PROSPECTS ARE GOOD.
The Augusta Shoe Factory May Socr
Be Put in Operation.
Negotiations Nov Pending Which May
Result in Favorable Manner.

II has been rumored for several DAYS
past that the shoe factory had been
leased by outside parties and would
soon be operated Inasmuch as these
rumors are in circulation, Mr.. HIGH
born, acting manager for the owners of
the property, consented to give the
Journal the following information.
when called on by a reporter, yester-
day afternoon:
During the past few weeks a number
of parties have been comforting with
the management for this property, and
at this time two parties in particular.
with one or the other of which the
prospects look very hopeful for doing
business. Mr.. Hichborn returned, yes.
terday. from Boston. where he has been
consulting one of the parties who will
be in the city, this week, to further
negotiate. and it is believed that def
mite conclusions will then follow.
1t is admitted by all the manufact-
urers who have looked the property
over that there are no wooden factories
in New England superior to this, and
very few are equal. The city, too is
acknowledged to be, all things consid-
cred. one of the very best for shoe
manufacturing.
At any rate it is believed that when
the parties come here proposition viii
be made and it is urgently hoped that
the enterprising citizens of the city
who are interested in its thrift and ad-
vancemenC will be ready to cooperate
with the owners of the property and
meet in a fair and generous spirit any
reasonable proposition these parties
NAV make.

Improvement of Corn.

"Uncle Henry" Wallace,is devoting a
good deal of space in his paper Wal
laces' Farmer to the improvement of
Iowa Corn. He calls attention to the
fact that while the Iowa Farmer has
been improving his live stock for TWEEN.
ty years and more he has given very
little attention to the great Iowa crop,
corn. Among the many articles which
have appeared in Wallace's Farmer on
this subject has been series by Prof.
Shamel, of Illinois, the corn expert,
and these are illustrated by number
Of photographs showing different va
rieties of corn, perfect and imperfect
ears, the most profitable to raise, etc,
The average Iowa farmer thinks he
knows as much about corn as anybody
does but we miss our guess if he can
not learn lot from these articles in
Mallaces Farmer.
In this connection we wish to say
that Wallaces' Farmer is one of the
best agricultural papers that comes to
this office. 1t is handsomely printed on
paper of fine quality, filled with at
tractiye illustrations, and IN addition
to Its regular features, its editorials by
"Uncle Henry" its departments of
Dairying, Horticulture, the Hog and
Poultry, its Home Department, for the
women; contains full reports of the
leading fairs, live stock shows, and
sales, agricultural meetings, etc. 1t is
published weekly at Des Moines, lowe
at LOO year, all subscriptions pay
able in advance and the paper stops
when the time is out. we can send
Wallaces' Farmer and the Democrat
both one year for only 2.25 and you get

The platoon seemed to me to be in
great luck. 1t was a hot day; the mer
were dismounted and resting at ease
their sabers strapped to the saddles, in
the shade on the edge of forest in
front Of which was an abandoned, bare
plantation at least half.a mile square
A gentle breeze from the northwest
blew refreshingly. The line between
the open ground and the forest was
marked by a rail fence; how this had es.
capped the campfires of the hundreds of
thousands Of northern and southern
soldiers who had tramped the Peninsu.
10 was a mystery to me, except that it
seemed great way from the Rich
mond road, which had been the bone
Of contention.
Mick leaned upon this fence and
appeared to undergo a TRANSFORMATION,
for he looked intelligent and seemed to
have something on his mind besides
liquor, tobacco and a desire to snarl at
some one. AS already minated, my
head had been in the clouds for an
hour, SO I pulled myself up sharp" by
reminding myself that Mick, though q
sergeant and therefore my superior Off
Ger, was merely It Summerton tough"
with all that the name implied. Be

irons" looked about me at the men
lying at case beside the fence, their
horses being tied to trees near them,
| started to ask Brainard for carbine
or revolver, it mattered not which,
when Mick shouted:
"Coppyral Frost, take me carbine an
lift into yer pockets the cartridges from
me box an take some av me percussion
caps. OF think Oi'll be afther dom
most av me foightin' wild me eye am
wits" Then he looked about the men
on the ground, approached small man
who owned big horse, kicked him
gently and said:
Cit on yer horse an go like milk
man that's been on drunk an woke
up two hours late. FOND the rigimint
an tell the colonel that the whole ribil
army is a-comin' across the field be-
yant."
All the men on the ground jumped
to their feet as the messenger proceed
ed to obey orders, and they saw almost
half a mile away gray line that
might have been mistaken for the SHIN
mering cheat band" that lies near the
surface of any nat, open, dry ground
on very hot day had not the line been
fecked with spots of color and topped
at regular intervals by spots that re-
solved themselves, through troopers
eyes, into mounted men. Twas not
as Mick had said, the whole rebel ar
my, but it was at least n regiment,
probably a brigade, advancing slowly

ment was-where? And we were SO far

bowed twice, first to the arm, then to
its owner, as Mick thrust the fragment
of himself into the front of his jacket,
and he and l made way to the left un-
der cover of the fence.
The skirmishers came on in fine style,
fixing bayonets as they ran. We after
ward learned that they had supposed
the way clear and had merely come to
make assurance doubly sure. They
soon found themselves in error and the
next few minutes We're uncomfortable
in the extreme for all concerned. Shoot
ing ut men at short pistol range is de-
pressing work unless the shooter is
drunk. Shooting any man in the back
is unmanly work. To fire into the

The inventor of the Cork,

Don Perignon, poor blind monk,
first thought of cork for bottle stop
pers. He was employed in a royal
monastery as overseer of the extensive
vineyards, being himself manufac-
turer. Indeed, it is said he discovered
by experimenting with wines and
grape juices that highly effervescing
beverage known as champagne. Ne
cessity in his case was doubtless the
mother of his inventing the cork stop
per, for his champagne must have
needed a better stopper than was then
used-merely bunch Of flax soaked
in oil. If he was the first to put cork
into bottle, the world is indebted to
him, since its impermiability, elastici-
ty and lightness render it invaluable
for this use

broke the Rule.

A Boston man recently RECALLED a
party of friends with a story about a
certain nameless club in Boston which
has strict regulations against gam
bling.
A quartet of club members decided
to break that rule by game OF poker
for small stakes. So they adjourned
to one of the small rooms of the club
and called the old colored servant to
bring Il pack of cards. When he
brought them, one of the members
queried:
John, suppose it would be some.
thing utterly new in this club if we
should do such a thing as play for
money with these cards"
The negro scratched his head and
deliberated, finally answering:
BOSS, Fze been wild dis club n long
time and I'ze seen many things"
eyes, but what have you secn?'
"I'ze seen ebry rule OBJ dis club VI
lated 'ceptin' one"
"What rule is that one?"
"De rule 'gainst gibbin' tips to de
SERVANTS"
And straightway, that rule was re-.
lieved Of its lonesomeness among its
fellows.-New York Times.
