Lottie was Mis Henrietta's orphan niece, and had been a member of her household for nearly a year. She had learned dearly to love the prim old lady, though that love was not unmixed with tear. Her wants had all been kindly pated and generously supplied; but now she had come to her aunt with a request for a few shillings to spend on trifles, of which Miss did not approve, and Lad been flatly denied. Oh, dear, what should she do Harry had always brought her some tasteful gift, and she did so want to make him a for his new Derby. She bad dream- ed that she could not, and had put it off till the last moment. The great drops welled up sud- to her eyes. If Miss w any symptoms of heartache, she had had heartaches, herself, and had never killed her yet. But Lottie did not mean to droop. Auntie was usually kind, and was albeit her only relative except Harry. Well, Harry was not a relative oh, dear, if she could only have a hat- band.

I was young and had my way to make, and we re- solved to wait two years before settling down. Over back of the hills yonder there lived a girl named Nancy Brown, a pretty, pale creature, who seemed just ready to go oft to the angels. I was called to attend her, and I wanted to do my best. I knew they could never pay me a cent, and perhaps tor that reason I went a little oftener than I needed. Nancy had one precious thing, her. rosebush ; small then, but giving promise of great things. It did seem as if everybody it to her, for half the town, in one way or another, sought to make it worth her while to give it up. the motives were good.

I have been down here for about a month now, most of which time I spent in Coffee county, and have seen much to in- and amuse me. This is es- a milling and turpentine country, and there can be found at almost every mile post on the railroad either a saw mill or a still, sometimes both being located at the same I have met with several since I have been in this section, every one of whom save two were engaged in the tine business. Every time I meet a man and tell him where I hail from bis first question is to ask me where my still is located. idea is so general that a North Car- can do nothing else make turpentine, that surprise is always expressed I say I know nothing about the business and never saw any of the work going on until I came down here. Up to years ago land in this section was thought to be perfectly worthless except tor the timber upon it, but it has been proven that it is first-class farming land and yields as much per acre in all kinds of farm products as any other section of the State. The finest corn I have seen in Georgia was seen in in this county, a few days since. The were large and full, and com- pare favorably with the corn grown in Pitt county. Since the fact has been established that farming is profitable down here, many per- sons have engaged in it and there is rapid improvement going In addition to the other crops, which are made in this section, quite a of sea island cotton is be grown here, and this kind of cotton is far ahead of the short staple. It readily sells at from to cents a pound, and as per acre is about the same as short cotton, there is a vast differ- in favor of the large staple. I have seen quite a number of bales sea island cotton ready for mar- and have seen how it is gin- red and packed. Instead of saws with which to cut off the lint from the seed, as is common with the ordinary cotton, the long gins are arranged a different plan being made of rollers, which full off, instead of cutting the lint. n this way the length of the is preserved, and the value the article greatly enhanced. But the method is a slow one, the av- capacity per day of a gin be- to pounds of lint. In packing and baling this cotton for market no press is used, the being to drive it into the bag which holds it by means of an stick or pestle. It would seem that this is a very slow way of packing and that bales of cotton would be very light when packed, but I have seen as much as pounds of hut put in a bale in this manner. country here la almost entirely undeveloped, and land can be bought for almost any price. per acre is con- a largo price to pay for a farm, even in the best localities On the line of railroad, and at the towns and stations, there is considerable sign improvement, hut in the interior the people seem contented to plod along in the same old or their grand- fathers, one hundred years ago. As a class they are not very en- lightened, and do not seem to want to know any more than they now do. In interior of Coffee county the natives call all citizens of another State foreigners, even call citizens of other portions of Georgia by the same name. They era vary simple in their its for dress or dis- few and seem to satisfied with their station to Me. I was told by the with whom I stopped the greater of the time I was Coffee that it was a common thing the time horse or back to church on Sunday and with spars on their Woe, bat what we saw other amusing and strange things is a native of Terrell county, in this State, and consequently a fur- He has been down here about fourteen years, is now regarded as a native. I attended one of the Sunday vice at one of the church- es while down there, and while the day was too cold for the folks to go barefoot, I saw enough to convince me that what I had heard about them was true. The church was a small log. hut, covered over to keep out care was taken to have it well ventilated. There were cracks be- tween the logs large enough to the bleak November winds blowing through them made it quite disagreeable. I expected to hear a that would compare with the appear- of the church, and was great- surprised at the result. True, the preacher was not an educated in an and used plain, simple but he handled his text we and gave god, sound advice to his hearers. Many a sermon have I heard from preachers professing to be educated who failed to make as line an argument favor of Chris- as did this Hardshell preacher in the Georgia pine woods While simple and uneducated these people are very hospitable and treat all comers with the most They are ever ready to do a favor at all times and will show you every courtesy at their houses. As stated above, the gentleman with whom I stopped in Coffee county told me many funny and strange things, among the est being this, which he says is perfectly true, and which has been in main by a doz- en or more parties whom J have met since Clinch county lives a man whose career has been a checkered one, many and dire mis fortunes having befallen him. First, when a quite a small boy he was caught by an alligator and nearly eaten tip before rescued. A little later on he was caught in a cane mill and almost ground into sausage meat. Recovering from this accident he ran afoul of a rat- snake, who tried his hand up on him, but failed to get in a death stroke. This served to last until be was grown, when a pan- sprang upon him and succeed- ed in making a meal of a portion of his back and shoulder before being beaten off. Surely this ought to be enough of en adventure for one man to in his life, but there had to be a grand finale to his career in order to give him permanent notoriety, and as there were no other animals to chew him up, stole a cow and served a term in the State penitentiary therefor. This last was consider- ed his greatest achievement, and is the one upon which be brags most loudly And this same man is said to be the meanest in the following being given as proof . When attacked by the panther, as alluded to above, a friend heard his cries for assistance and running to his picked up gun which had been knocked from his hand when panther sprang upon him. and dis- charging the contents of the gun into the brute's body used it as a club until it was finally killed. In this manner the gun was broken.

