A town is like a huge family, says an exchange, We are all interested in each other’s welfare—or should be. A cut-throat, every-mau-for-himself policy rner us ruin to any community, ft means retrogression and failure. If there is any one lesson in politics that must he learned without fail, it is that of mutual assistance. The same prin <vole applies to the business of a town, and the more abundant will be the city’s prosperity. Stand by one an¬ other and patronize home folks. ' vouug lady who heard Sam Joues preach recently tells the following, which is but characteristic of the man: Before beginuiug his sermon he pro¬ ceeded to rebuke his late comers: ■‘Now what makes you women late ? I’ll tell you—primpin’. All the late - ••'••ers who didn’t stay at home in’ stand up.” No one rose but very ugb woman. Sant looked at a moment and remarked: “Well God '•■vs. sister, you need primpin’ and it makes no diffeience how late you cewc hereafter, I’ll make no fuss.” There are twenty-five divoice cases booked for trial ia Burke county, and the Augusta Herald asks what is the counti,. -joining to? Well, if we were to take the country as a whole, as in ibt. u. of Burke, we should judge that there would be a general separa¬ tion. Secretary Carlisle is making a tour of the f?outh now, and is making gold bug speeches at different places. On Tuesday of this week the rner >cury went down to freezing point in 'New York and other points in the ’ NoraL. C RAW FOR D Yf IAA . ( A.,-F i ? i )A V, MAY l>4, 1S9A The Cuban War.

The boat is made 6f India rubber cloth. It weighs only fifteen or twenty pounds, and can carry a weight of four hundred pounds.

T. 1 Struck by Lightning. On Thursday night of last week the | Baptist Church in Harlem was struck p, iiohtniug. Tliecttu.se of the holt striking the church was due to the dis placement of the lightning rod on the building, one portion of it resting on t )ie roof. The bolt went down the rod until it reached the roof where the, rod rested on the building. The bolt went through the roof into the building, tearing down the plastering iu some j places and defacing one of the win j hows, A vety short while before the building w as struck prayer meeting was j b <’ing conducted in the church, , but , for- , | tunately no one was in the building when ii was struck.

Kjhtoks; The ••Improved Order of Red Men" is a united hrolheilioud Their pur¬ pose being to he’patid make each other better. The Great Council of Georgia met in Austell ou Tuesday the 14th insl. Ou their arrival, thuy were carried to the, olliee of the bond their headquarters. Great Peedee. Tribe of Austell, follow ed by the Great Council inarched to the Prosbvterian church. Alter the singing of the. opening ode, and prayer bv Rev. T. F. Pierce, addresses of wel¬ come were made. To these impressive responses were made by members of the Great. Council. After the exercises were over, the line of march was form ed and we went to the Red Aim's hall. The Great Council had a very pleasant and entlmsias ic session, We wci\ glad to entertain these worthy gentle men in our homes, and were only sorry they did not stay longer. The main feature of thin meeting was the orphans’ home to be built in Austell. Tliin matter was freely and ably dis¬ cussed, and advanced steps were taken. This no doubt will cause a thrill of joy to go through the hearts of the wives and children of the lied Men of the Slate. The fact that they have enough of ('bristly spirit, to attempt to care for the orphans and w idows of deceased brethren speaks well for the older. A Tran lament had been made, ior tin* Georgia Grand Lodge of Masons to lay tim corner stone ol the Allred Austell Consequently oil Wednesday a special j train came out i fiom Atlanta. ti,,, 1 li Grand Lodge was < snorted by tb< knight iMH 4 m ai.‘i.

You rarely see such a targe crowd, as orderly as that was. After the train pulled up to leive, the hand stood in front of the depot and played ‘Dixie” Ibat brought the India .i you Buni many throats. Then they sent forth on the evening air, the sweet melody of ‘Home Sweet Home.” How fitting after laying an orphans’ home corner stone to close the day with the strains of this heavenly old song. ( Hon. J K. Harris, of Columbus, past Great Sachem of the State, remained a tew days after the meeting, to drink our water by which lie, lias been greatly henciitted. He is a steward in St. Luke’s Church, Columbus, a nephew of the late Christian philanthropist Y. L. G. Harris of Athens, ami one ot t he nicest Christian gentleman 1 ever saw.
