Says the Istils, (Eng.) Sternery ‘There i» nothing in which tneu do more wisely, when they agree to net the priucl|de of letting things alone, than when they apply this rule to tli«; slanders and misrepresentations which are directed against themselves. If only they can |(os*c*s their souls In liaticiicc, and sit down in quietness and sell-control when tliey are miaiiudcr- kNhmI or misrepresented, tliey may rest assured that they will gain n much more certain anil easy victory than if they Insist u|m>ii doing battle with all whom they, regard ns tlicir enemies, The truth is pint, aud it will prevall v says an old l-atiti proverb. One may go further, and say that, after all, the truth hardly needs to Is; helped hy iis. It will make its way hy Its own weight: It will prevail hy reason of Its own strength. So when tin; angry storm of slander rages, when jealousy lias l»e- f 'otteu tierce and hitler passions wldeli ii their turn lutvo annul themselves with cruel \vea|Miiis of falsehood and malice, the wise man will learn the wisdom of Idling things alone.

A News and Advertiser man met Col. Reuben Jones, of Baker couuty, on tint street one day last week, and. asked him for the nows from his baili wick. “Well, air,” said the Colonel, “I can give you an item that beats anything you have published yet about tlie drouth in Southwest Georgia, and it Is one that may at first seem almost incredible, but it is nevertheless It ue, and can be proven.’’ “What is it? Something very unus ual?’’ asked tlie scribe. ‘Yes, sir, it is very unusual; some thing that is without precedent in the !riato*y of this country.’’ “For a fan?” "Yes, air, for a fact.” “Then what is it?" “Well, sir, th? pine trees; trees that arc perhaps two hundred years old and have stood the droutha of ages, are actually dying for water on the pipe-day lands near the rivet. I can show you fifty acres of the lies! lim bered land I own, and after you have seen it I think you will agree with me that there is not a pine tree on U that will survive tho drouth. Tho trees are all dead and dying for rain. You see, whan this pipe-clay land gets dry it is the dryest soil in the world, and there lias not been enough nun on mine to wet It since early last spring.” “You think then. Colonel, Ihia drouth is without a precedent in South west Georgia?" "There’s no doubt about it, sir- none in tlie world. I have been here a long time, and have never known or heard of a drouth that would begin to compare with this one.’’ in ibo County Court. Judge Jones, of the County Court, held an interesting matinee with violators of the law Thursday morn ing. Jack 'Miller and Willie Thomns, two of tbe colored gamblers arrested by Sheriff Edwards on Wednesday, plead guilty and were allowed to go free upon the payment of $15 each and costa. Green Butler, a colored boy who atole some knives from the store of Welch Sc Agar, plead guilty to larce ny and was fined $5 and costa. Sylvester Story, another colored boy, was also fined $5 and costs for larceny. Sam Clarke, a colored man, was fiuod $25 and costs for larceny fn m Ihe bouse. Ed. Lyons, a young colored “blood’ of the town, paid $25 and costs for carrying concealed weapons. Tblnoa that u Newspaper Man Likes •• sec.

Umphry, wlm lives in a house in Stcffensvillc, Mo., once occupied by a suicide, says lie was visited a few nights ago liy a ghost tliat revealed to him Uie hidden place of a valuable diamond ring. Tlie ghost told him, he says, to >k under tlie floor at tlie bottom of tlie stairway. Ile looked there and found the diamond ring.

In Bergen county, N. J., Is an old stone mansion said to lie visited regu larly by spirits. Recently, while Uie family were awaiUng the return of one of Utelr number at tuuluight, a noise as of a falling body was heard In across Uie ball.

When tlie unseen man seemed to be about lialf wav down Um; noise of a person falling and rolling to Uie liottom was heard. A murder was committed iu Uie kitchen ol the bouse aUmt twenty years ago. Ten years ago seven young women at a Halloween Iiarty at Montreal, agreed to meet again on Uie same evening ten years after, Uie stipulation being "dead or alive.” Four years ago the origina tor ol Uie plan died very suddenly. Tbe others survived, and at the recent Hal- oween a elutlr was left vacant for tbe missing one. Tlie chair was draped in black, while on the table in front or It were some withered flowers from the grave ot the dead girl. Tlie Montreal Gazette thus concludes Uie story: "Tbe young lady next to the empty eliair spoke of a strange nervous sensation, but this was not thought of at Uie time. After tea Uicy started for the parlor, the young Iady4ast mentioned leading the way and carrying In her hand the bunch of withered flowers. When she opened Uie door she cried: ‘Look! look!’ and pointed to the parlor, where they saw disricUy a tall , white figure standing at the door. She who had first seen it retreated quickly, and was just leavingUie diningroom by the side door to the lial) when she again saw the figure, am! her cry brought three others to the door, and all raw itglidequickly along the ball from the parlor door to the door leading to Uie street, which seemed to open of itself and close after the figure liad passed through."
