BY EGO.
There is something charming about i
the quiet that reigns around us. We
trust there will be nothing soon to
mar the tranquility. It is true that a
political contest is steadily approach
ing us but this, of itself, is no good
reason for malignant disagreement.—
It is noble to agree to disagree m on
matters calculated to bring about that
peace requisite to a country’s highest
happiness and greatest progress.—
Democracy, if we rightly understand
it, tends to provide against feuds,
harangues and unwholesome disputes.
There is a law governing human
events, called the law of progress.—
This law is a controlling power over
which those have no influence who
say their interest is all lost in a mat
ter just because they have not their
way. A party may possess the seeds
of virtue and also certain elements of
destruction. Very frequently' there
are diversities of opinion, even in the
same party, which might be amicably
arranged, if each faction would yield
a little. If every man in every coun
ty and State, will work to the best of
his ability for harmony, discord will
cease. It is rediculous nonsense for
men to expect what they do not live
and work for. As the customs of
life change men change with them;
but principles that are true remain
steadfast, immovable; always abound
ing in works that are good. There
ever remains something to be ac
complished. Our fathers accomplish
ed a great deal, but much remains
yet to be accomplished; they have
given us the light of their experience;
by it we see where we are, and also
where we stood beiore. Our suscep
tibleness of imperfection render it
largely to our credit to advance
assisted by the light we have. May
we let our progression bo free from
those destroying elements that at
tended the acts of our fathers. If j
they were too ambitious, let us cur
tail a little. If they lacked nobler [
asperations, we say, “lay on Mack-1
beth,” and hold not up until the j
success is accomplished.
The farmers of this stiction are real
busy now trying to get through 1
planting corn, the tew days of pleasant
weather last week made their faces i
glow radiant with smiles.
Our merchants certainly have laid
in a full supply of spring goods, as
the visiting of drummers seems to
abate.
It was quite a surprise not to see a
one of the inoincibles in town last
week. It were wonderful how many
shoes a drummer can put in a small
space. At the store of messrs. Jones
and Baston’s a few days since, we saw
the two long counters completely
full of shoes, being only the contents
of two small trunks.
Already' your readers may have
read the death of Mr. J.
IN. T, Jones, of the firm of
Jones & Baston, through the col
umns of the Augusta Chronicle. The
community exceedingly regret his
death. He died as he lived, a good
man.
Until last Thursday night we never
had the pleasure of seeing a knitting
machine. A piece of knitting six
yards long was quite a curiosity to
most of us. Hose and half-hose with-
I out heel or toe resemble things
I hideous.

[Atlanta CoiiHtitution.]
Lexington, Ga., March 20 The I
story is told every now ami then of I
the large crops of cotton and corn,
etc., made by the tillers of the soil, of
their success, and of their many plan
tations surrounded ns they are with
all the comforts of farm life that is
essential to make man happy, but
seldom is mentioned what woman is
doing in the way of farming. While
tiiis is not her sphere, yet there are
some who, for want of something
more adapted to their feeble frames,
do a great deal in this line.
MRS. SALLIE HANSFORD.
/This morning Mrs. Sallie Hansford,
a worthy but poor woman, living
about four miles east of here, in the
Salem neighborhood, came into town
driving “Ben Davis,” her little ox, in
a little two wliesl cart, with her little
son, Jeff, seated by her side. It was
singular to see a woman thus rigged
out, though not an unusual sight for
the people here. Miss Sallie, ns she
is called, held the faithful “Ben Davis”
with a strong pair of plow lines at
tached to a bridle whose bits were in
“Ben Davis’s” mouth, lie is quite a
frisky little ox, and sometimes unruly,
for every once in awhile he bids fare
well to the noisy town and makes
way for home. Miss Sallie has for
the Inst nine years supported her
large family, consisting of her feeble
husband, who lias, during all this
tim*, been upon a bed of sickness.
Rheumatism laid its hold upon him
and has ever held its grip, having no
earthly use of his legs and never will
have.
THE REWARD OF HER LABOR.
Miss Sallie bought one hundred
and seven acres of land lust year,
much of it being original forest. Last
fall she and her four little children,
two of whom are boys fourteen and
fifteen years old, cleared some five
acres. She cut down the trees, rolled
tho logs together, split the rails built
the fence and burnt the brush with
their help; and made last year nine
bales of cotton, not counting some
that was stolen in the seed. She
also made corn and peas enough to
do her, paid 800 pounds for rent
last year, paid her store account and
! paid S4O on her land. She has bought
her meat, though not much, to do her
for this year, and paid for it cash in
hand.
WITH HER OWN STRONG HANDS.
She is a wonderful woman, doing
all this farm work, such as plowing,
planting and gathering the crop, be
sides, doing the cooking, cutting the
wood, and feeding her stock, consist
ing of her little horse and faitlifu
“Ben Davis.” This month she had to
drain off some of her land, and has
just finished cutting a ditch fifty
yards long.
When we see her coming to town
our hotel people all know she has
nn< l chickens to sell. She now
has a most promising crop of oats and
wheat. She is strictly honest, and
has the sympathy of a large circle of
friends.

