St el la ville Flashes. 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.

[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. — Our Neighbors. Something* of Interest to All. What is Transpiring in Out Sifter Comities ns Sketched by the Quill Drivers. WILKES. 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.” Uncle Tobe limps upon the square, and meets Brer. Sol with a smile. Terms, $1 A Year, Lt Advance* > “Brer Sol. I heerd from you las* night. Bless de Lord, I'm glad yotl come through. 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. ’ W.IIIREL 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. IfAlCOt’K. Sparta Ishmael.te: It in Baid that broken grains of corn, soaked in Htrong Halt water, will kill larks and other birds that prey on young cern. The remedy is simple and inexpensive, and is worth trying. Mrs. M. A. Simpson Bold her planta tion at the low price of dollars per acre with the purpose, it is said, of moving to Florida. Georgia is the bent State in the Union— take it all in all. Spring oats present a green and flourishing appearance. Some that we have seen are unusualy vigorous. 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 it. 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.
