MONEY FOR THE WORLD’S FAIR.
Speaking about the World's Fail
and tbe advisability of Georgia bav
ing an exhibit there, it may not b
by the | out of piaci- just here and now to ob
serve what other States are doing
State appropriations pending, de*
fealed and -signed, as shown bv a
bulletin just issued by the WorldV
Pair management, are as follows :
We would, if it were possible, save
Grady’s grave from the dishonorable
use to which the Georgia politicians
would now put it, and we would have
Governor Hill to know aud feel that a
funeral demonstration should not be
converted into a political camp meet
ing. He might speak at Grady’s grave
from now until the last trump shall
sound and he and his claquers will
never b£ able to convince the thought
ful, intelligent and conservative people
of Georgia, nine-tenths of whom are
not in sympathy with his political aspi
rations, that the real object of bis mis
sion to Atlanta is not more to help Hill
than it is to honor Grady.—Charleston
News and Courier.
Everything is yellow to tbe jaundiced
eye, and the political editor of the News
and Courier exposes bis disposition to
drag the name of of poor, deadHEXBY
Grady into tbe presidential campaign
and use it falsely against Hill. The
Bannkr is no Hill paper any more than
it is a Cleveland paper, but we do pro
test against the iniquitous policy of the
News and Courier disturbing the sol
emn occasion of unveiling the monu
ment of Henry Grady with base polit
est slanders heaped upon tbe orator ot
the day, just"because that paper opposes
him for the presidency.
If the -late lamented Adam Fore-
pacgh meets the late lairo-nnted 1’iun-
kas T. Barnon on “the other side” and
the two “get together” they will prob
ably put tbe greatest combination “on
tbe road” that has ever been seen in the
celestial regions.—Indianapolis Senti
nel.
It is safe to say in this connection that
the unscrupulous, sacreligious editor of
the Sentinel will never be on hand up-
shere to advertise the show.

ASHING TON,
D. C., April 11.
—Mr. Harrison’s
new chum and
most potential
adviser 13 ex-
Representative
McKinley, who
bids fair to be
come a monoma
niac on the tariff
bill enacted by the billion dollar con
gress, and which bears his name. Mr.
M Kinley, who knows that reciprocity,
even of tbe limited kind proposed by
Mr. Biaine, would eventually result in
the death of the doctrine of a high pro
tective tariff, by causing its absurdities
to shine even more conspicuously than
they do at the present time, has been
working on Mr. Harrison for quite a
while to convince him that he must
8top Mr. Blaine, even if it was necessary
to force him out of the cabinet. Noth
ing would have suited Mr. Harrison
lietter, but he was afraid of Biaiue, and
having obtained his promise to stand off
and let him get renominated, if he
conld, as.he did not care to anger him,
but tbe indications now are that Mc
Kinley has fully succeeded, for no cab
inet officer ever got a more direct snnb-
bing from tbe president than Mr. Blaine
did when Mr. Harrison positively for
bid his receiving any propositions in
formally or otherwise from the Cana
dian commissioners who had been in
vited here by Mr. Blaine.
It would not, have injured Mr. Harri
son in the slightest or have helped Can
adian reciprocity for Mr. Blaine to have
kept hisengagementavith the Canadians
and heard thir informal propositions,
hut Mr. Harrison was determined to
snub the Canadians as well as Mr.
Blaine, and in spite of the diplomatic
smiles with which the Canadians re
ceived Mr. Blaina’s little fib, manufac
tured for the occasion, about the Presi
dent wishing to be present when their
proposition was submitted, they/‘/new
that reciprocity with us was as//ad as
a door nail as long as Alt. H* Ason is
President, and that they would never
be sent for to submit their propositions
to him.
He who thinks that Mr. Blaine will
tamely submit to being insulted does
not know tbe man. One of his close
personal friends said to me: “Owing
to the incompleted condition of a num
ber of most important diplomatic nego
tiations Mr. Blaine’s bands aie for the
present tied, but when he gets things in
such shape that be can leave them with
out endangering bis own reputation,
woe be unto Benjamin Harrison, if be
shall not before then have made his
peace,' and if Bill McKinley isn’t care
ful he will, discover that Mr. Blaine
wields considerable influence in Ohio.”
In resigning from the Senate Mr.
Edmunds did not forget his lifelong
thrifty habits. He makes it take effect
next November, which gives him an op
portunity to continue drawing the sal
ary during the recess, without doing
any work. There is no doubt here that
the whole thing is cut and dried and
that the governor of Vermont will, just
before Congress meets, appoint Secre-
ry Proctor to fill Mr. Edmunds unex
pired term in the senate.
Secretary Foster has selected ex Rep

and he 16 now wrestling with the i ri* ul-
of several candidates to determine who
shall be Supervising Architect of the
Treasury in place of Mr. Wlndrim, who
resigned to accept a better place in
Philadelphia. Added to this task is the
arduous duty Mr. Foster has taken
npon himself of compelling the republi
can machine in New York, through the
Federal offices, to favor Harrison for a
re-nomination.

