The Albany Herald has this to say on an important question: “Unless the laws are made more stringent and are in <re rigidly enforced, fish ing in the streams of Georgia will soon be u tiling of the past. Ni ilher n net nor a (rap of any kind shouhj be allowed in any running stream, except for sliad fishing in the rivets in season.” The cold weather of last week has done serious damage to the peach crop.

If Germany has lost an hundred heads during the boxer rebellion she she dd recover to the extent only of her loss auil such rate as is fixed for German life should measure the value of tli.il of other nationalities. Likewise, it would be manifestly presumptive on the part of the United States to affix the value of American life in excess of the worth of the lives of subjects of oilier countries.
