EDITORIAL NOTES.
If this weather continues some¬
body will plant corn soon.
Old Prob might go off and take a
rest on the laurels of his last cold
wave and thaw them.
If Secretary Lamar is a man to
let his services to the highest bidder,
he might have engaged them to the
Bell telephone company. The same
might be said of Attorney General
Garland.
Uncle Sammy Tilden was seventy
nine years old Saturday. The good

on asking our civi service ie oim
President impertinent questions.
A doctor in Mexico and one in
Brazil claim to have found a prevent¬

ministered by inoculation. The

Notwithstanding the great hue and
cry raised by some o the ultra dem
ocratic newspapers at the slowness of
President Cleveland in turning -re
publicans out and putting democrats made
1 S3 15,000 changes have been
, ’ten This is the of
i B months. at rate
one removal for every eight minutes
since the democrats have been in
power national-affairs which for men inexperienced
in it must be conced
ed is not slow work. If the republi
carmn 1 worried the senate cet our good pres
-- ident; just a Httle by imperii
nent questions we believe this speed
v will be greatly accelerated.
Our esteemed Chipley correspond¬
ent thinks, we have done Mr. Virgil
Harris an injustice, as he has not
.
proposed to open another bar in this
county. We understood that he was
circulating a petition for signatures
praying for license, and without giv¬
ing his name, we published commenting the facts
as we understood them,
at we saw fit. In a few days we re¬
ceived a communication postmarked
Chipley, and signed Virgil Harris, in
which he said : “I notice your last is¬
sue a little concerning me and my
business I tell you in a very few
words what you can depend upon if
you ever put anything in your paper
about me or my business I’ll stop the
Hamilton Journal or you will stop
the Chipley bar man one.” Further
on the ugly letter threatened to mar
our features and if we wanted an)
thing else we should have it. This
was a chip laid on our snouluer and
we can’t take a dare we taivS auiiost
anything else on subscription account
in the way of country produce, but a
dare never. Now if injustice has
been done Mr. Harris, he is to blame
for it, not us. Our motto is to do
all the good you can, in all the ways
you can, at whatever time you can
and in whatever manner you can, so
it was the best ot motives that
prompted us to put our correspond
ent on notice that we should resist
his efforts to mash our snoot. W e
are glad to know he does not pro
Dose to open another bar in -the
county.
THE COLD WAVE.
-
A Correspondent WhotThinks Mr. Hazen
Has THE Joke ON Us.
Mr. Journal: —A hauyeh! 4
guess your cold wave “materialized ^
on you last night We are all alive
this morning—that is, those of us
who a**e left—with ice all over the
pond, but not as thick as before by
some ; 3 1 inches, I am glad to report.
Though, when l looked out and saw
the pond glazed I looked around for
my slide. If you newspaper fellers
with nice, piles, and new
thermometers don’t quit laughing at
Old Prob, and calling him a lie
about twice a week, you are going to
have somebody froze up down here
^ ([ . vou know 01J Prob ls a
p cnev0 ] en [ 0 | ] fellow ’ie„t and only means
rs ut v0 on suffic notice
n ■ood subscriber and not
growl over his absence afterwards; he
has no special zeal in the matter, and
if the cold waves over four fifths of
‘ f he j s not s0
rue as lo th ; s U ,Ue corner .0
loose its ^ potatoes and oranges every
^ a . bm he is not going t0
be laughed at for a nincom poop by
ad you cider press fe.leis, vv.tn tubs
or pie. without giving you a w.nti oc
casionally for your impudence.
