A MERRY CHRISTMAS,
expires next October.
Gov. Northen has undoubtedly
the office. As has been stated be
fore, It was through hts instrumen
tallty that tbe railroad commission
bill was pushed through tbe Legis
lature. Up to that time no effort
had been made to put a check on
and do your dreams disturb you?
Are you excitable and does your
heart beat unevenly, sometimes
hardly beating at all aud at other
times thumping I'ke an engine?
Do you worry over little things?

Railroad Commissioner Fort,
Shake!
Mayor Felder, here’s to your
seventh term! May It be as pros
perous as your other six.
South and Southwest Georgia
cau now have an opportunity to see
a real, live, railroad commissioner.
The editors are now preparing
for Christmas, and begging for any
thing like' wood, chiokens, eggs
and turkeys.
Amerlous extends thanks to the
Columbus Enquirer-Sun, Macon
Telegraph, Brunswick Times, Sa
vannah News, Cordele |Cordelean
and many other papers In South
and Southwest Georgia for favoring,
the appointment of Judge Fort as
Railroad Commissioner.
What other olty In Georgia oan
boast of a Mayor just entering bis
seventh term, with as many pub
lic improvements as Amerlcus has,
with as fine publlo schools, and as
prosperous a olty, with a debt con
siderably less than $76,000? But
that Is tbe Mayor Amerlous can
boast of in Mayor Felder.
DIRECTOR GOULD.
The prospeotlve eleotion of Jay
Gould or his representative as a dl
reotor of the Central road has not
excited the State press as much as
The Recorder supposed. .We
look for a violent onslaught, to
which the terms'*rallroad wrecker,”
“robber," "thief,” etc., would be
used very liberally. On the con
trary, the State press seem in
cllned to the opinion that It will be
avery good thing for the Central to
have Mr.Gould In Its directory, In
asmuch as be oan give that road a
great amount of business that now
goes to other roads.
It Is said that Mr. Gould proposes
to make some sweeping reductions
In the expenses of the road, and
will do away with many useless
traveling passenger agents, solici
tors, brokers, and the like, and also
discontinue the praetlce of compe
tition between the different roads
of the Terminal system.
If this polioy Is carried out It will
hurt uo one but a tew individuals
who fatten at the expense of tbe
jealousy of tbe offloers of the dif
ferent Terminal lines. It will not
inoreaso freight rates, but, on the
contrary, enable the roads to give
better service for the same rates, as
then their attention will be wholly
given to legitimate business, and
not to turning business from the
channel it would naturally seek
It Is rathsr early tu the day,
though, to make a prediction as to
the effect of Mr. Gould's polioy on
the people who use the Terminal
roads as carriers, but If bis plans as
mentioned are carried out, It will
mean Increased business and
greater revenue for his lines, and
better servlce’for the people ,at no
increase In the tales.
In order to bring the matter before
the Legislature In Its best light,
Judge Fort had thoroughly studied
the question, and when his bill was
made a law he followed Its enforce
ment with a great deal of interest;
and, outside of the commissioners
and railroad men themselves, is
probably the best posted man In
the State on railroad legislation

That "Tired Teellng.”
The newspapers are having a good
deal of fun nowadays over that
“tired feeling,” eo mnqb spoken of
in medical advertisements, in con
nection with the ill-health of fe
males. It may be a source of hil
arity to witty paragrapbers, bqt
not so to suffering women, who, by
overwork, and a disregard of the
lawa of health, have lapsed lhto a
condition bordering on Invalidism
Wbat most women need is to be re
lieved of some of the slavish, work
that Is piled on them, and a free,
bnt jndlolna nse of strengthening
