That Appears to be the Condition
of Cotton in Middle Georgia.
Tennille Ga, Sept 15.-Tennille seems
to respond very readily to the stimulant
offered to trade by the Houses action on
the ilver-purchasing clause and great
things might be expected if the Senate
would only stop debating the matter and
consummate the plan outlined by the
President.
There are several cotton buyers here,
and as freight rates are in their favor,
Tennille seems to take the lead of
SandersVille as market. NOtwithstand
ing the weather has not been very favor
able for the picking of cotton, good
deal of cotton is being sold here.
AS a result of the damage
done by the storm and
continuous showers farmers are hay
ing to give as much as 80 cents per hun
bred for picking over that portion of their
farms that has not been gone over since
the storm.
! observed a lively contest over couple
of bales of silk cotton the other evening
Three or four local buyers wanted to
handle it, and bidding was spirited, the
contest resembling an auction. The cot
ton was sold for 9 1-l6 cents per pound.
The crop has been injured 20 or % per
cent. by the storm and subsequent rains,
which still continue. So much water
with but little sunshine is rotting the
burr before the cotton can burst it.
Tennille Institute opened under favora-
BILE auspices, with some so or 100 pupils in
attendance. Prof. McNaire seems to be
gaining the respect of the pupils.
Our town is blessed with ministers.
With the addition of T. j. Holmes. who is
to move in from the country soon, we will
have six white ministers, and some four
or five colOred.

Translated from the German.
A poor, feeble old man totters along the
road.
His back is deeply bent. as IL he carried an
invisible, heavy burden His eyes are vacant
and dead; life, pressed out of them. has re-
treated to its last haunt where it timidly. trem-
blingiy waits for death
And it is spring. Fresh green clothes far
around the earth; the air is full OF sunshine and
the song of the lark; along the road a pair of
butterflies fit from flower to flower
And spring has pity for the poor. feeble old
man. II sends him greeting. A merry bow
comes romping through the field and accom-
panies him.
Confidingly he takes his hand and strolls be-
side him. He begins to talk childish chatter,
He tells him of his parents. his brothers and
sisters of his plavthings his lessons Yes he
has been going to school since Easter, and A u
c he knows by heart,
Obtuse and without displaying any sympathy.
the old man trudges along. Absorbed In the
morose egotism of old age. he scarcely hears
what mis- companion saws. This world is for
him too distant. The way thither is SO far for
his weary feet
'But don't you know Ine?" asks the bow.
Suddenly and anxiously. inquiringly, he looks
up to the old man. Don't you know me?'
The old man turns his lifeless eyes upon the
boy. a long uneasy minute-sorrowfully he
shakes his head.
The boy stands in the road and looks softly.

alone continues on his way.
Poor old man, Spring sen. you your youth
