Ii-h a iio|>cfti) season of a hopeful
year. Everybody scorns to be feeling
g<Kid and trying to do soinotliing.
The farmers are wido : awakc planting
corn, clearing off the new ground,
burning brush, hauling giianna and
putting in a little more cotton than
usual. You see the lower the price
tho more they must raise to bring
enough money to pay for tho guunna.
Tho doctors arc holding conventions
to raise their mileage and determine
whethor tho widow, or tho ooffln
•nun, or themselves, is entitled to
the first money uftcr a poor man
dies. The law is ijnsettled on this
pinto ; but they say they can control
it, for if they arc to bo cut out they
wont lot him die at all, ^I’lic lawyers
aro going to memorialise the legisla
ture, becutiso whon a man omploys
om to git a homestead, and gives his
note for the fee, ho pleads the home
stead agin tho note when they sue
him on it, and thoy never git any fco
at all. Tho ruilroad men are holding
conventions to flx their freights so as
to build up the big citios and dry up
the little ones. 1 hud a box of dt*
anges sont mo from Florida the othor
day for two dollars freight, which I
dont grumble at, but find I could
huvo had cm shipped clean through
to Homo for 75 cents and bronght
back to Oartersvillo for a charter,
and saved a whole dollar by it. Tlioy
Bay its ohoapor fo run by a little town
than to stop at it, for tho friotion on
the broakH is niighty oxponsivo. The
teachers are holding, convent ions i<»
discuss whothor its best to put boys
upon their honor ujadletom dosasi
tlioy plouso or lick cm first and Appeal
to their honor aftonvards as a sido-
show. Its a contest betwoun Homan
and anti-Homan—the tight, and tho
loosojsystoms of instillin larnin. In
my opinion liarry one of om is going
to' make a good scholar out of a
hostile subject. Judge Wright says
ho wont to a Homan soliool for ten
yours und never found out which one
of.tho boys set behind him. lie was
afeerd to look back. Me favors the
Hemim systom for other pooplo’s
childron and other people favor if
for liison. ^ ~
And tho editor* ore to have a con
vent ion. They aie coming right
hero in Hurtow, tho center of old
Ohorokeo, tho focus of spaco—a
county whoso lands aro taxed higlior
jK>r acre than any oonnty iii the
Ht-ute—-tho headquarters of imaginary
iiidopbhdeiiee—whoso fanners Imvo
got os- fat and sussv us stall-fed
cattle and wont mix with tho com
mon howl. Thdy’vo had their own
way and their own .congressman so
long tlioy dent boiiovo thoro’s any
othor way, any other man that’s
fitting.
I’m glad you are coining up, for
it’s time our ptsoplo found out there
aro some other jfCopV with a hood
on. Willingham must be talkod to
by tho patriarchs. Ho reminds one
of tho fellow who weut to Camp
mooting up at Fairmount und wus
standin off by a troo whon a preacher
came up and axed him if lie didont
want to got roligimv, und ho looked
sorter ustonishod and said : “You’re
mistaken in tho man, I l'eokon. I
livo down in Hurtow.” I wish yon
would toll Willingham that last full’s
race is over, and his man wos elected,
so that he cun now turn his attention
to some fresher subjects. Chore’s a
a power of good in him yot, but you
can’t get it out by cussin at him. If
a brother bo overtakon in a fault,
ontreat him {toll him along gently;
show him a bundle of foddor. Edi
tors aro just human, like all the
balance of us. Thoy will git stub
born sometimes, and tho moro you
punch om tlio further thoy go in
their hole.
Then tberes that Oakalona man !
lie ought to bo put up and stabled
for the next war. Why, bo’s the
slowest critter on emotions I over
heard of. iu* iakon him just 14
years to git mad enough to fight*
Now wo aro all doing our best to
make peace und restore tho union
and have a love-feast, and this Oak
alona editor is just beginning to git
mad. Why he writes as if hb would
sic if you was to throw water on
him. There arc soino folks who aro
“Wlm'r’s tho man what shoved
cousin buck ?” “I just want to
the man who kept my Cousin
rollin down his checks. “W
the. man what shoved my ci
back ?”
Well, the man hud gone hom<
ho knowd it. Hut^mother big s
pin feller jumped 4n front of
with a whoop liko an injun and,
throwing off his cout, shrieked
“I’m tho man that shoved
cousin back. I’m tho individual you
are looking for. I’m tho bull of tho
woods. I’m the best man that
siiapped a jawbone. Bring on your
cousin, my friend.' I never fight
less than two at a time.” Tho cryin
feller and his cousin wore seen in
about two minutes gallopiu down
the roud on a little grizzly gray mule,
riding double.
I never hear from Oakalona that I
<}ont unconsciously exclaim—‘Wliar’s
tho man what shoved my cousin
back ?” Bill Alip.
there arc sonic who keep a mile <
two behind it. lie reminds me of
feller I saw at a burbeku last sun

Howovor, an hour pussod on-

sentries shriek, “To arms! thoy
eomo 1 tho Grook! tho Greek !”
'I’bis was not all Grook to Mr. Boz-
znrls. lie knew full well what it
meant, and, springing out of bed,
told tho boys to light into them while
lio got into his clothes. Then there
was iltuno und smoko and shout and
groan und sabre-stroke and doutli-
sliots falling thick und fast, like
lightning'from the .mountain cloud,
and tho uwfulest uproar gonorally

about to‘mop up tbo ground with
tho Moslom sluin, whon they heard,
with voico as trumpot loud, Bozzaris
ohoor his band from behind tho

A horrible massuoro of political
prisoners took pluoo in tho Koif
prison, Bussia, a short timo sinoo.
Tho authorities ascertained that the
prisoners intended to escape through
a tunnel. Nothing was dopo to pre
vent tho oontinnnnco of tho excava
tion, and when it was completed and
tho prisoners had entered it ono after
nnothor, soldiovs previously posted
at tho oponing shot them down us
thoy came up. Whon tho bulk of
tho prisoners, terrified by tho firing,
stopped and remained in the tunnel,
soldiers woro then *sont in from be

of tho Koif prison hus boon praised
