The Georgia, Carolina & Northern will soon link us more directly with the Southwest through Atlanta Thus we are very well connected with every quarter of the commercial world except with the W eat It behooves Athens to seek a Wes tern outlet and to do it at once. The Augusta and Chattanooga is the next victory for Athens to achieve. This ' road will surely be built in the fu ture. It is only a question of time, and why not make it an early date ? The wealth of Chattanooga, Augusta and Charleston is combining for this purpose, and the Piedmont Construc tion Company formed here in Athens last year will find it an easy task to secure a backing in its great underi taking. Tbe need of such a connection as this line would give is obvious. We people of Athens could save enough money on coal alone within a few years to pay our part of the expenses of building a direct line of railway to the coal beds of Tennessee, and the savings in freight on grain and meat from the West would amount to a great sum. The Augusta and Chattanooga should at once attract the attention of every citizen in Athens and North East Georgia.

Most Respectfully, Your Bargain Distributor, MAX JOSEPH. 321 and. 223 Broad Street, GA* is bound to go into enterprises to give occupation to manufacturers and workmen. It cannot be idle in bank. As a great manufacturing centre Angnsta may expect to get its full share of tbe benefit of this r« invest ment of released capital, as well as of the greatly increased demand for manufactured goods. New factories will spring up, necessitating the erection of new dwellings, and tbe volume of local trade will be swelled by the wages expended by a largely increased population. It is safe for GOOD FOR THE FARMERS. The plan recently outlined by tbe Government’s Post office department I the business man to bank upon the for enlarging the facilities of the de- evidences of prosperity which appear partment by giving a service of free delivery in the rural districts is cer tainly a good scheme. ‘ It is a poative disadvantage to the farmers of the country to day that they have such a poor postal com munication with the outside world. They have to send, many of them, five or six mills to a post office fre quently and are even then given but one or two mail a week perhaps* This prevents the farmer from sub scribing for a daily newspaper, which is a history of the world for the last twenty four hours before its publi cation. Hence, the farmer is behind the rest of the world one week. This ought not to be. Our rural districts ought to have abetter postal service. We trust the department will carry out the plan that has been promisingly mapped oot. so unmistakably. Enterprise always anticipates and provides for a pros perous season in trade. A GREAT BUSINESS REVIVAL. A review of the financial and busi ness situation in this conntry gives every encouragement to believe that we are fairly entering upon an unex ampled era of national prosperity, says the Augusta News. Gold is flowing from Europe^ailrcad receipts are steadily increasing, and business and trade are showing all the symp toms of a genuine revival. It has been said that the farmers have preferred to pay off mortgages with the profits of their crops this ir, instead of buying goods, and that, therefore, the chief effect of the abundant harvest will be to transfer creditors millions of wealth to glut money centres. Bat this money must be re-invested, anyhow, and it WINNIE DAVIS- The friends of Miss Winnie Davis will read the following with interest: Miss Winnie Davi* possesses not only the ability to make a profession of her artistic powers, but has de veloped also her literary powers to a practical extent, writes Alice Gra ham McCollin in a sketch of the daughter of Jefferson Davis in the December Ladies’ Borne Journal. She has, of late months, written ex tensively for the current periodicals and reviews of this conntry, and is always a welcome contributor* She sings delightfully, playing her own accompaniments with charming simplicity. In appearance Miss Davis is even prettier than he? portrait makes her Tall, Blender, falr-haired, with gray eyes of peculiar beanty, she is th ideal realization of Southern maiden hood. She has a sweet Southern FOR OUR BOYS. It is gratifying iu the extreme to observe tbe great interest that the people of Georgia are taking now in legislative steps towards bringing higher education within the reach ot tbe yonth ot oar land. Our hope has revived that the Universities of tbe Stale will be bnilt up within the next few years to a degree of excel lence never before realized in Geor gia. Our common schools are al ready being endowed with more money from the State’s treasury and there seems to be a veritable boom for a higher education all over the State. Along with this interest in educa tional institutions it is not at all surprising that tbe literary societies here at the University of Georgia which have been so instrumental in developing such oratory and states manship as that of Toombs and Hill, should also receive a just recognition for their importance. The move ment recently inaugurated for re pairing the hall