If you think you have a good many friends, rest satisfied with your perhaps well founded opinion, but don’t put the matter to a test by trying to borrow money from them. The present business calamities in Georgia will be turned into blessings, if they shall result in convincing the peo ple that a change of methods is a neces sity to their future welfare, Night is a great blessing to weary ones; and there is no other place on earth, at which to spend it, comparable with home. It is a very bad sign when men are averse to staying at homo after dark. Our mercantile friends will please re member that we are of a bashful disposi tion, and if we do not ask them for ad vertisements it is not because we don t want them. So spare our blushes and bring in your advertisements. When tho wrecks of this year's opera tions have been cleared away, there will probably bo grounds for entertaining tho hop j of better things. Surely, now that disaster has demonstrated the fully of present methods, the s : inpleat will sto tho necessity for a change.

We hope our ^ young people will figure in this way and : call soon upon our venerable friend, tho | Ordinary, and procure the necessary pa- pers.
