Amorioua, Os., April 10, 1801. Loaded for bear—the man who for bears and bides bla time. It was a sweet act in our government to place sugar on the free list. lfs. I5i.ai.ne la a bigger man than Ur. Harriaon, If the latter is boas for a short term. The Times- Recobdek, of Atnericus, grows better with each Issue. It ir In deed an honor to Its city and section.— 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 and turned on tbe water— Long frozen at tbe heart, Bat now like rills Let loose In thesprlogtlme from the snowy bill*. 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. HOW IS YOUR CHILD?

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. Here in our delightful fruit-growing L d McCook—It is rumored that Rev. McK. 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. M. SPEER, J. IV. WHEATLEY, President, Vice President. W. H. C. DUDLEY, A. W. SMITH, Aeelotnnt Caahler.
