600 acres under cultivation in Georgia
in 1873 hut 1850, 600 were in Gotten,
and the remaining 300, 000in corn,
wheat, rice, sweet potatoes, and other

From the very beginning of this
war on liquids we have declined to
take sides, and we are not going to
commit ourselves by publishing poetry
for or against the women who are Gu
gagged in it. If We were compelled to
express our Opinion-and we are glad
we are Motive would say that the
best mode of correcting the great evil
is ly reforming those who do the
drinking. One converted drunkard
would strike more terror to the whisky
dealers than ninety and nine women
who need no reformation. We knew
IA quartelmaster during the war who
was I'LL the time annoyed by the ap-
plication Of the officers of the regiment
to carry their baggage in his wagons
whenever the camp was moved. On
one occasion orders were given to
pack up" and leave, and the work
had to he done in great haste, Us an
inconSidcrate and very formidable enc
my was close upon Us, and the few
rations we had were in imminent dan-
gcr. \ lieutenant rode up to the
quartcrmaster and, with a perplcxed
lock, said: Major, have YOU room
in vour wagons for =" "No, sir" re-
replied the little Major, ficrcely.
There Is no room in my wagons for
any of your ID baggage" That Is
too bad" said the lieutenant, riding
of, "it is pity that the heads of six
barrels of good whisky must he knock
ell out for want of transportation. "
There was pause. The quartermas-
ter began to think, and when he began
to think he began to get thirsty. The
entire situation was changed in an i'll
slant. oh lieutenant said he /;
"come back; | believe there is little
space in one of my wagons for one of
the barrels. Indeed, | do Mt know if
| can t take two or three"
Now we want the ladies to collect
about that quartermaster. He IL still
living, and there never has been mo-
mcnt Of his life, whether night or day,
that he was not willing to make room
for barrel or two. Let them pray
for him. Let them talk to him. He
will listen very politely-for he is Il
genuine and genial gcntleman-and
they may reform him. BY doing 50
they will close up half Il dozen saloons.
rs long as he lives and moves and ha-
his being there will be no such thing
as closing up the saloons in his neigh
b0rhood, unless he can be reformed.
He Is standing temptation for them
to violate any law that may he enact
ed to prevent the sale of liquids. He
is also living proof of the fact that
whisky won't kill. If the women in his
section want to succeed they must do
something with that man. They must
kill his thirst or kill him, or their wal
will come to most lame and impOtcnt
conclusion. He would cause drouth
and famine anywhere, even in the
land of Goshen; and, like Aaron Of
old, he can find liquids in rock. We
really hope the ladies will strike at
the root of the disease, not at the out
growth, the branches, the little twigs.

There are good many jolly fellows
ON whom the whisky war will bear
particularly hard. There hfe iueii who
have been soaked, who have been
first-class drunkards for the past thirty
years. They are romd-bellied, red

particularly odious. They would never

at the newspaper reports which tell of
the destruction Of 80 many barrels of

tears like a watering-pot when they
hear of the cutters being filled with

Mrs. Myra Bradwell, the proprietress
of The Chicago Legal News, Is not an
advocate of the union forever" al
least not of the Printers Union. 1t has
been the custom of the compositors to
demand and receive pay for the blank
pages of the briefs they worked upon.
Mrs Bradwell has come to the con-
clusion, however, after prayerful con-
sideration of the subject, that this
practice is not in keeping with the strict
rules of justice. She announced the re-
suit of her deliberations to the typos,
and they received the decision with
anything but smiles
A meeting was held aud speeches
made, and the printers in turn reached
the decision that under the rules Of the
union they coull not accept the terms
offered by Mrs. B. A committee
waited on the lady and made Known
the decision. She therefore informed
them that they were at liberty TO better
their condition by seeking other fields
of labor and usefulness, She i'm.
mediately advertised for printers, and
will in future run the office independent
of the union
Mrs. Bradwel says she docs not be-
lieve in paying for composition on pages

she cannot charge her patrons for blank
pages, she is determined not to 10
