Fulton county will probably bold
her primary in July.
Gen. Jo Johnson will unveil the Lee
statue, in Richmond, on the 291I1.
The ramie plant is bein; successful
ly grown in Louisiana. Why should
it not be grown in South Georgia?
John Inman has been offered
premium of 2 1-2 per cent, on the
block of Georgia bonds which he late
Iv bought.
Hon. F. G. DuBignon says the
passage and enforcement ot a federal
election law will cause blood shed in
the South.
The famous Woolfolk case was to
have been called in the Supreme
court, yesterday. Col. Rutherford is
working like a trojan for his client
Mr. Blount, of Georgia, takes the
place of the late Mr. Randall on the
committee on rules. Georgia Con
gressmen are generally found at the
front.
They voted pensions the other day
to two foster mothers and two step-
mothers. The pension business has
run mad. Now let some one intro
duce a bill to pension some bounty
jumpers mother-in-law.
'lhe two most powerful religious
denominations in the United States,
the Methodists and iiiptists, are
holding conventions, the first in St
Louis and the latter in Fort Worth
Texas. At least the Southern branch
cs of these churches are thus engaged
Reed, McKinley & Co., have limit
ed the debate on the infamous tariff
bill reported by the republicans in
congress, but they can’t limit the de
bate before the people. On the hus
tings the bridles will be taken off.
And then the fur will fly.
There are sixteen negro jockeys in
the country who are paid from $2,500
to $8,000 a year, but not a colored
minister in the United States receives
one half the less of these sums. It
appears that horse racing is much
mere profitable to the colored brother
than preaching.—News.
It turns out that Joel Chandler Har
ris started the elephant move in At
lanta in the interest of the thousands
of children in that city. It is just
like him. And now every little tot in
Atlanta is in love with Uncle Remus.
Could his reward be greater? Joel
Harris has a warm and tender heart,
as is shown in every line of his writings.
May his red head never turn gray.
The German army, the most pow
erful in the world, will cost this year
a little over $90,000,000. The United
States military expenditures for the
same period will amount to about
$150,000,000, though we have no
army worth speaking of. The differ
ence arises from the tact that in Ger
many money spent on the army really
goes to the making of soldiers, while
in this country nearly all of it is used
in buying voters.—Telegraph.
The McMillan Mashes Milliken of
Maine.
That was a lively tilt between Mc
Millan, of Tennessee, and Milliken, of
Maine, the oilier day in the house.
Milliken asked McMillan il one hun.
dred thousand republican voles bad
not been suppressed in the South at
the last presidential election. Facing
the man Ironi Maine, and rising to his
greatest height, the plucky Tennessee
an thtindrcd out:
“No, sir, that is absolutely false—
absolutely false. [Applause on the
democratic side J I am tired of this
business of a lot of people standing
back thanking God that they are not
wicked like others, when their own
record is as rotten as a cancer’s sore,
[Applause to the democratic side ]
What is your record ? You stole one
presidency and bought another; and
now you talk about suppressing votes
There was a conflict waged in 1888
and this settled something. Let
see bow it was waged. It is a fact
known by all men that the fat was
fried out of the manufacturers all over
the country for campaign purposes,
Go to the postoflicc department and
ask your postmaster-general how much
money he contributed."
That is str.king straight out from
the shoulder. Three cheers for Me
Milhn of Tennessee.
The Express Robbery.
Th 2 Constitution of last week con
lained a full account of the express
robbery, and on Friday last Sheriff
Simkius had worked up sufficient evi
deuce on Ralph Barbour to almost
convince him that Barbour was t
man who committed the robbery,
he wrote Barbour a note to come
his office, as he wished to see him on
important business. Barbour sent
the sheriff word that he would be
around in a few minutes, but, instead
of going to Maj. Simkins he went to
the depot and took the train for his
home at Boston, Mass. That night
Sheriff Simkins telegraphed to the
authorities at several places to be on
the watch out and capture Baibour.
He was arrested at Savannah, and
Sheriff Simkins left here Saturday
night to bring him back ; he arrived
Sunday and was brought before Judge
I’uleston Monday for trial.
Tnrough his attorney, D. A. Fin
layson, Esq., he waived examination
and was placed under $1,000 bond to
appear at the fall term of court.
He has confessed to the theft and
gave no reason lor it.—Monticello
Constitution.
Discouraging Immigration.
We would not advise you to come
West under the idea that you can
make a car load of money in your
business in a year or two. There are
not only plenty of undcr-takers out
this way, but, owing to certain peculi
arities, the business is not as flourish
ing as it might he. Uur people don’t
make much ol funerals. The idea is
that after a man is dead he isn’t good
lor much, and it’s wonderful how
cheap you can cut the figures, if you
so desire. For instance, the last man
we shot figures on us as follows :
Drinks fur coroner's jury
Uox for remains
Digging grave
Headboard
Services of dray

