Death of an Old Negress.

A correspondent from WOODBURY.
writes us of the death of old Aunt Sarah
Mallory, which took place last Monday,
the Goth, who is represented as the
oldest person in the county, or in the
State, at the time Of her death. Her
age is placed at about 1873 years. She
was brought from Virginia oy Shradach
Waugh in 1900, and was then in her
forty-ninth year, and has lived in the
neighborhood of Woodburn ever since,
She made the trip from this county to
Virginia, and return, three different
times on foot The last trip was made after
she was 100 years old. She was never
sick in her life, and even her death was
not preceded by any sickness; she
seemed merely to fall asleep, and died
without struggle. Our correspondent
is reliable gentleman of WOODBURY.

HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

Before filling up vacant places in
the orchard with young trees, it is best
to think whether the full-grown trees
now standing will not, with good man.
uring, bring more fruit than larger
number would Most of our orchards
were planted too closely, and the tree
roots interlace SO as to rob each other
of what fertility each should have.
Although butter alone is nearly in
digestible, yet the relish that good but
ter imparts to bread makes it more
healthful than the bread alone would be.
The human stomach will digest almost
ANYTHING that is eaten with relish,
though scarcely anything that is not.
This is a point which the directors
against the use of butter should care
fully note.
Mr.. T. Greiner, in the Farm and
Garden, says that the easiest and quick
est way to destroy the weeds that gen
orally start about the time when the
potatoes are up SO that the rows can be
seen plainly is by a thorough use OF
harrow or drag. He places great en-
phasis upon this, and deems it far more
effective than the cultivator and hoe, at
less expense.
The pudding which should invariably
accompany boiled dinner to the table
is made in this way: One pint of
sweet or sour milk, two teacups OF corn
meal, sifted; one teaspoonful Of soda,
dissolved in hot water; add two slices of
stale cake, crumbled very fine and
mixed with the meal; boil for three
hours in bag; serve with common
sour pudding sauce.
Western corn-growers persist in
planting corn after corn. The result is
that they have bred worm which eats
the roots, and which lives in the ground
from year to year. AS it is not migra-
tory, its existence depends on having
corn planted on the same field in sue
cession. Good husbandry, which de-
mands rotation of crops, will therefore
rid farmers of this pest.
C. H. johnson tells the Fruit GrOWer
that by going carefully over the ground
several times each season and burning
all plants showing raspberry rust he has
succeeded to such an extent that no
more than half dozen eases of the dis
ease appeared last year in the whole of
his three acres devoted to this fruit,
while another, at some distance, ''lost
almost his entire stock without knowing
the cause
The practice of some of the best
farmers now is to keep pigs through the
summer on green food. cut and carried
to the pens, with little grain, and
what milk can be spared after butter
making. Spring pigs are thus made to
weigh two hundred pounds at seven
months old, and, except in the last
month, they get little grain. The best
time to sell such pigs is at the begin
ming of cold weather, usually in October.

The Gnrernorship.

We have endeavored to assure our Re
publican contemporaries at the NOrth'
that appear to be greatly exercised over
the prospect of discord in the ranks OF
the Georgia Democracy, that there is no
likelihood of the harmony OF the party
being disturbed.
The present campaign, if campaign it
can be called, is, perhaps, the most quiet
in the political annals Of the State. The
people are aware of the fact that the
commonwealth is perfectly secure. The
wise policy that has built up its pros
perity cannot be undOne, whoever occu-
pies the Executive chair. They are more
concerned just now about their-brriyate in
terests than politics.
While the GoverpSrship of Georgia IS a
prize worthy 81 the ambition of any of
her sons. there are but two Of those who
seek that appear likely to command
any great measure of support.
1t would afford the people Of South Geor-
gia profound satisfaction if the nominee
of the convention were selected from
among the many capable gentlemen this
section could present. Hon. Rufus T..
Lester, among others, would be particu-
IarIy acceptable to our many readers, but
he has, to the regret Of his many admirers,
declined to enter the race.
Gov. BOyntOn has thus far filled the
office to which he has been called with
dignity and ability. There is a wide
spread sentiment in favor of his being
continued for the full term of his great
predecessor. He is well qualified for the
position, and. if assigned to it, will give
the people a satisfactory administration.
We cannot see that the people can do
better than to permit the Acting Cover
nor to become the actual Executive.
Public opinion is daily strengthening in
favor of such a course, and the probabili-
ties are that Governor BOynton will be the
choice Of the convention. The people DC
not desire a heated contest. Such a strug-
gle is not likely to result; but the readiest
way of avoiding such is to unite upon
Governor BOyntOn.

The whipping post is coming back
into vogue. Illinois has just followed Ma
ryland and Delaware in its adoption, and
although Mr.. Henry Bergh, the apostle of
protection to animals, was denounced in
many quarters for advising its general
adoption a few years ago, he is likely to
see his views prevailing in a majority of
the States. While in the East, he noticed
that the bastinado never had to be applied
twice to the same individuals; that it was
feared infinitely more than long imprisOn-
ment; and the honest, well behaved peo-
pie did not have to pay heavy taxes to
support the idle prison life of thieves and
vagabOnds.

1t has come to pass in the latter days
that The man who is honest and conscien-

his duty is a genius and a hero, deserv-
ing the highest honors of the common
wealth. In other days the best of men
were exhOrted to count themselves sun
profitable servants, because, after doing
all in their power they had but dis
charged their duty" In those days vir-
tue was accounted its own reward, but
now virtue has to be rewarded with
big office or some other place Of tempta-
ton for its corruption. In short, modern
virtue has to be paid for, and if its owner
does not ask it, some fool will demand it
for him.
