Fort Vallay is going to have water works. The c wintry is getting tired of leading about “Baby McKee.” Give the baby—and the people—a rest. New York City lias floated ten million of bonds at 2A per cent. This is the lowest rnte ever made by any state or corporation in. this or any other country. Garfield once remarked that the sweetest flowers of life were those which bloomed indiscriminately across the dividing wall of party politics, evenly balanced on either side. The Thomasvillc papers have con solidated and will be known ns the Times-Entcrprise hereafter, thus giv- . ging Thomasvillc one good uewspapor well supported.—Marietta* Journal. The Thomasville Times-Entcrprise is out, under the new (consolidated; management. It is a big improve inent—a good daily paper. The con solidation of these two papers will prove a big thing for Thomasville.— Atlanta Journal. Nelms, the bigamist, has been sen tenced to the peuitentiary for four years, for having married six unso phisticated female women. He should have been given a year for each de luded woman. However, since we come to think about it, the punish ment of having six women after him at one time is probably enough. The Johnson county alliance has passed this resolution: “That we urge upon our representatives to use their combined efforts together with all honorable means,, in the passage of the Olive bill and the Brady guano bill, which will be up- at the next session of the Georgia Legislature, believing that a failure to pass either will be detrimental to the agricultural interest of Georgia.” No true woman will notall ow any man, no matter what his profe Bion, no matter what his previous life, no matter what his age, no matter how innocent his intentions, to treat her with undue familiarity. Her instinc tive womadly feelings will always and quickly tell her that, so far from per fect love excusing such things, it is nther designed and calculated to prevent them. Perfect love is a pure love. Pure love abstains from the very appearance of evil. The Minnesota legislature has passed a capital punishment law, sim ilar in some respects to the New York law. Under its provisions the prisoner is to be kept in solitary con finement, and sees no one but his family, his lawyer and his spiritual advisers. He is to be executed before sunrise, and may invite three persons to be present. The sheriff invites six persons besides the surgeon. It is made a misdemeanor for a newspaper to publish anything more about the -execution than the mere facts. The Bainbridgc Democrat says: The “milk shake trust” has about stopped the sale of that beverage. At five cents all the machines in town run at full speed last summer. At the price of ten cents a shake, the milk shake don’t sell worth three shakes of a dead sheep’s tail. As Sam Jones remarked in Baltimore, to an audience which had been charged ten ;cnts a head to hear him him lecture: “My Lord! how ten cents admission doe* thin 'em out!” Is this True. A geutleman well <piu railroad affairs, expressed the bcliif \es terday that the Savannah, Aniericu* and Montgomery railroad was con trolled by the Louisville amf Nash ville. ‘‘It is evident,” said the gentleman, “that the former baby road has some very strong concern behind it. The road now appears to control all the money it wants. A standard gauge track’is being laid with heavy steel rails; the road will he extended east to Savannah and west iuto Columbus and on to Montgomery. “It is no secret,” he continued, “That the Louisville and Nashville people have long lmd an eye on the section of country penetrated fav this road. It will let them into Colum bus. Americas nnd Savannah and place them in a position where they will he able to compete with rival systems for a vast amount of business which they could not possibly touch without having control of the Savan nah, Amcricus and Montgomery road. Wo would like very much to see the Louisville and Nashville road come into Columbus, and there is rea son to. believe it will do so whenever the opportunity presents itself. It is not improbable that the Savannah, Americas and Montgomery road may he this opportunity. If this should prove true, Columbus will soon be the greatest railroad center in the South. We would then see three great rival systems—the Cen tral, Louisville aud Nashville and the projected Williamson system.— Columbus Enquirer-Sun. Thomasvillc would have no objec tion to joining steel rails with the great L. & N. system at Ccrdele. It will he remembered that the system alluded to has heeu completed to Cor- delc. And it will be completed to Savannah. A “Crank” on the Centennial. George Francis Train, so-called “crank,” but who has brains enough for a dozen men if he could only get them evenly ballauced, thus discours es ou the New York centcunial, after the fifteenth day of bis one hundred days fast. “I’m not one of your one-horse Picayune Mark Twains or Chauncey M. Depews who spout Brodcroft in Wall street andpassit off ns a ceuten- nial oration. I can eat a plate of bnked beaus and ninkc a better speech than Depew. I predicted that the centennial would he the greatest fizzle known in the historical world. Big thing that naval parade. A couple of sugar boxes with Robeson on top. This ccntouuinl four hundred has insulted every foremother in the world in ignoring them for the forefa thers. Besides I am assured that Gerry, Fish, Mackerel, Triyc & Co., have bchoodled §60,000. The only man who made a point in the whole business was my friend Bishop Potter. As for the hall, I’ve had women in the Mabile kick my lmt off. I’ve seen the wild orgies of the Indian Nautch dances. I’ve engaged in the most extravagant saturnalia of the Old World, but uever have I seen such sights as I am told were witnessed at the Elliot F. Shepard codfish ball. Decrease in Drunkenness. The Philadelphia Record has come to the conclusion that drunkenness is decreasing. In support of this opin ion, the Recorder offers the following figures, which will Ire found quite in teresting. “In 1840 the total con sumption of distilled spirits in the United States per capita of popula tion was 2.52 gallons ; in ’88 the con sumption lmd fallen off to 1.2.