McKinley’s tariff bill is receiving
some heavy hits. Roswell I*. FI >wer,
of New York, dealt it sonic healthy
blows:
Mr. Flower summed up his opinion
of the bill by reciting the legened that
was found pinned to a corpse on a
victim of Judge Lynch in a Western
territory. "He was a pretty mean
man in some respects, but he was a
blamed sight worse in others.”
Many a man who is a good shot in
this world hopes to miss fire in the
next.—Boston Bulletin.
You don’t get things much below
this figure, while the people here won’t
stand much of a raise on it. We’d
like your society and we’d like your
aid to nclp build up the town ; but,
when you ask us for facts and figures,
have got to give them to you
traight.
Five Wives in one Year.
Cincinnati Commercial: Thomas
Wedge was granted a decree of
divorce in the Elkhart Circuit Court
Saturday, and was again married the
same day. This is Wedge's fifth mat
rimonial venture. He was divorced
from his first wile in April, 1889. He
was married, divorcing No. 2 in Au
gust. Wife No. 3 he was legally
separated from i,i October. Friday
lie obtained a decree from bis fourth
wife. Three divorces were obtained
in this county and one in Elkhart.
Five wives'n less than one year is quite
a record.
There is no man so wise that a fool

will—Somerville Journal.

A correct map ot the northwest w ill show
that the .Northern Pacific railroad traverses
the central portion of Minnesota, North Da
kota, Montana and Washington for u dis
tance ot nearly 2,000 miles; it is the only
railroad reaching Jnmetown, Bismarck, Miles
City, Aillings, Livingston, Bozeman, Mis
soula, Cheney, Davenport, Palouse City,
Sprague, /btzvillc, Yakima, Ellensburg, Ta
coma, Seattle and in fact nine-tenths of tile
northwest cities, towns, and points of inter
est.
The Northern Pacific is the shortest trans
continental route from St. Paul aud Chicauo
Helena, Butte, Anaconda, Deer Lodge,
Spokane Palls, Walla Walla, Dayton and
Portland, and the only one whose through
trains reach any portion of the new state of
Washington. Land seekers purchasing Pa
cific Coast second class tickets via. St. Paul
and the Northern Pacific have choice from
that point ot free Colonist Sleeping Cars or
Pullmnn’s Tourist I-’uruishcd Sleepers at
charges as low ns the lowest.
por the benefit of settlers the Northern
Pacifis also gives a ten day stop over privi
lege on second class North Pacific Coast
tickets at Spokane Falls and each and every
point west, including over 125 stations in
Washington, thus enabling persons seeking
a home to examine this vast territory with
out incurring an expense of from $5 to $25
in traveling on local tickets from point to
point.
insure for yourself comfort mid safety by
haring the best accommodations afforded,
thereby avoiding change of cars, re-check-
ing of baggage, transfers and lay overs en
route. Money can be saved by purchasing
tickets via. St. Paul or Minneapolis and the
Northern Pacific.
