Something t# Remember.
Never must the south forget that
Mark Twain, a New England man,
in a speech to a NewJjEngland au
dience, during the last president
ial campaign, said that if “the pro
tective tariff laws were repealed,
and there was a tariff for revenue
only, the south would grow so rich
she would not know what to do
with her money—she would in a
years he able to buy and sell the
north, because If the tariff was re
pealed, the south would no longer
wound buy of old England at far
cheaper rates and the price of her
cotton would be the same.’’. The
statement ought to rouse every
matt, woman and child in the south
to a sense of the iniquity of the
near at hand when every county voter in his own county, but wasn’t

own connecting with one. Buena made ’em believe it, and the last

It’s a sign that the feller ain't much

been badly raised. Of course there
arc exceptions, but somehow I nev
er bad much respect for a runaway
marriage, and if 1 was a preacher
1 wouldn’t officiate at one of ’em.
It all comes of too mucli romance
and signifies that somebody is to

There nre now hut a few, very few,

From such representative rural

Peoria, Bloomington, etc., come
tbc annual trade reviews, showing
how fast these and similar towns
nre growing in wealth and popula

houses is being gradually supplied.
Letuis see: For an average dwell

tor glass, $40; locks, hinges, sash,

Tlic chicken main between Geor
gia and North Carolina, fought at
Hamburg, opposite Augusta, was
won by the Georgia side. The Au
gusta Newn says that after many
gaffs were drenched in gore, when
the pits were lined with the dead
cocks of two Stales and the tail
leathers of many proud birds of
war were drooping in tlie dust, the
battle closed, with u score of four-
teen victories for Georgia against
ten Tor North Carolina, nnd the
Georgia slmwl-neck crowed throe
times over tlic dead cock of the
Old North State.
Brunt wick was thrown into con
sternation about 7:30 o’clock Fri
day evening by the cry of “fire.”
It wns quickly ascertained that the
alarm originated at or about the
jail, and, upon opening the doors,
a blaze was founiUn a room occu
pied by two negro women. The
flames had made no headway, and
were easily smothered with a blan
ket. The kerosene lamp used by
I the women had exploded, igniting
[ the oil, wiiieh ran over the floor,
hut, fortunately, did not come in
contact with their bed or clothing.
The revenue office in Atlanta re
ceived information on Friday of
the seizure by Deputy Collector
John A. Stuart, in Union county,
of one copper still cap and worm,
together with 800 gallons of beer
anil forty gallons of low wines.
Deputy Marshal Taylor Cobb ar>'
rested Jefferson B. Dyer, tlie pro
prietor of tlie still. They also
seized the distillery of James
Lwain, in Union county, and des
troyed four hundred gallons of
beer.
^•’ogg lias a neat way of tnrning
a compliment now and then. See- ,
ing the elderly Miss Pangley in

avoid her, but did not succeed.
When they met, said Miss Pang-
Icy: “Oh, you naughty man!
You wanted to cut me!” Replied
Fogg, blandly: “I should be cut
ting a pretty figure, wouldn’t I?”
Miss Pangley tells her friend, Miss
