THE OLD-FASHIONED HAIR.
MARflAltKT AXOKEVi’S OLDHAM.
Oh, the old-fashioned hair of the sweet long
ago
Is the kind I shall always love host.
And the faces it framed with Its beautiful
grace
Of thedear ones long since gone to rest,.
There were tresses, and ringlets, and long
braided locks,
There were beautiful, bonnle. bright curls.
And high combs, and side-combs, and fair
shining coils,
That were worn by the old-fashioned girls.
1 remember the roach that my grandfather
wore,
Brushed back from his broad, honest brow,
With an elegant, easy simplicity, which,
Though I look for, I never see now.
And my grandmother’s hair—snowy white,
hid away
’Neath a head-dress of dainty white lace,
Curving down from her brow in it smooth sil
ver band,
Framed a queenly and beautiful face.
As the proud, noble face of my great uncle
George
Looks down from the canvas on me,
With the “old timey” stock and the fine pow
dered wig—-
’Tis as handsome and grand as can be.
But the dearest and loveliest hair in the world
Is my mother’s soft, beautiful brown,
With a touch of 1 lie gold, and glint of t he sun,
And away to her knees falling down.
And it tells its own story of womanly grace,
And the o’d-fashioned modesty, too,
Of that s.veet, indescribable beauty of soul,
And the mother’s love, tender and true.
For the angel that painted the rainbow could
find
Net a tint so exquisite and rare!
Oh, the wealth ol luxurious, rippling waves
Of my mother’s brown, beautiful hair!
Ho I honor the hair of the sweet long ago,
tries from his treacherous memory to
correct me as against those evidences
which are indisputable.
Some two or three weeks ago this
same writer published an article in '
your paper beginning thus: “I see that
our Congress is trying to bluff the Pres
ident and his friends by crying free j
trade, and then our high tariff Demo-,
crats, such as Uncle Joe Brown, Mr.
| Randall, Major Bacon, the Atlanta
! Constitution, and some others have
raised the cry, abolish the internal rev-
I enue on whiskey and tobacco, urging !
j that all we poor Southern people need j
: is cheap whiskey and tobacco.” I re-!
I plied to that article, proposing that if
1 he could show where either of those!
parties had ever said that “all we poor
jSouthern people needed was cheapj
whiskey and tobacco,” I would vote for j
free trade, although it would about
take my life to do it. Yet in his next j
article he skipped over that altogether, j
without even making an apology for
the gross, if not intended, misstate-
\ inent.
Now, I again make the proposition
that, if he can substantiate by any his
tory whatever that the statements
made in his last article are true, then
1 will vote along with him to ruin the
financial and industrial interests of this
country. I deny that there ever was a
Whig tariff of 1840. Tie says that the
Democratic tariff of 1846 raised cotton
from 3$ to 16 cents. I deny that cotton
was 84 cents at the time of the passage
of the Act.of 1846, and that it was less
than 64 or 7 cents at that time. I most
emphatically deny that cotton was ever
16 cents from 184G to 1861, at any time.
Now, the more fully to show the wri
ter’s gross ignorance he says: “Cotton,
for instance, is raised only in the
Southern States, and is used all over
the civilized world.' Is it worth the

Below will be found a sample of the
multitude of letters of encouragement

your friends and neighbors, ladies anil j
gentlemen you know and esteem for
their honor and straightforwardness, i
and who would scorn to be a party to I
any deception. What has been done
for others can be done for you, and it is
folly, nay suicidal, to longer suffer
when the means of recovery lie at your
very door:

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
Notes From Old. McIntosh.
Mr. Editor:—Asa correspondent, I
feel that I owe your readers an apology
for my failure to report some matters
of real interest to the public, notably
the Quarterly meeting which convened
at Mt. Gilead, embracing the first Sun
day in April. As a most interesting
and edifying occasion it was certainly
deserving of mention, and a lull ac
count of it was written immediately,
but failed to reach its destination.
No event of general interest has
since transpi Ad. Farm work, of course,
occupies the mind and thoughts of all
and is progressing well, as it meets but
little interruption from the weather.
Indeed, the farmers would gladly wel
come a brief change from the continued
sunshine and drying winds. A good
shower would prove most acceptable.
Although the temperature for several
days continued persistently cool for the
season, the “killing frost” which has
been predicted for some date approxi
mating the present has not yet made
its appearance. Nature, however, niaj
hold it yet in store. Our “oldest in
habitant”' remembers that in May,
1881, there fell a frost which not only
destroyed the growing crops, but
blighted and blackened the foliage oi
the forest trees.
Last Sunday’s brightness and beauty,
together with the genuine interest of
the occasion, brought out a largo con
gregation to Mt. Gilead. With the
opening spring, and especially since
the weather permits regular attend
ance, interest in our Sunday-school has
revived and its friends are seeking to
advance its cause, llev. J. B llunni-
cutt’s sermon was from Proverbs xi\. .34
“Righteousness exalteth a nation ,
but sin is a reproach to any people.”
Mr. Hunnicutt is unsparing and im
partial in his denunciation of evil. In
his sermon he strove to impress upon
his hearers the temporal advantages
resulting from righteousness m a na
tion. and to make each mdi\ ulual real
ize his and her responsibility in his
or her country’s weal or woe. Especi
ally did he emphasize the wrong ol
sending to our Congress and Legisla
ture men whose immoral cliaiactei
render them unfit to represent a t lms-
tian constituency, or who tail to realize
their responsibility to God oi to
people whom they represent.
Mrs. Flowers, of Doraville, has t-
turned home after a visit to her motliei,

