THE HISTOKY OF SAM JOSE It is not uncommon rhiug for a man not worth a thousand dollars, who lives in a small country town in a house not fully paid for, to re fuse the gift of a ten thousand dollar house in a large city, and that is what Sara Jones did the other day in iVashville. And who is San; Jones. \\ rilter on the conference mins ! utes it rea ls: “Samual ParkJoDes Agrnt Orphans Home,’’ but no body writes him revereud and everybody calls him Sam.

Nobody saw him study, but he knew more than any of his fel lows. The teachers loved him, laughed at him and lathered laths wed him. He was full of mis chief and was about 16 years old when he hegan to fall in bad ways He was a vagabond, never a gam bier or thief or a coward, but he would get on sprees much to the grief of hie. good father and mother. . A BRIEFLESS LAWTER. His father look him into his of fice and Sam was soon “S.

Be ran an pari* drore a dray to make day Sam who was m ur iy .a an engine and was n..-on aiaoyed by those who fed the crasher, patting pieces of rock into the hopper and throwing the whole ot the machinery out of gear. Sam declared his intention io knock the head off next man who did it. It was done directly by a hurley Irishman. It was done diiectly by a big burly Irish man. Sam seized a hammer and knocked the Irishman down. Next day Sam was coming trom his cabin and in an djieii space, some distance from every one stood bis antagonisi of the pre ceeding day. “Ye struck me yisterday, said Bat; “no man ever strike me oncet who does not strike me agin.” “Now Pat.” said Sam. “we are even. You did what I told you not to do, and I knocked yon as I told you I would; I don’t bear malice ; lets drop the matter." A THREAT THAT PROVES EFFECTUAL. But the Irishman declared his determination to have a fight then and there. The Irishman had only one eye. Sam looked at him with yerfect coolness. ‘ Pat,” he said ‘I don’t want to fight you I can't, you could whip me in a miuute ; but I can tell you weat I will do you’ve got but one eye, and if you lay your hand on me as sure as yeu are living I will gouge your eye ou/ and you will be blind as a bat."

OUR OWN SECfriON-WJG LABOR FOR ITS ADVANCEMENT LAWRENCEVILLE, GA. JULY 7 1885. OAT MORGIDGE.’ \ j BOW A OEOROIa CROPPER KARAITES TO UF.T HIS YEARS RATIONS. The supply merchants of Geor gia own the farmers of Georgia Western corn and bacon have an annual fight wfith king cotton in ; Georgia and the old king gets whipped every time. It was once thualy : “Why do You plaut eotton T “To bay negroes.’’ ( “What do you want wi/h so many negroes^” “To make more bottom” “What do you want with more cotton/” “To buy more negroes.” Now it is changed and the last twenty years it has run thusly ; “Why continue to plant cotton!’ “To buy corn and meat and mules with." “What do you wjnt with corn and meat and mules!” “To make more cotton to buy more corn and meat and mules with.” And this ruinous system has run on and on until now at the end of the year /he mea/ and corn men chant shakes his mortgage and every shake brhgs in a bale of cot ton and every bale represen’s five sides of bacon or forty bushels of corq and more starvation. The poor fellow who tilis the soil bn a credit, for another who is sitting in the shade, resorts to many devices in order to get his year's rations. Many times a mule or a cow is duly described in /he /npply merchant’s inor/gage and 'frequently the seeker fur supplies manufactures to order by the wholesale (in his mind) whole droves of cattle, several pair of mules and a pen of hogs, all of which are duly mertgaged. Mr. T N. GibsoD, member of one of our largest supply firms, ; tells tne following story on one of bis colored cropper customers : Dock Coperland, of the Valley, applied to Gibscn & Sewell, for credit for supplies. They agreed to sell him Dock gave him a mortgage on one mule, two cows an d six hogs. The clever firm let Doc have a “year's rations,” and sent him on his way rejoicing. Duriug Ihe year as Dec would come in on .Saturday evening, Mr- Gibsan would always propound the usual question asked by the sup ply men of the customers; “Well, L oc, how's crops ?” “Pow’ful fir, Mars Torn. poYv’ful fur. Eberything am lubley an dars de peerauce dat tilings am gwin ter be iniUp Title long bout gedderiu time,” replies Doc, and the merchant rests satisfied. It was a chilly day in bleak lDe cember. The merchant sat by his cozy fire in his office. Doc’s ac count remained open with not a siDgle credit. The office door gent ly creaked open and in walked Doc with hat in hand. His chin was on his breast, and his under lip hung low down and altogether he was the picture of despair. The merchant rose from his 6asy chair and eyed Doc critically and after a moment’s pause said : “Hello, Doc, is that you! Why ain’t you dead? I thought you wer6 gone. Haven’t seen you since crops were laid by. Welli Doc, how’s crops!” “Mars Tom, I’se mity poorly. I ain’t ded do, but I’se not eejoyin ob my health so berry good at de present time bein.
