THOMASVTLLE, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 26, ‘889 SOME DAY. “They’ll all come back again,” she laid. That by-gone summer day, .The while we watched the goodly ships Upon the placid bay. “They sail so far, they sail so fast, upon their shining way, But they will come agaia, I know, some day —some other day." Some day I So many a watcher sighs, When wind-swept waters moarn. With tears pressed back, still strives to •; dream Of the glad coming home. Good ships sail on o’er angry waves, ’neath skies all tempest gray, For quivering lips so bravely tell it, “They'll come again—some day I” Some day I We say It o’er and o'er, To cheat our hearts, the while We send our cherished venires forth, Perchance with sob or smile: And tides run out, and time runs on, our life ebbs tast away, And yet with straining eyes we watch for that sweet myth—some day! Full many a true and heart-sped bark May harbor find no more, But hope for her beacon-light will trim For watchers on the shore; And those who bide at homo and those upon the watery way, In toil or waiting, still repeat, “some day —some blessed day.’’ —Lucy R, Fleming. BISHOP WHIPPLE’S NARROW ES CAPE. An Aooldent on the B. & W. Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 23.— Train 37 on the Savannah, Florida and. Western railway met with an accident five miles cost of Albany, Ga., at 2:30 this morning. The train is due here over the Brunswick and Western connection at 8 a.m. At the hour indicated the train wfa moving at a speed of about forty miles an hour, when a broken rail threw the rear Pullman sleeper, the Palmetto, over on its side. It was dragged three hunded feel, but before the train could be stopped it was detached and rolled down over the embankment. There were eight passengers on the sleeper, all of whom were badly bruised and shaken up. They were nude as comfortable as possible until the train reaohed Way- cross, where Surgeon Hoiks of the Savannah, Florida & Western R. R., came abroad and attended the injured ones. . '■ NO BONES BAD BEEN BROKEN, and all seven were able to proceed. The train reached here at 1 p. m. to day five-hours late. The injured passengers were at once driven to Duval hotel. Among them are Bishop W nipple and wife, of Minnesota; Miss Andei> Son and R, Marshall, of Pomona, Fla. 'They tire all suffering, mere or lew, and Marshall complained of severe pains in the hips, but they will pro ceed on their jurney tc-morrow.. They regard their escape as a mira cle. .. r A Texas editor, having charged that the father of a rival editor had been in the penitentiary, was notified that he' must retract or die. He retracted as tollows: “We fine that we were mista ken in our statement last week that the Bugle editor’s sire had been in the penitentiary. The efforts of his friends to have his sentence commuted to imprisonment lor life failed, and he was hanged.”—Texas Siftings. We feel sorry for a boy. To be a boy of 14 or 15 means to bo the occu pant of the worst old lumber room in the house. If there is any money spent on decoration it is in the girl’s room, because the girls are supposed to like pretty things and boys are “rough.? The average boy carries a feeling of neglect away down in his heart, and this feeling often results in bad boys.—Atchison Globe. “And Minnie has made a fortune out of her piano playing. How did she do it so quickly!” “She practiced piano so much that her ancle com mitted suicide, and she was bis heir, you know.’’—Epoch. lost Atlantic steamers.

