It has been suggested that in dealing
with Spain Secretary Gresham should i
also have taken into consideration the
fact that she invented the cigarette, i

is one man in
States who receives 811,0(10 for two j
hours work every other day for six
mouths. His name is Amos Ilusie,
New York’s crack baseball pitcher.
Tom Watson says he does not waul
the ollice of congressman unless lie is
fairly elected to it. Tliat being the
ease, Tolu is (loomed to the seclusion
of private life.
ft is said that Spain has spent 81 lo,
<100, IK HI in suppressing ill uirrectioiis
in Cuba. This is within a few hun¬
dred thousand of what the island is
worth without its revolutionary feat¬
ures.
If the Fourth Party will only

Third Party may things will he for

will leave out Colonel Mrs. Mary
Lease and (icnoral Weaver. Albany
Herald.
Superintendent II. M. McIntosh, of
the Georgia ehatnnqiin, has our thanks
for a season ticket to the seventh an¬
nual session of that institution, w hich
begins next Sunday. The programme
for Ibis session will lie unusually en
fertuinnig and profitable, and crowds
of people will no doubt take advan¬
tage of the reduced railroad fare to
attend.
Two ignoble citizens of Alabama.
M. IV. Howard and J. C. Manning,
went to New York recently on a mis¬
sion that is certainly a sad commentary
on their patriotism—that of defaming
the good name of their state and seek¬
ing to de|Weciate the value of its se
(MiVitivs, Alabama is too grand in peo¬
ple and great in resources to receive
any hurt from these pygmy politicians,
whose efforts have only resulted m a
sillv fiasco.
The Thoinasville advertiser an¬
nounces that McKinley's plan is to
lay the negro on the shelf and estab¬
lish a white republican party in the
South. The plan won't work, says
an exchange: the negro has the repub¬
lican party by the umbilicus and he is
not likely to let go. Lop off the negro
from the republican party and there
wouldn't be anything left but a few
bof^stfs.
Ware county is considerably stirred
»p over the attempt of a black, burly
negro man to court a white girl—the
yotffig daughter of a respectable farmer
living near Waycross. The negro said
he had as much right to marry a white
woman as did Fred Douglass, hut
when . lie . appeared at the tanner . s
house and made his intentions known,
the forthcoming of a shotgun caused
miffy tofaLe to the woods in a hurry,
At last accounts a posse of white men
and several negros were scouring the 1
woods for the negro and if he is caught
he may be dealt with summarily.
Gavernor Atkinson has decided tlmt
tJiere must be a state encampment this
year, notwithstanding the fact tluil the
last legislature pursued such a narrow
policy toward Georgia’s military. An'\l
herein the governor is right again. A
few days ago he asked lieutenant Sat
terlee to make an estimate for him as to
how the 811,000 appropriated should be
used to obtain the best results, and the
estimate has heentsubmitted. The gov¬
ernor is looking into it, but lias not
yet decided whether or not ho will
adopt or make any change in it. In
this estimate the ten thousand <k*l
hws is set aside for the encamp
■nient.
Cruml Jur> *»r. mi-k1uii‘iiin.
We. the grand jury drawn and sworn
to serve at the March term, 1895, ( lay
Superior Court, beg leave to make the
following general presentments;
\Ve have, through our

various county officers and tind thorn

and tarn* this method of congratulating

a set of officers as any ill the state.
We have examined the public huild
ings and find that our county conuuis

AA’e recommend that Dr. L. O. Shiv
ers lx 1 appointed notary public <x
ofllcio justice of the peace for the 749th
district, G. M.
We recommend that a chimney he
built to the court house at Blufftmi.
We recommend that the following
persons he placed on the pauper list:
Atfred Horton. Kinaline Morgan, Mrs.
'Tames Smith, James Alley, and if the
county commissioners think it expe
dient, that they increase the allowance
of Mrs. Alley.
We reccomniend that the county
commissioners consider the expedien¬
cy of working the county convicts on
public roads and the levying of a per
capita tax for working and maintain¬
ing the public roads of the county.
In taking leave of His Honor Judge
J. M. Griggs, we tender thanks for the
favors shown our body, as well as for
lijs able and comprehensive charge.
To. Col. II. C. Sheffield", the efficient
solicitor, we feel constrained to ex¬
press our hearty thanks for his active,
wise counsel and unremitting atten¬
dance to our body. Nor would we fail
to thatik our faithful bailiff, Mr. M,
L. Burney for his cave and prompt at¬
tention.
Wo recommend these presentments
be published in The Four Gaines
Sentinel.

iklk ok Happiness ,
That fair sweet Isle lies far away
From laud, oh, many a mile!
And waters in their golden play
Dance ’round it all the while.
No ruffled waves or wild winds roar
Disturb the quietness of that shore.
Few eyes e’er see that fair, sweet land
Where flowers always bloom;
Few feet walk o’er its shining strand
Till they are pass the tomb.
Those, only those whose lives ijre blest,
Dwell oil the Isle of Happiness.