of the Demosthenian Society meets encouragement in Georgia, and this serves to show how earnest the interest is in higher edu cation. Tbe newspapers of tbe State are taking up the movement for the preservation of the traditions and usefulness of this Society and many of them have given strong editorial endorsement to tbe plans. It is safe to say that the Demosthenian So» ciety will soon have a ball on tbe College campus that will adorn that precions spot of Georgia soil as do no other buildings on the campns. gan to develop into a political party .and threatened to deride, distract and weaken that great time honored and patriotic organization, the demo cratic party, my hope of its useful ness fled, and I believed that its leaders, if they could, would disrupt that party, which, if they dest royed would rui-. the country. When it seemed to be determined to rule or ruin tbe democratic party, it ceased to appeal to my sense of what is best for the farmers and best for the whole country.” . Now, this is good sound talk. It is such doctrine as every Alliancea man in the south ought to preach. The Third party will kill the Alii- ance completely if encouraged. The Alliance is better than the Third party and if one or the other must die let it be the Third party. The Alliance has done great work for the farmers of the South. It is a great campaign of education, but the movement the farmers take the Alliance out of the Democratic party, then and there they cut loose from financial and commercial freedom and give themselves up to political bondage.. « The Alliance and the Democracy must go hand in h$nd. Augusta is already preparing for a grand International Exposition next year. She may count Athens “in it.” Savannah wants deep water and ought to have it. It means much for the whole State of Georgia. ONLY FIVE YEARS OLD. Apples were worth from 12 1 2 cents to 25 cents each in tbe reign of Henry VII. The Atlanta papers all have enter prise and money to back it, so it seems. MAJOR RYALS AND.THE THIRD PARTY, There is, perhaps, not a shrewder statesman in the ranks of Georgia farmers than Major Ryals, the able i representative from Chatham in the voice, and a manner which evidences Georgia Legislature. He is also a the gentle, courteous heart beneath. 1 gentle, Her health has never been good, perhaps because of the privations and suffering to which she was ex posed as an infant, bnt she is in no sense an invalid. Her mother pays tribute to her as *‘ibe best and dear est of daughters,” her father, when on his deadobed, said that she had never disobeyed or given him pain and, without exception, every one who comes at all under her gentle refinement feels her to be a woman with. » -Heart on lier lips and soul within her eyes, Soft as her clime, and sunny as her skies.” successful and progressive farmer. He is as strong a friend and suppor ter of the Allliance as any farmer of Georgia to day, but " he will never allow himself, nor the Alliance if he can help it, to be . dragged into the Third Party movement of those wes tern cranks. The Major says: (( As a farmer, I am profoundly concerned in everything relating to the interests of my brother .farmers. At the outset of the Farmers’ Alli ance movement I deeply sympa thized with most of its avowed pur poses and objects, and was prepared to bid it God-speed. When it be- , A COLD WINTER. If the weather prophets have any claim for recognition, it promiseatc be a very cold and hard winter for both man and beast. Already the cold weather has begun and up to this time we have had perhaps colder weather than was experienced all last winter It will be remembered that last year there were several frightful blizzards oat in the North west and also in Europe, but here in the South the tkies were bright and bine while these storms swept place? were chrystalljzed in ice and 6now This year the South is threatened with cold weather, too, and is having her share of it already.

Hei name is Amber Glenn Corley, , and she was bom June 20, 1886, At i birth she weighed eight pounds; at the age of twelve months, she weighed only I six pounds and at the age of three years | only fifteen pounds. During this time I her parents thought they would lose I her, but after that She commenced to ‘ fatten and has grown to the enormous weight of one hundred and fifteen I pounds. Tbe child was measured by one of the physicians last night, and tbe meas ureuients were as follows: Chest 36 inches; Waist 39 inches; Across the Bhonlders 14 inohes; height 43 inches; around the am one root; around the head 21 inches. 1 The doctors examined the child thoroughly, and pronounced her well- developed and of splendid proportions, there being no abnormal development. The child is perfectly healthy, and h< r parents are both small people. She was asked which one of the gen- t omen was the oldest and immediately sud.lb-d her answer on the hopeless re porter. Mr Corley will be at the Hubbard House for a few days and will have the child on exhibition there. -Editorial Comment The Georgia Weekly downs every thing when it comes to brightness and lifp. :There are r>o dispeptics on tbe Georgia Weekly Press.
