The question now with the Atlanta

A man who has served one term as

Mr. Joseph W. Rapp, a young man,
■w ho is chief clerk in the distribution de¬
partment of the Atlanta post office, was
arrested a few day s ago, and sent to jail
charged with opening a letter and tak
* n g therefrom valuable contents. The
trap set to catch him was a decoy letter,
which contained $1.25. The penalty
such an offense is from one to five
hard labor in the Albany fN. Y.J peniten¬
tiary. Boys, you should reir ember that
“opening letters and removing
contents,” is a dangerous practice.

A man named Logan, of Birmingham,
Alabama, claims that he has discovered
perpetual motion. He has constructed a
machine with cogs and wheels which he
claims will perpetually run without any
motive power to propel it. It lias been
running ten days, with no sign of stop¬
ping, and is still going, He will soon
give a public exhibition of its working,
and will proye himself a real live crank,
or the greatest genius the world has ever
produced,
Prohibition is the “leading question" in
Atlanta, and whenever they undertake
to do anything, politically or other¬
wise, it is their in'.y division, If a corn
niittee is to be raised, one half of it must
be from the prohibitionists, and the other
half from the anli side. This is the rule,
and it prevails where democracy should
rule the hour, This state of things ought
not to exist in our great capital city, In
fact it impels us to the exclamation :
“How long, oh Lord, Jiow long,” is this
state of affairs to exist T
The Star never says anything about
anyone for the purpose of injury or mis¬
representation. Especially is this true of
what we say about our exchanges. Ail
we intend is a little pleasantry, of which
we are exceedingly fond. We trust our
good neighbors of the sprightly Daily
Madisonian will hear this in mind. In
all the little thrusts made at it, nothing
is intended beyond pleasantry, as we have
nothing but the highest esteem and res¬
pect for its editors, whom we regard as
our personal friends. This is said that it
may know there is “no canker harbored
in our bosom to inspire bitterness," for it
or ativ one else.
Atlanta is now reaching out for a rail¬
road to connect her with the Mississippi
liver on the west, via Sheffield, Ala., and
with the Atlantic on the east by way of
Waynesboro. This road would be 352
miles long, and no doubt would be a great
advantage to Atlanta, if she can get it.
A meeting of business men of Atlanta
Was held in the Constitution office, a few
d tvs ago, to discuss the matter, and Col.
Evan Howell was made chairman. He
was authorized to rppoint a committee,
of which he is chairman, to take the
proper steps to secure a charter for the
y
new road from the coming legislature.
We hope the road will-be built at an early
day, and we believe its proper route will
be through or near Covington.
The Macon Telegraph thinks most men
will sign anything but a temperance
pledge or a promissory note. In this we
beg leave to differ from our facetious
contemporary. We know of just lots of
men who will not only sign the temper¬
ance pledge, but will sign a promissory
note, and if you lose it, or it wears out,
they will give yon another, rather than
cheat you out of what they owe you.
And when it comes to signing petitions,
they will always do the liberal thing.
They will sign a petition to-day asking the
governor to co inmute the death sentence
of John Smith ; to-morrow they will sign
another asking the governor to pardon
him; and the next day they will sign a
third, asking the governor not to interfere
with the courts, but to let the execution
of the law proceed. Oh 1 no; there is no
trouble about getting men to sign any¬
thing.
The Griffin opera house has closed fur
the balance of the season. This looks a
little strange, as the season has hardly
opened. But the News says it did not
pay the past season, and the proprietors
having naturally become more practical
than public spirited, have closed their
doors for the balance of the season. We
fully agree with the News that public
spirit is a mighty good thing in its
place, but it must be sustained by public
liberality. Even the hardest granite rock
will ultimately wear away under the con¬
tinuous dripping of water, and the public
spirited owners of opera houses cannot
hold out always against the friction of a
lack of public spirited liberality on the
part of the show going public. We regret
to learnthe true lovers of amusement in
Griffinare to be shut out from the pleasures
afforded by the Griffin opera house, but we
suppose it cannot be avoided. We trust
such will never be the fat© of our own
beautiful Simms Music Hall.

for transmitting power, which Mr. Powell
has been constructing for Mr. Charles A.
Launius, has not been carried to the state

