BETSY HAMILTON'S LETTER.
A Sketch or life in the Backwoods.
- Atlanta Constitution.
Craps was all laid by and it wasn't bard
for the new writin' marster to git up a
class; the young folks all jined mostly
for the fun of gittia' together.
A right smart chance of rid folks tuck
lessons too. Old man Loftis lowed he
had allers hearn it said it waj never too
late to lam, and be was a gwine to larn
how to sign his name if notbin' more,
'peared like he had been a makin of
his
X
mark
long enough.
We'uns seed the writin' marster a
com in' and maw she jerked the broom
quick and swept up the hath, and sot a
cheer in the entry and axed him to light
and come in.
Cousin Pink and me and Caledony got
back in the shed room and peeped
through the crack of the door ?.t him.
"What mougbjt be your name ?" said
Aunt Nancy, "ef I mougut be so bold as
to axil
"Broom is my name," says ha, and Cal
she snickered, and whispered;. "A hew
broom sweeps clean/' says she.
He sot a bit, then axed:
"Whar do you'unses keep your drink in'
water ?" and went hack to ;he water
shelf, and alter he drunk a gourd, of j
water he tuck a wash; and long, as he
was a stranger, Flurridy sho ;r1z the |
chest lid and tuck out a bran new store
bought haudtowel, that hadn't never
been biled, and he scrubbed and scrubbed,
and I know in reason he mocght have
scrubbed thar tel yet if Amt Nancy
hadn't a tuck pity on him and gin - him a
old saff towel.
"Them as never has .tried to dry ther
faces on one of these here new stiff store
bought towels 'fore hit's been washed
don't know bow aggrevatin' it is," says
Aunt Nancy, tryin' to be civil nannered
towards him. ''Take a cheer and set
down. apd.bjB.sejaJed.'l
I The minute the Freshouraes sees any?
body at our house here they coiaes. The
ole 'oman come in a puffin' and a blow in'
to see who the stranger was, and; the.
chillnn come a tearin' across the truck
patch fetchin' in all the mud on ther bar
feet They stood right afore him with
-ther eyes and mouths wide open. Some
chillun, you know, couldn't see a wink
lesson ther mouth was open. We gala
had slicked , our beads and starched. our
faces and come out, and was all standin'
arbttnd like he was a monkey show. He
had ontied his bundle and was a showin' j
the spessiments.of his hand write and
all sorts of little birds in red ink and blue
ink, some a settin' up on quill pens and
some with leaves in their mouths. And
he bacl a goose a swimmin' on the water
that he lowed he made all at or ce't with?
out takin' up his pen, and Au nt Nancy
she winked at maw?didn't, believe nairy ;
word of it. Flurridy lowed them birds
tuck her eye, and Cousin Pink lowed the
goose tuck her n. The little Freshonrees
'peared like they would jist bardaciously !
. climb all.ov.er.tbe man,spite of everything j
if ther mammy hadn't jerked 'em back.
She gin Dick a jerk and lowed : .
?'Set-' down tharr Dicky, the stranger
. don't,want to nuss you. Come here to
me, Becky Ann, you're too big to do that
way, pine blank like jeu never had saw
nothiu' aforein your life ; and.yotukoqw
your uncle Josiah ? Fresh ours drawed a
bird and a tarripin too out'n red ink and
blue ink too?set down 'fore I slap you
down, and quit a gazin' like yon hadn't
never saw no thin' afore, and which you
know yon is."
He wanted pap to let him put our
names down. Pap he was about half
I tight, and lowed:
'.'I don't know as I keer about it. My
-folks ken ail write tollerble fair- fists/
leastways they ken read it theyeelves.
But Ireckin they'll, all- w*>t to-take?
they most inginnerly takes every, fool
thing as conroSilong.' They buys: from
all the peddlers, and allers gib cheated;
they tuck cipherin' lessons from that
rethmetic man, and he was gwine to larn
'em all so fast how to do any sum in the
United States in two minutes aod a half,
ami be never so much as larnc 'ein bow
to count six aigs. Then they tuck singTn'
from that ar trout-mouth squeal in' fiddler
that come along here, last year,at tater.
diggin' time. The fact of the business is
tbis whole settlement is about half crazy.
He never larnt 'em a dime's worth as I
could see. But nevertheless, howsom
- ever, notwithstanding singin' you know
is one thing and writin' is tother, and
while I maintains to the doctrine that a
pretty hand write haint no sign of smart?
ness, nevertheless, notwithstanding I
never stands as no stumbling block in the
way of hby chillun a larnin'nothin'. Live
and larn have allere been my martow,
' but FA'tell you the truth and* stake my
affidavit on it, that tbe biggest' fool ever
I seed writ the beautifuiileat hand write."
Then Aunt Nancy np and lowed:
"Is it'no larn no pay/or i? you got
to plank up the money aforehand ? Sposen
now, for n'inBtance, I goes and takes, jist
sposen yon know, and sposen I don't larn
how will you gimme my mon^y back or
will yqu keep it ? That's what I desires
to-inquire fore I puts my name down, least
ways- that's what I'm axin- aforebao'.
Not as-1 am a thinkin' of puttin' of it
down, mind you, but I was jist a. sposen."
He laughed and told -her JX she'd take,
he wouldn't charge her -notbin' and so he.
put her name down.'"when old man
Fresh ours hearn that old man Loftis was
a gwine to take writin' lessons he lowed
he wouldn't be outdone, and told the
writin' marster to put his name down too.
"And you ken jist come over to my
house/' says he "and eat out the worth of
it in, v/ttkSj or you-ken wait tel I ken
take aoioe watermilIions to town.airy one,
odcb is^the d^?fie^ceZt?'me.,'
But odds wasn't the difference to Mr.
Broom.. He eyed old Fresh ours a minute
(he -'bad done seed old Miss Freshoure and.
the chillun) and said he believed he'd
druther wait tel he sold the watermil
lions, and who blamed him ?
The writin' school was belt at the.
Briar Patch scbool'ouse. In course me
and Cal sot together and kep up a power
of gigglin' and not much writin'. We
sot on a long bench side of a long desk;
I looked away down tot.her-eend of the
bench and seedlky-Rqbersqn a twistin'
Of: his mouth every letter he writ. I
hunched Cal and me and -her got to
laugbin'.
"Look at Auut Nancy," says I, and
she was a twistin' of her lips fust one
side then tother pine blank like she was
a cuttin' out a frock with the scissors.
Then we looked down tbe bench and
tothere was all screwing ther mouths too.
Cap Dewberry wusser'n all. The writin'
marster come and axed me and Cal what
was the matter. Cal she lowed:
"Haint thar some way to larn a body
to write without writin' with ther
mouths?"
He lowed he didn't twist his'n, but we
watched him when ho sot the next copy,
and he looked pine blank like he was a
gwine to whistle.
Me and Oal had a power of fun, but we
never larnt much. Two or three of the
gals fell in love with Mr. Broom, and
was jealous of Caledony. But when he
left all of a suddent betwixt two days,
bekase the lawyers was atter him for
stealhk'> that fine ridin' critter, they was
monstrous glad he was gone. Pap lowed :
"The new Broom swept bissef to parts
unkown."
? When old Miss Freshours hearn it, she
lowed:
"Thar now, I knowed it all the time,
for I drearap I seed him a crossin' of
muddy water."

