Cruelty to animals poss.bly does not include cruelty to chickens, bat, all the same, common feelings of humanity should protest against the custom of packing the helpless birds into coops for shipment so that the weaker ones are literally squeezed and tramped to death.

This lice would run through a rich farming section, and would develop some of the finest water power in the country.” The city assessors have completed then- work and report $826,093.00 of real estate in the city. To this will be added the land and dwelling at the ice factory, the machinery and fac ory aloae being exempted, though the assessors had understood otherwise, making tie total $827,343. List year the amount was $823,120,00, the increase this yerr being, therefore, $4,223. The increase is not large, but it is something.

NEW DEPOTS, When Does Griffin’s Turn Come for Tnion Car shed I We are informed that plans have been drawn and accepted for pretty suburban cottage depots on the Cen¬ tral railroad at Guyton, East Point and Hapevillc. The buildings are to be handsome and modern structures, modeled after the style that has ob¬ tained on Northern roads, and it is the intention of the Central that flower gardens will be cultivated in the depot inclosnres. “If the agent don’t raise flowers, we will raise the agent,” Major Belknap remarked. The Guyton depot will be a pretty building, with two waiting rooms, agent’s rooms, freight room, and a spacious veranda, with signal tower, the roof to be of artistically out shingles, and the entire structure will be finished in the most modern style and handsomely painted in harmony with its surroundings. A very pretty design for shelter sta tions for flag stations has been adopt ed and will be put up wherever their need is roeegnized. Nothing’ however, is said about a new station house, or car shed, for Griffin. 'With more trains coming and going from hero than at almost any other point on the line of the Central, Griffin has the poorest passen ger depot on the road. Both the Central and Ga. Midland officials have expressed a willingness to unite in building a union depot here, bnt ;hey don’t do it. When is Griffin to have its much needed ear shed? ----------- Notes From Sunny Side.

This i» the day when the “hired man” who is engaged to work on a farm for on which such a relic of a bygone this age as the hired man is to be found year. What an Institution ho used to be In the days when wo were young! A. thorough¬ bred Yankee; not a drop of imported and blood in his veins; strong and lithe, active and tireless—intelligent, fairly well educated, skilled in bis business, and as a rule industrious beyond the belief of this ten hour generation. From the time he drove liis ax into the woodpile in the door yard on the 1st of April until the close of the season, after harvesting, he expected to work, and he did work, not from sun to sun, but from. dawn to darkness, and then did the milking and fed the pigs afterward. His day was fourteen, fifteen, even sixteen hours long, and it never occurred to him that it should be shorter. He was no specialist Ho could do anything. He was smart with a scythe, handy with a hoe, cute with a cradle, and experienced with an ax. He knew bow much grain and grass seed were re¬ quired to the acre, when grass was fit to cut, and when it was hayed enough to “go fn,” and he did not need to be told when to drop turnip seed in the com field or how to put com in the shock. He could build wall, make cider, shingle the barn, mako a hayrack or doctor a sick bog. It was safe’ to leave him to work alone. And ho got for his services $10, 12, possibly |13 a month for eight, months, and saved three-fourths of it. Then, when he had worked eight or ten seasons and accumulated a few hundred dollars, he probably married the “hired girl,” who had been at work for a dollar a week and saved balf of that, bought a farm, got out of debt little by little, edu¬ cated his children and sent them to the city to preach or practice law, or work in the store or shop, while he stayed on the old homestead.—Manchester Mirror. tuU WEIGHT Its superior excellence proven in millions of homes for more than a quarter of a cen tury.
