THE LASS OF B0NNY-LoNG.
ny JOHN ST. c. BRooKEs.

Spirits Autt'ring wings are round me,
Waiting for my dreamy song,
For the chains of love that bound me
To the lass of BOnny-Long.
On the moonlights tread hear you,
Through the rustling leaves appear you,
From me stealing
Cherished feeling
For the lass Of Bonny.Long.
Can tell you, Angels, tell you,
Winglets from the distant shore,
or my love for her where dwell you,
Maiden, lost to me of yore?
Lost within the night, which reft me
OF my beauty, and which left Inc
In derision
But vision
OF the lass dotted Ger.
Tell her tho she's gone before me,
And my soul delays its flight,
Yet the dark shades gather DER me
And her image is my light;
Tell her for me, blessed chorus,
That there lies time before us
When we never
More shall sever,
When her clasp shall break my night!
Bear to her my plaintive sorrow
On the mornings blushiug ray,
On the bright eternal morrow
Watt my dreamy song away;
Tell her that the dread hereafter
Thrills my brain with joyous laughter
That Pm lonely,
Waiting only
For Eternity's great Day
Now the quiveling night tide takes you
Messengers of right or wrong,
And my llst'ning fancy wakes you
With my gloomy, dreamy song.
Garry grefs with which Pm laden
To this fond celestial maiden,
And their story
Tell in glory
To the lass of Bonny-Long.

In favor of farming it may be truly
said that more persons, who begin by
working on the farm, rise in compe-

other pursuit. Farm wages may be
low, but they usually include board,

A Tough Story.
Louisville Courier-Journal1

Louisville Courier-J
A very tough story, in which a
chicken. a rat, a cat, dog and alloy
figured, was going the rounds in East
Fad yesterday. The story is vouch-
ed for by good authority, and on this
account is all the more remarkable
1t is related that Mr.. McCurdy was
sitting meath the shade of a tree in
the back yard of his resident on Clay
near Franklin street, talking to so:he
friends, when his attention was call
ed to a hen with brood of younS
chickens and large rat that had,
just emerged from its hole and was,
quitely regarding the young chickens
with the prospects of meal in view.
As the rat came from his hole the
house cat awoke from her afternoon
nap and caught sight of the rat
Crouching low, she awaited develop
ments, and stood prepared to spring
upon his ratship. At the appearance
of his ancient enemy, the cat,
Scotch terrier, which had been sun
ming itself in the wood shed, pricked
up his ears, quitely made for the
place where the cat stood At this
moment boy, named Andy Quad.
came upon the scene. The chickens
were not cognIzant of being watched
by the rat, nor did the rat see the cat,
nor the feline the dog who had not
noticed the coming of the boy. A
little chick wandered too nigh, and
he was seized by the rat, which was
in turn pounced upon by the cat,
and the cat was caught in the mouth
OF the dog. The rat would not cease
his hold on the chicken, and the cat,
in spite of the shaking she was get
ting from the dog, did not let go, the
rat. 1t was fun tor the boy, and in
high glee he watched the contest
and the struggle of ecah of the vic
tins. 1t seemed to him that the rat
was about to escape after time. and,
Selling a stone, he hurled it at the
rodent. The aim was not good, and
the stone struck the dog right be.
tween the eyes. The terrier released
his grip Oh the cat and fell over dead.
It had breathed it's last before the
cat in turn let go the rat and turned
over and died. The rat did not long
survive the enemy, and by the side Of
the already dead chicken he laid HIM
self down and gave mp the ghost. The
owner of the dog was so angry at his
death that he is said to have come
near making the story complete by
killing the boy that killed the dog
that shook the cat that caught the
rat that bit the chicken on Clay
street.

Il Story of The War.

Gath, in New York Tribune.
The ex-Confederate Gen Gordon
told me an interesting story about
two interviews he held with General
Barlow. At Sharpsblng Barlow was
apparently MORALLY wounded and
fell into Gordon's hands. Gordon
took a liking to him and asked if he
could do something for Barlow.

