—The Americus Republican says that
old negress named Liaha Jarkson, now liv
ing in Sumter county, is said to be 118
years old. Her hair is as white as wool and
tbe facial muscles clearly bear the irapi
of extreme old age. We suppose there are
at least five thousand old negro daddies and
mammas in the south who range, by their
own accounts, from 100 to 150 years of age.
And yet they were all born in slavery
times, when the colored people were worked
to death. Make a note of that, Mr. Wen
dell Phillips.
—We regret to learn of the death of Mr.
George R. Robertson, formerly book-keeper
of the Savannah News, which occurred at
his residence in Savannah last Thursday.
Mr. Robertson was one of tbe most genf '
gentlemen we have ever.known, lie w_
affectionate to hi* friends and gentle to all.
He was possessed of that true nobility *
soul which gives men the courage either
face danger or to suffer in patience. To his
lot fell the last. Peace to his ashes.
—Griffin News: A negro whose name we
did not learn was killed m Jonesboro Wed
nesday night. Tbe facts as we gathered
them are abont as follows: Early on Thurs
day morning he was found thirty or thirty-
five yards from his home, dead. Upon ex :
ami nation, it was found that he had been
shot in the breast. It was supposed that
aome one shot at him in his house, and he
ran out to where he was found, and fell
dead. This conclusion woe reached from
the fact that he uas in the habit of doing
the churning as his wife is hired out as a
cook, and he had the churn daslier in his
hand when ho was found. It is believed he
was shot while churning.
—Mr. David Dickson, the big Hancock
farmer, has this to say shout the fence law:
"To change public opinion on Ure fence law
in the regions of middle Georgia, where it
M most needed, let every land owner put
his fence on the boundary lines, thoec on
opposite aides of a line dividing the line,
one making half the fence, putting his half
on his own side of the line, then cross with
one ]«nel of the fence to the line,
and tbe other one building the other
half of the fence on his side of the line, and
so on, with as many persons as you join,
until all th«* land i* fenced; then there will
be a surplus of mils left to fence off slot’*
pasture on each tract. This plan will soon
bring about the desired change, as there will
be no land unfenerd to use Li common.
Then you can get the vote for unfenced
crops and fenced stock, and at the same time
improve morals by prelecting every person
in his own rights, and allow none to depre
date.
—Macon Telegraph: From several vis
itors from Craw ford county we learn of the
••jit-* 1 * Mr. A. II. Murchison. of that
which occurred the night of the 28th
ultimo. It appears that on that day Mr.
Murchison furnished, according to agree
ment, a horse to a colored farmer mimed
Green Thurman, who was to furnish a bug
gy, and that they would proceed from their
neighborhood to Knoxville, seven or eight
miles distant, and return. The parties
named were seen in Knoxville together and
were also seen in the buggy on their return
near the residence oi Thurman. On
the morning of the 2>h, about 9
o’clock, a colored woman discovered the
body of Murchison, frozen andjin a most
mangled condition. Jibe gave the alarm,
and summoned some of the people in the
neighborhood. The first to arrive was Mr.
John Harrison, win* found the body lifeless
and weltering in blood. On examination,
tbe body was found to contain nineteen
oosing out, tire skull being fractured into
fragments. Suspicion was immediately
1 against Thurman, his two sobs ami
blood upon tr were found among some cot
ton seed on Thurman’s premises, it was
discovered that Thurman was wounded
in the shoulder by a pistol shot.
One of tbe other negroes admitted
that there had been a fight between Murch
ison and Thurman, and that tbe former
shot the latter. Tbe parties bad been drink
ing freely. On their arrival at Thurman’s
n tbe deceased insisted on being driven

were about a half of a mil* off; that Thur
man refused to comply, and a fight ensued.

