Entered at the postoffice in Roberta, Ga., as second-class matter. Dunug the English Protectorate over Egypt irrigation has been extended in almost every direction, thus increasing the agricultural productions to a won¬ derful extent. Last year Egypt raised 400,000,000 pounds of cotton, or nearly one-fourth of the entire quantity con- • Burned Great Britain. m The Chicago . Post _ , exclaims , . “As ,. the ., world moves, aud as surely as the sailing vessel replaced r tho galley, b as the swift locomotive took the place of the post horse and stage coach, as the trained lightning displaced the courier, so will J coal, cumbrous, costly and grimy, give • place to some more perfect, more etheral essence, evolved from itself, distilled from its liquid essence, cr it may be to that kindred invisible agent that springs forth spontaneous and perfect at the j touch of the drill.” r Pasteur, the French scientist, has an eye of wonderful power. A visitor to his “menagerie,” in Paris, where.be has gathered various kinds of animals foi experimental use, saw the chemist quell | with a glance a fierce Spanish mastiff which for his ferocity had been muzzled and chained, Pasteur had the brute brought before him, and looking the an¬ imal straight in the eye fearlessly took off his muzzle and removed his chain. The . dog cowered at the glance, then fawned upon Pasteur, licked his hand | and finally lay submissively before him. Among the numerous petty principal¬ ities of Germany is the Grand Duchy of Saxe-Coburg Gotha. The whole popu¬ lation is less than 200,000, and its very existence would be scarcely known, but for the eccentricities of the Grand Duke who takes paius to let his hostility to the reigning house of Germany be known on all occasions. He, however, has no children, and his heir apparent is the Duke of Edinburgh, whose wife is sister of the Czar of Russia, and at heart an intense Russian, especially in her dis¬ like of everything German. The possi¬ ble complications are interesting as illustrating the influence of personal prejudices in the politics of Europe. M. M. Cowley, a pioneer in the North¬ west, who for many years dealt in furs with the Calispel, Spokane, Cceur d’Al¬ ene, and Columbia River Indians, and is one of the best informed men on all matters pertaining to the tribes in the Northwest, says that the Indians are dying off rapidly. “Take the Cceui d’Alenes, for instance,” he says. “] was among them for a long time. They have a magnificent reservation and fine farms and good houses, but the houses are killing them. They can’t stand roofs. When I was located on the Spo- kane River, there were immense bands of the Cceur d’Alene, Calispel, Spokane, and Columbia River Indians about there. They were engaged steadily in hunting and trapping all kinds of wild animals. I bought black and silver gray fox skins of them at $1.50 and $2 apiece, 500 martins a year at $10 each,fisher, grizzly, black bear, beaver, and other kinds ol skins without number. Then the whites had not encroached on them, and they were robust and healthy. It is a mis¬ take to try and civilize them. They must be wild or they are nothing. II we keep on civilizing them, we shall have no Indians. Apparently this is something the Government will not un¬ derstand. ” WALT WHITMAN BURIED. Last Sad Rites Over tlie Remains of the Dead Poet.

This March 26ih, 1892. M H. McElmurry, Chair’n. J. D. Pierce, F. H. Wright, Committee. Crawford Superior Court was in session only three days, and the civil docket is nearer clear than it lias been for years. Is this an omen of prosperity or of adversity, or are the people becoming more fraternal and peaceful? The time is coming it seems “when the wolf can lie down with the lamb,” and when “if a brother is sued for his cloak he will deliver up his coat also.” The cause of litigation is said to be mainly due to the obstinacy and ig¬ norance of the people. If this be true we are to be congratulated for the short session of our court. If court dockets are conspicous for the absense of cases it does not al¬ ways follow that the citizens are more law abiding, and iri our opin¬ ion it is not indicative of prosperi¬ ty. If you make a horse fat he is more likely to kick, and if you make a man prosperous lie is more independent litigious. Again when people are prosperous there is a greater variety of industries and more business transac- tions, all of which are fruitful for litigators. There was but a small amount of criminal business dispos¬ ed of at the last term. There were but few cases on the docket. It is to be hoped that in the near future we will be more prosperous and at the same time have and entertain more brotherly love and kinder feelings toward oneanother, thereby making legal proceedings altogether unnec- essary; and then our terms of court will be even shorter than was our last. And by so doing we lessen to a great extent the heavy tax that is imposed upon us to pay' the expense of the court. Let us strive to be more prosperous and at the same time more law abiding citizens.