A Wash, for Frnlt'ffrees.
Some of the agricultural papers are
advertising caustic potash or strong lye
made from wood ashes, as a wash for
fruit trees. This will removo all the
moss and rough bark, but trees on which
it has been used look red and sort of,
burned, and soon have rougher bark than
ever. The following we have long <used
and know it to be much the betterpxcp
aration. Buy common caustic, soda if J
you can get it; if not, buy s?T-sbda~rctr
common washing soda;, place it in an
iron kettle and over the fire; gradually
heat it, stirring often until it turns red,
when it becomes caustic. Dissolve one
pound of this in from one to two gallons
of water, as the trees have-more or less
rough bark and moss attached, and' with
it wash the trees. It will remove all
foreign matter as effectually as the potash
wash, and will leave the bark of a healthy
green color. Try it.
Make Yonr Wife Your Bar-keeper.
Wives who have drinking husbands
sbouid cut this out and paste it on the
looking-glass. A Western journal has
the following ^.very practical "'remarks; fot ]
those who cannot get along without fre-'
quent whiskies: Liquor dealers pay on
an average $2 per gallon for whiskey.
, One gallon contains an average of sixty
j five drinks, and, at ten cents a drink,
the poor man pays $6.50 per gallon for
J his whiskey. In other words, he pays $2
for the whiskey and $4.50 to the man for
handing it over the bar.' Make your
wjfe your bar-keeper. L&njLber $2 to
buy a gallon of whiskey for":& beginning,
"and every time you warrfca drink go and
pay her^J^centr for it. T3y ihe time
you have"drank a gallon she will have
$6.50, or enough;' to refund" the $2
borrowed from you,, to pay lliijr another
gallon of [whiskey an d a balance of $2.
she will 'be able to.cotfdact future opera?
tions on her own capital.
His business.
The other day on an Arkansas railway
train, an important-looking gentleman
took a seat beside a quiet man and began
a conversation": WaT
"Iain going up to Little Rock," Ire
said, "to get a pardon for a convicted
thief. I'm not personally, acquainted
with the GoverDor, but he can't afford to
refuse me,''
?'Is the fellow guilty ?" asked the man.
"Of course he is, but that makes no
difference. His friends, have agreed to
I give me five hundred dollars if ? I get him
out, and the thermometer is very low
when I can't get up & good talk. Where
areyou traveling.?"';
"Going to-Little Rock."
"Do you live-there?!'
"Yes."

