THE GEORGIA MEMBERS.
The Washington correspondent
of the Atlanta Constitution gives
the following interesting gossip
shout the Georgia members of Con
gress, from whioh it will be seen
that Judge Crisp bad rare good
luck in drawing bis seat:
Mr. Turner and Judge Crisp, of
Georgia, have two ot the very best
seats in the bouse. Judge Crisp
chose the first scat next to the aisle
•n the front row of the Democratic
Mde. Richelieu Robinson bos oc-
a ied it lor two years and from it
vered bis famous assaults on the
British lion. He must twist bis
tail by the tip henceforth, for the
fortune of the drawing threw him
away on the outer circle. Tbo seat
Held by Judge Crisp was that al
ways accorded to Mr. Stephens,

A GOOD SUGHESTIOX.
The Griffin News makes a good
aoggestton- to Georgia railroads,
whieh wo hope will rcoelve more
attention than has been awarded to
similar ones mado by tbo Reoobdku:
The Western and Atlantia rail
road officials have shown them-
■elves to he earnest and helping
friends to the people of Georgia,
* have shown that the “State
road” is indeed an ally of the8tate,
- - hie' '
by the manner in which they have
treated the produce and- truck
question. The accommodations that
they oiicred in tho way of transpor-
>rh
taiion and the uastorly manner in
which they have spread Informa
tion in regard to culture and mar
kets, shows an enterprise and lib
erality and broad- spirit tbat is un
common to other roads in this sec
tion.
Now that tbo season for travel to
the South is at Ua height, why
could not tLis road do something
else, equally important, for the
development of the country in
whose prosperity it has shown such
interest f Why could it not organ
ise an excursion, or a series of ex
cursions, to start from some cen
tral point in the North—say Chica
go or Toledor-and end at some
point in this State or Florida, allow
ing a stopover at any place along
the road? This is the way thu
boundless West has been settled,
sad aticb excursions have always
been well patrenixed, and we be
lieve that an opportunity to view
the South in the same manner would
be eagerly jumped at. Can not the
State road and its allies make a
move in the matter ?
stationed his rolling chair directly
in front oi it. Mr. Turner is next
to Judge Crisp on the same row.
The only Georgia member not rea
sonably well seated will be Colo
nel Ratnainnd whose seat was
■brawn lor him in his absence. It
chanced to oomo so late that he
was compelled to go with the thirty
or forty democrats who ait ou tho
left, or republican side of tbo house.

Bright and clear is every morn
ing; rosy with aurora borealis
splendor is each evening. Time
treads noiselessly, bat not on flow-
ers, for so long has it been since
refreshing shower,tbat tbo Goddess
Flora has left scarcely a memento
of her reign behind. The heavens
seem made of brass, Nowitbstand
ing, Christmas is coming, and
though there be a “skeleton In
every closet,” the gay world knows
it not. We, tbat have travelled
over “weary mile stones” remember
our child-hood, its pleasures and
the delightful recollections connect
ed therewith. Hence we must not
cloud the brows of our little ones,
nor permit our cares to dim their
bright eyes with tears. Christmas,
Santa Claus and New Tear are
synonomous for glee, happiness and
joy, so let them “gather the roses
while they may.” Fill.their tiny
steokings, load every limb of the
“brave old Christmas tree” and
make it for them “a thing of beauty
and a joy forever,” Set the Christ
mas dinner with Its huge turkey
juicy ham, salads, Jellies, custards,
frosted cakes, ambrosia, syllabub
and fruits, bo a “feast of season as
well as a flow ol soul',” and though
they live until the snows of many
winters have silvered their locks
never will it be forgotten. Yes,
make the chi.drcn happy and no
matter how thoroughly crusted
with selfishness your heart may be,
it will thaw like ice in the sun light.
In making others happy, we are
happy ourselves.
Col. J. G. Parks is improving
since the weatbet has becomo cold
er, and it thrills the hearts of bis
friends with joy to know that tbit
gifted and talented lawyer has been
mercifully spared, it is to be hoped
for a long life of usefulness and
honor to hia state and country.
The streets of Dawson present a
gala appearanco during tue after
noon, when tbo ladies, like tropical
birds, fiock out in their varied cos

Even Senator Edmunds appears
to be finding out that the war is
over, as is evidenced by hia intro
