The Unusually Warm Weather Con-
sidered a Serious Matter.
TOWNSVILLE, GA, Feb The unu-
sualIy dry and warm weather is becoming
a really serious matter in this section.
Many pear and peach trees are ia full
bloom, and the pear orchards are getting
white. This is very important crop, and
is now in danger of total ruin. II the warm
weather should continue sufficiently lon g
for the trees TO leaf out fully, the crop may
not be lost, even if a freeze should follow.
The spring Of 1883 brought both white
frosts and ice after the young pears had
appeared; still they were pro .ected by the
dense foliage of these exuberant trees, and
a good crop was gatae ell.
The ground is so hard that no blowing
can be done, aud corn land remains UMPIRE
pared. Many curious features of this warm
winter could be mentioned. Hot house
plants are blooming in the yards, rnulber
ries are nearly grown, and strawberries are
becoming a drug on the market. The
writer saw a dozen blue birds in bathing
yesterday. The birds are nesting, and J.
Il. Adams discovered moaning doves nest
this week with eggs in it; and yet there are
no indications whatever of either rain or
cold weather

MOrgan's Color Bearer.

A recent dispatch from Flemings- burg, Ky, says: At the residence of James w. Overley, at Clover Hill, this county, the marriage of William Bowen and Miss Maggie Kyne was solemnized this afternoon by the Rev. D. w. Robertson, of Falmouth, after which the happy couple left on an extended trip through the Southern States. This occasion recalls the numerous raids made by Gen. John Morgan and his band during the late war, in which command the groom was widely known as the barefooted color bearer.
 When Morgan formed his famous company at Lexington in 1861 a long and lanky country youth enlisted and was intrusted with the colors of the command, which he never parted with until his commander was killed at Greenville, Tenn. The sobriquet of the "barefooted color bearer" was given him because he never could be induced to wear shoes, although Gen. Basil w. Duke, who always took an interest in him, had on many occasions offered to supply him with the finest of patent feathers.

A Dogs Affection and Intelligence.

A family living ill Detroit have re- gently removed to a new house built for them on one of the avenues. It is a handsome building of the modern decorative class, and every member of the family is delighted with the change out of the old house into the new. All but one. There is pet dog in the household that was owned by little girl who died. This dog has several times exhibited an almost human intel liyence. When his little playmate, who had raised him and played with him all the eight years of his life, died he refused to be comforted, and went round to the neighbors and visited every place where she was in the habit of going, showing at the same time every evidence of his love and sorrow.
 Now he returns to the old home, sits on it's deserted threshold and will not leave it until driven away by hun ger. The splendor of his new sur roundings have no charm for him, and he persists in being an unhappy and home-sick dog.

 Don't carry 8 pocketbook in very loose pocket which hangs away from the person.
 Don't lay your handbag, containing your pocketbook, on the counter of a store while you walk across the room to examine goods.

The Hottest Spot on Earth.

The hottest region on earth is on tho southwestern coast of Persia, where Persia borders the gulf of the same name. For forty consecutive days in the months of July and August the thermometer has been known not to fall lower than 100 degrees night or day, and to often run up as high as 128 degrees in the afternoon. At Bahrin, in the centre of the torrid part of tho torrid belt, as though it were natures intention to make the region as unbear- able as possible, no water can be ob- tained from digging wells 100, 200, and even 500 feet deep, yet a compara- lively numerous population contrive to live there, thanks to copious springs which break from the bottom of the gulf more than 8 mile from shore. The water from these springs is ob- tained by divers, who dive to the bot tom and fill goatskin bags with the cooling liquid and sell it for living. The source of these submarine fount- aims is thought to be in the green hill of Osman, some 500 or 600 miles away.

Where Marriage is a Total Failure.

During the recent term of the Fed eral Court in Paris, Tex, Judge Board man decided that the marriages of non- citizens in the Indian Territory was in- valid. This has caused considerable commotion along the borders, and is making elopements to that Gretna Green very rare.
 Last spring James Stump and Eliza Manning of this county went to the Choctaw Nation and were married. On reading Judge Boardman's decision they concluded that it might preclude complications by marrying in this state, so license was obtained, and today they were made man and wife accord ing to the laws of Texas, after living together as such for eight months un- der the impression that they were law fully married. Hundreds of others will follow this couples example.
 Judge Boardman's decision is gen. orally endorsed, especially by fathers with daughters of romantic turn of mind.-Denver Republican.

The Chinese Ministers Wife,

There is rumor that the wife of the Chinese Minister will be seen in society before the season wanes. One of the secretaries is responsible for this surprise. The little lady has dis played great interest in the doings of the West End as detailed to her by the attaches of the legation but for her to attend parties, etc., would be an af- fair of considerable trouble, since her feet are totally inadequate to support her body, slight as she is, and the spectacle of seeing her assisted by her husband and the big, brawny first sec retary, up and down drawing-room, would not be an edifying tribute to the polite customs of the Chinese Baltimore Sun.

Example,,

People appear to think that, while good manners should be strenuously exacted from children, precept in this connection may stand instead of ex- ample, and that orders may be given them and remarks made upon them as if they were devoid of natural feelings and perceptions. AS matter of fact, if, when people want children to do something for them, they would ask it in the same way in which they would address an equal, if they would thank them for little services rendered, speak to them gently, answer their reason able questions civilly, and avoid un- necessary comments upon their ap- pearance, they would have far less trouble in teaching them to behave with like consideration for others.

They Must Have Aged Rapidly.

Of the innumerable incidents of the war, not very many occurred in the prosaic business of Investigating gov ernment contracts. Yet even here 8 spark of humor sometimes shone out.
 In the matter of large purchase of horses, which on their arrival at the supply depot had been condemned, says the Boston Journal, member of Congress, who was friend of the im- plicated official argued earnestly that the horses were all right when they had left the place where they were bought, and that they must have been rendered unfit for service solely by the long journey to the supply depot. MT. Dawes, of the Investigating Commit tee, who was conducting the examina- ton, inquired, with queer twinkle in his eyes:
 "How long time did the journey oc- cupy?"
 "I don't know exactly but a good while."
 "Weu," said MT. Dawes, ssabout how many years, say?"
 "How many years? What do you mean by such a question as that?"
 "Why, you say the horses were sound and young when they started and became unfit for service during the journey. It must have taken long time, because nearly the whole lot were condemned for being over 21 years old ''

A Good Shooting Ground.

One of the best shooting territories in this country east of the Rocky Mountains is found in and near the Okifnokee Swamp, which covers a large area in Charlton, Ware and Clinch counties, Georgia, and Baker county, Florida. It ltincludes numerous lakes, the haunt of wild fowl, and forests of timber, the abode of large and small game ill great profusion. The sportsmen who go there should equip themselves with heavy leather thigh boots as protection against the attacks of moccasins and rattlesnakes. From the abundance of game found in the Okifinokee, these, it would ap- pear, are the most effective form of game warden. A point so easily ac- cessible by rail has retained it's prolific ness as game preserver only through the terror with which the average man regards . venomous snake.
