TOICHES UPON VARIOUS TOPICS
OF GOSSIP.
Why tle Mothers of Mount Vernon Re
joice JCverjbody Feels That Home In the
Center.
Letter from Mt. Vernon says: "A
kind providence has blessed us with
the most delightful climate, the pret
tiest women and the sweetest babies
I in the world." I have no doubt of it,
l and I am jdad of it. A kind provi
dence has done exactly the same
thing lor us, although we live 200
miles North of ML Vernon. Last
week a friend wrote to me from Day
ton, up in Tennessee, and said : "Our
little city is the gem of the mountains,
and wc have a prosperous, happy
people," and I heard an intelligent,
truthful citizen of Murfreesboro de
clare that "Our Heavenly Father
never created a lovelier country than
that of which our beautiful city is the
center." The good people of Spring
City wouldn't exchange with anybody,
and everywhere I go it looks like
providence has bestowed His bless
ings with a lavish hand. Nashville
is proud, Chattanooga is jubilant, and
Atlanta is the hub of the Southern
universe. It is a benificent trait in
our nature to. bp content and even
proud of our home place our sur
roundings. "Be it ever so homely,
there's no place like home."
1 he locus 01 our affections is tne
family, the friends. From there they
radiate and expand to our town and
our country, and then to our State
and our section, and last to our coun
try. When, the Italian business was
hot I heard an old Confederate talk
ing about that law that prohibited
our veterans from ever holding any
office in the army or navy, and he
said he would go to New Orleans, if
necessary, and tender his services to
the mayor, but he wouldent go to
Boston nary foot until they repealed
that law and begged his pardon for
passing it. "Why," said he, "they
would put their officers over us just
like they did dyer the niggers during
the war."
We even love our own troubles
and misfortunes. "It is none of your
funeral" has more truth than romance
in it. The other day as I journeyed
to Chattanooga I found a vacant seat
in front of a pretty school girl, who
was going homeland I was not long
seated before she handed me a paper
that gave an account of the great fire.
I thanked her, and as I perused the
fiery column she leaned forward and
pointed with evident satisfaction to a
paragraph, and said- "That was my
father's property, but it was insured.
Chattanooga can have awful big tires,
don't you think so?" The sweet girl
was proud of her fire.
But Tenhesseeahs have a right to
boast, and I hope they are grateful
jn proportion to their blessings. I
'have never seen such wheat as there
is around Murfeesboro this season.
One farmer told me he had 400 acres.
"How much will you make to-the
acre," said I.
He said : "Of course no one can tell
the result of a wheat crop until it is
harvested and threshed and measur
ed, but I have a reasonable expecta
tion of twenty-five bushels to the
acre." Just think of it. Ten thous
and bushels of wheat lrom one farm,
and the outlook is that it will bring
Si a bushel. The farmers are getting
on top again. Corn is worth $1 a
bushel right here in Cartersville. The
farmers who have it to sell are happy,
but those who have it to buy are mis
erable. -When will the millenium
come, so that everybody can be hap
py ? When will the good time come
that everything a man has to sell will
be high and everything he has to
buy will be cheap ? Everything is
going up except sugar. I bought a
whole barrel at 6 cents a pound and
now it is down to 5 cents, and Mrs.
Arp thinks I had better buy another
barrel so as to reduce the average.
Not' long ago she bought a roll of
matting for SS because it was so cheap
and it went down to $5 in a week and
hurt her feelings so bad I had to buy
another roll to comfort her.
On the w hole, I think the Tennes
see farmers are doing pretty well. I
saw great stacks ot country meat m
the stores at Murfreesboro. I saw
cattle and sheep grazing upon the
beautiful clover fields. I saw the peo
'ple who ow ned the farms and they
dident look like they were toting a
mortgage or were in debt for ad van-
ces. it is not naru to tell a man who
is in debt more than he can pay.
