DR. SCOTT TODD.
Dr. Scott Tpdd is another man who
came face to face with death daring the
war and then passed him by. He re?
ceived his wound at the battle of Oakoney
bridge and the circumstances attending
the infliction of it proves the wonderful
dispensation of providence. The battle
of Oakoney bridge was a very desperate
one. The confederates occupied a posi
tion behind breastworks, which were so
built as to leave embrasures through
which the soldiers could fire at the enemy.
The Marietta Cadets had held the works
against an overwhelming force for hours,
and their ammunition was giving out.
Jim Woodward (who was_recently mur?
dered in Atlanta) was standing at the
embrasure when the order came for him
to go to the rear and procure more am?
munition. As he turned away, Dr.
Todd took his place, and rested his arm
on the sill , of the embrasure. Before
Woodward had taken two steps he heard
a commotion, and turning, saw the
man who had replaced him lying
bleeding on the ground. The minnie
hall which struck Dr. Tpdd, so shattered
the arm that his case was thought fatal.
By amputation, however, his life was
saved, and now his tall figure and empty
coat sleeve are well known to everybody
in Atlanta.
JUDGE W. T. NEWMAN.
Judge Newman lost his arm at the
battle of Joneaborc, where he command?
ed a company of Tennessee cavalry.
The fight was a desperate one, and when
Judge Newman fell he was surrounded
on all sides by the dead and dying. The
little life that was left in him would quick?
ly have been trampled out of him by the
iron shod hoofs of the horses, but for Col?
onel Kuhn, the commander of the regi?
ment, who fortunately saw his danger.
In his arms the colonel lifted Judge
Newman and carried him to the. rear.
His wound, wfs found so dangerous that
the arm was token off a*, the shoulder,
and after a hard struggle for life Judge
Newman recovered his health and
strength.
COLONEL HAMILTON'S WOUND.
Colonel H. C. Hamilton, clerk of the
United States district court, once had
the usual complement of arms, though
now he^ carries an empty sleeve. His
was a .desperate wound, and the treatment
after receiving it put bis life in great
danger for a time. In December, 1864,
while General Sherman was raiding
through Georgia, news was received by
General L. Q.- Gartrell's brigade, at
Charleston, that a part of the. iron
fleet would be sent from Hilton Head
island to cut off the railroad connection
between Charleston and Savannah.
With a detachment of the Third Geor?
gia regiment, Colonel Hamilton was
ordered to meet the union soldiers and
frustrate their intention. The two armies,
met, and the desperate battle of Cooaa
whatchie was fought. Each force was
struggling to obtain possession of a
bridge. Colonel Hamilton was standing
at one end of the bridge, and had just
discharged his gun when a union man,
not a hundred feet away, took deliberate
aim at him. His band was at his side
taking out another cartridge when the
bullet of his enemy struck him in the
wrist; - The bone of the arm was terribly
shattered, and before dark the arm was
amputated at the elbow. After the
union forces were driven back, Colonel
Hamilton was taken to Savannah, where,
on the 21st of the same month, he was
captured. He was sent in his enfeebled
condition from one prison to another
until, in the dead of winter, with only
one coat and one blanket, he was landed
at Tort Delaware. He was only seven?
teen years old, and the wound and the
cold combined nearly killed him. He
was finally released and returned to his
home in Georgia.
COLONEL TOWEBS'S 8TOEY.
Colonel Towers, principal keeper of
the penitentiary, had one of the most
terrible experiences of the war. Al?
though be was not himself injured, it
was all - the harder for him to bear, as
his own son was the sufferer and he could
do nothing to help him.
At the battle of SharpBburg, Colonel
Towers led his men into' one of the most
desperate charges of the war.- With an
irresistible impulse the confederate sol?
diers swept the opposing forces from
their path until the union men were
banked up in solid phalanx. Then the
tide of battle changed, and foot by foot
the ground the confederates' had won was
regained. During the enforced retreat
Colonel Towers was assisted by his son,
who Was standing next to him. Sud?
denly the young man threw his arms
above his' head and fell forward. The
lives of all his men were dependent on
Colonel Towers,, and even for his own
son he could not stop. He had only
time to see that his boy was shot through
the chest and then he was forced to leave
him there. A moment later he saw the
spot where the prostrate form was lying,
and he wan obliged to continue the
retreat without knowing whether his son
were alive or dead.
Three days later while-Colonel Towers
was still suffering all the tortures of anx?
iety ah officer came to his quarters and
save him a startling account of his son's
jxperiences.
The union soldiers, he said, had found
the young man desperately wounded but
still alive and had removed him to a
hospital, which was situated at a little
listance in the woods. There he was
jared for until a confederate officer, who
was skirmishing through the woods,
;aine, by accident, upon tho hospital.
He had only a few men with him. To
mow his weakness insured his capture.
Se therefore rode up to the officer in
