deavor to write regular as their let¬
ters form an important feature in

Novel Use Tor Newspapers.
An exchange says: “The latest
iliu i most novel use for old papers
tliafc has come to our notice, occurred
Saturday, when a gentlemen stepped
-: n t 0 tlie office and purchased 100 or
m0l . e to Iced to his hens. He tears
(he into shreds and soaks it in
sour milk until Lhe whole mass be¬
comes a pulp, when he feeds it to
his hens, and he claims that it adds
greatly to their egg producing gradually quali¬
ties. 'The newspaper is
extending its field of usefulness.
From food for thought it has ex¬
panded until already within its
sphere is included food, for goats pud
hens.”
A Sari Affair.
Our community received a severe
shock last Saturday J. when J. Burch, it was
learned that Mrs. of
this place, had attempted to kill her¬
self and her little daughter, Marie.
Mrs. Burch has been in bad health
for a long time and was carried to
Augusta by her relatives with the
hope that the change would be bene¬
ficial to tier, and she lias been slay¬
ing with her sister, Mrs. Dunningtou,
for some time. On last Friday morn¬ de¬
ing, while in a stale of mental
rangement she committed the deed
as above stated.
While the wounds of both are of
a dangerous nature, tins attending
physician thinks they will pull
through with careful attention, which
they arc receiving, and unless septi¬
cemia sets in.

Sensational Episode.
Talliaferro superior court ended
on Friday in a sensational manner.
The question as to witness subpeona
came up, Judge Reese intimated that
Solicitor Lewis had not, used certificates good
judgment entitled in signing lust term
which witness at
of Talliaferro superior court held at
Orawfordyille to draw pay from the
treasury of the county. Solicitor
Lewis endeavored to make a state¬
ment but the judge would not let
him speak and cut him up in a sharp
manner.
Solicitor Lewis at this juncture be¬
gan to weep saying lie felt, humiliated
that his honor should accuse him of
questionable actions in the matter.
The judge was firm in his manner
toward the solictor. The hour lit,
which the matter came up \yas about,
noon. When the. solicitor persisted
in addressing the court his honor
told him lie could continue the
matter at two o’clock when court
again went in session. At this time
court adjourned for dinner.
The solicitor said he would make
a personal matter out of it, and
would see the judge at the hotel.
A11 Idle Boy.
We pity the, boy whose father is
rich enough and foolish enough to
allow him to grow up in idleness;
for, no matter what his native en¬
dowments may he, he is sure to he
hurt almost beyond remedy hoy by such
indulgence. An idle is likely to
turn out a trifling man. 'The card¬
inal virtues of industry and self
denial must be acquired, if at all, in
early life. There are exceptions to
the rule, but they are so few in num¬
ber that they do not count. Once in
awhile we find even a poor man,
struggling day and night lor the
means to keep up ids family, and
yet through mistaken affection, stif¬
fen" ng his sons to Ionnge about in good
clothes and spend money which
ought to go to pay his just debts.
What shall we say of him, except
that he needs a guardian ? And of
his sons, except that they need a
fc^er?—Exchange.
