Pattstown, Pa-, had a disastrous fire on the 13th. Half a dozen busi ness houses were burned. The great clothing house of J. B J’.arnabv &Co., Providence, R.l. was destroyed by fire on the 13th. Boss $400,000, insurance $200,000. Mr. F. H. Richardson, of the Ma- con Telegraph, will go to Atlanta on January, 10ih;to take editorial chargo ot the Atlanta Evening Journal. This means a long shoot forward for the Journal. Mr. Stephens A. Ryan, a well known Atlanta merchant, took out a life poli cy in the New York Life last Siturdav for $100,000. This is said to be one of the largest life policies ever written in the south. Tbo house has passed a bill giving every widow of a deceased coufeder ate soldier, from Georgia, a pension of §100. There was no volo against it in the house, and it will probably pass the senate unanimously. The people of Americns are making n vigorous effort to have Judge Allen Fort appointed ns railroad commit- sioucr. Judge Fort has the credit of bting one of the first and strongest workers for getting up the commission and is an able lawyer. The United States court at Macon started in last Monday to try Luther A. Hall land others for conspiracy and murder of Mr. Forsyth, in Dodge county. The court bad only ob tained seven jurors in tho case up to Saturday evening. “Justice steps with leaden heel," but there is a pros pect that the iron hand will strike before the cases is finished. A few days ago an old darky was repairing the bottom portion of the brick curbing in a sixty foot well in Milledgeville, when the curbing sud denly gave way and the entire wall except about 10 feet, came down on him A force was organized and the work of excavating speadily begun In about seven hours the old mau was unearthed and found absolutely ur. hurt. This is one instance when it paid to be bard headed. The spectacle of a South' Carolina Legislature, composed almost exclu sively of white men who call them selves Democrats,driving noble old Wade Hampton to his political grave is bumilating indeed, Men have lost their heads in Carolina most as 1 suredly. A reaction is apt to follow the hot-headed and short-sighted policy which proposes to put the man Irby in the United State! Senate instead of Wtfle Hampton. This is another movement, we suppose, to step on “old Confederate generals,” and deride their scars—Valdosta Times. Business Improving—The South More Than Holding Her Own. New York, Dec. 12.—R. G Dunn & Co.’s weekly review of trade issued today, says: “Tho business outlook is more hopeful. But the past disturbance and continuing certainty arc felt in a reduced volume of business throughout the countr which though slightly larger than a yea. - ago, no longer shows the matori al increase until recently maintained. The south report! fair business, in spite of the continuing decline in cotton. Spirits move freely at Sa vannah, oranges nt Jacksonville, and sugar, molasses and rice at 'New Or leans, all'at good prices. The supply ot money is ample for the necessities at New Orleans, hut at other points money is tight. “At the west colder weather had helped trade at Cincinnati, Detroit and some other points, but business is only fair-nt Denver, good at Kan sas City, strong at St. Louis and fair at St. Paul. At Chicago business continues much larger than last year. At Pittsburg the worst is thought to he over, though .iron has declined and there is less demand for manu factured products. Philadelphia notes little improvement, though jew elry is active nt narrow margins < f profit • and less ^complaint than was expected is heard in the clothuig trade. The shoe trade notes a sharp falling of! especially in the southern demand. Boston observes nu im proved demand for leather at lower prices, and retail dry goods active for the seasonable products, but wool sales are small and wholesale sales generally quiet. The Pessimist. If the Lord left any snakes in Para dise after the <ettlement of the primal fuss they took the shape of the man who is a confirmed cynic and pes simist. The man who lias nolaith, no enthusiasm, no candor, no sentiment. The man who laughs at the mention of good in the world, or virtue in wo men, or honor among men. The man who calis his wife a fool because she teaches his little children to say their prayers, and curls his lip at any belief in a world beyond the gtave. The man who has never seen anything worth admiring in the sky when the dawn touches it, or the stars illuminate it, or the clouds sweep it, or the rain iolds it in gray mists of silence. The man who lives in this sparkling, shin'ng world as a frog lives in a pond or a toad in a ccllaV, only to croak and spit venom. The man who never saw anything in a rose aglir.t in the sun light or in a lilly asleep in '.he moon light but a species of useless vegetable, the inferior of the cabbage and the on ion. The world is overfull of such men, and Jif I had the right sort of broom I’d sweep them aiffty as the new “girl sweeps spiders.-‘Chicago Hera'd. " More sugar is now made from beets then from BUgar cane, and tho results >f the beets-8ugar industry at Grand [aland, Neb., havo encouraged the rormerswho are interested in beet rugnr in the belief that it is possible to make the sugar-beet industry a profitable one in this country. Over iixtecn tons of beets can be grown in* an acre, and they serve not only tor the production of sugar, but also is feod for stock in the pulpy condi tion. Discoveries and inventions are rapidly cheapening the cost, and in a tow more yeart there is n possibility >f sugar-beet factories springing up in ill sections. FUKMITTOE, (}EO. W.

The new route between the Not Ik and the f^outh • is called the “Cumberland Gap” route. The Force Bill- There seems to be a strong prospect now that the iniquitous attempt by President Harrison and his friend Reed to take control of the election and have their strickers count the bal lots their way, will break down in i day or two. There are yet a few Re publican senators who consider them- stlves the servants of (the people, and do not believe boss Reed and Harri son lo be all tho f people. ASK YOUR GROCER FOR FL =-= IP. 3P.
