I don't believe wo Juivo had a
drop of rain since Saturday eve
ning. TliO farmers iiavo been
very much act back ori account of
j*o IT) 11C li rain recently. Hut if
! there should be a long dry spell
right after the wot spell it will
damage some crops very much.
Oats and wheat that were in the
shock during tho wet weather ure
about ruined. I have talked with
some farmers who toll mo they
saved their wheat; some of them
by hauling it and putting it in
the barn, and others had theirs
; threshed out before it was dam-
I aged.
There is a man here with a
phonograph. The instrument will
! reproduce music, speeches or
! anything such as herding cattle,
| scenes in the courtroom, etc. The
reproduction is just the same as
if you were actually listening to
I the delivery from the original
I parties. Every word is spoken
as plainly as a person can speak.
| Saturday evening after the facto
ry was shut down there was a
| number of boys around where the
exhibition was going on, little fel
lows just from the factory. Mr.
Hamilton noticing their wistful
and anxious manners told the
manager of the instrument to give
them a “hearing.” The little
fellows eagerly grasped the rub
ber tubes and placed the “nozzle”
to tlieir ears. The pleasure they
seemed to derive from the privi- j
lege was enough to repay many i
times over the trillo it cost Mr. j
Hamilton. Now, I hope Mr.
Hamilton will pardon me for us- j
ing his name iu this connection,
but while these little fellows were,
enjoying tin; treat I was thinking,
j yes, thinking, how much pleas- J
anter it is to all concerned to
treat with kindness llioso who
| through misfortune or otherwise!
j may be obliged to obey thedirec
j tious of those more fortunate. A i
kind word or act will insure more J
j faithful service from an employe
than any amount of unnecessary
fuultfiudiug aud harshness. Butl
j there are exceptions to all rules, j
There are some people who will;
; not bear kind treatment. They I
will soon begin to act as if the
i whole concern belonged to them, j
While much is beiug said and
written about tho silver question
and so on, and many people want- j
ing silver put on a parity with j
gold and all such stuff, 1 say
while ail this is going on tho peo
ple who work for Trion M’f’g Co.
are being paid off in gold. Last
week when 1 opened my pay en
velope the yellow wheels rolled
out. It looked mighty pretty, but
it was not worth a cent more to
me than a national bank note, or
so many silver dollars.
People who are talking about
the People’s Party giving them
i better times, if they would look at!
the situation seriously and with a
desire to learn just how dividing j
among ourselves here at the j
South will prove disastrous to the |
interest of tho laboring class they
surely would not lend their influ-j
once to accomplish their own iu- j
jury. I wish I could do or say
something to get the people to
look before they leap.

Wo leave all well at home. On the
w ay we see the crops generally in
Imd condition on account of so
much rain. We met quite a num
ber of teachers *oing home from
their meeting at LaFayette. It
was a respectable looking turn
out.
At the McCutchen garden we
saw some of the .lohnson grass.
If it is let it stay, by and by it
will oust the farmer from the

what I tell you.
We found all well at fiich
Boss’s. Saturday morning we
started for New, in Chattooga,
and got lost and on the way wo
crossed Chattooga river four
times. Went by Triou. Tito
w orking of its machinery was as

we crossed the ridge and was too
late for preaching.

Miss Leacy Scoggin and Joseph

Monday morning we see a gen

was rainy some of them cleaned
out their fence corners and fixed
up their fences that cattle had
pushed about for the weeds that
were inside.

There is truth iu the following
lines:
“When thy heart is sad aud heavy.
When thy life is all misread,
Give not anger for injustice,
Give a gentle word instead.
"When another's heart is hardened.
Say not ‘lt is naught to me';
Do thv best to heal the mischief,
Lest the sin should rest on thee.
Never speak iu hitter seorning.

