Mo t of the subscribers said they would double if necessary, and many of those who have shown most interest in the pioject, and who would subscribe large ly, were not seen. Mr. Bailey is a good canvasser and engaged in a good work, uud we believe if he will continue he can secure the requisite amount single handed. If he does, he shall have a ban quet iu the new hotel. The “Bailey House” would sound well. Aii Important Arrest, The arrest of a suspicious character upon his general appearance, without move wait ruents or companionship, traveler, tired ing until he has robbed a a bouse, or murdered a fellow-man, is an important function of a shrewd do lective.

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.
