Cuffy has not been able to deal

It is reported th it enterprising
farmers in Kansan have sent to
Alnlsimn for cottonseed to experi
ment with the great staple in their
climate.— Atlanta Capital. When
they try it to their heart’s content,
ns it has been done in this State,
they will come out with a large
stock of experience and very little
money.
Printers in Mobile are on n
strike for advance in wages. The
latest advices are that their places
are being filled by what is known
among the craft as ••Bats,’’ and
that the papers are appearingregu
hilly as heretofore. This may all
lie true, but wc venture the asser
tion, that the general app a rance
of the papets is not so creditable
in a niechani- al point of view. Lei
the Imys stand tirm an I victoiy
will perch on their banners after

Five convicts on the Augusta
and Chattanooga |{..ilroid, a few
days ago succeeded in disarming
the guard a id made their escape.
Among them was John Marshal,
who was leader of thr mutiny and
one of the most daring criminals
in the camp. He is from this coun
ty, and has escaped three times
lu the first instance he hud three
months to serve Itefurc the expira
tion of his sentence and the sec

was up this time tor eighteen
mouths for escaping.
Tlic following item from the
Americus Recorder should cause
our farmers to reflect and act : A
thrifty farmer living near Ameri
cus came to town yesterday with
a wagon containing all the home
raised oat* that tour fine, well-fed
mules could pull. He found a
ready mark* t for his produce and
•old at a good price. Besides
what was sold, which was only a
portion ot a surplus of his ciop,
he has an abundance left sot
seed and plenty for his stock be
•sdea. Another very noticeable
feature about this tian- .ction was,
tin! no western nr at went out on
the wagon that hauled it the oat-.
V» ords titiy spoken by the Guv
ton Chronicle mid which we trans
fer to our columns, fully adopting
the sentiment of the same : We do
say to renders mid .riends, coming
from our heart, may you have a
••happy New Year.” Not only
that, but a year of prosperity,
pence mid plenty. May your
hopes be realized mid your desires
gratified. May the dark winged
angel of death pass you by, but
should you be called to march un
der his pale Hag, may yon be pre
pared and equipped for the jour
ney.
THE NEW YEAR-
Perhaps there is no peiixl in
our history so auspicious, appa
rently at least, to meditate upon
the lessons of the just, and re
solvens to the fiitme, than on the
opening of the New A ear.—-
As we look upon the scene- ol
the year just closed it is
like folding a well worn g.unmnt
.and consigning it to things I hat have
passed out of U-e. As to the pa-t,
the record hit been mule and we
cannot alter it, however much we
may desire to blot from its pages
mistakes which are already telling
upon us.
Improvement belo gs to the
present ; ii‘l future, and 1887, as
wc move up the figures of each
sin ccssive day, will be one of -uc
cess or failure, just, as we make it,
that is, measurably its blessing
i will fall upon us in proportion to
; how we play our part in life's
! drama, iu the uich it sot ins in the
history of time. To make it a
j ld<-sing to ourselves will be to in
.iigurate in out I \cs th .1 pri i I
pie from which will flow thn'
| which wtil hem-tit others, Insti
tute ,if this we may expect to see
history repeat itself, and when the
list day's transaction of 1887
shall Lave been recorded, the
world will be no belter oil’ on
account of our lives. Such a
life is to no purpose 1
()ur destiny depends not upon
the resolutions we may have made,
or .hose we may yet make, but
only as wc bring them into
practical utility, will they prove
beneliei d. Destitute of th is they
will be as weak as the cobweb or
as fruitless of real good as castles
in the air.
Eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty, and as truly may it lie said
that eternal adherence to princi
ples of right and fidelity to reso
lutions to act our part in I'te in
that way that we may measure up
to the requirements imposed by
each day’s obligations, the she t
anchor to success. At no periml
m the history of this county for
the past twenty yc.ais has it been
more incumbent upon our people
to lesolvo with a resolution as
strong as death to cease wailing
for something to turn up in which
lhetideot fortune will begin to How
to them, and get down to business
with a determination to turnup
something! A tirm determination
coupled with energy and e< olioinv
will accomplish the desired end
To bro.nl over the ill- of life is a
bud that will not blossom to
cheer us in the unfolding scenes ot
1887 ; to bemoan our losses and
failures ol the past, will produce
m> means whereby the breaches
may be tilled or bridge the cha-m
Ol our d.tliculties in the future : to
despair on account ot repeated at
tempts to succeed and an equal
number of failures accompaning
the same, will till up no waste
places and do nothing in the way
ot providing lor a rainy day.
The future of the New Year
will doubthss pre-cut, as the past
has done, opportunity to lienetit
our-elves, and like the past, un
less the tide is taken at its How ,
1 will -imp] leave lehabod written
up.>n 'nr history. Living, a- we
do, on the gaid n spot of earth, it
is m our power t > prove that there
'is life in the old lan I yet, ami
thereby hew out a glorious desti
ny. Let us make it so.