rice to me. What business areyoui iii !?*

It Was Accident.
"The world owes its greatest achievi
l.ments to accidents," remarked Col.
j Bwifile to his wife, as they sat on the
back gallery enjoyjn^.a_..cofiLbjfifi?e.
'Nearly all great discoveries were purely
[accidental, and Mrs, Swiffle," added the
colonel, "it was by mere chance that we
met."
;"YeA"-theJadv replied, "it was an ac?
cident that caused our marriage."
The colonel didn't very much like this
reply, and, with elevated eyebrows, re
I joined:
"Accident! Why, my dear, I hardly
understand you. What' do you mean ?"
"Oh 1 I mean that if Tom: Benson had
not*accidentally shot himself, I would
never have married you. You would
like for me to think that you married me
by accident, but don't want to think that
it was accident that caused me to marry
you., Wish you'd draw a bucket of fresh
water."?Arkansas Traveler.
?af? Easy Cfoifluv.
A fe w evenings ago a furniture delivery
wagon was driven up in front of a promi?
nent Newport man s residence, and the
driver, taking a fine, large, softly cush?
ioned, easy chide from fife to tbe/f^n^door,
rang the bell. The mistress of the
premises happening near, opened the
door.
;<^?xe your Mrs.-Stay up?" asked the
tan.
"Iam," she responded.
"Well, here's an easy cheer for you."
I ' 'Ifca easy-chalrl Why, I never ordered
I it from any one."
"No, but your husband did."
"He did ? What! I never told him
to get one. There must be a mistake
about it. What did he say ?"
"Well, I only heard him tell the boss
[that he often got home purty late, and
, that you always sot up for him without
sleepin' any, and you had no easy chair,
and he thought mebbe if you had a right
Boft, easy; one like this, you'd go to sleep
in it, and he could slip up stairs and
crawl in bed without wakin' you."
"Ah, that's his scheme, is it ? Well,
you just take that chair right back again,
?and when he comes home to-night, if it's
to morrow morning, I'll be there as usual,
on. my same old chair, and I'll teach him
how to injure my character before the.
public^"
Then she slammed the door.?Kentucky

sonbeak to his wife, who had been coax?
ing her husband for a new Spring hat.
"I think it very becoming." "Yes," said
tbe lady sharply, turning up her nose
high enough to nearly make her mark on
the ceiling. "It is becoming?becoming

An Embarrassed Teacher,
A teacher in one of the smal lest district
schools in tbe smallest State in tbe Union
once proved that it may be embarrassing
to use one's self as an illustration. She
was bearing a class in spelling and defin?
ing words. Tbe word "orphan" had
been correctly spelled, but none of the
classseemed to know its meaning. After
asking'one or two of them, she said,
encouragingly: "Now, try agaiD, I am
an orphan. Now, can't some of you
guess what it means ?"
The blank look upon tbeir faces
remained, until one of the duller scholars
raised his hand, and said, with no inten?
tion of beiDg saucy : "It's some one who
wants to get married, and can't."