charge of the wounded and told him that
ie had succeeded in capturing all that
part of the union lines and his men
ivould be up in a moment to take charge
>f the hospital. His calm confidence
convinced the officials that he was telling
>nly facts and no attempt was made to
letain him.
As ho turned to ride away the officer
loticed a grieviously wounded man lying
indera tree. It proved to be young
rowers, and though he wast utterly ex?
hausted from loss of blood, he begged
;he confederate officer to take him away.
He was placed on a horse and was held
n an upright position until the union
lospital was ieft behind. Then the
lorses were forced into a gallop, and
.hough young Towers was continually
hinting, he was held on his horse and
vas brought safely into the confederate
:amp. He recovered from the vrcuiod
>nly to be killed during the next battle
n which he took part.?Atlanta Constilu
ion.
A Successful Farther.
Mr. F. H. Barber is well-known aa one
of York'County's most successful farmers.
He lives at Eichb?rg, but owns about
four thousand acres in Eastern York,
where he does most of bis farming. A
reporter of the Enquirer met him the
other tiay at Leslie's-, n station which he
is building tip on the Three C's. The
old gentleman had just finished settling
his accounts with his croppers and having
made a large crop was in ft real good
humor for telling how it was done.
He said to the reporter ; "You can
put in the paper that I averaged more
cotton to the mule than any other man
in York County."
"How many bales, Mr. Barber ?"
"Ten bales to the mule with twenty
six mules?260 bales. Now let me see
yon beat that if you can."
"Wasjour crop as good this year as
usual, Mr. Barber."
"No, no. I can't Bay that it wsb, but
here is another point for you., I have
just paid one negro who runs a two mule
farm on my piace $399 56. He makes
that much clear after paying everything
he owes me?living and everytbiug, and
nearly every one of a dozen pthera have
cleared over $150 apiece.
"Now people say there iB nothing in
farming, but I say there is. There is
more in il: than anything else^tbere's
everything In it. That's my experience
and I know what I'm talking about when
I say it, my young friend. I merchan
dised seventeen years, and made money.
I have a one-third interest in the Fishing
Creek factory, and it's making as much
money as any of them, let me tell you,
but Iget larger returns out of the farm
than anything elpe. You can make the
farm pay-50 and 100 per cent, but you
can't squeeze any such profits out of the
store or factory."
"But how is it that so many people fail
o make a living on the farm, Mr. Bar?
ber?"
"They don't work, that's why. The
majority of farmers want three Sundays
a week, and nobody can .get along by
working only half of the time. Suppose
yon would take'three Sundays a week in.
your business, how would you come out ?
You'd bust, wouldn't you ? That's what
you would do, and. that's what anybody
else who tries it will do. Now the farmer
don't have to work any harder or longer
than anybody else. * He don't have to
work from, daylight till dark. Not a bit
of it. I have a piece of land over next
to the factory and have bad a standing
ing offer for the past three or foUr years
of $250 a year to any young man who
would work it by the factory bell. I
just want him to put in ten bours a day,
and at the end of the year I'll give him
$250. That's fair, ain't it? That's as
much as the factory hands work; but if
he'll work by the boll he'll be worth every
cent of $250.;
"Then, there is another thing. A
good many people try to farm, and they
don't know anything about it. Take the
common notion about guano. Most
people will put 150 pounds on an acre.
They will lay off their rows about three
feet apart, and if the wind is blowing
they will teke one of these horns, so as
to keep the guano from "getting out of
the furrow, and string it along the row
in a fine white line. They are so careful
about wasting it that if the string hap?
pens to get broken for a foot or two they
won't even go back to patch it up. They
put in their cotton, which comes
up and starts to growing very nicely, but
if a little dry weather comes along the
.cotton turns sickly and they Bay the
guano burns it up. But it aint the
guano. It is the poor land that
burns it up. Now think about it.*
They put in that little streak of guano.
The plant comes up and grows rapidly
while it lasts, but so soon as the fertilizer
is exhausted, of course it dies down,
because there is nothing leit for it. to
feed on, so yon Bee it is the poor land
that does it. Now, to prove what
I say. If a hundred and fifty pounds of
guano scorches the cotton eo it won't
grow, two thousand ponnds ought to set
it afire, oughtn't it ? But it won't. It's
my experience that the more fertilizer
you use the more cotton you make, and,
in order to demonstrate the matter to the
satisfaction of everybody, I am going to
make a special experiment next spring,
and put two thousand pounds of guano
on one acre. And I'm not going to burn
anything up either. See if I do."
"On shares altogether. It is the most
satisfactory way of all. I furnish every
thing?the mules, tools and supplies.
The cropper furnishes nothing, but the
labor. If I make he makes, and if I lose
he loses ; so you see it is to his interest
to work, and the harder the better. .1
