Byron.
The part OF the Rhine which is most Wis
tied by tourists, and has been made most
famous by poets and writer's in general,
is from Cologne, in Southwestern Prussia,
to Mayence or Mainz !, in sse-Cassel,
and the ride on one of the small river
steamers takes nearly all day, going up
stream. Most of the way it is lined with
small mountains or lofty cliffs, and in each
most commanding situation one usually
finds the ruins Of a castle. These were
built mostly in the Middle Ages by the
rObber barons OF those days, who exacted
toll from the boats passing up and down
the river, but many also were inhabited
by the nobiest and most chivalrous
knights, and many stories are still told
here of
"Knighthood's dauntless deed and beauty's
matchless eye"

vasions of Germany by the French in the

Most of US have read in Mrs. Norton's
poem Of "the vine-clad hills of Bingen,
fair Bingen, on the Rhine;" and in fact
the hills are literally clad with vines from
top to otom all along this part of the
| river. Where the cliffs are naturally too
steep, walled terraces have been built to
! catch the earth washing from above; aud
! all over these are raised excellent grapes,
| from which the best Rhine wines are
made. From Biebrich, near Mainz, it is
a three-mile drive to Wiesbaden, the great
summer resort.

Col. j. w. Mattox, OF Wilkes county,
about twelve years ago received little
peach tree from a nursery. II grew along
in the even tenor of its way, bearing large
and luscious peaches, which ripened in
August. Last year nearly every large
peach had a small one Joined to the stem.
The large peaches ripened at the usual
time, then the small ones grew and
ripened nearly two months later.
For the past three or four days the re-
ports that have come in from the grow ng
crops in Oglethorpe are not encouraging.
Rain is needed almost everywhere and by
everything, consequently cotton is she'd
ding badly, and young corn is firing up
hurtfully. Forward cotton, though, has a
good crop on it that 1t cannot throw of,
and early corn is made, so nothing can
hurt it. There is enough of these two
crops to keep up the county's average,
and should rain fall within the next day
or two-and there are signs for it--late
crops will yield an abundance in most
places.
A Fort Valley planter boosted that he
believed that caterpillars would prove

"THE POINT"
The Hospitable Home of Captain ID. Ii
Cade.

from mo WdShtngtOn GnSetke.
''The Point" where old Petersburg
once stood, now has only one residence
and that a new one. This is the charm
ing and delightful home of Capt. ID. b.
Cade. Old Petersburg lay between, and
near the confluence Of, Savannah and
Broad rivers, had six or eight Thousand
inhabitants, about forty stores, and was
the most important city in this part of
the country. The builders OF this city
located, as they thought. at the head OF
navigation on the Savannah river; but
alas, ''the best laid plans OF
men and mice gang aft aglee."
Augusta, fifty-fve miles down the
river proved to he the true location for a
great city, and to her was a reality what
WAS only dream to her former great
rival. Lisbon was situated just across
Broad river and Vienna just across the
Savannah from Petersburg. An old brick
store in Lisbon tells OF it's former glory,
while Vienna shows not a vestige OF a
building. Old Petersburg was the
larger OF the three places, but all three
have now crumbled to.the ground and the
citizens have all passed away. NOW ana
then we meet some aged person who can
tell us Of these former cities. An old lady
told us rot long since that she bought her

While He Is Writing His Obituary.


While He Is Writing His Obituary.
Frank Smith, who died in Irwinton a
day OF two ago, wrote his own obituary.
The Irwinton Southerner and AppeoLsays
just two hours previous to his death he
called for pencil and paper, and with fin
gers chilled by approaching death, be
wrote the enclosed lines, which he de-
sired you to publish: ave regret very
much to have to chronicle the severe III
ness Of Mr.. Frank Smith, better known as
the irrepressible Benjamin +. We hate to
announce this sad occurrence. He is at
the residence of the Rev. Thomas Dupree,
near the line of WILKINSON and Laurens
counties. Frank is well known all over
the State, and pretty well known In Flor
ida. He is a printer by trade, of which
all the readers OF the SOutherHer and .4p-
peal are aware. He commenced the trade
with the late Mr.. Carnes, who started
a paper and called IL the S0utherRer.
He was not a member OF the church,
but his desires were very much with
the Christian church, and would have
joined If he-he is very low at this
writing, and recovery is impossible
we will state his condition in our next
paper, as we are much interested in
Frank. Frank was very popular with
the girls wherever he went, and we are
sorry he is stricken with death"
Here the sands Of life were swiftly
ebbing, and the ICY hand dropped lifeless
by his side. leaving his article incomplete
as his soul went upward TO the God who
gave It.. The SOutherner says he was
buried at night, which recalled remark
he once made that al. he feared about
death was his first night in the grave.
