divided into three periods-

in rough houses, working small
patches with rude implements,
their wants supplied to great ex-
tent from tho game with which
the woods abounded. Truly a
primitive period of agriculture
In the second we find the small
patch developed into the wide
field of Virginia soil, diligently
cultivated, and as a result, tho
overflowing crowded with
everything to make the home a
place of bounteous content.
There were well filled cribs,
the sleek cattle grazing on
the hillside, the fat porkers grunt-

table home peace and
plenty reigned, the contented and
prosperous farming class. But

Some eight months ago the
Atlanta Constitution, the greatest
Southern paper, and perhaps one
of greatest in tho nation,
chased the largest printing press
brought South, at a cost of
thirty thousand dollars. Its
capacity was forty eight thousand
per hour. The Constitution
not thinking of making a
ten-page daily did not order
a press to print a ten-page paper.
It has been found out that a ton-
page is the most satisfactory daily
and to print that they have to
make two runs in sixes and fours.
To avoid this difficulty they have
ordered a new press at the cost of
forty thousand dollars that will
print, fold, cat and deliver papers
of any size from two to twenty-
four pages at the rate of twenty-
four thousand per hour. This
new press will be the largest ever
brought South and will be exactly
like those on which the great New
York dailies are printed. In
chasing the large press last fall
the Constitution went considerably
beyond the limits of any other
Southern paper, but in its present
purchase it has jumped beyond its
own former bounds, but not be-
what it can sustain. It has a
weekly circulation of and
a daily double that of any other
paper in Georgia. Its circulation
is constantly increasing and at its
present progress it bids fair to be-
come the greatest paper in Amer-

It is a very difficult matter to
keep anything secret after it has

President or one of the heads of the
departments. Therefore It is not
surprising that the principal object
the mysterious visit of Co. In

White House last week should have
leaked out. It is as yet known to
very few, but one of the number has
given it to me. The two
gentlemen were on a sub-

Secretary Blaine, they came
here for that if Mr. Harrison, and
there is reason to believe they got
it. The scheme is to lay a cable be-
tween some point, not yet decided
upon, in the United States and
Brazil, and the expectation of the
promoters of the project is that the
subsidies that be obtained from
this Hit and that of Brazil
will be more than enough to lay the
cable. The idea is to be popular-
zed by giving out tho statement
that the cable, like the subsidized
steamships, is necessary before we
can receive the full benefits of re-
with Brazil. It isn't con-
probable that any
involving the payment of a subsidy

of the Fifty-first Congress.

IN MEMORIAM.
Carrie, the beloved wife of Harry W.
Stubbs, Esq., gently passed away at
on Friday morning, July 3rd,
1891.
Her death was a shock to the com-
and threw a pall of over
the hearts her many friends at home
and abroad.
Mrs. Stubbs was possessed of an
amiable disposition, a bright, genial
nature, and a kind and generous heart.
She attracted hosts of friends to herself
by her kind, and tender bearing
toward all with whom she came in con-
tact. Novel haughty, never arrogant
was she; but having at all times a
sunny smile, a kind word, or a pleasant
look for the lowest as well as the highest.
This writer admired her for the purity
of her life, for her many shining virtues
and for the charming- which
apples or gold in pictures of
life. And above all,
did he esteem her for her walk
and life. Doubtless. like others, she had
her faults, but they were eclipsed by the
and bean y of her
She loved her church with pure and loyal
devotion, and her God from the inmost
depths of her soul. Hers was, indeed, n
lovely character adorned with the grace
of submission, and irradiated by the
sunlight of love.
the scene has changed. All the
hopes of are suddenly blighted and
light fades before the approach of the
dark winged Reaper. Friends stand by
her bier and weep. A fond
heart is bleeding and crushed as he
bends o'er his soul's treasure,
and bewails the loss of departed joys.
And now loving hands bear the casket
In which God's beloved the
quiet borne of the dead, strew the grave
with beautiful flowers, and leave
loved one to await of the
morning when the mists shall vanish
from the grave, and the spirit
of wife and mother and friend, shall
a sweet and eternal resting place in
of God.
The Lord regard in tender compassion
