But alas ! alas! the goddess of fortune had averted her face again, the night was closing in, and snch things were nev. er <o he.

Now that Governor Gordon Las open¬ ly rebelled against the convict ring, any¬ thing in relation to the subject upper¬ most in the public mind may ba read with interest certainly and pertiaps with profit.

A CHANGE IN THE REGISTER With the last-issue of -the Regis¬ ter, we commenced the publication of a paper dispensing with “ready prints.” Except for a short time when the paper was first establish¬ ed, and a few mopths in 1880, tlie Register has always used a read print on either the inside or outside Hereafter everything it contains will be printed in our office at Cames¬ ville. Instead of the eight page paper that we have issued far several months past, we have reduced it to its former size, that is, four pages of seven columns each. Becoming satisfied that our readers prefer the paper of its present size, printed at home, to a larger paper with a pat¬ ent inside, we d eciaed to make the change,which is a considerable saving of money to us., We have also re duccd the priee to one dollar per annum- We are sure no one can complain at the price, and believe no reasonable man can find serious fault with thc\ cpntents of the paper* It is to the interest of every good and progressive 1 citizen, to have a paper ... in Ins county, and ^ prosperous jf as many persons would take ifctcrcst in extending our circulation as are engaged iw boosting papers prinldd at a distance, we could make ' stei ich ’--------- more valuable to f,table to lU'J, i J ttipwi ted I our pectatio'n's, and are grateful' to the people of this, and other comities for their patronage and words of cheer. We believe, however, Uiat the ex¬ pense we have incurred, and tho la¬ bor we bestow upon the paper, do serve a more liberal patronage than we have yet received, We hope our subscribers will interest , themselves in extending our circula¬ tion, and that they will from time to time furnish us with such items of local news, as will be of general in¬ terest to our readers. ATTENTION! Ordinary and County Commiss¬ ioners, There is a case in Camesville that demands the immediate-considera¬ tion of the Ordinary and County Commissioners. John Williams (col became suddenly and severely afflic¬ ted more than eleven months ago. Since that time he has been uaubio to work, and has for, a long time been unable to walk. He is unable to get out of bed or bacF on it again when he is helpoil up, ^ -disease °f ?. brofudtic character aud invol¬ ves one leg from near the hip to below th* knee.* He really needs almost constant attention. He has a wife aad four children, thc oldest a boy in his eleventh year, the next boy of nine years, aad two very small girls. It is impossible for them to make a support, furnish medicine and wait upon John properly, lie •is not a fit subjeet for the poor house, ke would soon die .there.

As William J.

You’re better now than you have 'boon for a good while, and will live for many years yet.” “It’s not because I feel' sick,” re¬ plied Mr. Martin, .“but I can’t get rid of the idea that 1 will be dead in less than an hour/'’ Half tn hour later Mr. Martin foil back in hi# chair, and after eonvu siVely gstsping for breath for a few ininiites,' expired "TTyBfefittM were summoned and pronounced death to have resulted from apoplexy.

The other day a schooner was quietly sailing along, a few miles below Jacksonville aud the pcoplo on the shore wer6 languidly watching her. It was a perfect day. No suggestion or hint of a storm had been made. Scarcely a breath of air disturbed the tropical forest# that bordered the majestic live Suddenly aud without tlie slight¬ est warning, a gist of wind descen¬ ded from tho clear sky. With one tierce whirl it lashed the water into a white foam. The large schooner was lifted until its keel rested light¬ ly o* the surface of the water. Then sli* was twistod round like a styaw, aud turned upside down. The whoio thing was done in lets than fiv e second*. All on board perished .There tvas not time even to leap from tho v*8»cl.

Henry George advoqato the re¬ moval ef all rettrictions upon {he IN quor traffic and the abolition of all taxes upqn the stuff itself.

Mr. George’s theory of putting all the taxes on land, and relieving the personal pro¬ perty and buildings of tho rich from nssesment^unffed with the plan for making^ liquoy cheap and plenty, must certainly ,be regarded as a very singular way to go to work to bene¬ fit the working people.— New York World.
