On Saturday next, April 2nd, The News will i.H.-ue its annual Easter Edition, which means this year 'the largest and special issue of The N. ws ever printed. The News has arranged for numerous special article' anil stories of peeulair in terest, and. in a’ldition to these, its own regular staff will exert itself to make the paper more attractive still. Os equal interest and attractiveness will be the special Fasti r bargain announce ments of Macon's livesl merchants. These are being at ranged with special care this year, and the ladies may look out for an unusually rare treat. Tin- Easter News will not only be an < specially int< r. sting and attractive newspaper, but it will be a bargain guide of great value to the tliousniids of Macon ladies who will make tin .bulk of the Eas ier purchases next week. The leading nierehants of .Macon will oiler special bar gains foi the week, ami it will pay every prospective buyer to wait for their an nouncements in lite .Easter News. But it will not pay the merchants to wait until Easter is here before making these announcements. The buying' begins tin earnest next week. The thing to do is to direct this trade your way. Your adver tisement in "I’lie Nows will reach those who have this buying to do. It affords yon a rare opport inity to bring them your way. It is your own fault if you fail to do it. All ad copy for the Easter News must be sent in before Friday noon. An English 'acrobat expects to come to tills country and poise himself, with one hand, on the top of the Washington mon ument. The funeral arrangements will be. announced liter, mentions the Augusta Herald. They Can’t Shake Him Off. It is a very cute trick of Colonel Candler and itis supporters to make It appear that Governor W. Y. Atkinson and his friends tire responsible for the opposition that is generally manifested against, him through out the state. The truth of the matter is that Colom 1 Candler is himavlf responsible for the deflei lion from his standard. He had no opposition anil would have had (none. save for his own foolish, cruel and unfounded charges against his fellow- Dctnoerats.- \upusta Herald. Now does the lb .all really believe that? Os course not. The Herald isn't such a fool that it failed to understand what was .transpiring several days in fore that Rome tetter was written. It knows very well that Governor Atkinson aroused this op position to Candler just as soon as lie re turned from Mexico to find that his friend Joe Terrell had quit the race- because of his tiro intimate connection with the gov ernor. It knows that this so rankled in Hill Atkinson's ast that he determined j to arouse opposition to Candler or die try ing. It knows tli'.t hi timtlli succeeded in pp'hing Spanner R Atkinson into the race, ord that forthw th the governor’s forces lined up for him. And the Herald was among the number. Hut we don't blame the Herald for being ashamed of it And we don't blame Spen cer R. from denying not only kinship but .all political connection with William Yates. The people, however, fully understand the ease. They are not so easily fooled as the Herald evid. ntly believes. They know that Colonel Candler's Rome letter —imply hit the ducks before they lit. That's all. Hon. Allen D. Candler’s initiative epci .-h in Rome Saturday was in its every sentence worthy of the honest. Strong and able man from which it emanated. It was in every sentence the speech of a fearless Democrat.— Times-Recorder. A Populistic Trait Revealed. As showing the propensity of the. aver age 1 opulis: for always desiring the im possible. the Woodbury Messenger, nee Woodbury Woodchuck, publishes at its mast head the following state ticket: For Governor—-Thomas E Watson For Attorney General-XJarey J. Thorn ton. For Comptroller General—Ben Milliken . For Secretary of State—R. o. Jackson. For State Treasurer—J. H. Taylor. Foy Commissioner of Agriculture—*W L (Peek. , K<.r State School Commissioner—B. M (Zottler. For Prison Comm -sioncr_.T g Davitt For Chief Justice—Walter B. Hill. For *ssc iate Justie*. Long T.nm— Ciair born Snead. For oeiate Justice, Short Term—-.W R. Leakin. Not only is the election of any one ot the above impossible, but not three of the gentlemen mentioned will accept the nom ination. This however, does rot deter the dyed in-the-wool Populist. On the contrary it makes him the more ardent in his support. IThere is something in his nature that makes him pine for the impossible. The (more impossible it is, the more docs' he (want it. And when he can arrange for himself a ticket that not only cannot be nominated—because none of the chosen victims will submit—but cannot be elected, •he is in the seventh heaven of Populistic ecstacy. From this standpoint the Woodbury Messenger, nee Woodchuck, seems to have arranged a ticket that should meet the views of all bona fide m:dlle-of-the-puddlo Populists. Good Reason for Delay. President McKinley is being sharply criticised for his st-' iniugly diliatory tac tics with reference io Cuoa, but it is Just j,. ibie that he is wiser than his critics :r. d laying an actual declaration of war as long as possible. If the president really intends to tem rarize with Spain, then these criticisms are just, but it is more probable that he is simply sparring for wind, so to speak. In other words, it is apparent to all that this, govern men i is net yet prepared for hos tiiitiis. ‘Ai have much to do before we are r. adv for the f ray, which, if it must come, promis.-s to b. short and decisive. President McKinley has evidenly had the proper conception of the situation, and for week.