We find the Court-house in good eon- sSMon, but recommend the removal of urinary discharge pipe in the south- wesMury room, as this pipe is very of fensive-to jurors who are .compelled ro s&iy in the room. Leaving the .train at Senoia, in Cowe ta county, we soon-met up with our good friend and relative, Dr. J. P. Taylor, well knowm as one of the most intel ligent and skillful physicians of that section. Seated in his buggy, a drive of a few miles brought us to the pleasant village of Haralson, in Coweta county. The southern part of this county and the upper part of Meriwether county, where Haralson is located, are w T ell knowm for their excellent class of citi zenship, their beautiful, level and pro ductive lands, and for the evidences of thrift and development everywhere ap parent. This vicinity was largely colonized by sturdy and excellent South Carolina families of German descent, who settled here near a half century ago. They were devout Lutherans and among the early settlers was an earnest, faithful minister of that church, Rev. Beden- baugh, whose labors, seconded by those of his meek and zealous co-laborer, the Rev. Elijah Elmore, made an impress for good here that we trust will never be effaced. In a beautiful sylvan glen, embowered amid stately trees of dense foliage and near an everflowing spring of pure water, stands Mt. Pilgrim church, a hallowed spot where this peo ple have long worshipped. Rev. and Hon.Wm. A.Tigner, of Jonesboro, is at present the pastor. Rev. Jacob S. El more, a worthy minister and teacher of Bromvood, was born and rhared here and at one time also served as pastor. As a class this colony and their descen dants have been temperate, frugal and prosperous, and are regai’ded as among the most industrious and also the best farmers in the country. Their habits are so regular and their methods so systematic that they always seem to move along smoothly and easily, never pressing their w r ork and never behind with their crops. They have many traits that are peculiar, and many con veniences doubtless brought from the fatherland. Among the latteii is the Dutch oven, now we learn growing into disuse, but formerly could be seen on the lot of nearly all of these German Carolinians. These ovens were made of brick or rocks raised about three feet from the ground. After being thorough ly heated the coals were removed and then their baking was done. To those that have enjoyed their generous hos pitality, w r e need not say tlieir meals were alw r ays cooked and served in the most appetizing manner. Our visit here was the more enjoyed as it was here, in the days of first man hood, that it was our geese did just as the man said they would. When a goose got thirsty he walked up to his neighbor and coolly drank out of the gourd on his neck. When asked if he had yet made a crop with the help of-the geese, he re plied that he made a small .crop last year, but only had a limited number of geese, as fce was only experimenting. This year he has over 100 geese in har ness, and they have succeeded in keep ing his crop cleaned out so far. He has 100 acres under cultivation, and says that he will make the best crop he has ever made. When asked how he came to think o£ using the geese as farm hands, he re plied that two years ago he had a small patch of cotton near his house. In this patch the geese raised about his yard were allowed to run. He noticed that the cotton had little or no grass and no weeds at all, and began to watch the geese. He found that they literally ate every weed and every blade of grass, but they did not touch the cotton. Finding how valuable they were for this purpose, he resolved to try them on a larger scale, and is delighted with his experiment. His neighbors have paid close attention to the matter, and next year they will each ©f them start a large number of geese in harness in their cotton crops. If the-farmer's ex periment is as successful ae he thinks it will be, it is only a question of a few years- until the whole cotton crop of Alabama will be weeded out by tiie or dinary farm goose. “Delightful ta^k to rear the lender thought, To teach the young idea how to shoot.” A reunion with these early friends, and with the pupils of other days now- staid and worthy citizens, was truly a pleasure.

But the man of sarcasm was perfect ly unmoved. “What makes you sputter so when you talk?" he inquired. “Keep cool the way I do.” The coal man was now past the pow er of speech, and fie started to “lick” the cabman, but the latter, seeing a convenient opening, whipped up his horse and was soon at a safe distance. Gone After Water. Greensboro (Ga.; Sun. A story is told on a Sunday school teacher in a certain backwoods settle ment in a neighboring couuty, which is worth publishing.. She had a new class of young scholars-, the parents of which had neglected to-give them any instruc tion in their cateahism whatever. Com ing to the first boy in the class she ask ed him who inaeffe him. He did not know. She fold him God, and urged him to remembefib. Of the next boy she asked who was-tlie oldest man- He did not know and the teacher told him Methuselah. So she went on down the class, asking each a question and giving them the answer. Whil^ she was thus engaged the first boy went to the bucket after some-wa ter. The teacher returned to the head of the class, and not knowing that any was absent she asked the first boy who made him. Without hesitation the boy quickly replied, “Methuselah!” “No,” exclaimed the teacher in as tonishment, “God made you!”' “No, he didn’t,” persisted the urchin with confidence, “the boy God made is gone after water.” The teacher gave up the class.
