A Model Farm.

The Oglethorpe Echo has been
on picnic to the magnificent farm
of Hon. j. NJ. Smith. The sys-
tenn and order that prevails
around this mammoth plantation
is marked and proverbial. Moth
ing seems to be out of joint, and
everything moves as perfect ma
chine. Commencing after the
war without means, or wealthy as
sistance, Smith has accumulated
a fortune that is like the highest
monument to his brain, matchless
energy and administrative ability.
Around him he has about $4,000
acres of land-1,5 800 in cotton,
$500 in corn, and the rest of tilla-
bic land in other crops. He has
on his plantation over 200 mules
and horses, besides other stock.
There are about 1000 or more
men, women and children on the
place to feed, including the con-
yicts. The remarkable success of
this farm is due to fact that it is
made self-sustaining by raising
everything they eat at home,
Corn wheat, oats potatoes and
every other necessary upon the
farmis raised in abundance, even
to sugar cane.

Mrs. King Is the secretary. She
is now enlightening Montreal with
her views. We see it stated that
Mrs. King idea is to do away with
all superfuous garments which
impede the freedom of the lower
limbs, or, as Mrs. King calls them
plainly legs, and thus interfere
with the health and strength of
woman. Mrs. King worked for
sometime in unison with Lady
Haberton, who was one Of the first
to take up the subject of dress re-
form in England, but differences
of opinion arose, and the two Ia
dies thought it best to separate.
Mrs. King believes in calling a
spade spade, and insisted on
speaking of her trowsers, while
Lady Haderton preferred the less
startling appellation of divided
skirt"

A Cincinnati newspaper in con-
graduating the city over the re-
suits of the riot, says: "Our Jail
full OF condemned murderers do not
seem to meet with the sympathy
usually bestowed upon that class.
Where are the gushing girls with
their bouquets and jellies and
pound cakes for the poor, perse-
cuted buskers and wife murderers
and son-slayers who are about to
be cruelty hung?" No doubt the
gushing girls of the kind men
toned are still there, but they do
not wish to be submitted to public
Indignation or ridicule by openly
honlzing criminals as they once
did.

Atlanta Constitution

Atlanta Constitution
The columns OF the Georgia pa-
pers are still filed with the won
d,rful in l1com ents hell out by
the mon sy-lea liag corporations to
rope In unsuspecting farmers by
an iron-clad mortgage. Men who
do business on credit must fail.
and men who do business on mon
ey for which they have to pay
fourteen per cent interest, would
save them selves many heartache
If they would give up the fight. at
once and begin anew for them
selves. Let the Georgia farmer
begin as the immigrant in Nebras-
ka or Kansas did-at the very bot
tom-and working upward ten
years will find him on the road to
prosperity. Borrowing money
from anybody is a bad business,
but borrowing it from foreign cor
porations, who will enforce their
claims in federal courts is suicide.
The current issue of the Maysville
Georgian says the bess men of
Banks county have their farms
ornamented with mortgages. In
few months these same men will
be standing listlessly on the steps
of the United States courthouse in
Atlanta, cursing the day when
they were wheeled into borrowing
money at the expense Of their
homesteads. The press of the
state cannot engage in better busi-
ness than to warn the people Of
the wrath to come.
Gen. Toombs, in his views on
the situation, said a few days ago,
"Cleveland made a good mayor of
Buffalo, they say, and it takes
pretty good man to be mayor of
corrupt city. He's been governor
of New York and done well.
That's bad place. I believe I
had rather be governor of hill. 1t
takes a man three or four fines "a
smart to be governor of state
like New York as it does to be
governor of h-ll." He also said,
Don't attack Blaine because he is
a rogue; that is what the north
wants, and they will support him
the stronger if you do"
A man at Indianofa, Iowa, writes
to know what we mean in the de-
scription of the yacht Annie, of
a cabin for ladies' fourteen feet
long" He wants to know if they
grow that long in Wisconsin.
Why, of course not. It is the
cabin that is so confounded long.
Mr.. Anton Grandcolas, Belle
vile, Illinois, states that he was q
long time a sufferer with rheuma-
tism, which he cured by the
use of st. Jacobs Oil, the great
pain-reliever.
W. M. Cheshire, at W. H.
Brotherton's store, Atlanta, writes:

wonderful medicine for the cure
of blood diseases, and it will

Mr.. r. ?. Dodge, Yard Master
of Ga, r. r., Atlanta, writes:-
"For seven years my wife has
been a great sufferer from Catarrh
which resisted the treatment of

