Don't he Drowned in Your Calling.

A European traveller tells OF the fol
lowing epitaph which he read on a
tombstone in England; Here lies -;
he was born man but died a grocer.
The man has disappeared in his calling.
We often find that mans vocation has
swallowed him; that it has completely
overwhelmed him, that there is nothing
left OF him for any purpose outside his
occupation.
1t is contemplate estimate OF a
vocation to regard it as the means OF
getting living. The man who is not
greater than his calling who does not
overtop his vocation so that it runs
over on all sides, is not successful. A
man should be greater than the books
he writes, greater than any speech he
makes. than any house he builds, or any
sermon he breaches

A GOOD WOMAN GONE.

Perhaps no death in Tallahassee for
years past has crea,ed more profound
sorrow than that of Mrs. Joel B. Col
Inns, which occurred at a quarter to 3
o'clock sunday afternoon. Mrs Collins
was 63 years of age, and was up until
four days before her death had enjoyed
above the average good health to all
appearances.
Wednesday evening she was taken
suddenly i'll with a cOngestive chill.
She had also a violent cold, and pneu-
mOnia set in. Saturday matters were
further complicated by another chill,
and DR.. Gwynn was called in consul
tatiOn with the family physician, DR.. K.
E. Philbrick. They did all that medl-
cal skill could suggest for the relief OF
the sufferer, but all the time during
her conscious moments she insisted
that it was no use.
Sunday afternoon another chill came
on ana tough sent for at once, the
physicians reached her bedside Just in
time to see the end. Her brothers,
Messrs. Charles and John GarWOod, OF
Monticello, and daughter, Mrs. Will
liam Girardeau, of the same place, hac
been summoned, and the former was
present Mrs. Girardeau reached here
a few hours later, the train having
been delayed, but Mr.. John Garwood
was detained on account Of sickness.
The funeral took place Monday af-
ternoOn from the Methodist Church, of
which the deceased was an old and de-
voted member. The services were
very touching, a favorite song Of the
deceased being rendered by the choir,
and the remarks Of the pastor, Rev. W.

PREPARING sYRUPsEOR MARKET.

PREPARING SYRUPSFOR MARKET
Judge Joseph Tillnsan, of Quitman-
who is probably bettEr posted on the
culture of cane anu CISSaVa than any
man in Georgia, has the following tC',
say on the subject:
That much attention is being drawU
to SOut-- Georgia anS Florida as the
coming Ell Dorado Ok the sugar cane.
syrup and sugar don of not only
America, but of all the world, there can
no longer be any d3lbt Then, how
important it is that c,,r farmers should
adopt the most improved methods in
preparing their SyruN for the market
The season for makiSSg syrup is again
near at hand, and m;' ask the FARM
ers whether they havs procured Il suf--
ficient supply Of big EA moss for the
Qualification of the slIice as it comes
from the mill? By ctual test, moth
ing equals the moss TOR this purpose
it being the most pc sect Strainer that
has ever yet been discovered in reIfeg-
ing the juice of IMPURITIES cOlOrfng
matter and such geEsls as create fer
mentatiOn. In adG:ti the juice
should be cooked uStiI all the water
is eVapOrated and III n the syrup can
be held indefinitely u the air H. a;I-
cluded, without fear Of souriHg "a fer
menting. 4
OF course, | take itAtOr granite. since
there has been so nue. written on this
subject, that every farmer fully under
stands the process of using this moss
There has been no new discovery OH
this line. A half barrel is a good re
ceDtacle for the Juice as it comes from
the mill. The black moss should bt
packed in the half barrel as tight rs
the WeiS.-C of a man c;ln pack il. There
should be enough MISS provided rog-
two days service. ard after one days
use the moss should fle taken from the
half barrel and thoroughly washed, so
as to cleanse it of aEy impurities that
may adhere or stick y it. 1t should he
spread out so rs tOFllTy and be made
ready for the next A4y's use, and So.
on throughout the s Pson.
The writer is in Possession or infGr-
nation that there viii be out hare next
month gentlemen of means from the
north, who Will bring a sugar expert
and sugar manufacturer with them
Our people may infer what this means
Ireaf1irm what haze frequently said
before. That the growing Of sugar
cane and cassava will not only prove
to be the redemption of this Southern
section, but will place it far in advance
of the North or West or elsewhere
where these products cannot be pro-
duced. So, then, you may conclude.
and that correctly, too, that this is the
coming country of the continent. There
is no other country like it. Here every
farmer can be a sugar cane and cas-
sava grower in proportion to theiI.
