Cordelean.
The Times claims that Brunswicjc will
be able to supply the state w'th fruits
and vegetables, as the freeze did not
reach that section.
Tub grip Is said to just now be attack
ing the women In Northern cities. It's
a rather late Item of news to say that
woman has the grip.
: Editor Charles Henry Joses, the
cranky editor of the St. Louis Bepubltc,
, likes to keep himself before the people,
and his fight upon Judge Crisp is not
thu first fool thing ho has overdone.
Senator Edmunds, of Vermont,
handed In his resignation to take effect
the first of November next The coun
try would be better off If be had come
' to that conclusion twenty years ago,
section you hear some who mutter In
gloomy tones, longing for “those good
old days when the fruit crop was never
Injured.” They tell you that we will
nover have another good fruit year, that
It will be ooldor every year, and to sup
port their theory spout quotations from
some learned authority. There are not
many like this in our section, but there
are some, and it is time for them to be
covered up under the moss which luxu
riantly entwines about their backs.
The trouble is with them and not the
climate.
By a freak of nature our fruit crop
was damaged, and by a treak of nature
those individuals must have come into
the world, who declare that this indus
try is a thing of the past for our state.
Only twice in over forty years lias such
a calamity happened to us, and Georgia
and this particular section will continue
to rapidly take the lead in this industry
so well adapted to our soil and climate.
THE TIMES-RECORDER.
The consolidated Timer-Recorder,
of Americus, is welcomed into the news
paper Held. The new paper combines
the strength of both iss predecessors,
and will bo a greater power than ever
in the upbuilding of Ainericus. Succoss
to it.—Atlanta Journal.
Ah! here It in! The consolidated
Tihes-Kecordeh, published In the grow
ing town of Americus, smiles familiarly
at us. Both able journals aro recogniz
able in the one. “Many waters canuot
quench love," nor their scarcity squash
the editor.—Augusta Chronicle.
It takes Zola nine months to write a
novel. He handles a penas a laborer
might a spade, and is a slow and faith-
ful toiler. The expression on his face
when he is doing literary work is one of
torment.
The war with Italy scorns to havo
blown over without a shot, and the Sialia
it now operating around tho homo base.
Humbert would bo glad to liavo a few
citizens of New Orleans to extinguish
the murderers' society for him.
Tre McKeo trial at Rome developed a
sensation which Judge Maddox felt call
ed upon to squelch, and he did It in his
most effeotlve style. The big brothers
of Mrs. Dettz will hardly tackle tbe
court, and Col. Fry will live to speak
again.
Ladies will continue to wear stockings on
their linudsaad arms this season Imtendof
. kIovch. -Brunswick Times.
Brother Whitmire seams well informed
ab >nt ladies’ wearing apparel for an un
married man.. Possibly be can inform
us if the aboye works both ways.
Tre reduction in tho prlco of sugar
since tho McKinley law went into clTcct
is a convincing proof to tlio consumers
throughout the country that the tariff
fa a heavy burden upon tho masses of
our people, and will have its effect in
the next presidential campaign. The
whole country will he dcmocratloon the
sugar question.
A number of our boys got stuck on the Al
bany girl-. Thoy couldn't help It-Thornas-
vllloTl tios-Enterprlse. Evidently, llie Al
bany girts were covered with raolnsara.—
Trlbunc-of Rome.
Does Editor Branham mean that they
•were covered with moro sweetness than
when ho last' saw them, or that they
wero hidden from viow by other lasses'.’
Surely, he meant neither.
k split In the Democratic party In
□Spilcago, has probably given the control)
of that city to the Republicans, as the
returns show that Washburn has about
fttwo thousand plurality. Thla defeat is
chargeable to Carter Harrison whose
rule or ruin polioy caused the split. But
Mr. Harrison receives bis own downfall
with the defeat of bis party, and bis po
litical career Is ended In gloom.
VIR
TUE statement that no Republican of
llco holders resign and few die, must
now rcccivo a mollification. Senator
Edmunds, for purely personal reasons,
has sent In Ills resignation ns Senator
• from Vermont after twenty-live years
sorvice. Edmuns, while a partizan,
was a man of ability, and lie will doubt
less bo replaced with some narrow
minded person who will do tho stato less
credit titan Edmunds would havo tlone.
About the time that high water was
playing around tho edges of Augusta a
sensational report was printed that the
flood had invaded the Chronicle press
room and caused the suspension of this
paper. The Chronicle, of course, was
not touched by the overflow, but in an
other sectiou of Georgia “high water”
caused the suspension of two bright and
rigorous papers. The commissioner of
water rents in Ainericus, it seems, put
up his figures to a point that “high
water,” which was tho motor of tho
Americus Times and Recorder presses,
literally caused the suspension of those
journals. For two weeks or more these
presses have been silent, and Americus,
which for more than a year has been en
joying “two papers, both daily," has
been dependent upon the Atlanta Con-
stituti -n and the Smithrllle News.
This was a calamity. The papers were
missed in Americus and missed at many
places in Georgia. We missed them
here, and yesterday morning, when The
Tiuks-Recoiidkii appeared in codboII
dated form, like an ark ovor the high
water and big rente, the applause could
be beard In many sanctums. Slnoe tbe
temporary suspension the proprietors
have gotten together and pooled their
issues. Thecommlssfonbasoomedown

