The subjects embraced will be in fur¬

well as to disseminate Inhumation
of a special agricultural nature,
which will be of value to them in
tbeir everyday labor. Such material,
we are confident, will be read by our
subscribers, and they will look for¬
ward with iutecest to its issue. This
matter will be prepared once a

of the best and most widely circulat¬
ed papers throughout the State, for

tbe case of U. Z. Ison vs. Oscar Allen
et i*l. fok damage done *y burning
the woods, which resulted in a ver¬
dict for the defendant. The .next
case taken up was the City National
Bank vs. B. P. Blanton, in which a
jury was secured and which is now
pendiug.
A number of judgmeuts were also
recorded.
Judge W. C. Peeks was appointed
solicitor general pro tern, iu 1 tbe ab¬
sence of Col. M. W. Beck.
Will Mays, colored, charged with
burning Maddox’s bouse, was turned
out of jail, no indictment being

A Cosh Basis.
Tbe country is rapidly approach¬
ing a cash basis. That is oue of the
blessiugs coming with tbe ills which
beset us.- It cost something, but we
believe the worst is over. Tbis year
will mark the beginning of u more
prosperous era.—[Valdosta Times.
This is about the size of the present
situation The people have gotten
down to the liquidation point. The
country is pretty near the cash basis
and the longer it can stay there tbe
better. People are sailiDg close to
shore, but they are all the happier
and will be on a far sounder busis
than ever when tbis is done. There
promises to be from this on a sound
and healthy recuperation. Business
with the new year starts out strip¬
ped to i he waist with skiu gloves
and without an ounce of superfluous
flesh. But it has good wind aud
reach and means to stay io for the
finish. Men who are doing a legiti¬
mate business, who are not living
beyoDd their means, have nothing
to fear during the new year. And
tbe merchant who advertises, who
keeps his trade before tbe people, will
prosper and have no reason to com¬
plain when the years record is com¬
pleted.—[Sava a nab Press.

flight of their neighbors
confuses and disturbs them. Their

The Origin of the Jag.
Baltimore American.
Jag is a brief but expressive and
unusually popular word, which has
obtained general vogue ia modern
slang. The Century Dictionary de-
fines it: “As much liquor as one can
carry; as, to have a on; hence, a
drunken condition. 'his definition
is not different adequate or satisfactory. When A
jag is from liquor a load. a
man has as much as he can
carry easily, it is a jag; wheu he has
more than he can carry, it is a load,
A jag is a term drunkenness. of intoxication; a
loud is pure A jag can
be any degree from the bappy condi¬
tion of a few drinks to the danger
point, when the possessor of the jag
knows that he must walk in- a
straight line or stagger. When be
staggers his jag becomes a load.
The words are not attractive, but
tbeir universal use gives them im¬
portance. This was recognized by
Dr. Edward Eggleston, tbe eminent
historian, who is lecturing at tbe
Peabody Institute, and in his very
interesting address gave some new
information on tbe history of the
word. Io the last century most of
the inland transportation was done
by pack-horses. When he was visit¬
ing England last year he was iu a
section ot tbe country where tbe
pack horses are still used. Tbs local
name for the tranepoitation by this
method is jagging. A jug is a pack-
borbe load. So be foMI tbe same
use of tbe word io t he early history
of this country. It is still beard in
some sections, and it has come to
mean a part of a lodd. For in¬
stance, if a man half brings to a market
a quarter or a of a wagonload
it is called a jag. Tbe jagger wagon
is a wagon that carries only a pack-
horse’s load. Thus it weut on until
some inspired genius applied it to a
certain alcoholic condition, and
finally we have tbe result that a jag
is a small load, but that a real load
is equal to several jags.