- past has'been doing all in his pawer to remedy it as rapiuly as possible. But, unlike the nations of Europe, the I i: 1 d States has never kept her army and navy in constant fighting trim, so that ■•• hen a emit!: t threatens she lias much to do to make ready. A i-ast- in point is a report, that comes from Washington to the- effect that the president has admitted -o a congressman, who v. ;i> urging in immediate declaration cf war, that there was not enough ammu nition in the country to last ten days in cas. of continued h.jiiities. He stated furthermore that our agents had been un able to obtain any considerable amount abroad and that Spain had some time ago secured all that was obtainable and that now thui country was '.veil supplied. If true, this alone is sufficient to justify the delay that is caused by the president's '-actios. At any rate, it it; very clear that it will not do for this country to go off half-coe'md. Better this delay than to a gun before we have ammunition enough to back up such an act. In the rti'antime, the president should and no doubt will, remain steadfast in the conviction that hostilities in Cuba must cc.se. lie yields nothing by referring the report on the Main’’ disaster to the Span ish govet iiinent. But gains a few more days In which to make ready for the strug gle that still seems inevitable. The editor of thr Americus Herald wants Ito tai a kfall out of the liuke of Veragua The Puke has seen fit to criticise President Mi ;< is.ley and the rest of the Anu richn people. It will be remembered that Ve ragua is a descendant of Christopher t'o- Juinbus ami that this nation paid him all p ohor when he was here a few years igo. It will also be remembered that he is, or was, virtually a pauper and the peo ple of the United States raised a large fund for him. Now he turns around and denouncos us in no uncertain terms. Such is tin gratitude of a Spaniard. The Columbus Herald is inclined to be jocular when it says that the frankness and the fairness of the Atlant* Journal during the present state campaign is to be corn in' mi’ I. :if it would include the Maion Telegraph and the Rome Tribune under lite sime head it would be positively hu morous. ’Americas Herald. A Kamas paper says: “Editor Stevens of the Galena Port, is lying at the point of (hath.” From thi- it is to be .inferred that, the old saying nh.iut the "ruling pas sion” ludd ifood in Editor Stevens' case. Senator Ilanna says he doesn't want, to buy Cuba But if she ever has a vote, hu’ll want to. liu;:s sml Hounds. In the Roman period not only wero sight hounds and scent hounds fully dif ferentiated, but tin ro were also various kinds oi lapdogs and housedogs, although none quite like our incdorn breeds. Even as far back as about 3000 B. C. Egpytian frescoes show not only greyhoundlike breeds, but one with drooping ears like a hound a«d a third which has been com pared to the modern turnspit, while house dugs and lapdogs came in soon afterward. W hot her any of these are the direct ances tors of modirn breeds or whether all such have been produced by subsequent cross ing is a very diilicult question to answer, more especially when wo recollect that if an ant tent Egyptian artist had to draw the portrait of a modern dog it would be viry doubtful whether it. would be recog nized by its .er or mistress. But- the record of the antiquity of the domest eatcil t:;:gs dues net even stop w ith the vtiriiost know n Egyptian monuments. Not only were such breeds known in Eu rope during the iron and bronze ages, but al; u during the antecedent neolithic or polished stone j cried, 'i'hceo have been de ti-.'ii'e:: by Professors Ruttimeyer and Woldrich, ar-d tho.-.u who are acquainted with the difficulty of distinguishing be tween some of the living species by the skulls alone will understand the laborious nature of the task, tftill these authorities appear to have made out that the Swiss neolithic dog(Cai-is p.alustris) had certain crania! resemblaitccs to both hounds and spaniels, and thus indicate an advanced type, which Ju considered to have been de rived from neither wolves nor jackals, but from somo species now extinct. Two oth er breeds have also been recognized from the superficial deposits of rhe continent, and if. as Is very likely to be the eajie, any or all of these races are tbo forerunners of seme cf the modern breeds it will readily be understood l-.ow comples is the origin of the mixed group which we now call Canis familiarls. Knowledge. Sfotiiivvul Students. We find a Paris scholar complaining of the disorders of the schools and expressing fear of personal violence, and a student at Toulouse writes that a certain P., against wbcm he had been w arned, before lead ing his heme in Naibonne, had taken forcible possession of his room and so disturbed him in his work that be would like per mission to go bun.e at Easter. At Orleans a young man pleads fc.r help from his fa ther because, having quarreled with a < ei tain youth, us the devil would 1-sve it, he struck him on ti e iKad with a stick, so that he is now in prisv u and must pay f-0 livres tor bis ielea.-e, while bis enemy is he.ited cf his wounds and goes free. pranks of students were not al ways seven iy judged we may perhaps in for fruiii the letter of a prt lessor of law at. Oiienns to lather at Besanccn in which it is said that, while no doubt the man’s .son G. was one of a crowd that had sung a ribald song on «>n organ, the matter was of nc impcrtaiicc, as the young man’s general record was good and he was mak ing excellent progress in law. Naturally, too, the examples cf parental reproof have something to say of the evils of the time, particularly gambling and riotous living, but in general the formularies reflect the more virtuous side of student life, and fo> a more adequate portrayal of its vice and violence we u ust turn to the records cf courts, the Goiiardic literature and the. vigorous denunciations of ecnteirq unn y preaeli ers.—A merica n Hi st or ica 1 Rev iew.

