The Goober.

Many suppose that the "goober'
and what is usually denominated
the ''grouud pea" are both one
and the same thing. This is not
true; they are entirely diFeren t,
the former being known as the
Spanish peanut. Mr.. Joe Jay, of
this county, has patch of COOLERS
and as cheap and luxuriant food
for hogs he thinks very highly Of
them. The goober, of late years,
has become very popular in some
sections Of the State aad from
what is said of it, it is destined to
become very popular. A gentle
man by the name of Smoak, in
Houston county, recently refused
$1,000 for patch of 25 acres. It
is a crop Of wonderful value and
We hope that the farmers of Ter
rell will make it point to consult
Mr.. Jay in person as to It's merits
One thing sure, the farmers must
resort to the cultivation and pro-
duction of something else besides
so much cotton.
The Dawson journal., 1884-10-02

As an evidence that Dawson is
paying more for cotton than Amer
icus.we submit the following proof:
One day last week Mr.. Coot
Dixon and Mr.. J. B. Nicholson,
who are close neighbors, living in
Webster coanty, started out, both
tle same day, with exactly the
SAM grade of cotton, one for
Americus ald the other for Daw-
son. Mr.. Nicholson, who brought
his cotton to Dawson, got % cents;
Mr.. Dixon, who carried his cotton
tosAmericus, gotonly 8 cents. We
have the proof Of this in writing
now on file in this office.

A Serious Runaway.

Messrs, A. W. Fleming and Tom
Berry were return home from
Dawson on We lnesday of last
week when their mule took fright,
running away, throwing them both
out Of the buggy and bruising
them up very badly. Mr.. FEM
ing was hurt worse Of the two, be-
ing dragged some distance before
he gave up his hold upon the mule.
We saw Mr.. Fleming a day or two
after the occurrence and his face
was almost one solid scab all over,
besides a severe confusion on the
back part cf his head. He also
received several other severe cuts
and bruises upon different parts OF
his body.

Sad Death,

Mrs. Sophia, wife of Mr.. James
A. Lasseter, of this county, died
on Wednesday of last week after a
long and lingering illness. She
was perfectly resigned to death,
we learn, and passed away very
quietly with but little conscious
pain. She had been a member of
the Primitive Baptist church for
many years, and was a consistel. t
Christian lady. At the time of
her death she was IS years Of age.
Deceased was buried on the day
following her death at the Chicka-
sawhatchee Baptist church, near
town.

National Bank in Dawson.

We are glad to state that there
is now ON foot an enterprise to es-
tablish in Dawson a first class
National Bank. There is great
need for a bank Of this sort in our
town and we believe it would do
more to develop and build up the
town and county than even rail
road. It is a little singular that
a town doing the business that
Dawson does has never had le-
ultimately chartered bank long
before this. 1t is one.of the greatest
needs of the town and we believe
that such a bank would prove a
most profitable investment to the
stockholders.

Ten years ago, Mr.. Frank Har-
rell was running a one-horse farm
and S400 in debt. To-day he is
one of the biggest land owners in
the county and is worth $4,000
above all Indebtedness. The secret
of Mr.. Harrell's success is found
in the fact that he looks closely
after his business and never buys
anything out of a store that can
be raised on his farm. We wish
that every man in Terrell would
learn to do as Mr.. Harrell has
done.

A Favorable View.

There is one advantage in favor
OF the farmers Notwithstanding the
short crop and low prices Of cotton,
and that is the very propitious
weather for gathering the cotton
crop. The fine grades of middling
cotton coming into market will 90
a very long ways towards compen-
satlng for the short crop. Let us
suppose that had the crop been
fair one, the farmer would have
gotten more bales, bat at the same
time suppose the weather had
been rainy and stormy through
out the month of September as is
SO often the case. Can't you see
the price would have been reduc-
ell in corresponding ratio?
Hence the conclusion is that the
farmer will be compensated in o
very large measure by the beauti-
ful cotton that he has been enabled
to gather during this pretty wealth
Q and bring to market. Let the
farmers then be cheerful and put
the very best construction upon
the situation possible.

