It says : •‘The alleged ‘Citizens’ Alliance” in the West, is said to he composed of men who are not farmers, but who subscribe to the principles of the Farmers’ Alliance, is not likely to make nny headway -with its proposed third party. The truth is, the people ol the West are a unit in the matter of obtaining financial relief in some shape, and the democratic party meets their wants better than the third party would.”—True, O, proph et. RUINED BY A PRIZE. How a Lottery Ticket Cut Short the life of an Atlantian. From the Macon Telegraph: Will the democratic tidal wave nev- er[stop? Dover, New|Hampshire, elect ed a democratic mayor last Thursday, for the first time in thirty years. There are 12,000,000 school chil dren in the United States. Our pub lic schools employ 347,292 teachers and cost $122,455,252 last year. They will cost several millions more this year. It will be observed that, as the people become better educated, the stronger grows the Democratic party. Religious statistics are scldomjrelia- hie, but according to the best infor mation there arc in the United States about 8,500,000 Roman Catholics, 4,- 700,000 Methodists, 3,900,000 Bap tists, 1,250,000 l'resbytcrians, 460,000 Episcopalians, 1,110,000 Lutherans, 205,000 Unitarians, 350,000 Quakers r- N ->» • i.1 Veu have nominated J. L. Sargent mayor and he will undoubtedly be elected. Mr. Sar gent was a republican until that party went wild on the protective idea. He supported Mr. Cleveland lor President in 1884 and 1SS8 and made some ef fective speeches in both campaigns. Mr. Sargent is the largest manufactur er ofhardwarcin the United States and he says his business is frightfully ham pered by the tariff. For the past six yeir< h: has acted with the democrats io stite and national contests. Mr. Sargent, by the way, is a brother-in- law of Hon, N. J. Hammond, of At lanta. Old man Edwards, of Atlanta dead—Major G. F. Edwards. He died on Sunday, The story, c’osing with his death, is a strange one. It's patheti: in its way too. About 'eighteen months ago the message came to Atlanta one morn Ing that one-tenth of the capital prize had been drawn in Atlanta. What a commotion and excitement there was amongst the people that had tickets! What a comparing o( numbers and speculating! Then next morning the story printed about this o!d nnn Edwards, an engineer in the Journal press room, who had drawn $15,000. He had been all his life a poor man. He worked hard, had acquired a httl home of his own, and was steady, quiet and home-loving. His children were all grown and married; but the old man and wife were tenderly cared for, and there wasn’t a happier little home in Atlanta than that of old man Edwards. The lottery ticket ruined him ! The $15,000 brought domestic trouble; it bred intemperate habits, brought on srancal anJ gossip. The home was broken up; the lives of the children were made miserable by the treamicnt of their mother, culminating finally in suit for divorce. The old man cut his former acquain tances, was insolent and overbearing towards his relatives, squandered mon lavishly upon women and horses, and drank all the tune. lie furnished talk for the boys about town; his puerile escapades and ridic ulous adventures would make a book. His money lost him his home, his friends, his happiness, He was a mis erable man. He lived mechanically, growing grayer and feebler. Now he is dead ! Preachers might search in vain for a better text than that old man’s life. — Savannah Daily Times. A $50,000 Dinner Set. The Astor tamily possesses a gold dinner service that is the envy of every woman who has ever seen it. It is one of the most costly in this country. It is valued at $50,000 and is now the property of Mrs. Wiiliam Astor. It has been in the lamilv’s possession a long time; it would be hard to de scribe, it as it was made in different parts ot the world, and was picked up on odd occasions. It is unique and has been talked about more than any other dinner set in this country. The large dishes consist of an immense plateau and center.piece, end pieces, candelabrums, wine coolers and pitchers. In the design is represented fruit of all description, together with the uascorn and lion in repouse work:. Mrs. Astor uses a white linen table cloth ot the finest texture, made es pecially for her, with a wide lace bor der showing a lining of pink satin. Her table is always decorated with Glorie de Paris roses, their exquisite shade of pink rtlatching exactly the satin underneath. The poor dining off plain crockery, probably cracked, no doubt enjoy their food as much as docs Mrs. Astor and her aristocratic friends. At least the digestion of the former is better. Women in the Church. Philadelphia, Dec. 3.—The ques tion, ‘‘Shall women be admitted into the general conference as lay dele gates?” lias been submitted to the congregations of all Methodist church es in the United States, and members of each were allowed to vote upon it. The voting was all done during Octo ber and November, mainly in the latter ino.iih. Tin. 1 results from the churches througtiout the country are not all in as yet, but the Philadelphia Methodist will say to morrow that enough of the returns have been re ceived to show that the women have carried the day, and so far as the pop ular will goes they arc entitled to seats in the general conference as lay del egates. There is a disposition in the legisla ture to pass a general prohibition law, or'something very near akin to it, in Georgia. The people are satisfied with the present admirable local option law in force. Bet it stand. FURNITURE !<=>-&. 3 175 BROAD STREET, MASURY HOTEL BUILDING.
