Congressman Norwood laughed a qiilfet laugh when the strictures of ttie Constitution re lative to his votes In the coinage of silver were broached. “I • am afraid that paper won’t do ine justice, any way,” he quietly remarked. But while the big daily could abuse such a man as Norwood it made no hesitancy iu praising Renfroe. The Chinese government has done that which is a noble example to best Christian nations. It has requested all celestials to return home, and offer** them free transportation. The Chin ese have been brutally treated by the Western people. This will uRuse in- 5* ter fere nee, doubtless, with the com mercial relations of China with our country. Our export trade with China amounts to some $80,000,000 annually. Mr. R. L. Bloomfield, of Athens, writing to the Augusta Chronicle in re gard to labor, thinks our great trouble is the want of immigration and capital. He says: “How can farming or any other industry expect to prosper with money at fiftceu per cent., and a high rate of taxes in city or co tin try, which the farmer alone can pay? Advanced farming means more capital. We have not the money and cannot obtain it We have more labor than we can pro fitably use with the amount of capital. It is Just us we expected. The North ern journals, In order to defeat the school money from coming South, are advocating strong States' Rights doc trine. The spirit of Johu C.-Calhouii seems to inspire them.

Rue* in “The Power of Love” com pletely turned wild the touguc of the Atlauta Capitol. Listen to the Inten sive rhetoric of the editor: “Rhea has a remarkable voice. It is pathos itself and has a quality of sweet touching ness about it that we never heard in another human voice. In its higher tones it has a musical resonauce and a pathetic fibre indescribable, yet most effective. Rhea has marvelous facial r play. Her countenance fairly talks in its mobile expressiveness. Rhea last night riveted her former sovereignty, and a delighted house called her re peatedly before the curtain.” It is In the big Georgia daily that idea that the present high protective tariff will "surely and inevitably bring prosperity to the agricultural South. Deeply concerned for the Southern farmer, it says this American protec tion Is necessary for the farmer. “Thp farmers of the £putli can never enjoy renl prosperity until they Nre hopie markets as protection has built in New Englaud.” Well, protection has beeu the fixed policy of the Gov ernment for over twenty-five years, and will be for many years to come. If the hope of the South depends*!pon that policy, she has at least no pros pects In sight for improvement. Let her possess her soul in patience. Con stituting the big daily says: “With out a home market, there is nothing ^left for him but the all-cotton plan.” The all-cotton plau, we regret to say, v will, then, be in vogue many a long and dismal year, if the farmer’s only hope is in home-markets which are to come only through the poilcy of high protection. bad not been family secrets of a pri vate and thoroughly confidential character. Wills, now, for instance. What a favorite stock subject they form with writers both for books and plays, aud I dou’t wonder at it, for if there is any tiling that excltes.peoplc's curiosity it is the question of how some rich mau'g money is to be distributed! I’ve seen some curious scenes in fami lies over the readiug of a will; the de light of some, who have expected a mourning ring for their share, wheu they have found something very sub stantial instead; the rage of others to find that the mone}- upon which they have been reckoning for years—the dead man’s shoes, in fact, lor which they have been hankering so long—fit ted on to the other feet. I remember one case that, changing the names, it will be no particular breach of confidence to mention, aud I tell it the more frankly because it is a little against myself, for 1 must own that I did not acquit myself upon what is called the .square.. In tact, 1 played a part—for I did nothing else but hold iny tongue. If 1 had spoken it would have beeii fifty thousand pounds or so out of a truly honest mail’s pocket am I into a rogue’s; so. somehow, I let un feeling get tiie better of my profes sional conscience, and I said not a word. I was old John Hendrick’s solicitor and looked after his property, for 1 had known him when he was a strug gling mail and I was a 3-oung lawyer with none too much practice. Then 1 lost sight of him lor twenty years, at the cud of which time 1 was plodding along respectably, just holding my own and nothing more, when, going into one of the city taverns for my reg ular daily chop,wiiicli 1 ate at the* table for so many years that I had become one of the institutions of the plate, 1 found myself opposite a ycllo.v-iook- ing, thin, gray-haired man, who kept on looking up from his plate to stare at me very rudelj', 1 thought. I did not resent his stare at first, but at last it.became so unpleasant that 1 determined to look him down, and I gazed firmly iuto his eyes. “Why, it Is!” he exclaimed. “Dick, old boy, don’t you know me?” “That’s Jack Hendricks’s voice,” 1 exclaimed, nearly upsetting my plate, and the next moment we were* sitting there, hand clasped in hand, and with tears in onr eyes, looking very foolish and weak, L dare say, to the other oc cupants of the room, but that did not trouble us, for we had too much to say' to each other. John Hendricks told me that he had been in the north of India, close to Nepaul, for over twenty years. 