A Relic of the War.
Fton the Lakeland Ola Cracker

Mrs. Forbes of Lakeland has a piece Of
jewelry with a history-a reminder of 1.-THE
times that tried mems souls"-and women's
too, for that matter. And whea it came to
the foot cavalry" on a forced march, it
was a trying time to their shoe soles as well
as to that spiritual part within.
But we dlgres5. The reminder alluded to
is silver dollar, one side of which is
decorated, and has engraved thereon t @
following inscription: up. H. X. & j. f.
L. G. s. A. 1865"
At the surrender in North Carolina Mrs.
Forbes father, Mr.. Key, aud an army COM
panion, Mr.. Leonard, members of Wneeler's
cavalry, received le silver dollar in full
pay for their services-specie being scarce
and confederate money worthless-and were
told to divide it between them. As neither
had half dollar to give the other. they
were at a loss to know what to do, and
spoke of cutting it in half, and each keeping
a piece as a memento of the occasion. To
settle the matter they agreed to give it to
Mrs. Forbes, who sent it to New York, and
had one side ornamented and inscribed as
stated, and made into shawl pin, and that
dollar now possesses many times its face

Augustus Extra Tax.

The Augusta Chronicle, in editorially al
vocating the levying of an extra tax OF 1
per cent. to repair the damage done by the
food to the canal and other city property,
prints the following facts:
The Augusta canal the largest In the
United States, average width nearly 10y
feet, brings the water o. the Savannah
river from a point seven miles above the
city, where are permanent locks constructed
of the native granite, as handsome masonry
and substantial as can be found in the
United States. The water flows through
the city on two levels, and by third leVFl
is returned to the river just above the Guy
The length of the canal in and out OF the
city furnishes sites for numerous industries
and the head of the water can be infinitely
increased by raising the dam at the locks.
The bond I'd debt of the city of Augusta
is 81, 800 900, chiefly incurred in the con-
struction of her splendid canal and water
power. In eight years past 1893, 20O bonded
debt has been paid off entirely, and re-
duction In interest effected by lower rates
on existing debt of $3l ,2?5 By reduction
in sinking fund tax after 1883, the city tax
will not exceed . per cent.
Augusta is the largest cotton manufactur-
ing center in the south; 81, 500 bales were
consumed in 1887; number of operatives en-
ployed in the mill, :, 4470 spindles in opera
tlo'', ~VOioVOi IoOnloi f,ooV' NoPAOeAA 49,
IS, 49, 900.
The suggestion that the state legislature
remit to Richmond county the tax for 1883,
to repair the damages of the floods, is urged
with benevolence, but is utterly impractl-
cable. The legislature can do nothing Of
the sort. The example of what the state
did for Chatham county after the yellow
fever epidemic Of 1876 cannot govern as a
precedent, for the constitution OF 1877 came
in and prohibited this sort of bounty en-
tirely Article Z, section 49, paragraph /
of the present organic law declares that
''the general assembly shall not by vote,
resolution or order, grant any donation or
gratuity in favor of any person, corpora
ton or association

acts of 1882 and 1888, and the amendments
of 1886 and 1887, known as the prohibition
acts of Coweta county, repealed. He
pledges himself, also, that if elected, he
will have a bill passed allowing any man to
sell liquor by the quart by giving the re-
CURED bond and paying the license in terms
of the law. This brings up the old fight
again, and both factions are marshaling all
their forces for the conflict This question
overshadows every other issue. Those acts
declare that mo incorporated town or city
in said county Of Coweta shall levy any
tax, ETC." yet the city council of Newman,
we learn, has been collecting about 500 a
month by issuing permits, charging 10 cents
for each. That Is one reason why the peo-
pie desire change They dislike to have
the city of Newman dealing in liquor.

HIS FAILURE.
L Prominent Citizen Makes the At
tempt, but Gives Up.


