A “Lover’s Quarrel.”
Kuniuiftfi City St«r.
That was a pathetic story the news
dispatches carried out of Denver the
other day, about the old bachelor mil-
lionare on hin deathbed who sent for
the woman to whom he had been be
trothed forty years ago.
When both were young and poor
they loved each other, and a day was
set for the wedding. Before it came
they quarreled over some trilling thing,
as lovers always quarrel, and in the
heat of Ins anger he went away.
The years went by, and James M.
Wilson became a millionaire. But his
live for Carrie Hurd remained, and he
never murried.
When he was dying last week his
mind went back to the sweetheart of
his youth, to the strollB with her in the
twilight down the flower-scented lane,
and he Haw her face raised again to his,
and heard her merry laughter, and
there surged into his heart a feeling of
remorse. Perhaps he had wronged in
leaving her so, and a great longing
came over him to see her once more be
fore he died, if she was yet alive.
No doubt Bho had married; perhaps
she hud forgotten him. No matter, he
wanted to see her.
AndJ|so, to humor him, they Bent
word buck to the oldj home town. But
she was not there. Dong years ago she
had gone away. Where? To Denver.
They found her there, where she hod
lived for years, just to be near the man
she loved, where she could see him
once in n while without his seeing her
or knowing that she was near.
His last hours were consoled Ly her
presence, and his will gives her a for
tune. But that does not atone for the
suffering that u triviul "lovers' quarrel"
was permitted to bring into their lives.
It is a curious trait of human nature
that so often men anil women will al
low some minor disagreement, under
the Btress of a’.foolish pride, to bring
them misery.
Only those who are wise learn how
essential it is to make compromises, to
overlook faults and failings, and to
make sacrifices in recognition of the
surpassing value of friendship'and lovo.

A Coramunity'of Widows.
Mi'riwi’thcr Vindicator.
There is nojjmarrying in Greenville
these days.*.’. In fact, there is but little
courting going on. Cupid is doing no
business here. What’s the matter? It
may he hard times. The young men
of marriageable age seem to be out of
the ring.% A few widowers are putting
in some hard licks, hut the bachelors
have given up the light.
Greenville £is a town of widows.
There are sixteen here. What iB the
cause of so.'.great a rate of mortality
among married men? This is a ques
tion for an expert to answer. A wo
man left alone to fight the bat ties of life
has a hard time of it. The strong
right arm of the husband hud hitherto
been between her and the contest for
existence. Plunged suddenly into the
struggle she is dazed at first, but the
pluck of womanhood wins at last. Nine
times out of ten she is more Jeconomi-
cal with her funds than the departed
husband, and she wins by ttie practice
of self-denial. Widows are pretty
successful [and good children raisers.
The crucible of (necessity brings out
the purefgolu in the woman, and some
how the Almighty is partial to the
prayersjof the widow. Many strong
men have been raised from boyhood by
a widowed mother, and many a useful
woman bus come up without a father's
protection. The widow has a hard
time, but her reward will be great
where she succeeds in her mission.
Pat was busy on a road working
with his coat off. There were two
Englishmen laboring on the same road,
so they decided to have a joke on the
Irishman. They painted a donkey’s
head on the back of l’at’s coat and
watched to see him put it on. Pat,
of course, saw the donkey’s head on
his coat, and turning to the English
men, said:
"Which of yez wiped yure face on
me coat?”
Communicated,
Andersonville Prison.
Thinking it might be of interest to
some of your readers, 1 take the liberty
of sending you this communication in
regard to conditions at the Anderson
ville prison; and will say this is not what
I have heard someone say, or what
someone has written or heard, but the
writer was on the ground, around the
prison, and he will try to be fair in
what he undertakes to write, after a
lapse of fifty years. 1 was detailed for
guard duty at this prison in the summer
of 1864, and remained there until the
end of the war. I saw the last prisoner
turned out. The prison stockade was
built on the left of the railroad, about
half a mile from the Andersonville de
pot. At that time Albany was as far as
the railroad went in that direction, and
several timeR we had to make the trip
to Thomasville on foot, a number of
prisoners being held at that town the
latter part of the war. It is about 80
miles from Albany to Thomasville—a
right good tramp over the sandy roads,
with but little to eat. However, a sol
dier's duty is to obey orders and ask no
questions, and if he does ask he is not
apt to know much more than he did be
fore.
Andersonville prison embraced about
thirty ncres of land, with a branch run
ning through and a fine spring inside
the grounds, which furnished water for
the prisoners. The stockade was built
of hewn pine logs set up on end, mak
ing a wall about If) feet high. About
every 100 yards there was a ladder lead
ing to a small platform, where the
guards kept watch over tho prison. On
the inside, about ten feet from the
stockade, was the dead line, and pris
oners were not permitted to cross over
this lino. Thero were two gates to the
prison, known as the north gate and
south gate. Rations for the prisoners
were sent in at the north gate. The
guard was mounted at the south gate,
and required to stay there. Near this
point cannon were mounted on a little
hill, commanding tho prison enclosure.
Each platform around the stockade was
occupied all the time by a guard. The
dead house and hospital were on the
south side of the prison enclosure. The
main business was done near the south
gate.
This prison was not a desirable place,
for thero was much hardship con
nected with prison life. Neither was it
pleasant to be on guard duty, for the
soldiers had to suffer privations and
short rations the same as did the pris
oners. It is a sad remembrance for ull
who bud to undergo the hardships at
Andersonville, whether prisoners or
guards. J. H. M.