But you can do one thing for me.
Here is package of letters from my
wife, which. I wish you to destroy

G ordon, who was then a Young man
also, took the letters and was about
to destroy them, when Barlow, with
a bubble at his throat, murmu1ed,
'Would you take the trouble to read
one of them first :? Any one will do. :"
Gordon opened one of the letters and
read it to the dying man-his last
friendly words, perhaps, from home.
Then the letters were destoyed.~
But incident touched Gordon so that
he made special exertion to have
Barlow sent through the lines or

being done the two armies fell apart

more. Gordon considered Barlow
to be dead. Barlow had also seen
that General Gordon had been kill
ed somewhere. They met again at a
friendly table in Washington, but did
not know each other, though the
changes of time.
After some lapse Gordon said:
General Barlow, are you relative
of that Barlow who was killed at
Antietam ?" No, sseid the general,

mother tore down stairs expectingto
find the mingled remains of her boy
on the pavement below; but upon
reaching the ground she was attract

her child suspended in the air by his
nightgown, which had fortunately
caught on a nail projecting from the
window sill. The mother shrieked
and started up stairs, fearing the boy
would fall before she could reach
him. The cloth was strong, however,
and the boy was rescued from his
perilous position uninjured. After

justice RIanfOrd.

lion Mark ID. BlanfOrd was elect
ed on last Friday by the Legislature
to fill the place of Justice OF the ST.
preme Court, lately made vacant by
the death of Judge NJ. J. Crawford,
His election occurred on the 9th ballot.
The following is from the Macon
Telegrsph and Messenger:
A Sketch of Judge Blanford.
He was born in Warren county,
Georgia, July 10, 1896, and is there
fore 81 years of age. His full name
is Mark Hardin Blandford. In the
year following his birth his father,
Hon. Clark Blandford, moved to
Harris county. Before the death of
his father, which occurred in 1888.
the family moved 10 Jones county.
where Mark Blandford was raised
and acquired common school educa-
ton. In 184l he entered Mercer
University. Finishing the regular
course there he read law under Hon.
Robert Y. Hardeman, af Jones
county, and was admitted to the bar
at the October term, 1914, OF Jones
Superior Court. In 1916 he enlisted
as private in the Mexican war in
Captain J. S. Calhoon's company in
the First Georgia regiment of Volun-
.teers, commanded by Col. H. R.
Jackson. At the close of the Mexi-
can war, in which he made gallant
record, he settled in Marion county
and practiced law till 1889, except
during the period covered by the civil
war. AT the beginning Of the war
between the States he went out as
captain of Company K. Twelfth
Georgia Regiment, entering service
in the Virginia army in June, 1861.
He was wounded at the battle of Nc

and has never asked for office. He
is purely lawyer and leads the bar
of the Chattahooshee circuit. He is
ooe of the ablest lawyers in the State,
is popular with all classes, and comes
up from the people. He will make

to be the opinion without dissent,
that ne will ill with honor and ability

We commend to the Legislature the follow

swear the truth and make honest returns a
different system or assessment ought to
be devised, in order to equalize the bnr
dens of taxation. For man to be repor-
ted by Bradstreet at $50, 900 and figure in
the tax digest at $4,000 is a crying infa-
nous shame. The poorest people paw fhe

RANCH AND RICHES.

The desire for wealth pervades all classes
In its incipient development there is seldom
more than an ordinary ambition to get on
in the world" to have the conveniences and
comforts of life, to be beyond the grasp Of
PERJURY, and to rank with those who are
known as simply independent" But, as
accumulations increase, an all-abscibing
yearning sets in to be possessed of large es-
tates, to be known as capitalist, as million
aire. 1t is by no means prudent to stigma
tie such aspirations, or to charge them to
motives born of meanness. There is such a
thing as righteousness in riches. Rich men
can and do get into the Kingdom OF Heaven.
There is no just argument to be used against
an honest and honorable accumulation of
wealth, and only small men envy rich men
their possessions. Men of wealth are Sc
verely criticised on account of their posses
sions, when il is known or believed that they
have grown rich by means which are incon-
sistent with things of good report. 1t wo1ld
be easy enough ia this connection to particu-
larize we're it required But such is not the
purpose Of this writing. Nor are We dis
posed to homiIize in regard 10 the thousand
temptations which lure men. anxious 70 be