We arrived just as the bell called the pupils in from the noon The first thing that pressed us here was th e manner in which the recitation rooms were entered and work resumed,. There was no confusion and no time lost, but every pupil knew bis or respective place and was ready for work instantly. Our first half hour was spent in the room of Duckett, Principal of the school, who was hearing in algebra. Of him and his work it is unnecessary to say any- thing at present. We have made mention of him in former articles and patrons of the school have dis- covered that he is an efficient teacher and in every way qualified to the duties of his We then went to the room of Prof. the assistant Principal, and found him hearing class in arithmetic. The lesson was in and we were truly surprised at the with which some of the pupils returned answers to the examples given them. Instead of the old time column after column of figures to ascertain the various payments, shorter and more rapid methods were used. For instance a number of pupils were sent to the black board with an example of five different payments and in three minutes the correct answer was returned. Another more one containing six payments was given and the answer return ed in four minutes. Prof. is giving great in his teaching. lie is a mathematician and gifted with the power to easily impart his knowledge to others. From here we went to the department in charge of Miss Toll. This department was ex- interesting.

Next came spelling and this was follow- ed by arithmetic. In all they gave evidence of being under skilled training and reflected it upon themselves and teacher. Miss Tull ranks among the finest primary instructors in this section of the State. We next visited the music rooms m charge of Miss Cannon. She is good work with pupils and they make rapid progress instruction. She believes in thoroughness, and advances on upon merit. Miss Cannon is a graduate of the Illinois of Music and is the finest teacher the Institute has yet bad. The housekeeping at the is excellent.

