She laved him it a brother;

“Tripe, please end find another.”
The Batcher etRl panned the girl,
Hie pices become modi bolder;
The girl at hit, to fad relief;
Gave to him a cold ehoolder.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
WHY'dcn’t some of the colleges con
fer the degree of LL.D. on the comet?
There ought to be a census taken
the '’silverstongued orators” in
Georgia.
No matter how rapidly Gould’s
comet may travel, Chicago has a fas
ter See it ?
No Atlanta man can move in good
society unless he has discovered two
three comets.
Mrs. Pierce, the wife of Bishop
Pierce, celebrated her 70th birthday
last Friday.
The Gate City Guards of Atlanta
are going into camp. Must we have
another war ?
Arkansas will soon be known as
tbe Lynch State. Nine men have
been lynched there within a month.
One of our exchanges gravely as
sens that it took two thousand men
over two years to capture Richmoud,
Yob may say what you please
about your “silver-tongued” orators,

more effective.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
This body will convene in ai
•d session next week and if the indi
cations are not aU wrong it will nuke
a summer of it fit the capital. This
is one time wh^vthe members will
not have each a lit thing of it, it
indeed those who boast any fat do not
lose it through the action of the ca
loric upon their adipose tissue. It
is One time too, when the people can
watch the iong session in a spiyk.. of
from choice that the members
draw their per. diem but on account
ot a stern necessity which their own
dallying last winter has brought upon
them and to avert which they would
now willingly lorego the $4 a day.
Besides being long and laborious
the seasou promises also to be very
interesting in some respects. There
are already on the calendars of the
houses a large number of bills, nearly
three hundred we believe, introduced
at the last session, some ot them of
considerable importance. Then there
are a large number af others ready to
be introduced at the first opportunity.
All of these must be acted on, aud
while of course many will be merged
with others or killed in ' committee,
yet they will consume time, and the
number remaining will be laTge
enough to carry the session into the
days when old Sol shall cease to be
terrible.
Among the more important matters
which will claim the consideration oi
the body may be mentioned the con
vict lease system, immigration, the
railroad commission law, the new
capitol, the law governing the presi
dential electors and numerous others.
These especially require'early atten
tion and decisive action. There are
any quantity of nominally private
bills which are of the first importance
to particular sections and the mem'
bers will need all the courage of true
patriots to discargc their full duty
thi. time. ‘
Fortunately there are no elections
to call off the attentiou from practical
legislation and it is tojbo hoped, since
it was by their own vote that the
session was thrown into midsummer,
the members will allow no visions of
summer resorts or quiet country,
mountain breezes or sparkling wa
terfalls, purling brooks or mineral
springs to deter them from bravely
euduring even the delightful solstitial
avenues ot the Gate City and the ever
absorbing purlieus of tbe state sweat-
box, ycleped capitol, for the good ot
the commonwealth and the promotion
ot the people’s happiness.
But without any tinge ot irony we
wish the General Assembly, each and
every member, as pleasant a session aa
may be and that they may act with
such wisdom and fidelity that their
constituents may have all to commend
and nothing to condemn.

