• Mr. Hodges returned yesterday from
Conference. He is assigned on the work
at Louisville next year, well, our people
hate to give up Mr. Hodges, but we trust
he and lvis family be pleasantly situated in
their new home at Louisville, and we con¬
gratulate the people there in being so for¬
tunate in securing tl*e services of tills fine
young preacher.
At Macon the firm of Vansyckle
& Ilervey, auctioneers, have dissolv¬
ed, Vansvcle retiring. He will return
North. Capt. Frank A. Hervey will
continue the business at the same
on Third street. .

Advance of Material Interest.
From the Memphis Avalanche.
v/ithin the last three months not
less than sixty-two companies for
mining and smelting have been or¬
ganized, and mills, machine shops,
railway companies, foundries, cotton
flour and other manufactories have
been constructed.

While the boring on Maj. Rilkins’
aitosian well, at Waynesboro, was
being vigorously pushed, some rath¬
er unexpected, and certainly strange
things-—portions of a human skeleton
were brought to light. The local geo¬
logists and scientists, it is said, are
somewhat puzzled as to how the
bones got the depth of lour hundred
feet.

Another year has demonstrated
the fact that farmers can’t profitably
make an outlay of 8 cents per pound
iu order to have a few bale# of 8
cent cotton to sell at the end of the
year. JIf they will give next year to
provision crops, and buy an average
crop of cotton at the end of the year,
they will find it aa improvement on
the prevailing method. By buying
the crop ready-made, much trouble
will he avoided and the mat gin for
profits will not he a whit lessened.—

NEARLY ALL SUBSCRIBED
THE SAVANNAH AND WESTERN SHORT
link’s STOuk.
From the Savannah Mews.
The canvassers for subsu-vipfjons
to stock of the Savannah, I)uVti n
and Westeru Short Line railway have
had very good success in the towns
and counties along the proposed line.
Mr. T. F. Johnson, the treasurer
of the company, has received thus
far subscriptions amounting to near¬
ly §240,000. Americas, Vicna and
Macon are yet to hear from. Savan¬
nah subscribed about §25,000, while
the small town of Dublin took $30,
000. j The City Council of Cochran
subscribed §3,000 for the city. One
of the directors of the road wrote
that he approached a wealthy citi¬
zen of oue of the interior counties
and asked him to take one or two
thousand dollars worth of stock. The
gentleman volunteered to subscribe
#150,000 but was persuaded to take
less and let some one else have a
oha,,ce -
1 he construction company agreed
to commence work when the railway
company should got §300,000 in
stock taken. Mr. Johnson says that
the company is not having any trou
etruetion company will wait until the
rest is subscribed but will go ahead
at once. All of the stuck is subseiib
completed and trains are running. °

The Largest Farm in the World.
From the Missouri Republican.
Iu tlie extreme southwest corner
of Louisiana lies the largest produc¬
ing farm in the world. It runs 100
miles north and south and twenty
live miles east and west, and is own¬
ed and operated bj r a syndicate of
Northern capitalists. Their general
manager, J. B. B at kins, gives an in¬
teresting account of this gigantic
plantation, which throws the great
Dalrytnpie farm of Dakota into the
shade completely. He was cornered
by a Post reporter at the St. James
hotel and asked to give the particu¬
lars of his gigantic enterprise. “The
1,500,000 acres of land in our tract,”
Mr. Watkins srid, “was durchased
in 1883 from the State of Louisiana
and from the United States govern¬
ment. At that time it was a vast
grazing land ior the cattle of the few
dealers of the neighborhood. When
I took possession I found over 30,
000 head of half-wild horses and cat¬
tle. My first work was todevide the
immense tract into convenient past¬
ure, establishing stations or ranches
every six mi Jos. The fencing al one
cost in the neighborhood of §50,000.
The land I found to be best adapted
to rice, sugar, corn and cotton.
“AH our cultivating, ditching, etc.,
is done by steam power. Wo take a
tract, say half a mile wide for in
stance, and place an engine at each
side. These engines are portable, and
operate a cable attached to four
plows, and under this arrangement
we arc enabled to plow thirty acres
a day with only the labor of three
men. Our ^arrowing, planting and
other cultivating is done in a lika
manner. In fact, there is not a
draught-horse on the entire place.
We have, of course, horses for the
herders of which we now have 16,
000 head. The Southern Pacific rail¬
road runs for thirty-six miles through
our farm. We have three steamboats
operating on the woters of our own
estate, upon whiah there are 300
miles of navigable waters. We have
an ice factory, a bank, a ship yard
and a rice mill.”