Constitution. We have endeavored during
the past year briefly to encourage you in
your calling, and to throw oat hints that
could be made useful to you. A number
of you. we are gratified to write, bad some
thing to say; many of yon gave os valuable
informa ion. We trust that during tbe

and ’’gift enterprise" schemes; friends of
the late "dollar store'* under the Grand
Central hotel; dealers in watches and all

dence and cupidity of the virtuous
countrymen who liave held forth in New
York daring the pest ten years, made an
assignment yesterday for the benefit
of their creditors to Hamilton Fish
Burl nett. The Ann is historic
in the newspapers. They carried out
their schemes with great boldness and en
ergy, and these were so carefully devised
that they always managed to keep within
the law. They came here from Cincinnati
about a dozen years ago, and first came into
public notoriety with the *‘ sawdust game.”
Then there were headquarter* at No.
Broadway and hundreds of offices In
various parte of the city from which the
country was flooded with circulars. For
several years somebody reaped a har
vest, the receipts amounting to hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. When this
“bonanza” was stopped by the |*>lice and
the postal authorities their agents attended
to “Milton gold” and rented a large store on
Broadway for $1,000 a month to display
their watches and jewelry. This "gold*’
proved profitable for several months and
then it was abandoned, but the agents con
tinued to advertise it both as "Milton” and
other gold until recently. It was all the
time worth its weight in hnun or nearly.
In the meantime the "Dollar Store” ws'
opened—the first of its kind in this city—
and it had an immense ran of custom ’for

TRURTO HIMSXLV.
Successful farming requires care, atten
turn, looking after and economy, more so
now than formerly. The pood farmer will
keep an ere on everything about his place
from which manure can be manufactured.
He should collect the leaves from his
woods, stalks and weeds from his field*, the
muck from bottoms and fence-corners, the
trash from the yards and hog-pens, stables,
lot*, sheep-shed* and cow-stalls, all should
furnish tlitir part of the manure heap. If
farmers do not care or think enou h of
their stock to furnish them with shelter,
then they should confine them in small lot*
at night and have the manure scraped up.
Timber is becoming an item in some lo-
_ all ties now, yet numbers of our fannei
hew and hack their woodlands witliout -
thought of the future or who is to occupy
the land after them.
In a ride several miles in the country -
short time since, we noticed on some farms
tools hanging on trees, wagons and carts,
exposed to the weather, and vegetables go
ing to waste. How much such farmers are
standing in tlicir own light. Nothing
should be neglected or lost on a farm. Tools,
wagons and farm implements, when not in
use, should be cleaned and greased and put
under shelter. If cabbage and other vege
tables can not be kept, feed them to the
“*lg® *nd cows. Utilize every article either
w food or manure.
One or two correspondents have written
us stating that their orchards did not bear
well the past season and ask for some inf*
(nation.
Perhaps these orchards have not been
properly cultivated and looked after, and
they were doub;* *s neglected. Sometimes
it is beneficial to break up tbe old sod, to
remove by drains the stagnant water. Some-
times too top dressing is desirable. Fruit
trees require feeding if exneceed to do well.
We have noticed in orchard* sometimes,
that the learesjonk yellow, and the frees d«i
not appear thrifty; in such case the sod
should be taken up and some cultivated crop
be planted. When this is done the orchard
should be lily rally fertilized.

The firm has recently been negotiating
with its creditors for an extension, but was

nOKSK FEED.
A Macon drayman writes, asking
a good feed f«»r his hor*c. We have some
times noticed draymen feeding their horses
exclusively on com; we cannot Itelieve that
this is altogether best. Our advice hi the
Macon drayman is to give a mixed ration
of corn and ootf ground, and feed with cut
hay, slightly wetted. This will keep the
horse in good condition, fine health, and en
able him to do excellent work. At this
season of the year the proportion of the corn
and oats should be two-tnirds ir. bulk
oorameal to one-third in bulk
ground oats; through the summer months
reveree the proportkma. Various street rail-
wav companies in France and Austria,
full and satisfactory experiment* have been
made, and the result ascertained is, that
Inures fed exclusively on corn have not the
endurance of those fed upon a mixture of
com and oats.

