Land often sells at fictitious and unreal prices, hut when a lady gives !Sd2 a yard for cloth it is worth it. Columbus is still ahead. An unknown little two-year-old boy, who was saved from the wreck of the .1. M. White in which his parents perished, is in the hands of the New Orleans au thorities. It is creditable to human na ture to know that a large number of wealthy and respectable pet pic arc con tending for the privilege of adopting the child. It has been stated by a number of pa pers in the south of late that the Ameri can Cotton Oil Trust was in some way connected with or operated by the Stand ard Oil Company. Wc are officially in formed that no Buch connection exists ; that the two institutions are entirely dis tinct, and that the management and the business of the one arc in no wise con nected with the management and busi ness of the other. Nl’KAKKIt LlTTIiK AMI TIIK IIKMAilOIIHES. The recent movement toward erecting a state technological school in Atlanta was hailed by the intelligent people of the state with delight, for it showed thut Georgia was keeping pace with the other great states of the union in the increase of her educational facilities. A day or two before the legislature adjourned, however, a certain element among the colons attempted to practically kill the bill creating the technological school by the introduction of a resolution in the house prohibiting the beginning of work op the building before the duly session of the legislature, at which time, if the work had not been begun, it might have been possible to have killed the enterprise for good and forever. It was at the juncture of the introduction of this resolution that Speaker Little threw himself in the breach and saved the school for the benetit of the people in all time to come. Mr. Little’s argument and appeal for the school were overwhelming, and he car ried the hearts and the votes of the members with him. It is needless to say that the resolution and the man who in troduced it were completely squelched. Muscogee county has boon well repre sented in this legislature, by her entire delegation. But in view of this one par ticular episode and its result, Mr. Little deserves the thanks of Muscogee county for the statesmanship and ability that he brought into play at a crisis when it was most needed; and Muscogee county deserves the congratulations of the en tire state for sending such a man ns Speaker Little to represent her interests an<l those of all the people. There’s nothing Little about our representative but his name, and there’s nothing in a name, lie is the pilot that prevented the wreck oft ho technological school hill, and as such the people will not forget him. IIIIW TO CELEBKATK CHKISTJtAS. How should we celebrate Christmas? The question is full f significance, when properly considered, and it is one that every Christian must answer for himself, irrespective of the answer that others may make for themselves. The answer of the world, and even of the greater portion of society, is frivolous and irreverent. In but too many cases it is almost blasphemous—it is shocking. At the best, and for the most part, the day is regarded as a holiday, and in no wise as a holy day. Probably to a very large proportion of the people of the United States Christmas day presents no claim superior to that of the fourth of July. It is a holiday and nothing more. The people of Columbus are no more wicked than other people—if this be any comfort—but the world is not as good as it ought to be. One redeeming feature shines out amid the smoke and din and rubbish with which the day is oftentimes marred. It is a day «f happiness to children. But, strangely enough, even to them the whole signifi cance of the occasion is lost. To their minds it is the celebration ol the coining 1 of Santa Clnu“, not of Jesus Christ i eighteen centuries ago. Ask your own j child, and mark his answer! Tnere are many who look for a second coming of the Lord. In a day when we look not for him, and in an hour that you are not aware of, lie is coming— coming as unexpectedly as a thief in the night. How is it with you? Suppose He were to come to-day, and to this city,and were to arrive hero in the midst of our pretended rejoicings over His birth. Should we he glud or ashamed of our Christmas? Who would be ready, and ruu to meet Him? Who would hide from Him? Whose guest would Ho be? Would he walk our streets alone, as sorrowful as when lie walked the streets of Jerusalem in the day of Ilis humiliation and repudiation ? What a reception ! What an account ing! What a kindling of fires on cold altars! What a closing of bar-rooms! Wlnit reminders to children as to whose day it is! What sudden kindness to the poor! What shrinking and sluimo and humiliation I What self-conviction. But He will not come to-day. The master of the house has gone on a far journey, and we, IIis stewards, arc at liberty to cat and drink and he merry, and to celebrate Ilis birthday in a way to bring reproach on liis name, if we are so minded. There, however, is another way of ob serving Ihe day. It is not a day for Puri tanical or Pharisaical fasts and observ ances; it is a day of rejoicing. Thrice hh ssed is the heart that can rejoice in it, and that knows why and how to rejoice. And to know why is to know how. lie who believes in his heart that lie is cele brating the birth of the Son of God, of Ilim who brought life and immortality to light, will not need to he told how to celebrate that event. Or, if lie needs to he told, he need not go very far to learn The Shepherd Kings showed the way and sot the example many centuries ago, when they took gifts in their hands and laid them at the feet of the babe that lay in the manger; and the Christ himself has left full instructions for your guidance. But you need not go to Bethlehem, for Ho is nearer to you than that, lie lias appointed His representatives in every city and town and hamlet to receive whatever is intended for Himself, “and whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only * * * shall in no wise lose his reward.” It