4 pX)WlN MARTIN, Proprietor. Devoted to Home Interests a.rul Culture. TWO DOLLARS A Yearin Advcac#, VOLUME IX. PERRY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 1879. MfMBER 34: reputation. Reputation and ambition, are closely jUied to each ether. Both are members 0 f tb* same family, and one is the nat ural consequent of the other. To lose on6 i y 0n must necessarily lose the oth er; and, to obtain one, yon must first be'possessor of the other. Reputation ja tlie reward of ambition; it is, in other words, the prize or stimulus which ex- ettes and arouses in the breast of men that great and powerful passion. Since reputation is the reward that awaits the enbitous, we cannot marvel or wonder it finding so many ambitioos men. fiat, there are two kinds of ambition iofi as they bear such a close relation to oor subject, it would perhaps, be better to briefly notice them. Perhaps, it was not the real, the true ambition that inspired the hope of a great reputation within the breast of the Protector, since we have upon rec ord, from the lips of a man, who-hud eonnded the lowest depths of its glory, the ‘words,—* ‘Cromwell, I charge thee fling away ambition.” Doubtless, how ever, the great cardinal, himself, had realized, through a dreadful experience that the ambition -that had inspired him was not the true, the laudable one; and ere that time, perhaps, it had been un- mletably proven to him, that he had been laboring under a terrible and, an aimost, fatal delusion. .Be, deeply con scious of the mistake he had made, and smarting under the degradation, which was but the evil consequence of the fa tal error he had committed, exclaimed with all the bitterness and sarcasm of which bis soured and injured nature was capable—‘‘I charge thee fling away am bition.” Probably, it was the convic tion that an error of the same kind had been {committed that led the great French stateman to say that “The rep utation of a man is like his shadow— gigantic when it precedes, and pigmy in its proportions when it follows. He bad doubtless followed the promptings of a false ambition, and the reputation be bad acquired, as his reward, was not what he anticipated or expected. Men ire often lured by the whisperings of, what they conceive to. be ambition. Few, indeed are those who possess the tree, the laubable ambition. Now, as there are two kinds of ambi tion the tree and the false, there must, of necessity, be two kinds of reputation. The man who is led oa by false ambi tion, as the natural result, obtains, as bis reward, a false reputation. He is not satisfied and £cardinal-like, he is charging every one to fling away ambi tion. He has by pnrsucing this ambi tion, reached, whut he supposed to be, height of human greatness: but, all of a Hidden bo descends even lower than where ho commenced. His reputation was not worth much,—it was not what lie bargained for,'and now in this de grading position he is terribly remind ed of the great truth that the Sybil en deavored to impress npon the mind of ineas,—’’Dejcmwiw Averni Facile-Esl. ’ Trbe ambiton’lead a ns to a true repu tation—a reputation that when once ob- hined, there will, be no danger of los ing and the ambition that leads to snch a reputation is the true, the laudable, u ambition that is not the mere gratifi- citionjof one’s selfish cravings and de nies Let every one encourage and foster Lis ambition, bnt let ns no more Oharga znother fling to it away. — Talleyrand. An Old ConfjSdebate’s Habd Fob HjNes.—The Clifton (Tenn.) Bulletin of Tuesday says: “We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Robert Williams, an old Confederate soldier, a member of the Eight Mississippi Regiment, who was withj General Lee at tho fight at Gettysburg, and, with his brother, was severely wounded. After the sorrens der they went to Brazil, in company with a number of Southern people, Jand be informs ns that all who went have returned that coaid possibly do so, and tbat there are some who never will be *ble to get back. His description of *be people, country and bis trials was ray interesting. His brother and ancle both died in Rio Janeiro, lost fall, of Jellovr fever, and he had a siege of it, bat pulled through. He came from ro to Matamoras on a Coffee brig. On landing, on -United -States soil he ©we three cheers in expression of.his •piness on being able to say that he was 10 * 'white man’s country once more.’ He ako informs ns that he was a native ^ Tennessee, born at Nashville, and traveled all the way from Matamor- **ou foot, and was expecting to meet a Ollier who lives near Nashville. ’’ A REMINISCENCE OF NIAGARA I remember when I was bat a boy that a man got into the rapids here, having been carried down in a boat, which was broken to pieces, He had the good fortune to be dashed on a rock to *rbich he clang. It was at its height of the season—August, if I recollect— and he clung there for fully thirty-six hoars. Everybody streamed oat of the hotels and the village; the banks of the river, particularly on this side, were thronged with people anxious to do something to save him. Dozens of plans were suggested; some attempted, bat they all failed. Thousands of dollars were offered to anybody who would rescue him. The desperate situation of the man had been telegraphed over the conntry and every train bronght crowds of passengers hither to witness it with theiriown eyes, He was encouraged by their shonts from the banks, but whether he could understand anything said is doubtful. The world [s said to be sympathetic. It is, or it appears to be, Unsympathet ic, because the object for which sympa thy is asked is abstract. When it is tangible, visible, all is changed. There was an exemplification. This poor wretch could be seen. He was an ordi nary, uneducated man; bnt he was a man, and the brotherhood and sister hood of the race went ont to him in pity and intense eagerness tq rescue him. Women of fashion, blase club men, selfish worldlings grew pale as they watched the unhappy wretch, so vivid was the sympathy. Manj persons sat up all night looking across the seething, rorrrag waters at the small, dark figure, still clingiDg to the rock. The mor ning came; renewed efforts were made, but they all miscarried. The crowd had increased; it was immense. Ev- erbody was excited. Tears-were in the women’s eyes; the pallor gleamed through the rouge of some of their cheeks. Can’t something bo done? Must the poor fellow perish before our faces? Is there no way to rescue him? Such questions were asked, but, alas, no reply could be given. The man had good courage and great strength. He clnng to the rock with a desperation of a dying soul. To lose his hold was to be dashed over the cataract. Appara tus and contrivances arrived from Buf falo. New experiments and new failures. Hoarse shonts still rang across the rap ids to hold on—to be of good heart. The stoutest heart' that ever throbbed could not-gripe that rock forever. It was wonderful how he had endured. A fresh idea had came to the minds of half a dozen mechanics. They were la boring to throw ont a hawser; every muscle wa? strained; every eye was bent upon their work. Suddenly the man slipped away. He was exausted; he threw up his arms; he dashed tow ard the cataract. A low groan ns from one breast, quaked through the throng; the thousands shivered with terror. A black object for a moment longer in the hell of the waters, and then dis appeared forever. There was an agoDy of relief. No one moved; no one spoke for awhile. All looked in the direction where the figure had been swallowed np. It was the enchantment of terror; it was the chill of tragedy distinctly wrought which froze every one for the moment to the spot. The old resident— he has lived there forty years—says that on an aveiage about six persons are carried over the falls every year, and that four out of the six are wholly or partially intoxicated, and lose their lives by carelessness or reckneessness in rowing above the rapids, going beyond the line of danger. Bnt for liquer not more than two lives, he says, would be lost annually.—Niagara Later to St Louis Globe-Betsocrat.

To ** * * Te x another is to teach him to vex ^ £ a 'n; injuries awakes revenge and Rees as Firebugs.—The village of -Marshallton, in Pennsylvania, was late ly destroyed by fire. The fire was the work, it is supposed, of an incendia ry—coal oil was found in a jointer’s shop among some shavings, which had fnilofl to ignite. The disastrous spread of the tire, however, rather due to acci dent than design. At the outbreak of the conflagration in apiary took fire and twelve hives of infuriated bees, proba- 75,000 to 100,000 in number, were turn ed adrift amongst the citizes working to put out the fire. The result was that everybody was stung, routed and put to flight, and the people who persisted is trying to save their prorerty were bunged up and by the vicious little in sects, so that that they had to retire nilly-willy. A Congressman Not Allowed to Preach.