—We are soon to hare a session
of Congress inflicted upon us.
—Hog stealing is troubling the
citizens of Sumter county.
—Sixty new houses are in course
of construction in Thomasville.
—Quitman has five bar rooms
and yet t%at lively old burg is not
happy, and will try and close
them up at the next municipal
*•** tion.
—There is a lawyer in 'Athens
who has make 810,000 out of his
profession since "last Christmas,
while several have gone up above.
$5,000. Happy lawyers!
—The knowing ones calculate
that Brooks county spends thirty
thousand dollars for whiskey
annually. More than half of this
amount is spent by the brother in
black.
—Somebody in Quitman gave
Perham, of the Free Press, a quar
ter of beef last week. There is
nothing that becomes a country
editor more than a square meal
occasionally.
—Hon. Daniel W. Rountree, cf
Brooks county, was married on
the 15th instant to Miss Georgia
Baldrick. Daniel, we wish thee
■etfT'the halp^msrAi^saUjkiu^your
new estate. You have acted emi

R seems that France will surely
become involved in a war with
China. If so our friends on the
Pacific Slope will rejoice ; as suc-h'
a contretemps would put an end
to the immigration to this county
of the “Heathen Chinee,” for a
while at least.
—The Savannah Times is now
owned by a stock company with a
Capital of $100,000. We cor.gratu-
late Editor Richardson, the Times,
and the people of the Forest City
all at the same time for this con
summation so devoutly wished
for.
—Savannah is at last to have a
big hotel. It is to be one of the
finest in the South. This is an
institution she has long needed,
and which will inure greatly to
her interest. With this hotel com
plete many northern visitors will
remain in Savannah during the
winter rather than go to Florida.
Success to the entfct prise.
Samuel J. Randall, of Pennsyl
vania, is one of the ablest and
purest men in the Democratic
parfy. He has always been the
best friend the South has ever bad
amongst Northern Democrats.
Hence we tiust that the caucus will
nominate him for Speaker o’ the
House of Representatives without
a disenting voice.
—We see no use in the constant
talk about Samuel J. Tilden for
the Presidency. He is not an

to the Cincinnati Convention in
18S0, truly represents his position

Mother Shipton’s prophecy hav
ing failed to bring about the end
of the world at the appointed
itme, another very old prediction
is now brought forward. It is ex
pressed in a French stanza, and
clearly proves the end of the world
in' IS87, when Good Friday falls
on April 23 (St. George’s day).
Easter day on April 25 (St. Mark s
day), and Corpus Christi on St.

Diptheria is raging to an alarm
ing extent in "Westmoreland,
Ohio, ana is attributed to the offal
taken from the city and used on
the land of a resident as a fertil-
zer. There is great excitement
in the village and proceedings
have been instituted to restrain
the nuisance. The physicians are
unable to arrest the disease and
it is spreading to the city. It
would be well for our board of
health to look after the ^disposition
of the offal from the hotels and
streets of the city, which is taken
and disposed of in the suburbs.
Tallahassee is to have an ice
factory. It is a sure thing this
time—company formed and capi
tal assured.
Mr. Bob Hinely, one of the.
cleverest men in Lowndes county,
had his gin house and several
thousand dollars worth of long
cotton burned recently.

Kellvism and democratic fool
ishness gave victory to the re
publicans in New York on Tues
day of last week. If democratic
success in 1884 depends upon
New York, preparations may at
once be made to witness the in
auguration of another republican
president.
The Augusta Chronicle ob
serves ; “The tendency of the
human mind to underestimate
the cotton crop is a curious dis
cussion'in the commercial journals
Underrating the cotton crop has
cost Southern speculators many
millions of dollars, and the end is
not yet.” There is another eu-

