WHO ARE THE HAPPY.
Millions of people are happy
and don’t know it .
A majority of civilized man
kind regularly have nourishing
palatable food, at least modera
tely good health, a safe com
fortable shelter and facilitie.
for taking a bath. They have
besides books and periodicals to
read, churches and lectures to
attend and now and then a
social function that suits their
taste.
Startling misfortunes, dread
ful accident?, irreparable lossn
or long and terrible illness do
not often happen to the iudivid
ual. They may at long enter
vuhj, hut even here nature is so
kindly and loving that she pro
vides for the gradual wearing
away of even the most terrible
grief, th 6 recovering from even
overwhelming loss, if the person
has pluck enough to take the
strings in his hands again.
Woat then, is there for the
average person to be unhappy
over? Nothing, absolutely.
The misery', tiro foolish hanker
ings, the dumps and the blues
wo make for ourselves, out ot
our own imagination. “I've
had lots of trouble,lots of trou
ble,” said the old farmer on his
death bed, “and most of them
n ver happened. - ’
The man who has good health
and a comfortable home is
therefore a very happy man.
He may aspire always to higher
and better things, or what ever
he thinks are higher and better
tilings. But to sit down and
fret and whine and grow bilit us
because we want is not aspiring;
it is going down into the swanp.
Wbat we want we have facili
ties with in us for gaining.- The
pleasant, healthy pursuit of a
rightful atm or object or ambi
tion is in itself a happiness.—

A.SAD ERROR.
A New Jersey subuihanite
tells this one:
There is an editor in our little
tow’n who just for the present
wishes he were somewhere else
Desiring to compliment tin
school teachers of the place and
extend the circulation of hie
newspaper among them, he
wrote an elaborate article,
which he headed, “Pension A
Lot Of Our School Teachers.’
He then continued in an elo
qu<nt strain to declare that
“there are about a dozen of the
best-known teachers iu our
schools, who, because of their
long service in tho harness,
should be peiiM u d immediate
ly”
Of course the intelligentcom
positor got in his work, and, as
the old man failed to retd the
proof, he was horrified to find
his paper declaring that there
were a lot of old school teachers
iu that town who ought to he
“poisoned” immediately.
1 lie editor informs me, with
tears in his eves, that this is
one of those unpleasant epi
sodes whi:h occur to au editor
now and then. —Hsrdwaie.

