TURNING SOUTHWARK.

Touching invitations for farmers to
visit localities, DIR. Eastabrook writes
at would be well for committees
from the many points that want to
entertain visitors to be in Atlanta
February 9Th. They can there meet
the excursionists, talk things over
and arrange small excursions. One
thing is certain, hundreds of Ohio
farmers will be in Atlanta on Febru-
airy 9th, wanting to prospect for a
home in Georgia.
Mr.. S. w. Goode, the well.known
real estate man of Atlanta, says GA
great many sales will result from
these excursions. | have orders for
five farms near Gainesville, and a
request to have ready a tract on
which fifty families of Dunkards can
find room. The talk of the Ohioans
has turned Pennsylyanians' eyes this
way, and Mr.. J. J. Springer is organ
izing an excursion of farmers from
Lancaster county which promises to
be larger than the Ohio crowd"
Lancaster county is, according to
the census, the richest county in
America. Lands average 5000 an
acre, and the farms are very small
Many of the farmers are looking tol
cheaper lands that they can bring NJ
to a high state of fertility, good wa
ter, good society and good climate
All this they will find in Georgia
Mr.. Springer thinks he can bring
500 on his first excursion. Between
Ohio and Pennsylvania, we certainly
ought to catch hundred or so gooC
farmers.

MISSING PEOPLE.

All newspaper readers remember
now the whole country was thrown
INTO protracted fever of excitement
by the news of the abduction of Char
ley Ross at Philadelphia several wears
ago. Charley was the son of a promi-
nent merchant who spent a moderate
fortune in search of his child, and
had the assistance and sympathy of
nearly every official, detective and
newspaper in the United States.
Last year over 600 persons were re-
ported to the police as missing from
their homes in Philadelphia. Of
these, DO were young girls and "A
boys, between the ages of u and q
years. Many of these were never
heard of again, and no particular fuss
was made about them outside of the
limited circles in which they moved.
1t is impossible to estimate even how
many of them have gone to the bad.
or been drowned or killed by accident

PATRONIZE HOME TRADE AND IN.
DUSTRY.

A well known journal remark
that no city or town can be perma
nently prosperous in which the citi
zens and tradesmen dependent upor
each other, do not patronize each
other. The merchant wants a set Of
harness, and he imagines he can save
nifty cents by sending to another town
or state for his harness. The bar-
: ness-maker sends away for his gro
ceres, boots, shoes and clothing.
The shoemaker sends for his coat,
and the tailor for his boots, and so it
goes. AS result, the farmers, com
ing to town to trade, see all the
. tradesmen seuding to other towns be-
cause they can save money by so do
ing, come to the conclusion that they
can do better elsewhere. No wonder
The business men themselves turn
the tide of trade elsewhere. for if
they can supply themselves to better
advantage by depriving their neigh
bors of their trade, others learn to
try the same experiment. Even if a
tribe can be saved in the purchase of
harness, pair of boots suit of
cloths, a hat, barrel of flour or a
yard OF calico, ten dollars is lost
where one is saved and then the en-
tire business of the place goes to de-
cay. Show us a town in which the
people make it rule not to send
away for anything they can get at
home, s AND T S&d vii ds entering from
abroad. Prices are low and trades
men patronize each other, having no
suspicion that confidence will be
abused. Let it once be understood
that the business men of any town
are in the habit of sending abroad
for their purchases and the business
of the town will languish. Having |
no confidence in each other, how can
they expect others to have confidence
in them? Patronize each other and |
keep all your business at home.

DURATION OF LOVE IN MEN AND WO-
MEN.

Somebody who didn't spend all his
time sitting around the house growl
ing at flies and raising blue chaos
whenever dinner wasn't ready to the
minute, has placed the opinion on re-
cord that with a woman love is an alb
solute reality, while with a man it is
little more than the commonest kind
of side show.
When you behold damsel with
eyes like those of damaged macker-
ell, whose nose is blue at the tip and
sharp-pointed from much weeping,
shutting around the house in an old
dress that makes man feel like flee
ing to the mountains, you can salt it
down for certainty that she wants
to marry man too worthless to make
good fish bait. Some night when
least expected, she will skip out by
the light of the moon to escape with
the scalawag, leaving more love in
the home from which she steals away
than she will ever find i'll his bosom,
and from that time on she is to COM
mand under all circumstances, no
matter whether he steals horse or
goes to Congress, and so long as he
treats her half white, nothing but the
discovery that he has got mashed on
some other woman can ever change
her feelings towards him.
A man falls in love the same as
mute goes down with a sinking bridge.
Simply because he can't help it, but
it seldom does him any permanent
injury. The shape of nose, the
sweep of an eye or the wave of
curl trips him up and settles his hash
without an instant of warning, and
there he is, the bluest kind of a cap
tive, until marriage or some new fas-
cination breaks the charm that binds
him. He is pretty sure to love like a
burning brush heap while he is about
it, but the trouble is, his fame is too
ardent to be durable. He will swear
to a blue-eyed sprite that he loves
her for all eternity, and within three
months after marriage will 60 to
bowling about the cooking, and make
her life purgatory without a streak
of light. If she breaks down and
dies of Encouragement, as not infre
quently happens, he will slide up to
some other hour before the daises
bloom again, in total forgetfulness
, that he ever lost a wink of sleep by
being in love before Chicago Ledger.

