Advices from California are to the
effect that the fruit crop thia year will
probably oe considerably short, except
as to tipples, grapes and pears. Os
peaches, the indications are that there

orange crop will do, though the trees
are said to be “aetling well.”

Some of our contemporaries are art

The gossips who are still talking

bilt aay that be will, in future, spend
most of bis time abroad. They also
believe that al no distant day will the

The people of Hogansville can now

GEMRAL PRACTICE.
No section of the United States has
as much at stoke in the expulsion ot
the Spaniards and establishment of
stable government in Cuba and Porto
Rico as the South. In the first place,
by instituting modern systems of san
itation al Coban ports the yellow fe
ver will be killed iu its very seat, and
that yearly menace to the Golf and
South Atlantic coasts thus remoras**
Medical authorities agree that all that
ia pec emery to make Cuba aa healthy
M our own country ia to employ sani
tary measures suitable to the nine
teenth century Instead of lbs six
teenth. This will be of immense ban

At tbs present day every trade must
here its paper, but it is not every trade
ttet has a dally paper devoted •xctarively
to its interests. The beggars of Parle
can boast that they srs thus favored. Tbe
Parisian beggars, who, according to a
Write* in Household Words, number about
8, 000, have two dally papers.
One of them is entitled le Bon Guide
It gives to Its subscriben a complete list
of the beldams weddings and funerals to
take place on that day, ao that they may
be wa&poated ao best piaeee to pur
sue tbeir calling. For begging letter writ
em then is a list of tbe kSSmsees, arrivals
and departures of persons of known charl-
Sble dicpdrttlon. Tbe paper to mine of
infcnnattoa to its readers.
Tbe Beggars’ Journal is not so “high
class” a paper, but it to perhaps more In
teresting. It prides itself on tbe exclurive
nous of its information. It is unique In
form, being written and not printed on
the ooaroe brawny white paper used by
grocers to wrap sugar in.
i Its advertiaement columns are suggest
ive: “Wanted, a blind roan to play tbe
flute. Apply to tbe editor.” “Wanted for
afashtonabio watering place a ene armed
man; good references; security required. ”
This psper contains, like the other, no
tices of births, deaths and marriages in
high circles. It docs not boast of a very
large staff, for the editor, who is also sole
proprietor, writes out tbe single copy of
tbe paper and takes it round every morn
ing to each of bis subscribers, who have
tbe privilege of looking over this unique
journal Mr » for minutes by paying the
munificent sum of 8 cents a month.
DiSterrat Views of a Waagman
There is no lack of competitors for tbe
office of executioner when the operation
baa to ba performed In England, but in
Ireland there to a great prejudice against
undertaking it and there have been diffi
culties sometimes in tbe colonies in find
ing an operator. Marwood used to say ho
never experienced any unpopularity in
England and accounted for Calcraft being
sometimes badly received by saying that
“Mr. Calcraft never made himself agree
able.” Going to Wales on one occasion to
fulfill his office in the case of a foreigner
w bo had committed several brutal mar
dsna, he found himself quite papular and
Was received at the station when about to
deport with a sort of ovation, to which he
responded affably, saying he hoped bo
might “before long have occasion to visit
them again.”
On tbe other hand, on coming back
from Cork, where be bad been to carry
out the duties of bis profession because no
native could be found to do the job, ho
bad rather a rough experience, for on
board the steamer he overheard a conver
sation between two Irishmen, one of whom
related that be beard the hangman was on
board, to which the other replied that
could be find him he would throw him
overboard during the night. Marwood on
this thought it well to retire to his bed in
a dark corner and did not make hisap
nearanoe any more until the steamer was
wrtl in tbe dock in England.—Chambers’

“BETTER SETTLE UP

thinking of “settling down” instead just
now, and feathering their nest with every