If Mother Hubbard dresses and

very essence Of ugli-
ness, then we stand ready
to acknowledge that we don't know
whatit takes to constitute ugliness.
They are simply horrible. Away
with all such fashions, if fashions,
they can be called. There is moth
ing more captivating that pretty
girl neatly dressed, but when she
dons a Mother Hubbard overall
they cannot properly be called
dresses-she spoils her beauty

Kisses in Literature.
Detroit Free Press.

Detroit Free Press.
Georgiana, Duchess of Devon
shire, gave Sleets, the butcher, a
kiss for his vote nearly century
since, and another beautiful wo-
man. Jane, Duchess of Gordon,
recruited her regiment in a siini-
lar manner. Duncan Mackenzie
q veteran of Waterloo, who died at
Elgin, Scotland, in 1866, delighted
in relating how he kissed the
duchess in taking the shilling from
between her teeth to become one
fher regiment, the Gordon High
landers, better known as the Nine
ty-second. The old Scottish vete-
ran of 81 has not left one behind
him to tell the same tale about
kissing the lie e, ell drchess in
the market-place of Dutkill
An American naval officer who
had spent some considerable time
in China narrates an amusing ex-
perience of the ignornnce of the
custom of kissing. Wishing to
cmplete conquest he had made
Of young mel jim (beautifal la
dy) he invited her-using English
words-to give him q kiss. Find
ing her comprehension of his
request somewhat obscure, he
suited the action to the word and
took a delicious kiss. The girl
ran away into another room, thor
oughly alarmed, exclaiming: "Ter-
rible man-eater; 1 shall be de-
voured." But in a moment, find
ing herself uninjured, she return
ed to him saying: 81 would learn
more of your strange rite. Kees
me" He knew it wasn't right, but
he kept on instituting her in the
rite of kee-es me until she knew
how to do it like native Yankee
girl. And after that she suggest
ed a second course, remarking:
"Kee-es me some more, seen jine,
Mee-lee-kee!" Enlightenment
CAM, and the lesson went on un-
til her mammals voice rudely
awakened them from their deli
cious dream.
Kiss her gently, but be sly;
Kiss her when there's no one by;
Steal your kiss, for then It's meetest,
Stolen kisses are the sweetest.
Tom Hood once asked whether
Hannah Moore had ever been kiss
ed-that is to say, by a man. 1t
is almost impossible to imagine
such thing, and yet it has been
asserted by the author of Reject
ed addressed" But to think of
her being kissed on the sly and in
church time! Horace Smith dis
tinctly afirms that on a certain oc
casion.

While behind the vestry door

TELEGRAPH RATES FOR NEWSPAPERS.

WASHINGTON. Feb. DIV. p. Phillips, of
New-York before a subcommittee of the Senate Com
mittee on Post Offices and Post Roads, to-day advocated
interference by the Government in the matter Of the
rates charged by Western Union Telegraph Company
TO press associations He said that the Associated Press
had secured contract based upon distance, and that,
having large number OF papers to serve the rates to
individual papers are brought down TO about Ga
cents per hundred words. The papers IN an
association Of which he was the manager,
being fewer in number, were Obliged to
pay higher rates although they could collectively obtain
from the Western Union Company the same rate per
hundred words for a like distance lie advocated the
adoption of system such he said had grown up in
England. under which any paper might purchase the
news of association at rate low charged
10 any other paper in city. John Van Horne,
president OF the estern Union Company, will ap
near before The subcommittee tomorrow and Dr.. Nor
yn Green will appear on Monday,