It is an old fallacy that the only time to apply manure is in the Spring, just before planting crop. of the present day and generation are learning better and the more they manure in fall more they appreciate the value of fall manuring. The fol- low from a successful farmer is to the point, so we quote proper time to apply ma- ism the late fall or winter. Our grandfathers used to think there was no time to spread ma- but in spring. They were right then, but if we think so now we are wrong. Why Things have changed since then. They bad more snow in winter and more rain in summer, both of which have a great effect upon the soil. Then the winter was a very busy time of year ; besides their chores, they bad busking and threshing to do, which was done with the old-fashion flail. There was wood to chop, and countless other things to do by which are now done by machinery. many objections will be raised to winter application. Some say manure spread in the fall loses a great part of its strength. How can it It is soon covered with snow, and what would evaporate does not amount to much anyway. Plant food does not evaporate. Then you say perhaps on some soils it may leach. I do not thick you ever knew of a case of the kind, in land that was tilled. It may leach if left in piles, or in a barn- yard, or under the eaves Those are places where leaching curs. Then you say, if spread in the snow the beer part of the ma- will wash oft in spring. This very seldom happens. The snow melts gradually, and the ground is thawing at the same time and it takes up the plant food as fast as it comes in contact with it. I should not advise any one to spread manure on a steep hillside in winter, neither would I ad- vise you to spread land that was very much sloping on top of a bard crust of snow ; there are to all things. But, brother farmers, you will make money in more than one way by spreading manure in the fall or winter. In the first place you will save leaching and other wastes barnyard, you will save time, which is money, and your crops will be enough better to pay for all will on tar- ref or be generally acceptable to th Democracy. is that are working up a measure to that el- feet, so that in the event of Dem- dissension, can take advantage of the situation. their bill through, and the enemy's thunder. Senator Chandler's bill to Congressional elections in States of South Carol inn, Flor Mississippi, and by the of Federal m and supervisors, is the very worst bill of all, and if it should the Senate, would never become a law. because there is valid reason why these States should be tingled out for regulation. Such is worthy of this same Chandler, who was largely mental in stealing the votes of three of these States for his Rutherford B. Hayes who was first and only man to dishonor the Presidential chair. The dissolving Republican party has given proof as strong as holy writ of its decadence by spewing into the American House of Mil- Chandler, the and the brazen beneficiary of monumental political infamy of modern times. the gods wish to destroy, they first make Washington Letter. Special to Reflector. D. C, Dec. 16th With characteristic fairness Speaker called Mr. Mills to chair this week, and, de to the floor, requested the House to choose Committee on Elections. This unusual action was taken on account of the con- test of against up- on which committee is to pass, and the Speaker declined to have any voice in the selection of tribunal which will try the issue, so that, no matter what the result, he cannot be charged with the Committee in bis per- and political interests. Some of the Republican extremists favor sending a Congressional Commit- tee to Kentucky to have an chiefly for the purpose of making much needed political cap- ital. But this can hardly be as the evidence m the contest is virtually closed and the case will probably be conducted with the regular formality of judicial pro- at bar of the House. As but two the House Com- have been appointed, that body baa not begun its regular work, but the meantime, the members are mapping out much legislation, a good deal of it on the tariff question. Mr. Kendall is preparing a rev- bill, looking to a reduction of taxation ; Mr. Mills, probable Chairman of Ways and Means Committee, is training a bill, based upon a reduction of internal revenue taxation and a largely free list.

It has been our custom for years past to issue no paper during the week intervening between Christ- mas and New Year, but to observe it as a holiday in which to give attaches of the office some needed rest and recreation. In keeping with that rule we again ask the indulgence of our many readers in not publishing the Rb next week. Throughout past year paper has appear- ed regularly promptly, while it will be missed next week we are sure it is not in any one to deny us this holiday. After battling through the trials and troubles of the year no one unacquainted with the details of a newspaper office can ever know what they a week's rest is no more than is besides wishing a little recreation and rest from labor, it requires sometime to adjust affairs of the closing year and prepare to enter vigorously upon duties of the new one.

To our patrons we owe all will ever entertain feelings of deep gratitude to them.

The county bad no authority to make an order directing the sheriff to grant it, and the latter had no such authority. There is therefore error. The judgment must be reversed, the verdict of not guilty entered upon the special verdict set aside, and the verdict of guilty thereupon en- and farther proceedings had in the action according to law. To that end let this opinion to the Superior court. It is The decision has been awaited with much interest by our citizens for some weeks past, and with con- anxiety by some. There was consequently much sensation, with no little comment, when the opinion was made public. Brick Dost No man fails dies trying. Never place confidence in a per- son who has not been tried. No man ever yet failed till he confidence in himself. Drunkenness can be cured, but it is far better to prevent it. There is no beauty so deep or lasting as that of a loving heart. A man need not believe quite all that he hears against himself. The darkest night was never yet longer than the brightest day. We in an anti-poverty car- that never stops at a saloon. Oppression of any who are in the minority is the greatest cow- It is far better to educate per sons to keep out of sin than to con- them out. God excludes no person from Heaven or happiness simply on ac- count of poverty. It may require more time and means to raise a flower than a weed, but the market is better. To be lied about teaches us not to believe the one tenth of the bad things said against others. Many a chip of the old block is but a chip of old blockhead and therefore nothing to be proud of. It is an impossibility tor any number of men to put asunder what God bath really joined to What km I Is D t The symptoms of happily too well known, different individuals to some are They differ in extent. A billions man is seldom a breakfast eater Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent appetite for liquids but none for solids of a morning. His tongue will hardly bear inspection at any time; if it is not white and furred, it is rough, at all events. The digestive system is wholly out order and Diarrhea or Constipation may be a symptom or the two may alternate There are often Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood. There may be giddiness and often headache and acidity or flatulence and tenderness in the pit of the stomach. To correct all this if not effect a cure try Green's trifle and thousands attest its efficacy. General Phil.
