January ist is Arbor Day in Florida.
Congressmen will take a brief holi

The Valdosta Times is one of the
best weeklies in the state,
The Twitty bill has been postponed
until tbe summer session.
When a girl is in love she thinks
the young man is perfect, and he
agrees with her.—Summervilo Jour

Senator Sewart,of Nevada,although
a pronounced republican, is bitterly
opposed to the force bill. Good
for Senator Stewart.
Even men who ran billiard rooms
during the war are applying tor pen
sions. They claim that they stood
where the balls were the thickest.—
Brunswick Times.
The summer session had to be held
all the same. It will be a picnic up
there in summer. The fact is that all
sessions of the legislature should be
held in summer, or early fall.
There should be no antagonism bo
tween democrats. We're all in the same
boat down here, and must pull togeth

Touch elbows, democrats, from Dade
to Chatham.
Missourians believe in “the good

Harrison threatens not to be a can.
didate for re election, if the force bill
is not put through! The democrats
would like nothing better than to see
the little man renominated. It would
largely compensate for the passage of
the force bill.
* »l* —
Some people are borne to become
tho victims of hallucinations. Mr.
Harrison actually believes that he will
be nominated again in 1892.—Ex.
Harrison is the only man in this
broad country who entertains such
an opinion.
Third party delegates will meet in
convention at Cincinnati, Ohio, on
the 23rd of February. Will Georgia
be represented there, For the honor
of the Empire State of the South, and
in behalf of the democratic party, we
sincerely hope that not one delegate
will respond for Georgia.
New York City has now no less
than 128 hotels, and yet, declares
the New Orleans Times-Democrat,
these are utterly, insufficient to meet
the demands of tho traveling public
that seeks shelter withiq its gates. In
the near future at least a dozen moro
will be constructed. This condition
of things exists notwithstanding the
fact that the metropolis during the
past ten years has doubled its hotel
accommodations.
The Augusta Chronicle says:
“Nine Governors of New York
have been elected to tbe United States
Senate—Christon, Van Buren,Morey,
Wright, Dix, Seward, Fish, Morgan
and Trenton. Three have been elect
ed Vice President of tbe nation—
Clinton, Tompkins and Van Buren.
Three governors of New York have
been elected President—Van Buren,
Tilden and Cleveland. And Cleve
land will be elected iu 1892:

Snow in Virginia.
Harrisonburg, Va, Dec. 18.—The
heaviest snow storm since the year of
1857, prevailed here Tuesday and
Wednesday. The weather was very
cool and the wind blew a perfect hur
ricane. Buildings in course of erec
tion were blown down, while roofs
and sheds were mashed in by the
weight of the snow. The’snow is very
wet and heavy, and about twenty two
inches deep on the level, and drifted
in some places from eight to ten feet
deep. In the mountains West of here,
the snow is said to be drifted to a
depth of twenty to thirty feet.
Wheeling, W. Va., Dec. 18—The
most terrific snow storm for six years
has been raging for twenty-four hours,
and a great amount of damage has re
sulted. All telegraphic communica
tion was |cut off all day yesterday.
The city telephone, telegraph and fire
alarm system is completely wrecked,
and railway traffic is terribly delayed.
The loss is large. The street cars are
not running, and hack lines arc taking
their places. Little business has been
done. There are lively apprehensions
of a flood in the city.
The Very Rich Men.
Andrew Carnegie is the richest
Scotchman in tbe woild, and lie docs
not care who knows it. He began
work at 83 per week and bis income
last year exceeded oucmillion dol- 1
lars. He gives freely to charity and
public enterprises, but personally be
is inclined to enjoy life while he lives
and to take coaching tours through
Scotland, rather than to leave a for
tune for some one else to spend after
he is gone. John D. Rockefeller was
also poor, but was lucky enough to
secure good situations early in life.
Ho stepped into the oil business from
a position as bookeeper at 8100 a
month. Now he is probably the
richest man in the world, and the
company with which he is identified
employs an army of perhaps 40,000
men. Although John D. Rockefeller’s
name alone is always assoeiated with
the Standard Oil Company, he has
two brothers—William and Frank—
each of whom is worth many millions
which the Standard has earned.
Christmas Mince Pie.
In the old time the Christmas sea
son properly began on the 15th of
December (described in the Prayer-
book calendar as O Sapientia) and
ended January G, with Twelfth night.
When tho learned Dr. Parr was
asked what day in December it was
proper to begin eating mince pie he
said: “Begin on O Sapientia but
please to say Christmas pie, not mince
pie—mince pie is Puritanical." If
there is any merit in eating mince
pie, ns this association of it with tho
holy season seems to imply, then we
have a certain test of the piety of
tho Pilgrims to New England, for
they and their descendants did not
hesitate to eat mince pie any day in
the year they could get it and had so
much grace that they could take it
with impunity for breakfast on a
summer morning.—Charles Dudley
Warner in Harper’s.
Somewhat Mixed.
The Quitman Press thus alludes to
the marriage ot Mr. Mashal Hopper
and Miss Mary AidermaD, both of
Brooks county:
“Mr. Thomas Alderman is Sir. J.
H. Hopper’s son-in-law, Mr. Alder
man’s second wife being a Miss Hop
per. Miss Mary, tho handsome bride,
is his first wife’s child. Thus it will
be seen that Mr. Hopper’s son is son-
in-law of this father’s son-in-law and
is also son-in-law of his own brother-
in-law, etc."
The principal demands ol the Farm
ers’ Alliance—Tariff reform and finan
cial ' reform—have long formed the
foundation stones of sound democratic
doctrine, and the Alliance will find its
natural ally in the democratic pa-ty,
just as it has already found its natur*
al opponent in the republican party.
It is well to keep these facts in mind
when discussing the political future.—
Ex. .
Certainly at the South the Alliance
cannot afford to cut loose from the
democratic party. And they will not.
One hundred years ago there were
twenty-five persons living in tho
country to every one in tho cities.
Now the proportion is only three to
one.