The Thousand Caves


In ravine between the Desert of Cobb
and the mountain range OF the Nam
Schan, China, are situated numerous
caves eXcavated by the hand Of man from
the precipitOus face of the rock. Two
irregular rows of these caves extend one
above the other for about two-thirds of q
mile, and at the southern end a third row
comes in, so that if there are not thou
sand, there are at any rate some hundreds
of caves of various sizes. The upper row
is reached from the lower by steps. These
caves are much yenerated by the Bud
dhists, and monk who lives in a temple
at their southern extremity states that
they date from the Han dynasty. Few of
them remain uniniUged, but enough
remains to show that walls and ceilings
were once covered with plaster and
adorned with mosaics and figures. Some
of the larger images are still in existence.
The smaller caves vary from twenty-eight
to thirty-tive feet in length, and from
twenty-one to tweRty-eight in width, and
are about twenty-eight feet high. The
larger caves have twice these dimensions,
and the figures in them are twice the size
of life. In the centre of these stands a
colossal figure upon a pedestal, sur
rounded by smaller figures. One of these
idols, called Da-fu-jan, has feet twenty
one feet long; the great-tOes are forty-two
feet apart, and the entire figure must be
eighty-fve or ninety feet high, and be-
tween forty and fifty broad. Dsho-fu- jan
is about half these dimensions. Two of
the caves contain idols IN a recumbent
position, and one OF these, called Schi-fu-
jan, is surmounted by his seventy-two
children. The hands are claspeG over the
breast; the head, hands and bare feet are
gilded, and the garments are striped with
red. The outside coating of these figures
Is plaster of clay and chopped reeds. AT
the entrances, and sometimes in the
interior Of the larger caves, are repre-
sensations of heroes, often with grotesque
or animal faces, and with swords, snakes,
ETC., in their hands. One of these heroes
is mounted on an elephant.

DR.. Gross's Advice To Patient

WASHINGTON Letter to the PAizadelphta Record.
| heard story about the late Prof.
Gross which everybody who knew him
will recognize as characteristic. 1t was
while he was practicing in Kentucky,
where he is remembered as a fine surgeon
and physician and splendid man before
he received the fattering proposals that
drew him to Philadelphia. A prominent
jurlst, the father of the man who told me
the story, had an ear trouble which
threatened to destroy his hearing. He
had consulted one distinguished physician
after another. Every one had pretended
to be able to cure him, and had 1sdoc-
tored' him until he grew weary. He had
spent a small fortune in fees. At length
a friend sent him to DIR. Gross. He stated
his case. The doctor made an examina-
ton. "Can you do anything for me?'
asked the Judge. eyes," said the doctor,
''on one condition" ssWhat is it ?'' asked
the Judge. ''That you obey my instruc-
tions implicitly" replied the doctor. 81
WILL y said the Judge, anticipating some
terrible physical ordeal. "Well,o said
the doctor, 81 cannot cure you; no one
can do that. But if you obey me you will
never be any worse than you are to-day.
If you do not you may be stone deaf to the
end OF your days." Il will obey you to
the letter. said the Judge. "Well," said
the doctor, ego home, take good care of
your ears, but put nothing in them and
allow no one to examine them or pres
cribe for them. Keep away from physi-
cIans. If you feel yourself at any time,
despite my prediction that you will be
all right, becoming worse, then come to
me, but never go to anybody else." II
never will, >" said the Judge. ''Now doctor,
what's your fee?'' ''NothIng at all, my
dear sir" said the doctor; 81 am very
glad to have been able to advise YOU"
The Judge insisted that he should take a
fee, but DR.. Gross resolutely declined.
The Judge lived for many years after
that and never grew any worse, and never
had occasion to see either DR.. Gross or
any one else on the ear account again.
But he never grew weary of telling this
story
