Steals a Skull.

Iron, the Epcelsior Pioneer and Eo0le.
Many years ago a gentleman lived In
this county who had peculiar views or
feelings respecting death, insOTnuch that
he requested that his body should not be
buried, but Enclosed In a coffin and placed
IN a small house built on posts above
ground. When he died his wish was
carried out. The little house still stands,
and many persons have visited 1t
and looked at the remains, which consist
OF the skeleton and clothing, which, we
have been told, are In a remarkable state
of preservation. Not long since young
man engaged in the study and practice OF
dentistry wanted n skull in order 20
study more perfectly the anatomy OF the
teeth, and 40 went 10 the said little house
and got the skull. When the descend
ants OF tho deceased man (grand-
sons) found II out they were greatly
incensed against the young man and,
We learn, are threatening to prosecute
him for grave robbing.

A SOLDIERS MEMORY.
Manhood Pays Its Tribute to Boyhood's
Hero
n. N. F0Is0m, n Tald0sta Tln.es.

N. N. Folsom, IN Vdldostd Times.
just at the beginning Of the war my
father took me with him to Valdosta. His
business there was to carry Mansfield
Lewis that far on his way to join his COM
mand. Now, l loved Mr.. Lewis with n
devotion that was as unaccountabie as it
was sincere. His brusque manner, sour
temper, and usually cross look would
naturally have kept at distance most
youngsters. But there was that about him
that won my boyish affection, and never
moonstruck swain adored his mistress
with more disinterested affection than
did that man. For long hours l have
tramped after him over the pine-oovered
ridges with my dog "Sultan," and carri d
the squirrels as Mr.. Lewis shot them.
Then | would sit open-mouthed and
listen most attentively as he recounted
his wonderful exploits and experiences.
If these lines should ever meet his eye,
trust that he will accept them as man
hoods tribute to boyhood's hero.
On our way to town we stopped at
Troupville for dinner. There is cool
spring on the eastern bank of the
WlthlacOochee, and here we spread our
modest repast. ! remember well the
beauty OF the suuoundngs-the cool
shade, famed by the arching boughs over
muring waters below. For an hour we
sat there, my father and Mr.. Lewis talking
OF that all-absorbing topic, the war, its
consequences and the prospects of the
country. AT last the conference broke up,
and very timidly | approached my hero
and said: "Mr. Lewis, do they have little
bits o. pistols in the war;" "Lots of
EN-" he replied. "Well, sir, wish, if
you see one lying round, after the fight,
that somebody's drowned away, you
would iist put it in your pocket for me-"
A grim smile played around the stern
features of the soldier as he assured me
that he would remember my wish. And
what do you think? After many months
they brought him home as helpless as a
child, wasted with disease and on the
verge of the grave; but among his belong
ings was a don ble-barreled pistol, which
he bought In Savannah for the dlminutve
companion of his squirrekhunting days.
Amid all the troubles that beset the SOL
dier's path, he had not forgotten me, and
/ love him for ib till this day

Farm Facts.
GEORGIA.

Crops continue fine in Barlow county.
Crops in Putnam county are unusually
good.
1t is thought that the dry weather has
checked the spread of the cotton cater
pillar in Brooks county.
Crops about Swainsboro are now need
ing rain badly, and will be materially In
jured if the drought continues much
longer.
Coroner John Daniel, of Terrell county,
says farmers need have no fear of cater
pillars this year, as they only appear
when June-bugs do. He hasn't seen a
June-bug this year. The cotton crop is
safe.
Ut. Hayes, of Thomas county, has
twenty-five acres of cotton from waist to
shoulder high, which he thinks will aver
age from one to two bales to the acre; also
forty acres Of corn which will make thirty
bushels to the acre.
u. d. DunaWay, of Wilkes county,
planted one peck of Irish potatoes on $50
square feet of ground, and made eight
bushels and one peck. If sold at the reg
ular retail prices they would bring $13 20,
making the yield per acre worth $771 10.
Terrell Cochran, of Wilmus district, in
Banks county, had stack of wheat
burned on Monday containing sixty odd
bushels of grain. The fire caught from
the thresh engine just as they were MAX
ing preparations to thresh out the wheat.
Barber Cone, of Bullock county, has a
mule with which he has cultivated Fl
crops. The mule was taken up on Sher-
mans camp in 1864, and had then passed
the age at which its age could be deter
mined by its teeth. The mule is over 81
years old, but it is good mule yet, doing
all kinds of farm work.
Valdosta Times: There is no longer any
doubt about the army worm or cotton
caterpillar. He is here. In nearly every
cotton field in Lowndes the young worm,
not over q half inch long, can be seen, but
they are not in such quantities as to
create panicy feelings among the farmers
The present crop of worms, 1t is claimed,
cannot injure the cotton crop materially.
They will have TO 'web up' and bring
forth another brood, which will
take, according TO the usual
custom of the caterpillar, about
three weeks from the time they
web. The present crop will not be grown,
and will not web, under a week. This
will postpone the evil about four weeks.
But, we are informed. the worm some
times propagates its kind more rapidly,
and the destruction may get Ia sooner. If,
however, they do not yet down TO BUSH
ness under four weeks from this time
they will not be able to cut the crop off
much. They will be an advantage 10
early cotton. The weather for few days
past has been very favorable 10 the worms.
They flourish better in cloudy, damp
weather.