Chamberlain's Liniment.
This preparation is intended especial
ly for rheumutism, lame back, sprains
and like ailments. It is a favorite with
people who are well acquainted with its
splendid qualities. Mrs. Charles Tan
ner, of Vvabash, Ind., says of it: “I
have found Chamberlain’s Liniment the
best thing for lume back and sprains 1
have ever used. It works like a charm
and relieves pain and soreness. It has
been used by others of my family as
well as myself for upwards of twenty
years.” 25 and 50 cent bottles. For
sale by all dealers.
Gen. John B. Gordon, on the way to
Athnta for the unveiling of Uenj. 11.
Hill’s monument, April IK), 1S86, first
used the term, "Daughter of the Con
federacy.” Crowds at every station
met the train beuring I’resident Davis
and his daughter. At each station
calls were made for the President to
speak. He was very weak, so Gen.
Gordon stepped to the roar platform at
West Point and. holding Winnie Davis
by the hand, explained why the Presi
dent could not speak, but he wished to
introduce to them the "Daughter of
the Confederacy.” Loud cheers rent
the air and she was ever after that
given that name, and every chapter
organized in the U. D. C. is an honor
to Winnie Davis. The next day, May
1, 1886, at the unveiling of the statue,
Dr. Spalding led Winnie Davis ’for
ward, and Henry Grady introduced her
again as the "Daughter of the Con
federacy.”
They brought a wounded British
soldier back from the front, and some
body asked him to describe the battle
in which he was hurt.
"Well,” said the Tommy, "it’s like
this: First you 'ears a 'ell of a noise,
and then the nurse says: ‘Try and
drink a little of this ’ere.’ "

Behind the Broom
Georgia’s Native Grasses
Are Valuable For Hay
Pres. Andrew M. Soule, Georgia State College of Agriculture
The native grasses of Georgia should
be utilized to the utmost extent for
the grazing of live stock in the sum
mer time and for the production of
hay. The Smith can produce a very
satisfactory quality of hay in suffi
cient abundance to meet the needs of
its farm live stock and leave a sur
plus for sale.
It is true that our pastures have
been neglected, and that we have not
spent the effort on their care and
management their importance entitles,
in favored locations where we can
glow blue grass and red clover, em
phasis should be laid on their culti
vation. In every section where red
top, white clover, alsike and timothy
can be grown, these grasses should
he cultivated. For the general farm,
Bermuda should be utilized for sum
mer grazing, and a turf of this char
acter will be greatly improved if Ja
pan and bur clover are seeded there
on.
For winter grazing cereals can be
extensively utilized, which may he
seeded by themselves or combined
with crimson clover or vetch. Excel
lent hay can he made from cereals
and vetch. Then, our climatic and
soil conditions are so well adapted to
the production of corn and sorghum
to be used for silage and for combi
nations of corn, sorghum, coxvpeas,
soy beans and millet to be cured as
hay that a choice quality of succulent
food and dry roughness may be avail
able on every Georgia farm, both sum
mer and winter forphe maintenance
of much larger numbers of live stock
than we have ever though it necessary
to keep up to the present time.
Too great emphasis can not he giv
en to our nature pastures and the pro
duction of bay from tame grasses as
well. It is only a matter of time and
education until our merchants will re
alize that we are producing here at
home as choice a quality of hay as
elsewhere, in fact, native hays con
tain a higher content of digestible nu
trients than those brought in from
elsewhere and certainly we can pro
duce them at a reasonable cost and
still leave a profit to the farmer if
we take into consideration the price
which we now pay for northern and
western hay.

Tree Seedlings For
Reforestering In Georgia
J. B. Berry, Professor Forestry, Geor
gia State College Of Agriculture
The development of a Forest Garden
has been started at the College with
a view to eventually establishing a
forestry nursery equal to supplying
the needs of Georgia in reforestering
its worn-out and gullied fields, and
for stoning forests on a commercial
basis, the idea being to supply seed
lings at cost, which will be quite low.
The construction of the nursery seed
beds has been done by students as a
port of class or laboratory work. Their
planting and care also devolves upon
the student, thus affording them nurs
ery experience. How to plant trees
on eroded soil is also a part of the
Instruction.
A variety of willow suited to mak
ing baskets and furniture is being
grown. The purpose is to cut the
crop of willows each year for use of
students who have a basketry work
shop to assist in paying the expenses
of their college course.
Summer Forest School
J. B. Berry, Professor Of Forestry,
Ga. State College of Agriculture.
Plans have been completed for hold
ing a summer session of the School
of Forestry at Freedom Lodge Forest,
near Blue Ridge, Georgia, from June
21 to August 21. The camp will be
located in the heart of the mountain
forests on the Ocoee river. The
course is open not only to students
[ of the regular course in forestry at
the College, but to any who want to
take up forestry, acquire some of its
principles, or combine nature study
and a summer’s outing. It will be
helpful to high school teachers.
The school will be held in tents
and camp life will be the order, but
for those who may desire, accommo-
I dations in houses as well as board
can he had conveniently near. Den
drology, surveying, ornithology, men
suration, silviculture, camping prac
tice geology, zoology, forest botany
and special lectures are offered. The
most interesting and practical phases
I will be handled.
Those who desire to attend the
school should write for an announce
ment of the Summer Camp.