WIXTEXIXG COWS.
Not far from the room of the writer can
be seen a fine cow standing in the street.
She is not in good condition; is rarely pro
tected from the weather; rather poorly fed,
yet will give birth to a calf in the spring,
and is expected to yield a sufficiency of
milk for tbe family. How can she do it
with such ungenerous treatment? She
should have every attention and the best
care. She will not only hare to supply tbe
want of her own system through the win
ter. but in addition must supply nutriment
for tbe growth of her coming colt
Take core of your cows, especially if you
expect them to l-e milkers in the spring.
Give them food rich in albuminoid ele
ments—they need replenishing of their
muscular system. Com meal alone does
not answer—it is too hi
with good clover or hay. When dry, oats
are excellent food for cows, as they are rich
uarie-forming matter. Wheat bran
and straw makes > very good feed. Not
lly attend to feeding them, but also pro-
de.them with comfortable stalls.
CRUEL.
During the past two weeks we have had
terrible cold weatber in Atlanta—old citi
zen* say the coldest we have had for years—
and yet during this time we saw cows
drawn up beside fences or picking a living
around shop and store doors on the streets.
Out in the country, while farmers were
seated by hickory wood fires or sleeping
under extra blankets, their cows were she
ering out in barren fields or curled up
the Ice side of a rail fence. Poor cows;
good pastures, slop* and other food, with
shelter, should have made their blood full
of warmth, but unprotected from the
weather and miserably fed their blood is
so thin that the extraordinary cold cuts
them like a knife. Cows thus treated give
but little milk and do not get enough to
eat to maintain the necessary animal heat
inport life The fanner who would
leave h» stock to the cruel mercies of the
E sc two weeks’ wind* and cold and sleet,
s a right to expect miserable-looking
stock afflicted with catarrh ami coughs and
other disorders. To make horses, cows,
sheep and hog* profitable they should be
gin the winter in good order, and they
should be kept so; if not the fanner must
expect a shnnkage in his egg product, in
lit* dairy, his smoke-house, and from all
combined, in his pocket.
FARM NOTES.
—Clean and oil the farm implements and
put them under cover.
—What are your cattle doing this cutting
weather—are they curled up in some fence
corner?
—Hides, horns, hoofs, bones, leaves,
trash, should all be gathered up, there is
money in them.
—Cotton-seed and turnips will fatten
sheep, and cause them to produce strong
manure.
—Do not keep inferior animals; there
no money in them, but breed from thor
ough bred males; then the value of the an
imal will greatly increase.
—Two quarts of wheat bran, one quart of
com meal, mixed with tepid water, a
teaspormfnl oi salt, and fed twice a day,
will make the old cow happy and cause an
extra yield of milk.
—If your chicken have the cholera, give
them wet food for a few days, well stirred
into one feed a teaspoonful of powdered
charcoal, and so alternate the food for about
three days.
—A small daily allowance of oats to the
sheep, a ta«te of meal to the calves, a few
ears of coin to the cows, a feed of oats to the
colls, and charred corn to the chickens, and
comfortable shelter to all, will help along
greatly this weather.
TIME.
yards everr day, but use a plenty of litter
to keep a dry bed. Ground plaster will pre
vent any smell from the bed.
—Take care of the boires and cows this
weather. Feed them regularly. For some
days past stock o all kinds are better un
dershelter, protected from the weather.
—Keep gotxl stock for pork, and try [pro
duce meat as cheaply os possible. In rais
ing bogs, among other things, have pigs
heavy enough for pork without wintering
over.
—Keen milking cows dry and clea
their stalls this chilly weather, and give
them a little extra food. A few quarts of
ground oats or bran, stirred in the water in
tbe drinking troagh3,will increase the milk
In conversing with a fanner a few days
since, we found him quite dejected, baring
neglected every other crop but cotton, and
that baviog been sold at so low a sum;'he
had no money .

as we have before, do not try to catch up

way and Twenty-second street, tbe real vol-
®e of which, oat of tbe hands of the firm,
it will be difficult to determine. The mem
bers of the firm sav their embarrassment is
only temporary, and that they expect to
obtain a compromise from their creditors,
from many of whom they have bought

well-rotted manure. The potato eves were
planted about one foot apart/ ®tWM with
straw and a light covering of soil. When
the plants apj*-ared some two Indies above

immediately after a rain, a heavy coating of
leave* were spread all over the ground.
Some use hog hair in planting their potatoes,

dropped some twelve indies apart.

