A Good Mill.

We desire to call attention to the ad-
vertisement of Dominick & Lovelace,
in this issue. If you have corn to

along. They have an experienced
miller in charge, and always keep meal
and grist on hand to exchange with
you if you have only Il small turn.

Paper doors are coming into use, and
are claimed to possess many advantages
over wooden ones. They do not shrink,
swell, crack or warp. Two thick paper
boards are stamped or moulded into
panels, glued together AID rolled
through heavy rollers, after which they
receive first waterproof an then a
tire-proof coating. They are then
painted, vanished and hung in the
uSllal manner.

The Texas Pony Sale,

The McCafferty Bros. sold car load
of Texas ponies at this place last Satur-
day. There was good attendance and
the ponies sold readily. Some Of the
purchasers had rich experiences in get
ting their ponies home and breaking
them. Lawyer Culbreath bought one
and had his geared to the wagon on
Tuesday; Mr.. T. J. Maffett purchased
one and he was in the city on Tuesday
and said he had his in the stable but
could not get her out. Mr. McCafferty
knows how tosell horses. He advertises
and gets The crowd and then he knows
how to get them buy his horses.
The Texas ponies averaged about S55
piece. The purchasers, so far as we
have been able to learn, are we'll pleased
with their ponies. The McCafferty
Bros. will bring another car load here.

An 0ld-Time Virgins.

Among my first recollections was
seeing my mother take down copy of
Grier's almanac, which was suspended
by a string to the mantle-piece, to see
about the changes of the moon. Rob-
ert Grier, the maker of this wonderful
almanac, was very plain man, who
lived and died years ago in Butts
county. During his life he made the
calculations for the almanacs, and al
most every family in Georgia at least
had copy of this almanac and relied
on it for much valuable information.
He pretended to tell when it would
rain and many other things. He was
considered wonderful man. Although
he has been dead many years, Grier's
almanac still lives. After his death
the calculations were made by Thomas
p. Ashmore until he failed, and now
they are made by his nephew, Professor
Otis Ashmore, one of the most intelli-
gent educators in Georgia. Once, it is
said, Mr.. Grier was riding along the
road, when he came to where a boy
was holding calf by the ears while
his mother MIXED the COW. He rode
up to make some inquiries about the
road. He addressed the boy and said:
My son, can't you open that gate for
me so can go nearer way through the
plantation" EYES," said the boy,
"if you will get down and hold the
calf; and if you don't mind you will get
good wetting before you go far"
Mr.. Grier rode off and opened the gate
himself, giving but little heed to what
the lad said, for he looked above and
saw no sign of rain. He rode on for
several miles, and true enough the
clouds began to gather, and soon it was
pouring down rain, so that Mr.. Grier
soon became thoroughly drenched.
He was so anxious to know the weather
sign that he rode back to inquire of the
boy how he knew so well it was going
to rain. He wanted TO secure so i'm
portant weather sign. He found the
boy and said: "My son, III give you a
silver half-dollar if you will tell me how
you knew it was going to rain" The
little fellow promptly replied: Dads
got one of old Grier's almanacs; he
said it was not going to rain, and he
is such an old liar about the weather
knew it would rain" He had no idea
he was addressing the old gentleman
himself. Mr.. Grier paid him the half
dollar and rode off, amused at the poor
opinion the boy had of him as an al
manac-maker Wesleyan Christian Ad-
rOCdte

Oaks or Bean-Stalks.

/ have read with much interest the
various opinions expressed in our paper
upon woman's rights and wrongs. l
used to believe in "the vine and the
oak" ETC.; but alas for the poor vine!
When she finds that she has no oak to
cling to, but instead must herself be
not an oak-oh, no!-but rather beam
pole, which must furnish the support,
and in return be content to lose all her
individuality-be completely absorbed
in the personality of the powerful beam
stalk. l don't mean to be unreasonable,
and know there are men who are willing
to grant to their wives as much as they
ask Of them. l know, too, that there
are men who expect their wives (f they
dare to speak at alD to be simply an
echo of their opinions. Such men, it
is needless to say, do not regard woman
as their equal; she is only fitted to stay
at home and do the work for her family
(of five or six, or more). She may, how
ever, take in ,Cashing, or sewing, or some
other light work, to buy herself and
her children needful clothing. OF course
if she should have a little money, and he
wants it, he has right to take it, for
is he not her lord and master? / admit
that vine and oak is very pretty smile,
but as the oak is so often lacking, let us
train ourselves (and our daughters) to
stand upright, if il is only as a slender
poplar, rather than sprawl helpless
vine upon the ground.

