Bull Head, a lieutenant ot the In

and his camp, and who fired the two
shots which proved fatal to the old
chief, has since died of wounds receiv

Edwin Booth is much broken in
health. His friends attribute his con

Parnell seems to be gaining ground.
The throwing of lime in his eyes has
not only tended to strengthen the or
der of his followers, but has created'
sympathy for him among his enemies.
Before this unhuman act, betting in
London was against him at moderate
odds, but since Parnell’s’stock is quo
ted at par.
If the branch colleges are finally

debted to President Mitchell for the
result His able speech before the
senate and his untiring labors for
these institutions with the members
of both houses, has greatly reduced
the opposition, and whether the house
finally concurs with the senate in
giving the usual support to the exist
ing branches or cuts them off. Mr.
Mitchell has done his whole duty
and is entitled to the gratitude, not
only of his own constituency, but of
tbo friends of education throughout
the state.
Rain on Indian River.
A cot respondent of the Times-Un-
ion, Jacksonville, writing from Tropic,
a village on Indian River, says:
The heaviest rainfall ever known
here fell on the 14th inst. No meas-
urments were taken, but open vessels
of all kinds sitting out were filled to
overflowing. Thousands of tomato
plants were ‘completely covered with
sand and the truckers here are very
busy for the last two days scratching
them out.
Our Editor in Asheville.
The Asheville* Daily Citizen, in
speaking ol the members of the press
in-attendance upon the convention,
says:J
John Triplett, from the Georgia
press association, left the following on
The Citizen’s editorial desk this morn
ing: “From the land of sun to the
land of snow.”
It seems that John was even more
fortunate than Bill Nye on his first vis
it to Asheville in search of climate.
He found it without any trouble.
In relation to John’s card the Citi
zen adds:
“But all Georgia is white to day—
and not with cotton either.”
The Citizen is mistaken, so far as
South Georgia is concerned. Ice has
not been formed in this section this win
ter, and there are scores of school chil
dren here who never saw the beauti
ful snow.
Kansas City Recommended.
Charleston, S.O., Dec. 18.—Kan
sas City has been recommended by the
advisory council as the next place tor
the annual meeting of the American
Public Health association, 'which is
now in session here.
Our Senator.
As every bedy at home knew would
always be the case, where the interests
of his constituents wers at stake,
President Mitchell was ready for the
coutest in the senate over the appro
priation for the branch colleges, and
nobly did his part as a faithful and
able representative. The Constitu
tion says:
Senator Mitchell made another
masterly argument in favor of the
branch colleges.
“I will support all these amend
ments,’’ said lie, “but I doubt the con
stitutionality of establishing a branch
college simply by a clause in the no-
propiiation bill. We can make these
appropriations for public institut'ons
already established; hut a branch
college must he established, I think,
as ali JJtheee others were, by special
act.”
The Macon Telegraph says :
The p lesident, for the fust time,
addressed the senate at length, resign
ing the chair to Mr. Walker in order
that he might take up the cudgels in
support of the colleges. His idea was
that the branch colleges did the
masses more good than the university,
and it would he better to kill the
mother than her useful oflspring. The
amount asked for the support of the
branches was nothing ns compared
with the enormous amount appropri
ated to common schotjs.
He proposed to amend the branch
college clause by adding the proviso
that no such institution be permitted
to charge more than $10 per year or
85 a term for tuition.
As citizens of Thomas county, we
were greatly gratified at the election
of Mr. Mitchell to (be presidency of
the SeDnte, and feel pride in the fact
that on every proper occasion he has
shown himself so fully worthy of the
high position. We say most heartily
“well done, jgood and faithful ser
vant.”
Private advice from Atlanta would
indicate that senator Mitchell’s amend
ment, will secure the annual appro
priation for the branch colleges.
The general public will owe him a
debt of gratitude for his unselfish
efforts in behalf of the education ot
the people. It is a vahmblo qualifi
cation for a legislator to know wbat
to do, and how to do it.
Mr. Editor:—When the great
question of supporting the branch col
leges, bv the regular annual appropri
ation was being voted upon in the
House of Representatives, the names
of Ivey and Parker the members from
this county do not appear.
There may be some good reason for
the conspicuous absence of these gen
tlemen. The people of this county in
order to secure a branch college here,
paid eleven thousand dollars to hr ng
it about.
I hope our representatives do not
mean to go back on their constituents.
I voted for both these gentlemen, and
why have they not like Senator Mitch
ell stood up to the their people?
Voter
The Branch Colleges.
The Senate stands by the existing
branch colleges and has passed the
original appropriation bill, with Mr.
Mitchell’s amendment which provides
as follows:
To State university, for support
aud maintenance of the branch col
lege, at Dahloncga, 83,000; branch
college at Milledgeville, $2,000;
branch college at Thomasville, 82,-
000; branch college at Cuthbert, 82,-
000; branch college at Hamilton, 82,-
000.
Provided, that none ol said branch
colleges under any pretext whatever,
whether os tuition, matriculation fee,
incidental expenses or otherwise, shall
charge exceeding the sum of 810 per
year or 85 per term for each pupil;
provided further, that any of said
branch colleges charging nn amount
in excess of amount above provided
for shall forfeit the whole amount of
the appropriation for the year in which
said excess of charges shall be made,
and the governor shall withhold his
warrant upon the treasury for the
rame.
But for Mr. Mitchell’s amendment
and his manly fight for them, it is
more than probable that the branches
would have been cut of. The hill
will find strong opposition in the
House, but it is hoped that there arc
enough friends to education among
its members to finally secure the pas
sage of the bill.
