Avaluable. Invention.

a North Cafolinian, native of
Madison county has come to the
front with an invention at once USE
ful and popular. Mr.. N. X. Mclean
now of Marshall has an application
on Gle in the Patent Office for pro=
cess by which straight grained
woods can be converted irto the
most beautiful "aowery" wood as
the experts call it, producing a per-
feet Imitation of the natural curl so
much admired and sought after by
furniture workers and interior dec
orators. The. process changes the
texture of the wood and alters
the disposition of the fibre to the
thickness of about a quarter of an
inch, to that depth making curl
similar TO that made by nature.
The process is only practically ap-
plieable to- veneering.
Nc Lean has also invented a
Tao Ta be. u Ia veneering spec
sfdfi51 IfdaItetI % his process of the
artificial curl.
The invention of the artificial
curl has been tested to perfect satis-
faction and will revolutionize the
process in which eurled wood is
used.

W. NJ. Cooper at Home.

Some eight years ago Mr.. w. M.
E Cooper, formerly of Transylvania
county. then residing in Arkansas,
had difficulty with a man in the
Indian Territory which resulted in
death of the other party. Mr..
Cooper was tried in the federal court
and sentenced to life imprisonment.
His relatives, notably Mr.. NJ. D.
Cooper of Brevard, have exerted
themselves to secure his pardon.
Mr.. Nj. d. Cooper now writes us
from Brevard:
my brother, w. NJ. Cooper,
reached our home on Saturday.
You remember that he was confined
in the house of correction at Detroit,
Mich, for the past eight years. He
was pardoned by President CleYe-
land.
After a thorough investigation OF
all the facts in the case as they
were presented to him by our Tom
Johnston and By other active
friends, the President became thor
oughly satisfied that executive
clemency should be exercised. He
comes back to us considerably re-
duced in health, but we hope that
sunshine and liberty will do much
towards RESTORING him.

Faithful Unto Death.

A touching instance of canine af-
fection has just been called to our
attention. Col. John A. Fagg. who
died not long since, was the possess
sor of two dogs. terriers, a male and
female. Confined to the house al
most continuously by the infrmities
of his latter years, the dogs became
his constant companions; and re-
spensive to the care lavished upon
them, they reeiprocated the attach
ment of their owner in renIarba-
BILE degree They rarely left his
side, and their being was wrapped
in his. In doors and out of doors,
they were always with him; and
when occasion called him away, to
visit any one of his children, they
were unhappy until his return.
But during his absence, though
miserable, they manifested very
clearly the expectationlo lof his return,
impatient, but waiting in or about
the house: until they were made
happy again.
It was not so when Col. Fagg
died. Then they knew and felt that
great calamity had befallen them.
Something had happened of which
they had had no previous experts
ence They searched with
means from room to room tor
the one they no longer saw: they
wandered through the premises
with such expression of sorrow as
directed attention to their moves
ments; and when that which they
sought was not to be found, they
wandered off, a thing they never did
hbefore, Sometimes they went to the
residence of Capt. NJ. ]. Fagg;
sometimes to those of other mems
bers Of the family; but they never
returned, except for brief stay to
their old home. AT last, the female,
whose evidence of grief was more
distinct, found her way, 10 one
knows how, to the cemetery, a dis
tance of more than mile from Col.
Fagg's house, and to that place she
returned every day for weeks, max
ing her resting place upon the grave
of her master; in the meantime re
fusing all food and repelling all
earesses. A day or two ago she
died, emaciated, consumed by grief,
and as true an illustration of a
broken heart as was ever given by
humanity.

"The busiest place in Georgia is,

Why Did Not We Think of It Be
fore?
Progress in things which affect
the comfort and happines of NOR
tails is sometimes brought most
distinctly before us. where the
metter is seemingly trivial.
What suggests the foregoing is
the improvement noticed in our
city in the matter of closing
places of business every day ex=
cept Saturday at 7:3O or about an
hour earlier than hitherto. It
really incommodes ne shopper,
merely necessitating makingione's
purchases a little earlier; while
the breathing spell of few min
utes of day light each afternoon
to large class of hard worked
and closely confined citizens is
undeniably a boon richly de-
served, and q privilege which
will prove of decided benefit to
health.

had in operation for many years,
only with still shorter hours. So
that the custom of shopping later

into Finnocuous desuetude." It
is even within the recollection
of the editors when wholesale
houses in the large cities kept
their doors open until after ten at
night in the dull season-think
of it! s
AS we said, "Why didn't we
think of it before? For the very
general observance of the early
closing hours proves that glad
concurrence was only latent,
waiting for the suggestion and

Parties frequently have advertise

All parties may expect to pay full tran
