Southwest Georgia brings a new town to the front every week or so. The silver-tongued orators in Congress seem to be getting the best of tlie discussion. This would seem to be a good year to put in a lot of good work for immigration to Georgia. Fifty thousand Indians are marching in to surrender. The war of stui vatlon is over. Kocbine is the name applied to Koch’s lymph. Homo patent med icine man will use it at once. The Constitution bas come to the conclusion that our climate is changing. Ho has everybody else. Dr. N. 8. Hussey, of Columbus, father of a former Baptist minister of this city, died at Lfthia Springs Saturday night. The great Irish leader, Parnell, will probably have to resign the leadership, even after his great tight to retain It. The atteir-'* to civilize Indiana seems to be a dismal failure. The only way to keep an Indian on the reservation is to plant him. The newspapers say hard times are oyer. The banks say they have no money to loan. The people say they have no money to pay bills. How about It? BRINGING THEM DOWN. On the Pdth of this month anoth er Ohio excurlon will start for the old red bills of Georgia. As yet the nunber of the party cannot be ascertained, but it will be quite a large one, and composed of repre sentative men of every class. Many of tbis party have visited Georgia before, and quite a num ber of them have luvested money in lands, as well os new industries. Tue Recorder is glad to see them come, and extends them a hearty welcome. Their objective point is Fort Valley and Amerlcus, though many of them will visit the principal cities of the State In the different sections. Every party that visits the State is an advertisement for Georgia, for the farmers of Ohio are close observers, and when they return the news they tell their neighbors is always good, and at once a demand for Georgia liters ture is made. It takes several years to make a Georgia citizen of an Ohio resident, for first he must see, then become convinced that it would pay him to move;thon he must And the best place to settle, and then be must sell out his Ohio possession to good advantage. All this takes time, of course, but when once lie moves he is sure to remain here. Let them come. Let them be welcomed. The more the better. AMONG THE EDITORS. Editor Glessner, of The Record er, Is off to Ohio, from where he will bring another excursion to Georgia. Mr. Grover Cleveland treats with silent contempt the campaign slan der that he Is a cousin of Ingalls, the bloodthirsty Senator from bleeding Kansas. Government work Is very slow. It takes a contractor three times as long to complete a job for the gov ernment as for a private firm. Red tape causes the delay. A new Idea In the Cosmopolitan Is to have engravings made from protog- bis from real life, to Illus trate it -dories. It Is very pretty and adn>. interest to the story. Brunswick Is already In the field after the military encampment. It eeenis to be taken as a matter of coure that the encampment will be located by tbe sea or in the moun tains. Out in Nebraska they are having a lively time lust:’ ,g the new state ofileers. T> md Republican gover; t refuses ’ a vacate liis of- 11. v. . is mighty bard for a Re publican to let go of an office. tVe have our d. -Is us to tbe sincerity cf the Repunllcun leaders in their a|t» , *s to pass the force bill. It looks very much an though tb p y were only making u show for appearance sake and really do not Intend ibat It snail become a lew. THE WORLD’S FAIR. With the attention now being di rected to the South as a field for investment and a desirable place for residence, the people of Georgia will make a great mistake If they fall to be represented at tbe World’s Fair In Chicago by a creditable ex hibit of tbe State’s resources. Other Southern states are preparing to make fine exhibits, and should Georgia’s space remain vacant they will secure that influx of cap ital and population which would otherwise como to us. Under our hide-bound constitu tion the legislature is prohibited from maktn tt a direct appropriation for this purpose, but this need not prevent the cities and counties from acting, and we believe that If there was an organized and energetic movement In that direction our people would respond so liberally as to furnish an ample fund for a splendid exhibit, one that would not only to do credit to the pride of tbe State, but one which would at tract to us thousands of good citi zens aud millions of capital. Who will take the lead In this matter? Very Near Correct. From tin* Koine Tribune. Judge Emory Jpeer, of Macon, is said to be as brave as Julus Caesar, but lie is regarded as a bitter parti san whether on or otl the beucli. The able Atlanta Constitution Is nearing round to tbe support of Gov. Hill for the Democratic uom- inatiou for President in !8f>2. We hate to see the Constitution left out in the cold, but Georgia will send a solid Cleveland delegation. Mark tbis. Tbe Rome Tribune wants Gen. IiOiigstreet to come back to tbe Democratic party. The Democrat ic party has got along very well without the General, and now that tbe Republicans have shelved him, what use have the Democrats of him? Bcluora Better Than Brain. From the Brunswick Times. It is indeed a hard matter these days to credit a paragraph from Georgia’s weeklies to the paper which deserves the credit. By the time a paragraph Is clipped and credited it is seen iuat least a dozen other papers. Why don’t you ed itors quit steeling aud do more work? Mr. It. Don McLeod offers the Schley County News lor sale, as lie Is compelled to move back to Flori da. The paper Is on a good paying basis, and would make money for an energetic young man. Tlie Hawkinsvllle News aud Dis patch says it will be a grand day for Georgia when Senator Hrowu retires to private life. The News papers are disposed to criticize the old man, now that his term Is near ly ended. Editor Gunn, of tue (’uthbert Liberal-Enterprise, bi.j round out how to print a pretty paper. He has a good pressman, buys tlie best ink and first-class paper, and tlie result Is one of tbe best printed weekly papers in tbe Htate. This is the truth, too. Mr. Gunn is now both editor and business manager of bis paper. THE LIVELY METER. Columbus, having possibly passed through tbe ga* meter stage with Baf- !y, has now an extended en gagement with the water works company and a water meter that tt has inti educed. A water expert notifies the Enquirer-Sun that this lively little worker wil*. through a pipe 1-32 of au inch big, pretend to give you 288 gal’ons of water in 2-1 hours. The same expert says an 1-2 inch pipe left open 24 hours will allow 294,012 gallons to pass through. Tbe Recorder had always sup posed that a gas meter was without a rival in its field of uncertaiuty and unreliability until it saw an electric meter. But this meter of Columbus iB truly entitled to the belt. The water consumers of Co lumbus may well prepare to deed their residences and stores to the company, for if such a record- breaking concern was allowed to run it would soon put the water company in possession of tbe city, Chattahoochee liver and all. The only way for tho Columbus people to get out of tbe difficulty ie to break the meters, or buy up the water plant at its cm price. All well regulated cities, like Ameri- cub, for instanoe, own their own water works, and run them for Ihe accommodation of the people. WEBSTER’S WATCH DOGS. The Houthern Alliance Farmer pays Hon. \V. M. Sears, represent ative from that county, the follow ing compliment: “As impromptu reception was tendered to Hon. \V. M. Hears, of Webster county, on Saturday even ing, Decembor 10th, at the Kimball House by several members of tlie legislature, in appreciation of his services in tbe general assembly. Resolutions were adopted approv ing the course of Mr. Sears in la beling for tbe interest of the State's finances, bis conservative aud man ly course defending tbe Htate. It was a very pleasant occasion and one long to be remembered by those present. It seems that Webster county Is destiued to furnish men who carefully look after the State’s finances.” PATRONIZE HOME- Nearly every paper In Georgia insists on tbe people patrouizing “home Industries.” Aud yet how few of the people really know what the words rneau. They mean that when you want a few yards of a certain kind of silk, do not write to a foreign house for it. but call at your home store aud see if it cannot .supply you; if you E- A- HAWKINS. l TTORNEY AT LAW.

