Words amI ideas are characteristic of mid peculiar to rational human beings, and there is nothing by which one may so quickly determine the “true inward ness’’ of an individual. There are per sons of ninny words and persons of few Words, and here and there may he found one of no words at all. Wordy people, when once wound up, will run all titty without greasing. They take the most trivial subject fora text, and Imve been known lo “spit out" a nonpareil column on a doj; light or similarly insignificant topic. Such people do imt geiieralh eon- line themselves to one text, but scatter worse than an old time shot gun, and in their range strike fore and aft. What they don’t know is not worth knowing. If they should be struck with a really valuable idea they speedily smother it In a heap of trashy vcrbngo or run it to death on some impracticable trail. Such people I are voted a bore and a nuisance every- j where, and a listener begins involuntarily to count up funeral expenses when the battery of the inveterate talker is un covered, and “talked to dentil” is gen erally selected forjnn inscription on the monument of the deceased. All com munities are infested with people who talk against time. People who talk much do not I)ml time to act, and they generally evaporate into a sort of inferior gas, leaving the impres sion upon their friends that their mission in life was a failure, so far as the accom plishment of any tiling good or useful was concerned. Worth* people are “sized up" in the old nursery rhyme: •'Men of words and not of deeds Are like ft garden full of weeds." As to ideas, they are words of embryo They may he expressed in words or nets, or may prove to he mere abortions. What are termed "notioimtc people" probably have the most ideas, Imt like the idle fantasies of the bruin, they cul minate in nothing solid If we use the percentage of the last de ride for reproduction and the actual sta tistics for immigrants, it is clear we have now in litis country sixty-one million souls. An increase of 10) millions since 1880, and what this army of consumers means lo the industries of the country, the present good times clearly point out. Of this three nnd a half millions of im migrants the south has obtained very few. To give an idea, of the phenome nal growtli of a city catching this nriny of immigrants we cite that of Kansas City. A city whose age is that yet of a maiden, nr.d whose topographical posi tion is not inviting. In 1855, population 700 " 1877, “ 41,78(1 “ 188.0, “ 128,478 " 1858 her wealth was $1,802,000 1880 " “ '* $39,000,000 And yet we lmve seen the thermometer 10(1 degrees in tlicsliade continuously for three days in Kansas City. We have been there in the winter when we longed for Arctic furs, for we needed them. Tin* surface of the country in Ktunas City originally hud no surface. It is by na ture hills nnd holes, mainly hills. Co lumbus will soon he connected directly by rail with this prodigy of growth, and from her we can learn some useful les sons. This day nnd hour is full of possibili ties fortliesouth. We have an awakening knowh dgc of our own wonderful resources and power. The capital of the world is seeking the many opportunities o/l'ered here to increase itself. We should act in this matter by bringing to our midst the good people from otherstates ami abroad to till our hroml acres and add to our strength. The genial climate of this state, if it were hut known to many who almost freeze in the northwest, would attract thousands of the best citizens of the union. Our new railroads need a greater population lo add to their local receipts; it behooves them to invite im migration here. More people means more congressmen, greater dignity in the state and a better chance to enact such laws as will not discriminate against our own in dustries ami avocations. A city’s growth gives her that position which commands attention. Public buildings, free delivery, government patronage and new railroads and banks rarely come to either insignifi cant cities or those which are slow of growth. Benefits beget one another. Heaven helps those who help them selves. New-comers bring new ideas and new dollars. Brains and gold rule this sphere. It behooves a community to have them both. We invite settlers to come among us. I.et us do more than that, and add to our rapidly increasing attractions until they arc forced by self- interest to actually come and send for their neighbors and friends. People who have made “footprints in the sands of lime,” were not those of man) it leas, hut a few which were matured and developed into something tangible. One idea well run out and acted upon i.*- better than a thousand which arc allowed to slip through the mind as idle dreams. Schemers and dreamers are numerous, hut they are not tin* mi n and women who run the world on a successful line. People who talk least are apt to lie the ones who think and art most. Specialities arc as good for life as they are for trade. Those who live and net to purpose are those who carry nqt a single leading idea. Witness the pi tel, the artist, the statesman, nnd those w ho rise high in the professional or mechanical walks of life. Words to he valuable must he weighed: ideas to eventuate in success should he diligently pursued. WASTED MOKE l’KOI'1,1. We have always believed if the south ern people would make their summer pilgrimages to the west instead of to the northern states it would result in much AXARCHY AMI THE ANARCHISTS. The anarchists' trial is over, the blood thirsty cowards have been found guipy of murder, and the country breathes freer. Hut litis circumstance, now that or valuable, the bent of passion is all in the past, gives ample scope for careful reflection. I’liicago found itself face to face with an insurrection of anarchists one day when tin( one man in a thousand of the peonli* of that city really believed in the existence of the body that math* the in surrection, and when neither the regular police nor (lie ordinary civil authorities looked upon the spiiutcrs