Now she is comparatively free from the
Prolapsus, Stomach's sickness, &c. The
hemorrhage is very much better and is
less at the regular periods. Her appetite
is restored, and her general health and

we have been wonderfully benefited and

A Work of Prime Importance IL Good Re-
suits BE Expected.
Preparing the seed-bed after theplow
is work of no small Importance. In
regard to the consistency of the soil at
the time of working the same rule laid
down for blowing would also be appli-
cable here. A good seed-bed can not
be made from wet, waxy earth. A
very sandy soil may be worked when
quite wet, as the particles never adhere
to any great extent, as is the ease with
soils contaning considerable amount
of clay or loan. One cultivating or
narrowing when the ground is in the
right condition will do more good than
three when the ground is too wet to
fall apart readily.
Where the land is plowed in autumn,
or quite time before seeding, it should
not, as a rule, be replowed. That por-
ton which has lain exposed to the
action of the elements is best adapted
to the wants of plant life, as it is more
thoroughly disintegrated, and, there
fore, holding its fertility in an immedi-
ately available form. To turn this sur
face soil under would be to lose all that
has been gained by the action of the
frost or by other means. A thorough
stirring and mixing is what it wants.
Cultivators with deep, sharp teeth
should first be used, running them both
ways across the field. After thus
loosening up and stirring the whole
depth of the soil let the sun and air
have chance at it for a few hours at
least before putting on the harrows.
The last should have fine, closely-set
teeth and be light and wide, that the
work may be rapidly as well as
effectively done. A team can draw
light-framed, steel-tooth harrow
that takes ten-foot sweep as
easily as it could many of the old
fashioned six-by-six timbered drags
that covered. less than half the width.
With good wide harrow we can go
be required with a narrow one. What
we gain in this way should be applied
to the finer working of the soil. As q
general thing. but one narrowing sue
ceeds the cultivating before seeding
Another cross-harrowing is of immense
benefit, and it should be given if pos
sible. One narrowing after the cult
waiting usually leaves the field in very
smooth, even condition, but it is thu
second narrowing that makes the sur
face fine. AS rule we should pu
more work on the land before the see(
is sown and less after. The finer thu
seeds to be sown the finer the sol
should be made. For small garden
seeds we can hardly make the soil fin,
enough with our field harrows. Ii
small gardens the garden-rake may b.
used after the harrow, but one who i
gardening on large scale should have
very light harrow with small, stee
teeth set closely together. Such al
implement is also excellent for tn
smaller field seeds, such as grass, tur
nips, etc. The roller should not b
used ON heavy soils either before o
after seeding. On light, porous soils
may precede the marking for crop
that are to be planted in rows or drills

Painful Impressions.

A remarkable characteristic of the
average newspaper reader OF the day is
the eagerness and aviditv one seeks for
painful impressions caused by perusing
accounts of human suffering. Is there
a railroad accident, a steamboat diSaS-
ter, hanging, lynching, murder or
anything of this nature Vividly written
up and glowingly pictured in reporto-
rial descriptive style, it at once becomes
the most interesting item of the paper.
Managers of our large and most success
full metropolitan dailies pander to this
corrupt and morbid taste of their pa
irons. A reporter will be dispatched a
hundred miles to gather the latest and
most minute details of some licentious
rape or revolving murder, while the
deeds of the good and the virtuous are
never known outside narrow limit.