"But. general,” interrupted the Gazette,
"to say nothing of who may or may not
have been the chief hero of tne Fort Pillow
fight, was there any ‘massacre’ of federal
soldiers after the surrender?”
"None whatever,” returned the ex-con-
fed., with emphasis. "In the first place,
there was no massacre, either after the sur
render, or before the surrender or during
the surrender; and, in the second place,
there was no surrender at Fort Pillow at
all.”
"Well,” said the reporter, "that is a new
rase of the question. Hoar do you make
- rat out? And, by the way, would you ob
ject to giving to the world, in this inter
view, a ‘boiled-down* history of the matter
from your stand-point?”
"Not at all” replied the honorable gen
tleman: "but I must be brief. It was in
April, 1861—the 12th of the month, I think
—that Fort Pillow, occupied by a large gar
rison of negroes and deserters from our ar
mies, together with a number of regular
respectable federal soldiers, was surrounded
bv General Forrest, I being iu command.
The fort being closely invested, and per
fectly untenable, General Forrest made for
mal demand for tbe surrender, adding that
he wished toavoid the unnecessary shading
of blood, and that in the event of a surren
der, all its garrison should be protected ami
treated a* prisoners of war. (See
Rebellion Records, Document 8, page 24.)
After an unusual delay, an answer was re
ceived, bearing the signature of Major
Bootli, commanding, asking an hour more
for consultation with the gunboat*. To
this General Forrest replied that he had not
demanded a surrender of any gunboat, but
only of the fort and garrison^ and relating
his original demand, giving twenty minutes
foT a reply. Bear in mind, a* was atter-
ward plainly sliown. all tbistime was being
consumed, by the federals in getting the
gunboats into position, thus perpetrating a
gross military fraud. Besides, it is a mat
ter of history that, pending the negotiations
for a surrender, steamers were seen as
cending the river, one of then crowded
with troops, and bearing directly for
the beleaguered fortress. Up to this
point, on which side does the bad
faith appear? After several hours of vexa
tious quibbling, we received a positive re
fusal to capitulate. Then followed the as
sault and the carrying of the works—all of
which, from the bugle signal to the firingof
the last gun, did not occupy over twenty
minutes, according to my impression, while
General Forrest held that it was not over
fifteen minutes.’
tiUt
General C.—As I said before, there was no
surrender—hence the low meanness of the
S ersistcnt charge "murder after the surren
er.”. The nr
ford, in anticipation of his works being car
ried, had arranged with Captain Marshall
of the gunboat, that the garrison should
drop down under the bank where the gun
boat could shelter them, or, in the language
of Captain Marshall himself, "give the rebels
canister.” To show you that tills is no
“rebel lie,” see Captain Marshall’s testi
mony taken before the federal congressional
committee, rebel records, doc. 8, page 58.
Reporter—It does look that wav, su
enough, to an impartial spectator. Indc*
the charge of massacre of "surrendered sol
diers” begins to melt into very thin air.
General C.—So far from there being any
surrender, the garrison evidently thouglit
they were leading us to that holocaust of
canister which Major Bradford and Captain
Marshall had prepared for them. When we
chaiged over their works they (the federal
soldiers) received their pre-arranged signal,
and en nrasse, whiteand black, with gu
hand, broke for the place of refuge, iei
their Hag still,flying. It never came do-
all until General Forrest, with his'
hand, cut the halyards. During this time,
with their flag still flying, the garrison
seeking shelter of the gunboat, to whose
feast of canister they were leading the
rebels and repeatedly returning the fire
(this is federal testimony!) quite a
number were killed and wounded.

AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, in
cases of Ague and Fever, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a fair trial.
For all bilious derangements, and
as a simple purgative, they are un

BEWARE OF raiTATIOXS.
The genuine are never sugar coated.
Every box has a red wax seal on the
lid, with the impression Dr, McLake’s

The genuine McLane’s Liver Pills
bear the signatures of C. McLane and
