and hold what land they had. There are
quite a number of representatives from
different parts Of the State here talking
on agricultural topics, but the ques-

THE RUssO-GERMAN SITUATION.
What a Russian Authority SAYS in Cor
recting German Misstatoments.

ST. PETERSBURG, February 3-The
Noo0e Vreplya publishes an article from q
well known Russian military authority,
in which the writer charges the N}ttatr
Wochemb!aH of Berlin with deceiying the
German public regarding the military
positions Of Russia and Germany, and
says an impartial and general cluciGa,ion
OF their true positions is desirable in the
interests of the two nations. COntinu.
ing he says: The only means of pro-
tecting Russia from German or Austrian
attack is to increase the offensive power
of Russian forts aud the number of
troops on the frontier and 10 expand the
railway system. From military
view there must not be REGARDED
merely the narrow area OF actually
protected frontier but the whole
possible theatre OF an eventual war Rus
sia must consider the territory from the
western frontier to the Dwina and
Dneeper whereas Germany must guard
her country from the Russian frontier to
the middle course of the Elbe, including
Berlin, while Austria must protect the
territory extending 10 the middle course
of the Danube. including Vienna and
Pesih. The THraIide Russo correctly
pointed out this view Regarding the
number of troops in the frontier districts,
II the extent of area be considered, a
comparison will give sixteen and half
Austrian and German corps against eight
aud a half Russian corps. The N0c0e
Vremya prints details of the defensive
character Of the Russian frontier arma-
ments, and says that Russia does not
cOyet an inch Of German territory, but
will not cede an inch of her own. Russia
is animated by profound love OF peace
She will not conceal that she Is preparing
for defense so long as Germany remains
quiet she will not be menaced with at
tack from any quarter.

"sOLID COMFORT"
How a Favorite Trout Hole in the
Muckalee Got It's Name.

low a faVOrlCe trout Hole IN the
Muckalee Got It's Name.
From the Albany (Ga) Netcs and advertiser.
Dink Melvin, the well-known fisherman,
knows every nook and Granny in Kincha-
foonee and Muckalee creeks, and has
name, suggested by some incident, for
nearly every shoal, bend, rapid or eddy.
'Solid Comfort" is the name that he gave
to certain place in the Muckalee, and this
is the way he came to give it the name: In
the spring of last year he was padding"
Col. Bill Parker while the latter min
moved" the stream for trout. The colonel,
as everybody who has ever flshed or hunted
with him knows, always carries
along plenty of ammunition or bait, 'as the
case may be, and never starts out without
a supply of ice water (He is long ways
from Albany now, and we can tell little
more on him than we would risk if we
knew we had to face him soon.) On this
particular occasion he had ice water and
mint julep aboard'his boat, and when that
particular locality now known by all ang-
lers on the beautiful Muckalee as 'Solid
Comfort" was reached, the colonel made
some such remark to Dink as the governor
of North Carolina once made to the govern
or of South Carolina.
Dink knows the meaning of all such re-
marks, and is not slow to act upon them.
The boat was stopped, and the colonel
prepared to refresh himself. When he had
poured out about "three fingers of his ia
vorite beverage, he cast his minnow ahead,
and held his rod in one hand and his glass Of
julep in the other.
Just as he commenced to sip the julep a
trout struck and was hooked.
"Ah! said the colonel, after a sip of the
julep, and as he held the ice-cold beverage
in one hand and the bending rod in the
other, this is what call solid comfort-a
trout in one hand and mint julep in the
other "
Dink Melvin was so convulsed with laugh
ter at the colonel's cool jocundity that he
almost fell out the boat, and ever since
then he has called that place in the creek

An Old Relic.

From, the BrooksviJle tGG.) Herald.
During the revolutionary war Squire T. L.
Jones' grandfather lived near Norforlk, Va.
The British raided his place, captured his
negroes and carried them away. The
family fled on the approach of the British,
but before doing so buried their silverware
and other valuables. Squire Jones showed
us one of the teaspoons Tuesday that was
buried at the time. 1t is worn very much,
the handle being almost round.
Gen. Lafayette recaptured the negroes the
next day after the British had taken them
away. He established his headquarters at
Mr. Jones' residence and requested that
gentleman TO go and identify his negroes,
among hundreds of others that had just
been recaptured from the red-coats. He did
so. and brought them back home.
Squire Jones middle name is Lafayette,
being named for the gallant French patriot
