SUNDAY, JUNE 25, 188!.
One of Uncle Sam’s war tubs went
ashore, near Norfolk, the other day.
# What has become of the Oklahoma
craze? It appears to have petered
out. It is well.
The Georgia military are having a
big time on St. Simon’s island. They
are the pride of the state.
The farmer who makes his own
bread and meat is as independent as a
wood-sawyer.
The world is growing better. And
we say this knowing that Forakcr and
Chandler are still allowed to stay in it.
The Georgia “watermillion” is get
ting there. And the night bell of drug
stores are ringing in many northern
yillages.
While the California boom has par
tially collapsed—or, at best, at a stand
still, South Georgia and Florida are
at the front, as of yore.
The Alliance men have hit the jute
.trust a slinging blow, by determining
to use cotton bagging. Hit ’em again,
and hit ’em hard.
What has become of Wiggins and
Hicks? It is about time they were
predicting warm and sultry weather in
August. Come to time, gentlemen.
Ingalls is laying in a fresh stock ol
venom. He will eject it when the
senate meets. The south can now
afford to smile at the contortions of
Ingalls, Chandler and their sort.
It is a safe plan to carry an umbrella
(of your own, remember) when starting
out. You can’t tell whether you will
need it to keep off the sun, or to pro
tect you from the rain.
The republican boodlers continue to
coarsely howl for plunder. And they’ll
get it. In the language of the Texan,
“What are we here for, if not for the
boodle,” they may properly exclaim.
General Pierce Young will deliver
an address at the re union of the ex-
Confederates in Bainbridgc, on the
4th of July. General Young was a
gallant soldier, and is an eloquent
speaker. He will warm the boys up.
The old Confederate veterans are
going to have a grand re-union at
Bainbridge on the 4th of July. Lieu
tenant Ben Russell says they will have
a private on exhibition. This will
draw a crowd, without doubt. We
hope Thomasville and Thomas county
will send over some of the boys who
wore the grey.
There ought to he some way of re
lieving the legislature of the over
whelming amount of petty, insignifi
I? cant focal legislation which, under our
present laws, is entailed on that body.
This kind of legislation consumes
• much valuable time—time which our
law-makers ought to give to more
weighty matters.
Georgia newspapers arc guessing
already at the length of the summer
session of the legislature. We venture
one prediction: It would be shorter
if members were not provided with
free passes. A number of states, rec
ognizing this evil, have passed strin
gent laws forbidding legislators from
accepting free passes.
Wild Western Journalism.
A copy of the Okolahomn Gazette
is before us. It is quite an interest
ing sheet. We make room for a few
short extracts:
Wanted—Some man with grease to
start a soap fnetoiy. We’ve got the
lie.
In the beginningGod made Guthrie
from the dust of the earth and it has
dried out some since.
The melancholy days have come.
The hottest til' the year;
We cling to thinnest lemonade.
With mercury !><> in the shade.
Hut pine for Iiigor beer.
Mr. J. M. Creamer, who formerly
lived in Valdosta, we understand,
appears at the head of the local page,
as “Circulator.” Just what that is
we are not prepared to say. It is
probable, however, that he just circu
lates around in the new town, with a
pair of six shooters strapped on, and a
bowie knife in his hoot log. Thus
equipped but few new-comers would
hesitate long about subscribing to the
Gazette. A “tender foot” would pay
for two years in advance. There is
an interesting resume of the business
houses m the new town. There are
21 drug stores and 7 ice cream saloons.
Two undertakers have littng out their
shingles. That they will do a good
business we infer front the fact that
53 physicians have already located
there. The disproportion between the
number of undertakers and physicians
is apparent. Fifty-three doctors
will crowd two undertakers.
The Old Homestead.
That young man is wise who slicks
to the farm,'who enriches and tills the
broad acres, and ignores the fascina
tions, allurements and seductive influ
ences of town life. In and around
the old homestead is the safest place.
There but few of the temptations of
life are encountered. Character is
moulded there, correct modes ofliving
fixed, moulded and fixed on a higher
plane than is possible in the towns,
where, to a greater or lesser extent,
young men are subjected to tempta
tions which, too frequently, lead them
astray. Many a bright country boy
has wrecked his health, happiness and
future by tiring of the old home and
going to town.
Many a hoy, bankrupt in health,
fortune and reputation, lias dragged
himself hack to the old home, where a
loving mother—who followed him with
her prayers -took him again to her
arms, loving the prodigal with a love
that passeth all understanding.
Moral: Stick to the old homestead,
until you get a home of your own, and
then stick to that. This advice is old,
but it’s good.
It is sometimes said that it is the
northern capitalists and the skilled
workmen of the north who arc build
ing up the south, but while this is true
in a measure.it is not a fair statement.
The Manufacturer’s Record says: "It is
the young men of the south,that is,those
ranging trom youth to 40 or 50 years
of age, who are making the south to
day. They ask no favors. They are
filled with an enthusiasm that cannot
be dampened. They are hold, earnest
energetic, and above all, they have a
faith in the south’s future that cannot
he weakened.
Editor Sheppard of the Mail and
Express, N. Y., secs blood on the
moon. Every mention of a reunion of
ex-confederatcs throws hint into a
spasm. lie has, thus far, unfortu
nately, outlived these attacks. Maybe
one of them will carry him off yet.
We can only wait and hope.
The cause of education will receive
more attention from the law makers
of Georgia at the coming scssiou of
the legislature, than ever before from
that body. Don’t forget the three
R’s, gentlemen. Thoroughly taught,
they arc the basis, ground work and
foundation of a good education. A
good system of common schools is of
the highest importance. Then if there
is anything in a boy he will climb to
the top.
There is a sick juror in the Wool-
folk case. It would he hard on Bibb,
if this juror should break down before

The money realized for the melon

He Will Buy a Ticket.
It isgencrally understood that Blaine
occupies rather an unenviable position
in the cabinet. When asked why he
submitted to being snubbed, he told
the following story, to illustrate his
position:
He likened himself to a man who had
received from an author a ticket to sec
the first performance of a play. The
audience grumbled at the first act,
hissed at the second, and at the end of
the third act proposed to mob the act
ors. The man with the free ticket was
quiet. His next neighbor was amazed
and at the close of the third act asked:
“Look here, my friend, you don’t
say anything; do you like thfs play?”
The man did not, but he was deter
mined to he courteous. “Fact is,”
said he, "I am here by invitation, and
I feel as if I ought not to he rude.
But if the next act ts as bad as the last
I’ll go out and buy a ticket and raise
hell."
