Will somebody lend us a hat for our
tears? It is saddening to contemplate
that the ides of January are so soon to
find the leap year of 1888 pushed into
the vast and dismal space of the subse
quently, and so many of'our magnificent

pumpkins, and Bartow pumpkins will be

Col. Stiiart T. Martin has just returned
from a visit to important centers of cap
ital in the North and from a conversation
with him we are prepared to say the pre
liminary matters have been arranged

benefits of an industrial scheme and a
concentration of capital that is greater
than announced for any Georgia town in
years. We hope to be able to give some
details in our next.

purchase was made through Messrs.
Hoke and Burton Smith, of Atlanta, for
some New York gentlemen, it is under
stood, who contemplate the erection on

ing outside capital to be invested in dif
ferent judicious ways. _
