Mr.. w. T. Scott went to Springfield
some days ago to secure position in the
legislature, not for himself, but for friend
OF his, Mr.. Richard Taylor. Mr., SCOTS
show of influence over "the elements" dur
ing the late campaign made him "some
punkins" in the eyes of Republican repre-
sentatiyes at Springfield, and they hearken-
ed gracously to his requests and granted
them. Tbereupon Mr.. Scott feels called
upon to express his thanks to the solons
and yesterdays Gazette proceeds hand
somely to do so for him in this wise "W.
I. Scott returned home from Springfield on
the 9th inst, where he went to be present
and in the interest of Mr.. Richard Taylor
of this city for position in the senate. He
was successful in securing the position Of
policeman of the same. Mr. Scott wishes
to return his sincere thanks to the senators,
and particularly to senator Thorn, Tanner

the state board Of Health has exerted an
inhuence which has been felt throughout
the country IN various ways, in the eleva.
ton OF the standard of medical education,
the suppression of fraudulent medical col
leges, and the introduction of improved
methods Of establishing and maintaining
an effective quarantine against infectious
diseases. Their services have done much
to add to the reputation Of our state at
home and abroad. The satisfactory opera
tons of this board no doubt stimulated
the movement which resulted in the crea-
ton by the last general assembly Of two
other supervising boards--the board of
pharmacy and the board of dental exam
liners. These are organized and at work,
are not an expense to the state, and, am
satisfied, are doing much good.

A young minister had gone to a
prosperous church, in a certain town,
to preach his first sermon. Before
leaving the house, the gentleman
who was entertaining him suggested
to him not to preach against Uni

several Universalist families who
have pews in our church, and we do
not want them offended" The

church vestibule, one of the deacons
drew him aside and said, "Do you

Plain Talk TO John.

Just such talk, too, as would
have saved some boys we used to
know from becoming sthe worth
less men they are, and some girls
from becoming unhappy wo men:
"If you prefer the keg of lager
or the bottle of wine to me-" said
Mary, '.just take the to the mag
istrate, and get married to them p
"What do you mean?" asked
John.
Just what I have said. 1 don't
want young man to come here
evenings chewing cloves to cover
his breath, and hide his habits of
drinking. If you like lager more
than you love me, just marry it
at once; love and liquor have no
affinity"
Why, Mary, how you talkr' ex

you sign the pledge and keep it,
you had better not call here again.
John did sign the pledge, ana
he kept it, he married Mary.

Growing Irish Potatoes,

Editor Southern Cultivator and
Dixie Farmer
/ notice one of your correspondents
wants an Irish potato that will
keep all winter. In Tennessee,
around Nashville, they plant crop
in August or last of July, using the
small potatoes of the first crop for
seed. They are dug and placed in
shady place on the ground to wilt.
Some sprinkle them with water and
cover with hay or grass till they
sprout, then plant. The ground is
well prepared and burrows opened
and so left till a rain vets the
ground, then they are dropped in
the furrow and covered with turn
pillow. Just before the potatoes
sprout the ground is narrowed or
drag drawn over the land. This
levels the ridges and kills the weeds.
After this work as judgment may
dictate-some hill up, while others
cultivate level. They will be ready
to dig in October or November, and
will keep all winter and make the
best seed for an early crop.
Raising Irish potatoes for the
northern market has paid this year
from $50 to 500 per acre. There
is no reason why every. farmer in
Georgia should not have plenty to
do his family all winter and make
his own seed, instead of sending
north tor them To make a good
crop it requires rich, new land, but
any land that is dry will make a
fair crop.
One great advantage of raising
potatoes for market is that they
come in early and give the farmer a
little money when he most needs it.
And even if the price should fall too
low for shipping, they can be fed to
pigs to good advantage, and then
they are home raised and not pur-
chased by hard work in the cotton
patch.
At one little town in Tennessee
this year the farmers shipped 80, 900
barrels of early potatoes, netting
them over $780, 900, and all this was
done on less than six miles square
of country, and then they had their
wheat, corn, clover, hay, hogs and
fat sheep besides. One flock of |
Southdown ewes that 1 saw netted
the owner Sc per head for lamb and |
wool. j. 81. MOORE.

Christ the Physician.

The Lord is so fond of healing
sin sick souls, that he had bat one
son, and he made physician of
him that he might come and heal
mankind of their deadly wound; and
he being made physician came
down among us, and sought out for
his patients, not the good and ex-
cellent, but the most guilty, for he
said: .The whole have no need of
a physician, but they that are sick;
l came not to call the righteous, but
sinners to repentance. ''-Spurgeon.

Stupid Boys.


There was a boy whose father
thought him stupid and used to ex-
press his contempt by saying, that
if it pleased God to take from him
any of his children he hoped it
might be Isaac. Yet when the Uni
versity of Cambridge sought for a
successor to the great Newton, stu
pid Isaac Barrow was the man they
selected.
A boy was one day brought to
Gen. Salem Towne, labeled as an
incorrigible Ounce. No master had
been able to make him learn. and if
Mr.. Towne couldn't, he should be
apprenticed to trade. Mr.. Towne
proceeded TO examine him. The
boy soon made a mistake and in
stantly lodged as if frightened.
''Why do you do thatT' asked the
master.
Because 1 was afraid you were
going to strike me-"
"Why should you think sop
Because / have always been
struck whenever made mistake. -
''You need never fear being struck
by me-" said Mr.. Towne. '.That is
not my way of treating boys who do
as well as they can" Under this
judicious encouragement the boy
showed so much intelligence that he
was sent to college. In after years
he became a lawyer, an editor, a
judge, a governor, United States
Senator and secretary of war and
state. That boy was William L.
Marcy, of New York.
There was a lad in Ireland who
was put to work in a linen factory;
and while he was at work there q
piece of cloth was wanted to be sent
out, which was short of the quantity
it ought to be; but the master
thought it might be made the length
by stretching. He thereupon un-
rolled the cloth, taking hold of one
end of it himself, and the boy at the
other. He then said, "Pull, Adam,
pullr'
Il cannot, sir"
"Why% said the master.
Because it is wrong, sir" said
Adam, and he refused to pull. Upon
( this the master said he would not
do for a linen manufacturer, and
sent him home. But the boy became
the learned and famous Dr.. Adam
Clark Christian Intelligencer.

He Knew all About Il.

Some time ago a gentleman was
going from Boston to Albany, and
on his journey got into conversation
with young man, divinity stu
dent, who was travelling the same
way. Something was said about
drinking, when the divinity student
said:
81 am only twenty-five years OF
age, but you can't tell me anything
about that. 1 know all there is to
know about drinking"
The gentleman showed interest
in the young mans experience, and
he continued:
"When l was eighteen l went TO
Boston to take charge of the books
in a mercantile house. In the
boarding house where l boarded
were four young men. We became
companions. They all drank, and
invited me to join them. 1 declined.

man, care in drunkards' graves, and

REPLY.-If the weather is favor
able, and the soil in good condition,
as good time as any in this latitude
to SOW clover seed is about the
middle of March. If timothy seed
is sown in the spring, the same
time is advised for sowing it. About
the same the first of September is
generally considered the best time
to SOW timothy seed. About the,
middle of April is a good time to
SOW German millet, and in reply
to an enquiry from another person,
we will say it is also about the best
time for seeding to alfalfa. -
