His Chat About the Early Days and tho De

As the legend goes the first railroad
ticket ever issued to Atlanta was tc
William McGaughey, who now lives in
Red Clay, and is now in his eighty.
ninth year. The story is an interesting
one. He had represented Murray
County in the Legislature, after having
served several years as its Sheriff, and
walked to and from Milledgeville, then
the capital of the State. Returning
home he refused to offer for reelection,
and went into the trading business, and
shortly afterward went to Augusta with
a load of hogs to market. On the way
there three of the hogs dropped out OF
the car and were killed. The company
adjusted the loss by offering him free
pass back to what was then Marthas-
vile. In issuing the pass the officer in
charge remarked that 1.-THE question of
a change of name had been debated
long enough, and he proposed to issue
the pass to Atlanta" which name had
been practically settled on by the COM
pany. This was done, and Mr.. Nc
Gaughey made the first ride on ticket
issued to Atlanta.
''Uncle Billy" as he is known, is
wonderfully well preserved for one OF
his years. of Herculean frame, and
stands over six feet. He says he re-
members well the time when he trav-
eled the country road. which is now
Whitehall street, and saw the first
house built here, when it stood solitary
and alone, nestled in forest of oaks.
''Those were good old days" said he,
"and it looks as if but a decade had
passed since l enjoyed the pleasures
which :hey carried with them. 1 have
watched Atlanta's progress from the
time its first house was built, and when
l look back the few years of its exist
ence, its growth really seems miracu-
lous- Why, 1 remember that the finest
huckleberry patch ever saw grew on
the ground where the Kimball now
stands, and near by was spring at
which many time I have stopped and
caihped for the night, or for a noon
rest as l travelled to Augusta or Mil
ledgeville."
At that time North Georgia was
thickly populated by the Indians, the
section between the Marietta and
North Georgia Railroad, toward the
Alabama line, being thickly settled
with the Cherokees. ''Many time"
said Uncle Billy, shave attended their
councils, which were sometimes at the
old council grounds, now known as
Red Clay, or at what is now Ball
Ground, in Cherokee County. l then
traded with them. Two of the most
noted Cherokee chiefs of that time"
he continued, ''were Sleeping Rabbit
and Crawling Snake, and they were
well known among the white people
of the State. ''-Atlanta (Ga.) Constitas-

A CAROL OF COOKERY.

Ny face is very wan and pale,
My wasred cheeks are haggard;
My trembling limbs their Office fail,
And make me seem laggard.
Ny wonted grace has gone; indeed
NV smile is now sardenic,
In short, i seem in grievous need
OF some effective tonic.
Ny friends who, in the DAYS of old
) When was strong aud healthy,
Admired me, have all grown cold,
AS If were not wealthy.
You ask TO what this change is due?
A very natural question.
answer I'm victim to
Most awful indigestion.
Some lady friends of mine, you see
Both homeiy and good-lookine,
Have organized quite recently
A ladies school for COOKING.
TO cook well is their fondest wish.
And, as they are not wasteful,
They have me try each novel dish
To see if it is tasteful
Their soughy cake, their pale ''puff-paste'
And all suspicious viands
Are not allowed TO go to waste:
All ind their way to my hands.
All. woe is me! I've learned with pain
That when girls make a custard,
The useful egg they quite disdain,
But put in lots of mustard
They've done their best of me to make
A useful kitchen fixture,
1 know the taste of wedding-cakc
When favored with cough-mixture.
There's Charlotte, sprightliest of girls,
Whose schemes oft have their uses,
I've learned to flee when she unfurls
Her subtle Charlotte Russes.
Their pies and biscuit make me sick.
Their puddfngs, too. of suet,
Their coffee, oh, SO black and thickI
drink it. but rue it,
Although I'd love without demur
Each culinary fairy,
hotter cline I'd much prefer
To this pace cool an airy.

The Draft Horses Of France.

While some people in America call
all horses imported from France Nor
mans. it is a fact that there is no breed
in France called by that name by the
French people; the name, Norman,
therefore, is purely American. The
principal breeds of France are known
rs Perchcrons and Boullanais. The
Percherons are the most highly priced of
all French races, and all departments
of France go to the Perche for stations
to improve their local breeds. The
Perchercn stud book of France, pub
Gshed a1ssder the authority Of the French
Government, is the only stud book of
draft horses that IS or ever has been pub
lished in France, and now contains the
pedigrees of about 5000 animals. But
some importers are offering certificates
from France of Norman draft horses
that may mislead people who do not
understand the French language into
believing these records of origin. Not
one of them issued contains pedigree.
They are furnished at the request of
American buyers by the secretary of
one of the French Agricultural socie-
ties, who says there is no intention of
publishing them in stud book form, as
they have no pedigrees and are of no
value whatever. It is a well known
fact that what man gives for horse
over from $500 to $8O0-the price of a
good grade-is paid for purity of blood;
and where the seller is not able to give
the recorded pedigree of the animal
sold as evidence of additional value, he
has no right to ask it. With these facts
before him, no intelligent man will buy
horse imported from France unless
he is recorded with his pedigree in full
in the Percheron Stud Book of France.

For the week under review, the special
features have been an increase in the
quantity of grain offered on the market a
lively demand, and brisk business. Far
mers seem more disposed to let their stuff
go now while the roads are in good condi-
ton, and before the approaching spring,
with its pressure OF farm work catches
them. Some, however. are still holding
nor the dollar that bushel of wheat is in
rrinsically worth. Whether they will get
lit or not, depends largely on how the grow
ing crop appears three,naonths from now,
and upon several other things. If it shall
beconae evident before harvest that the
crop put out last fall under so many diff
culties. and small acreage at best.ls going
TO be failure, then there will no doubt
be substantial advance in prices; but it
is too soon yet to judge as to that. Tbs
only thing certain just now is that there
will be but little. if any, foreign demand.
The opening up of new wheat producing
countries, and the greatly increased and
better railway facilities in Europe, are af-
fecting the American wheat shipping
trade in an unexpected and surprising
way, and, of course, very much to our
disadvantage.
The week closes with prices in our local
