What ever their coarse may he, it la common to the whole conntry." Similar sentences are being penned every day, bnt these, were written by Abraham Lincoln and delivered aa part of a speech in 1837, sixty-seqen yean ago.

He knows and ad- mine, one of ihomaavillc's trusty trio and speaks of him as follows In the last issue of hit paper. "The friends in Dawaon of [Hoe. Fan- dren Mitchell will be glad to know that be lias agaiu boon chosen to represent Thomas county in the, legislature. Mr. Mitchell who la one of the ablest and most papular young democrats in Geor gia, is a prospective candidate for speak (V of the next house of representatives, and there are many who believe that if be enters the -race he {will* pluck the prize.” The court of inquiry has adjourned, and the usual tedious wait for the pro ceedings to be transcribed and submit ted to tlio governor, will uow ensue.

A diacuaaion has been started In the 8outh Georgia newspapers aa to whetb- er[cr not there are too many secret or. dVre In the towns of this lection. The Albany Herald aaya that there are, and the Anerieoa Times Recorder thinks to too. Most people, especially those who be long to the ordergwill be inclined to disagree with these two estimable news papers. A multiplicity of secret order* la as natural da a multiplicity of denom inations in the Protestant thnacb- All do[good, hot each appeal! to a different Ml of men or to different oharaeterlaMca In the tame man.

We are not married, bnt we have heard our friends who have had the degree of matrimony conferred upon them, talk, and in their eyce an onoericnal vacation la an inestimable boon, Thfnk what it means to a man who haq been ordered (boat the store oroffloe aft day -by an Irritable boas, to pat on a tin crown and a purple mother bnbbard, and be hailed as Unique Panjandrum of the Universe,” In the awe stricken accents of tho better brethren. [.Think wlist it meant to be able to wear[|iteen varieties of braaa badgoa onjyour manly bosom, and to give the grip to[every second man yon meet. Contemplate the joy of helping ont distrained brethren who touch you for your last half dollar. Perish the thought that any of tlioee privileges should be[curtailed. But in all serionsnesg, every secret xAir we ever heard of was baaed on good principles. Their secrets eud flum meries mav be foolish, but they are cer tainly not harmful. If they give pleas ure to the members let them increase and multiply. Secret orders prevent selfishness, widen one’s circle of friends, and teach great lessons. The tnore[ of them the better. No two order* have exactly the same characteristic. Masonry teaches its troths, and morals, Odd Fellowship is noted for its active charity, the Elks scatter smishiuo as they go. and every other has some distinguishing good point. It would be a good tiling for every naan, and Ilia family if lie belonged to a secret ordor. It will not hurt to belong to half a dozen. FALL FEVER. The early fall i* said to witness more cases of fever than any other time of year. South Georgia has often been unjustly exploited ae a hot-bed of fever gems, of the typhoid, malarial and con tinued type. Every part of the conntry ia more or less affiicte with these dis eases.] [For instance Now York’s hospi tal* are now filled and overflowing witli patients from an epidemic of typhoid. There is no more fever here then in other parts of the, state and county. Indeed there ia not as much. — And a great deal of wliat does exist is in the minds of the patieflt. We are not a Christian Scientist and not so foolish as to believe that a rick nun can heal himself by repeating “I am alright." But it ia a fact that people wiio are sick are made a great deal worse by brooding over their real or supposed ailment. It is a habit among people here who feel a trifle bad from anyjcaase to pop a clini cal thermometer into their-months and then to pop into bed crying fever. Any person who keeps hie house and yard clean, wears clean clothes, takes a bath every day, keeps out of the hot sun, and doesn't eat too much is safe from fever, or for that matter from moat of the other ills that hnmag flesh is heir to.