Hard times would never be felt if people would patronize and pay for borne goods as they should. Think of how our forefathers traded corn, hides, and other produce, when money was au unknown quantity, aud how comfortably they go*, aloug. Many a patriotic man lias failed in business because he tried to help his neighbors as much as possible, aud when the critical moment came bis neighbors refused to pay bim, and forced him to fall. To patrcnlze home Industry not only means to buy goods from your home merchant, but to help him in every other way possible— take his goods instead of cash when necessary to balaucc accounts, and in every other way show your good feeling toward him, and willing ness to help him to “live and let live.” ROBT.

MORE LIGHT- Amerlcus is probably tbe best lighted city in Georgia, yet the past few weeke has shown that even with all the electric lamps she has, the streets are insufficient ly lighted. Tbe lamps are power ful, and burn brilliantly, but they are too far apart. Only In the center of tbe city is the city lighted as it should be ou dark nights. Two blocks from the square a pedestrian is us liable to walk Into a ditch as to keep on the sidewalk. If the power or the lamps could be divided, and the number of lamps doubled, then indeed would we have a city at night to be proud of. The Recorder Is not disposed to be crllicle, and feels very thank ful that the city is as well equipped as it is, but at tbe same time It could and should be improved. Hundreds of people who have busi ness up town at night that requires their attention will agree to what The Recorder says from actual experience. Suvannan tins given t’ol.