Debt gives a man a subdued,, care
worn look. He looks henpecked,
and I reckon he is. He doesent
sleep well and his food don't
digest. I don't believe those
Tennesseeans are in debt to any seri
ous extent, fori never heanl one of
them mention the sul (treasury. They
have some surplus change, I know ;
tor while we were waiting at a station
1 tor another train that was to meet
: and pass us, a tall, slim old man
j stood up about midway of the car and
1 said, "Good people, I ask pardon for
j what I am going to say," His hand
! grasped the arm of the seat and his
j voice trembled as he spoke. "I am
'. old and I am blind as you see : but I
j am not a beggar. These eyes were
' put out at the battle of Sharpsburg
j by the explosion of a gun. I belong
i ed to an artillery company and was
honorably discharged. Here are my
papers which any gentleman can ex
amine." And he unfolded and held
out a soiled and sacred document.
"All these long years," said he,-''I
have not troubled anybody but my
kindred. My father and my mother
cared for me and little children led
me about. But my parents are dead
, and my kindred are poor, and it
j hurts me to be a charge upon them,
j I know that I can go to the poor-
house but that would separate me
from those I love, though they be
poor and humble, and so I thought
that I would venture upon the train
where people travel who generally
have a little money to spare for char
ity if I am wrong, excuse me for
troubling you my trust is in the
Lord." It was a very short speech,
but it was eloquent. His well-worn
clothes, his sharp thin features and
the sunken sockets, where his eyes
had been, made a picture. A gentle
man and lady were just opposite to
him and I saw her give the sign. He
took some change from his pocket
aud held out his open hand for her
to take choice. She took the largest
piece a dollar and dropped it in the
old man's hat. This was the sign
for the next to begin. It broke the
seal, and all around they took or
sent their contributions. Two drum
mers were behind me, and one said :
"Let's stake him, Jim I'll go half a
dollar." The other said: "we don't
have to pay ours : they draw pensions:
but I'll go a dollar on the old confed."
Two half-grown lads were going to a
picnic. They looked at each other
thoughtfully and drew a quarter each
from their May day money. The
silence that had marked the waiting
passengers was broken, and every
body seemed brighter and more
friendly. The old man w as a bond
that bound us all together. I knew
that "charity hideth a multitude of
sins, but 1 chu not realize now quicR
it could make friends ot strangers.
Mankind are better than they seem
to be. 1 hey are kinder and more
haritable when the case is 'before
them. There are some we know
whose hearts are hardened ; some
"who grind the faces of the poor."
I was thinking about that expression
of the wise man, "grinding the flesh
off the bones ;" and Shakespeare says
of the poor apothecary, "sharp mise
ry had worn him to the bones;" and
another poet speaks of "pinching
poverty." "The poor ye have always
with you" is a ringing text, and needs
no expounding from the pulpit. I he
world is full of bread-winners, and'
when they cannot work, they suiter.
Not unfrequently I go to' Atlanta and
visit our doctor boy who is m Dr.
Westmoreland's office. I always find
number of sufferers waiting their
turn in the anteroom, and i talk to
them about their troubles most of
them are poor but white and black,
poor and rich receive the same atten
tion from that eminent surgeon.
Morning and evening he is busy
with knife and forceps, and splints
and battery, and his patients go and
come again for treatment until they
are well. Broken arms and legs, and
shoulder blades, tumors and strictures
and gun-shot wounds, and hands
crushed in coupling the cars. An
anxious mother comes with her child
to have a deformed foot made straight,
and another comes to have her hare
lipped darling operated upon. I meet
there little boys and girls on crutches
little sufferers from hip disease or
white swelling, and it all makes me
sad, for it looks like the world is full
of trouble and it will never cease. Ev
ery day this skilful surgeon cuts and
talks and smiles as though he had no
deep concern and would soon restore
the sufferers to health and strength.
Blessings on the doctors, for they do
a world of work for poverty. They
are all good Samaritans, and I hope
their charity will not hide only a mul
titude but blot out all their sins.