DYING OF HYDROPHOBIA.

The six-year old son of Seward
Applegate, a well-to-do farmer, liv-
ing near Spotswood, New Jersey, was
a weakly little fellow with great
fondness for dogs. On Dec. 9th he
was playing in the public road in
front of his fathers house, when a
white hound came Looping down the
road toward him. The hounds mouth
was open, and his tongue was lolling
out. The little fellow stood watching
him admiringly, until the dog, with a
growl, sprang at him and bit his
cheek. 1t then ran on. The wound
was dressed by the boys parents,
and in a few days it healed.
On last Thursday the boy com
planned of thirst. Water was prof
fered him. At the sight OF it he
shuddered, and few minutes later
he was attacked with commissions.
DR.. Van Randi OF Jamesburg treated
the child for hydrophobia, but in
spite of his efforts CONFUSION sue
ceeded CONFUSION. The child made
strange noises in his throat, and froth
appeared in his mouth. He also BIT
himself very severely on his arms
several times. At times two mel
were hardly able to hold him. He
was worse on Friday, and struggled
fercely to escape from imaginary
dogs, which he said were trying t.
bite him. All day on Saturday he
suffered. Early on Sunday morning
he seemed to rally. He called fol
water, but at sight of it he was at
tackled with commissions again. One
convulsion rapidly succeeded anoth.

RORING EOR WHISKY.

Saturday and Sunday some thiev-
ing lover of the ardent, who was well
acquainted with the inside appoint
ments of George J Briant's whole
sale liquor establishment, crawled un-
der the rear end of Mr.. Briant's
store, and with an auger, boared
through the floor and through for
ty-fve gallon barrel of fine whisky,
worth about s160. Yesterday morn
ing when the store was opened the
quantity of whisky on the floor led to
the discovery of the theft, and there
was not over one gallon Of whisky
left in the barrel. Probably about
one-half or two-thirds of it passed
through the auger hole in the floor
to the thief who knew 50 well where
to bore tor fine goods.-Rome Bulle

STOLE A HOUSE.
A Robbery That Is Perhaps Without a
Parallel.

.
A Louisville special says: Prob
ably the most remarkable robbery on
record in any country was reported
at the mayors office yesterday by
Mrs. Ross, a well-to.do lady, aged
perhaps, fifty years, who lived in the
country about six miles from the CITY
The story she tells sounds more like a
nonsensical mumbling of lunatic
than the revelation of sane person.
but 1t is true in every particular.
Mrs. Ross said she is the owner Of
lot on the corner of Fifteenth and
Prentice streets, in the west end of
the city, on which in April last there
was a substantial brick house contain
ing eight rooms. During that month
the tenant occupying the house was
eJected for nonpayment of rent, and
the house was not again rented. Mrs
Ross's health not being very good
she does not visit the city often, and
IN consequence could not pay much
attention, personally, to her property.
She went to look at it in regard to
some repairs on the LIST of March
when everything was in good order.
Since then she has not visited the
premises until yesterday morning.
This visit was made in somewhat of n
hurry A few days aSo- ,.,...-.-i1'' 80
understand what he was driving at,
when he explained that there were
about one thousand old brick scatter
ed over the lot, which had evidently
been left when the house was torn
down. Alarmed at the mans state
ment, Mrs. Ross came to the city,
and to her CONSERVATION discovered
that her house had vanished COM
pletely, only small pile of brick re-
naming to show where it had stood.
The building had been carried away,
brick by brick, until almost IKE last
vestige was gone.
The most remarkable part of the
story is that no one has been seen
working about the premises at any
time, and no wagon or cart had been
noticed hauling anything therefrOm
by the neighbors. The work of raz-
ing the building must have been
done at night and the material car
ried away by hand. To make the
work of spoliation complete, Mrs.
Ross says frame house on the back
part Of the lot has been moved across
an alley to vacant commons, and is
now occupied by family who claim
it MS their own.
Bank safes have been stolen and
and carted away, but this is the first
instance on record in which a two
story brick house has turned up mys-
teriously missing.

pounds of meat or many pounds of
potatoes, while as food it is in every
sense of the word far superior to the
best wheat bread. Although itgrows
spontaneously throughout the trop-

to Humboldt, as much food materially
as thirty-three acres of wheat, or over
