J). W. NEED, Ord’y. oct7-90d ' • ’ • CALHOUN, GA„ SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1876. Going Courting. One of the chief co upensations of a woman’B life is found in the fact that she does not have “to go a-courL ing.” It must be confessed that in, these days, the m* dern belle does her share ot wooing but she does not have to dress up in a stiff collar, and a pair of boots two sizes too small for her. and walk to the cannon’s mouth of her ina morata’s family consisting of father,and mother, and grandmother, and maiden aunt, a half dozen brothers anu sisters and inquire in trembling voice : “Is Miss Arauiinta at home?” Whenever a man goes a.-courting eve rybody seems to know all about it. His demeanor tells the observant spectator the business be is intent upon. lie might just a3 well placard himself with the legend—“l go a-courting.” Eve rybody is cognizant of it, and looks knowing and asks him if the northern lights were bright last night about one o’clock,” and "how the market is for kerosene up to Daddy Brown’s” a> and a score of other questiurs equally out of place. We have in our family, at present a young man is deeply, we trust sue cessl'uliy. engaged in going courting; and our warmest sympathies have been aroused for him. When Sunday afternoon arrives it is plain vo see that something is about to happen. Our young man is fidgety, and noncommunicative, and cannot sit in one place half a minute at a time He is continually interviewing his watch, and comparing i*. with the old eight day coffin shaped clock in the corner.— He looks in ‘.he glass frequently, and draws his forehead locks back and then forward and combs them up and pats them down, and is unsatisfied with the effect throughout. The smell of bay-rum and bergamot is plainly apparent. When he shakes out his handkerchief musk is percepti ble. His boots shine like mirrors ’ here is a taint odor of cardeoun seeds in his breath when he yawns. lie smooths his budding mustache, those affectionate little pets, and f. els his invisible side whiskers continually,to make sute they are still there a fact which is not established to outside observers by the sense of sight. He (ties on all his stock of neck ties without finding what is just the thing; and he has spasms of* brushing his eoa., that c mimetic* with violence and at last till one grows nervous for fear the broad-cloth will never be able to stand it. He declines soup that day at. dinner He says it is because he d< esn’t feel hungry, but we know it is because there is onions in it, and onions, as everyone knows, do not sweeten one’s breath to any extent. Ifsp iker to on a sadden he start and blushes, aod looks as guilty :s it tie hid been caught stealing something and direc ly one does lot speak to him. he goes back to the delightful occupa tion o‘‘-taring at nothing and wailing for 1 1 hour-hand to cricp around t<- Si l. At seven he se s forth clean and ti dy from top to toe, looking precisely as if he had just stepped out of a baud* box. insyx a hv and in imagination we follow him Affairs are tot fully undeisteod be tween him am' Mary Jane He is stiil in • ‘ate ofanxiou*, thou rh somewhat t ssful uncertainty. He dies not, feel qui whether she means business or is flirting with him. Consequent.y he is somewhat tim id. He steps through the gate into Man Jane’s parental domicile with inward trepidation. He is not entirely certain that his vi.-ite are welcome. He won ders if the old folks will be at home, or if they will have hud the grace to go to evening meeting and leave the coast clear. He devoutly that these two little brothers are in bod for they are the torment of his life since he ha uoen trying to court Mary Jane and if that "other fellow” is there be mentally vows that he’ll know what such carrying-on means—yes,that he will. B. the time he reaches the doorsteps he is in a cold sweat, and almost wishes he had’nt come. He rings the bell with a nervous jerk, and then feeds -in insane desie to rush off - down the street without waiting for any one to answer the summons But he hears footsteps within, and knows that it is too !."te to make good his escape. So he remains, and puts a bo’d face on it. and f ids those side whiskers, and smiles hopeful ly. and says to himself that he does hope Mary Jane will come to the dooi herself, and not send that grinning ser vant g'rl who giggles in his face, and then crams her apron into her mouth to stop further developments when ho in quires. “Is Miss Mary at home?” After hp gets inside the house he is siill in a state of perrdox’ty. Will his welcome be warm enough to admit of his removing his overcoat and leaving it in the hall ? or will the state of the atmosphere be such that he will feel chilly round his heart with his overcoat on ? When he is seated in the parlor, the problem he is called upon to solve K what is he to do with his feet and hands ? His hands he can put in his pocket when every thing else fails, and he most devoutly wishes that he could dis pose of his feet in the same manner. What shall he talk about after the Truth Conquers All Things.” topic of the weather is exhausted. Does she notice his side whiskers, and think them becoming? Does she like the way his hair is parted ? and does she think a blue necktie becouii ig to him ? All these vexed questions pass through his mind,and he sits on a corner of a chair and looks at her, and thiuks how charming he is, and would give all his spare money to rise aud take a seat beside her on the sofa, where she has left room for him, and wants him to sit, no doubt. But then a wiwiian may not express her mind on such a thing. His heart siuks as he hears in the next room the old man’s sonorous “Ahem ! ahem !” atjd knows by the rat tling of things generally that