MR. EDIroR.-Your very efficient CORES
pondent "Seaton' has left Jsnssville, and
gono to our neighboring town, Paeolst, SO
will try and give the TINES some Of the
news of our town and community.
But little has been done yet by the farm
ers, as the weather and roads have both
been bad for farm work. see some oot-
ton yet in the field, but think most of the
cotton has been marketed, and the money
gone somewhere.
The Rev. c. r. Willeford has moved from
our town to Santuc, as most Of his work is
near that place. Mr.. Willeford Was with us
two years as a minister, and Was very much
liked by all the people. He also brought
10 . better-half last Fall, which was coed
addition to eur town; SO we regret very
much to give them up. santuo will knd in
them social, enterprising young couple.
Miss Florence Boyd, daughter Of Rev.
D. P. Boyd, has been greatly afflicted for
some time. She has been In bed over nine
woeks, with but little or mo improvement
yet. The family certainly deserve the
prayers and sympathy Of the community.
Our school, under the superior manage
msnt Of Mr.. Joseph Vsnable, with Board
Of eight Trustees to back him, is doing we'll,
numbering about sixty scholars, several Of
whom are grswn young men Aand young
ladies. Miss Lizzie Venabls, q daughter of
the Principal, is prepared to give music, in
18th fha dov kL>u
wise, and as board can be obtained in NEST
Of the families Of our town on very reason
able terms, with tuition very low, we hope
and expect to build up one Of the best
schools in the osuntry. To this end We
invite patronage.
Mr. Sam Littlejohn and q commercial
traveller by the name Of Berry, had little
unpleasaniness in our town last week. 1t
seems that they thought their proceedings
were ugly and desisted. Sam had con-
sidsrably the avoirdupois on the drummer,
but whether he wsuld have come out in
the Same ratio or not rsmsins yet to be
solved, As they did not proceed far enough
to decide that question.
Mr.. Il. W. Scott has been appointed by
the Governor Trial Justice. Wat says he
is going to make everybody pay their debts
and marry oil tho young folks that will give
him . chance.
By the way, l read the extract Of the late
Trial Justice law Tor Union County in your
last weeks issue. Now Amt IL retrsnsh-
ment with vengeance.
Our law makers, or maj ority Of them,
are willing to give our circuit Judge thirty
Ave hundred dollars a year, while they
whittls down the salaries Of eleven Trial
Justices for Union county 10 Two hundred
and seventy Eve dollars. don't like to
use slang, but must say, aia't that claw
upon knot.

Who HAVE Cor THE MoNsr.-rhe

lanta Constitution presents q truly dismaI
picture Of the condition Of the farmers OF
Georgia, vhe have "msde nearly oce
thousand million dollars wsrth Of cotton
since 1866" but who, there 10 every reassn
to believe, are growing poorer steadily,
while, out Of the enormous wealth they
have created, others have been growing
richer. The Conshtution is satisfied that
"there. is something wrong, and we'll il
may be when it states that it is estimated
that ons-third Of the farms in Georgia are
under mortgage, and the farmers Of the
State are paying about $4,000, 900 annually
as interest to absentee mortgage holders.
The Constitution says truly that there is no
cause for the depression in either the soil
or the climate Of the State, and adds:
"We shall bend our energies to hnd out
just where the trouble lies. 1t may be 10
the pitching of the crops, or in tho lack Of
near markets, farm economy or personal
supervision. 1t may rest in tho relation Of
the farmer to the State or National Govern
ment. II may rest in the relation Of the
farmer TO the merchant or to the railroads.
Wherever 1t is, the Constitution is going to
find it ifit can be found"

braces in this weeks report the sales Of

The extremely bad roads and wet weather

TAKING THB BARK OYr.--A reporter for
the Ne1s and Courier asked DR.. c. F. Pank.
min Thursday if there were any new devel-
opments in tho all-engrossing question Of
ramie culture aud deeorticatisn.
DR.. Panknin said that he had nothing
new for the press concerning his discovery
and that no CONTRACT had yet been made with
the company In New York fer manufactur-
ing the plant by the new process, though
the matter had progressed veay satisfao-
torily.
"But," said he, "I have been surprised
to learn the extent Of ramie culture in the
South, started probably some years ago
when the newspapers got up IN excitement
over the opportunity FOR new Southern
staple, and dropped, when the planters
found that there was no such process as
mine for decorticsting the fibre at pay
ing price. From . number Of letters, re-
ceived since the notice Of my discovery in
the Ne,os and Courier will mention three"
"Mr. r: s. Mayrant, of Columbia,
writes me that he has an acre and q half
planted in ramie, and that he con supply
zoo, 900 roots next spring.
"Mr. BrAdish johnson, Of New Orleans
writes that he has i've asrss Of his planta.
tion covered with ramie.
"Mr. Felix Fremsrie, of Brunswick, Gs ..
writes that he can supply the trade with
frsm 10000 to $4,000 roots.
"Ramie," continued DR.. PankAin, "san
be grown from seed and cuttings, but like
asparagus, grows much better from roots.
1t spreads over the folds without cultivs-
tion very much like artichokes. The roots
are worth about $l0 per thousand.
II have asked Mr.. Meyrant for some
rsmie stalks, and As sson as they come 1
will deeorticsts them by my process and
leave specimens Of the blsached and uu-
bleached 6bro at the News and Courier Of
fce."

The lake is about half mile in in eircum-

With steady blsze six inches in height. No

suggested, the most plausible Of which il
that vein Of oil near the surface burst un-
der the pond and the oil rose to the surface
whore It was set on fire bys spark from .
burning heap, and that as tho oil continues
to rise 1t keeps burning upon the surface.

streets were so narrow that, although nobody

spite of being 'fireproof," ancient Rome was
remarkable for stupendous confagrations.
Some were willfully caused, as when Nero
burned the city in order to rebuild it on a
better plan, but accidental fires occurred fire.
