Lumpkln Independent: We read with
interest of the strange manners and Gus
toms of other people in other lands; for
instance, the Swiss lake jewellers, the Chi
nese boat houses, the Philippine tree
dwellers, that build their houses in the
tops of trees seVeuty-fiVe or eighty feet
from the ground. But why should not as
strange things happen in Lumpkin as in
any other part of the world? There is
boy in town who has a steel plow or some
other instrument for a bell, on which he
regularly strikes the hours day and night,
with a piece of iron. 1t is suspended in
the top of a tree, and in order not to miss
the nocturnal strokes of his improvised
clock has built his bed near it in the tree
top, and sleeps there, awaking promptly

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Divide anything up into parts and you
magnify it, certain wise man took this
wav to give his wife an idea of how much
81 $50 is She had no idea of money. Her
purchases were enormous. 1t happened one
day that her eye fell upon a magnificent
ring. and she coveted 1t. i cost 81 goo. But
what was $1,000 to her, in comparison with
the ring? OF course her husband consent
ed to the purchase. What else could a du-
tiful affectionate husband do? But he tried
this method of educating his wife concern

In came the money, bagfui after bagful.
She never had such an idea Of 81 600 be-
fore. When the money was piled before
her IL alarmed her; the price Of the ring
went up a hundredfold, and was considered
at once an extravaganza which she of her
own option abandoned.

Vestment demand continues, together with
buying for continual account, which pre-
vents any sharp break on the hedg-
ing against Southern purchases. As a
rule. the trade sees nothing upon which
to buy cotton"
New York. Sept 30.-Paine. Murphy &
Co, say OF cotton: THE inclination this
morning was to follow Liverpool's I'M
responsiveness to our advance OF yester-
day, and put out new lines OF shorts. This
resulted in lower opening. with prices
selling 8 points below last nights close.
After the first can kilograms from
throughout the South showed excessive
rains, retarding picking, and the belief
that early frost would follow and catch
the top crop. caused considerable buying
both for short and long account This
resulted In a quick response and prices
rallied to points with the final trading
at near the best OF the day"