From the LAGRANGE (Gd) Graphic
j. ]. Ware, LaGrange's ugly man, and
also president of the West Point Ugly Club,
thought that, after taking the blue ribbon
on his looks, he could tell bigger yarn
than any other man in the city.
But he failed.
The blue ribbon for yarns does not adorn
his coat.
Some days ago while in a crowd in front
of one of our stores he told a yarn and
looked around for some man that could
beat it.
He found that man immediately.
And he has subsidized.
The conquerer said in substance that he
knew of a lady in North Carolina that
could, by simply eating the butter, tell
whether the COW had horns or was without
them.
Not being satisfied with this signal vic
tory, he told another, and the crowd voted
him carload Of ribbons.
The second Que was to the effect that he
knew, or had heard of, a man that could
by eating the biscuits, tell if the wheat had
been turned under by mule, and also tell
whether the mule was guided by one or two
plow lines.

of London, with it's two thousand years Of
good, bad and indifferent record, and on by
the low marshes OF Essex, and the chalk
hills Of Kent-every inch of that rivers
banks could tell some interesting story.
Perhaps there is no moro romantic spot
In all England than the nook of quiet coun-
try which borders that portion of tho
Thames where It forms the boundary be-
tween the extreme western part Of the
counties Of Oxford and Berkshire.
On the one side Of the river is Cumnor,
full Of memories Of the Inflated Amy Rob-
sart Her story, sad enough, is matter of
history, and a great deal that is not history
has been made out of her tragic ending
by Sir Walter Scott in his famous novel of
'.Kenilworth." 1t win be remembered that
the Countess Amy was the wife Of the
ambitious Earl of Leicester, who imagined
that the only hindrance to his marriage
with Queen Elizabeth was-his wife. So,
with the assistance of his right bower (also
an ambitious MANI Sir Richard Varney and
his servant, Anthony Foster, the poor wom-
an was sccreted in Cumnor Hall. She was
finally strangled and thrown downstairs
the latter to give color to the report circu-
lated by Leicester, that she had acct
dentally killed herself. The entire story of
her murder was afterwards confessed by
Leicester's accomplice, but not until that
nobleman had been already banished from
Elizabeths court.
Just across the river, on the Oxfordshire
side, is Godstow Nunnery, whore " Fair
Rosamond" spent the latter portion Of her
life, and within whose walls she was buried.
Fair ROsamond" was a historical per-
sonage, whose beauty has been sung in
story by no less poet than Shakespeare.
She was the daughter of Lord Clifford, and
by her beauty and winsome ways attracted
the attention, and finally won the affection

A Ribbon Dealers Chat.

OF all fashions that fluctaate rapidly none
are more volatile than those which govern
ribbons. The greater proportion of these
fancy but necessary articles of woman's toll
let come from Europe, whence we get our
fashions. The round that certain kind Of
ribbon makes is curious to note. 1t gets its
prestige in Paris In two months it is in
New York and four months later in ST.
Louis. Four months afterwards it reaches
Denver and the far West. You can't get a
novelty in ribbon here by telegraph as you
do news. 1t must be about six months be-
hind Paris or New York This is an axiom
If milliner brings novelty here about the
time it becomes popular abroad, it viii not
60. Six months later il viii be worn by al
the ladies. 1t requires good Judgment 70

which are not frequently used, and are only

ward he raised his Winchester, and, as the
sharp report echoed among the rocks, a bull
let bored its way midway between the blaz-
ing eyes.
The noise seemed TO awaken George from
his momentary stupor. He raised his
weapon, and this time the two cracked in
unison. But there was little need to fire
again, for the dark, sinister folds Of the mon
ster slowly uncoiled from the tree, and it
fell heavily 10 the bank.
The hunters hurried forward, but again
that strange, nauseating odor assailed them,
compelling them TO retreat.
The huge reptile struggled powerfully
with violent contortions for a few moments
and then rolled with q splash into the
swiftly flowing creek, where it immediate
ly sank
Farther up the gulch they found largo
assure in the rocks which had been the
creatures den. Around IL were scattered
bones and wool in profusion, and from the
opening came an overpowering stencil that
forbid further exploration.
Where the strange monster had come
from was a mystery which was never
solved. But it had probably escaped from
some travelling menagerie and wandered to
this remote spot.
That afternoon the men returned to the
ranch with their remaining horse. The
sheep were soon removed TO the main
ranch across the fork, and the outlying
station abandoned.
AS for Baptiste, he probably fell a victim
TO the Monster Of the Gulch, as he was
never seen again. PAUL II. LEAR.