Long frozen at tbe heart,
Bat now like rills
Let loose In thesprlogtlme from the snowy

The late hypnotised, now hyphenated,
papers are floating in fine form. That
they will be better than aver goea with
out saying. They will keep their heads
above water and rise superior even to
the “cruel rent" made by tbe late Inex
orable commissioner.—Augusta Chron
icle.

OUR CLIMATE.
Is tho climate of tbe United States
changing? -
This has become an almost stereotyped
query, and every time the weather Is
unusually cold Bomo crank comes to the
front with a long, supposed-to-be scien
tific paper, in which he indisputably
proves that in the year 4,000,000 It will
be too cold for vegetation in any part of
the United States, and all mankind will
be living in the vicinity of tho Capo of
Good Hope. This is as regular a
qtienee of an unusual freeze as night Is of
day, and the subject, no doubt discussed
by Adam and Eve wheu thoy first saw
frost, seems never to grow threadbare.
The re-ent cold snap brings out anew
declarations that the sun’s heat is de
creasing and this unvsual freeze is hut
natuial.
And yet the records show no winter as
oold as that of 1780, when Chesapeake
bay was frosen solid, and w'hen Wash
ington's troops crossed an arm of New
York bay on tho ice.

F. McCook will assume editorial con
trol of the Brunswick Times, Sam E,
Whitmire retiring.
Dk Gbapfenuied—Tho complimentary
cotillion tendered Mrs. Mary Lou de
Graflenried, of Atlahta, by Mr. and
J. M. Stone, was a select and elegant
affair. Tho ladies wore beautiful cos
tumes, and the gentlemen were in
faultless full dress.—Chattanooga
Nows.
Grimej—A grand dinner party was given
Friday evening at the Rankin House, j
by tho members of tho bar of Colum
bus, to Hon. T. W. Grimes, as compli-
meat and appreciation of his valuable ;
work in Congress. The menus wore
printed on.parchment, and the dishes
arranged with appropriate legal terms.
It was handsome and unique, and was
surmounted with the words: ‘-Finis
Coronat Opus," and only members of
tbe bar were present, no outsiders
being invited.
Yancey—A short time ago, Mr. G. H.
Yancey wat promoted to Lieutenant-
Colonel of the Ninth Goorgia battal
ion. Yesterday afternoon ho was
elected president of the Northeastern
Railroad company, which position he
will fill to tho best Interest of the rail
road and honor to himself.
Davis—Martin Davis, the foreman for
yeare.of tbe “First Bale” plantation
of the late Primus Jones, is still farm
ing on that plaee, and is cultivating
the famous swamp field, from which
the first bale has been repeatedly
gathered. He has just finished ebop-
ping out'sixty-five acres of cotton,
which was planted the first of Febru
ary, and during the present cold wave
is preserving It from frosts by the
smoke of log heaps and buruihg
stumps in the fields. He says be will
send the first bale of the crop of ieui
to the market by the Sth of July.