crop when he wants advances and
after he has got them.
That a large, well kept hotel
does much toward attracting
people to a town was forcibly
shown to us this week Some
parties in Ohio, wishing to come
to Americus, went to the railroad
office to purchase through tickets.
They could get none to Americus,
but were offered low rates on
round trip tickets to Tbomaavijle
and Eastman with the privilege
of the tickets up to the 1st of
June. Both Thomasville and
Eastman have elegant hotels,
attracting large number of visitors
and the conse-luence is that the
railroads make special rates to
those points. A big hotel would
be a benefit to Americus in this
respect, as well as many others.—
Americus Recorder.
Our readers can see from the
above extract what relation a
good large Hotel sustains to the
section where it is located.
Hence it is that we are for the
immediate erection of such a one
in this city, one that shall be
equal to any emergency and give
us those advantages enjoyed by
Thomasville, Eastman, Albany,
Americus, etc. Baiabridge, in
point of natural attractiveness,
and desirability as a resort, for
the winter, is equal in all respects
to any and all of the places named
and lacks only the advantages
and advertising which the ad
'vantages named will give to put
her in the front rank of desirable
resorts, and when our artesian
well is finished we will be in the
Te£r— - AS
Small Economies.
From small economies great sa
vings are accumulated. It is
small money that needs especial
care. Large amounts, in a meas
ure, take care of themselves.
From a mistaken idea the south
ern mind has been educated to re
gard with disdain small fractions
of money, hence the one-cent
piece is not in circulation. The
southern people are almost en
tirely deficient in such economy
that looks to the saving of small
amounts, hence the absence
of that degree of thrift, that
characterizes northern communi
ties. It may be well euftugh for
men of ample means *0 disre
gard economy in small things, but
most of us are poor enough to take
close account of every cent that
justly belongs to us. In many
sections ef the south, notably the
small towns of Georgia, five cents
is the smallest piece of currency
in circulation, and in making
purchases the odd cents under
that amount go by consent, most
frequently to the seller.
Now this is not strict business,
and engenders a carelessness that
is hurtful as an example, not con
sidering the sums lest in the total
of small trmsactions running
through a period of several years.
If an article is valued at 37 cents,
37 cents should b<= paid f or it— no
more, ho lessT That this may be
done, the one-cent piece should
circulate as freely as any othsr
frictional coin, and Bhould be
treasured as carefully:
The dollar is only so many cents
and if the one is without value,
how can we expect to properly
appreciate the worth of the other ?
In behalf of, and for the benefit
of poor people, we insist that the
one-cent piece should be freely
circulated in business circles.
Every merchant should be prepar
ed to make exact change to every
purchaser.
Manl'nesn.
There are many falsa ideas of-
manliness. Physical strength is
not the test. Carrying away the
gates of Grana, Samson exhibited
the power of rending a lion as he
would a kid; yet lie was a weak
creature after ali unable to resist
the wiles of an artful woman.
Great intellect is not the test of
true manhood. The sciences sat
at tho feet of Lord Bacon, extoll
ing him as the world’s benefactor,
yet he was led down Tower Hill, a
prisoner for swindling.
Fast living is not manliness.
To shut, to puff and swear are un
manly, and yet to some the es
sential’s ©f manliness are to ‘toss
money freely, “smoke like a man,’
and ‘drive a fas’t horse,’ for get
ting that virtue only is true man
liness. Temperance, charity,
truthfulness, fortitude, and bene
volence are the characteristics
and essentials of manliness.
New York.
Hon John Kelly has written the
following letter, which may be
read between the lines, when we
calculate the JavAilibihty of Mr.
Tilden as a candidate for the
Presidency:
New York, November 14,1883—
To M. E. Stone, Editor Chicago
Daily News; The late election
in the State of New York is no
indication of what may be the re
sult of the Presidential election of
1884. Maynard, candidate for
Secretary of State, was defeated
by the brewers and persons en-.
gaged iu the distilling and sale of
spirituous liquors. The majority
of the candidates on the ticket
with him will average 13.000 The
registry o r New York city, is 182-
GOO, The vote polled was 152.000,
23.C00 Democrats and 9.000 Re
publicans not voting.
Kings county, usually giving
Democratic majorities in Presi
dential years of from 9,000 to 18,-
000 gave a majority of 600 to Carr,
the Republican nominee for
Secretary of State. New York
city usually gives majorities of
from 45,000 to 50,000 in the same
years. Chapin’s candidate for
Comptroller, has 3(7,000. New
York State can be carried for the
Democratic nominees of the Na
tional Convention, providing they
and loyal are reliable men to the
party^ urd their reputations in
official and private life are begond
question. John Kelly.
Where the Cotton Money Hoes-
The South needs to look after,
the little economies of life. We
have just marketed a seven
million bale crop of cotton. That
sounds large, and it is large, but
even the amount of money that
crop brought into the country
wnuld dot last twelve months at
the rate we send off for the inum-
erable articles, great and small,
that we daily consume. These
high sounding figures are calcu
lated to make us extravagant, but
the meat, flour, surar. coffee,
guano, bagging, ties, hardware,
harness, oil, cheese, canned goods,
dry goods, clothing, hats, shoes,
etc., etc., that we are continually
sending off for, soon make the
grand aggregate value of seven
million bales of cotton. We
should manufacture everything
we can and as far as it is possible
do without those things we cannot
manufacture.—Washington Ga
zette.

following evidences of depravity
which Lave been developed in
Calhoun county:
Last Friday afternoon as Ben
J. Harper was in the woods about
three miles from town, his atten
tion was drawn to a flock of
buzzards, aud going up to see
what they had found, discovered
a live child, which had evidently
been born Jin the woods, and
abandoned by its unnatural moth
er. The buzzards had just made
the discovery, as their damage
had been slight. It was taken to
a house near by, and its mother
subsequently found.
A colored infant was found m
the woods near the Harris place,
in this county, while being de
voured by buzzards. The child
was not dead when found but
would cry when bittenby the beaks
of the carrion bird.The appearance
of the buzzards and the cries of
the infant was the means of its
discovery. The mother of the
infant, Mary Ann Sadberry left
it to devoured in the woods im
mediately after giving birth to it
Mother nor child can live long.
The mother has been arrested.

The experiment of an under

tested here. The Capitol and
other public buildings are now
connected by underground cable
and the system will eventually be
established throughout the city.
Should the experiments prove
successful, as they probably will
the District Commissioners will
order all the telegraph poles to be
taken down and all wires to be
placed under ground. The tele
