Facts from the Farms.

Heavy grain crops should be put in this
year by Georgia planters.
The present indications point to an
abundant fruit crop around Butler.
Gwinnett county farmers complain that
their seed potatoes are rotting in the bed.
julie Cook, of Twiggs, had about 100
acres of cotton killed by the frost last
week.
Sumter county rye patches having
served their time are now being plowed
up and the ground planted in corn.
DIR. Wood and Col. Lindsey, of Wilkin-
son county, have planted Russian sun
flower seed for the benefit of their fine
poultry.
The rabbits have destroyed a number OF
fruit trees in Gwinnett county this spring,
and the people speak of trying what virtue
there is in the canine family.
Mrs. j. r. Brown, of Hancock county,
has dug up enough stumps for S. NJ.
Hitchcock, at five cents a piece, to come to
S., and has not neglected her household
work either.
Whitfield gardeners have had good
weather in which to work the past ten
days, and each is striving hard for first
honors. Garden truck will be a month
later than ever before.
Inc farmer VINO UOeS not plant tue
heaviest grain crop of his life this year
will be very much in his own light. With
half dozen wars going on in the world
at the same time provisions must con-
tinue to rise.
A warehOuseman says that the guano
sales in the Dalton market are heavier
this year than ever before. This would
indicate that farmers will plant largely
OF cotton again, to the neglect of more
important crops perhaps.
Sumter farmers are beginning to chop
cotton, and the cotton is small in
quantity and poor in quality. The east
winds which have prevailed during the
last few DAYS causa the plants to look
rather poorly. The cotton plant can
stand anything except an east wind.

Many of our republican contempt
raries have been talking much about
the greed Of Democrats for Office.
Here is what a correspondent Of the
Washington Star saws on that sub
ject as compared with the first repub-
lican administration.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
If you will refer to your file of
March, '6l, when a republican ad-
mihistration succeeded a democratic
rule of eight continuous years, the
scenes in Washington, as regards
Office, in March, 'S5, will seem to you
very tame. AS Washington writer
at the time for the New York and
western press, kept, for personal
reference, an exact record of all re-
movals, designations and appoint
ments day by day, so far as obtaina
bic at the departments and from the
press, from the 5th day of March to
the 9th day of September, 1861. 1t
is before me now. BY the LIST day of
April, every 6Preign mission and con-
sulate of any Importance had been
vacated and filed, as also a very
large proportion of the domestic pres
idential appointments. In vertical
ton of this l refer you to the New
York Herald of March 25th. 81,
though the list there is by no means
full or perfect. AS to the executive
departments, as. early as March 9th,
heads began to fall. Hundreds were
off before the LIST of April, and the
decapitation continued increasingly
for months. Even in the inviolate
State department, out of a total of
twenty.six clerks, eleven lost their
heads! The number of clerks in that
department is now about sixty, /
think. This wholesale decapitation
was comparatively easy task to
men of iron, like Blair, Seward, Cam
eron, Chase, inspired by stern sense
of duty, unrestricted by "civil SER
vice." and, after Sumter, impelled,
possibly, by apprehension, when every
southern man in Office was pre-
sumed secessionist and spy, and
every northern democrat was pre-
sumed apologist and sympathizer.
Some of these men voluntarily resign
ed Office and went straight to similar
office at Montgomery; whilst not a
few who remained in Washington
were recalled to office within the
year, when the services of trained
clerks and experts had become in
dispensable. And, strange to tell,
more than one department clerk de-
capitated as a "copper-head" in 81,
was federal general long before '65.

The comments of the Republican
papers ON the New York postoffice
appointment are curious in that they
mean all possible mischief to the
Democratic party. They care pre-
.cious little about Pearson, but they
do care "a great deal aboutssDemo-
cratic opposition to Democratic
President. The Dispatch airs its
independence by falsely proclaiming
a general revolt in the Democratic
ranks is impending. 1t also says
''the appointment will bring delight
to the hearts of Republican machine
men," and in the next paragraph
declares Pearson has conducted his
office strictly on business principles
las to provoke attack from vigorous
Republicans who thought he should
have furnished a corps of disciplined
workers at the last election" Some
thing of contradiction here. The
Gazette is surprised that President
Cleveland should stand firm by his
civil service pledges. and well it may
be, for the last four Republican Pres
idents were profuse in similar
pledges, but repudiated them as soon
as inaugurated. Confessed them
selves hypocrites, as the. Gazette
says it expected Cleveland would.
The Republican machine organs are
in reality much more disgruntled
over the Pearson appointment than
the Democratic papers. They APP
preciate with their usual acuteness
that if Cleveland had not been faith
full to his pledges the Democratic
party would have suffered.-Pitts

ARBOR DAY.
Superinte nd emit of Schools Nor.
gan Appoints u Day.


