HOW INTEREST GROWS.
George D. Cobb, S. M. Cobb ana
D. Linderman gave their promissory
note to A. A. Webber in 1877, for
$178.75, due and owing him. The
note was to bear interest at the rate
of 5 per cent. a wmonth, payable in
advance, with the express agreement
that upon a failure to pay the inter
est it should be added to and become
a part of the principal and bear inter
est. On June 28, 1881, Webber en
tered suit in the justice’s ecourt
against the notemakers and at that
time the sum total due amounted to
$1,098. Webber did not issue a sum- |
mons until the year allowed by law
for the issming of summons after the
filing of a complaint had nearly ex
pired, and he then held back the pa
pers, and did not serve them on the
defendants until last month, at which
time his clifm against them had
amounted to $12,104. Messrs. Mes
sick and Maxwell appeared before
Justjce Wood yesterday in the spe
cial interest of the defenant, Lihder
man and asked that the suit against
him should he dismissed on several
grounds. The principal objections
raised were that the amount sued for
exceeded the jurisdiction of the court,
and also that the delay in serving the
summons had been unncessary. The
matter was argued at length, and
Justice . Wood dismissed the suit
against Linderman, principally be
cause the amount involved exceeded
the jurisdiction of his court. He
held that as the case now stands the
suit is for $12,104, as the terms of the
note expressly provided that, in the
event of a failure to pay the interest,
it should become a part of the princi
pal and bear interest. Ile also held
that if a plaintiff was entitled to de
lay the serving of a summons as long
as he pleased, the only statute of lim
itations that would run against him
would be his own conscience.—San
Franasco Chronicle.
GEORGIA’S NEW LOAN, |
The state of Georgia is about to is
sue some millions of bonds at 5 per
cent interest, to run thirty years, to
be non-taxable, and “exchangeable
for registered bonds of like interest
at time of maturity, at the option of
the holder.” Now, it is morally cer
tain that the state of Georgia will
never repudiate this obligation. It
is only a question of premium, there
fore, which will be entertained by
bidders for these bonds. As we have
often said, the state of Georgia is the
most progressive of the southern
states ; its natural resources are prac
tically speaking, unlimited; its peo
ple imbued more fully that those of
any other southern state with indus
trial ideas and aspirations. Its lead
ing newspapers are carnest in pro
moting material progress in legiti
mate ways. The Atlanta exposition
was undoubtedly of greater practical
value than the New Orleans exposi
tion will prove to be, and in a great
degree, because Georgia “meant husi
ness,” and acted as though she had
faithin herselfand in the future. At
lanta is the Chicogo of the south, with
the drawback that northern capital
does no flow as freely toward her as
it always does to the northern phe
nomenon.— Providence Jowrnal.
WHY IS IT?
Some people in the State never sec
any good in a man, and neither do
they offer to speak one word of praise
or encouragement until he has strug
gled on and on through the mud-and
mire of trials and despondency, and
gained a strong foot hold on the rock
of reputation. And then, when all
of his difficulties have been in a meas
ure surmounted, and his growing
fame is flinging its wealth of splendor
far and near, and brightening his
pathway with its rays of glory, these
very people see in hind, “an apple of
gold in a picture of silver,” and lavish
indeed is the stream of praise which
is then poured upon his worth and
his talent. Why not go to him when
he is “pulling against the stream,”
and by extending a helping hand of
cheer, encourage him in his brave
endeavor to stem theadverse current,
and gain the beauteous landing place
beyond. , .

Charles Cooke, an escaped defaul
ter from Jacksonville, Fla., was
brought from Houston Texas, where
he was captured a few days since.
Cooke was chief clerk in the office of
the treasurer of the Florida Railway
and Navigation company ; also confi
dential man. On February 27th a
package containing $7,000 in cash
disappeared from the treasurer’s of
fice, and on the next Cooke could not
be found. The robbery was suppress
ed, and detectives put on his track.
He was followed nearly 5,000 miles
before he was captured. Cooke be
longs to one of the leading families
in that section of the State.
FOREIGN ARMIES,
Russia has more soldiers and more
ships of war than any other country
in the world. In her standing army
there are 780,000 men, and she has
308 in her navy. 1t costs $125,000,-
000 a year to keep her military estab
lishment on their peace footing, and
her military authorities say they can
‘ place 2,3000,000 trained men under
arms in war time. The English stand
ing army is 182,000 men. This in
cludes the English regular troops
serving in India. The English War
Office authorities profess to be able
to put 642,000 well-drilled and effec
tive British troops in the field if call
ed on to do so. This does not include
the Indian auxiliary forces, which
would swell the total British forces,
at home and abroad to over $1,000,-
000 men. It costs England $20,000,-
000 a year to keep up its regular ar
my. In 1853 there were 62,000 Irish
soldiers in the English army; now
there are only 31,000. In 1853 a
great number of Irishmen from the
Tipperary, Armagh, Kilkenny, and
other Irish militia regiments volun
teered for active service, and were
sent to the Crimea. The English na
vy contains 183 ships. But while
the Russians navy contains niore ves
sels than the English navy, it must
be remembered that England spends
three times as much on her navy as
Russia spends on hers.
DEAR PRICE FOR BEAUTY.
It is reported thata young married
couple are enroute from the Pacifiie
coast to Butte with a new racket for
fleecing the young men of this com
munity. The wife is a handsome,
modest-appearing young lady, who in
vain seeks work and finally in despe
ration gives a ficticious history of her
wandering in the west. This is fols
lowed by the announcenfent that she
intends to offer herself in a rafle for
$5 a chance, and if so desired the hold
er of the lucky number can ‘marry
her at once. The unmarried yuungf
men go wild over the scheme and for
“fun of the thing” take a number.
About this time her husband makes
his appearance, attends the drawing,
holds the lucky number, is introduc
ed and re-married and the slick pair
skip to parts unknown.—Chicago