Bill Kinny, ot Dry Fork, killed a
a prominent man of the community,
and the authorities, after some little
meditation, decided that he ought to
be arrested. But Bill objected, and
when three deputy sheriffs called on
him he laid a Winchester rifle across
one corner of his homestead, killed
one of the deputies and so painfully j
wounded the other two that they
strolled back to the Shady Grove
Court House. Several days later,
while Bill was sitting in front of his
door, Mark Townsend, the Sheriff in
chief, walked up to the fence and
lazily placed his arms on the top
rail. Bill reached back and took up
his rifle. j
"Good mornin', Bill."
"Hi, Mark."
"Had a good bit of frost last
night."
"Yas, rather. Which way you
travelin', Mark ?"
"OF, no way in particular. 'Low
ed you mout be lonesome, an' 1
thought I'd drap over and talk with
you awhile. Don't make no differ
ence how lively a feller, he's is apt to
git lonesome once in a w hile, special
ly this time of the year."
"I reckon that's true," Mill re
plied. "Some fellers come out here
the other day, and one of them got
so lonsesome that he jest natchully
had to lay down."
"So, I hearn," said the Sheriff.
"By the way," he added, "them fel
lers that you speak about wanted you
to go to Shady Grove with them,
didn't they ?"
"Yas, they lowed that a jedge
down thar wanted to make my ac
quaintance." "You don't sav so,'' exclaimed the
Sheriff. "W'y the jedge is a migh
ty big man, an' I'd think you'd like
to meet him, Bill," '
"I would, but you see I ain't in so
ciety this year."
"Sorter retired, air you ?"
"Yes, thought I was agettin' a
leetle too old fur the bright foolish
ness an' yaller trimmins' of this here
life."
"Yes, that mout be," the Sheriff
replied. "A feller does withdraw
mightily as he gets along in age ;
but say,1 the jedge is a friend of mine
an' I want you to meet him."
"No, I'm obleeged to you. I nev
er hankered alter these here fellers
that pride themselves on their book
larnin'."
"I don't exactly crave them," the
Sherifl rejoined, "walloping" his to
bacco about in his mouth, "but still I
think we ought to meet them once in
awhile. But say, Bill, there's a man
down at Shady Grove that I do want
you to meet."
"Who is he?"
"Sam Powers."
"He's the jailer, ain't he?"
"Yes an' the best one you ever
seen."
"So they say," Bill replied, fond
ling his rifle. "In fact them fellers
that was here the other day wanted
me to meet him."
"So I learn," said the Sheriff, "but
I lowed that mebby they didn't ex
tend the invertation in a soft and
gentle enough way."
"Oh, I didn't have no fault to find
with the invertation. I jest didn't
wanter go, an' sorter pulled back a
little an' then one of them laid down
an' the other two limped might'ly."
"So I hearn," said the Sherifl.
"Still I thought there mout be a eas
ier an' smoother way of puttin' the
invertation. Gentleness always pays.
You can sometimes lead a man with
a string of beads when you couldn't
drive him with a hoop pole. You
recollec old Wash Bowies, that was
once the sheriff of tliis county, don't
you
?"
"Mighty well."
"Ah, hah! Weil, that old teller
had more gentleness aud considera
tion for the icelins of other folks than
anv man, I ever seen. One time
i he

had to hang a feller named Brice,
Brice sorter kicked against it, be
a feller that was hard to please
1 anyhow, so Wash, 111 that soft way ot
his'n, stepped up to put on the rope
an says: 'Bnce, you 11 please ex
cuse me, but I'll not detain von but a
moment.' So thought that il I'd
come here to-day with strong consid
eration an' smooth gentleness you
mout accept the jailer's invertation to
come an' spend a while with him.;"
"No I'm obleeged to vou. I don't
care about goin' to-day. I've got to
go over the ridge an'-whip a feller
to-morrerj an' it I don't do it I'm
afreered he mout be disappointed.
Well, now, Mark," he added, "ef you
ain't got no further bus'ness with me
1 reckon you'd better be shovin'
along."
