The Cold and Frost.

President Harvie Jordon of the
Southern Cotton association estimates
that between 10000 and $4,000 bales
of cotton were killed in the State of
Georgia alone, by the cold and frost
of last week. The damage not only
to cotton, but corn and other vegeta-
ton was immense in all sections of
the country. It was probably the
heaviest frost with ice to visit the
different sections of the country gen.
orally, so early in decade or more.

rcumbled beneath his feet, when all his
glories had faded and his hopes had turn
cd to ashes, the victim of Waterloo might
still proclaim with triumph:
Il shall go down to poster!ty with the

And / recall the inspiring words OF
Lord Broughan, who In an eloquent adj
dress upon the subject, said:
1T was the boast of 1,ugustus--it form
ed part of the glare in which the perfidics
of his earlier years were lost-that lie
found Rome of brick and left il of marble.
But how much nobler will be the sover-
eign's boast when he shall have Il to
asy. that he found law dear and left 1t
cheap; found II a sealed book, left 1t
living letter. found 1t the patrimony or
the rich left 1t he inheritance of the
poor: found it the two-edged sword OF
craft and oppression, left it the staff of
of honesty and the shield of innocence.
Greatness at the Bar.
In what does true greatness at the bar
consist? Not in collecting and ainassing
great fees; not in acquiring and hoard
ing great learning; not even in establish
ing a name above leproach and in main
tanning a character of spotless Integrity.
The horizon must be widened beyond the
realm of self. 1t is not enough tnat the
individual enterprises, though they be
of great pith and moment" IT is not
enough that the highest forensic talents
be devoted to the advancement of great
corporate industries, though they pro-
mote material prosperity. For the mem
bers OF the bar not only owe something
to the majesty and perfection OF the
law. but there must be, in their case, as
in the case of every good citizen, some
thing of personal sacrifice and OF disrl-
terested personal service for the conf
mon veal.
Thomas Jefferson.
Thomas Jefferson resigned seat in the
Continental Congress In 1776, in order
that he might serve in the Virginia Legis-
lature and there devote his great gifts
to the upbuilding of the Commonwealth
.. upon which he had helped to confer a
noble sovereignty. TO him We owe the
abolition of entails, Virginia having ut
his instance passed the first statute on
this subject in America. To him we owe
our great statute of descents and distri-
buttons, one of the clearest and most
perfect speciments Of legislation ever
penned by the hand of man. To him we
owe the still greater statute OF religious
| freedom, an achievement which he deemed
worthy of commemoration upon the SIM
