It Is gratifying to know that our mer

have sustained the farmers through the

by letting them have supplies for inal'lng
their crops, and now the farmers are pay

proper appreciation of favors extended.
With their food supplies made at home
this year, they aro In a far bettor condi

years; and though cotton Is low, it is now
no oppression to pay a large part of their
old debts. Wo hope they will repeat the
oxportment of food-making next year;
and to sow abundantly now is tho first
step to be taken in that direction.

“Or You Don’t Got Avay otut I Honor*
You Olid.''
from tho Biullugtou Hawkejro.j
Tho Hawlteyc has just got into its new
editorial room, and It Is proud to say that
It has the finest, most oomfortuble, com
plete, and convoulent editorial rooms In
America. They are llnishod off with a lit
tle Invention which will be of untold value
to tho profession of journalism whon It is
generally adopted, und wn know that it
will rapidly come into universal use us
soon as Its merits are understood and ap
preciated. Wo believe that It is fully
equal. In all that the term Implies to the
famous Bogardess Kicker, loss liable to
get out of order, and less easily detected
by casual visitors. It Is known ns “Mld
dlerlb’s Automatic Welcome.” The sanc
tum Ison tho same floor as tho news room,
being separated from It by a partition, in
which Is cut a largo window’ easily open
ed by an automatic arrangement. The
editor’s tabio is placod in front of that
window and near tho head of the stairs,
aud on the side of tho table next the win
dow, directly opposite tho oditor, tho vis
itor’s chair Is placed. It has an inviting
look about It, and its entiro appearance
lsgulleloss and common place. But the
strip of Hoor on which that chair rests is
a deception and a fraud. It is an endless
chain, like the floor of a horse powor, and
Is operated at will by tho editor, who has
merely to touch a spring in the floor to
sot It In motion. Its operation can best be
understood by personal inspection.
Yesterday morning about ton o’clock,
Mr. Bostwlck came in with a funny story
to tell. He naturally Hopped down into
the chair that had the strongest appear
ance of belonging to sorao one else, and
began his usual happy vein; ‘T’vo got the
richest thing—oh! ha, ha, ha!—the boat
thing—oh, by George! I can't—oh! ha,
ha, ha! Oh! it’s too good! Oh! by
George, the richest thing! Oh! it’s too
loud! You must never toll where you
got—oh, by George! I can’t do It! It’s too
good! You know—oh, ha, ha, ha, oh, ho,
ho, he! You know the—oh, by George, I
ca—” Here the editor touched the spring,
a nail grab under the bottom of the chair
reached swiftly up and caught Mr. Bost
wick by the cushion of his pants, the win
dow flew up and the noiseless belt of floor
gliding on Its course bore the astonished
Mr. Bostwlck through tho window outinto
the news room, half way down to the
cases, where he was received with great
applause by the delighted compositors.
The window had slapped down os soon os
he passed through, and when the editorial
foot was withdrawn from tho spring and
tho chair stopped and the nail grab re
sumed its accustomed place, young Mr
Bostwick found himself so kind of out of
tho sanctum, like it might be, that he wont
6lowly and dejectedly down tho stairs, as
it were, while amazement sat upon his
brow.
The next casual visitor was Mr. J.
AlexisFlaxetor, tho critic. He had a copy
of tho Haweye in his hand, with all the ty
pographical errors marked in red Ink,
and his face was so wreathed in smiles
that it was Impossible to toil whero his
eyes began. Ho took the vacant chair
and spread the paper out boforo him, cov
ering up the editor’s manuscript. “My
keen vision and delicate sense of accura
cy," he said, “aro the greatest crosses of
my life. Things that you never see are
mountains in my sight. Now here, you
see is—.” The spring clicked softly like
an echo to the impatient movement of the
editor’s foot, the nail-grab took hold like
a bull-dog helping a Burlington trouba
dour over the garden fence, the chair shot
back through the window like a meteor,
and the window c&uie down with a slam
that sounded like a wooden giant getting
off the shortest bit of profanity known to
man; and all was silent again. Mr. Flax
otor sat very close to tho frosted window,
staring blankly at the clouded glass, see
ing nothing that could offer any explina
tlon of what he would have firmly believ
ed was a land slide, had he not heard the
editor, sate In his guarded den, softly
whistling: “We shall meet but wo shall
miss him.’’
Then there was a brief interval oPqulet
in tho sanctum and rustling of raiment
was heard on the stairs. A lovely
woman entered and stood unawed
in the editorial presence. The
E. P., on its part, was rather nervous
and uncomfortable. The lovely woman
seated herself in the fatal chair. She
slapped her little gripsack on the table
and opened her little subscription book.
She said: "I am soliciting cash contribu
tions—strictly, exclusively, and peremp
torily cash contributions—to pay off the
church debt and buy an organ for the Mis
sion Church of the Forlorn Strangers, and
I expect ” These are times when oc
casion demands great effort. The editor
bowed his head and, after one brief spasm
of romorse, felt for tho secrect springs.
The window went up like a charm; the
reckless nail-grab hung back for a second,
as if held by a feeling of innate delicacy,
and thon it shut its eyes and smothered
