IT WOULD REQUIRE THE SCOPE OF QUITE A * large volume to contain the good things that are said about the Morning News by its contem poraries of the Southern press. It is almost daily referred to as “The best paper in the South,” ‘•the leading Georgia daily,” etc., and is gener ally conceded to he in all respects a modern Southern newspaper. This is the fame that the Morning News covets, and no pains will lie spared hereafter to make it still worthier of the confidence and patronage of the people of Georgia aud Florida. The ample resources of the establishment will be devoted to the improvement of the paper in respect to its already large facilities for gathering the current news of the and ay, aud its staff of special corres pondents has been reorganized with a view to meeting uvery possible contingency that may arise. Although the Morning News has little or no competition within the field of its circulation, nevertheless no effort will be considered too ex pensive that give the earliest and freshest infor mation to its readers. In this respect there will be no relaxation of the endeavor to keep it far ahead of its contemporaries. The features that have rendered the paper so popular will be maintained. The editorial de partment will be conducted with the same digni fied thoughtfulness, conservative vigor, and earn est devotion to principal that have characterized it. The racy reliability of the local, and the ac curacy and completeness of the commercial de partmerts, will be kept up to the old standard, and improvements will bo made whatever they are suggested by experience. The Morning News is the only Savannah paper that publishes the Associated Press dispatches and the Telegraphic Market Reports authorized by the Commercial Bureau of New York City. In addition to this, the Local Market, reports will be fullaud reliable, and will enable businessmen of Georgia and Florida to form estimates as accu rate aud as intelligent as if they were in the city. In a word, the Morning Netvg will comprise every feature that renders the modern newspaper attractive, and its readers may confidently look to its columns for the latest information in regard to everything of current interest, It will admit of no rivalry in its own proper field, and will al low no compeditor to outstrip it i.h any depart ment of journalistic enterprise.

She's washed the dishes, cleared off the table, swept out the sitting room, and she stands in the bed room door for 11 moment, arms akimbo and surveys the bed. The pillows skewed around, the quilts rolled up in a heap, one end of the sheet down almost to the floor, and she wonders how “them young ones” managed to tumble up the bed so. She approaches the bed, seizes the pillows and deposits them on a chair, hauls the quilts off and drops them in the door-way, draws the sheets over the stand, and she finds the featlier-tick full of lumps and dents and hills and hollows. She makes a lunge for it, rolls it to the foot of the bed, and dives down among the straw. Her hands are lost to sight, and she bends over until it seems as if her back would break. ’ The straw is pulled this way, pushed that, dragged around and torn apart, and her lingers reach clean to the bottom and into each corner. “There! ha!” she says, as she straightens up to rest her back, and after a moment she grabs the feath er-tick, yanks it around, gives it a Hop and rolls it against the head board that she may get into the foot of the straw-tick. She dives into the straw once more, and lier face gets as red as paint as her nose al most touches the tick. The straw is finally stirred enough, and she rests her back, looks up at the ceil ing and wonders where she can bor row a white wash brush. Then it would do your heart good to see her grab the feather bed. She hauls it around, flings it up, mauls great dents in it with her fist, jams it against the wall and finally flattens it out. Then she seizes the foot, shakes the feathers toward the head, smooths them along further with her hand, and each corner is patted down and made to stand out dis tinctly. That hollow in the centre is patted out of existence, arid at last the bed is a true slant from head to foot. The top sheet is switched off the stand, held up before her until she sees the seam, then she flics it across the bed. It settles down just as true and square as a rule, and after the front side has been tuked down behind the rail the other sheet follows. The pillows are then grabbed up mauled, beaten and cuffed around until they swell with indignation, aud they are dropped on to the bed so gently that they don’t make a dent, but seem to float in the air above the sheets. The ends where the cases button are placed to go outside, according to long establish ed rule, and the quilts are swung over, tucked behind the rail, pulled down at the foot, smoothed at the head, and she stands back and says: “There! those children will sleep like bugs to-night!” A few weeks ago, as I stood in the Post-office, I heard one female say to another: “Did you hear about poor Mrs. Gleason ?” “No. Sick ?” was the query. “Poor tiling -died last night.” “Is that so ?” was the exclama tion. “Well, I’m sorry, though she’s better off'. She was a good wife, but she could never make up a bed as it ought to be made!”— M. Quad. Blessings of this World. Blessed are they that are blind, for they shall see no ghost.