‘l gallons per capita—a reduction in consump tion of a little more than one half. “This reduction has been gradually brought about By a great and benefi cial change in the drnking habits of the nation. Instead of spirits, wine aud beer are drank. In 1840 the consumption of wine per capita was only half what it is now, aud the eon- euipptiou of beer per capita was less than onc-third of the present con sumption. Drunkenness has fallen off with the decreased potency of out drinks.” lu a difficulty Saturday at Cuth- bert, between Dr. Baldwin aud Sena tor Edwards, a pistol was drawn, but not fired, the eombatnuts clutching. The difficulty was the result of a private quarrel, aid, it it stated had nothing political in it. The affair is much regretted by both participants. They were rivals for senatorial honors at the last election. Democratic Montana. Our dispatches indicate that the constitutional convention of Montana is democratic by five. Five is a small majority, hut it, is a safe one and lur- uislios a very good iudication of the political complexion of one of the incipid states. When the hill admitting the two Dakotas, Washington nnd Montana, was passed the republicans rejoiced in the assurance that they would soon have four states added to thi list of those on which they could count with certainty. Subsequent, events show that their boasting was premature. The indications are that both Wash ington and Montan i will he demo cratic, nnd that the democratic vote in the Dakotas will be stronger than was expected. The democrats have good ground for believing that they will get four of the eight new United States Senators. The Senate would then stand forty-one democrats to forty three republicans. It is entirely to early to give up the senate as hope lessly republican. A very slight politi cal wobble may make it democratic be fore the end of President Harrison’s adm i n istration. —Telegraph. Minister Lawton Retires. Vienna, May 15--The emperor to day gave audience to Mr. Lawton, retiring United States minister, who presented his letter of recall. After ward the emperor received Colonel F. B. Grant, new minister, who pre sented his credentials. A Chestnut. Governor Richardson, of South Carolina, and Governor Fowle, of North Carolina, met at their hotel in New York, on Monday evening. Said the former to Governor Fowle: "I suppose we have an historic remark to make to each other. But I don’t drink so early in the day. Have a cigar.” And the two men smoked in the most companionable way. Sheep-shearing is the order of the day just now in Scriven county, and the wool clipping bids fair to be one of average yield. Hard on Congress. Bufinlo Kxpress. Speaking of the framers of the constitution. Bishop Cox jays : “When I read that roll I ath impressed with the ideas, first, what a capital God Almighty gave this nation to start with, and second, what a poor use we have made of ihts capital when we compare it with our American con- press at ihe present moment.” A pal pable hit. An astronomer from Harvard obser vatory some time ago propounded this problem to a number of fellow savants: Suppose that three snakes, each two feet in length, should catch each other by the tip of the tail, thus making a circle six feet in circumference. Sup pose that each snake should begin to swallow the one in front ol him, in what way would the resultant figure, alter each snake had swallowed the one in Iront of him, differ from the original circle? There were many di verse opinions upon the subject, some of thgm entering the consideration of the fourth dimension of space, because any one of the snakes would have swallowed the two in front ot him, and yet have been.swallowed by the two in back ol him, and, therefore, would he both inside and outside of his fellows. — - B‘»‘W — Several of the Georgia newspapers are demanding that the legislature, at the summer session, shall “dispose of the worthless curs.” If they mean that they want the legislature to pass a dog law, they will probably be dis appointed. The worthless curs lmve a strong hold upon the hearts of our legislator, perhaps lor the rcasou that there arc so many of them owned by pconlc who regard them affectionately, who spend ou them almost enough money to keep their wives in comfort if applied in that direction, aud who always go to the polls.—News. O, uo. the gentleman from Possum Trot, or Goon Hollow, will raise his voice o ud defend every sheep-killing cur in the state. The Gainesville, Fla., Advocate an nounces that the Board of Trade cf that city has offered $1,000 to any one who will invest 85,000 in a plant for a canning factory at that place. Here is an opportunity for a live, energetic man, as is seldom found in this sublu nary sphere. Those that arc ou the lookout for a good lucatiou for a can ning factmy should at oucc visit that city and examine as to the splendid inducements offered by that locality. It is said that John C. New, Consul General to London, can* discount Schenck in a game of draw. New will learn the blasted British some new points in the American game of poker. Plain History. Swifl’i Specific is 11 simple vegetable, com pound, prepared from roots gathered freshly from the forest, and contains nothing from the mineral kingdom, or any poison ous substance, or any article at all which conics from the chimist's labrutory. The formula of the remedy was obtained from the Creek Indians in Middle Georgia, by reliable white men, who hod witnessed the wonderful cures made by that tribe of Indians, of blood diseases. Mr.IIugli L. Deu- nnrd, of Houston county, Ga., began using Swift’s Specific in 182l>, find continued its use all hits life, and asserted that he. had nev er known it to fail to cure any case of Scrof- ulnr, blood taint, or Contagious blood poison. This testimony has been corroborated every day for years. The present company was formed in 1870, and have since nuidii known to the world the virturcs of Swift's SpecifTic. and to-day it is sold in every city, town and country store all over America, Great IJrit- ain. and many other portions of the world. I have seen Swift’s Specific used, and known of many cases of the worst form of blood disease which have been cured by it. I know the proprietors to be gentlemen of tie highest type and utmost reliability. I recommend it as a great blood remedy, un- eniialed l»v anything that I kuow of, M.H.
