corn year ever known, and the season
is now so far advanced, according to
a contemporary, as to reduce thj
chances of disaster to a minimum. In
1891 we raised the greatest corn crop
ever grown, but we are going to rem
der it insignificant this year. In 1891
corn covered 76,2Ol,0 900 acres aud
yielded an average OF twenty
bushels to the acre. This year the
corn fields amount to S2,304, 900
acres, or 5000, 600 more tnan in 1891,
and all reports indicate a larger yield
per acre than in that year. But at the

RnhY In n Ten.Inch Well

The eighteen-months-old child of
Bill Gee, farmer living near Tiger.
town, had terrible experience on
Tuesday evening, says the Galveston
News. A ten-inch bored we'll had just
reached depth of twenty-nine feet,
being near the house, when the little
one went out alone to investigate.
Somehow he managed to fall in feet
first and was impaled upon the end of
the boring machinery, part of which
was yet in the well. The frantic
mother was witness to the horror
and Immediately gave the alarm. The
child could not be gotten out OF the
hole, so the neighbors were all sum
moned and some eighty of them went
to work digging a great square hole
near the we'll. This being completed
to IL depth on level with the child,
tunnel was made from the hole to the
we'll and the child rescued after being
in its perilous condition twenty-three
hours. Its plaintive cries, mamma !
mamma, come take me out !" were
heartrending. The child will recover.

Georgia there are 2,OsS,OO0 peach

something may be known of the pres

A lengthening vista Of yellow aud green,
With shafts Of deep shadows and inlight

The branches, wind-tossed, dappls tree

With ripples Of light on the soft waves Of

The apple trees old, with arms gnarled and

Like sentinels grim stand in martial ar

Their armor Of green disclosing o'erhead
Rich treasures Of fruit shining yellow and

A chattering robin doth hotly pursue

wASHINGTON's BIRTHDAY.

Ere another issue Of The Echo
the country will be called upon 10
celebrate the natal day of the fret
president of the Republic OF the
United States, George Washington,
who was q true model for his prede-
cossors to study and exercise. II is
given to Us through the medium OF
historical records that Washington
was man Of character and abilit,
equipped to perform the high func-
tipns Of his calling with much emf
nsnce and learned sources tells us no
man has been known to thoroughly
com pliment the vscsncy with their
incumbency. There was only one
George Washington, and it might be
safe to say ther will be no "If" ip
stability Of mind. superior in power
OF reason and staunch determination
with legislative ability. He was not
only the fret president OF q great
republic aud given the title Of father
Of his country, but in the true sense
Of the word ito illustrious leader.
Next Friday. the 22nd, the coun-
try will do hsnor to his memory, II
wss In Westmoreland county, Va,
where his birth occurred in 1882, and
at the age Of IL years was left m
orphan. In his young life there wac
very little probability Of his noted
career, and the Story OF the hatchet
and cherry tree are quite apocryphal,
having no doubt been invented by
bis subsequent biographers. At the
age Of 16 years we hear something
cf him as starting out In life with
position rs surveyor for some estate,
the work being 80 enormous that Its
execution consumed three years. In
the soldier ranks young Washington
next figured and then In politics.

ginia, though much against his will /;
and unanimous vote soon made
him the presiding officer. lie took no
part In the debates, but approved
Of the constitution, believing, as he
said "that IL was the best ccnstitu-
tion which could be obtained at that
epoch, and that this or dissolution
awaits our choice, and Is the only al
ternative." When il had been rati-
fed, and the time came to elect pres
idcnt, there was no more hesitation
than 10 the country had been a .heo-
cracy. The Office of president was
destined for George Washington. /,
was unanimous vote of the electors
that made him first president; their
unanimous vote reelected him Ia
1929 and, even after he had pos-
itiyely refused 70 serve for y third
time, two electors obstinately voted
for him in 1861.
Washington held the two national
parties apart, and prevented party
contest until the new form Of gov
ernment had been firmly established.
His remarkable life ended December
IL, 1893, but his name, like bis coun-
try, will never die.
