impossibility of securing at the polls an
honest election, it is the sense of this
committee that no convention be called

five hundred pages just issued by the
Presbyterian Publishing Co, Ashbury
Park, n. Y.
This book is a collection of the best
of Mrs. Frantz's poems, written at
different periods throughout her life.
Mrs. Frantz has written much and we'll,
and has gained most enviable reputa-
ton throughout our South land, as one
of our sweetest singers, and these poems
which she now offers the public are
worthy Of the reputation she has made.
Ina Greenwood is poem of some length,
written in blank verse, and Astounding in
beautiful truths and faneies. 1t is
designed as guide to young people,
who waste the precious morning hours
of their religious lives trying TO decide
which church is best.
OF the other poems, and they are
many, she says they are leaves
here and there like way-marks
along my life-path, many of theil
pages from my own heart, bearing
the impress of its joys and sorrows
hopes and fears, aspirations and failures.
If so, many of the way-marks along he
path have been very beautiful, and ar'
told in chaste and elegant language
and the pages from her heart are fai
to look upon. The hook, if it receive
the appreciation which is its due, will
we feel sure meet with a large ant
ready sale. We wish Mrs. Frant
unbounded success in her venture, ant
trust that for many long years yet, he
; pen will continue to glide over pag
after page of verse, giving us still he
lively thoughts, clothed in the graceful
raiment she so well adjusts.

"All We Need
Macon Beacon.

Macon Beacon.
One of the most encouraging features
OF the present season is our comparative
independence of other than home mar
kets. The corn crop which is now as
sured, will be adequate for home con
sumption, with something to spare, and
there was probably as much meat raised
and saved this year as has been for a
long period, in spite of the cholera
infection. Western butter, which few
years since was extensively used, is
scarcely ever seen in the market, being
superseded by the home product Early
Irish potatoes have been raised in
sufficient quantities to dispense with the
foreign article at least in the spring and
early summer for eating purposec.
More attention, late years, paid to the
hay crop, has saved great OUTLAY in
the feeding of stock, and the increased
cultivation of mIllet and oats, as an
adjunct, has proved profitable for that
purpose. In fact, Noxubee is becoming
more and more self-supporting every
year, and consequently her material
wealth is advancing in proportion. All
we need now is for our people to be more
careful in mourning and more prompt
in discharging their obligations.