GRACE SUFFICIENT.
I told my people the other morning,
when preaching front the text, “My
grace is sufficient for thee,” that for the
first time in my life I experienced what
Abraham felt when he fell upon his face
and laughed. ,i».
1 was riding home, very weary with
a long week’s work, when there came
to my mind thia text, “My grace is suf
ficient for thee,” but it came to me with
the emphasis laid upon the two words;
“My grace is sufficient for thee.”
My soul said: “Doubtless it is. Sure
ly the grace of the infiuite God is more
than sufficient for such a mere insect as
I am,” and I laughed and laughed
again to think how far the supply ex
ceeded all my needs. It. seemed to me
as though 1 were a little fish in the sea,
and in my thirst I said, “Alas, I shall
drink up the ocean.”
Then the Father of water lifted up
his head sublime, and smilingly replied:
“Little fish, the boundless main is suf
ficient for thee.” The thought made un
belief appear supremely ridiculous, as
indeed it is.—C. H. Spurgeon.
TWO DRAGONS.
Thackeray was a victim of the dis
tressing habit of procrastination. He
was always behindhand with his work,
and always haunted with the spectre of
some unfinished task. One of his charm
ing little sketches represents him en
deavoring to escape from his room,
while a printer’s boy leans against the
door to keep him in.
He recognizes his fault and often be
moaned it..
One day he was visiting the studio of
Baron Marochetti with Bayard Taylor,
when their host took down a small en
graving from the wall and presented it
to him, The subject was “St. George
and the Dragon.’*
Thackeray inspected It with great de
light for a few minutes, until suddenly
becoming grave, he turned to Taylor
and said:
“I shall hang it near the head of my
bed, where I can see it every morning.
We all have our dragons to fight. Do
you know yours? I know mine. I
have not one, but two.”
“What are they?” Taylor asked.
“I could not help smiling,” says Tay
lor, “as 1 thought ot the prodigious
amount of literary labor he had per
formed, and at the same time remem
bered, the simple comfort of his dwelling
next door.”
“I am serious,” Thackeray continued.
“I never take up the pen without an
effort; I work only from necessity; I
never walk out without seeing some
pretty, useless thing which I want to
buy. Sometimes I pass the same shop
window every day for months and resist
the temptation, and think I’m safe; then
comes the day of weakness, and I yield.
I shall look at this picture and think of
my dragons, though I never expect to
overcome them.
Miserable as he made himself with
self-reproaches, however, he left behind
him a priceless addition lo the library
of English literature in the group of
novels which teach us to he gentle and
forbearing, to despite pettiness ot spirit,
and to exalt all that is piire and unsel
fish.—Youth’s Companion.

Mr. Henry Bishop of the Paper Mill, Is
Dead,
On Sunday nignt, at ■ about half past
eight o’clock, after a painful illness of
about eleven weeks, Mr. Heniy Bish
op passed away. He had reached his
three score and ten and was pushing on
towards four score years, when the sum
mons came.
Mr. Bishop cr.me'.to Athens over forty
years ago, aud
lias be
of our county. Before -settling
ens, and Clarke ^ounty', ho had lived . .
‘ f some years in ono of the northwest-
rn state*, aud had spent some time w&
the city of Mexico.
At one time be was in charge of the
Botanic Gardens, which for years was
connected with the University.
After giving up this position he took
charge of the Paper Mill and run thi
works for mrny years, and after reti
ing from that business spent the remain
der of his life on his farm near tne Pa
per Mill.
Mr. Bishop was a most lovable mao,
warm hearted and genial, and won
friends wherever he formed acquaint
ances. His bright and cheeriul words
were always calculated to uissipate mo
rose or gloomy feelings, and inspire
brightness and good cheer in every
company.
He was a public spirited man, and
watched closely the public affairs of the
county and state, and was always on
the side of morality, law and order and
good government.
But above all Mr. Bishop was a good
man. From early life he had been a de
vout member of the Episcopal church.
'Veil docs the writer remember being at
his bedside a few years ago, when he
was sorely afflicted and the end was ex
pected, of how strong and abiding was
his faith. Not a cloud intervened, and
he felt assured of a blessed immortality,
ana through all the weariness of his re
cent affliction, the same bright and
cheering faith sustained and comforted
hiqj. Though weak in body he was
strong in faith, and nas no doubt enter
ed into the. rest prepared for the peoplo
of God.
The bereaved family have the sincere
sympathy of a large circle of friends.
The funeral will take place at the resi
dence on this (Tuesday) morning at ten
o’clock.
