no use. Our young men are not going to
try it in the face of the hard experience
of their fathers. When there are more
people to feed and fewer to pillow they
will go at it, and not until then.
At Elberton, I heard the busy hum Of
machinery and the sound of the hammer
and the saw all about. New houses
ornament the suburbs and many more
are going up. The people are looking
for the early advent Of the great railroad
that is to come from Monroe, in North
Carolina, to Athens and Atlanta. This
has stimulated their energy and increas.
ed the values of their property. 1t has
aroused their young men and they have
formed a military company, and are
proud of their new uniforms and their
own good looks besides, and have a right
to be. Colonel Jones, the school teacher
is their file leader, anu is the colonel Of
the. Ninth Georgia battalion. He
showed me the photograph Of the noble
Leslie Devote, the first soldier who died
in the Confederate service. He was the
son of DR.. J. II. Devote, one of the
most eminent Baptist ministers of the
South, and was member of the Cover
nor's Guards from Tuscaloosa. Thai
company was ordered to Fort Morgan, il
Alabama, and on the 18th night of Feb
ruary, 1861, he, by some sad mistake
stepped off the wharf in the darkness
and was swept out to sea by the receding
tide and drowned. It is said and
believed that he was the first soldier who
lost his life in the Confederate service
| and I have no doubt of its truth.

ulting from ulterior causes. Some men
who fail of success here go West and
succeed. The reason generally will be
found in the man and not in the country.
Change of location sometimes breaks old
associations and habits which have clogg>
ed the SUCCESS of a person. In new
country, with new surrounding, he starts
anew the race of life, breaking the
shackels which before crippled his pro-
.gress. Again, sometimes man cutting
loose from parents aud friends and going
to new country shows an energy and
spirit which he never did before, and
this leads to success. He feel he has no
one but himself to depend on, the bridges
behind him are cut off and necessity
rouses energies before dormant, not less
to his own than to the surprise of Ills old
friends. Like energy here would have
led to like success.
The whole matter lies in small com.
pass. Life is short. To enjoy life man
must be contented. To have content
ment o man must have health and food.
To have health he must he e the natural
advantages producing health, as good
climate water and air. To meet his
physical wants he must have food. In
Oconee ne have. all the natural health
producing elements and with labor an
ample supply for physical wants can be
made. This ought to give contentment

Grange Notes.

THE best thinkers on economic top
les seem to be more nearly unanimous
than ever before in the opinion that
cooperation is to be the ultimate solu-
ton of the industrial problems of our
day.
THE grange is watching every inter-
est of our farming people, and demand
ing and contending for, and in many
cases securing, the passage of such acts
as will tend to relieve farmers of much
of the unjust burden they have been
bearing.
THE grange is helping on the eleva-
ton of agriculture and agriculturists
South as well as North, and the ques-
tons of educational policy are being
discussed there the same as here. Ag-
riculture, the mechanic arts, manufac-
lures and commerce ought to attract to
themselves the best men and women OF
the land, because the foundation of all
prosperity is manual labor.

How to Destroy Ants.

For several years the ants have done
great damage in my garden, especially
in the flower department. They would
eat out the buds and destroy a large
portion of the flowers. This last spring
they began again worse than ever.
made search and found four large ant
hills-one in fower-bed in the garden,
and three varying from four to fifteen
feet from the garden. The ants were
covering every bud on the flowers, and
the question was how to get rid of them.
About six weeks ago took small Jumps
of undrained maple sugar and laid on
the hills, on which they commenced
work in earnest. After two days l
scattered a little Paris green on the
sugar and covered it with board to
keep off the rain, and when the lump
was gone put another in its place. AS
a result there is not an ant to be seen
on any flower or plant in my garden
and the same is free from the pests. ]
do not think used six ounces of sugar
or one-half a tea-spoonful of Paris
green in removing them. W.

Steam Cooking.

The steamer is kitchen utensil that
is not used enough, for many kinds of
food are better steamed than boiled
and the operation is better done in this
way. 1t is better to steam fish than to
boil it, and oysters are delicious when
cooked in this way. They are drained,
laid on plate and steamed for about
ten minutes, until they look white and
plump. The liquor is used for dress
ing, after beating and mixing with an
equal quantity of cream, the liquid be-
ing thickened with little corn-starch
If plum-cake is steamed for three hours
and then baked for an hour it is better
than when baked in the ordinary way.
Stale bread and biscuit can be rendered
as fresh as when new by steaming five
or six minutes. Do not let the con-
densed steam drop on the bread when
the cover is removed. Butter the bread
as it is removed and pile lightly on a
hot dish. Tough fowls are made as ten
der as chickens by steaming as long as
two hours or so if they are veterans
fill with stuffing of bread-crumbs, ETC..
before putting in the steamer A use
full size of steamer is one about twelve
inches high and fitting over an ordinary
iron pot. Steamers may be got small
enough to fit tea-kettle, or big enough
for several compartments. Things that
are steamed can not burn, and once over
pot of boiling water, the hurried
housekeeper may dismiss them from
her mind, only taking care that the fire
does not get so low as to let the water
cease boiling. This must not be done
for an instant.-Good Housekeeping.

The Grange a Necessity.

