Here is* a little Bible silhouette
done by Sam Jones, which seems to
delight The New York Tribune
“My ideal of a man is John the Bap

would stay there until the ants car
ried him out through the keyhole
before he would modify anything that
lie had said.”

declares that he will never be impris

A good editor indites this screed:
“Who weeps ^witli you when you are

(hardly ever) lies; and when he docs,
creates surprise ? The editor. Who
owns a heart ns well as a check, pos
sessed of spirit proud yet meek, and
lives on forty cents a week ? The
editor.

The south is producing more cotton

The World’s Fair Building.
An architect of Chicago has sub
mitted a plan for the world’s fair
building in that city. The idea of
this architect is to have only one
building and to locate it over the
water of the lake. It would be built
upon piliug and would be 1,000 feet
high in the center, and would have
diameter of .‘1,000 feet. It would
cover 190 acres, and would be built
of glass and iron at a cost of 80,000,
000. The plan calls for nud ampbi
theater in the center of it that would
hold 500,000 people. Fiotn the top
of the center tower it would be pos
sible to see the Michigan shore across
the lake.
Nashville merchants are raising a
subscription of 85,000 to advertise
that city. In 1888 the business men
of Portland, Ore., subscribed 812,000
a month to advertise that city, and
Portland grew marvelously in wealth
and population.
And this is what Thomasville
should do. This summer should not
pass without a systematic plan of
advertising the place being inaugu
rated.

Hitting Livingston-
■C’ol. Livingston made a speech at
the Georgia Chautauqua in Albany.
It has been severely criticised.
Among others he attacked Pat Walsh
of Augusta, one of the truest men in
Georgia. The News and Advertiser
thus touches up Col. Livingston’s
speech:
Air. Liviugs.ton on Wednesday did
hurt the Alliance; he brought it into
disrepute by blackguarding the press
blackguarding true and tried Demo
crats, whose papers have always been
on the side of the farmers and the
Alliance, and blackguarding and
browbeating Editor Underwood,
minister of the Gospel and a‘ fellow
Alliance man.
Mr. Livingston on Weducsdny.in
ulted his audience, insulted the as
sembled Alliances, insulted the citi
zenship of Albany and Dougherty
county, insulted the Chautauqua man
agement by supposing that they
could endorse such a coarse, ribald
and profane speech. He brought
the glorious dignity of the great Geor
gia Chautauqua down into the dust
of a backwoods political stump, and
made it a by-word in tho press of the
state as a gathering for rabid
aspirants after gubernatorial honors,
and caused a thrill of disgust to pulse
the entire South at the exhibition of
such a mountebank.
Just such men ns Livingston
brought the Grange of grief, and
destroyed its power and usefulness,
and no better fate can be hoped for
the Alliance if these same old chronic
office seekers arc allowed to talfc the
lead and subsidize the order to their
own political interests.

Too Many.
There is too much love in the world,
said some one the other day to me.
There is too much of a great many
things in this world, but not too much
of that,
There is too much bad tamper.
Too much scandal.
Too much evil temper.
Too much hard j^gment.
Too much impertinence.
Too much weakness unforgiven.
Too much of bad puns.
Too many courses at dinner.
Too many chestnuts.
Too many liars.
Too many bores.
Too many tiresome plays.
Too many women who support
their husbands.
Too many books written to sell and
not read.
Too many—no there are not too
many babies, and while there are
plenty of babies and plenty of love,
there will always be plenty of happi
ness in the world.—New York Sun

Tho Macon Telegraph says:
The idea embodied in the alliance
platform, that the propper basis for
railroad profits is ths cost of the roads,
i* tho proper one. There is no reason
why the people should pay dividends
on investments of water.
Roods arc clearly entitled to a lair
profit on the actual investments, but
it is an outrage to water stock heavily
and then make shippers pay on these
largo fictitious figures.
The Constitution says :
“Mr. C. B. Townsend, of Tltotnas-
villc, estimates that there are -10,000,-
000,000 feet ot pine forests in the
state of Georgia, worth at least 810
per thousand, 8-100,000,000, which
is more than the taxable value of all
the property, real anil personal, in
state.”
And much of this undeveloped
wealth is in South, .South West and
South East Georgia. This is, i
doubtcdly, the coming section .of the
state.
