Another Burglary.
There seems tc- be an epidemic of
burglaries lately. They visited Mr,

$25.00, of Mr. B. D. Hodge, of Ocala
Fla. Mr. II. travels for Sharpe, Cox
it Wrie, of Philadelphia, and is a
nephew of Atkinson. The thief kept
the money but threw away the pants.
As the pants were placed on a chnir

parties did not enter the house, but
secured them from the outside.

well known southern families, her fath
er being Henry Thompson and her
mother Eleanor Johnson. Her hus
band was Charles Stuart, a descendant
of the Scottish family of that name.

Mary Stuart Nevisson. who was with

The Rev. Dr. Charles F. Deems will

be in Greenwood.—N. Y. Times.
Great Wealth.
'fhe rich men down south arc small
potatoes and few in a hill compared to
the many millionaires of the north.
Recently a statistician made an esti
mate, and found that by adding to
gether the wealth of seventy-two citi
zens of the United States, the result
is a sum equivalent to the national
debt.
Cornelius Vanderbilt is rated at
$110 ,000,000, a sum larger by ten
million than that opposite any other
name. John J. Aster and \V. M. As
ter arc put down at 8100,000,000. W.
K. Vanderbilt docs not seem to be so
very rich, after all, with $85,000,000,
and Jay Gould with his $75,000,000
and J. I). Rockefeller with bis $60,-
000,000 arc not as important as they
would have it appear. John I. Blair,
Andrew Carnegie, C. J’. Huntington
and Leland Stanford, with $40,000,-
000 each, rather lose in importance in
the public eye. Mackey with his
$30,000,000, Armour $25,000,000,
Coxe, Drexel, Sprecklcs.Westmghousc,
Fair and Linton with their $20,000,-
000 each, and J. J. Hill, John l’.Jones,
Marshal Field, H. A. Flagler, F. W,
Vanderbilt, John T. Davis, D. W.
Bishop, W. D. Sloane, George Lanier,
George \V. Childs, John Wanamakcr
and Sidney Dillon, with their $15,-
doo.ooo each, seem to have hardly
enough to attract. But men like Can
non, Palmer, Bonner, Pullman, Alger,
Barnum, English, Pratt, Miller,Gorman
and others, with their insignificant
$5,000,000 or $6,000,000 apiece, arc
veritable paupers by comparison.—
Macon Evening News-
TKOMASVILLE, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 2, !880.
A Town Which Encourages Railroads'.--
The Example of Athens.
Athens, Ga., June 29.—The rumor
is afloat, and It amountsWalmost* a
settled fact, that the Georgia railroad
will build a road from Atlanta to Knox-
villee, and then give Athens another
splendid rrilroad. The president of
the road, it is understood, heartily
endorses the idea, and it is safe to say
it will be built. It is proposed to build
the road from Athens to Jefferson,
thence to Gainesville, thence to Ball-
grown, a point on the Marietta and
North Georgia railroad, and from there
on to Knoxville. This will be a very
short direct line, and -ihc people of
Athens are in for it. They are wild
over railroads just now, and it seems
as if Athens is'to be a railroad center.
She has three roads, the Georgia, Car
olina and Northern and others
arc surely coming. The
Athens and Jefferson, the Augusta
and Chattanooga, and the division of
the Georgia arc being s:rongly talked
of, and some have been started. The
citizens meet in mass meeting on Mon
day to form a land improvement com
pany, which will look to the develop
ment of Athens real estate.
A Stagerer for Croakers.
Baltimore, June 27.—The Manu
facturers Record this week, in its quar
terly report of the south’s industrial
progress, says that a comparison of the
new enterprises organized during the
last six months shows an increase of
600 over those of the ' corresponding
time last year, and that the amount of
capital and capital stock of the new
enterprises during the last six months
is $27,425,000 in excess of that of 18S8.
Green Stamps Must Go.
Hpceifieutions just issued by the
Postmaster-General for tho guidance
of bidders under the next contract
for postage stamps advertised for un
der date of June 17, 1889, provide
for bids for two series of stamps of dif
ferent sizes, one of them being the
size now in use and the other about
one-third smaller. The color of the
2-eent stamp is to he either carmine
or metallic red, tho latter being the
color in use when the change to green
was last made.
Washington, June 27.—Com
missioner Tanner said, before he left
for Iowa on Tuesday, that on his re
turn next week he would have money
enough—the appropriation for the next
fiscal year being available on Monday
—to pay pensions as he wants to do.
To use his own phrase, “We’ll pull
the throttle wide open.”
Yes, and ifTannet doesn’t wreck the
administration tram it will be a
wonder. There’s no question about
plenty of steam and an “open throttle.”
lic
it is estimated at (lie treasury
partmeut that there lias been ft de
crease of about 815,500,000 in the
public debt since June 1. This will
make the debt' reduction for t'he’fisoftl
year ending June 80, $88,182,200,
The New York Star directs ntten
tion to the fact that the wonderful
growth of the South has been attain
ed since the southern states govern
ment became democratic. To this
fact, by the way, the republican or
gans never allude. The Star says:
“The Hint manifestation of this growth
was nlmost contemporaneous with the
end of the scandalous republican
misrule in the south. It has been
pursued exclusively under democratic
administrations of the various south
ern states and municipalities. It has
found its lenders in democratic .south
erners themselves, and so far as there
is any real connection, between poli
ties and business it has been demo
cratic from the start.

FOR RENT.
On his eighty-eceond birthday, the
Hon. Simon Cameron wrote to a
young friend in Philadelphia as fol
lows ; “ I’he host duty any ciliz.cn of
our country can perform is to do our
duty as citizens so as to transmit this
heritage, increased and perfected, to
those who shall come after ns. To do
this, a steady, sober, industrious life is
the first of all. Then a calm and
thoughtful care to perform ifll our
political duties, with a view to hc’i?:

our Creator well and truly. Do these
as well as you can. God asks no
more from anv-oiip. And wherein
you fitil He has arranged a wise
and merciful way in which all short
comings will be overlooked in those
who have done their utmost,”
Indianapolis, June 28.—The Jour
nal’s Kokomo correspondent reports
that last Tuesday, two miles south of
here, Mrs. Ifenry Jones had horn to
her twin girls inseparably connected
at the hips and lower abdomen. No
vital organs are connected except the
spinal column, which is.continuously
from one end to the other. Each
breathes and piilralcS quite iiulepeu-
deiiily of each other, and both are
perfectly formed and have free use of
their limbs. Flic infants are apparent,

age.

Ftqiu Rnris comes the report that

The Northwestern Railroader puts
forth a novel theory to account for an
ullctlged increase of storms and floods
in these later years. It says that, there
arc mure than 80,000 locomotives in
use in North America, and that tin-
vapor from these sent out into the
atmosphere each week will measure
more than 50,000,(XX) cubic yards,
which must he returned as rain, or
7,000,000 cubic yards a day -quite
enough to produce a rainfall every
twenty-four hours.
The following is" submitted as an
appropriate advertisement for Presi
dent Harrison’s use: “Any person or
persons knowing themselves to be in
any way related to the President, or
related to any of his relatives, will
hear of something to their advantage
U/ presenting themselves. All known
members of the family have been pro
vided with offices, but several places
remain to be filled. A limited numb
er of persons of ancestral origin and
no visible means of support can also
be fixed.”
