AN ACCURSED SPOT.
Washington Chronicle: On
the road from Americus to Vienna,
Ga., is one of the richest lands in
the world. Vegetation grows
rich and rank, while the great
wreaths of moss hanging from the
wide spreading oaks look like
bridal veils. This renders all the
more remarkable a spot of about
100 yards square by a turn of the
road, just three miles out of
Vienna. Upon this spot not a
bpde of grass has been known to
sprout in years. In its center
atar.ds a giant oak, which has lost
its verdure, an I is n>w shaken
from its roots by the wind.
Ten years ago two little white
girls, the daughters of a farmer
were on their way one morning to
school in Vienna. They never
reached the school room, which
caused no alarm, as the teacher
supposed they had been kept al
home. But when the children
failed to return home at the
accustomed hour then! was great
alarm. It was sunset when the
father returned from his Helds,
and the night was intensely dark,
with a drenching rainfall. Taking
a lantern to guide his steps the
father proceeded on the way to
Vienna. When he reached the
head of the road a flash of the
light fell across a pale and vivid
face. He approached ami found
that it was one of his daughter*—
lying dead. A low moan fell
upon his ears. Proceeding to the
spot whence it came, he found the
other daughter hound and gagged,
and tied to the oak tiee. She
was wild with delirium but enough
could be gathered to know that a
worse crime had preceded the
murder. The girl is still a hopeless
maniac.
The news erented intense
excitement. Men left their fields,
vowing that until the perpetrator
of the deed was caught they
would not return to the plow han
dles. Circumstances gathered
around a young negro in the
neighborhmxl until they glow
into conviction, made a fact by the
culprits confession. He was
taken to the spot, bound and
gagged, and thrown into a blazing
fire which had been built on the
scene of the crime. Since that
time the spot has been deemed to
he accursed.

COURTSHIP IN GEORGIA
When a Georgia farmer found
out that his son John was spark-4
ing a certain farmer's daughter for
a year or more without settling
any question, he called him out
behind the stack and said to him :
•John, do you love Susan Tucker ?’
“1 guess I do, dad.” And does
she love you ?” •‘That’s what 1
duuno, and I am afraid to ask her.”
••Well, you’d better throw out a
few hints to-night and find out.
it's no use wearing out boot
leather unless you are going to
marry her.” That night nt 10
o’clock John came home a wreck
His face was all scratched up, his
ear was bleeding, his hat was
gone, and his back was covered
with mud.
••John ! John ! what on earth is
the matter?" exclaimed the old
man, laying down the paper.
“Bin over to Tucker’s,” was the
reply. And—and—and I threw
out u tew hints to Susan.” “What
kind o| hints?" “Why, I told her
!‘J I. e i ho ti is j i* tw > miles four
.iigu.'«>. a week tor the last two
years Io set up with her while she
chewed gum and sung through
her nos ~ nd n<>« 1 reckoned it
w. s t.me for her to -brush her
teeth uuj darn her stockings, •
cure the bile on her chin and
tell the people were engaged..’
“And her father bounced
you?" “No dad, no; there’s
where I'm consoled. It took the
whole family, including Susan,
two hired men and three dogs,
ami then I wasn’t mor’n half
licked. I guess we moved on
’em too soon dad—l goers it
wasn't quite time to throw out
hints.”

A man violates the laws of
honor when he tuKc's advantage
of another's unskillfulness or
inexperience, or the technicalities
of the law to impose on him. A
man acts dishonorably when he
does not make sacrifices to pay his
debts promptly; when he attempts
to raise th« market price on i
another buyer; when he sells be
low the market price to get away ;
his neighbors customers; when he!
is unmindful of favors ; when he
does not allow his clerks and
dependents to share in his pros
perity, ami in all cases when he
does acts which, if thoroughly
understood, would tend to lower
Inin in the estimation of his custo
mers or any good man.—Dry

'WHAT CORN BEER WILL DO.
Washington Chtonicle: Meet
ing an old friend the other day. |
our conversation turned upon '
alcoholic stimulants, and the !
gentleman remarked. “There are
oilier things besides corn juice
that will make anybody drunk. I
had a lot of corn beer not a great
while ago, that had become too!
hard for either myself or the box
to drink, and I concluded to give
it to an old sow that 1 had put up
to fatten.
When 1 poured it into the i
trough, it seemed that she would
hurt herself, and when I went to
the pen in about 2 hours again she !
was blind drunk. She could grunt
and roll her eyes, but could not
stand alone. 1 went back again in
about an hour, and I tell you that
hog was reeling alxmt like a man
that had been on a big spree.
Tell me that corn lieer won't make
a man drunk. 1 know better."