A GWINNETT BOY
IS PAID A HIGH TRIBUTE
BY A NEIGHBOR.
Editor Herald: Having had
occasion to make a business
trip to Forsyth county recent
ly, I crossed the Chattahoochee
at Hutchins’ ferry.
In going down the long slope
after leaving the beautiful resi
dence of Mr. C. L Hutchins, a
grand scene opens to view. A
magnificent farm of Cliattahoo
chee river bottom lies in full
view of the road, owned by Mr.
Hutchins.
In looking down the river, a
half mile away I saw an object
that at once excited my curios
ity; it appeared to be some sort
of a machine plowing; at that
distance it appeared to be »
wagon plow; a man was on top
of the machine, driving three
horses abreast. I determined
to investigate on my return to
find out what the thing was.
I returned in a few hours
and called at the residence for
Mr. Hutchins. He answered
me from the cotton field hard
by and came out with a cotton
sack swung across his shoulder,
his collar open and sleeves reli
ed up—a typical farmer iu ap
pearance. He gieeted mo with
a hearty shake oj the hand, in
vited mo to put up my team
and speud the day with him.
which I declined at first. 1
asked what kind of a machine
thut was I saw at work down in
the valley. I w - as told that it
was his son Guy sowing wheat
‘‘What is he doing on the lit
tie red wagon ?” I asked.
“It is a seeder, and not a
wagon,” he replied.
•‘Well, I want to see it at
work. Will you go down there
with me ?”
“Certainly,” lie said. But
before we got oil' we discovered
that Guy had stopped and was
coming to the house. He
soon arrived, riding one horse
and leading two; wearing a
broad-brimmed hat, in his shirt
sleeves, with a leather belt
hitched in its last hole, whist
ling a merry air, a worthy son
of a worthy father he looked.
He, too, gave mo a warm greet
ing, and told me if I would stay
for diuner he would show me
what he was doing. I conseted
My horses were put up and fed,
we went to the house, ate a
good dinner, and discussed the
topics of the day.
On my inquirrii.g of Mr,
Hutchins about the early histo
ry of his father, Judge N. 1..
Hutchins, senior, I learned that
he came from Pendleton, S. C ,
lo Georgia when 17 years of
age, was a poor hoy, clerked in
a store in Elhertmi, studied
law, come to Lawreuceville
about 1822, practiced tie legal
profession witli profit, owned
900 acres of river land, owned
from 80 to 100 negroes, made
corn by the thousand
and his place was known as
“Egypt,” for there was always
much corn there. Hq became
Judge of the Western circuit
about the beginning of the war,
amt held the position until bis
death. At one time he was
wortli over a SI(K>,O(X). This
brief history shows what a poor
boy, with grit and noibition,
can do.
Ou asking my host for a few
points in it is own history, he
said he was going to school in
Marietta when the war broke
out; joined the first company
that left Gwinnett, served in
ctive infantry service through
the w hole war, came out with
out a scratch; after the war
took charge of his father’s farm,
run it until his father’s death
He married Miss Lula Starr of
Narcooohee; furthermore he
declined to speak.
I am pleased to testify that
he and bit accomplished lady
have built a beautiful home,
raised a family—two sons and
two daughters—noted for its
musical talent and genial dis
position.
But of the farmer sou, G. S.
Hutchiut, I apei tally w ish to
• peak. Although his father
gave him a collegiate education,
lie chose the farm for au avo
cation aud right well does he
fill the plaoe, While resting
at the dinner hour he gave .lie
a few pieces of music ou the
piano, among them a new com
ic piece, “Hot times iu the old
town.” He has a store of cotn
ie, popular and sue t>--d music.
LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 9th 1897.
The son at the piano and the
father with the violin makes
splendid music.
But to the seeder, or throe
horse riding drill! Off we start
ed to see wheat put in the new
way. Leaving the road at the
foot of the hill, we enter the
farm of a hundred acres or
more of ricii alluvial river bot
tom. Passing through a cut of
80 acres, where the boy farmer
had cut a crop of wheat that
averaged 80 hushols per acre,
we came to n cut of 10 acres
that had been turned prepara
tory to sowing to wheat, where
we found the machine T had
semi from the road.
At first sight it seemed to be
a novel piece of furniture, with
its bright, (lashing colors, but
on close inspection it proved to
be an improved seeder, with
guano and grass seeder attach
ment. It drills in wheat in
the rows 8 inches apart, car
ries a gang of 8 plows or drills,
measures the wheat and regu
lates the number of acres of
land gone over each day. It is
a splendid machine and works
to perfection. The boy farmer
took great pride in explaining
the workings of the machine,
after which he mounted the
box, gave the word, and with
three horses abreast the drill
started. I stood off and watch
ed with admiration how beauti
fully the thing worked. It
puts iu the seed with far more
regularity t han a man could do
in the old way. It covers a
space of (> feet, or seeds that
much as it moves along. Its
capacity is 10 acres per day.
This young farmer has quite
an array of improved labor
saving implements, of which I
took an inventory, Besides
this grain drill, which he rides
while at work, lie has a Heaughs
8-horse sulky plow, capacity 8
acres per day, cuts a 20 inch
furrow; a hay rake and a New
Bearing mower; an Adams com
bined walking or riding cultiva
tor, capacity 10 acres per day;
a Buckeye reaper and binder,
capacity 10 acres per day, (he
says he has cut, bound mid
piled 15 bundles per minute
with this machine); a Clark’s
cutaway harrow with 12 discs;
all of which he rides while at
work.
lie is au enthusiastic farmer:
he has the tools and the land
to use them ou.
] saw his corn crop; some of
it measures up 08 bushels per
acre —over 18 barrels, and some
of his cotton will make a bale
to Hie acre.
As I said, his fat her gave him
a collegiate education, and he
Inis qualifications fitting him
for one of the professions in the
higher wulks of life, yet he lias
chosen the farm,.preferring the
socioty of the homo to that of
the business world. His fath
er’s library, composed of the
best nutbors, history, biograph
ical sketches, art, poetry und
music, furnishes food for his
active and vigorous miud; in
fact, for sociality and geuiality
ho has few equals. With the
ambition of his grand-father, 1
am sure he will make his chosen
avocation a success. Of such
young meu 1 take pleasure in
giving a word of encouragement,
To sum up, Guy is an all-round,
tip-top good fellow.

