William Redmond has been se lected as the Psrneliite candidate for the parliamentary seat for Cork made va cant by the death of Ur. Parnell. The New York Sun continues to at tack Cleveland and the Farmers' Alii ance with the utmost impartiality. It is hard te tell which one of these two is most repugnant to the soul of Editor Dana. Seventeen men have already been "mentioned” for congress in the new Brunswick district, and there are sev eral counties to bear from yet.—Darien Timber Gazette. Among the hills signed by the govern or were these: Providing for the Issue of charters by the secretary of state and also for the Incorporation of towna. These are bills which will, it is thought, result in less legislature hereafter. Proves rob Gainer of Itoanoke insists that he has partially discovered the lan guage employod by monkeys in commu nicating with each other. lie states that he will conduct a scries of experiments ■with monkeys, dogs and cats, and prove to the world that animals have a lan guage that can be understood by human beings Steamers which arrived in New York from Europe Sunday and Monday brought $1,.>50,000 in gold. The total received from Europe to date is $17,040,- 000. At tHs rate, all the gold which went abroad during the summer will soon return, and the scare that silver was driving it out will be proven to be without foundation. PA It TOM, THE HISTORIAN. The death of James Parton, the histo rian, removes a prominent literary char acter from life. His lives of Greely, Aaron Burr, Andrew Jackson, and other prominent Americans were works of su perior merit. His most pretentious work was his Life of Voltoiso recently pub lished. His wife was the well-known “Fanny Fern,” who was no less well known in literary circles than her hus band. Ptrton was commissioned a few years ago by the Harpers to write a life of Washington, that was regardless of ex pense, to be the greatest and most accu rate and reliable bistory of the father of bis country ever written. Parton went to Virginia, and after months of careful investigation of letters and other volu minous data about Washington, he re turned to the Harpers and tbrew up his commission, explaining to these aston ished publishers that if he wrote a truthful history of Washington and the Harpers printed it, both writer and pub lishers would be mobbed by the Ameri can people. He asid that Washington'! private cor respondence showed him to be a man of such loose moral character, that the shock to popular sentiment would be too great; and that the actual truth could not be told to • people who bad been taught to raveie him as a model man in all respects. The Harpers were satisfied that Par- ten’s report was reliable; and so the great life of Washington remained un written. Mb. 8. A. Cunningham of Nashville, Term., who has been appointed general -Agent of the Jefferson Davis monument Tund, la making extraordinary efforts to raise the necessary amount to erect the monument. There ought to be no hesi tation in contributing to so worthy an object Within n year the sum needed onght to be collected, and will be If the -. people do their doty in this matter. Tilt Irish World says, in a recent editorial: “But whatever may ) told for or against him, Parnell is gone; but Ireland remalna, and her cause remains; and all true sons of Ire land will now come together as brethren, heal their mothcr’a wounds, and in tbo spirit ot union and concord push on and complete the work of ter redemption. God have mercy on Parnell! God save Ireland!" glut ltrunswtck Times says: “The Atlanta <1- Florida railroad is expected to come to Brunswick. It is claimed that arrangements have already been made for the money necessary to com plete it Recently great Improve ments have been made in Its equipments. New crossties have been put down, Bridges and treaties have been repaired and the roadbed la said to be In excel- 1 ent condition. The lndioatlans are that the Atlanta A Florida will now be op erated under more favorable auspices than ever before. The many admirers of Mrs. Mary E. Bryan will be glad to hear that she will • return to Atlanta soon and will make Georgia her home again. She will, In conjunction with Mr. C. P. Byrd, start a literary magazine. She and Mr. Byrd have purchased the Old Homestead of Savannah, which formerly enjoyed a fair measure of prosperity. Mrs. Bryan will have editorial charge of the magazine and Mr. Byrd will control the business department. They constitute a very strong team. That Mrs. Bryan will achieve a brilliant success la the belief and wish of her coantleu admirers.— Constitution. Ati organized effort 1* under way among the farmers to secure from con gress free null service in country towns. The Farmers' Alliance, Patrons of Hus bandry and other orders are oanraasteg the matter.* Letters are being written to congressmen In favor of the project, and petitions to congress for free deliv ery are being circulated In meny parte of the oountry. The farmers assert that • dally mall delivery at the door will add pwoeptibty to the money value of their farms, and will be worth still more bo- caase it wlU keep them la touch with the markets and the outride world and divest farm life of its isolation and mo notony. Farmers are writing to the ag ricultural press that this convenience would enable thoin quite gfcntnlly to take a dally paper as well as to aabacrike for the local papers'more liberally. A COTTON FACTORY. What step do our people next propose to take to promote the growth and pros perity of Americus? What about Hie cotton factory that has been discussed off and on for two years? Why should It not now be pushed through? Can anything be done that will pay a better return on the investment and turn more money loose In this community? Here are some figures that are worth considering: A pound of cotton that costs say eight to nine cents makes four yards of osnaburgs or checks that sell for eight to twelve cents per yard, or a value cre ated in manufacturing of 2:1 to 40 cents per pound. This margin goes to buy labor, and thus build up trade, pay cur rent expenses, etc., and pay a dividend on the capital. Even if the investment paid no direct dividends the merchants of Americas could afford to build a cotton factory for the increased volume of trade that the one thousand more people brought here