Superintendent of Schools Nor
gan has set apart Saturday, April
25th, as Arbor Day for the schools
in this State not closing until May,
and for the accommodation of the
fall schools another day will be set
apart in November. The custom of
setting apart a day for the purpose
of planting trees, shrubs, ETC., origi-
natingin those Western States which
were almost destitute of a natural
growth of timber, is gradually spread
ing over the entire country. New
York has just made Arbor Day a
general holiday throughout the State,
and it is very probable the Pennsyl-
vania Legislature will do the same
thing before adjourning. While
West Virginia has little need of OBJ
serving the day for the purpose of
tree planting, nature having herself
clothed our hills and valley with an
abundant growth of trees, still the
day should be observed none the less
on this account. Most of our West
Virginia school houses are entirely
destitute of anything in the way of
ornamentation, the grounds, for the
most part, being bare, and either dry
and dusty in summer, or deep with
mud in the spring and autumn. With
proper observance of Arbor Day, a
few years will bring about a wonder
full change in this regard, and if
nothing else were to be accomplished,
this one great improvement would
justify the careful attention Superin-
tendent Morgan will give it.

which Wav shall We FIy Z:

The Republicans are in deep po-
litical distress. There is no favor
able opportunity to attack Cleye-
land for any of his official acts. Be
sides, there is nothing a Republican
politician will not give in exchange
for an Office, and it is still hoped
that Cleveland may spare to many
of them the positions they have
long held. Now it would not be a
gracious thing for the critics to
abuse the President while he with
holds the official ak. Therefore
there is great anxiety and some tur-
MOL in the camp of our antagonists.
To denounce or not to denounce,
that is the question. Whether to
hold on to what they have, amid I'M
certainty and at the mercy of a po-
litical foe, or by one bold and des-
perate effort denounce the benefac-
tor and end the humiliating masque-
rade.
Something may soon occur to
solve the difficulty and simplify the
situation. The appointment of Eu-
gene Higgins as clerk in the Treas
ury Department, and suspension of
business for a day in the Depart
ment of the Interior, in honor of the
dead rebel-Jacob Thomson-are
items of interest and crumbs of com
fort to those Republicans who are
out and not likely to get into Office
under Grover Cleveland. But these
are mere straws while the situation
demands mountains. We strongly
sympathize with all who are dis
tressed and for the comfort and CON
ISOLATION of our friends, advise calm
serenity and patient submission.
This advice may not quench present
thirst or satisfy the increasing pangs
of hunger 1t must be remembered
however that irritation aggravates
but does not cure complaints. - Re

NEURALGIA OF the Face.

Capt. John Orr, Pennington, Miss, has
been a most intense sufferer from facial
neuralgia for over twenty years. He has
had seventeen operations performed on
the nerves-that is, had them divided, cut
off close to the bone from which they
emerge. But this never did him any good;
the most excruciating pain continued
without the least interruption. He often
wished for death to relieve him of the in
tolerable pain. The best physicians failed
to relieve him. They finally advised him
to consult Drs. Hartman & Miller, at the
St. Charles Hotel, New Orleans, which
he did. They prescribed PERUNA, and
in less than month was entirely relieved
Of the pain. Before consulting these doc
tors the least touch to any part of his face
or nose would cause the most fearful pain,
while now he can blow his nose and wipe
his face without the least fear of pain.
The captain is grateful beyond measure
for this unexpected and unhoped for result.
Mrs. Elizabeth Kenner, SO Laurel street,
New Orleans, has been one of the great
est sufferers from Neuralgia of the face
during the past year that we have ever
heard of. From morning to night, and
from, night to morning, there was one
constant, racking, tearing, burning pain,
extending clear around her head and deep
down through every muscle, tooth and
bone in her face. No rest and no sleep.
All physicians failed to relieve her, as
we'll as all remedies. She was constantly
in the most agonizing despair. She called
on DIR. Hartman, who said the cause was
chronic catarrh. He prescribed PERUNA
for her and now every pain has left her.

A Roy IN BLUE.
Takes Some Exceptions to a Re.
cent Statement.
To tho Edifnr IF tho Nrw DoHxrNroN


A local contemporary of yours in a
late issue says: "The Grant bill
was passed-but there were IS nays,
nearly all Southern ex-rebels. Make
note of it, veterans who wore the
blue" We have made a note of it.,
and l will venture to say that 80 of
every hundred union soldiers will
say those IS congressman did just
right. The union soldiers have not
forgotten the bill that was passed by
congress for their benefit in 1872.
1t was sent to Grant, who was then
President. He vetoed it and said the
soldiers did not need anything more
from the Government. The next
day he signed bill to double his
own salary.
In the name Of common sence when
are the American people and the
government going to get through CIV
ing this man presents? He has re-
ceived nearly five hundred thousand
dollars during the last 25 years in
salaries, and goodness knows how
much in presents from the people
and yet our wise law makers think
that it is still not enough! And yet
the poor devils of private soldiers
may die and rot, and the Govern
ment cares nothing for them. The
Government has defrauded nearly
every soldier that was in the Union
Army How? The Government
agreed to pay the soldiers Is dollars
per month in gold or its equivalent.
Did it do SOP No it paid its soldiers
promises to ray' called Greenbacks,
which, at one time you could buy at
about one-third of its face for gold.
Now we ask congress to pay to the
boys in blue the balance due them
before they become so generous to
one man.
We long ago discovered that the re-
publicans were not friends of the un-
ion soldiers unless they. had been
commissioned officers. Now as the
Democrats have got into power, let us
see whether they are willing to pay the
soldiers the balance due them which
the republicans failed to do.
