Educated Men.
Iu the great city of New York, and
other cities, men of flue oduontinn find
if bitterly liiud lo keep themself in
bruul mill butter. While a skilled
workman can always command good
wages, those who are 'willing to do
anything'—which means that they
know how to do little or nothing—
have no chanco at al’; there nro a him-
dr<d applicants for every vacancy.
'No small number of tho w-arebora for
tdaces, ‘••ays a reporter who has exam
iued the subject,'are native Americans
With neither trade noi- profession
they a-o forced to take wla 1 ever oil¬
er-' -and untiling offers. Many of
them ate edneahd meti.Avlto can con¬
jugate uGie.-kveib without difficulty
But Greek verbs, however ornamen¬
tal, aro poor stocks in trade. A thor¬
ough classic tl education, however do-
fcirable it mar he, is of a little use in
H e employment market unless back¬
ed by to mo useful practical knowl¬
edge. College graduates are stauding
on every corner looking for work. If
auy person should desire to ride up
Brtv.flway in n coach drawn by a Poore
of accomplished collegians, ho would
have no trouble in employing them,
even if he offered them no more than
their board. A man who ‘had pawn-
<d his clothes to pay for his advertise
meet.'advertises that bo wants work
of any kiud where he can earn bread.
What a sad story the pathetic appeal
tells of that hope deferred which mak-
eth the heart sick.
-Be kind to tho tree agent, says an
exchange. ‘He has a father an
mother who knew him in bis Inuocent
youth. Perhaps oven now fond
hearts are beating for him, and sweet
lips bivatho love’s dearest prayers for

softly, fold his hands peacefully upon

put him to rest under tho branches of

Now let ns have peace. Mr. Steph¬
ens is chosen and the people have done
it, and tnerc‘8 been no juggling or
pulling of wires, and it becomes every
liody to acquiesce and get in a good
humor if they can. Maj. Paeon is a

qiia’iflud, tl at have never had any of-
flee at ail. The mistake fhat some
folks make is they work up. an idea
that the office is their's, when the
troth is it belongs to the people.
General Gartrell has got a claim and
Major Bacon has a claim, but these
sort of claims won't stand before a ju¬
ry. I don't know who was the father
of this business—that is of gettiug Mr
Stephens (o run, but he is a smart
man. He saw the breakers ahead.
He snuffed the battle from afar. The
independents were massing their
foices, ntnf they were going to run Mt
Stephens theirselves, when suddenly
(lie organized come along and stole
Imn and carried liioj off, and they
have got him yet, and I think they
will Keep him until he is elected, and
maybe longer, I don't Know—nobody

had a big old horse pistol and have
been pointing it around and sneering
everybody, when suddenly the organ¬
ized slipped tip and grabbed it by
tho muzzle and went to beating the
irid- pendents ever the heal with the
breech of it. It was a regular caso of
larceny, it was larceny an assault
an battery besides, and they added in¬
sult to injury, foe they used wortls
calculated to make a breach of peace.
I don't blame the independents fur
being mad, but then, on reflection, I
don't iliink anybody has anything to
brag of. It is a sort of a dog fall all
around. If the organized have whip-
pi d the light they had to steal the
iimmmnnition to do it. It reminds
mo of the time when the whig boys of
our town sent down to Decatur
and borrowed a cannon to make a
noise with at a Dr, Miller's barbecue
and the night it got there the demo¬
cratic boys stole it while it wao rain¬
ing and carried it off to a swamp, and
when Lumpkin was elected over Mil-
ler th ‘ ? « ot 11 0,,t “ bj,It “ ud B i 8 ht and
lived it off for victory. I‘m not going
to holler for anybody just yet. Mr.
Stephens will make a good enough
GOVERN OR
For me or for anybody else, and ho
will dignify and adorn the office
abio.id, but l doit' think he will be
onesided iu the distribution of his
pationage, and the independents will
stand as good a chance ns anybody.
That's nil right with me, for wo have
had quarrels enough, and too much,
and some of us arc getting along iu
years and it don't become us to fuss
and fret, ami abuse one another while
waiting for tho ferryman to come
with his boat. Yon editors especially
who are the beacon lights that guide
us on opr way, ought to advise liar*-
tnony and pence, and good will, and
show your precepts by your example,
and keep the peace yourselves. It
don't pay to get mad about anything,
much less politics. Getting road
cheats a man out of his time. He
loose a day or two days or even a week
thinking nnd fretting about it, and
that interferes with bis busiuess and

Willingham sayH ho is waiting to see
what kind of platform the organized
fix up for Mr. Stephens to stand on
before he commits the Free Press to
him. Well I think wo can fix that
with a little short resolution, viz:

Regularity in Feeding Stock.
IFhile it is highly important that
every farmer provide good food for his
horses and cattle, yet it is equally im¬
portant I hat they should bo fed regular
ly.at stated periods. Animals are good
time keepers; and if the hour passes
at which they avo commonly fed, they
are apt to make their wants known;
especially is the cow. It is a very-
bad practice to feed her often and ir ¬
regularly, and some farmers have an
idea that almost every time tlio barn
is entered the cows should be given hay
or fodder. This is a mistake. The
great object in view is to keep the cow
quiet and contented, which can be
i eudily accomplished by regular feed
mg, and supplying all the food they
can eat. If fe l in this m-auner in the
morning, (he cows will lie down and
chew the cud, and are not disposed to
be annoyed by the visits of any
pur-on. In in the winter seasou, the
second feeding should be about two
o'clock iu the afternoon, which will al¬
low them to have from that time to the
milking all they will eat, an/1 giv¬
ing a feeding of when the
milking is finished. The first stom¬
ach of the cow should De empty, or
almost so, before more food is eaten.
A cow chewing a cud cannot be hun¬
gry. This regularity as regards feed¬
ing should likewise appjy to watering
and milking. This regular system of
feeding applies fully as well to pigs
and sheep,when tho later are iu winter
quarters. Animals can be as easily
trained as children, and every farmer
who beats it iu mind will be amply re¬
warded by tho fiuo appearance of his
stock, and the affection which will be
bestowed upon him by them.— South¬
ern Industry.

Truck Farming.
We giro below figures taken from
an interview by a Constitution cor¬
respondent with a leading truck
farmer near Valdosta'
What farmer in Georgia or Flordia
can mako a better showing than this?
Let us recapitulate and see what Mr.
MeRea makes annually on his
truck farm. To begin he has 100
acres iu melons, from which be gets
sixty car loads. Each car nets him
$150; total $9,000. Two and a half
acres in cabbage which net $400 per
acre, equal to $1,000. lie hud three
ami half acres in encumbers, net
profits $1,050. Five acres iu Irish
potatoes return him $750. To al in
round numbers made on truck for one
year, $12,000. These figures are not
exaggerated, but if anything the esti¬
mate b smaller than ought to be,
which can be shown by a reference to
Mr. McRee's books.
