SUMMER.
Now comes the sudden thunder shower,
Their thirst for blood musquitoes state,
The collar wilts iu half an hour,
The'pesky tlies exasperate;

Green cucumbers their work get in,
Jamaica ginger's in demand.

His littfe pile tile iceman makes,
Thj small boy from the river’s bank
Each day a nude departure takes. 3

THE DEAD IN GERMANY.
There is a custom with regard to
thp buiial of the dead that prevail,
largely throughout Germany which
should be emulated in every country
on the face of the globe.
Adjacent "to the country s a large
airy building, with many rooms and
gla>s sides,to which soon after death
every person, rich or poor, is carried.
Theie, neatly attired and general!'
adorned with Howers, in sight of all
passers, it remains three or four days
with its hand fastened loan electric
bell, which even the slightest motion
will ring. At the end of an allotted
time for the body to lie in this state,
it is buried.
All bodies are subjected to a com
petent and careful inspection by this
method, and it is very improbable
that any one should be buried alive
in that country, while in our own
country in late years there have
been just reasons lor thinking tl-a:

UMBER IT LTLRE IN TENNESSEE
Tennessee is one of the few
Status that have not been stripped
»f their timber without concern
for fu’urn needs and climatic con
lit i- us A bout fifty per cent of the
land iu Tennessee is still wooded.
There are 26,080,000 acres in tin
S'nte altogether, of which uearlv
1/3.000 000 are 'i inhered. Ouh
’hoe S.at-s >n the South hav<
greater timber acerage—Nortl
Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia.
As the altitude of the forest of
Tennessee varies from 200 to 6,000
feet above the sea's level, »woodi
of every kind kt\pwu to the United
States are to be found there. In
value, the oaE has the first plac ,
but the ash. of which there are tw
varieties, the white and the blu-,
is hardly less important. Even in
Tennessee the forests of ash ai'
now.fuuudonly in distric's remote
from the railroads but so rapid is
the growth of tills tree that it i
being planted as an investment.
A farmer who set out.a grove ■ f
ash trees covering ten acres twelve
years ago now has 12,000 trees 8
inches in diameter on an average
and 35 feet high. There were n
expenses of cultivating, and th
ten acres of 12,000 trees are wor*b
t ’he present time between $7,000
ipd SB,OOO.
B.sides o k and ash, Tennessee
posseses three varieties of elm, twe
of gum, two of fir, three of hickory
two of locust, three of maple, tv o
of pine, three of poplar, and two oi
walnut.
Among other trees found in
abundance are the beech, birch
buckeye, red cedar, wild cherry
cottonwood, cypress, dogwood,
basswood, mulberry, tupelo, syca
more and sassafras,
Os oaks, there afe no less than
twelve varieties, Cedar, unfortu
nately is going very fast. Bucke
factories in the State use 5,000,-
000 feet of this timber every year. ;
I’eiegraph companies use it almost I
exclusively for poles. Nearly 1,
000,000 feet goes each year to St
Louis, where it is made into fence
rails.
Tne rapidity with which the ce
dar if being consumed has opened
the eyes of some of the friends ot
the forest in and a
warning has been sounded . —N. Y.
Evening Post.
IN FOR THE FIGHT.
Screven county has got on its
fighting clothes. Here’s what the
Sylvania Telephone has to sax
about it:
The Democrats of Screven ar
preparing for the combat this fall.
The others excutive committee Lai
been appointed and Col. Oliver i
chairman. The campaign commit
tee will be anounced next issue
The democracy is bound to sir;
ceed again iu this county, as usual,
but through organiznatiou and ac
tive and vigorous work will be
noccessary, to show the Populists
that however hard they may work
and with all the crossroad orating
they do, they can't succeed here
There is no room for them,
The Waycross .Herald thL.ks
hat Judge Hines has failed to en
thuse the third party of Georgii
and that the rapid!}
weakening.
The Walton News is aj great be
liever in the ability of Hon. W. Y
Atkinson to “do up” Judge Hines.
It suggests:
After the gubernatorial con ven
tion we lock for Hon. William Y
Atkinson to invite candidate Hines
tto engage in joint debate, If the
challenge should be ma|e and ac
cepted we would see some old-time
political exci ten-lent. Atkinson has
ii > equal iu Georgia as a stump
speaker.
There is agreat deal es truth in
what the Talbotton New Era says:
“Voting for men and not parix
means p ilitical disintegration and
auafclTby. Organization isneede<
everywhere. Nothing can be ac
complished without it, hence it ii
of paramount importance.”
I’he Quitman Free Press hits it
just right m this paragraph ; “Th*
so-called Democrat who votes for
Hines in preference to Atkinson ,
is just the kind jf a Democrat
I’um Watson wants him to be. Tne
ballot that goes in the box foi
Hines is a third party vote, and
no whys and wherefores can figure
it out in any other way, -|
This how Democrats of M - I
con county feel according to th,
Montezuma Record ; “The Demo
era’s aie going to carry the state
of Georgia by an over whelming
miij «rty. Now watch what we tell
you. Democrats are falling into I
Hue everywhere. Genuine en
thusiasm is being kindled an
along the line, The people are
aroused and are going to keep ,
(heir state government iu tUe i
(lauds of Democrats.”