11c had goue out us a factor to an indigo, grower, and had become grower him self. “An now,” he said, “I have come to look after my dead sister’s sons, and— to die.” Well, old fellow,” I said, “the first part’s right enough, but as to the dying, I think it’s as well to leave that alone. It will be all settled for yon. The only thing with respect to that, speaking as a professional man, is to make your will, if you have anything to leave, aud then make the most ul' yourspan.” “Have you made yours, Dick?” he said sharply. “I? \o,” I said, laughing. “I’ve nothing to leave. Jack,” and then we went into mutual confidences, and after l had told hFln of my own hard working life, he gave me to understand that he had made n very large fortune in indigo, and spent very little on him self. ‘Mine has been too hardworking a life, Dick,” he said, “for me to be much of a spender, but it will be fine thing for Jenny’s two boys—if I like them,” he added sharply. And then, with a quiet, sulnlucd look, “Poor Jenny! 1 should have liked to see her again.” John Hendricks was fifteen years my senior, but we became once more the cldSest of friends, for he seemed to resume his old protective way over me, and get to be a clever, shrewd man of I hate an empty dandy, the worth of money be fore he gets it. God bless him! he’s exactly Uke Poor Jenny.” “And how about Sam?” I said, in my gruff, repellant way. Let him stop where he is, and sell — and tea dust, and make his money out of the chests,” he Said,' in a bard, harsh manner that I did not like. “But you’ll leave him as much as you leave his brother?” I said. “That 1 won’t. Dick. He’s my sis ter’s boy, but 1 don’t like him. He’s his father over again—the father who behaved badly to poor Jenny, and bro»e her heart. He 'was a gambler, and thought only of himself. Poor girl, she made a sad mistake; but let that rest.” “Well, I don’t know,” I said, “but I think you are misjudging Sam. 1 believe him to bt*i very frank, honest fellow.” Bosh! Don’t tell me, sir. I can read character. I haven’t lived to sixty-eight for nothing, sir. The fel low never shows. me a bit o. defer ence. He’s rough and independent, and bullies his brother just as that scoundrel, his father, did my poor sis ter Jenny. I don’t ftke%itn. I don’t ike him.” Now I, too, had studied characters a little, and I knew enough of John Headricks to see that 1 should lie Join** no good by fighting on Samuel’s behalf*; but I made it my business a few days later to ask him to call upon me, and during the interview the opin ion I hud already formed was strength ened. “No, Mr. Brown,” he said warmly, “I ean’t do it. I don’t say but what if my uncle left me some money 1 should be glad of it, for—fori, am thinking of getting married, sir. But my uncle does not like me; he has taken a prejudice against me because he says I am exactly like my dead fatlier, and I can’t help that, of course*.” ‘But yon might try to humor him a little and let hiui see that you don’t deserve his—1 aui {sure—wrong opin ion.” “Thank you for that, Mr. Brown, he exclaimed, and his eyes looked soft and subdued; “but 1 could not do it. 1 never would toady to anyone for the sake of the money that might come, and if 1 were to go there trying to please my uncle, he would only de spise ine for it. My poor mother taught ine, Mr. Brown, and 1 have never forgotten her teachings.” 1 found before long that John Hen dricks was thoroughly in earnest, for he sent or me one day to take in structions to make his will; hut 1 could not help laying down my pen when 1 found he intended to leave the whole of his propertv, save some trifling leg acies to servants and others, to his younger nephew, Philip Ilemsley. “Now,” I said, “is that fair?” “JSlr,” he said, “you are uow my professional man.” “Adviser,” 1 said, correcting him, “and 1 a I vise you to do your auty by your uephews by leaving them equal shares.” “I’ll do nothing of the kind,” he said, “I’ll leave it all to Philip.” 1 argued and fought, and the result was that he let me put down two thousand pounds for Sam, but the great property of a hundred and odd thousand pounds, well invested, was left to Phil. “Now, Dick,” said the old fellow, chuckling, “those boys will be sure to ask you if you have any will of mine, and I want to humbug them, so we’ll deposit this at the banker’s, and then if they ask you if you have 1113- will, \-ou can say ‘No.’ ” Everything was done as he wished, and the will placed at the banker’s; and though, during the next five years, I tried hard to get the old man to make a fresh one, he grew more ob stinate than ever, shutting his eyes blindly to the character of bis neph ews, and all I could do was to let mat ters take their course. he should have intrusted to me the making of his will.” 1 am a man of the world, but for a moment I was knocked off my balance. Then I was about to exclaim, as 1 saw him bring forth the document, “Why, yaiL.Acoondrel, you have forged will!” Fortunately for Sam, I recovered myself, and silt with my old friend’s genuine will buttoned up beneath my coat, while, with the calmest audacity*, the rascal read out the document that, as a lawyer, he had cleverly forged. I saw it all now. He had asked uie if I bad hfe ancle’s will, and I had said no. He must have searched the old man’s papers and found none, ami feeliug safe, Philip had forged a wilt iu hie own favor, and i;rtfaliy, too— making one about which there could be no dispute; for he provided legacies to friends, ami- the residue, w hich proved to be oyer one hundred pounds, in equal moieties to his uephews. Samuel and Phillip Hemsley. I sat and laughed to myself as heard him read this piece of forgery , which was all iu due form, clever from the man’s cunning in couteutlng him self with hair, knowing that if the will were otherwise it might have beeu dis puted, when uow It would be takeu as perfection, aud there all the time I sat with-the genuine will in my breast, from which be was cutting himsel ofl by this act, while 1 rejoiced to tiiink how the villiau was being forced as it were by fate to do justice to his brother Sara. What would you have done—given the scoumlrel into custody as a forger, made a terrible upset, aud caused uu end of trouble about tbe property' Perhaps you would, 1 did not, for 1 went lioiue,aftersatisf3'iug myself thal die false will was iu due form, and destroying the real one. Yes, i know wbatyou will say—that it was a felonious act; that 1 ought ro have beeu struck off the rolls. Perhaps I ought to have been, but I pomlered on the fact that, instead ot the whole hundred thousand pounds going to villian who would stoop to forge, hall of it weut to a truly deserving man; so I left tbe puuishmeut to higher powers than those of mail, and kej my secret, which is a secret still, for 1 have only given fictitious names. It was a hail course for Philip Heins- ley, w ho was in a quiet, secretive way. a regular scamp—his father over again. He was very clever and shrewd a< a lawyer, and got on well when he stuck to it, and this pleased the old nmn, to whom he was devotedly atten tive; while poor Sam seemed* to be come more and more estranged, though a better and truer-hearted lellow uever married a pure, sweet little woman like an angel, who poured out his tea for a grim old fellow. 1 was often at his suug little home, and, after trying in vatu to make things • better for him with his rich uncle, 1 came to the 'conclusion that they would be no happier for the money, so I let matters slide. “ l’wo thousand will be a nice nest egg for them,” I thought, “so perhaps all is for the best.” As I have said, Phil became a shrew-dish fellow in the law, and passed his examination pretty well, so that he knew what he was about in legal matters; and one day he proved the truth of his uncle’s nronheev hv but trusting me fully in every point. It was all done m a quiet, uuostei tatious way, biit from the day of Job Hendricks’s return the world began to smile ou me. I had a great deal of professional business to do for him. and he had most extensive connections among indigo planters. I found them coming to me right aud left by his re commendations, so that very sco.i, in place of finding it haul work to keep oue clerk, 1 had very hard work for lour and a big balance at ni3 T bank. But I aui getting on too fast. Before long 1 met the two nephews at their uucle’s quiet little house at Chelsea, and as we sat at dinner l could not help thinking how Kindly fortune vyns behaving to the young men, to dace them in tho way of such expecta tions; and before 1 left it was plain enough to me which was the uncle’s favorite. This was Philip, a frank-faced young fellow ol two or three and twenty, very gentlemanly in his ways, and decidedly good-looking, while he was fhll of anecdote and, without seeming to be toad3’ing, full of atten tion to the old man’, to whose dogmat ic speeches he listened with the great est dcfereuce. For old John had giown terribly dogmatic. He had had the manage ment of hundreds of poor r3*ots for so many years that he felt quite a king in his way, and would bully and snub every one when his liver was a little worse than usual—every one, that is, except me, for whenever he was out of temper, he never would speak to me, but nod and shake his