The old Arab ~geographers describe q
way of taking fish from the waters of
the Rcd sea which must have been
convenient for the people of that re-
gion, if it were not very ingenious.
The people supply themselves from
the sea without craft, or without
standing upon the shore. They use,
while swimming OF diving, little nets,
which they themselves make of woven
grass.
They tic these to their feet, and by
slip knots and lashings held in their
hands, they draw fast the snare when
they feel that q fish has entered it. All
this they do with exceeding art, and
with a cunning bred by long expert
once, They also teach land reptiles to
drive their prey.-Youth's Compan-

Years aeone, In my days Of youth,

HIS head is gray and bald;
And sometimes ! half forget me

But had a handsome Ioveri
A bold. bad woman am II
How could ! resist his sweet sweet kiss
Or help u my heart leap high
When his strong young arms enfoid me,
His red checks laid TO mine,
And my soul Is drunk with loving
As men are drunk with winef
My husband leans DER my shoulder.

And slip my own In It.
This handsome and gay young lover
As well his heart has won;
And We worship him together.
For my lover Is my son.

About Character.

Nothing can be more certain than
that the character a be sustained and
strengthened only by its own ener>
getic action. The will, which is the
central force of character, must be
trained to habits of decisions; other
wise it will be able neither to resist
evil nor TO follow good. Decision gives
the power of standing firmly, when
to yield, however slightly, might be
only the first step in adownhill course
to ruin.-Once n Week.

We would call your attention to

ahead towns on your line of road.
We have been for years buying
our tickets and getting freight at
an apology Tor pot that would
be disgrace to the smallest station
on your line. We have waited
patiently, only hoping that some
day you would become ashamed of
the structure and meet the demands
ofour growing city, and that you
would no longer force a $500 de-
pot on city of 5000 people. But
now patience ceases to be a virtue
you would probably let us 90 on
another year and almost double our
population before you would erect
building suitable for this town.
But we can't do il.
The depot that we Low have is a
reflection upon and an injury to
our town, and re should have a
handsomer and more modern struc-
ture. Our people demand it, and
our prosperity requires it.
tome, gentlemen Of tie Central,
act decentIy with us, tear down
that old hull and erect, in its stead,
a handsome brick depot that would
do credit to the city of Dawson
and to your corporation.

The Alliances EKchage.

1t begins to look, says the Sa.
vanah News, as if the Farmers Al
lance of Georgia would succeed in
establishing the exchange of which
there has been great deal of talk
lately. Mr.. Felix Corrupt, the
managerofthe projected enterprise
says that III re is no doubt tia it
will be in operation at an early day.
Tie city in which it is to be situa.
tel has not been selected. 1t will
not be until 1t is FULLY decided
which of the cities Of the state Of
fers the greatest inducements. The
alliance thinks that the city that is
chosen viii be realty benefited, be~
cause the exchange will draw trade
to it. IL is expected, therefore,
that each city will be a bidder for
the exchange.
The capital of the exchange viii
be 1000, which will be turnish-
ed by the county alliances, and the
exchange will be opened for bust
hess when $4,000 is paid in.
About SO, 900 has been received
thus far, and no doubt is ielt that
the entire a mount will soon be
forthcoming.
The plan now is for the exchange,
in the beginning, to handle only
the heaviest articles. The lighter
ones will be given attention when
the exchange is no longer an exA
pertinent, and its value 10 the far.
mers has been fully demonstra>
ted.
Mr.. Corrupt says that there is no
intention to interfere with the mer-
chants. Farmers will be advised
to deal with the merchants when
they can do as well with them as
with the exchange. The effort of
the, exchange he says, however,
will be to keep down prices.
Notwithstanding the statement
that there is no Intention to inter-
fere with the merchants, it will be
difficult, if not impossible, for the
merchants to compete With the ex-
change in articles which the ex>
change handles. 1t is the purpose
of the exchange to sell at cost prices,
with freights and expenses of
handling added. Merchants must
have some profit, and as they would
not order in as large lots as the ex
change, they could not buy as cheap
iy as the exchange. Ifthe exchlnge
is operated successfully, therefore,
it Will have the advantage Of the
II erchants.

A Few Words of SoberneSs.

- WIN VI WV a. ~ Az 1(sb L a.
ham OF Warren county carried to
the town of Warrenton eighteen
hams, and sold them for Gosh.
Many OF the farmers have heard of
this isolated instance and wondered
at it. 1t was such an extraordina-
ry performance that it created a
perfect eXcitment all over the
State.
Why? Isn't it the main element
of the farmers occupation to live
On what he digs outot the earth and
tattens on the produce? What
greater irony than that man who
theoretically feeds the people, for
their money, should buy the very
things he is supposed to raise? A
farmer buying cotton or potatoes or
hay is no worse thar one who mort.
cages his crop for corn and meat.
What would be thought of a cot
ton goods manufacturer who bought
the goods already made for SIX
cents and sold them fur? Yet,
where is the difference =? There is
none.
The economy of Providence is
that the farmer shall get what he
eats and wears out of the earth
he tills and furnishes the surplus
to those who are in other occupa,
tio2s. Nature provides that far
mers shall feed the world-yet it
looks like the world feeds farmers
and grows rich on the profits of
the bargain. As it is, merchants
force farmers to pay their own
prices for the food which by every
law of pro luction and consumption
and common sense the farmers
ought to force merchants to pay
their own prices.
The condition of affairs is ah-
surdly abnormal. The absuldity
may be remedied by the farmers
themselves.
1t will be proud day tor any
county when it is annoucncd that
Sweet, fresh country hams are tor
sole to the city trade.
When the time comes that it will
he a matter of surprise when coun-
try wagon carries out eat instead
of bringing it in, then the just bal
ance will be reached, and not till
then.
The year OF $50 gives evidence all
overthe state a more emphatic earns
est of a revolution along this line
than for years past.
Mighty influences are at work.
great brains and honest hearts are
earnestly laboring. The future we
believe is brighter than in years.
Hot est hearts and ready hands.
and determined minds will do won,
ders for the southland, and some
day We trust we will have, instead
of annual funeral orations over the
decaying agricultural interest OF
Georgia, the carrying together of
prosperous communities; instead
Of heavy hearts and care worn

tentment.

Let our Commissioners Read.

The supreme court OF Georgia
rendered a decision the other day
which should receive the careful
attention of county commissioners
aud other officers whose duty it is
to let out contracts FOR building
bridges. The court decided that
where the officers failed to take
sufficient guaranty from the con
tractors, and any party was injur>
ed owing to defect in the bridge
built by them, the injured party
could sue either the contractors or
the county. The decision, no