—Rev. Mr, De La Matyr at tended the Chestnut Street Methodist church Sunday afternoon, and some of the prominent members desired to have the reverend gentleman preach. A council of trustees'and officials was held, and while some of them were in favor of listening to the words of wis dom as they fell fom the gentlemans lips, a majority were, opposed to his preaching, thinking it might exert bad influence, Rev, Mr. De La Matyr has been a minister of the gospel thirty years, and says this is the first lime he g. . yeui oj a °. an5 sting, and a fly trouble has ever refused a Methodist pulpit. Patience. —Portland Argus. A SINGULAR CAMP-MEETING Methodists and Spiritualists are at war in the Langsberg woods, twenty miles from Philadelphia* The rival camp-meetings are two miles apart, One morning last week five men and women from the spiritualist fold pres ented themselves before the Methodist preachers. “We offer you greeting, they said, “and have come to say that if you will allow some of 'our speakers to occupy your pulpit, we on the other hand, will be glad to welcome some of your ministers to our rostrum.” The preachers gasped for breath when this proposal was submitted. Elder Chap lain was the first to reply, and, in very plain terms, expressed his opinion that the proposition was not one to be en tertained. Then pastor Sisty asked for a spiritualist declaration of principle 8 , and the request being complied with, he took a cursory glance at its pages. This done he exclaimed, with indigna tion, “This settles the question of our affiliation with. you. You haye no Christ, no atonement, no repentance, no new birth, no reserrectiqo, no judg- mnat, no hell. Yon allow every man to think as he pleases. No; we have no place for such as yon.” During the discussion several hundred of the camp- followers had gathered around, com pletely encircling the delegation. “Let us pray before you depart,” sug gested a minister, and crowd went down on its knees. The delegation tried to move, bnt there was no egress, and they remained standing. Then one of the brethren began to pray. “Bring down tHoly Ghost npon these visitors,” he supplicated, and the audience re sponded with “Amen;” “Glory to God;” Come, Lord Jesus,”, - and ejaculations. JVhen the prayer was ended the aud ience rose and the delegation lost no time moving away. Before they had gone many steps the strains of the Old Hundred hymn from a thousand voices broke on their ears.—Exchange. * THE STATE FAIR. ’Phe arrangements for the State Fair in Mucon go steadily forward, .and the constantly improving prospects are grat ifying to those in charge of the enter prise. There are frequent inquiries from all parts of the southern portion of ttie State in regard to the Fair, showing the deep .interest felt in its prospect all over that'portion of Georgia. The turf sports at this fair will be unsurpass ed byHhose of any of the faifs which have been given, and a large number of elegant stock from the North and' the West will step proudly over our mag nificent track. Among the horses which will in all probability be on hand may be mentioned the following Norlh Carolina horses: Santucky, Ora B„ Lady Goldsmith, Mollie G., Lula, and Mechienburg. The first four are Abdnl Korees’ colts and the plane’ts. Abdnl Koree’s time as a tbree-year old, in a four mile heat has, we understand, nev er been beaten, and some very fast time may be expected from the North Caro lina thoroughbreds. These horses have left Charlotte and are now in training at Oglethorpe Park, at Atlanta. They will come after the fair at that place to the State fair in Macon.—Macon Tele graph. SIR GARNFT WOOLSET GEN ROBT. E LEE. AND The following is an extract from the last letter from “Mont,” the Paris cor- pondent of the Cincinnati Enquir er: At this moment the eyes of Europe are turned toward the great army com mander in ZuIulandL Daring “our lit tle war” this officer was a guest with Gen. Robt E. Lee. I knew him then. I have met him since. The last time I met him I asked him where his head quarters would bein South Africa. “Not in the saddle,” he replied, with a smile, and the suggestive - quotation revived our recollections of persons and events in the past that gave ns much mirth of criticism. We talked over the cam paigning in the South, and Sir Garnet said: “Do yon know that the armies of Europe have learned some great les sons from General Lee? I think ho was the greatest General of his age; yes, perhaps of any age; and my o rn opin ion is that the north, though not very proud of him, will soon come to look upon General Lee with as much pride as the people of the South, and both be glorified of the great American Gener al, from whom much of modern strate gy has grown into rules of war.” I note as coming from the first soldier of Great Britain, if not of Europe, and at some future day I may add further remarks on the Generals who were opposed to Gen. Robt E. Lee. and whose-military abilities European officers have carefully noted. Tire Republican managers who lay much stress on the presence of Confeds erate Brigadiers in Congress will be pained-to leam that General Joe John ston is disgusted with politics, and in tend to retire to private life at tha end of his present Goneressional term. The recent rains have saved the North Carolina tobacco crop. Reports state there will be within twenty per cent of that of last year. MISCELLANEOUS.

