Ran a Paving Farm.

Mrs. Daniels and her daughter, two Georgia ladies living not far from Mill edgeville, are said to have made re- markable success as farmers. Three years ago they were almost destitute. A gentleman offered them the use of several acres of land at fairly easy rent, to be paid at the years end. He trusted to their honesty for the pay- ment, as they had no security to offer. The two women set to work with en- ergy. The mother took charge of the house and the daughter of the farm. ssMiss Daniel took an ax and went in to the woods and made a plow-stocl. from sassafras tree, broke little bull that was thrown in with the land, and planted and raised the begt ten acres of. cotton and corn. that were raised in Baldwin county.''l They paid their rent promptly the first year.

Big Railway Men.

The New York Sun delights to tell about the superior abilities of certain men, as shown by the success attained by the enterprises of which they are the heads. It does this always when it wants to prove that the present system is all right, and that the poor are poor because they are the unfttest. Gould and Van- derbilt are The Suns favorite examples. Railroad President Stickney disagrees with The Sun. He says that the railroad magnatas have been made by the rail ways and not the opposite, as is so often claimed, and MT. Stickney proves in his book what he says.