Washington Chronicle: A Satur
day evening street scene in Washing
ton on a pleasant day is a novel sight
to a Northern man. Indeed, it is one I
to interest anybody. Gn that day
“cuffee” takes the town, and people
who walks the street may expect to
be jostled. But everybody is good
humored and if Sis Dinah runs ■
against you and knocks you off your
balance, no complaint is made, be
cause this is to be expected. Sis
Mary is glad to meet Sis Ria, and
wants to know “Is you hearn from
Sis. Dilsey’s cbilluns lately?” and
“Member me to Brer Jack.”

Brer Primus meets Uncle Sandy
for the first time since lie heard
Sandy's last sermon at Mt. Nebo,
“Brer Sandy you her me, you preaeli'
es wid de power nml de sperit." The
conversation of the men runs largely
into the religious vein, while the
women mix religion and gossip.
On Saturday the square waa filled
with wagons, all of them loaded with
guano, corn, meal and meat. But
few of them brought in anything to
sell. This shows that farming is the
best business in the world. Nothing
else could stand such a drain.
.Mr. Web Hill, brought in eight
bales of line Burmuda hay on Friday
which was readily sold at a good
price. This is the first BtU'inuda hay
sold in this market by a Wilkes
county farmer. In all countries
grass lands are the most valuable,
and whenever the owners of the Ber
muda lands near Mai orysville prepare
their lands so ns to save this valuable
hay they will bo surprised to learn
how easy it is to make money by
selling grass instead of killing it. The
Chronicle noted the fact last week
that Major H. D. Smith, of Taliaferro,
had sold a lot of Bermuda hay in this
place, but wo prefer to see ot»r own
people supply this market.

Clipper: For a long time it hae
been generally believed that the old
Baptist church buildiug’in Warrenton
contained a memorial stone. After
the now building was erected it was
decided to investigate the matter, but
it was delayed from time to time
until yesterday. Early in the after
noon a large crowd of men, women
and children gathered around the
building to witness the investigation.
A large granite stone at the noithcast
corner was different in appearance
from the rest and was thought to con
tain tho relics of antiquity,Tind under
the solemn supervision of Rev. T. J.
Pilcher and Deacon W. 11. Smith the
work of removing the stone was be
gun, while the crowd bent forward,
eagle-eyed, to catch the first glimpse
of the long hidden treasure. Pi cs
by piece the stones wore dislocated
until the last was removed from the
foundation, when the only thing dis
covered was a large, patriarchal look
ing grub worm.

On last Sunday night while Capt.
Miller’s train was scudding along,
just beyond Milledgeville, some rascal
threw a rock at the passenger coacbj
It crashed through one of the win
dows and covered a sleeping drum- »
mer with glass, and crossing the aisle,
struck a passenger, on the opposite
side of it, on the head. When some
fellow has been hung for that sort of
business there will boa let-up in

WIFFIE
Journal: Wo promised not to men
tion the singular occurrence, and will
not, but on Monday last, when Hon.
Flunk Colley, of Washington, step
ped into Maj. Hendon’s store and
was met by the courteous and genial
Major, and promptly and cordially
mistaken for Prof. Gruber, of the fa
mous Gruber Family, the sudden
change in Mr. Colley’s features was
simply marvellous. For the first time
in his life he was awed into silence.
The gravity of the situation called for
eloquence of the most impassioned
nature, but on this occasion it failed
to materialize; and, when the Major
offered a dozen apples for a ticket to
the show, the expression of incredu
lous astonishment which mantled Mr.
Colley’s voui tenance rapidly merged
into a smile of helpless misery and
confusion. Both the Professor and
Mr. Colley are handsome men, so that
complimentary honors are easy; but
the suddenness of the disaster, and
the vivid recollection of the recent
Pierce- Weaver case of doubtful
identity, have caused a thoughtful
solemnity to settle on Mr. Colley’s
features that is distressing to behold.