head, aud smoke his chillum till he felt more at ease. Samuel was the very opposite of his brother, being a short, thick-set, plain the truth of his unele’s prophecy by saying to me suddenly: “My uncle is far from well, Mr. Brown. Have you got his will ?” “No,” 1 said so shortly that he turued upon his heel and went away. About a month later I was with my old friend, and felt shocked at the change, for it was evident that he was not much longer for this world. He hail sent for me. aud I was in hopes that he had meant to alter his will, and I was right. “What a while you have been com ing,” he said querulously. “I wanted you so badly, Dick.” “I came on directly, old fellow,” I sa'ul, kindly. “Here, let me put you a little more easy.” “Thauk ye, Dick,” he said, “but it’s all over. That bov has killed me. Did he ask you if you had my will?” “Yes, at>out a month since, and I said ‘No.’” “I knew it, Dick, I knew it,” he said, pitifully; “and ever since he has been worrying me to let him make my will. Dick, old ^friend. I’ve made a big mistake. There—there, don’t jump 11 pou uie. I—I confess it all. I thought he was his mother’s boy, he was so like her; but—but lie has his father’s spirit a.id bis wars to the very bone, “l am glad you liave awakened to the truth,” I said. “You should have advised me bet ter,” he said querulovsly. “Should I, Jack?” “No, no; you did, Dick. I’ve only just found out what au old fool I am, my dear boy. We have quarreled ter ribly-, that boy and I, for I have found him out, in spite of his smooth tongue. He’s a scamp, a villian—a gambler, and iu debt terribly. He has half killed me, Dick, and—and—” I tore at tbe bell, as the poor old fellow seemed about to have a fit, for the terrible emotion he had suffered at what must have been the rooting up of liis most cherished belief in his sister’s child, luul proved, in his weak state, to be more than he could bear. The doctor was sent for, aud at the cifd of an hour Johu Hendricks was so far recovered that he whispered my name, and 1. sitting down beside him, heard him iu a whisper say: “Draw up my will quickly. A just one.” I don’t think he will ever recover sufficiently- to sign,” said the doctor. “Ue has’ drawn it too late, Mr. Brown.” The doctor was right, for my poor old friend never recovered his senses, but quietly hreathed his last a few hours later. The funeral followed indue form, and I was there, both as old friend and solicitor, to meet the very small party who went to the grave. Sam was there, of course, making no indecorous show of sorrow, while his brother sobbed aloud over the grave Unwilling. Youth’s Companion. Most people are averse to appearing in court. They sometimes think that it is a reflection on their own respecta bility to appear as witnesses. Mrs. Amauda W. Brown yvas of this opin ion. She lived next door to a man who was notorious for the disturbances he caused in the town. His name was Jake Long, and he had been arrested for an assault upon a Leigh bor, and a constable had been sent to bring Mrs. Brown into court as a witness. “Are you Mrs. Amanda W. Brown?” asked the constable. “Yes, sir; 1 am.” I have a subpoena tor your apjiear- ance at court.” *A subpeeny? Want me to court?

In hardly any portion of the penin sula are there more than two daily trains, one of these only carrying sec ond-class passengers, and as compara tively few persons travel first-class they must go by that particular train or wait twenty-four hours. Stop over ticket** are never allowed, uor is a passenger ever given a ticket to any particular point uuless the train makes all through connections. He may be willing to wait at some junction a fen- hours till the uext train leaves, but no such infraction of the rules is permit ted. He must either go back to bis hotel, if he has come to the station with the idea that be could leave at that hour, or take his ticket by some roundabout route that he has no desire to follow. Spanish ticket agents are uncommon ly slow and stupid. Three trains may be about to leave one after the other for different points. You may wish to go by the second or third, and hav- iug come to the station you take your place in liue to buy your ticket. It is useless. The tickets are only being sold for tiie first train, and that must be dispatched before any can be sold for the second. So you leave the line and wait, and are fortunate if you are able to get your ticket and take your place before every available seat has beeu occupied. Even iu cities of some size ticket-offices are mean aud ] places, often in one corner of the gage-room. Station-houses are ways dirty, and agents and ticket- takers are often unclean and take your ticket with fingers contact with which seem undesirable. First-class coaches are about as good as the second-class in Frarce and Italy, while the second- class are no more comfortable than those of the third-class in those conn- tries. CURE FOB FILES.

