Death of Judge 4. D. Longstrsst.

This distinguished sonot Georgia.
we are informed, died at Oxford,
Mics, on the 9th instant. % I'D - +. : :
Judge Longstreet was born in
the city Of Augusta, in September,
1890. He received his academic
training at the celebrated school
of the Rev. Moses Waddell, at
Wellington, s. @. Thence he be-
came member of Yale College,
where he graduated in 1S13.-
Next he studied law. After. his
admission to tho bar, he married
Miss Parks, and settled at Greene
borough, in Georgia. At this pc
riod Of his life, he wrote his inim.
liable work, the "Georgia Scenes" ;"
He next became O member Of the
Legislature, and next q Georgia
Judge. A Congression' career
next aroused bis ambition. But
amid the heat thereof, one of his
children died, and this event SO
affected him, that lie withdrew
from the contest, and began to
seek the Christian ministry. In
1888, he became a Methodist min
ister, and officiated at Augusta,
Georgia. In 1889, Judge Long
street was elected President o.
Emory College. Afterwards, he
filled the same post in the Centen
ary College, in Louisiana, in the
| University of South Carolina, and
In the University of Mississippi,
with which last institution he was
probably connected at the period
of his death.
He was in politics State rights
man. lie was a busy writer in
the department Of religion and
politics. Judge Longstreet's hu.
NOR was bern, and seems to have
died in the Georgia Scenes" as
his other humorous work, "Master
William Mitten," is more or less a
failure, and stood relatively to the
Georgia Scenes" as docs 4" Para
disc Regained" " to "Paradise
Lost" ' ..-.
Judge Longstreet was, In his
day and generation, n man of mark.
We shall, however, leave to others,
better acquainted than we with
his life and genius, to attempt an
anal ysis Of his career and charac-
ter. The Augusta Chronicle and
Sentinel, from which we have ia,
ken the facts connected with his
life, pays a handsome tribute to
Judge Longstreet's memory, and
gives us the gratifying assurance
that he passed from earth in the
full possession of his mental facul.
ties, and with the Joyous hope OF
the Christians immortality.

ing over what has been is not the
way to do it. II you want your

The Bright Side.

Look on the bright side. 1t il
the right side. The times may b,
hard, bnt it will make them nc
,easier to wear a gloomy and sad
countenance. 1t is the sunshine,
and not the cloud, that makes a
flower. There is always that be.
fore or around US which shonld
cheer and FIJI the heart will,
warmth. The sky is blue ten times
where it Is black once. You have
troubles, it may be. So have 9th.
ers. None are free from them.-
Perhaps it is as we'll that none
should be free from them. They
give sinew and tonc to life
tortitude and courage to man..
That would be q dnll sea, and the
sailor would never get skill, where
there was nothing to disturb the
surface of the ocean. It is the
duty Of every one to extract all
the happiness and enjoyment he
can, without and within and above
all, lie should look on the bright
side of things. What though
things do look a little dark Z The
lane will turn, and the night will
end in broad day. In the long
rnp, tho great balance rights itself
What is i'll becomes weli--what is
wrong, right. Men are not made
to hang down either heads or lips
and those who do, only show tina,
they arc departing from the paths
OF o., true common sense and right
There 10 more virtue in one sun
beam than a whole hemisphere OF
clouds and gloon. Therefore, VIC
repeat, look on the bright side OF
things. Cultivate what is warm
and genial--not the cold and re-
pulsive--the dark and morose.

Turnlps.

The most successful grower OF
turnips we have known, made it a
rule to SOW the seed in the last three
or four days of July. This allows
time enough to raise roots of the
largest size, suitable either for
stock or the market. A few days
sometimes make O marvellous diff.
ference in the product. For table
use, where quality is more desir-
able than size, farmers usually
sow from the 10th to the Goth of
August. Indeed We have heard
some persons say that the first OF
September is not too late; but we
have never succeeded in raising
anything larger than an egg when
sowed at that time. A good rule
is to have the land prepared as
soon as possible, and make use OF
the first season after The 25th or
2Sth Of this month.
We here spear of the white va
rieties-the Red Top, Norfolk, Flat
Dutch, &c. Rutabagas and Swedes

favorable, fair sized roots may bs

July; but as they require a long
time to como to maturity, the ear.