REY. SAM JONES.
The Nashville American paints
this picture of Rev. Sam Jones: Ile
was a delicate-looking fellow, with a
trim, black moustache, a keen black
eye, wore a slouch hat and stageered
about looking as Jittle like a preach
er as the next man. But he had in
herited the moral brawn of his ances
tors, and under appearance of an al
most abandon there wag an earnest,
thoughtful soul. Ile was endowed
with a native scent for shams, and
when he went on his work he began
to discover so much religious cant
and humbuggery that he alarmed his
friends, vexed and embittered his
foes; but uncovering his guns and
going right at them, he was so auda
cious, so absolutely fearless, so re
gardless of all that the fastidious
could eall proper, that he was from
the first a sensation, and men differ
ed much about what was going to be
the outcome.
e I S st sl
It never pays to fret and growl,
When fortune seems our foe;
The better bred will push ahead
And strike the braver blow,
For luck is work
And those who shirk
Should not lament their doom,
But yield the play
And clear the way
That better men have room.
Corn and meat is almost as cheap
as dirtin East Tennessee, and yet it is
alleged that the Chattanooga aunthor
ities have been guilty of starving the
inmates of the poor house. The pau
pers got so they wouldn’t go to the
poor house and many of the inmates
ran away to escape starvation and
freczing. It is also asserted that the
keeper would whip and otherwise
‘abuse those under his charge.

GUITEAU’S CURSE.
SoME of Guitean’s maledictions
have been strikingly verified. In one
of his moments of real or assumed
passion, it will be recalled not long
before his execution, he held his Bi
ble high in the air, and with eyes
rolling and gnashing of teeth, pre
dicted that the Republicans had
clected their last President; that Ar
thur, would fail of the nomination,
which- would go to Blaine, and
Blaine - would be defeated. The
fatalities attending those associated
in the prosecution are remarkable.
The District Attorney, cursed by the
assassin, soon lost his wife and office,
Two of the attendant bailiffis have
died. Of the jury that convicted him
one has died, two have been incar
cerated as lunatics, two have failed
in business and the rest have seen
nothing but trouble ever since. The
Doctor who testified to his sanity was

Relief from Malarial Poison.
For six months past T have been
affected with a very serious case of
typhoid malaria, which I contracted
on my orange grove in northwestern
Florida. I tried several remedies,
but everything failed me. Two weeks
ago I purchased a bottle of Swift's
Specifiec, which has proved a sure
cure for this dreadful malady. I had
almost given up hope of ever being
well again, for I had tried so many
remedies, all of which had failed to
do any good. Would to God that all
the afflicted people residing in the
malarious counties of Georgia, Flori
da and Alabama would read- this and
try the 8. 8. S. instead of dosing
themselves with quinine and mineral
remedies. 1 feel it my duty to suf
tering humanity to write this certifi
cate for it may be the means of many of
my old friends trying this great rem
edy as I have done. So strong is my
faith in it that in every case where
the directions are followed 1 will
guarantee a sure cure or forfeit one
hundred dollars.

It is a Wonderful Remedy,
For many years my blood was in a
bad condition, manifesting its charac
ter by a serofulous breaking out on
both my ankles, which caused me
'mnsidornblc suffering as well as
‘great annoyance. Seeing the name
of Rev. Jesse H. Campbell of Col
umbus, Ga., attached to a certificate
concerning a cure by Swift’s Specifie,
[ wrote to him about this remedy.
lis reply was that “it is a wonderful
remedy.” I tried it and found the
action very much as deseribed in the
directions. I used about one dozen
bottles, observing a steady and al
most daily improvement from the
start. - 1 was entirely cured of this
disagreeable and distressing disease.
That has been nearly a year ago, and
I find ao signs of the disease return
ing, and am ready to testify with
Rev. Mr. Campbell that Swifts Spe
fic “*is a wonderful remedy,”