The necessity for the grange or some
kindred association devoted to the in
terests of the farmer is apparent.
United effort brings strength and
power, which, exercised and welded
with the wisdom and intelligence at
your command, can not fail to secure to
the farmer some measure of profit on
his products other than the greed of
the carrier. The people of the cities
and towns are not, and ought not to be
Indifferent to the welfare of the farmer.
The promotion of his interests always
affects beneficially the business inter
ests of the town. They are also inter
ested in the acquisition of the knowl-
edge by our farmer friends-especially
in public affairs-which the grange i'm
parts to those who come under its
influence. - Major Murphy, Salem,

NOME MAKES BIG EXCITEMENT IN
MAIDEN, MAss.-A twelve-year-old daugh-
ter of John Nicholson, 1856 Main street,
Maiden, has been as helpless as a baby for
long time, Her father finally gave up his
doctors and gave her this liquid nerve food,
" Moxie." Five bottles so fed the nerves of
her paralyzed limbs to strength she is
now a nice, romping, healthy girl. The
people of Maiden are much excited over 1t
and consider it the most wonderful thing
they ever saw. There is another case like
it at 10 Cross street, Lowell. General help
less paralysis-two years standing. Man
is now at hard, muscular labor. No wonder
the weak, nervous, tired-out, broken-up
women like it so we'll. The United States
courts have swept the country of limitations
and counterfehs. Moxie is probably the
most popular thing in the country to-day,
because II is harmless as well as useful. 1t
is said it will not cure paralysis caused by
effusion.

breathing-time of rest and quiet, One
such, tired housekeeper, who longed
for little change, one lovely summer
afternoon locked the doors of her house,
resolutely imprisoning within it the
watchfulness and calculations and cares
which are necessary for the successful
running of the domestic machinery,
and fed to the shores of Lake Cham
plain. 1t 80 happened that the par
ticular train which bore her away was
bound for that little group of pretty
cottages which makes up the archi-
tectural portion of Queen City Park.
Here she landed and for four precious
days she breathed the spicy balm of the
woods and the fresh breezes of the
lake. Sitting on the high bluff which
faces the west, she looked with de-
light which was never satisfied upon
the far-reaching landscape. At her
feet lay the blue waters of Shelburne
Bay, sheltered to the north by high
wooded bluff and enclosed on the south
and west by the lovely shores of Shell
burne Point. Looking beyond, far out
on the lake was seen Juniper Island
with its lighthouse, and Rock Dunder,
which in her youth was synonym for
steadfastness, but which is said to be
now fast crumbling away. Beyond all
rose the long chain of the blue Adj
rondacks, throwing their giant peaks
against the western sky. Once she
sailed away upon the lake, through the
clear air and under the brilliant sky of
perfect summer day, and, landing on
the western shore, threaded that won
derful miniature Yosemite, the chasm
through which rolls the Au Sable river.
Another day was filled with the utter
ances of men who had studied long
and thought deeply of the wandrous
mysteries surrounding us, penetrable
only to the eye of faith, and of the over
whelming pathos of human life. They
sought TO give the doubling a stronger
trust, comfort to the mourning and
light to the darkened SOUL And over
the speaker and vast audience bent the
blue sky, waved the green leaves,
poured the warm sunlight and softly
breathed the gentle west wind. In those
four days were stored away many de-
lightful memories, pictured panorama
that in many lonely hour will unroll
its treasures of life and light, throwing
over the present the rare brightness OF
those unforgotten days.
All day a fragrance rare
| Balsamic breath OF resinous fir and pine,
| Odor of leafy wood and trailing vine
Floats on the summer air.
Not like the oceans roar,
! But aoft as music when 1t fades away,
All night the pulsing waters of the bay
Beat on the pebbly shore.
| Morn breaks-the algiving sun
! Gilds with his earliest beams the mountains crest
Behind whose purple wall he sinks to rest
When the fair day is done.
Noon cones-the western breeze
| Sweeps onward DER the restless pillows bright
Bedecks them with their caps of foamy white
And dies among the trees.
Night falls-no damp, no chill,
The bamy air of evening folds us In
Like some light drapery soft and warm and thin;
Night falls-how calm, how still!

An Outing.
BY POLLY,

When we see the long trains of cars
bearing the pleasure seekers away from
their homes, and learn that watering
place and seaside are overlooking
with visitors, we naturally conclude our
whole population to be on the move.
But the fact is the great majority are
jewellers at home the year round, and
every day brings to them its tolls and
cares. Occasionally one of these busy
men or buster women slip for short
space their burdens, and go out from
the homely and familiar scenes of their
everyday duties and find little

COMPARISON SoLICITED.-A wise discrim-
ination should be exercised by all who take
medicine. The proprietors of Hoods Sarsa-
parila solicit careful comparison OF this
medicine with other headquarters and
medicines, being confident that the peculiar
merits of Hoods Sarsaparilla are so APP
parent that the people will unhesitatingly
prefer 1t to any other preparation. Hood 8
Sarsaparilla is not mixture OF molasses
and few inert roots and herbs, but it is a
peculiar concentrated extract of the best
Alternative and blood-purifying remedies OF
the vegetable kingdom. The enormous
sales OF Hoods Sarsaparilla and the won
derful cures effected prove even more than
has been claimed for this medicine. II you
are sick the best medicine is none too good.
Therefore take Hoods Sarsaparilla.