"But I have got some further busi
ness with you, Bill. I want you to
go with mean' see the jailer."
"Wall I ain't goin."
"I 'lowed you would, Bill."
"Take yo' arms often that fence or
I 'll drop you right whar you stand."
"Soil hear," said the Sheriff. "Say,
I come over to take you to jail."
"You don't say so."
; "Yas, an' I want you to go with
me."
"How many men
did vou bring
with vou?"
"None at all. bfit vou air a-poin."
"Mehhe after all these here car
tridges is shot off."
"Now I thought you would go
wath me without having .to waste any
ot tne cartridges. You know the
price of brass an' powder have riz
mighty of late."
"Oh, now here, Mark, I don't care
nothin' fur expenses. I don't mind
shootin' a few balls into a feller that
wants to put me in jail and afterwards
hang me."
"I am glad you aint stingy, Bill.

"That's the way I like to hear a
man talk,. Bill. Sav, last night the
jailer and his two sons went 'possum
huntin . I uey called up the dogs--and
they have got some of the finest
hounds you ever saw and here they
came with brightness in their eyes
an' deep music in their voices. You
ought to have heard them go 'dunk,
ounk.' Well; they went out, an'
about midnight they came back with
two of the biggest and fittest 'pos
sums ypu ever saw. Well, they
dressed them right thar an' then an'
put them out on the house so the
frost could fall on them, an' began to
bake them along with some sweet
potatoes. Then the jailor's son he
says, says he, 'Pop, we ain't got no
regular wildcat licker to go with these
here "possums,' so the old man, bavin'
a mighty eye for art, gave a jug to
the young feller and told him to go
up in the mountains. The young
feller went but he couldn't find no
licker, an' at last he seen an ole feller
drivin' a wagin, an' when he asked
the ole feller if he could git anv licker.
he swore-that he didn't know nothin'
about it, 'but,' says he, 'if you will
take that jug up on the hill side an'
put a dollar under it I don't know
what mount happen, but when you
come back I don't believe the dollar
will be there.' Wall, he went up on
the mountain side an' put a dollar
under a jug an went away, but bless
yo' life, when he came back the dol
lar was gone .but the jug was filled
with the best licker that had passed
its teens. An' so, at dinner to-day
they are goin' to have them 'possums,
an' sweet potatoes an' that old licker
that's got a bead on it like a dewdrop ;
an' say, that jailer says that you may
enjoy the feast."
"Look here, Mark, you ain't tryin'
to trifle with my feelin's air you ? "
"No: I'm tellin' the Lord's truth:
an' sav, that ain't all. The Perdue
boys caught a big bear down in the
bottom an' after dinner they air goin'
to set the dogs on him in the jail yard
ritrh't in full view of yo' cell. Think
of that."

VASELINE FOR SORE THROAT.
For a sore or rawr throat without
much inflamation an excellent, sooth
insf, emolient application is Vaseline.
A mass the size of a hazel nut should
be taken into the mouth, and as it
melts, which it does almost instantly,
it should be allowed to trickle slowly
back and down the throat.
SAID TO 'BE A REMEDY FOR FRECK
LES. Halkins states that in carbolic acid
we nave a certain cure lor ireckies.
The skin, first washed and dried, is
stretched with two fingers of the
left hand, and each freckle is careful
ly touched with a drop of pure
carbolic acid, which is allowed to dry
on the skin. Under its action , the
part becomes white and burns for a
a few minutes. In from eight to- ten
days the cauterized scale falls oft,
and the spot, at first a rose red, soon
assumes its natural color. Herald of

COLD WATER FOR SPASMODIC CROUP.
Dr. J. T. Jelks, of Hot Springs,
Ark., says, concerning the,, efficacy of
cold water compresses in affections,
of the respiratory tract : "The cold
water compress in spasmodic croup
is one of my earliest recollections, my
brothers and myself having been suf
ferers from this distressing disease,
and I many times witnessed and felt
the speedy relief afforded by cold
water. In a practice of fifteen years
I have never given a dose of medi
cine of any sort for the relief of spas
modic croup, and claim that there is
no necessity for giving alum, turpen
tine, mineral, aconite or indeefi any
remedy whatever.
