commodation OF one thousand
men, who will be encamped the
year round as soon as the build
lngs are completed. A portion of

Our Girls.

1t is refreshing to know how
gracefully our girls are learning
to adapt themselves to the de-
mands and necessities Of the
times. But for the results of the
war many of the girls who are
now compelled to labor for their
daily food would. have been sur
rounded by all the Injuries of life
that wealth could bestow; yet,
cherily on they go, Us merrily as
il they were surrounded by mil
lions, Noble girls! How you
should be honored! Most Of our
gills have learned that work is
honorable, and while they are
rarely called upon to perform field
work, they are willing to do with
all their might whatever they find
TO do. 1t is q rare thing to find a
pauper among our young ladies.
We find some Of them teaching
some teaching music, more
honorably and proudly making
their daily bread by plying the
busy needle. How they deserve
to be encouraged, respected and
honored for that resolute will
which proclaims to the world that
they are too proud to be depend
ent, too noble and too brave to
despair. 4 true, sweet girl is
worth more than all the gold i'm
beddcd in the Sierra Nevada.

fear some shrewd editor might

Prof. Wike Ivey's Tipping Shop in
Calhoun.

Prof. Wike Ivey has tippIing
shop III Calhoun county, near the
edge of Randolph. On Monday
nigh, we are told, a party of dis
guised men visited his place of
business sometime after he had
closed doors, and with pistols at
tempted to perforate the whiskey
barrels with bullets by shooting
through the weather boarding Of
the house, against which the rear
end Of the barrels rested. They
We're elevated, however, upon a
frame, and the party, or parties
miscal3ulating the height, shot
underneath. Tho object, evident
ly, was to empty the contents up
on the floor. After amusing
themselves in this way for some
time, they drew the professors
picture, with a rope around his
neck, and warning written un-
derneath to abandon the business
in thirty days. The citizens in
that community are evidently de-
termined to exterminate the sale
of liquor in their midst. Cuth-

other points, passed through here
Sunday bound for Jacksonville,
Fla. These excursioDists started
to Florida over the Louisville and
Nashville road, but owing TO the
terrible foods at Montgomery and
other points along the road, they
changed their route at Birming-
ham and came by the way Of At
lanta. A telegram was sent to
the hotels here to prepare break
fast for them, bat by some means
the telegram wss made TO- read
sixty instead of six hundred, con-
sequentEy when they arrived here
both Of tire hotels, as we'll as
boarding houses, were overrun.
They had not had an opportunity
of stopping long enough to get a
meal in SO long and their hunger
was so great, they weDt to private
houses as well as hotels and
boarding houses, and begged the
people to sell them something to
eat, or some tea or coffee. Our

accommodate them-some, we
learn, refusing to take any pay
but their stop here was SO short
that some were forced to 90 away
