Sam Julios preached in Chattanooga tho day the Georgia editors were in that city; but he did not take a shot at tho editors. This may be because be bus- some discretion, or because the Georgia editors aro very good,—Augusta News. Mr. .Prtri Ml, of Porr'en county, M doubtless the youngest sheriff ir the state. When elected lie had to wait three months to become of age before Le could bo sworn into office, lie is now confronted with tho dif ficult problem of Jako Young, and liow to arrest him. Prof. H.

Editing a newspaper is same-thing like building a railroad with a pencil, it is easy enough to figure around and see how it should be done—but doing it, is where the rub comes in.—Jackson Hews. Some of our friends called ir. ye editor’s sonctum while we were out, and left us a quart of the rood ele gant strawbemss we ever set eyes on. Later.—If the idiotic cuss who left the above mentioned berries will call again he can have them. A person who has no more sense than to heave strawberries into an Editor’s half empty paste pot, should not be allowed at large. We did not notice this fatal mistake until we be gan to partake of the fruit.—Ex, The Macon reporter for the Constituition says; “Colonel John _, . , , . .. . road, lias thrown new life into the corporation, and is getting matters into tip top shape Don’t b ® surprised at nny time lo bear of well known railroader taking a and Macoa are rapidlv looming up 1U the future much to tho delight of the people of Macon.” jr rotm PArx Acu:cn Or you are iilLworn out, rc<i ‘.v u>r uotains 'ait „ JiKo-* 3 'lv ' iie>:r r.iITT *•>u«;• cure you a.- '• by ali u.u..la MONTICELLO ITEMS, We are informed that there was a severe hail storm in Hillsboro last Tuesday. The big excursion to Macon of the Jasper County Sunday School Asso ciation will come off July tho 12th. The Dramatics are rehearsing for an entertainment and Monticello may expect something grand in the near future. Mr. Capers Goodman, of this County, a student of Mercer Uni versity, died a few days ago of brain fever. He wai a promising young man and his death has ca-t a gloom over the County, Tho new’ Masonic building will bo dedicated tho 24th of this month. It is expected that an able orator will be present oil tho occasion and the program promises to be an interesting one. Mrs Dessau, of Macon, is spend ing sometime at the Thornton Hotel. I3v advice of physicians she left the City for the benefit of a sick child and we trust that Monti cello’s pure air may prove benefi cial. Hon. Ben Terrell, of Texas, de livered quite an interesting address, to a largo audience, at the Court House yesterday morning at eleven o’clock, on subjects of vital impor tance to the farmers. Owing to the lateness of the hour we were uuabis to give any of the details. Tho Monticello Juvenile Literary Society hold (heir regular meeting, last Friday Evening at Capt. L.

It contains “Cleopatra,” by IT. Rider [laggard, and “Bentley’s Bride,” by Wiegand, both of which are fascina ting serials. “Two Women of Shakespeare,” by Mamie Neylund, and “The History of the Common People of England,” by Julia A. Fii 3 ob, are papers that would grace any magazine in Europe or America. ••Anna Karenina,’’ a criticism on Tolstoi’s novel by Percival S. Menken, and “Cutifuchiqui’s Treasures," by Meta Telfair Me Laws, are contributions that reflect credit on these gifted writers. Palmers exquisite ode to “Light,” “The World from the Sidewalk,” and “The Hermitage” furnish the lovers of poetry with choice thoughts. A serial, “Aftermathby a brilliant young Georgia lady, concludes the literary portion of the magazine. The Old Homestead also contains editorials, farm notes, scientific ar ticles, choice miscellaneous matter, puzzle department, and several pages of select vocal and instrumental music. It is the only magazine ol a literary character in the south and one of tho handsomest publications j in the country.

The following clipped from tho Eatonton Messenger is very ap propriate just at this time, and perhaps will afford "food for reflec tion" for our good citizens.* EDUCATION ON A BIG BOOM. The educational wave is sweeping over the county, and tho people everywhere, ripe for tho move, are fast falling into line, and great things may be looked for in the fu ture. Let the Board of Education put on their best thinking caps and get, down to their knitting at once about this matter; let there be devi sing and planning and begin to draw tilings to a focus, for the people are almost to a man ready and willing to co-operate with them in combining m supplementing the public fund and putting into practical operation the best thing almost that has ever been done lor the children of the county. I ask below a few practical ques tions lor each reader of the Mes senger to ask him or herself and to ponder over. “Do you know a child lay 3 th foundation fur all future success be tween the ages of 6 and lb?” “Do you know the child is not responsible for this neglect of duty on your part?” “Do you- know that he and not you pays the terrible price for what lie can not help?” “Do your know your neglect will tell for years lo come on the men or women who are to take jour places in the busy world of the fli ture?” Sfelf ■■no you Know in at a little sacrificc and spirit of co-operation will remove the trouble?” “Men and women of Putnam, let us, laying aside selfishness in all its together with ’ this aspects, come spirit of co-operation and remove forever this evil which threatens to destroy that which is best among us!" Ex P ED. “The Land of tho Midnight Sun” must indeed be an interesting por tion of the earth’s surface to visit it we may judge irom the extremely interesting and beautifully illus trated article about that region that appears m Demorest’s Monthly Magazine for July; and that the inodes of travel in that far-olf county are ages behind the times is clearly shown by turning to another article m the same number of ibis valuable Family Magazine. In a most charming manner we are told of the “Comforts of Modern Railway Travel” in our country, and the il lustrations give us a comprehensive idea of the luxury one may find m one of our palaces on wheels, from the kitchen to the boudoir. “Birds In Our Homes.” by Olive Thorne Miller, also handsomely illustrated, will please all lovers of onr feathered friends. “Aids to Beauty,” a scries of articles commenced in this number, will certainly be of great benefit to those who wish to enhance their personal charms. The stories m the July number are particularly attractive and sum mery, and the beautiful “Rose” frontispiece is a study in colors well worthy of framing. Published by W.