the parents of his love are preparing to retire tu their bedroom, which joins the parlor and is separated fy a tbin partition, which gives au easy passage to sound, and conveys to ears maternal and pater ua! every "kiss of youth and love ’he may give to Mary Jane, and the little feminine squeak which be knows will attend every such performance. Aud he revolves anxiously within his own mind what diabolical scheme of vengeance against lovers does possess the brains of the majority of house cars penters in this world which induces them to consruct houses with bed rooms for old folks adjoining the pallors. Le trembles every ti jie he hears a door open anywhere lest those en'ants terrible may be about to make their ad vent, and like the mercury ii dogdays, his heart goes up, as he hears the noisy tread of their f etas they ascend to the regions above for their noetural siesta. And in spite uf all these minor troub les, and a legion of others besides, ou young man is happy ; for he is young* and glouiour of first love is over him and we suppose he would not dispense with the pleasure of courting for any thing ii> the world.— Kate Thorn in N Y. Weekly. The Hand of the Mother. L've is lull of service. It is tireless in ministry It is always giving. It is of active, busy energetic principal. It find- ii's happ : ness in working and spend ing. What will not the mother do for her child ? What the wile for her hus band ? Let the recollection of your childhood, let the experience of life testify. We have seen many a snowy hand fair and plump, and sweet to look upon, aod fingers whose purity rivaled 'he gems they wore, but. the bauds that live in recollection fairer than they ali are the lean toilwrinkled h-'tids of moth er.

They were made so by toiling for us The dear old we-ri ess hands, without orna ment save ti e one plain circle af golu wo* n through all the years from mar riage day to grave-day—what ! ad the\ not done for us all ? They have lifted us, and soothed us, arul fed us. and la bored for us unceasingly, and to-day they stand in recollection the symbol and types of serving love those aged -baking hands of our mother. It was love that made them active, ij was love that rude them tireless. And what a joy it was, when she was aged, to sit and lu Id, and smooth them, and cares theui ! And how that they are folded m everlasting rest, they live in vision, and will li* e until we clasp them once again upon the everlasting shore, < ts— The ENilifical Outlook. The New York Herald, in comment ing upon 'he situation holds that the result of Tuesday's election will have no effect, one way or the other on the vote of the Southern States, which will be solid or nearly s- J id. for the Demo cratic ticket as it would liave been in any event.

FELTON. What Others Think and Say. Wm H Fel on will run as an inde pendent. He is certain to be beaten,as is every man who desets his party and courts Republicans to secure their votes. Columbus Enquirer. We must “run with patience the race that is set before us,” condemn and drive into obscui ity such “independent” men as Judge A R Wright and Con gressman Felton.

Text—‘‘There is a way that seemeth right to man. but the end thereof,’’ etc We hope it will not be sacrilegious to quote here this sublime precaution from Oracles of Divine Truth, as a text to discourse from in the manner which tol lows, although in aid of subjects of somewhat ? similar nature, appertaining however, to morality. It may seem right to a man to neg lect paying his debts for the sake of lending or speculating upon his money, but the end thescof is—a bad p; yen as/ ter. It may seem right to a man to live beyond his income, but the end thereof is wretchedness and poverty. It may seem right to a man to attempt t live upon the fashions of the times, but the end thereof is—disgusting to all sensible folks and ruinous to health, reputation and poverty. It may seem right, to a man to at tempt a livelihood without industry and economy, but the end thereof is—hun ger and rags. It may seem right to a man to keep constaply borrowing of his neighbors, and never willing to lend, but the end thereof is—very cross neighbors. It may seem right to a man to be always trumpeting his own fame, hut the end thereof is—his fame don’t ex. tend very far. It. may sem right to a man io trouble kiaiself veiy much about his neighbors’ business, but the end thereof is—great negligence of his own. It may seem light to a man to be constant.y slandering bis friends, but the end thereof is—nobody b.lieVes anything he says. It may seeui right to a_man to indulge his children in every thing, but the end thereof is—his children will indulge themselves in dishonoring him. D may seem right to a man to out • ■fif what ought to bo done to day until to-morrow, but. the end (hereof is— such things are not done at all. It may seem right to a man to attempt pleasing everybody, but the end thereof is—he pleases nobody. It may seeui right to a man to excel his neighb rs in extravagances and lux inies, but the end thereof is —he excel.- them in folly. It, may seem ri iz;lifr to a man to take no newspa r er. bat the end the r eof is— that man and his family are totally ig. norarit of t'ae ordinary occurrences of the day. It may seem ri In to a man to obtain his news by borrowing and stealing ol' his neighpors, but the end thereof is— annoyance to Us neighbor and iraud upon the printer. It may seem right to a man to pay vervb'dy before he pays the printer •md minister, bur. the end thereof is— he pays the most needy last, if he pays tlnm at all. It may seem rieht to a man to wnr ship the creature more the Creator, but the end thereof is—an idolater. r iow Many Apples did A jam and EVe Eat ?— Some say Eve 8 and Adam 2. a total of ten only.

