THE TIMES-RECORDER.f "'ZEZZZZZ* I*..ny *u..t 'V «•••“ ly* tor Henry J, Moore) of the Macon Even lag Sewn, seme rarl-ripo product of juvenile journallam electrified the Eng lish speaking people by asserting boldly and conlidantly that John Howard Payne was the author of that poetical gem entitled “The Last Rose of Sum mer.” Since this occurrence tbe editor of the Athena Banner has referred to tbe mis take not over nine hundred and ninety- nine thousand times, thereby costing tbe Banner some six thousand dollars paid for setting up the allusions Editor Moore explained very satisfac torily bit entire innocence, clearing bis skirts of blame, and nothing more would have been beard from it but for the un fortunate and costly vein of humor run ning through the editorial composition of the Banner editor, whose sense of tbe ridiculous is really little short of the miraculous, it is a parallel case to the man who laughed himself to death watching a horse drink water. It was so nproarously funny! Unless some measures are adopted to arrest tills facetiousuesa serious conse quences may result to tbe editorial “we" and grave financial disaster may “follow fast and follow faster” in tbe wake of the droll editor of the Banner. Editor Moore doubtlessly has long since repented in sackcloth and ashes the slip mode by tbe self-sufficient and verdant member of bis staff, since it promises to wreck the finances of tbe Banner and cause its editor to literally “laugh himself out of this world,” and it requires even row but a feeblo flight of the imagination to hear his silvery laughter echoing and re-echoing across tiie Stygian tides. Editor Stovall's pen will now grace and gild Xmas tide. The sparkling effervescence of champagne is not to be mentioned now with the qualities of bis style mellowed in tbe soft, tropical air Df Savannah. The Macon Evening Xewa explodes -an improbable story about Colquitt's re Mrement from the aenstorahlp and -Crisp's elevation to it. That Crisp will eventually be senator ia a foregone and tindenied conclusion. M The holiday Issue of the Atlanta Jourual was a crowning event in news paper push and enterprise. Its special -stories were an exceptionally fine fea ture, and the whole issue was full of choice and varied reading. Students of natural philosophy might reflect on the curious phenomenon that whenever Jay Gonld crawls into his hole and pulls the hide in after him, there a vacuum created—and it Is always in somebody else's bank account. One day Brice and Thomas have de voured Inman, the East Tennessee has swallowed the Terminal; and the next, Inman Is still on top and everything la serene. Meantime, what the public wants to know is what does the talented but retiring Jay Gould think of all this business? It is said that Senator Plumb ate him self todeath, and that too at a dinner given by Billy Mahone. Now if he had uniy eaten little Billy and then climbed the golden stair, there would be sueb a silver lining to the cloud of grief that hangs over tbe catafalque of the all-tie* vouring Kansan IJ The slate Is fixed (by tbe slate makers of course) for Col. Jim Blount, after twenty years’ service as Congressman, to become a "minister - plenipotentiary' (whatever that may mean) under the next Democratic president. This would bo ail very nice, If there was as much certainty about the Democratic president as this slate seems to indicate. Eihtou Howell of the Constitution was a prominent factor in och'eving tbe victory for Crisp |n the late speakership contest. Editor Howell'ls much more of a “Warwick” in polities than many iro agios, and should his friends do as much for him as he has done for them, there would be very few plums on the bush lie wouldn't get it he wanted tberti. Thirteen months ago, just aftor the great Democratic tidal wave swept over the laod and mado everybody so ha *py, Amerlcua had a great truly, with five- works, orations, etc., and among tbe transparencies tlieu exhibited was one showing Speaker Crisp kuoeblng Tom Heed out with the gavel, when their po sitions became reversed. At the same big rally Judge Crisp was introduced by his enthusiastic frfendi as the “prospec tive Speaker of tbe 52od Congress,” and he was cheered to the echo. All of wbieh goes to show that aa prophets the people of Amerioos were a gigantic suc cess. In foot, nobody here ever bad the slightest doubt of Crlap’s success from that time to December 7th, 1801. SUMTER COUNTY BEADY. Governor Northern is preparing an ad dresa to the people 6f tbe atate, wbiob be will give out for publication In a few days. y Tbe address is for tbe purpose of stim ulating interest In the movement to raise a sufficient sum. of money for an exhibit of Georgia’s resource* at tbe world's fair. He was appointed to this dnty by the executive committee appointed by tbe editors’ convention, at Ite meeting in Macon last Wednesday-! He is thoroughly enthusiastic over tbe matter, and believes tbe necessary amount will be raised oasily. “Tbe movement,” said he, in talking of the matter yesterday, “is thoroughly organized, and every Georgia editor is enlisted. I find that the people are olive to the necessity of snob an exhibit wherever I go. The editors are writing editorials on it, and when tbe organised press of Georgia cannot do a thing, oth ers stand a poor show 'of success.” He is at work on the address now, and will bavatt ready in a few days, Sumter county has one man who is a good fair or exposition by himself, J. F. Boas, whose exhibits at our several ' Georgia fairs have attracted so much at tention and won him so many premi ums. And if every editor in Georgia will “trot out" such a man as the ThiEs-BxooBDEB does in tbe person of - J. F. Boss, Georgia will not occupy a hack seat at the World's Fair by any For pain in the stomach, ’colie and cholera morbus there is nothing better than Chamberlain’s Colic,^Cholera and Dlarthma Remedy.