A Romance of th War. i
A Washington dispatch to the
New York Herald announces the
marriage in Indiana, November 27,
of George A. Dawson, of Louisiana,
and Miss Alice Lemon, of Washing¬
ton, and accompanied with the fol¬
lowing interesting account of a wifi
romance with a long interlude.
“George Dawson, a young captain in
the Confederate army, lay serious¬
ly injured in 1864, a prisoner of war
in the United States hospital at Iu<
dianapolis. One of the ladies who
visited the hospital frequently and
ministered alike to the wearers of the
blue and the gray was a Mrs. Lemon
the wealthy widow of a Union offi<
cer. In these visits Mrs. Lemon was
usually accompanied by her daugh¬
ter Alice, then a little A/iss of ten
years. A fast friendship sprung up
between the young Confederate and
the little Union girl, which continu¬
ed some months, until the former
was exchanged and sent back to
regimont. Seven years ago Mrs. Le¬
mon died, and Afiss Alice, through
t he efforts of her Republican friends
secured a clerkship in one of the de¬
partments here. Her health gradua’n
ly failed, and last October she re¬
signed her position and went West
to reside with relatives. The an¬
nouncement of her resignation was
printed in one of the New Orleans
papers, where it met the eye of Cap¬
tain Dawson, now a digniffad bach¬
elor ot middle age and one of the
richest planters on the lower Mis
sissippi. Captain Dawson immediate¬
ly wrote Miss Lemon and asked her
if she was his little sweetheart of
former years, and if so by what cap¬
rice of fortune she had been thrown
upon her own resources. J/iss Le¬
mon answered the Captain, detailing
their financial losses at the time of
the Jay Cooke failure and the subse¬
quent death of her mother. Captair
Dawson thereupon handed the lady
a check for 1,000, which he begged
her to accept as a slight recompense
for her mother’s kindness to him
while a prisoner of war. Miss Lemon
returned the chock, saying that un¬
der no circumstances could she re¬
ceive it. Captain Dawson then came
North to see if he could not person¬
ally prevail upon the lady to accept
his assistance. lie wont to Indiana,
intending to stop only a couple of
days, but he remained a month, and
when he returned last week lip car¬
ried with him a Northern bride to
grace his Southern home.”

POISON m THE ASHES
What the Ht. Lebanon Shakers
Found—Incident in the His¬
tory of a Quiet Community,
The Mount Lebanon (New'
York) Shakers are a quiet com¬
munity, secluded from the fret
and worry of the outside world.
They are widely known, how¬
ever, for their strict honor and
probity in business.
The Shakers believe that na
ture has a remedy for every dis¬
ease. A few have been found—
the rest are as yet unknown.
Many were discovered by acci¬
dent. Others came to light as
the result of patient experiment
and research.
Nervous Dyspepsia is a com¬
paratively of-the new disease, growing
out conditions of modern
life. * It is a joint affection of
the digestive organs and of the
nervous system. These two
were ailments, formerly treated as sepa¬ left
rate and it was
for the clear-sighted Shakers
to prove that the basis of this
terrible and often fatal compli¬
cation lies chiefly in the disord¬
ered and depraved functions of
digestion reasoned thus:—“If and nutrition. They
we can in¬
duce the stomach to do its
work, and stimulate the excre¬
tive organs to drive out of the
body which the poisonous remain after waste mat¬
ters the life
giving elements of the food
have been absorbed, we shall
have conquered Nervous Dys¬
pepsia and Nervous they Exhaust¬
ion. And were right.

Syrup) though similar in loss complicated

for doubt they prescribed the

been pronounced in¬
curable—with perfect success
in every instance where their
directions as to living and diet
were Nervous scrupulously Dyspepsia followed.
and Ex¬
haustion is a peculiarly Ameri¬
can disease. To a greater or
ess extent half the people of
his country suffer from it—
>oth sexes and all ages. In no
country in the world are there
o many insane asylums filled
o overflowing, all resulting
from this alarming disease. Its
frequent ending symptoms are these:
or continual head¬
ache ; a dull pain at the base
of the brain; bad breath: ; nau
