming
I at sixty years, while others have passed
| their prime at twenty. The best an-
S swer would be that women are always
■ beautiful to the friends who love them.