give them half of everything they make,
and that encourages them to make all
tbey can. Some people don't give but
two fifths, but let me tell you I get aa
much out of the half as any of them."
Mr. Barber is president and secretary
and treasurer of the Fishing Creek Man?
ufacturing Company, has a large store at
Leslie's and lives at Eichburg. He has
recently connected these three points by
a private telephone line and placed
himself within easy speaking distance of
all of them at once.? Yorkvi?c Enquirer,
? A humane blacksmith in Nevada has
built a cart with the axles bent so that
the horse is directly under it, sheltered
from sun and wind. The driver Bits in
front and other passengers sidewiss on
seats running lengthwise over the horse's
back. This is, of courae, a steering
apparatus, and also an arrangement
with a wide band under the horse,
bo that in going down bill that
animal can be lifted bodily off his
feet and given rest while the whole
out "coasts." And the lifting machine
comes into use if the horse tries to run
away, as a turn of the crank leaves him
working his legs in the air, but to no pur?
pose whatever.
? At Tucamohe, in Guatemala, the
boys in a school house recently seized the
master and hanged him in the school
bouse.
An Old Story.
When a man says he feels drowsy in the
spring, that his digestion is bad, and that
he don't feel well generally, he knows
that be needs something to give tone to
bis system, to purify bis blood and put
bis liver in proper condition to perform
the duties of organic life. He goes to his
physician with this same old story year
after year and the physician prescribes a
tonic and alternative. The best tonic in
a case like Urn is Dr. Westmoreland's
Calisaya Tonic. It acts charmingly on
the liver, purifies the blood and strength?
ens the system for its daily work. This
great medicine can be bought at all
druggists for fifty cents and one dollar a
bottle.
Yan?erbiltfs Forest of Pines.
The planting of trees on Mr. Vander
bilt's estate has been discontinued for the
present. One hundred and twenty acres
have been ploughed Up and planted with
white pines, which have been arranged
in rows seven feet apart with a space of
five feet between the trees in the Bame
row. This makes 1,200 trees to the acre.
The young trees are from fifteen to eigh
I teeb inches in height, and are obtained
from Mr. Douglas' nursery at Waukee
gan, near Chicago, which is one of the
largest in the United States. Only last
year Mr. Douglas had a contract to set
out three million of trees in Kansas. His
son is now employed as landscape gar?
dener at the University of California.
This univereity has 80,000 acres of land
which was given to them by Senator
Stanford. It is located about twenty five
miles from San Francisco, and has on the
estate a vineyard of 4 000 acres.
The white pines -.vhich have been *ct
out on the slopes where the limber has
been cut down, lake one year to root
themselves firm in the soil. The second
year they grow about one foot higher,
and every succeeding year they receive an
additional upward growth of three feet or
more. In three years from the time of
planting they will be ttt least six feet
high) and in this climate will attain a
maximum height of 450 feet. The idea
in planting them bo closely together is to
make them grow very tall and prevent
them from putting forth branches near
the ground. One thousaud acres are
yet to be planted, but by the time Mr.
Vanderbilt'a mansion is ready for occu?
pation the whole mountain side will be
covered with dense woods. Tbe sameness
of the timber land will be relieved by
planting many different kinds of trees at
the base of the hills and along the drives.
?Aakeville Citizen.
Horse Flesh as Food;
Over fourteen thousand horses are
slaughtered for human food every year
in Paris, says the Chicago Tribune.
When a horse becomes old and uselefis
the French people are too economical to
throw him away, rf hey eat him.
Horseflesh is eaten more or less in
every community, but generally under
cover of something else. In Paris it is
eaten openly. There are three horse
abattoirs and butchers' shops where
nothing but horseflesh is sold. History
would have had a bad opinion of Alex?
ander had be eaten Bucephalus, but
French soldiers eat their horses in every
war.
During the Crimean war, when the
British soldiers were starving, their
French comrades lived sumptuously on
horseflesh. Hippopbagists pretend that
horseflesh is sweeter aud finer in tbe
fibre than beef, and probably it is, but
horses are only banded over to tbe
knacker when they are emaciated old
hacks.
The horses killed in the Paris abattoirs
are a Bet of decrepit old invalids, except
a few that have been disabled by acci?
dent. The consumption of horseflesh
in Paris has doubled since 1881. There
are 300 asses eaten every year. This
small number in comparison with the
horsea is explained by the fact that don?
keys when old are exceedingly tough,
and one donkey will go a long way at tbe
dinner table.
Strangers in Paris will not easily find
a horsesteak for the asking, although it
may sometimes be adroitly palmed off
on them without the asking*. Horseflesh
is eaten by the poorest classes. It sells
at three or four cents tbe pound.
? There are many ways of curing a
corn, but the best is the shoe rest.
? A lady in Texas recently gave birth