The State Fair.
The state fair opened in Macon, last week,
and will continue through the present week
The agricultural exhibit is said to be the largest
and finest ever seen in the state. The poultry
show is large, and is perhaps the finest ever
seen in Georgia. A large amount of
machinery is on exhibition, and, taken as a
whole, the fair may be said to be a success.
Large crowds arc in attendance daily.
Some Fine Cotton.
Dr. J. J. Dearing has a stalk of cotton on ex¬
hibition, at his store in Covington, which is quite
a curiosity. It is of the “Dearing Improved
Small Seed Variety,” and the stalk has 255 well
grown, open bolls upon it. The seed of this
variety are smaller than the seed of the common
varieties, and the doctor informs us it is safe to
calculate that 42 per cent, of lint is obtainable. He
has another stalk, which has 360 full grown bolls
upon it, and as soon as they are open, he will
place it upon exhibition at his store, He has
been experimenting in the improvement of cot¬
ton for the past ten ’years, with a view to the
increase of the per cent, of lint, as well as to
the prolific character of the variety, His ex •
periments have resulted in the extraordinary
production of the stalk on exhibition, which
makes possible the remarkable yield of at least
9,000 pounds, or six bales of cotton, to the acre.
A Warning to Delinquents,
A newspaper in Illinois recently enter¬
ed suit against forty-three men who would
not pay their subscriptions, and obtained
judgment in each case for the full
amount of the claims. Of these, twenty
eight made affidavit that they owned no
property in excess of what the law allow¬
ed them, thus preventing an attachment.
Then under the new law of congress
making the taking of a newspaper from a
post office without paying for it an in¬
dictable offense, they were arrested for
petit larceny and bound over in the sum
of $ 8,000 each, All but six gave bail, and
the others went to jail.
Every Farmer Needs It.
The October issue of "Dixie,” just out, is a
model in every way, and no Southern farmer
can afford to be without this excellent journal
on his table. Especial attention is paid to
mechanical matters and the “Dixie" is truly
Southern in every utterance. Among the nota¬
ble papers in the October number are the war
sketches, illustrated, by Mr. Jos M. Brown, son
of the old senator “Joe" Brown, Georgia's fa¬
mous politician. There is an able article on
1 . Railroads” by Mr. J. F. Hudson, author of
> 1 The Railways and Republic. Mr. Clement
Mason has an admirable article on the utilization
of natural resources, while the conclusion of Mr.
Anderson’s series op the “Minerals of Virginia"
will be read with interest. “Technicalania” is
a new illustrated department conducted by D.
A. Tompkins,1C. E , M. E., and is brim full ot
interest. These are but a fpw of the good things.
“Dixie" will be sent for a year, for one dollar
to all who send before November 15 th,
to the “Dixie” Co., Constitution building, At¬
lanta, Ga. Mechanics and those who contem¬
plate buying machinery of any kind can learn

Elastic body, which is so badly needed on Shingle roofs, Metal roofs, Cloth roofs. Paper roofs and
Uravel roofs ; also on Brick walls, Brick pillars. Brick chimneys and for Wagons, Plow Stocks an t
for everything of the kind. Because the Fire Proof is the master of all sparks or coals of fire. The
Water Proof is impervious to water and keeps it out of timber or brick, and of course preserves them
from rotting, freezing, or scaling off Also preserves metal from rust, and makes them all last twice
as long as tUsy would without it.
The Cement compli tcly stops all small holes or leaks in . ny kb d - f roofs, and leaves it thoroughly
Cemented, with a nice slate finish on any roof. The Elastic body will contract an 1 expand with all
metal without breaking or scaling off like other paints so soon. The action of Water toes not affect it
like It dogs other pain's.
This grand discovery was made and patented May 2.1th. 1*82. a i l thousands >f i*> , people of Georgia
have been using it and find it the only P.ux c compau 11 in the . 1 r I that con -tins even 011c of these
great merits.
Mr. McDonald commenced the 17th of October, 1882, to serve the people of Gainesville, Ga., with his
wonderful discovery, and the first montJi's patronage paid him a clear profit 0/422o.nti. lie has been
selling his paints in many of the different states, since then, and can give any references desired. He
lias had his office in Atlanta. '27', North Broad, Street.) for Iwc years end has done thousands of dollar*
worth of work, and has sold over $15,000 worth of erritory in county and state rights, with and with¬
out the rfglit to manufacture the Paint. It lms proven to he a good fortune fo. bam, and to those
who have bought county and state rights and worked them. lie lias sold to many who had not made
$100 clear in twelve months before, who have made good homes ami arc still at work.
Mr. McDonald will s )lt county rights an 1 take go id notes, oil long litre, so as to allow the purchaser
to make the money before he pays a dollar, after the first small payment. There is an opening for
any man who wants to make money easy and fast, because the people will hat e it. and cannot afford
to do without It 011 tholr roofs,
Read what ts sakl by a few tvho have used it, and seen it tested Look into it and don’t use it until
you are thoroughly convinced that I mean just wimt f say, andean prove ft ail. But be sure you let
me have a chance to do so.
It docs not require an expert to apply it. Any ono who lms sense enough to scour a floor can put it
on a roof I defy the world to equal it, or to even Imitate it in merits, and all that I ask is to allow me
a match test, to prove all I claim for It. Your orders for paint will be appreciated, and your applica¬
tion for territory considered.
