The Great Heed of Georgia.
From theOuthbert Liberal.
As long as the Mg plantation, with
its tenants working “on halves,” or
renting for one year is kept up, so
long will the - south be dependent up
on the west for its .meat and bread.
The hope of the south agriculturally
speaktug, is in small farms. But no
exclusively agricultural country or
section can loug be independent. Di
versified industries areas essential to
the success of a people as are di
versified crops to the-success of an in
dividual farmer. As long as every
dollar made on our faroi Is spent in
uying more tu tiles/land, meat, corn, j
nd farming implements, <>r invested j
in merchandise, so long will our peo
pie be at the mercy of tvjteculutors and
monopolists. We need manufactories
and the laborers who oia-rate them to j
consume our surplus farm products at j
borne. There are numbers of indue-
tries that could be made profitab n
the south. In fact there is not a ■
known industry that could not be |
made proti table liere.

Married Eighty Years.
There is living st Lac Qui Parle,
Yellow Bank, township, Minn , the
■oldest married couple in the world.
Daniel Salisbury was born 1011 years
ago, the year the colonial government
first drafted a plan for tlie govern
uient of the territory of the United
States northwest of the Ohio. Re
cently be celebrated bis birth day,
and, as in all these years his friends
and relatives have largely increased
and multiplied, In spite of tlie scythe
of Fattier time, which lias mown
down all his earllsr associates, the
celebration was largely attended and
was an occasion of great jolity.
Father Salisbury, who still retains
bis faculties and even his keen love
for a joke, was assisted in receiving
the guests by tlie lady who had been
the partner of bis joys and sorrows
for the past four-score years come
next January. He was a big gawky
youth of ,23 when he led her to tlie
altar, and she was a blooming wo
man of 80. When the cracked village
bell rang for the ceremony that morn
ing the population of die United
States was only 7 239,881.
Until three years ago the venerable
couple, both of whom are ill the best
of health And spirits, liyed alone in a
comfortable log house on the Yellow
Bank river, in Lac Qui Parle county,
when they were induced to live with
their nearest relatives at this point.
Hext week Mrs. Salisbury will have a
birthday celebration. She has lost
the tiuiiuity of the aex as to the roll of
the ages, and states with pride that
on Wednesday she will be 110.
For their age they are both won
derful in their energy and vitality.
A year ago, on his 102d birthday
Father Salisbury saw a hawk attack a
hen. Hegot his old flint-lock musket
and shot the tiawk as it was flying
away witli its prey, saving the hen
and killing the hawk. Ou his 100th
biithday he walked seven miles to
Bellingham and hack home the same
day.
AGood Woid for Wigs.
Freni the New Yoib Sun.
"The bald heads ought to wear wigs
or periwigs as they used to do in old
timeN in Europe and even in this coun
try,” sh>.- ilie' learned barber. ‘‘A
flue wig would improve their appear
ance and make them look far younger
than thev do with hare pates. Wigs
can l>e made to fit any liertd very 1
neatly, and to look as "ell as the j
natural hair. They were worn by
the bald headed E: yptians and Ro
macs, and in later limes by bald-
heads hIi over Europe as well as our I
bald-loaded foreiathers liere in
America. They can he made of '
natural hair or silk and of any color
to suit the wearer. I advise you as
your scalp ha* tost its locks to get a
line wig, and you "ill soon see how
ji.u vill he admired by Hie ladies,”
said tlie lean ed barber toa bald-head

Doggie l'ml no stood French.
A stall, well built young man lounged
into (the Colonnade burlier shop a day
or two ago, closely follower! by a sleek,
intelligent Italian greyhound. The
man took his place in a chair and the
dog quietly reclined on the floor near
by. The barber stopped to pat the
graceful creature and Jocularly said,
“Th'tapavth’mahrnin to yez. Rover.”
The dog cocked his ears and looked
inquiringly at his master. The latter
observed:
"Ze doggie do not speak Angles.
He’s a Parisian." Then he looked at
his pet ami continued, "Bon jour, Bap
tist. ”
The greyhound very enthusiastically
whacked his tail upon the floor and re
plied to liis master’s salutation hv a
low, throat like gurgle of satisfaction.
‘‘('an lie do any thrieksf” asked4ho
barber, pausing in his work.
“Certainly,” replied the young
Frenchman, still speaking in broken
English. “Tell him to roll over. ”
The barber did so, but the dog mere
ly remained quiet, and a worried, anx
ious expression spread over his face.
Then his master repeated the command
in French, and the graceful jK*t, with a
short hark of pleasure, at once rolled
over and over.
Tho barber told khu to ait up, to
etiaege, to shulke hands, etc., but dog
gie could not understand until his own
er repeated tho suggestions in his nn-
tivo tongue.
As iKitii left tho shop the liarber shook
his head doubtfully. “Next," he called
out, and then added in an undertone,
"It's niesilf as must goto Parts*. Sure