We have ever had was from seed

The only objection is, that the tops

not to be feared.
We know of no preparation 70,

SMALL INDUSTRIES The resour-
ces of the Southern States arc al
most innumerable. There are a
great many ways of earning an
honest penny, which have never
entered into the heads Of our peo-
pie, for the simple reason that We
have always lived under the delu-
sion that there was no money in
anything but cotton. Under the
old regime this was we'll enough,
but we may as well wake mp to
the truth a: once-this is no longer
a planting country--we must di-
rect our attention to other re-
sources, or come to grief. The
sooner we begin to realize the fact
and act upon it, the better. It is
true that it is very difficult, with q
sparse population to introduce re-
form, but once begun, good may
come OF it. -.
DR.. Porcher has pointed out, in
his admirable work on the re.
sources of our fields and forests, q
great many important features
We have roots, herbs, trees and
shrubs, containing valuable medi-
cinal properties. We have fruits
growing wild, capable of being
converted to valuable purposes {;
VIC have barks for tanning and
dying, and wood for furniture,
carriage making, clay for pottery,
and thousand other small indus
tries worth looking after.

|
to the Agriculturist. -
We cordially unite with the
Chronicle and Sentinel, OF Angus.
ia, Georgia, in advising our people
to provide against a dearth Of pro.
visions, likely to result from war
in Europe. That war must en-
nance the price of breadstuffs and
depress the value Of cotton. At
all times, we have deemed it q
ruinous policy to plant. cotton to
the exclusion Of corn and grain
generally. Now, more than ever,
does it become us to review this
policy. Our cotemporary says:
There is time yet for something
ITO be done to sustain our past er.
ror, and make ne less dependent
for food upon the North and West.
Nature has blessed us with gener-
ous climate and a fruitful soil,
well adapted to the growth OF
grapes, small grain and root crops.
These grow and flourish here dur.
ing the entire winter. a few acres
of land we'll prepared aud proper
ly enriched, will secure a full an6
abundant crop of turnips, beets OF
carrots for the supply of animal'
during tho entire winter anG
spring. A small plat of land,
highly fertilized and sown in rye
or barley, early in September,
will furnish large supplies of for.
age, after the root crops shall have
been exhausted. The long stem
blue collard is a hardy winter
plant, and will yield more per
acre on good land, we'll prepared,
than any plant with which we are
acquainted. The collard is highly
nutritious for man and beast, and
for butter-making qualities, is a
superior food for milch cows. Let
all these be tried.
We would suggest, as a suitable
provision, for orr present situation
something like the following: For
q farm of ten mule force, one acre
each in turnips, beets, carrots and
collards, and two acres in rye -
The turnirs (rutabagas) should be
sown in drills two and.a.half feet
apart, from the goth to the last Of
this month, the beets, carrots and
collards, also in drills in the same
distance, about the middle Of Au,
gust, and the rye, broadcast, by
the first of September. This will
furnish a full supply for the work
stock, cattle, sheep and hogs on an
ordinary plantation of the size in.
dicatt d. Mules, with q very little
care, can be kept fat and in good
working condition up to the first
of April. This is too important a
matter to be neglected. Great
distress, if not actual starvation,
must cnsue in some localities next
year unless we take time by the
torelock and amply provide against
such q iamentable contingency
But it must be remembered that
full crops can only be made on
land well prepared and highly fer,
tilized. Peruvian guano or any
of the standard snper.phosphates,
in the absence Of rich stable ma.
nnro or cotton seed, at the rate OF
200 pounds of the Peruvian, or
$50 of the super:phosphates, on
land thoroughly plowed and well
narrowed, will be sufficient to sc,
cure good crop. Let every ono
try and relieve himself from the
clutches of grain and bacon specu
lators.
