Terry, formerly Miss Lilly Jones, now of Mississippi, who has been on a visit to relative* iu Brooks and Thonpys, left y esterday tor liyr iyomc at Crystal Springs, Miss. 0,nc noble work every city in Geor gia could do with credit to itself in the next five years, and that is to erect a handsome monument to overy mossback, oroakcr and orank which dios within its midst. A suitable in scription on 6uch monuments that would he a warning to all future gen erations, would be: “Hero lies an enemy to the human race; a man who tried to pull down all the good work of his fellow beings: “Heryuiescat in liadcs.”-r=News and Advertiser, Al bany. Yes, and let tew anti short be the prayers that’s said; for few will mourn the dead. A Generous Action. It has been said that corporations have no souls, that they are grasping, selfish and heartless, This is not always the case. Here is a case in point: A short time since, and with out any solicitation, too, General Man ager Haines, of the Plant system, vol untarily advanced the pay of conduc tors from $80 to 8100. This gener- erous action of the mangement of the Plant system is highly appreciated by the gentlemen whose salaries have been advanced. And the system will not lose anything by it. Every man sharing in the advance will feel that he owes the campany his very best servic es. And he company will get it. While strikes and other troubles are annoying many railroad systems, the Plant system, by generous, fair treat ment of its employes, hqn never had any serious tvoufcle. And how much hetter this is, In noticiug the honors heaped on Mr. Moody, by the State Alliance, we failed to mention tho (act that he was appo\n(ed as cate of the delegates from the state to tho national convention of the AUhtnec, to bo held this fall in Ounla, Fla. The Georgia Farmers’ AHianee. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 21—The Georgia state alliance finished its la bors to day aud adjourned. The most important action was the unanimous passage of a resolution indorsing the platform of the national alli ance adopted at the St. Louis conven tion. This carries with it, of courso, a Unanimous endorsement of the sub- treasury plan, which is ono of the principal planks of thnt platform as is government ownership of transporta- tionlines. Cotton bagging wa3 adopted ns the allinnco covering pf cotton ns against tnc juto. Quailing Before Quay. Washington, Aug. 21.— Senator Quay has won. The force bill sena tors have surrendered, and the hill goes over until next session. Presi dent Hnrrison, Speaker Reed, Senator Hoar and all their followers have been routed by the shrewd and courageous chairman of tho national republican committee, and tho force hill, over which Senators Hoar and Lodgo have wept with eloquent tears, and which President Harrison nnd Speaker Rccd have so urgently declared to be far more important than any other legis lation, has been switched into a ditch The Sea Serpent ts Oead. Halifax, N. S. Aug. 18.—Cnpt. Knowlton, of the schooner Trader, at the Advocate harbor, reports that while on his way home from Boston he. sighted wliat he supposed to lie the wreck of a vessel on aide, but what proved to hq the dead carcass of a gi- gantio sea monster, unlike any lie had ever seen. They were within twelve feet of it, and it seemed to he SO feet long aud 20 feet broad, covered with shell on its back. It tapered off small at eaelt end, and was striped like a /eUrs, It had tho appearance of hav ing been run into by a vessel, as its shell was broken in. Some skipper will discover another one next year. Lilly in Jail. A dispatch from Murphy, N. C., yesterday, says: Mrs. Lillian M. Gould, who was arrayed here yesterday at the instance of the Gould family in England, waived examination this morning and was committed tq jail to await the action of the October superior court. It will be remembered that she stabbed and killed her husband in Murphy, a few weeks ago. The steps of progress advance slow ly in Chinn. Though the government has grown more liberal in its views re specting modern scientific improvo- ments, the masses of the people ap pear to be as determined in their op position to them as they ever were, A small experimental railway recent ly built in the province ot Cnibls was torn up by a mob because they consid ered it responsible for the floods which have devastated that region sinco its construction. Heading fir Savannah. The News, says: Guytonians have been surprised and delighted to see the surveying corps of the Macon and Savannah Con struction Company, which is locating the lines for the Macon and Atlantic railroad from Macon to Savannah. The surveying corps is under the direction of Capt. T. P. Stanley, a graduate of the State UniversAy at Athens and a son of the late Maj Marcellus Stanley, who at the first sound of war carried to Savannah as captain the celebrated Troup Artillery, which did such effective service in Lee’s army. Capt. Stanley surveyed the line from Tilton to Thomasville. Bees Fooled to Death. The electric light has puzzled the bees iu Jamaica. A beekeeper near a largo hotol being built at Kingston, recently found his hives in the utmost confusion, with many bees lying about exhausted or dead. The. olcctric light was used at the hotel iu order tlmt the building operations should contin ue all night, so tho bees mistook the light for daylight and would go out to hunt pollen around the neighbor hood thus illuminated. Whet they came homo they found that the real daylight was dawning, ami they flew off again without any rest till they literally worked themselves to death. Who Are Eligible. Wc take thejfollowing from thejpro- ceedings of the Stale Alliance, now in session in Atlanta: The committee appointed to revise the constitution made the eligibility clause identical with that of the national alliance, providing that no one shall be admitted to membership in the order unless lit- be a farmer, farm laborer, mechanic, country school teacher, country preacher, country physician, country editor or the editor of a strictly agricultural journal.

Two laborers were fear fully injured by the explosion. Many valuable paintings and much of the furniture was saved, but the house is ruined, The loss is $30,000 and the insurance $19,500. The Augusta Chronicle knows a good matt when it sees him. That in fluential, clear-headed journal says: Stale Senator Robt. G. Mitchell, of Thomas county, is an able statesman, n gallant soldier aud a popular man. He has been in the Senate before. Tho Chroniclo further says; Monroe county is pushing Cobb very close. She wants the presidency of the Senate and tho speakership of the Rouso. She will hardly get both. IVe believe that the balance of the state will recognize the claims of the wire grass, in the matter of the presi dency of the Senate, and that Hon. Robert G, Mitchell will till the posi tion. A bloody battle with New Mexican outlaws was fought near Beaver Lake, Texas, Monday, during which five men were killed.