Wo witnessed a pathetic scene ott a street car going to the Tjnion de pot. Besides oursclvcsj there was only one pasenger, a httndsotae lady, well dressed, and just in the prime of life and matronly maturity. About midway between Main Street and the depot a genteel, good looking man stopped the car and got aboard. As he stepped into the car the lady jumped to meet him, with the excla mation: “Oh, Harry, is it you?” An swering, “Yes, Jennie,” he caught her to his bosom in an impassioned embrace, his face the very picture of happiness, while the lady looked the impersonation of contentment and j°y- Mutual explanations ensued, in the course of which we learned that the twain had seperated from each other during the war, and had not met since. “Harry” said that he had wandered over the earth in sad ness and sorrow, a yearning for his first love always tugging at his heart making him restless, and causing him to constantly be on the move. He had been to California and in the mines of Nevada and the Terri tories. With plenty of money at his command, he had been in Brazil and other South American States, and was now on a tour through his own country. “Jennie” had never forgotten him, but had nightly pray ed for his safety and welfare, and for his return; she had wept bitter tears over his absence, and had even searched for him at different places. She had forgotten all misunder standings and bickerings between them that so enveloped her life in misery, and “Oh Harry,” she said, “if you will just take me back to your heart and love again, I will be the happiest little woman in all the world.” The tears were in “Har ry’s” eyes as he took her in his strong arms, and kissing her, swore that she was his forever. He said he had “plenty of money to keep you, Jennie, and the babies in style, and though I was going the other way I’ll buy a ticket for St. Louis, and we’ll go home.” We could not ourself repress a tear of sympathy, and sincerely rejoice that these lov ing hearts are again united. Let us trust no darkness may ever again fall upon their lives, but that they may go down together through the vale of life in happiness.— Houston Telegraph. Sister Em. My sister Em has got a feller who has been coming to see her ’most ev ery night for some time. Night be fore last, just to have a little fun, I went into the parlor and crawled under the sofa, and waited there until he and Em had got settled and just as he was asking her if she was willing to become his dear part ner for life, and trust to his strong arm for protection and support I gave three red-hot Indian war whoops and bumped myself up against the bottom of the sofa and fired off an old horse-pistol that I borrowed from Sam Johnson, and my gracious 1 how that fellow jump ed up and scooted for the door! He never stopped to get his hat, but went stumbling head over heels down the door steps. As for Em, she was so scared that she sat right down on the floor and screeched like blue blazes, till dad and mother came runing in with nothing but their night clothes on, and wanted to know what the matter was. But Em only yelled the louder and kept pointing under the sofa, till dad got down on his knees, and saw mo there, and pulled me ont by the hind leg. When he got me out in the w ood-shed, he wrapped me over his knee and thgn he went at me with an old trunk strap, and I have not got over it real nicely yet. The word advertise is a Bible word. It was used in the Bible be fore there were any newspapers to publish the modern advertisements or any dictionary to define the terms. An interesting real estate transaction which took place in the land of Bethlehem some thousands of years ago, is described in the fourth chapter of the book of Ruth, where it is written: “And he (Boaz) said unto the kinsmen, Naomi, that is to come again out of the country' of Moab, selleth a parcel of land w hich was our brother Elimeleeh’s, and I thought to advertise thee, say ing : Buy it before the inhabitants and the elders of the people. Boaz saw the necessity of advertising on i that occasion; and he did advertise; and he made his point handsome ly.