The Recorder isof the opinion that all this fuss about investigat ing the rece:..is m d expenditures of the city might, have ..eon avoided had tlie City Council for the past two years appointed a committee to examine the Clerk and Treas urer's books and published annual reports of their findings. All local bodies having charge of tlie collection and expenditure of public monies should make and publish an annual report of their | action, fully specifying the items of receipts aud expenditures. It would be well to have a general law requiring every public officer wno bandies public money to make aud publish aunuatly a statement uuderoatb of his aecouuts. The Recorder bas no Idea that there lias been any wrongful dis bursement of tbe city’s funds, and it has no doubt but that tbe inves tigation of the books will show that the Luxes have been judiciously ex pended. The Mirror of Commerce Is a new monthly journal devoted to Indus trial progress. It is edited by Mr. W. G. Cooper, and is published In Savannah. Mr. Cooper Is one of the best posted men in Georgia on Industrial matters, and his articles are widely copied, and attract much attention. The Macon County Citizen has chauged its form from a six column quarto to a seven column folio, and has been greatly Improved, The Constitution Is poaohtng on tbe preserves of the AugustaChron- lele, and sends an edition to Au gusta by eight o’clock every morn ing. This the ChroDicle objects to, but the people seem to tike It. The Constitution is only reqioutlug Its Birmingham enterprise. ■ The Rome Tribune insists that there Is some truth In the report of a new morning paper being started in Atlanta, and that Col. J. H. Kstlll will have an interest in It. If the old story that Col. F.stlll has paid regularly for a telegraphic franchise In Atlanta Is true, there may be some truth In tho rumor about a new Atlanta dally. Only Fair Play. From the Cuthbert Liberal* Enterprise. The Rome Tribune ia In high dudgeon because “since his inaug uration Governor NortLen has crossed the Chattahoochee river but once in makiugappoiutuients.” The Tribune ought to remember that it has been very rare for any Governor who baa preceded Gov ernor Northen to cross tlie Flint or Ocmulgoe rivers in making ap- pointments, and that “across the Chattahoochee, northward, has pulled about ail the pluirs for ten years, or more. Time about Is Talr play.” Madison lsout of debt and hag $l,2o0iu her treasury. The governor will have only two election contests to doeide this year. The sale of the court house lots In Dawson has been postponed until the first Tuesday in March. Macon is preparing for a party of Northern capitalists and proposes to expend 42,000 in entertaintug them. The new goverument building in Atlanta Is at last nearly completed It has taken over two years to put an additional story on It. Oueof the featu-cs of the Albany Chautauqua, to bo held In March, will be a “Press Day,” to which all the editors o f the State will be in vited. The Balnbridge Democrat wants Georgia to be represented at tbe World’s Fair, aud promises that Decatur county will contribute Its proportion ot the expense. Tlie Cherokee Alliance has passed a resolution censuring the repre sentatives from that county for vot ing for Gen. Gordon for Senator. This Alliance certainly cannot be charged with being too previous. Savannah has granted to the Middle Georgia and Atlantic rail road Hutchinson’s Island. It Is said that the 8. A. M. road will combine with the M., G. & A. and thus secure terminal frcillti»s at Savannah. The trial of Hall and others of the Dodge county conspirators '■ :h aroused Interest all over the Tbe convicted met- nay be carried to Ohio at any time, aud their friends are doing every thing possi ble to obtain a stay ol judgement. The Davenport Drug Company have made a large purchase of W. W. C., Wooldridge’s Wonderful Cure, the greatest Blood Purifier and fumlly medicine now on the market, for tho purpose of supply ing the trade throughout tbis sec tion. Send them your orders, and save freights from distant points. COMPARISONS. “Comparisons are odious,” but the one made below in an artlclo in the National Economist by N, A. Dunning should cause msuy level beaded farmers to do a deal of thinking. Here it Is: Two neighbors bad each $1,000 in I860, which they desired to invest in some kiud of speculation. The one bought wheat and stored It, while the other locked up his mon ey and let It remain idle. Each al lowed Ills investment to remain unchanged until the present time, when tbe matter would be about as follows: IMS. Mr. A, with his I'..000, can buy at tu cents per bushel bushels 1.6M Mr, B.wltn GOO bushels of wheat, can purchase only 300 Mr. Dunning then asks this per tinent question: “If idle money can Increase so alarmingly in its power over tb products of labor, what may not money loaned at ruinous rates of luterest do?” Mr. Dunning believes that tbe coutractiou of tbe currency brings about such evils, in that it makes money a greater force than tbe power that earns money. With larger circulating medium, money would bo freer, and rates of Inter cat would dec- <e until it became a par with a n n’s power to earn and pay.

It is essential that they should be kept In good repair. Nature bar en dowed this orgau of life with won derful recuperative power. Many Instances are ou record where the lungs tutve been nuio miougi. „,u, a leaden bullet and the wound quickly healing. Therefore none j should despair when they discover j that their lungs are ufiected. Ere- | queuriy tho lungs become sore al.1 | ulcerated and by an ignorant doc tor pronounced consumption and worthless •"medics applied, witn serious results. When tlie lungs feel sore and breathing painful the proper remedies is Dr. Bull’* Sarsa parilla. Its tendency is to heal all ulcerations either futeror.i or exter nal. Many an invalid wh„„e en-c was pronounced hopeless h:,» been restored to vigorous health by a timely use of tuis excellent com pound.

HR Rrcoi’ < :it print’ seine good news for the .eople of Amerlcus this morning—that this city will, In six montns, have a free o. livery system of the mails. This does not depend on any banco bill thru Congress may pass, but ou tho rev.l value of the Amerl- •us postntllce to the govtrnmeut nd the general law that allows free delivery system in towns where the postofllce receipts amount to a certain sum in a certain time. At the end of the last quarter this postotfleo lacked only a few dollars of reaching the required amount, and Postmaster Roney and liis hmJ dents determined that at the end of the uext quarter the figures would bo a)! right—and they are.

[ Fortunately, Americus is pre pared in every other respect—such as numbered houses, names of streets, etc.—to fully comply with the postolllce requliemeu.s, aud us ! soon as the necessary Arrangements can he made tl le system will he put lu operation.