used up three dozen pairs a week, and
she never wore any stockings that had
been washed nor donned more than
once the same pair of gloves or shoes.
The lace frills of her chemises cost SO
apiece. Every three months she ex-
changed her diamonds and other Jewels,
or had them newly set, according to
the mutations of fashion, and four
times year her plate, china, fur
niture, tapestry hangings and car
pets were renewed. She had thirty-six
horses in her private stable, and her
master of the horse was empowered to
dispose of twelve steeds once a month
and replace them by animals of fash
ionable hue. Once a month, too, all
the domestics in Josephine's household
received fresh liveries, and every thirty
days her wardrobe was divided among
her maids of honor. OF these toilets
the court lady had four, with an equal
number of sets of jewelry-one for the
Tuilleries, one for st. Cloud, one for
Malmaison and one for travelling. BY
touching certain springs she could COM
mand for her bath what perfumes her
caprice required to mix with the water,
the reservoirs always containing twelve
thousand francs worth of the finest
odors. BY touching other springs
whole gallery of pictures and prints of
gay and vivacious character made its
appearance, and when she wished to
leave her bath she had but to touch
bell, when, by mechanical contriv-
ance, she was lifted into an elegant,
acknowledgement and perfumed bed,
where she was nicely dried Then by
another mechanical continuance she
was lifted to splendid elastic sofa,
which glided into the adjoining boudoir.

The Queen and the Laird.

While in Perthshire recently Queen
Victoria requested an old Highland
laird to visit her, and when he did so
very graciously received him, thanked
him for coming, and then explained
why she wished to see him. &C. should
like to know" she said, the exact
spot where the Pretender landed,
and" she was allowed to proceed no
further. Instantly the old chief laid
his hand on her shoulder, saying, He
was no pretender, madam; he was our
king" 81 beg your pardon" said the
queen, kindly; :" ought not to have
used that word. l should have said
Prince Charles Edward" Then, by
way of humoring the gruff old Jacobite,
she added, " You know that too have
Stuart blood in my veins" Yes,
know it," was the reply, 90 and were it
not for that you would not be where
you are" This plain speaking, which
rather startled her retinue, did not dis
please the queen; on the contrary, she
was amused at it and seemed to like it,
and it reused her interest in her I'M
cOurtly hammered subject, and her way
of taking it went to his heart and I'M
bent and softened his stern spirit
They talked long together and they
parted like old friends. On the queens
return to the castle where she was stay
ing she said to her host, " have just
met one of the most honest men in my
realm

"DethrOning Shakespeare"

a Shrewsbury correspondent of the
London Telegraph says: 6 In this dis
cussion has sufficient point been made
mate of his contemporaries? His was
an age of literary prodigies. AS Mr..
Matthew Arnold says, quoting Goethe,
he is truly seen when seen among the
hills of his Riesen-Heimath, his giant
home among them, though towering
high above them 1t was the age of
Ben Johnson, of Marlowe, of Beaumont
and Fletcher, of Massinger and Ford.
AS early as 1896 Meres speaks of
Shakespeare as being among the En-
glish the most excellent in both kinds
(tragedy and comedy for the stage
Gabriel Hervey, in 1898, wrote, The
younger sort take much delight in
Shakespeare "Venus and Adonis,"
but his g Lucrece" and " Hamlet, Prince
of Denmark have it in them to please
the wiser Sort Barnsfield, the Shrop-
shire poet, in the same year confessed
the charm of Shakespeare's honey
flowing vein,' and asserted that Venus
and Adonis had placed Shakespeare's
name in fame's immortal book Davies
of Hereford called him Good Will ,

Droeshout portrait, in the first folio,
are too well known to need repetition
here. AT any rate, Shakespeare seems
to have been believed in and honored
by his contemporary poets and play
writes, and reference to DR.. Ingleby's
book will show also that he lived, as
Charles Knight said, in the heart of
the people, 1t appears to me that
there is just as much ground for at
tributing the plays of Fletcher or
Massinger to the Earl of Essex or to
Sir Walter Raleigh, or the works of
Marlowe and Ben johnson to Sir Philip
Sidney, as there is for claiming Shake
speare's plays as the work of that great
prosdte,r, Sir Francis Bacon, Lord
Verulam and Viscount st. Adams; and
that there is no more reason for believ-
ing either hypothesis than there is for
assuming that any of Robert Burns
aristocratic patrons wrote Tam o. Shan
ter or The Cotter's Saturday Night. "