ABOUT THE CAINS POST
OFFICE.
A CARD DINED UV 95 OF THE
CITIZENS,
Enrnni Herald:— ln the
News of the 15th i list., appeared
a card from Mr. L. 11. Burell,
the recently appointed post
master at Cains, replying to
what he calls “the heavy-weight
writer from Cams.” Wo ars
not responsible for anything
ti ll anybody else has written
about tin matter but we desire
to correct some statements that
Mr. Bi rell has made and to
make s une other statements
that Mr. Burell nor nobody elsi
can successfully deny. We are
not complaining at the nppoint
ment . f anybody as post mas
ter, It is the removal of the
fiice from the place where it
was first established end where
s st l ml for years and wa‘
nost convenient to us nil.
Tiie ofii lias been moved at
U o-i o> mile as marked by tin
nil ' po-ts on Gainesville road
Mr. lAt fell knows this as well a
lovhody and yet he intimates
■lit it is just a little over a
niart r. It is true that it was
known that an effort was being
made to move the office some
t ime before it was done. It h
ilso true that a protest against
removal was forwarded from
this office to the Poetoflice Do
pnftnieiit, signed by sixty or
seventy of the patrons of the
iffiee The presumption is that
Mr. llurdl would not admit
that they weroeither “leading
or influential” citizens.
Winn !n ror not that protest
iivcr n ocl d the Department
we have no means of knowing,
>r if it Wi nt there, why it was
disro'Mr-led we do not know.
Mr, Bui' II says “the majority
oiil: oil mens are plvased.” If
In in ly that that a major
ity of the citizens who patronize
t. post dice at Cains are well
ph used w ith the removal of the
office, then we emphatically de
iy ii nnd demand the proof.
The pusl office was established
heie, where the road from
Winder to Buford crosses the
road from Lawreuceville to
Gainesville. It has been moved
at least one mile up the Gaines
ville road, against the w ishes, as
we believe, of every man, wo
■ nun and child on all the other
roads.
Of course a few people up the
Gainesville road around Mr.
But ell may have signed his pe
tition for removal, but lie cer
tainly will not pretend that he
i had a majority of tho patrons
of tho office on his list by their
j consent.

INDIAN Si M.MER DAYS.
There is a tender sadness in
these day j.
Fur deep t ihan 1 lie spell
that autumn traces
Upon the hill* and through the
woodland wavs;
My eyes gnw dim as through
•the purple haze
Of mene ry dawns the vision
of lost faces.
Aud on the drow sy, mellow, sun
kissed air
The rustling sound of dead
leaves lightly falling
Recall past autumn days as
bright and fair,
When touch of hands and subtle
tones were there
Whose haunting echoes seem
fuiiit voici s culling.
And now, perchance, within
this autumn’s hush
Nature herself grows pensive
and ' eim tubers
Those bygone days, when tender
memories rush
Into the heart, like gentle winds
that brush
The whitened ashes from the
glowing embers.
And as I tree! alone the fallow
fields
I know that silent footsteps
full b side me;
I feel it is the unseen presence
wields
The subtle -adness that the au
tumn yields
' Unto my heart for huppincss
denied me.
Aud nature, too, may have a
weary heart
Despite tl glory of her wood
luml |>u-sis;
It may be 'hut a little way
apart
She mourns uncomforted the
win-'tun art
Of summer dead amid the
tungt l gi asses.
And this tin reason thut tier

Are lint" a with mystio grief

Her broodm inn shows under-

Thut, want iii-liko, she uses for

If there be some weaker one, *

If a blinder soul there be,
Let me guide him nearer Thee.

Peace that dearer is than joy;

Annie—How did you do it?
I found it hard enough to earn

Annie—A missionary bed?
What is that? Something for

AN INCIDENT IN ROCKY
MOUNTAIN LIFE.
I'OUOIt NEWSPAPER EXEPBIENOE,
AND A HERO TO MATCH IT.
When William N. Byres, the
Colorado pioneer of journalism
started iti to print the “Rocky
Mountain News,” he had a
pretty tough time of it, and ex
periences lively enough to suit
a Ure ludian agent.
One day the friends of a gam
dler. whom he had criticised,
were going to kill him. Byers
was plucky enough, for ho ran
for his office, and arming all
bauds, laid low for the enemy,
who came last enough, and a
lively combat took place and
one man was killed.
It was just about this time
that the Hon. Joseph Wolff, of
Boulder. Colorado, who was a
good printer and a handy man
about an office, arrived in town
from Omaha via a freight train.
He was dead broke, and made
at once for the “News” office
and asked for the boss. Byers,
seated on a barrel, was pointed
out t<> him.
“Want any hands?” asked
Joe, leaning against the door.
“That depends,” said Byers,
! without looking up,
“Depends on what?”
“Can you shoot?”
“You bet.”
“Will you?”
“Of course.”
“Well, then,” said the editor
getting off the barrel, “here’s
a rifle and there is acase go to
work.”
•‘What’ll Ido first,” asked
Wolff; “kill somebody or throw
in a case?”
Byers went to the window,
leaned well out, looked up and
down carefully, aud then turn
ing back,said:
“1 guess yc u will have time
to throw in a handful.”
Just about this time tbo offi
ce was in a state of seige. and
to write and print what Byers
wrote and printed at that time
required a greater amount of
moral courage, or what is more
commonly called nerve, than is
possessed by journalist of the
present day.
Many threats were made, aud
more than one combat took
place, hut the editor came out
ahead.—Press aud Printer.
