Now there is chance for our girls
to make some money. Let them try
small Patch, say one fourth of an
acre. Plant out III August and have
good crop of fruit next spring. 1t
can be done. heard Nashville
man say that two years ago there
vas no such business around Nash
vile as growing berries for northern
markets but now there was $50 bush
els Slipped day from one town, the
town of Franklin, and they melted
~ cents a quart or six dollars per
hashel and the girls did most of the
work | wish the dear creatures
were all rich enough to hive without
work and only had b work when
they felt ike it, and / never see la
dies OF culture and refinement doing
drndgery but what it shocks my hu-
mani'y and want a society estab-
lished for the prevention Of cruelty
to angels. Bat work is the common
lot tor man and for woman too and /
reckon theT are happier tor it.
was Illuminating over these things
to-day when I met Sanford Bell on
the train. Sanford, the old reliable
conductor. whom everybody knows
aud everybody loves, and we got to
talking about the times and the
crops and when | mentioned John
II. james aud his bust up Sanford
said yes that is mighty bal on James
and bad on the poor fellows who had
their money in his bank. He had a
thousand dollars there he said, a
thousand dollars the savings Of ten
years atd now he had to take new
start aud his plans and hopes were
broken up for he was going to take
$500 of that money and send
Clifford to Moore'S business college
and the $500 was for his daughter
who had been so good and so kind
10 him and her mother and worked
so willingly end faithfully at home,
aud he had picked out a nice little
place to buy for her and let her en-
Joy the rents but the money was
gone and the prospect was bad,
very bad.
After telling me of the dark side
he Enlightened up and said, well l
won: give up too soon for Mr. james
failed in 1873 and he owed me $500
then and he paid it in full with i'll
'eiest and allowed me a premium of
IL per cent for my gold, jist what
1t was worth when l put my gold in
there, although it was worth uuly 4
per cent. premium when he paid it
back. He is good man, James is,
aud will 10 the best he can and he
can't do any more. Some folks
abuse bin for specializing on our
mont y but noti-e they never abuse
a man until he has bad luck ana
breaks. james speculated III Geor-
gia railroal stock two years ago
and made, they say, u hunrel thou
sand dollars and everybody smiled
and said James is long headed
man, nobody said a word against
him, but now they abuse him for
being a SPECTATOR
About this time we met the down
train and the engineer, Mr.. A ans
came up to Sanford and sal /, "whats
the news my friend, will we ever get
anything p
And Sanford cheered him up
little and then told me tina, Adams
had 81, 500 in there and it was his
hard earnings in cold and heat and
winter and summer and day and
night while he stood at his post of
duty, which is the post of danger
Well, all this is bad, very bad and
there are many worse cases. San
ford told me about them and said be
was sorrier Cor some others than he
was for himself
"But then,' he said, "Mr. James
is young enough and smart enough
to rise again and believe he will do
it and I'm not going to say word to
hurt his feelings or harrass him, for
he has load enough to carry now and
my wife says will get that money
some day, she has faith and she
cheers me up when am down and
that is what a good wife always does.
She believes that money earned hon.
estIy is not going to be lost"
'What have YOU done about your
claim" said l.
"Nothing, there is nothing to do
that l know of. I gave the certif-
cate TO Mr. James and said have
heard about yonr troubles aud
thought l would bring you this and
! let YOU manage it for YOU know bel.
