And he is dead! Athwarts life span
He lived and died a manly man,
And from the mern'ry of his deeds
A tale of wonderous love proceeds!
And he is dead! Ah, stalwart friend,
To all in need thy life did lend
Great rays of hope to old and young,
By thousand are thy prai scs sulig!
And hois dead! His ' uial a 1 ■
And loyal heart unknown to guile,
Have ceased te cheer us on our way
And all of Georgia weeps to-dv.y!
And he is dead! The children stroll
Out midst the sorrow of their soul,
While up above the summer skies
Now weep, and nature all replies!
And he is dead! His, great work’s o’er,
He greets the angels on God’s shore—
His hand, his heart and life are stilled
His place in Georgia can’t be filled!
And he is dead! Our people weep,
God’s fairest augels guard his sleep,
lAbont his grave the summer sod
But smiles in pointing up to God!

A Wide-awake Farmer.
T. A. Westherr.v of Me. Donald •
(•a., while here Thusrday on a
visit to his father who lives sever
al miles from town gave us n very
pleasant and appreciated visit.
Mr. Westherry is a typical soul
ern farmer and represents idle
highest type of farmers in C’otfee
county, one of tlie best fanning
sections in the State.
During tiie Witterinelon season
lie sold off of his seventy cere
farm, 981 melons that brought
him $90.00 net profit, besides he
used , about three hundred melons
for home consumption, feeding
them to his hog S. I Jo used one
half ton of guano upon an acre
and a quarter of land in producing
these melons. He says that he ex ¬
pectsto make at least three him
deed bushels of corn and about
twenty barrels of syrup this .year,
besides these, he has a large tract
planted ia Spanish peanuts, and
expects about six or seven bales
of cotton, although this has been
a bad season for this staple.
With such an excellent variety of
crops that will bring him a sub¬
stantial income, this year’s suc¬
cess for Air. AY est berry is an as¬
sured certainty.
SUCCUMBED.
When first I looked in those
brown eyes,
1 felt we'd soon be one,
The strongattacment to my life
AY as then and there begun.
Those Ivory Teeth the parting
lips
No man before had kissed,
All drew me, with a mighty stregth
Which I could not resist.
And yet, alas for me I knew
My suit was hopeless, quite;
The one who held me capttve was
Her father's bull dog, "Bite."
E. M. Br.
The above poetry was handed
in h.y a young man for publication
and we "succumbed to the tempta¬
tion of giving ff prominent space.
It tells the, stiuy of a lost cause
that ended so abruptly in the last
Aanza. whore the interference of
Bite probably prevented « few
more stanzas from being written.