All fowls aud animals from a chicken to a cow cat them greedily’. Whe i washed through a coarse wire seive they make delightful bread pics, aud puddings. When kneaded with wheat bran, and well baked in pn oven, the b;ead may be p it away for winter use when want ed, The following is the receipt which Mr. Jefferson gave for making the Leer arid it is the best: Sweet ripe persim mons mashed and strained, 1 bushel. Wheat bran half a bushel. IMix well together, and bake in loaves of conven ient size. Break them in a clean barrel and add 12 gallons ol water and two or three ounces ol hops, which may lit ob tained at a drug store. Keep the bar rel in a warm room. As soon as fer mentation subsides Lottie off the beer, having good long errks, and place the tv tiles in a low temperature, and it will keep and improve for twelve months, if not drank before, which is likely to be done This beer when properly made in a warm room is an exquisitely .delightful beverage, as the writer knows from personal trial and txperience. It contains no alcohol, and it is to the con noissuer of temperate taste, not inferior to the fermented juice of the grape. The ordinary way of making it is more simple, aid it is relished by all who use it. A layer of straw is pul in the botom of the cask on which a suita ble quantity of the fruit, ve 1 ma bed is placed, \ and then the cask is fi led with water. It should stand in a warm room, .and if the weather is cold former tatior will be promoted by occasionally putting a waimstonein the barrel. 'The addition of a lew honey or apple peelings, will make the beer more bi itk Wheat bran always improves the quality. Many are fond of locust beer. That is made in the same way and is im> proved by tlie addition of apple peel ings, but it is greatly inferior to the persimmon beer. In putting away the beer, made according to Mr. Jefferson’s plan, jugs may be used insterd of bot tles, but they must be tightly corked. Watchmtn. The Georgia Election. As we predicted yesterday liio (Jeers gia election shows to appreciable lle publicau opposition. lien A. 11. Col#, quitt has been chosen Governor by a majority which patient figuring will have to place at the proper distance be tween 40,000 and 70,000 voters. The Legislature is almost unanimously Dem ocratic. Under Democatic rule Geor gia lias advanced to the front rank of pros perity More negroes own land in Uto. - gia than in all the rest of the Southern States put together, and Georgia is the most pronounced Democatic Southern State. These two facts explain the pros perity to all races under Democratic ule. The people are so forgetful that only a few can be expected to remember what the condition o<‘ Georgia was un der bay. net imposed and bayonet sus tained Republican rule which was kept hi power by disfranchisement, It was m condition of bankruptcy in resources mdofllayti in society and ol’ g’and larcery and murder in administration, flie highest officers were n bbors forgers highwaymen, murderers and conspira tors, in the severest legal senses of those terms. With Democracy have come peace, order, prosperity, the lull recog nition of the rights of all, and harmony between all classes The reason the South is Democratic is because the most rudimentary matters which make life tolerable are imposible usder the sub version of society which Republicanism produces. It is a uecsity of human na ture for Republicanism and rascality are synonimons terms in the South. Northern citizens who have traveled South appreciate this fact. The South knows it. In time all the north will know it, for the tiutli is making its own impression better, deeper, clearer and further than lies this year. —Brooklyn Eagle — Louisiana Coming. It locks now as though Louisiana would be one of the solidest States of a •solid South.” 'The New Orleans Dem ocrat says the negroes are leaving the Republican party by hundreds and thousands and that the Democrats will carry the State in November, soldiers or no soldiers, by not less than thirty thousand majority. ‘Here in Louisi ana,” it adds,“ the desertion is a per fect avalanche. In Natchitoches there are over 1,000 Democratic colored men enrolled in clubs. In Morehouse Rich la rid, Rapides. Madison. East Baton Rouge Pointe Coup,East atid \Y est Feliciana, they are equally numerous In St Ma ry’s there is a Democratic colored club in each ward,and so in many other par ishes.” Thi? desertion of the Rad.cal p?rty bv the negroes comes not from intimidation <>r coercion in any form, but from the broken pledges the profligacy and scoun dreiism of the carpet-baggers and scala wags who nave heretofore led them on ly to delude rob, blackmail and swindle They have voted and rai ed large sum-’ of money for public schools only to plunder he fund, fool the negro and wrong and injure him in every way. This thing has been carried so far that the honest negroes of the South now demind a change. And tins accounts for Packard’s want of negro troops u to keep the d—nd plantation niggers from voting the Democratic ticket,”