?To cure a baby's colic, hold it by the
feet with the head down, for a few
seconds; repeat this if it still cries. This
is an old Irish remedy, which is really

which is probably the cause of the
colic.
? A man by the name of Davis in the
lumber woods of Ontario lost his wife

? Tbe human family to day consists of
about 1,450,000,000 individuals. In Asia,

now about 800,000,000, an average of 120
to tbe square mile. In Europe there are
320,000,000, averaging 100 to the square
mile. In Africa there are 210,000,000.
In America, North and South, there are
110,000,000 relatively thinly scattered and
recent. In the islands, large and small,
probably 10,000,000. The extreme of the
white and black are as five to three, the,

? The movement in favor of good roads
has crossed the Aileganiea and found a

Mahoning County, in that State, have
just decided to macadamize all the roads
under their jurisdiction. This move was
caused by an upriaing of the farmers and
taxpayers throughout the county who are
tired of swimming to and from home du?
ring seasons like the present. Tbe roads
in Mahoning County are said to be simply
horrible, and tbe estimated loaa to the
farmers who have been unable to market

GOOD NEWS TO ALL

N Christmas Eve our Dry Goods buyer, Mr. STRADLEY, went North, so that
while others have been enjoying the Christmas festivities at home, he has been
actively and profitably at work picking up such BARGAINS as can only be ob?
tained in New York just before the January stock taking. Judging'from the
number of invoices already received, and the prices,- we know that he is meeting
with unusual success. So that we will be enabled to oner still greater inducements
to the trading public than heretofore. We have a very large lotfof?
FLOUB, PROVISIONS ai GROCEIES Of ALL KINDS,
Plantation Tools,
nd, in fact, almost EVERYTHING that ia needed on a Farm. Remember, our
INVARIABLE RULE-*
IS SPOT CASH, AND ONE PRICE TO ALL.
We throw out no baits?everything is a leader with us. We ask not the pa?
tronage of auyexcept on strict, budoeas grounds.
If we cannot merit the patronage of the people we dou't aBk it, nor do we
expect it.
All we ask ia a fair and impartial trial.
Wishing all a happy and prosperous New Year,
Very respectfully,
