A half dozen farmers from
Illirois and Iowa have recently
purchased farms in Georgia, in the
vicinity of Little River Stations,
on the Georgia Railroad, They
have brought with them improved
farming machinery and imple-
ments the Augusta Chronicle says
it makes new departure in FAM
irg in that State. One Of the new
settleis who went to Georgia IL
February last, has already made
one crop and demonstrated what
scientific farming will do. He
used the most improved machinery
and had sixty acres Of land IL
corn, which he broke up with steel
sulky plows and cultivated with
six shovel shlky plows. The yield
was over fifty bushels shelled
corn per acre, which was more
per acre than he made in Illinois.
This gentleman says, on his arrival,
he was told the Illinois system of
farming would not do in Georgia,
but that he produced more than
twice as much corn as his native
neighbors.
It is reasonable that the same
thing can es easily be done in
South Carolina as in Georgia.

Congressman Jerry Simpsons
exposure of Dingley's London hat
is going the rounds of the press.
The member from Kansas can
always be depended on to spring a
sensation. And he did it in a
most successful manner with
Dlngley's hat. The Republican
leader lost his head, and the more
he tried to explain, the more harm
he did himself. That hat story
will no doubt figure in the coming
campaign.

BLACK AND BLUE.

Black and blue colors are not subject to
fashions this season nor in any season.
They hold their own and will not wash out.
They are pretty solid colors, and but for the
misery of wearing them, might become
fashionable. Some men take pride in wear
ing them as tokens of their profession, as
soldiers do their scars. But bruises, black
or blue, OF both, ought to have immediate
attention, for under them may be a nerve
hurt or muscle badly wrenched. A black
and blue bruise is bad thing, not only
from It's tender soreness but the confused
blood is prevention of regular circulation.
While sore spots like these will not wash
out, there is something that Will rub them
out III no time, and that is st. Jacobs Oil
1t is peculiarly adapted to their, quick cure
A rennant can be won only by hard
knocks, with scars and bruises, but after
the ball is over, if any remain, this one
cure is the best. Bruises come from con-
fusion in all avocations, and it is we'll to
remember at all times just what will cure
them the best.

MEN IN THE PUBLIC EYE,

With the millions of Anna Gould
Count Boniface de Castellane is still
posing as the modern Tiberius. His
latest act of magnificence is to purchase
the Palazza della Scala in Verona, for
the sake of the eleven ceilings IN it
painted by Tiepolo. These will dec.
crate his new palace in Paris, repro
duction of the Grand Trinon. Paris
regards the career of the little count
with mingled awe and envy. When
will it end, or are the Gould millions
really inexhaustible?
John M. Langston, the colored law
yer, politician and orator, bears with be-
! coming dignity the many honors which
have come to him during his eventful
life. He does not look over 6S years OF
age. For several years he was a law
lecturer and dean Of the Howard uni
versity law department. In 1877 Pres
ident Hayes sent him as minister to
Hayti. He is the only colored man
Virginia ever sent to congress. AS a
scholar he ranks among the leaders; as
an orator he is the prince Of the plat
form,
James II. Eckels, who, within few
days, has retired from the Office of con-
troller of the currency, evidently does
not propose to hide his light under a
bushel, because be is no longer public
official. He delivered an interesting
address at Chicago the other night on
the subject of "Public Leadership, "
wherein he strongly favored independ-
ence in politics and vigorous individual
action, regardless of party politics and
party lines.

New Type of westerner,

Time was when the Westerner of
fiction was rudely heroic figure, chiv-
alric and resourceful, reckless of life
as the new school of novelists, and in
ured to adventure as one of Mr. Da-
Wis heroes. He lived by preference in
q mining camp, OF If geologic consider
ations prevented that he was apt to be
a rancher, an Indian fighter or at least
a cowboy. There was more than a
suggestion of the untamed wilderness
about him, and though generally i'm
possible he was always interesting.
The Westerner of recent fiction is an
entirely different character. His home
has been changed, for one thing, and
instead of the Rockies of the great
plains he now affects what might be
called in semi-nautical phrase the
West-middle-west. He has lost his
naively reckless ways in the removal,
to be to set forth the iniquity of exist
ing social conditions. Octave Thanets
missionary sheriff, 1t is true, is a lineal
descendant of the old type, as engaging
if perhaps as improbable as the gentle
manly and high-minded gamblers or
the simple hearted desperadoes in
whom Bret Harte reveled; but turn to
the character Of that self-proclaimed
prophet of the Northwest, Hamlin Gar
land, and what falling off we find!
His people do not live; they work. Life,
as he sees it, is a ceaseless round of
fierce toll performed angrily and re-
belliously by men who lack the force
to make their rebellion effective. They
complain, and sometimes they grow
brutal toward their womankind, but
their revolt carries them no further.
They have altogether lost the fighting
spirit. They shrink and cover before
the winters cold; they shudder and
vince at the pain of husking corn with
worn fingers; they swear and rage over
the discomforts of heavy work in hot
weather.-Scribner's.