Yan Winkle King Cotton Press
Has long been before the public, and is too well
known to neied; any further descrlptfoii.; it^ chief
points of merits are: It takes very little room, is
easily handled, and takes so little power ; can be
used on all kinds of powers?horse, water or steam.
Ginning and packing can all go on at the same
time, without interfering with the Gin. A two
ipch belt will pack, a^'5J)0 lb. bale of cotton. It
saves its cost the firs^t season iu labor.
Read the following Testimonial:
Anderson, S; C?Mr. John E. Peoples?Sir: The
Steam Power Van Winkle Cotton Press bought
from you last. Fdll'h'aa given entire satisfaction. I
packed balers Qfcotton weighing 6i>0 to 725 lbs. in
five minutes with all ease, using a 4-inch belt and
25 lbs/steam. There did not seem any more strain
on the Press than with a 450 lb. bale. For dura?
bility, strength; lightness of power, small quantity
of steam required, economy of space, I deem it the
King of all Coffon Presses; especially so as the low
iprice at which it can be bought for puts it within
reach of every man running a steam Gin. In fact
I would not be without it for twice its cost. I
wo&foVdvtae all my friends to buy one of Van Winkle's Steam Power Cotton Presses, as
jou will save its cost in labor in one year. M. A. CURB.

pound. It is a tonic medicine, not a drink. It is a skillfully compounded
preparation made to restore strength and health; not a beverage to be sold
in bar-rooms and taverns.
Point the Second.?Brown's Ikon Bitters is free from everything
injurious. The most delicate ladies and the most enfeebled infants may
use it with perfect safety and with great advantage. While it is powerful
in its remedial agency, it is gentle in its operation, restoring wasted strength
and imparting robust health in the most efficient manner.
Point the Third.?Brown's Iron Bitters is made by the Brown
Chemical Company of Baltimore, a long-established house, whose reputa?
tion is well-known to the business world and the general community,
There is no risk in buying such \\ v V.icinc. /?

A FEW WORDS FROM
CAPT. R. W. BONNER,
A WEU-KJ'OWiV
CITIZEN OF MACOS, GA.
In August, 1881, nparl? three years ago, mv son,
who was at that time living at Clinton, (ia.,"camc
over to see tne with the saa intelligence that his
wife was in the last stages of consumption and
that her physician had pronounced her case hope?
less. I went immediately over, and I felt that
nothing could ne done. She was coughing and
spitting incessantly, und at times would discharge
from her lungs A large quantity'of pus or matter
?could not sleep or retain anything on her stom?
ach, and was, in fact, in the hist stages of the dis?
ease. This was about the time you began to ad?
vertise Brewer's I.ung Restorer, and as mv son
expressed a desire to give it to his wife, two or
three bottles were procured and with scarcely a
vestige of hope we commenced giving it to her in
small doses, gradually increasing the quantity un?
til the prescribed dos-j was reached. she began to
improve after a few doses and continued to do so
daily, until she was finally restored to life and
health, and is to-day perhaps in better health than
ever before. She is subject to colds, but a few
swallows of Brewer's Lung Restorer (which she is
never without) relieves her immediately. I con?
sider her restoration to perfect health a miracle,
for which she is indebted to Brewer's Lung Re?
storer. My son is almost a monomaniac on the
subject of Brewer's Lung Restorer and never lets
an opportunity pass where he thinks such a medi?
cine would be required, that he does not speak of
it in most glowiug terms. Not long slcce a North
em gentleman on his way to Florida heard ot this
cure and was induced by my son t i give it to his
invalid wife, and she was cured as if by magic.:l
Brewer's Lung Restorer contains no opiates.

POISON
In the blood is apt to show itself in the
Spring, and nature should by all means be
assisted in throwing it off. Swift's Specific
does this effectively. It is a purely vegeta?
ble, non-poisonous remedy, which helps
nature to force all the poison or taint out
through the pores of the skin.
Mr. Robert A. Easley, of Dickson, Tenn.,
writes, under date March 10, 1884: "I had
chills and fever, followed by rhoumatism,
for three years, so thru ] was not able to at?
tend to my business; nad tried almost every
kind of medicine, and found uo relief. A
friend recommended Swift's Specific. I
tried one bottle and my health began to
improve. I continued until I had taken
six bottles, and it has set me on my feet, as
sound and well as ever. I recommend it
to all similarly afflicted."
Letters from twenty-three of the leading
retail druggists of Atlanta say, under date
of March 24,1S84: "Wesell more of Swift's
Specific than any other one remedy, and
three to ten times as much as any other
blood medicine. We sell it to all classas,
and many of the best iamilies use it as a
general health tonic."
I am sure that Swift's Specific saved my
life. I was terribly poisoned with malari^
and was given up to die. Swift's Specific
relieved me promptly and entirely. I think
it is the greatest remedy of the age.
C. G. Spenceb,
Sup't Gas Works, Rome. Ga.
I have known and used Swift's Specific
for more than twenty years, and have seen
more wonderful results from its use than
from any remedy in or out of the Pharma?
copoeia. It is a certain and safe antidote to
all sorts of Blood Poison.