To Be Open Early in ’90. Construction trains on the Savan nah, Americas and Montgomery rail road are now running to within ten miles of Mount Vernon, which is about eight miles from the Oconee river. The grading is finished on the entire line, and the trestles over Alligator and Gam swamps, and the piles for the bridge over the Oconee river are driven and are reudy for the 8upersctrutnre. It is expected that trains will be running into Mount Vernon within two weeks, and that by Jan. 1 they will be at Sterling, where the Savan nah, Americus and Montgomery con nects with the Savannah and Western. The latter road wilt doubtless bo fin ished to Sterling by or before that time, so that the new lino will be opened to this city early in the new year. r - H ~ r •- The. people through which the two railroads are being built are already realizing the benefits to be derived from them. The hands engaged in the work are paid regularly, and there is consequently a good trade with the storekeepers. The Importance of Good Roads. Wc find the following strong argu ment in favor of good dirt roads, in a late issue of the Bufialo Express. The enormous increase in railroads has resulted in the proportionate neg lect of ordinary roadways. The aver age country road is far from being what it easily might be, and even its present condition is not maintained in an economical manner. This is the natural result of rapid transit between markets. But a reaction already be gins to show itself, as the population ot the rural districts multiplies, and the demand for good hitthways increas es in proportion. Col. Pope is labor ing to stimulate this improvement by laying before the people the best ideas upon road making and road mending. His connection with the bicycle trade naturrally interests him on this subject and has led him to make a thorough study of it. While wheelmen are anx- ious for the improvement of the roads, it is a subject of still greater import, ance to those who employ teams of any kind to transport produce. Nine, ty-nine per cent of every load by rail, road, steamboat or express has been carried in a wagon or truck over a highway. Thus, even steam trans portation is measurably dependent for support on thedraftborse and his load “The prosperity of any city,” says Col. Pope, “depends largely upon the sur rounding country, and the better the road facilities, the faster the country will grow in population.” This makes the advantage of good roads mutual to both city and country. A road "over which a bicycle may be ridden with ease and safety will save bund- reds of dollars to farmers and others driving heavy loads.

DeValeote, the Brazilian minister, yesterday received a cablegram from Rio Janero, stating that United States minister, Adams, had established rela tions with the government now in con trol of aflairs in that country. This information he communicated to the state department, and it is reported that he urged upon the secretaiy the expediency ofthis government instruct- ing minister Adams to complete the act of formal recognition. While it is doubtless felt by the state department that the republic of the United States of Brazil has been established (upon a permanent basis, it is probable that the act of formally recognizing it through our minister, will be postpon ed until an official head or chief ex ecutive, chosen in pursuance of tome regular method, is established. The meeting of congress in Brazil has been called for next month, when the new republic will probably be launched with complete Organization. When that is accomplished the question of formal recognition by this country wil 1 probably hot be delayed.—Chronicle. If a man wants his wile to believe that he is a genius, his wisest plan is to persuade her of it before he gets married—He will generally find tt easier then.—Somerville Journal. She (eagerly)—Well, dearest, did you speak to papa this morning? He —Yes, I spoke to him. She (excited ly)—What did he say? He—He said “Good morning.” “I understand you have just been down to St. Louis?” “Yes; spent three days there.” “Did yon see any of the big bugs of the place!’* “No; I went to a brand new hotel.”—Judge The nickle-in-the-slot will never reach its highest stage of development until it is applied to dentistry.—Troth Tel ler. upon this truth will be the first to be benefited by it. Throughout the state, and the whole country, are farms, eight or ten miles from a railroad, whose value is at a minimum, yet, which, if the roads in tersecting them were of the first class, would at once rise in value, were they twice as far from steam transportation. Good roads are a national benefit. All business originates in natural prod ucts, which must find its way over a common highway before it can reach a market and attain its full value. Smooth, hard roads, well drained, and easily travenablc through a Urge part of the year furnish this outlet;and alone can furnish it. To neglect the high- ways is worse than to neglect the fences and woodpiles and weeds. The World’s Urgent Cities. The following information is often inquired for, says the Poll Mall Gazette, and as it may be useful in many coses for reference, we have compiled a table of the largest cities of the world, with’ their populations os stated by the latest authorities. In the absonce of any official census, the Chinese cities have simply to be esti mated, and, of course, must be accept ed as an approximation only. We have not given any city whose popu lation U below 500,000, although! there are many we could enumerate! which closely approach that figure. Il will be seen that is the 35 cities tabu lated below, there are 32,510,31£ souls, or nearly the population of the British isles, a fact which cannot bq grasped in a moment by any ordinary intellect: 715,000 700,000 Altchl...;.... 1,332,050 Bankok, Siam 500,000 Brooklyn, N.