iting her old home
while, Mr. Editor, to show that cotton,
to the amount of three or four mil
lions of bales, is raised in Brazil,
Egypt, India, and some other parts of
the world, to refute the statement of
this most intelligent correspondent on
political affairs? lie also cautions the
Democrats against the Benedict Ar
nolds in their ranks. Now, Mr. “J. Y.
C.,” tell us what you were two years
ago when you were a candidate for Con
gress against the regular nominee, Mr.
Grimes, and were going all over the
country [making harangues in order to
def eat him? Were you a traitor then
to the Democratic party? Answer,
please. I am very sorry, Mr. “J. Y. G.”
that you were not elected, because both
you and I are greatly in need at this
time of those car-loads of silver you
were going to ship down to us had you
been elected, at your own expense! But
►what a change has come over the spirit
of your dreams, Mr. “J. Y. C.” \ou

party, whooping for Mr. Cleveland,
who is.opposed to the circulation of
those very silver dollars that you were
so anxious two years ago to tlood the
Fourth Congressional District with.

The Education of a Princess.
Ball Mall Gazette.
The eight-year-old Princess Wilhel-
mene, of the Netherlands, is now at an
age when her education as heiress of
the Dutch throne is especially interest
ing to the Hollanders. The tales con
cerning her education which appear in
an Amsterdam journal seem to show
that the old King is providing his little
daughter with a very democratic and
humane education. Her mother is
her principal teacher. She learns the
pianoforte and horsemanship from
Queen Emma. Her instruction in
reading, writing, arithmetic and the
modern languages is divided among a
number of teachers, everyone of whom
is strictly charged by the King to treat
her exactly as they would any other
school girl. Indeed, any master or mis
tress who ventures to address the
child as “Your Royal Highness,” or
even as “Princess,” is threatened with
the King’s high displeasure. The cus
tomary regal etiquette is not in very
much esteem at the Court of the Neth
erlands, where some survival of the
traditions of the Republican Stadthal-
ters, the earlier Princes of the House
of Orange, appear to be still in force.
The Princess is even allowed at times
to play on equal terms with “street
children.” Last week, as the Queen
and her daughter were driving in their
sledge over the ice-fields between the
palace and the Hague, they came upon
a large group of children who were
merrily snow-balling one another. The
in « T iier om i. Princess asked her mother if she might

Grantville, Ga., Dec. 18th, 18S7.—
“Warner’s Safe Remedies” are in great
favor in this locality.
Norcross, Ga., Jan. 19th, 1SS8.—
About five years ago I was taken with
a rising anil thumping and at times a
quick beating of the heart, so fast that
I could not count the beats. I had a
dull, numb feeling between my shoul
ders, and a pain in the small of my
back. I found temporary relief by tak
ing some simple treatment, but nothing
permanent. The spells kept increasing
in number and severity until I was suf
fering all the time. I sent for a doc
tor, the best we had, and I told him I
thought I had heart disease and re
quested him to examine me and find
out what was wrong. He did so, but
could not locate the disease. He left
me some medicine which I took, but
found no relief, anil, gradually got
worse. I became so nervous that with
the least excitement my whole system
would quiver like a leaf in the breeze.
I sent for another doctor. He examin
ed me and left several bottles of medi
cine but he did not tell me what was
the matter with me. I was then suf
fering very much, and every dose of the
doctor’s medicine made me worse,—no
rest day or night. I got so low that
when 1 looked out everythihg had a
dreary, gone look. There came to my
mind a statement which I had some
where seen, containing numerous re
commendations of “Warner’s Safe
Cure.” Though opposed to proprietary
medicines, 1 resolved to try it. I sent
immediately for a few bottles of it,and
as soon as it came 1 began to take it
according to directions for a severe case.
In 24 hours after taking the first dose I
felt relief right away. After taking
ten bottles of “Warner’s Safe Cure” I
felt as well as usual. “Warner’s Safe
Cure” saved my life.
