An exchange very truthfulIy says
that there are a whole lot of fellows
in and about every town who could
teach school better than those who
are u teachers preach better than
those who are preaching run a
store better than the store keeper
plead law better than all the attor-
neys in the county; run a news
paper better than the men who run
them. Yes, the woods, the fields
and towns are full of them, but none
of them ever taught school, preached,
practiced law, run a store or paper
and never will. They have always
spent their time in loafiDg around
finding fault with other people, and
don't know enough to do good hon.
est work and most of them never
will.

The Georgia Nlnstrels have come
and gone. They performed last Sun
day night to an over crowded house.
We say over crowded because there
was not even standing room left,
many people having been turned
back for lacking of room. The col.
ored population, with whom Billy
ksrsands is justly popular, was
particularly in evidence. We did
not attend the peri 1rmanee but we
are informed that it was of the usual
minstrel style.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

A new year is born, fnllof hope
and promise the SENTINEL wishes
all its readers and patrons a Happy
New Year,
The yeariust past has not proven
a year OF unmixed happiness and
prosperity to all Of our people /; it
has been, or the contrary, one of
sorrow, trials and tribuIations, to
many first, in time, came the heavy
and disastrous hail-storm of the
spring which destroyed in great part
tue small crop Of the parish, then
came the terrible fight against the
high water, followed by disastrous
oyerfiows which laid waste a great
portion OF the parish, destroying all
crops and oecasioning much suffer
ing. But, with all these misfortunes,
there is much to he thankful for !:
We have been spared a visitation Of
the yellow fever the cane and rice
crops have been good, and the har-
vssting thereof has given employ
ment to those in search Of labor.
The grading has been more pro-
longed and the wages better than
usual, thus putting more money in
circulation and stimulating trade.
All these are blessings to be thank
full for, and which in a measure,
compensate for the ills endured.

1t has been some years since We
have had such a wet Christmas
as the n just past. 1t ralued all
day and all night on Christmas eve,
aud way into the day OH Christmas
day itself. There was water, mud
and slush every where, SO that it was
a hard matter to go about without
getting wet and muddy. On Christ
mas day the members of the congre-
CATION of st. Joseph's Church had
great difficulty to reach their place of
Worship on account of the rain aud
mud.
But, on the Whole, Christmas was
observed AZ best 1t could, under the
circumstances, and there was joy and
merriment in the town. Old Santa
Claus managed 10 visit most homes,
notwithstanding the inelemency of
the weather. aud the recipients of his
gifts were happy.

A series of accidents have charac-

local train here killed two COWS be-
tween this point and Schriever and
on reaching the depot here, a drunken
Indian who was standing in the

over and mangled to death. From
all accounts no blame attaches to
those IN charge of the train for this
rcgrettable accident.
On Sunday, the special car of the
Georgia ministries was accidentally
backed into the pit of the old turn

His iiaur tas enne at last
bis brilliant reign is ended,
Its golden days are past.
he shakes the wreath that, withered,
Lies cold upon his brow;
HIS breath is quick and labored,
tbs eyes are closing now.
The grand old year is diving,
He Did the world good night;
A starry veil is lifted
That paris him from our sight
A sigh of deepest feeling.
A tear, and then a smile,
For scenes of rarest pleasure
Our lontly hearts beguiie.
Behold. the New Year cometh
his face is young and fair:
The merry bells are ringing.
There's music everywhere
oh, happy. happy greeting /.
Oh. happy, happy. day
Ihat lights our path before Ms
And laughs our cares away.

A new process Of clay casting, or
porcelain products, termed "ThOnguss,"
has been introduced in Germany, saya
The Neueste Erflrdungen. It seems that
in this case the mass is net, as hereto
fore, worked cold upon tho pottcr's
lathe or pressed into a mold, but is fine
ly ground after careful drying, then
melted at a prescribed heat in an cleo
trio furnace and poured into a heated,
fireproof casting mold. Glazing becomes
necessary in most cases If the walls Of
the mold are sufficiently smooth, other
wise it is allowed to cool or after tho
qualification of tho cast TO q certain
temperature, and finely powdered glass
is thrown on in a uniform, thin layer.
The advantage of the new process, as
set forth, consists-aside from n consid-
erably reduced cost-in an almost COM
plete prevention Of the unforeseen
shrinking Of the mass on cooling, and
thus II follows that henceforth instru-
ments Of precision and accurately divid-
ed measuring vessels Of every descrip-
ton can also be made from porcelain.
BY means Of a still andeveloped process
wiz, the admixture Of a suitable sub
stance to the melted clay-it IS expected
to render the cooled mass pliable-mal-
leable-and also TO make the oper.tion
Of a remelting considerably more diff
cult.
