S CURIOSITIES OF S
* «
GEORGIAS CENSUS J
The third part of the compendium ol
the Eleventh. Census, has just been is
sued from the department of the in
terior.
This valuable volume is a mine of in
formation and to those who take pleas
ure in exploring the intricacies of its
statistical columns, breathing into the
dry corpse something of life it offers
much that is entertaining, says the Au
gusta News. •
It is shown that the native born pop
ulation of the United States in. 1890
numbered 53,372,703 and constituted
85.23 per cent of the total population.
It is interesting to note the varying de
grees of satisfaction which have marked
the people of the various states as ex
hibited by the propotion of those; who
were born in the state in which they
were enumerated. For the entire coun
try the average is 78.45 per cent. In
this respect the South Atlantic division
of states leads the Union, as more than
90 per cent of the inhabitants were born
in the states in which they were enum
erated, while in this, division South
Carolina leads all the rest, 97.20 of the
population having been born in the
limits of the state. North Carolina
comes next, then Virginia, and then
Georgia, with 91.60.
Thirteen Georgians were born of na
tive parents either at sea or in foreign
countries, while in the whole country
5.533 were born at sea.
The total population of Augusta in
1890 is given Ot 33, 300, of which 1,208
were foreign born.
The argument that the southern peo
,ple are the most distinctly American in
this country is supported by the facts
that the South Atlantic and South Cen
tral divisions together contained less
.than 6 per cent of the foreign born
while 44 per cent were in
the North Atlantic diviaiorf.
The rate at which our foreign popu
lation is increasing may be seen from
the following per centgges: In 1850,
9.68; in 1860, 13.16; in 1870. 14.44; in
1880, 13.32; in 1890, 14.7.
One-third of these aliens in 1890 were
unable to speak the English language.
What becomes of the cast of Vere de
Vere when 20 per cent of Savannah’s
citizen are of foreign parentage, against
less than 18 per cent in Auguta? a
Statistics of conjugal condition are
presented for the first time in an Amer
ican census and it gives some interest
ing facts. Only one-third of the popu
lation in 1890 was in the matrimonial
state, one-twentieth widowed, while
one-fifth of one per cent were di
vorced. The grim fact is presented
that widowed and divorced males nave
remarried to a greater extent than fe
males of the same class. Twenty per
pent of the women of the country over
twenty years of age were unmarried,
while 31 per cent Os the males over 20
were in single] blessedness. The pro
portion of divorces was smaller In the
South Atlantic states than in any other
part of the country.
There were 23 males and 14 11 females
under 15 years of age in the whole
country who were married, 165 of the
females being in Georgia.
Such are a few of the curiosties of the
census.

i | AN EMPLOYER’S ADVICE |
“ !J» Why ■’* Men Should Take a
’• ip Summer Vacation Jj
j The man who fails to take a vac; -
. tion does an injustice to himself, his
. family, his employee, his country, and
• his God.
. ( This may seem a little strong lan
guage, coming from one whose hair is
• silvered with the frosts of many winters
; in a hardware store, and whose feet, if
not in the grave, are standing upon the
edges thereof. But it is out of this old
, age. and the experiences it has gained
for him, that I feel justified in making
as strong a statement as that contained
in the above, siys a writ r to Hnd
ware.
When I was a boy those in the mer-
cantile class did not know what a set
vacation was. When I served as clerk
we opened the store at 7 o’clock in the
morning and kept it open until 9
o’clock at night, 365 days of the year,
with the exception of' Sundays-;, and
the old man for whom I worked would
have run her right open all day Sunday
if the coummunity had approved: of
such a procedure and had some to jnsy.-
When a town was filled with strangvrs
and merry-makers, on the Fourth of 1
July find other days of jubilee, we
boys were kept back of the counter
from morning until night, and a re
quest for the elosing of the store on
such occasions would have been al
most equivalent to handing? in our
resignations-. I believe we di&sbut up
on Christmas Dey, but not on- Thanks
giving or New
If one of the boys wished a- day off
once or twice a year, for some-special
occasion, such as a picnic, or the-burial
of a grand mother, he- could sometimes
obtain it, provided he-stood highiiu the
graces of the old man. The person- who
had been filled with a sufficient amount
of manhood and desperate courage to
have suggested two weeks’ vacation to
each of the employes during the sum
mer months would have been looked
upon as a spendthrift, or one in whose
head more wheels had been generated
than were necessary for the proper
origination and propulsion, of his ideas.
I have three clerks in my store-, in
addition to a young lady bookkeeper
and I wish to tell you. merchants that I
would regard it as a piece of almighty
poor business policy if I did not give
each one ot these a full week’s vacation
each year.
In the first place, I see that they, earn
it during the remaining fifty weeks. In
the second place, I get more good value
out of them in the course of the year
than I could if their noses were kspt at
the grindstone during the whole pariod.
In the third place, no man’ has a right,
morally, religiously, economically, or
patriotically, to cheat a fellow-beiag out
of that which is his natural due; and I:
believe that in the economy of tnta uni
verse God as much intended that, the
clerk should have a period of bountiful
rest io the country, among the trees
and flowers, and the thousand and
one attractions that a man meets
when away from brick and mortar, as
he intended that the flowers, and the
trees and the birds and the running
brooks and good fishing should be
scattered promiscuously through this
broad land of ours, with an invitation
to man to go forth and enjoy them.
I always take two weeks’ 1 vacation
myself, and am the better man because
of it. Sometimes my family go with
me, and sometimes Igo alone, but in

FOUND DEAD.
Why did he do it? He had everything
to live for, —happy home, wife, friends,
money; but he shot himself through the
heart. Why ?
He couldn’t have given a good reason
himself. But everything looked gloomy
to him. He was in a gloomy frame of mind.
It was the way he looked at life that day.
He had been living in too much of a hurry,
rushing and driving at business, hustling
through his meals, cutting short his sleep.
His nerves got on edge ; bis stomach and
liver got out of order; he grew dyspeptic
and melancholy.
When the digestion Is out of order there
is little use trying to look on the bright side
of things, practically there isn’t any bright
side. This is a dangerous condition to get
into. Yet it is easy to get into and mighty
i hard to get out of it, unless you go about it
in the right way.
, There is a remedy that has pulled thou
sands of people right out of this depth of
despair. It is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery. It acts directly upon the stom
ach and liver. It restores their natural
capacity to nourish and purify the system.
I It purges away bilious poisons, feeds the
’ nerve-centres with healthy, highly vitalized
blood, and drives out the “b>ue devils” of
melancholy and nervousness.
• I. L. Warner, No. 1900 O Street, Sacramento.
Cal., writes: " During the last five years I have
been doctoring with ns many as six different doc
tors here and m San Francisco for diseased stom
" ach; but none of the doctors gave me even tem
, porary relief. Two years ago I completely col
lapsed. and had to give up all work. I have fell
many times that I would like to leave this world,

do no good.
You sent her two boxes? of your

used up the two boxes and they are pro

For nervous and sick headache; in
digestion, general debility, loss of flesh

Tablets will come-as an Ange! of Mercy..
When in your city, you told me- the j

anyone will be safe in trying the ,

It may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the liver
and kidneys and aids these organs in
throwing off impurities in the blood.
Electric Bitters improves the appetite,
aids digestion* and is proilbunced by
those who have tried it as the very best