An accident on theChickamau
ga <fc Durham railroad, near Lula
Lake on tho mountain, caused by
a car loaded by trestle timbers
jumping the track, on which were
several convicts and their guards.
One of the guards, Wm. Patter
son, jumped off the car, and by
some cause was thrown under
the wheels and run over, mang
ling Ins body frightfully, causing
death soon thereafter. He was
brought to the camps where an
inquest was held, a verdict ren
deied accordingly. Capt. Parrott
procured a nice burial case and
sent his remains to his home near
Buchanan, Ga.
If no mishap an iron bridge
will span Lula Lake by the last of
this week. Work lias been great

weather, but with a few days of
favorable weather, the locomo

Quite an excitement was creat
ed oyer a cow belonging to E. I).
Atkins, a renter on It. A. Keith’s
farm. The circumstances are as
follows:
A few evenings ago Mr. Keith
sent his two youngest sous, Les
ter and Cleveland to the pasture
to drive up the cows. Mr. Atkins’
cows were iu the same pasture
with Mr. Keith’s. The cow that
caused so much fuu aud excite
ment is known ns old Dun. " hen
the two boys reached Mie pasture
and had walked to where the
cows were grazing, Old Dun was
taken with something a little like
hydrophobia aud not wanting the
boys to get too near her, waited
until they were in about fifteeu
steps when she made a break for
them, Cleveland says with her
head up aud tail oyer the dash
board. The fence was about two
hundred yards away, aud Lester
says tbev and the cow had it nip
aud tuck. Every time the cow
nipped they tucked. Finally they !
took a bush and stayed iu it until i
Mr. Keith became uneasy about
them aud went to see what was
keeping them. He got the boys
out of the bush and started slip
ping along to keep Old Dun from
finding them, but all at once Old
Dun came out of the bushes. Mr.
Keith is a minister, but on this
occasion his congregation broke
up without the benediction. Ev
ery one went his own wav as fast
as possible. When they got home
they were frightened so that it
took all three of them one hour a
piece to tell of their adventure.
The family was awakened all
through the night by Mr. Keith
calling to liis wife: “Halite, head
Old Dun.” Old Duu died the
next day. It was a big loss to
Mr. Atkins, but yet he says it is
so funny.
Gentlemen, look at the grass

Mr. George Clark caught and

1 have tried several ways plant
j ing peas and 1 like sowing them
j among early corn just before plow
ing to lay bv. thereby plowing
| peas in,which will come upa good
coat of vines to protect laud from
the hot sun of August and Sep
; tember. The vines are a good
fertilizer. If you want to make
peas I would advise you to plant
| tolerable fair land such as you
can make corn on from 15tli of
! May to the 15tli of June; rows2l-2
| feet apart and drop about one
| dozen peas in a bunch two feet
apart, not strow them. Cultivate
them until they get the start of
the grass, say two plowings and
one hoeing is enough. I prefer
whipper will peas forstock andlatd
If you have a level or nearly so
piece of sedge land and want to
make it rich, I’ll tell .you lioiv.
Turn your sedge under in Septtm
ber this fall; then next year you
will have a crop of rag weeds to
come up. Iu like manner turn
them under last of September and
in Slay or June following, sow
about one bushel of peas to the
acre and plow them in with a
scooter and wing on it, and the
following September turn under
pea vines.
I hear that Mr. Spencer War
then has ten acres of corn and ho
expects one hundred bushels of
corn to each acre. Our farmers
should do a great deal of worn
in winter to make a small quanti
ty of land rich,as it pays so much
better to cultivate rich land than
poor.
There is hardly any cotton
planted in this section, I suppose
about one-tenth of 1890’s acreage.
I see more oats being harvested
than usual and they are fine this
year. From the prospect there
will be more corn made this year
than last. If we are laying by we
ought to plow just deep enough
to kill the little grass. It might
turn dry after this rain.
If any oue wants turnip seed to
make salad next spring, I have
them.
Tell Hunter that an old fox and
and four or five young ones as

Editor Messenger: I have no
ticed several squibs and sliugs in
your papei recently about the
senatorial race in this district,
which I think emanate from a
source not at all friendly to the
Democratic party, and particular
ly about the primary. Now, it is
a conceded fact that it is Catoosa’s
time to name the man for Senator,
and in ordering the primary was
our mode of making tli9selection.
We have presented to the other
counties a good tuan and an able
oue; one who will rellect credit on
the district and oue who has the
nerve and manhood to stand up
for the people and their rights
withhut regard to class.' It is
reasonable to expect a few dis
gruntled and disappointed office
seekers would fight organization
and encourage independents.
That is their old trade. The times
are too serious for democrats to
split up and the course of the
would be leaders will be watched
closely.
