5;.W NATIONAL HYMN,
By Frank L. Stanton in The Atlanta
Constitution,
My country, ’tis of thee—
Sweet land of pensions free—
Of thee I sing !
Land where war told the tale ;
Land where the beef was stale ;
.Land where war generals rail
Like anything i
O he.tr me rise and shout ;
“Thank heaven I’m mustered out 1”
(That’s what I sing ! )
Fighting on sea and shore,
Ever for me is o’er ;
Bullets.and beef no more !
(That’s what I sing !)
Tines e is “something too much”
of this spoiled beef business.
C, F. Woods is one of the newly
elected aldermen at Flatonia.
While Rosa Macha, a Bohemian j
girl of 15 or 16years, was going from j
the Catholic school in this city to I
her home about three miles from
Weimar, at or near 5:30 'Thursday
afternoon, and when on the railroad
track about two miles distant from
town, she was assaulted by a negro
man,Who endeavored to rape her.
She struggled with the brute, who
finally released her, picked up a
rock, beat her into unconsciousness,
and then accomplished his vile pur-
pose. After this he took the girl’s
body and placed it on the railroad
track, with the evident intention of
having a railroad train hide thej
evidence of his foul crime. A train j
was due at that point soon after-j
ward, but fortunately, a passerby j
saw and removed the girl, stilt un-
conscious, ere her body was crushed i
and mangled. The girl’s skull was I
j badly bruised and crushed by thej
: rock, and her recovery is very doubt- j
j ful. The negro fled from the scene |
I of the awful crime, and is still at j
; large at this writing, (Friday morn-! -
ling), but o (fleers and citizens' are i |
j hot on his trail, and if captured 'j
| there is a possibility that swift and )
j severe punishment will be meted f
j out to him.—Weimar Mercury.

Why Cotton is Cheat).
In discussing this question in
.Farm and Ranch of April 8th, Mr.
Bryan Tyson says ;
"Ever since the war the quantity
of cotton grown in the United States
has been on the increase, while
that grown in the residue of the
.• rid has been on the decrease.
A-r a result} the United States now
ulnce about 85 per cent, of the
(■non oft lie world. Consequently,
i- we would now adopt proper
:. -aspres for decreasing the quan-
tify grown in the United States, we
tw dd raise the ni'ice-of cotton with-
o •; materially, at least without
detrimentally, increasing the quan-
■ grown in other counciies.
'Cotton planters, in order to get
of debt, frequently plant more
ton and work harder, but this is
the plan j it generally brings
dd age about ten years too soon
an finds them still in debt. A
Udder plan is to cultivate less and
)... ; nre a bettor profit.”