"A napkin or handkerchief is wet
in cold water and wrapped about the
throat, and over this is applied a dry
towel. In ten'or fifteen-minutes the
child will be breathing easily and will
probably be asleep. This seems to
be an exceedingly simple thing to do
when the family and patient are in
such distress, but it has always been
successful in my hands."
A SIMPLE METHOD OF REMOVING A
NEEDLE.
I think it may be of service to re
cord a simple means by which I ob
tained the removal of a broken needle
from the heel of a young girl,- aged
twelve, whom I saw walking about
on her toes to avoid her right heel,
into which a needle had been broken,
touching the ground. The buried
end could be felt, but any pressure
led to its further entry. I directed
her to wear a large thick corn plaster
around the spot, with a little wet cot
tonwool in the centre, and to tread
freely on the heel. Within a week
afterward she showed me the needle,
which had. protruded, 1 and she had
easily withdrawal it. Thus no wound
was made, and no scar ieu 10 oe a
tender spot on the plantar surface.

HOW TO WASH THE HAIR.
For washing the hair, says the
Ladies' Home Journal,a small piece
of kitchen soap put in very hot wa
ter until a thick white sud is achieved,
is best. Use this first water to cut
out the dust, and, after that, wash
the soaov water out ot it thoroughly
j with clear water that should be very
I hot, holding your head over a basin
j ;vnd letting it be poured from a small
nitcher. Drv the hair first with
j towels, and then do not braid it
j while it is damp, but have it "either
( fanned until it is dry, or, if possible,
! stay in your room and let it hang
1 loose .until it is free from all moisture,
j i0 not be induced under any circumr
; stances to use a fine comb upon it :
it is..death and destruction to the hair
and not good for the scalp. -If there
are obstinate spots of dandruff, rub
jn a little vaseline and brush that

A MATTIiK OF HISTORY.
Among the callers at the Advance
office on Memorial Day was Mr. Ruf
fin Renfrow, who always participates
in the memorial exercises. He told
us that some few weeks ago he was
in Richmond, and succeeded in locat
ing the grave of Henry Ruffin Barnes,
an uncle of his, and a native ot Wil
son county, the brother of our es
teemed friends, Messrs. John H. and
Ehas G. Barnes. Mr. Barnes was one
of Stonewall Jackson's botty guard,
at Chancellorsville, on that memora
ble night in April, 1863, and was shot
in the right arm and shoulder, from
the effects of which he died soon
alter. He had risen from the ranks
to 'the position of Corporal by pro
motion, and had he lived would have
been made a lieutenant for conspicu
ous valor on the field at Chancellors
ville. But, "like many a noble
other," he lay down his life ere he
had reached its prime. Alas !
DID VOU KNOW 1 r?
"Bill Arp's" letter last week treated
of the pension steal. Just think of
one State drawing $1 2,000,000 to pay
pensions! And you and I help pay it.
If we had to pay directly, like State
and county taxes, the amount ex
pended for pensions, such a howl
would be raised as was never heard
before. Rebellion, rank and bold,
would take place inside of two weeks.
The expenditures for pensions for
the year ending June 30th, as now
officially stated, amounted to $109,
357,534. In the aevious year we
paid $87, 644., 779.1 1 , while in the
year before that we paid $80,288,
508.77. The cost t the German
army, it may be interesting to note,
is for this year estimated at $91,726,
293. Besides our pensions our army
costs $30,000000.

CORSETS.
Down to a fine point
that's where the making of corsets has
been brought to.
Kabo for the "ljones" it can't break
or kink. Ixops of corset lace instead of
metal eyelets they can't rust or cut the
laces. The Ball Corset for ease and com
fort ; the Kabo Corset for unyielding
strength. Each is the best of it's kind.
