Mr.. A. r. Heath, of Roswell. this year
sowed two acres in wheat, cut it. and made
enough wheat to do his family two years.
He then sowed the land in millet and har-
vested good crop. He then prepared the
same ground and sowed turnip seed, which
has made him 800 bushels of turnips, worth
$500 This was an experiment which has
proved so successful, that he has resigned "a
clerkship in a store at Roswell and proposes
to farm on a larger scale.
Good Dentistry at lowest prices, Reynolds.
...Since the editor of the Atlanta Phono-
nograph was offered ten dollars by Ham to
suppress an editorial opinion, (Which was
nine dollars too high, he has got an idea
that he has the right to twit everybody that

the vagaries that sweet William" is priv
legged to enjoy until he gets married, then
he will learn better.

A correspondent of the Chicago
Ledger, in writing of the Southern
States, says: "Many reasons exist
for making infinitely valuable to the
people of this country, for homes, the
mountainous region of North Geor>
gia, and the section of that charac-
ter adjoining. In that naturally fa~
vored hill country, it was declared
by the Cherokees, when they were
made ito abandon it for the lands
west of the Mississippi, "a man was
never sick or sorry and at present
it is encouraging to know that every
year public attention is getting some
what drawn to it, the chief attraction
being its mild and healthful climate
which supplies favorable conditions
for many who find it impossible to
live in the severer climate of the
North"

Says the Jacksonville Mountain
Chronicle: "a singular case to be
tried 10 the Gilmer Superior Court
next week. About a year ago a
Snowman was exhibiting trained
monkey in said county. Among
other tricks, the monkey had been
taught to fire a pistol. The shows
man handed him the pistol and told
him to shoot the ugliest man in the
crowd Some mischievous boys had
put shot in the pistol, and when the
monkey had picked out his man aud
fired, the shot took effect and slight
ly wounded the ugly man, who whip
ped out his knife, cut the monkey's
throat, and whipped the Snowman
The monkey died next day. The
ugly man is indicted, but we know
not whether for murder of the mon
key, malicious mischief, riot or az
sault and battery. The trial will no
doubt be interesting and spicy.

On Friday last Mrs. Fossett, of
Gwinnett county, committed suicide
by hanging herself at her home near
LogansviIle. 1t seems, according to
the Gwinnett Herald, that during the
moring she stated to her daughter
that she was going out to attend to
some domestic affairs about the yard
and directed her at the proper time
to get dinner. The daughter sus
pected nothing, and after some time
went to the smoke house to prepare
for dinner. Upon opening the door
she discovered her mothers dead
body hanging to ajoist. The unfor'
tunate lady was suffering, it is
thought, from arrangement of the
mind.

AcWoRTH AFFAIRS.

A certain French gentleman from the
country drove his Two forty" into town Sab
bath evening 10 take young lady TO ride, bar
ON his arrival very much to his surprise, found
The Young lady's sure enough fellow on hand.
Being somewhat discomfitted aud confused,
acted upon the old adage, Short visits make
long friends" and left soon. but made slight
mistake ON leaving and took the other gentle
mans new seven dollar hat with him, and left
one not SO good in its place. Rud says it Is
very strange that gentleman from a distance
cannot come To Acworth counting without get
ting his Sunday coat muddy or loose new
hat. What is hat compared to elk hours
stay with an interesting young lady.
Mai Jones said "a great many young men
wanted TO commence the world mp stairs in
life" and it is currently reported that one OF
our young men is that way disposed and is dc
lighted with the idea OF doing SO soon.
Two Acworth ladies went to Cartersville
last week to beg for funds Tor their church
They met some encouragement from the good
people of Cartersvils, especially ~ from Col.
r. II. Jones and his excellent family. Col
Jones has big soul, good wife and two beau
tiful and accomplished daughters.
There is general enquiry being made as
to the meaning of the new parlor set just re
ceived by one of Acworths prominent widow
ers LEO.

y conversation, overheard certain moon

by Yours truly, }. Horner'
MARY-You ask me for the costlicst thing,
That woman ever gave 20 man,
Her love--which will true happiness bring,
And is richer by far than gold and land.
And now before we close the trade, y
That makes me yours for life,
Tell me what provisions you have made
To support your little wife,
WrLLrE-Well, Mary. | am glad that you
Have a practical turn of mind
While have vowed TO love You true
I've thought of this, aye many time,
For we'll know we cannot live
On chilling and "cooing" alone,
And neither alone viii love always give
True happiness-and this freely own
| have called at all the stores in town,
| have examined their stock all through,
And now | am satisfied have found
The store, for and you,
Pitner Il Son s is the store for us,
For theirs is the cheapest in our town,
And every one knows they We're the first
To bring high prices down
So, my darling, I've counted the cost
And weighed my chances of success
And few are the moments have lost
In building for you 'cozy nest. y
MARY-Well, Willie I'm satisfied and you
may
Seal the bargain with kiss,
For well know, twill be a happy day,
When | shall cease to be Miss.
At this juncture | heard a sound that
sound was not altogether like a fire cracker,
but it was between that and the sound usu,
ally made by a COW pulling her foot out of
the mire. At any rate | had business else.
where--and that was no business of mine,
but could not help admiring the tandor of
the young lady and applauding the good
sense of her affinity in proposing to buy
his goods at Pitner e Son $; for all know
that they are the pioneers in low prices, the
simon pure short profit" merchants, and
richly deserve all the liberal patronage they
are daily receiving at the old stanG Of l.. 5.

Connecticut had narrow escape
from a Pocasset tragedy the other
day. One Hiram Reynolds, living
in suburb of Bridgeport, got the
notion into his crazy head that he
mus. sacrifice one Of his children,
and he started for the school house,
knife in hand, to obey what he sup
posed to be the Divine will. Lucki-
iy the neighbors stopped him ON the
way, and he is now safely lodged in
the State asylum for the insane.

General Grant. Next Trip.
HIS PASSAGE ENGAGED FOR VOYAGE TO GU
AND MEXICO IN DECEMBER.

HIS PASSAGE ENGAGED FOR VOYAGE TO CUBA
AND MEXICO IN DECEMBER.
1t was announced yesterday that passage had
been secured for General Grant in the steamer
City of Alexandria, to sail for the West Indies
and Mexico. The steamer is advertised TO sail
from New York on the 9th of December. Mr..
John Alexander, one of the owners OF the YES
sci, said last evening that the report that Gene
raj Grant was soon to start from this city for
Cuba and Mexico was founded on the fact that
his passage had been engaged for those places
by DreXel Morgan Il Co., the bankers. The lat
ter sent to the office OF the Mexican and Havana
steamship line on Thursday, and asked that
stateroomS might be reserved for General Grant
in the steamer City of Alexandria. The compa-
ny marked on the passenger list the two bridal
chambers for the use OF Grant. The City OF
Alexandria is an almost entirely new vessel,
having only made three trips The bridal cham
bers in her are described as furnished In the
most SunptuouS style, with satin and silk hang
ings The accommodations are all OF a superior
order. The steamer is to sail on Saturday, De-
cember 81, for Havana and Vera Cruz. calling
also at ProgreSO and Fontera, in Mexico. Mr..
Alexander thinks that Mexico is to be General
Grants destination. He saw that country during
the Mexican war, and has frequently eXpresse
himself TO his friends as del GIFTED with the
climate he found tlere,-fN Y S'Ql. tO-dIL
