WILL LIVE AT HOME.

1t is gratifying to learn that the
farmers of the South are in better
condition than they have been at
any time since the war. While they
are not, as rule, burdened with a
cash surplus, they are nearer out of
debt and are fast learning the i'm
portant lesson of raising their own
supplies, instead of keeping their
grain cribs and smokehouses in the
North and West. Moreover, the
hard times have given them practi
cal hints in economy which have
been utilized to their benefit. Pros
porous farmers will tend to general
prosperity and the present condf-
tion of Southern tillers of the soil is
a happy augury for all classes of
business in the South. Pertinent to
this subject, the Atlanta Constitu-
tion says:
"The Georgia farmer has been
practicing economy during the hard
times; he is not as heavily in debt as
heretofore, and the close of the crop
season finds him in comparatively
easy circumstances, with the promise
of well-filled barns and the prospect
of independence in the coming year.
The majority of the men who till the
soil laid their plans well at the be-
ginning of the seasons they planted
more corn; they gave more attention
to stock raising; they lived hard and
worked hard; they saved where once
they had squandered, and it goes
without saying that they will reap a
rich reward from their honest toll
and self-sacrifice. Not SO much
money is going out of their pockets
now to the North and West for arti-
cles that they can produce at home;
they are cutting down expenses, they
are economizing in little things
utilizing their timber and their soil
for all they are worth"

SUING FOR HER PROPERTY.
Edward II. Poindexter, Hanged for
Murder, Left an Estate
in Trust.

Amsterdam, N. Y, Dec. 19.-J. e..
Mason of West Charlton, Saratoga coun-
ty. has commenced legal proceedings for
the recovery of a large amount of money
and property to which he claims his wife,
Jane Mason, is entitled. Mrs. Mason was
the daughter of Edward III. Poindexter,
who was hanged under the alias of Ed
ward Earle, for the murder at Sageville,
Hamilton county, on October IA, 1881,
of his wife, the mother of Mrs Mason.
His daughter Jane was six years of age
She is now IS years old and was mar
ried recently to Mason.
PolndeNter was a member of a wealthy
Virginia family and was very reticent
after his conviction in imparting infor-
nation regarding his family or early life,
claiming that he did not wish to bring
disgrace upon his relatives. He made
some reference to his early career in a
confession, which was printed and sold
from the steps of the gallows on which
he was hanged. He also left a letter in
charge of Alonzo Andrews of Worthwhile,
Fulton county. He charged Andrews
to deliver the letter when the daughter
became of age or when she married. In
addition the condemned man left consid-
cradle property, it is claimed, in charge
Of Andrews under the same conditions
Mason says that Andrews now refuses to
deliver the letter or property. He is of
the opinion that the letter contains val
ia bic information in regard to POindeX-
ter's early life and his relatives in Vir-
GINA, where he believes a large estate is
located to which his wife is entitled.