is not so much what you give as the spirit in which it is given, and the reward is sure in any event. Try it, and you shall seo. There are many poor people in this city who are without the necessaries of life. God knows, and you know—if you will allow your selfish mind to think of it for a moment—you can find plenty of objects whereon to exercise your charity among the poor, if you are inclined that way. It is only a question of whether or not the spirit nnd grace of Him whose birthday you celebrate, and lo whose deathday and resurrection you profess to look for your right to eternal life, are in your heart. If they are, then you will be at no loss how to cell brute Christmas. And if you do not so celebrate it to-day, and next year, and all the days between, wlmt then? You have just read one promise ; here is another ; “Then shall lie answer them, saying, Verily 1 say unto you, in asmuch as ye did it not to oneof the least of these, ye did it not to Me.” TIIK BAY UKVOHK CIIUISTMAS. Say wlmt you will of the joys of Christ mas Day, the day before Christmas has a charm of its own which makes it, in some respects at least, the happiest day in the year. Its joys aro in both action nnd anticipation, and there is little room for disappointment. Wlmt is attempted for the gratification of others will surely bring its reward, and it is not yet time to know that a single expectation will re main unfulfilled. To-day there is Christinas in the air and, let us hope, in our hearts. Each one works with might and main, for a holiday is upon us and a delightful fla vor of mystery gives an unwonted aroma to the most prosaic household. Mis shapen parcels at rive by day and night, which are seised and concealed as eager ly as though life and death depended on it. There is a merry stir in the pantry and kitchen. Faint whiffs of savory odors are wafted from doors ajar. There ;s scant opportunity to ho irritable or meditative, for every moment must be given to completing the gift-buying nnd gift-making—the thousand and one lov ing preparations—which are never en tirely ended until Christmas dawns. The children—and there are more chil dren of larger growth this day than on any other day in the year—tremble with suppressed eagerness and gleeful expec tation. Mark how they watch with glistening eyes each package which enters at the front door or is smuggled in by the side gate. The big brothers and sisters, and father and mother too, tingle with the electrical excitement which pervaded the Yule-tide breeze, and even when they look for nothing for them selves, find this day the gladdest of days because of the joy they can to others give, and for the peace which is in their hearts. Far be it from us to scoff at the joys of possession. What is worth winning is best when won. Retrospection, too, has its blessedness, if for no other reason than because it dulls the edge of the pain which was once so sharp, and adorns with flowers of celestial beauty tlio graves in which so many youthful hopes lie hurled. But the joy of looking forward has one surpassing advantage. While it lasts there is no regret, no dis appointment, no suspicion that the boon which is craved is Dmd Sea fruit at last. And so it is that the day before Christ mas, when there is more of hope nnd anticipation for the whole Christian world than at any other time, is the gladdest, merriest, most joyous day of the year. The hopes and the eager ambitions which have birth in thoughts of to morrow will keep us from any despair that may lie in the heart of the past,and before wo are quite aware there will dawn a morning that shall know no night. Then the best of yesterday and to-morrow shall meet anil mingle in u blessed to-day, and wo shall no longer speak of the past or the future, hut in the fulness of inexpressible content will say, “Eternity ath triumphed over time!” THE CIIHDMCliK’S MAP. The Augusta Chronicle is one of the best papers in Georgia. The Chronicle got out a splendid “Georgia edition” a few days ago, and the issue on that occasion was well worthy the journalise enterprise of the south. We say this even if the Chronicle did credit our article to the Columbus Times. The Atlanta, Savannah and Charleston papers seem disposed to treat the Chronicle’s map in a decidedly humorous way— in fact, they poke fun at it. The Atlanta Journal says: “The Augusta Chronicle has a map showing Augusta us the centre of the southeastern com mercial world -the huh, so to speak, ofthispirt ol'the universe. Poor Atlanta is chucked out one side, and stands shivering m the cold like a p ror hoy at a husking. *Th a lino map, nevertheless, and from our other periphery we can exercise the magnanimity of congratulating the Chronicle on its enterprise.” The plucky Augusta Evening News thus comes to the rescue: What if the Chronicle did chuck out Atlanta to one side, it is nothing more than she deserves. When our new system of railways is completed the Chronicle can go to work and enlarge its present circle, and include both Charleston and Atlanta. There is no limit to the possibilities of Augusta’ i commercial future, and the sooucr At lanta and Charleston and other cities realize this fuet the better for them. The Macon Telegraph says that the Atlanta Constitution has always wanted the world, but now that they have a chance to get one they are kicking about it. Our Macon friends are mis taken. It is the earth the Constitution wants, not. the World. Tiie Cincinnati Tlmes-Star says: The En quirer-Sun, a paper published at Columbus, that pretty little ei*y that thrives on the banks of the Chattahoochee, is one of the handsomest papers published in Georgia. The Times-Star certainly docs not know that Col limbus is a city of 25,000 inhabitants, lias five million dollars invested in manufacturing indus tries alone, has the largest cotton mill in the south, the largest iron works south of Richmond and the most complete flouring mill in* a dozen states, or it would not speak of “a pretty little city.” The truth of the matter is Columbus is very near as big as the Enquirer-Sun.