WEDDED AFTER THIRTY YEARS.
A Story of Kent Life In Which Figures
tlie Letter That Shyer Came.
"I have seen descriptions of a good
many swell weddings,” said the colonel
from Virginia, "but I was present at a
quiet, simple ceremony over in George
town t hat was to those who knew about
it a genuine romance. Tlie marriage
of the Rev. Ilr. J. Henry Davis and
Miss Annie A. Hunter at Christ church,
in Georgetown, by the Rev. Dr. Htehe
art, is no fairy tale.
"Over thirty years ago Annie Hunter
was a pretty, roil cheeked maid, be
longing to a well known Virginia
family. That was lreforo the war, when
the hospitable Virginia planters kopt
open house, and when a house foil of
guests was au every day occurrence.
Annie Hunter happened to be visiting
at the house of her Ijosohi friend during
a Presbyterian convention in tho vil
lage. The ministers were scattered
about at the different houses, and
among the guests at this particular
mansion was a young theological stu
dent who had just passed hiu examina
tion for the ministry, and tile brilliancy
of liis examination was tlie talk of the
whole country round about. He wm
as lumdsoine us he was bright. He re
mained long enough to become quite
fascinated with pretty Annie Hunter
ind for her friend to be greatly taken
with him. Neither of the*#* facts was
known, however, antiUlotcr.
A week or so aftor his departure
Annie Hunter received a letter from
tho young minister. U was a groat
surprise to tho-girl, for while it did udt
contain a proposal exactly, it was so
worded as to mean that, if replied to
in a similar spirit. It took MLss Hun
ter only about two days to realize that
site was really in- lore with tho liand-
sonio young man, and sho proceeded
to write a reply. While engaged in the
pleasant task her intimate friend en
tered Annie’s room.
‘Oh, you are writing a letter, An
nie ?’ site said. ‘Well, I*iu going to
tho village and will mail it for you.’
‘Never mind,' said Annie. ‘I won’t
trouble you, but will send it by the
post bov.’
But her friend insisted, and tho re
sult was that tlie fair letter writer
sealed her missive and intrusted it to
her friend's care.
"Site know about wiiut day to ex
pect an answer, and when that day had
passed and no letter eaiuc, and then
months followed weeks, tlie girl felt
much chagrined, but her pride prevent
ed her from telling any owe of her
trouble. Sho endeavored to banish the
memory of her fickle lover. Tho whole
thing was a secret for soveral years,
when a mutual lriund told the disap
pointed girl that tlie letter had been
destroyed by Ivor bosom companion, to
whom she hud intrusted it. Annie
could not and would not believe it, but
when several yours later the same false
friend prevented what would luive
been a happy marriage with another
suitor she could doubt no longer.
“Klio never told her secret, though,
and it was only years afterward that
the family know the story. Tho young
minister was called to a thriving city,
became prominent and popular, and in
tho course of years married. All this
Annie Hunter heard from time to time,
and could not help thinking what Iter
lot might have been. She was still
very attractive, aud before she reached
middle life received numerous offers of
marriage. Site was engaged more titan
once, but the engagements all came to
nothing.
“There was a Presbyterian conven
tion in Winchester recently, which was
attended by the Rev. Dr. Davis, a
more than middle aged minister. He
hoard in some way that Annie Hunter
was in tlie neighborhood, and wrote a
polite note asking permission to call to
renew an old friendship. The request
was granted. Tin* minister came. Ho
did not find the pretty girl who won
his heart over thirty years ago, but his
old love was reawakened. Annie then
learned for tho first time that he was a
widower, and ho laamod for tho first
time of the letter that never came. It
didn't take long for them to come to an
understand lug. ”—Wasliingtou Star.

youngest brother was killed in July,
1861. 1 was assured while there that
there have been but few changes in the

in the railroad cut, are easily discov

stumps still stand as mute witnesses of

The New York Financial Chronicle

“There is no longer any question
about the fact of a substantial ease

are likely to make money market

active crop-moving demand sets in.”