of anarchy as serious or dangerous persons. And one good and natural reason for litis surprise is that authority is practical and pro vides only against evils that it ran tu - (lerstand. it erects no barriers against chimeras, and no rational mail in ibis country could, in tlu* absence of such c\ i- deuce as has been given, comprehend the anarchist threat as anything hut a chimera. Authority did not take ste,.s against what, judged front the common- sense views of our people, seemed only n I visionary evil. The anarchical proposi tion is tlu* total abolition of all organized authority in the states, because till the political and organic machinery of the states is. through its costliness, a burden upon the industry of the people, nnd in principle of an nnurehiul society, which is a division of the goods of those who have among those who Imve not. But the event in Chicago perhaps had to come. Nobody could huve believed that men would organize such murders for such a purpose unless the fact that they I did actually do so lmd come to pass. Now that it is proved, now that there | can 1 e no possible doubt of the point, other cities will know how to deal with all organizations for indiscriminate mur der which call themselves anarchists. A FAMILY OF FIVE SISTERS. No other commonwealth in all this union 1ms more cause to ho proud of her daughters than the empire statu of Geor gia. Herself one of the greatest and grandest of all the stules, her daughters Imve been reared and educated to imitate the old mother in everything looking toward enterprise and. the higlie.-t cul mination of that which is good. Her live eldest daughters are regarded as worthy j examples for imitation by the younger ! children, and upon them rests a greater responsibility than that of simply taking J care of themselves. But these larger i grown sisters arc in trouble, in trouble I which appears to he serious, though we hope will not prove fatal. Sister Macon, tHo beauty and wit of Georgia’s daughters, was badly spoiled in raising. High spirited and impetuous, slit* has fallen out with courts and magis trates and become impatient tit the law’s 1 delays, and having executed one man on ; suspicion, threatens to turn over the whole criminal law into tlie hands of "one hundred of her best citizens.” Go I slow, sister—go slow; better give Judge Simmons and twelve jurors another I chance. Mohs are nuitli easier organ ized than controlled. Then Sister Atlanta, who married rich | a ml has been trying to outshine nil the family with her line houses and fast : horses, lias recently iiliected high moral ideas, and has gone slightly wild over prohibition. Now, prohibition is a good thing; hut in her imperious way Atlanta lias been pushing the liquor men to the wall, and they are strikin^ hack, and from flic doleful sounds that have reached our ears it looks like somebody has been hurt. We admire your pluck, sister, and approve your morality, hut it may lie that both of these has outrun your prudence. As for sister Augusta, staid, solid, in dustrious old lady that she is, we knew that she would never go wrong. And so it is that those troublesome fellows, the Knights of Labor, have gone among her children and persuaded them that they have been defrauded of their just earn ings. This has caused them to strike,and our industrious old sister is greatly dis turbed. No hen over her chicken could | be more anxious than she is to have this j trouble end and all return to their work, [hit Augusta is ivise, prudent and just, and with such qualities we have conli- I lidcnce that she will soon work mil her own deliverance. She has our hearty ! sympathies and could get our aid. but -lie don’t need that. Sister Savannah, however, lias m;:- prised us. With ail Iut dignity anti high breeding, with her wealth am! wisdom, her age ami experience. -lie is the acknowledged head of the family. And now that our aristocratic sister should it; ■ - gone crazy over bn-t* hall is astonishing, it does not become you, sister Savannah, and we are mollified at your (*111111111*1. You ought to have set your younger sisters a hotter example than this. Hut they are all Georgia’s daughters and sisters of Columbus, and though we may laugh at their folly, yet we sympa thize witii their distress. Being the youngest and poorest of the family, we have tried to conduct our- j selves in such a milliner as not to bring reproach on our mother and sisters, and , whilst we do not claim tile right to re built' them, yet we must say. sisters, that j we are not mad and have no i thought of giving you up or not speaking to you, yet we do wish volt hadn’t acted so, I and we four your zeal lias outrun your discretion.

The horror of doubt and the thrill of hope alternately triumph, and the ecstacy of heaven dies out and the suffocating truth often forces itself up that we have said our last good-bye to those who cannot struggle only by copying from our advertisements. 260 DOZEN OF THE BEST One Dollar Unlaundried Shirts, Reinforced, Patented, Just Re ceived, price this week (all you want) 53 cents.

Although younger as a state by seventy years. Iowa has mote population than Georgia. 1’he percentage of increase in popula tion during the last decade was 30 per cent, in this state; 207 percent, in Ne braska. More people means more wealth. The assessed wealth of Iowa is one hun- supposcs an ideal condition of humanity us a starting point, and has been brought hither, like the cholera, in the baggage of penniless immigrants. But a philosopher sits in lib corner ami imagines that a state- a great aggre gate of human creatures—is only a larger beehive: that the grand point or purpose of life i- industry, and that ail people who are aside from the laboring fraterni ty, and yet must live upon the fruits of tin* labor, art* para-ites, drones, burdens and, consequently, evils; nml Unit in a perfect slate they would be done away with, and lie so classes all tin* otllocrs of government, till public functionaries of whatever sort, as evils to be abolished.