On the Philadelphia & Atlantic City railroad, 5 persons were killed by a col lision. Streams of lava were flowing from M t. Vesvius, last week, bnt no serious erup tions occorred, A Wonderful Pendulum. W. W. LeGrande, of Louisville, in a communication to lhe Scientific Ameri can, gives the following description of a simple device for indicating the rotation of the earth on its axis: .“I secure a large permanent magnet to the ceiling of a room or a steady tri pod, and from it suspend a wooden pen dulum rod of any length, having at the top a cone-shaped tip of soft iron, which is tamed to a smooth, rouhd. point to allow it to swing freely in any direc tion. To the lower end of the rod is hang a ball of one-half the weight re quired to pall the rod from the magnet. This pendulum, once set in motion, will swing in the same plane for thirty hours. By placing a dial under the pendulum the apparent charge in tbe plane of os cillation of the pandulnm may be observ ed. However, this change of position is not in reality in the pendulum, bnt m the dial, which is moved under the pendulum while the latter preserves its plan of motion. Placed at the poles, th's simple instrument would indicate fifteen degrees per hour,which is exnctlo the rate of the earth’s rotation. In this latitude it would indicate an honrly mo tion of nine degrees forty-seven min utes. With this simpleinstrument, which any ordinary mechanic can construct at asmall cost, the movement of the earth may be clearly demonstrated in fifteen minutes, A Trance of Nine Weeks. The physicians of this city are much interested, and the public generally greatly exercised, over a singular in stance of suspended consciousness—the case of a young lady who has lain in a trance for nine weeks. The case has been much talked of for weeks, but up to this time the papers have re frained from giving general publicity to it through their columns. The young lady in question has for weeks lain in a comatose state, and for a month was apparently asleep. After this period her slumbers appeared to be distnrbed, her face at times becoming greatly con torted, and her hands gesticulating wildly. Her eyes became wide open, her countenance betrayed no intelligence or conseousness. Her condition np to the present writing remains unchanged, and the doctors are still watching the case with a nxiety. They have great dif ficulty in affording-the patient sufficient nourishment-, and have resorted to al most every method of introducing food into the stomach. They pronounce the case a phase oi hysteria, and that it will not necessarily prove fatal.—Norfolk Virginian. “We are informed,” says the Augus- to News, “that a few days since a young man living in an adjoining county, while out squirrel hunting with his fa ther, was bitten just above the ankle by a large rattlesnake. He'immediately shot and killed the snake; and being some distance from borne,- he appealed for help to his father, who promptly applied his mouth to the wound and sucked it with great tore, repeating the operation several times—By this means the deadly virus was so effectually ex tracted that no sickness or swelling en sued.” Best hundred ears oern ” bushel red wheat ” ” white ” ” ’’amber " 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 ” rust-proof oats 1.00 1.00 LOO 1,00 ” common II II rye ” ” barley rice in sheaf 1.00 barrel flonr 1.00 bushel meal 1.00 ” rough nee 1.00 ” dean rice ” sweet potatoes ” Irish 1.00 1.00 1.00 groundpeas 1.00 chufas... 1.00 peck rutabagas 1.00 ” German millet seed 1.00 ,’ cat-tail ” ”... ” broom com ” .... 1.00 1.00 ” bushel speckled peas 1.00 ” ” white ” 1.00 ” ’’shelled com 1.00 ’’bale cotton 10.00 Second best bale cotton 5.00 Best display in| variety of forage crops—1 bdl each kind....... 1.00 Best bale grass hay 1.00 ” ” peavine hay 1 00 ” ” beggarlicehay 1.00 ” ”groundpeavine hay.... 1.00 ” ” chnfa hay 1.00 ” ” cut-corn fodder 1.00 ” ” com blade ” 1.00 ” six stalks com 1.00 ” ” ” cotton 1.00 ” ” sugar cane 1.00 ” ” red top or golden cane 1.00 ” ” broom com 1.00 ” ’’tobacco.. 1.00 ” watermelon 1.00 ” pumpkin or California squash 1.00 ’’leafsmoking tobacco 1.00 ” twist chewing ” 1.00 DEPARTMENT “B” HOMO INDUSTRY.