its pity, and reached up and took a death
like hold on a roll of able and influential
newspapers and a network of string and
tape, and tho cavalcade backed out into
the newsroom wilh colors flying. The
chair stopped right before the familiar
spirit who was washing the forms, and as
the lovely woman gazed at the inky face
she shrieked “Merciful heavens, where
am I?” and was borno down the gloomy
stairway unconscious, while tho printers
whose cases were nearest the wicked win
dow heard the editor singing, as it might
bo to himself, “Dearest sister, thou hast
left us.”
An hour of serenity and tranquility in
the editorial room was broken by a brisk,
business-like step on the stairs; the door
flew open with a bang that shot the key
half way across the room, and a sociable
looking, familiar kind of a stranger
jammed into the chair, slapped his hat
over the inkstand, pushed a pile of proofs,
twenty pages of copy, a box of pens, the
paste cup and a pair of scissors off the
table to make room for the old familiar
flat sample case, and said in one brief
breath: “I am agent for Gamberton’s
Popular Centennial World’s History and
American Citizen's Treasuro Book of Val
uable Information sold only by subscrip
tion and issued in monthly parts whole
work complete in thirty parts each num
ber embellished with one handsome steel
plate engraving and numerous beautifully
executed wood cuts no similar work has
ever been published in this country and at
tho exceedingly low price at which it is
offered only two dollars per vol ” Tho
spring clicked like a pistol shot, tho win
dow went up half way through the ceil
ing, the nail-grab took hold like a three
barreled harpoon, and the column moved
on its backward way through the window,
down through the news-room, past the
foreman—standing grim and silent by the
Imposing stone—past the eases, vocal with
the applause, encouraging and consola
tory remarks of the compositors—on to
the alley windows, over the sills, howling,
yelling, shrieking, praying, the unhappy
agent was hurled fp the cruel pavement,
three stories below, where he lit on his
; head, and plunged through into a cellar,
where he tried to get a subscription out of
j a inau who was shoveling coal.
| .Hurried Eight Year* anil Thru sepa
rating llmiuar or Prniiiiw
Marriage.
From tlio Davenport Gazette. J
A now case was ontered on the docket of
the District Court, now In session. It was
entitled “B. B. Babcock against Fannie
Bvboock.” It seemed to bo un urgent cose,
for Judge Hayes heard It last evening at
chambers and disposed of it.
It appears that eight years since Miss
Fannie Hurd and Mr. Babcock were united
In marriage. The bride was highly re
spected by her acquantanccs, and well
known here as a music teacher. Four
years of happy wedded life passed,
aud then the wife, Impelled by consci
ence, confided a troublesomo secret, to
tho husband. Years before her union
with him she was the wife of a man in
Pennsylvania; no clergyman nor jus
tloe had officiated at that marriage—tho
two promised each other to be true to
each other, live as husband and wife, made
vows as solemn as though a preacher had
joined them, and kept house and lived as
a married couple, and were respected as
such by thoir relatives and the helghbor
hood. After some years the husband went
away, and then the wife came West. What
troubled her was the fact that she became
the wife of Mr. Babcock without having
been legally divorced from her first hus
band, who was still living, and without
informing Mr. Babcock of the facts. She
made her confession, as stated, four years
ago, and during the period since, until
recently, Mr. Babcock made no motion of
consequence for separation; in fact a
child—their second one—has been born to
them during this period. But lately both
parties have becomo impressed with the
Idea that tboy were not doing right in
living together, their consciences were
burdened, and they felt that separation
was the only course allowable. Judge
Hayes heard the facts in the case. He
made himself sure that the poor, sorrow
ing woman was perfectly free in her as
sent to tho proceeding instituted; ques
tioned her thoroughly. She had implicit
confidence In her husband, and felt just as
he did about it. So the Judge granted a
decree declaring the marriage of Mr.
Babcock and Miss Hurd a nullity on ac
count of previous marriage of the lady,
which had never been set aside—one child
to be retained by the father and the other
by the mother. The proceedings were not
instituted for tho purpose of obtaining a
divorce from tho previous husband and
then re-marriage, for the separation is
intended to bo final.
Heath of Mr. Charles A. Shiver*.
The friends of the above-named young
gentleman were surprised and pained,
yesterday, by the receipt of intelligence
from Macon that ho had died at six o’clock
that morning. Almost every one hore,
knew and liked Charley Shivers. He was
raised here, and raised by honored pa
rents, who still live here, and on whom his
death falls with a fearful weight. Within
the last three years Charley is the third
child they have been called on to bury and
to mourn; two still aro left to them, but
both reaido In a far distant State, where
their sympathies can relieve but little the
darkness that surrounds the natal home
stead.
The subject of this notice has been for
several years past engaged in business in
Macon, and was about thirty-live j’oars
of age.