The meeting of council last night was one of the very shortest on record. Very few matters of any public importance came up except the report of the assessors and the meeting was al! over in about twenty minutes from start to finish. Only two aide: men were absent—Wiuship and Wil liams. A number of citizens petitioned that the Macon and Indian Spring car line be eom peil' 1 to run its ears in the middle- of the park on Third street instead of in the street as at present ami the petition was referred to the committee on streets. It Is not at all probable that the petition will be granted or that the company will be compelled to change its tracks as, unless the same rule is made to apply all over the city it would be working a palpable injustice beside the fact that it would destroy the appi arance of oue of the pret tiest parks in the city while the public would not find that the change would add to their convenience. Council showed its determination not to make fish of one and flesh of another by refusing the piiitioii of the Macon, Dublin and Savannah railroad to run its? telegraph wires on poles through tlie city instead of underground according to the ordinance. The sidewalk committee in reporting on a minor petition on chicken coops took occasion to express the hope that council would determine to prevent the placing of these obnoxious obstructions on the side walks of the city after the work of paving has been completed and all the grades and sidewalks have been laid. I have been afflicted with rheumatism for fourteeen years and nothing seemed to give me any relief. 1 was able to be around al Ithe time, but constantly suf fering.

Something About the Method of the Icono clast Editor. The readers of the Iconoclast, and its kindred publications, throughout the land, have a well developed curiosity concern ing the personality of the editor. They will be afforded the opportunity for grati fying same at an early day, as Mr. Brann is now on the lecture platform and will make the principal cities of the United States. .Brann is a marked man in many respects, in none, perhaps, so much as a lecturer. Os fine presence, possessing that unique quality termed personal magnet ism, a magnificent talker, he enchains the attention of all audiences and charms his hearers regardless of sex. Os Mr. Brann as a lecturer, the San Antonio Express has this to say: “Mr. W. C Brann lectured at the opera house last, night. Although the rain fell in torrents -all day and the streets were a sea of mud, there was a maafnifleent au dience present, the largest in fact that ever paid an admission fee- to a lecture in San Antonio. At a few minutes before 9 o’clock Mr. Brann made bis appearance on the stage unattended, he haviiig declined to allow any one to introduce him, saying that he ‘-needed no introduction to his friends, and could find his enemies with out a chaperone,’ The speaker drifted naturally into his subject proper, and for more than an hour and a half he held the great audience spell-bound with his wit and eloquence. He is intensely human. He ranges at wiil through the mighty realm of humbugery, striking right and left like a giant. liis nervous energy is terrific. It is electric; it fills the room and weighs upon the auditor li’ke an op pressive perfume." SPECIAL NOTICE TO CITI2JENS OF BELT .EVUE.

It is related that in the later forties, ot the* veof a Democratic state convention ir Alliany, Dean ilielnnond and PetcrCaggci were in consultation. Something like tbit was tlie dialogue between the two bosses: “Whom shall we put up for governor?’ asked Richmond. "Seymour will do. Ho is able, rospecta ble, popular and will render the ticket invincible,” answered Cagger. And Sey mour's name w ent down. ‘ Who tor attorney general?” queried Richmond '■ •- ‘‘Oh, Tremaine. «Hc is by fur the best of the lot Besides, wo want the Van Buren influence.” And down went Tre maine ‘'Who for secretary of state?” quoth Richmond. “Van Ness. He is capable anclrespect able, iim. we want the influence of th.’ Knickerbockers anyhow.” And down went Van Ness. And so it was until the ticket- was completed, with the exception of superintendent of education. “Peter; whom shall we name for that? There are three or four candidates. I never heard of either of them before,” said Richmond. “Oh, d: —n it,” returned Cagger, “let. the convention nominate the candidate for superintendent, of public education. ” And down that went too The following day the convention put through the slate so constructed in less than two hours. It required more than two days to nominate the candidate for superintendent of education.—Louisville Courier Journal CASTOR SA For infants and Children Vu fio- <7 sisiis is st qnww// er,T ?