While engaged in conversation with
Bro Bnrkc the other evening, tbe
question of marriage fees came up,
and rapidly running over some of his
experience in his lipe, he related the
following:
‘I have been living in Macon about
thirty years, aud in that time I reck
on I’ve done more 'charity practice’
in the marryipg lino, than any man
in these parts. You see, when a fels
low is going to marry who has got a
fee to surprise the minister with, he
is very apt to call on the pastor of
one ot the churches, but iu most
other cases they hunt me up.’
‘Not a great while ago, a gentleman
called at my office, and informed me
that he had been sent for me to marry
a couple several miles oft in tbe coun
try. I was very busy, but he’d been
sent specially for me, and would take
no denial. Bo I went.' The marraige
was toteViiptoee.HF8iBhilnnk.ia the. __ ,
afternoon. It was thon about eleven.
I had taken an early breakfast that
morning and was in fine trim for a
good country dinner—especially after
a two hours’ ride. Bnt soon after ar
riving at the place I wa8 convinced
by circumstantial evidence that the
noon-day meal, was numbered with
the things of the past. But towards
the middle of the afternoon, all hands
announced ready, and tho loving
couple were made one, with my usual
dispatch. Then came a regular wed
ding dinner, with its dainties and its
woeful dearth of substantials.
‘And soon the lengthening shadows
reminded me that night was coming
on and I was several miles from home.
So I mildly hinted to the friend who
carried me thither, that I had best be
going home.’ ‘But how are you go
ing ?’ he asked.
‘I expected to return with you,’
said I.
‘I’m sorry,’ be eaid, ‘but I can’t
carry you. I have to carry my wife
and children home.’
‘Well!’ thought I, ‘if.this ain’t a
pretty box!’ While musing thus, a
gentleman informed me that it was
only about a mile to the railroad, and
I could reach the Station in time for
the homeward bound train, by taking
a ‘nigh cut’ through tbe woods. I
finally managed to procure a guide,
reached the railroad; tte train was
belated on some account; but I final
ly reached home at bed time. Missed
dinner, supper, half a day of valuable
time.”
Yes, but you must have received
a very large fee for such a trip,’ we
ventured to remark.
Oh, sir you are mistaken. There
was not the slightest hint of anything
like a fee—and that’s where the ‘joke’
comes in.’
And as just such‘jokes’ are being
practiced all over the country, _ we
here tal^occasion to say, that this is
an unreasonable imposition upon min-
iate**-*Ktact H-w«u-t>«r»ge.

both saved and have been arrested.

TEHPERANCE MOVEMENT LV ENGLAND.
(Toronto Globe.)
The passage of Sir Wilfrid Law-
_.n’s motion affirming the principal of
local option, or the right ot localities
to prohibit the lipuor traffic within
their own boundaries, marks an im
portant era in the history of the tem
perance reiorm in England. Of
course nothing seems in itself more
jnst or reasonable than that towns and
shires should exercise such a right.
It seems monstrous in the abstract to
ssy that this city or that county shall
be'compelled to suffer all the evils
and miseries which are the fruit ot
the traffic, no matter how strong or
virtually unanimous may be their de*
sire to be rid of it. The success of
tho motion which has for so many
years been annually rejected by the
LUCY COBB INSTITUTE.
Elsewhere appears the Fall an
nouncement of this well known female
college of Athens. We are pleased
to be able to commend this institution
most freely. With the accomplished
lady principal the writer is well ac
quainted,and is one of the many friends
in Aogusta and in Georgia who have
admired her for her thorough educa
tion and higher graces of womanhood.
This school, situated in one of the
most delightful portions of Athens, is
being handsomely fitted up by its new
occupant,the parlors,consulting rooms,
private chambers and recitation halls
are being well filled with new furni
ture and latest comforts. • The com
mencement which has just passed was
a most interesting aud enconragmg
one and the programmes for these oc-
cations have reflected the finest scholar
ship and the most thorough traiuing.
This school is the peculiar pride of
Athens, and should be liberally pat
ronized by other cities of Georgia.
Augusta, Savannah, Atlanta and Ma
con, even, although tne latter is sup
plied with a fine female college,would
do well to be represented by fair
daughters in such a place. The fac
ulty ot'the Institute we consider em
inently practical and progressive,while
flue advantages are afforded for mod
ern languages, music and art. Geor
gia has several female seminaries ot
high order within her borders,but she
has none of more real excellence than
Lucy Cobb Institute of Athens.—

A spiritual search-warrant should

What you feed others on the Devil
will feed you on. Nine out of teu
liquor dealers fill drunkard’s graves.
One rotten rail may let in tbe 8109k
and destroy the crop. The neglect of
one Christian duty leaves a gap to let
the Devil in.
The railroads havo mail caw, bag

There are two kinds of courage—

Here he is—a short neck bull dog.
Here is superior physical courage for

moral courage. God despises a mor«

Ed. Cox who killed Alston, has to

into hie present trouble, and bad the
management of a number of them.
His transition from boss to conviot,_