He looked as though he was ready to roll up his sleeves ou a mo ment’s notice and give her ladyship a good pounding, but he kept control of his temper and worked industri ously.

Every where that the spike or the hook went n blood made its appearance.

About 1:20 the eiephaut, thoroughly overcome and exhausted, gave up the fight, and walked on board of the fiat car, passed from it into the close car prepared for her convenience. During all this performance an im mense crowd hung about the car watching every detail in the work of loading the elephant, aud when she walked into her apartments, a shout went up from the crowd that could be heard tor blocks. The end of the car was then built up, which was a matter of only a few moments work, as the lumber for it had already been pre pared. The camels and the other ani mals were in the car before the ele phant w'as loaded, so that nothing remained but to board in the end ami start the car for Columbus. This was done, and the car left at six o’clock \-esterda\- afternoon by the Western and Atlantic and Cincinnati Southern for Columbus. In the car the negro and the circus man took quarters, w hile Shipley put up with a seat in the cab. In this way the entire party will make the trip to Columbus, reaching that city Tuesday afternoon. The expense « f preparing the car, the freight on the animals and other expenses connected with the shipment is put down at $150. neoBfe _ Albsny was well represent; d on the JteS-fifHgUrLut t^agridritural depart- abort weigjiL a!iim orpWphate powders occasion above referred to, and the ment. —Valdosta is concerned over a bet ter water supply for her fire depart ment. Wouian’N RighlK. “J. R. R.,” the able Washington correspondent of the Augusta Chroni cle, recently attended a Woman’s Rights convention iri Washington. His description of some of the speeches ot the strong-minded is very racy. One woman, claiming to be from the South, made a speech. The lion of the occasion was a gray-headed negro man. The convention wants an amendment to the constitution giving women tiie right to vote. Mr. Randall, in a second letter, has the following to sa}- in regard to this convention: “I went a second time to the Woman’s Convention. 11 is a won derful spectacle. The talents there displayed for oratory are phenomenal,, ouly matched by zeal in the mission. Few public men have the fluency, wit and incisiveness of these females, and Congress would be much livelier and less nypocritical if the spirit exhibit- ed by^Lpe weaker sex were manifested by the so-called strouger. I would n >tbe at all surprised if this agitation, along with prohibition, convulsed the country at some future time. Th*» leading women in this movement are earnest, persistent and intellectual. All of them within my knowledge have a decided approach to the mascu line in body and brain. They arc armed at all points about their cause, and woe to the man who confronts them unprepared! They have a cer tain kind of justification iu logic, but do not hesitate to denounce the Bible and boycott the preachers who stick to the full text which would seem .to imply any sexual inferiority^ Their movement is a growing one, and male demagogues and fanatics are already seizing upon It as they do upon prohi bition and as they did upon abolition. Several pastors have already been combelled to surr nder, and, on Sun day two of the cleverest aud least of fensive or a-rogant of these women are to preach by ministerial itiyimtion. This is a big straw. It may portend not only the way ot a political wind but an* ecclesiastical cyclone, in a day or two I shall propably send you an editorial article sketching the other side of the controversy as it appears to some political thinkers.” people of Camilla and county appre ciate the interest thus manifested in our town aud its hotel enterprise. The good editor of the Clarion says they eat at the Hotel Georgia by music. Now if it be true that music sharpens the appetite, would you not think there might be some danger of our clerical friend overdoing the thing while trying to appease the Inner man, under the influence of Cutro’s sweet music. 1 heard a certain doctor say, a few days since, that the Hotel de Shivers was feeding him too high, that the sparkling aud fashionable wines were no rarity there, which is the next best excitive of the appetite after the sweet strains of music. So, gentlemen edi tors, when 3'ou come down if you are not “moved by the sweet sounds and concord of music,” you have another chance, but if afraid of the “sparkling cup” you can be accommodated Farming is going on slowly. In consequence of the dry and cold weather, farmers have held back, and few have began the important work of planting seed corn until the first Mon- da}-. The rains came on the 26th and 27th and put the groundia good con dition. The idea seems to be to plant cotton early this year in order to get an early crop and thus defeat the devouring caterpillar. Others say uo caterpillar this year, because of the very cold winter. Others argue that the caterpillars have done tbe most harm after the coldest winters. I do not believe any of us know much about what will or will not be done by this pest, ravaging enemy of tbe cot ton plant, but if we judge tbe future by the past, cotton is not “King.” Will there be an election on the pro hibition question as published by the authorities of your city some time since, on or about the 21st of April next? The suggestion you remember was made by the Prohibition Commit tee to hold elections at the same time iu Dougherty, Baker and Mitchell counties. 1 liave not heard the ques tion discussed but seldom in this coun ty of late, neither have I seen any ac count as to the intention of the voters of Dougherty county recently. Is the case that the movers in this enter prise are waxing weaker and more in diffent? If it be a matter of impor tance to wove forward, and if concert of action between the counties afore said be desi-able, it is time to be up and doing.

