THE MAGIC FLOWER.

! know a legend: Once wonderer stood
Where mystic bell-tone filed the forest air
He found a magic flower deep in the wood,
Aud plucked il dreamily, for it was talri
Then home returned in melancholy MOOD,
Astonished thronged the people round him
there.
The world hundred years had older grown,
And in the crowd no soul to him was known.
Thou art my wOndrous flower Of mystery,
And captive 10 thy dreamy spell am l.
Nv old companions now are strange 80 me-
4 hundred years seem to have passed me
by.
All unfamiliar are the scenes ! see,
The -ad world with the weight Of age doth
sigh.
With bl0ssoming wreath Of happiness | stand
The only youth in ali the m0urutul land
Here, Love, with thee do / return to dwell
a joyous settler in the forest ground
Forgotten would ] be. Lies sparkling well
Sends healing waters forth for every wound,
Thine eyes with radiance soft all clouds dis
pei.
In happy thra dom by thy kisses bound,
4 thousand years may swiftly pass away
Back no the world again / ne.er viii stray.

WHAT We would enjoin upon the farmer
is to plant few trees every year. Fill up
all the vacancies in the woodlands and re-
stock land that has been shorn of its trees
and is worthless for other purposes See
that the highways through your premises
are bordered with trees and that a screen of
evergreens protects your orchards and fruit
gardens. In planting ornamental trees it
should be remembered that fruit trees are
not only ornamental but useful. The season
for spring tree planting is nearly over for
this year, except in the case of eVergreens
these can be planted through June and even
into July. The roots of trees should not be
allowed to become dry during the process of
transplanting, nor should they be cramped
nor mutilated when it can be avoided.

Over Four Bales to the Acre.

To the Editor of Cotton
Your Aberdeen (AIiss) correspondent
who describes at length the process by
which planter or Unat town obtained two
bales to the acre, has probably never heard
of the achievement of Mr. T. {. Warbler,
OF Washington County, Ga, in 1878. He
obtained | believe, the heaviest yield of
cotton CA record He was competing for a
premium offered by the Georgia State Ag-
ricultural Society, and gathered from an
acre 6,s91 pounds of seed cotton, yielding
2.096 pounds lint, or a little over four bales
of 500 pounds each. The rows were checked
off three feet each way, and one stalk was
left in each hill. This distance gave him
1900 stalks to the acre, and, allowing 100
bolls to the pound, he must have had 40
bolls to the stalk in order to produce 6,S9l
pounds of seed cotton. Mr.. David Dick
son of Hancock county, Ga, reported in
1867 a I6-acre field which averaged 200
pounds of seed cotton per acre. He estima-
ted that portion of his l6-acre yielded at
the rate of 5000 pounds to the acre.

What an English Immigrant to Kinds
County Says About Stock Raising.

Raymond Gazette.l
We had very pleasant interview few
DAYS since with Mr.. Nicholson, an English
gentleman, who now owns and resides on
the place near Dry Grove, this county, for
merly owned by DR.. H. Cam. Smith. Mr..
Nicholson is a man after our own heart.
He is confident that as fine stock can be
raised on his place as in Kentucky, and
quite as proftably; and we should not be
surprised if within two or three years, he
has the old ''Cam Smith place" transformed
into a regular and most successful stock
farm. And this but vindicates a predic-
tion that we have frequently made, that if
our own people viii not make this country
independent and prosperous, new people
will come in and do it for us and reap the
fruits.

A Good Piano.

Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper saws:
A good piano at fair price is one of the
wants of times. An instrument that is dur
a BILE, that is substantially made, and has at
those qualities Of tone which make a first
class piano, can be had from the Mendels-
sohn Piano Co, New York, from $3.50 to
$500. For thirty-eight years their has been
producing pianos, and adopting every new
invention which has proved itself to be val
liable. They can be compared by an ex-
pert with the instruments of the highest
name and fancy price, and the result is sur
prisingly satisfactory. The piano is war
ranted for FIVE years, and no purchaser has
ever made a complaint. From personal
knowledge and critical examination we can
recommed any one to send for a catalogue
to the above mentioned manufacturers.

The Debt Of the Bolivar n. E. Church.

We would ask the people, especially of
Bolivar and vicinity, for a Kind interest
and cooperation with US in trying to relieve
our church of debt Many have already
declared disposition to help if they knew
the debt would be met The church has had
a sad experience, and errors committed, it is
true. Several of its best supporters failed
in business at the most inopportune time for
the church. 1t was impossible to avoid mis-
takes. But "Let the dead bury the dead !"
let us look to the present and future. The
pIeseRt debt is 81 1880 principal and in
terest. All the notes, but two small ones,
are drawing 10 per cent Some of the
creditors have agreed to reduce their claims,
some on condition we pay them within go
days from April is so that, if we paw them
a sum total S165O.eO by June Is the church
will be saved. The subscribers promised to
pay certain amounts on condition asubscrip-
ton should be gotten to cover the debt.
Whether these are all responsible for their
subscriptions cannot tell Then, we have
u note on Mr.. Statler for $500.
Our Ladies Aid Society is working with
energy and meeting with good success in
selling their work, and we hope they will
meet with liberal patronage They propose TO
give supper one night next week, Wednes-
day night, and we hope everybody will
patronize them. Then on Friday night,
May Z, a concert viii be given. This will he
conducted by Mrs. A. T. McNeal, Mrs. Ken
dali and Mrs. Statler. They propose get
ting others to help them, some from Bolivar
and some from Jackson. Giving the above
names commends the concert for everybody
to attend.
Several District Conferences will be held
in May, and we expect to get help from
them. Then, we expect on June Is to Dor
row enough to pay the remainder of the
debt. At the Annual Conference next No
vember We expect to ask the Conference to
appropriate three or four hundred dollars to
help It's, and the church can finish paying
out next year.
do not think the people need hesitate to
pay over their money, thinking it will do no
good. We will retain all the money re-
cieved till June Is, at which time we will
pay the amount of subscribed money in
hand to the creditors, if we are satisfied the
remainder of the debt can and will be met
if not we will refund you your money. DIR.

POcahOntas Notes.

This town is rapidly recovering from the
effects of the tornado. The merchants had
a fine trade season last Fall and report that
the farmers in this section are in good
financial condition. The Leath School Is
growing in favor. The lumber interests
are bringing much money into this section.
In this issue are seen a number of business
cards of the merchants and professional men
of the place. They are resolved to show
that they can command trade and sell goods
as low as can be had anywhere. They have
capital and enterprise and will spare no
effort to control the trade of this section.