would create. A few shares each by all the merchants of Americus would do the work, to say nothing of Investments by capitalists, for It la well known that, properly managed, cotton manufactur ing right in the field la a very profitable business. , Let’s have a cotton factory! THE ABLE ASSISTANT. In a recent number of the New York Journalist that paper takea the ground that the shear* are quite as Important at times as the quill. It says: “A good many people do not know that an editor's selections from bis con temporaries are quite often the best teat of his editorial ability, and that the funetion of the scissors la not merely to fill up vacant spaces, but to reproduce the brightest and best thought* and the moat attractive news from all the sources at the editor's command. There are times when the editor opens his ex change and finds a feast for eyes, heart, ana soul. The thoughts of hli contem porary glow with life. lie wishes his roadera to enjoy the feast, and he lov ingly takes up the scissors and clips and clips, and sighs to think that his space la inadequate to contain all the treasures so prodigally spread before him. After all the true test of a newspaper's real value Is not the amount ot original mat ter it contains, but the average quality ot all the matter appearing in ita col umns, whether original or selected,” A cable to the New York Herald from China says that the Russians have invaded Chinese territory. A frontier oft.cer at Chang reports that be re cently met* Russian expedition descend ing the Alai plateau, and that he pro tested against this Invasion of Chinese territory, but the Russians, being In greater force than the Chinese, disre garded the protest and continued their march. One division of Russians pro ceeded to Aliehar, Id the Pamir territo ry, aud another division marched toward the Great Pamir territory. The Novoe Vremya, the Russian government organ, say* that a meeting between the Kni- sians sod the British Id Pamir was inev itable, adding: “British incursions and Afghan and Chinese raids, violating the conventions forbidding them access to Pamir, now make it Imperative to deter mine the exaet frontier. Russian diplo macy would find no difficulty in estab lishing auzerian rights over the terri- toiy.” n - - f Cl A SAVINGS BANK. The following from the Dawson News Is applicable to other towns besides Dswson; and it is reproduced because its facts are such as to commend them selves to the wise men of Americus who know that the prosperity of the working classes is the prosperity of the commu nity. As two or more new banks a-e to be organized here, they might bear in mind the benefits of a savings bank feature and take the proper steps to inaugurate one. We have i o savings bank in Dawiion, but we ouKht to have one. Home one or mora of our local banks might add this feature, and do a good baldness, and prove a benefit to the people who nev«*r bave money to bank,* but who could put away a dollar a week, or more, tnd draw interest on the same. The laboring classes need something of thin kin i. An institution of this kind, run In connec tion wltb a bank in a town In Georg! •, ad vertise* for deposits, aud displays this kind ofa ( table which gives the Idea directly to those many people who might be Induced to commence saving small amounts. “Read the table below,” says the advertisement, “and ask yoarself If any man need be poor”: Save |1 a week, and It amounts, with Inter est, In 1 year to 953.

Edison, though still a young man, has already made the world and all coming time his debtors by the blessings he has conferred upon man kind. Should his wonderful genius stop its activity here and now his title to be the greatest benefactor of bis kind would be seenro. , But the Wizard of Menlo Park is ap parently juat entering upon that career of achievement which is to dazzle and benefit the world. His latest invention bids fair to revolutionize travel as much as It was revolutionized when the loco motive superseded the stage coach. He promises us an electric motor that wilt do away the noiaa and dirt of the steam engine and give us a railway speed of a hundred miles an hour—a speed which will niako the mile a minute of to day seem slow and unendurable. Not only that, but local travel in our city is to bo equally Improved—no horse cars, no cable lines, no trolley system, no storage battery device, no elevated steam engines. Let us hope that Mr. Edison's latest invention will prove as successful as he promises.—NeW York Herald. HEADQUARTERS for everything new in Dress Goods, Trimmings, Notions, Etc., Etc.

Here la the latest geography lesson from the Athens’Banner: “Why Is Georgia the Empire State? “Because she has a strong Constitu tion, thus being able to hold her Banner higher than her sister states. ‘Why Is she the most progressive state? “Because Atlanta Heralds the bright, happy Times that cornea wltb the latest Savannah News about deep water on the coast, and the Enquirer-Sun lights up the future with its inspecting lays. Americus, the Recorder of good limes, gives further evidence that this answer Is correct. “Why are her people the best in formed of nil the people who inhabit the earth? Because Augusta Chronicles The, News of the world enoh day and Heralds it to the people. “Why la she the wisest state In the union? “Because she has a Tribune of Rome to counsel her. “Get the next lesson.” Samples Dress Goods sent on application, charges prepaid on goods sent out of the city by express to the amount of $5 and upwards. Beall & Oaklev, 313 LAMAR STREET, A Pul la Delphi an, who is a student of human nature, as well as a close ob server of femiuiuity, made some pecu liar statistics while sojourning at the popular seaside resort, Atlantic City, the past summer. He found that the girls with the blackest eyes came from Rochester. The most blondes are from Cleveland. Those with the largest nos es come from Harlem. The most bow- legged girls come from New York, while Brooklyn girls have tbo most shapely arms, but many of them are knock- kneed. San Francisco turn* out the largest per centage ot fine-looking, big women, while Philadelphia contributes the most all-rouod pretty girls. Camden has an unusual number of redheaded girls, and Pittsburgh girls hare the larg est ears. The PHARMACY, Cor. Cotton Ave. and Forsyth Bt.
