COUNTY » • • v X > H I j ©KAY, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1888- The village of Haverstrasv, on the Hudson, manufactures more bricks than any other place in the world. Spain celebrated the sailing of the in vincible Armada as well as England. The Spanish claim that the fleet was simply a fishing excursion. A punctilious French highway robber jtooped to apologize to his victim, and the victim noticed the fact that he was bow-legged. He gave the police this pointer aud the right man was soon in limbo. “A native author called Roe,” was Matthew Arnold’s sneering allusion to to the novelist who so soon followed the English litterateur to the grave. E. P. Roe accepted the designation and wrote an autobiographical sketch under that heading, which was completed only a few days before his death. There is in Lake County, Mich., a co operative telegraph line, which began by two farmers connecting their house* with a wire, and which has extended,un til now it has sixty -five miles of wire and ninety offices, two-thirds of which are in farmhouses and the others in stores where farmers trade. The er-Confedorate colony in New York continues to grow, At almost every social gathering may be seen one or two men who won the title of general when they wore the gray. She Southern society, started a short time ago, now has a member.-hip of hundreds, and will soon have a building of its own. The Portuguese Government has bought out the tobacco manufacturing companies of that country, so that the production of tobacco will henceforth be a Government concern. There will probably be no Cigarmakers’ Union there now, but the workers will get a pension when too old to work, as is case in the French Government -.tobacco system. \ -tK . iCpflbHe.nl sim(flicfty does not characterize the journcyings of President Carnot, of France, in the prov inces. What with a considerable ret inue, generous dinners to the digni taries of the towns which tender him hospitality, and gifts to the poor, he is said to do full justice to the annual ap propriation of $00,000 for traveling ex pense3. The mineral output of the country for 1887, according tc the statement made by the Division of Mining Statistics, is much-greater in valu3 than that of 1880, and is worth $100,000,003 more than that of 1885. This is a gratifying ex hibit, but is unfortunately coupled with the statement that there will be a de crease in the metal product this year owiug to the decline in railroad build ing. The French census reported 180 per sons who were 100 years old or over, but M. Levasseur, who has been investigating the matter, reports to the Academy of Sciences that sixty-seven of these were only “believed” to be so by their rela tives, and that there were only sixteen who e age could be proven to be over 100 years by authentic documents. He estimates that there are not over fifty centenarians in the country. Although the American clipper ships are growing lc s in numbers their repu tation as the fastest sailers on the globe is by no means declining. The famous clipper ship Henry Hyde, now at anchor off Sandy hook, has really made the voyage from San Francisco, a distance of at least eleven thousand miles, in eighty-nine days. Fine weather was met with most of the passage. It took but eighteen days to run from San Fran cisco to the equator, thirty-three days from there to Gape Horn, and thirty eight days from the Falkland Islands to Sandy Ilook. The Ilyde was built in 1884, at Bath Me., aud hails from New York, where she is owned by Benjamin Pendleton. Russian is diliijently studied in Ger many, and by a large number of people in England likewise. At the Berlin Military Academy it is obligatory, and it is spoken a good deal in military circles all over the country, There is m Ger many a constant demand for Russian speaking journalists, since all the prin cipal newspapers keepa careful eye upon Russian affairs. In the English army special inducements are held out to oTccisto learn Russian; and, according to a 8t. Petersburg jourual, many young English officers are so eager to learn the S: seovite tongue that when they happe* to be stationed in a town where no in ifrcctor is to be ha 1, they spell out the Ri)3sian Bible by the aid of a English one. <> Statements, Candid in its Conclusions, and Just in its Views. ” THE CHILDREN HAVE GROWN AWAY.
