The Midland Uonstrnclion Company.
The annual meetiug of the Geor¬
gia Midland Construction company
was held in Columbus at 11 o’clock
Wednesday morning. About seven
eighths of the entire stock (about
$250,000) was represented in peison
or by proxy. The president submit
ted his annual report, showing the
completion of the first division of the
Georgia Midland and Gulf railroad,
and its forma! acceptance by that
company of the work done, which
has been complimented by both the
railroad company, and the general
public, as being conscientiously and
perfectly pe. formed.
The old board of directors was re
elected without opposition, and the
organization was perfected by re-
election of the officers whose terms
expired with the past fisical year:
G. Gunby Jordan, president; James
E. Granmss, vice-president; M. E.
Gray, treasurer.
“I Don’t Want Relief, But Cure,”
is the exclamation of thousands suffering
from catarrh. To all such we say: Ca
tarrh can be cured by Dr Sages’s Ca
tarrn Remedy. It has been done in
thousands of cases; why not in yours?
Your danger is in delay. Enclose a
stamp to World’s Dispensary Medical
Association, Buffalo, N. Y , for pamphlet
on this disease.
Weaning of the Word “Kongo.”
It has been generally accepted that th«
translation of tho name '‘Kongo’’ is
“the country of leopards,” the root ko
meaning “the country,” and ngo ‘‘leop
ard.” J. Janko, in Petermann’s Mittei-
lungen, shows that this translation is not
satisfactory, as, according to the rules of
the Bantu language, these two words
cannot be combined into the word
“Kongo. ” He discusses the various forms
of this word as found among the tribes of
the Lower Kongo—the Bakongo, who
live on the river, from its mouth to Stan¬
ley Pool; the Bateke, who occupy the
regions between the Kuango and Kongo,
and the Kongo and Alima; the Baburna,
northwest of the last tribe; and the Bay-
anzi, between Leopold lake and the
Kongo. The Bakongo name of the river
is “Kongo,” that used by the Bateke iff
“Songo, ” and the Bayanzi say “Rongo.”
All these names are dialectic variations
of the same word, the k of one dialect
becoming r and s in the others. The
meaning of the word in the Bayanzi dia¬
lect is “spear,” and, accordingly, Janko
explains the name of Bakongo as ‘ ‘the
man with the spear;” the name of the
river, as “fast as a spear.” If this trans¬
lation should lie correct, it seems more
probable that the name of the river was
derived from that of the triiie. Janko
remarks incidentally that the root ku
infers a motion, and that it is contained
in the names i>f numerous rivers, such as
Kuilu, Kuncne, Kuango, Kuanza, which
therefore must not be spelled Kuilu,
Kwango, etc. It seems probable that the
same root may be contained in the word
“Kongo,” and that the meaning “spear,”
which is, according to Janko, confined to
tho Bayanzi, is also derived from this
root.—Science.
Wlia: la a Professional?
I was singing at an afternoon party,
and I was the only “professional” remarked there.
A little boy played the violin. I
to my hostess that the boy showed
signs of great promise. “Is he a pro¬
fessional?” I asked. “OhI no,” said my
hostess; ‘ lie’s the son of a gentleman!”
The dear lady meant no offense, she only
meant that the father was a man of
means; but that sho should have put it
in the way she did and made the remark
to tho only professional in the room was,
perhaps, unfortunate. Nervousness some¬
times causes people to blurt out most in¬
convenient truths. I arrived once at a
house to sing at an “At Home.” My
host was a very nervous, shy man. I
remarked “You have two grand pianos
in your drawing rooms, I see. ” Oh!—
ye—yes!” said my host. “We
hired the one that's open for this after¬
noon My wife said, ‘We can’t let Cor¬
Grain play on our best piano. ’ Ha!
ner
ha! ha!” I laughed a hollow "ha! ha!
ha!” and went meekly to my hired com¬
panion for tho afternoon. Sometimes
ladies sidle up and say in an undertone:
“Be merciful. Mr. Grain, our piano is a
new one.” "Oh! pray don't apologize,”
I reply, "it'll do well enough for my
work.'—Murray's Magazine.