Do we, as a rule, laugh enough ? Is there not too much beefsteak and too little gravy for salutary digestion in the every day consumption of. brain food? Is there spice enough to season the standing dish of drudgery ? There is a service to a chaste laugh, and its relation to physical comfort is note worthy. Onr emotions are the play things of our surroundings, and tbe graces we would cultivate can never be perfected in an atmosphere that is not cordial. The nightmare of disas ter is ever disturbing new endeavors and cherished ventures, and if it is to be dispelled tbe handiest helper is the sunshine of mirth. To one who is in tiie maelstorm of cares, or one who is a galley slave in the struggle to exist, or on whose cast of dice is stak ed the gain or loss by living, there is no force that c?n sus tain as broad hnmor.

Few men in the country probably have been so needlessly, not to say shamefully, made the butt of ridicule as Senator Jones, of Florida. The w hole country has been let into the al leged secrets of bis absence from Washington, and both tiie press and and politicians of national repute have been engaged in ridieuling him for his susceptibility to female charms, or abusingJiim for being absent from bis seat in the Senate. Such treatment might be expected from village gossips, but it should not be expected from any other class of people. The first report about the Senator was to the effect that he. was laying seige to the heart aud hand of a haud- some and wealthy widow. Then came a statement that the fair charmer w'as a lovely tnaiden of 30, with a tax list and bank account amounting to $2,000,- 0d0. After- that tbe rumor was put on the wires that the Senator was iusane, and that some of bis friends were look ing after him. Then it became certain that he w*as reasonably sane on the silver question, and retained his old view’s on the tariff. The last report that comes from Washington is to the effect that the Senator lias not gone crazy ahout the young lady at all, but that’he really has two strings to his bow, in fact that he was in love with a go’den-haired maiden lady of Detroit, bui. that he was discreet enough to see that he had made a mistake, and tliat he is now devoting his time and atten tion to a young aud worthy widow-. Whenever a man is in Jove he is lia ble to be the subject of delicate jokes by his friends; and the press of tbe country having been let into w*hat pur ports to be Senator Jones’ secret, feels at liberty to publish good humored paragraphs about tbe _ affair. But do one should _ made by Mr. have been and have noi cause of tbei very good oue; but if he is absent for the cause alleged, he should not only be excused, but commended—that is,if the interest of nis constituents are not allowed to suffer. it Is not good even for a Senator to be alone in tbe world. The duty of winning a good wife, or trying to do so, is oue of tbe highest that is incum bent on every man. The matrimonial question is eminently a privileged one, although not recognized in Parliamen tary lawrs, and a Senator should not be too severely handled when he finds it necessary to be absent from his J tive post in order properly and fully to pop IL —Julius Menko, clothing dealer, of Atlanta, has failed.

Aud yet some people af fect to believe that farmers can’t find sale for anthing they raise except cot ton. —The Valdosta Times says: “There were a party of men trading in Val dosta several days ago from Taylor county, Florida. They came in their carts aud wagons 80 miles. It is this sort of trade—and lots of it—that is making our town grow and thrive. -The Dawson Journal says: “From all indications Hon. A. O. Bacon, of Bibb, will be the next Governor of Georgia. The news from all sections of the State is very encouraging to his numerous friends. Besides, the press boys all see in to be extremety fond of bacon.’* —The Quitman Free Press says: Several of our young people went over to VaMostaou Thursday night lust to 6ee “Only a Farmer’s Daughter.” One young man we wot of, however, weut out in the country a few miles to see a farmer’s only daughter.
