Queen Victoria’s Birthday.
Queen Victoria celebrated her sev¬
enty-fifth birthday a few days ago.
The qneen is now in excellent health,
and it is possible that she will live for
some years to come. She has been on
the throne fifty-seven years, and her
reign embraces many of the most mem
orable events in English history.
Victoria will not rank in history
among the greatest rulers of the world,
but she will be remembered as a good
wife and mother, a model of virtue
and a queen who felt a deep interest in
the welfare of her subjects. She has
had nine children, of whom seven are
still living.
Since she has been on the throne
her people have given her in the cival
list expenditures §110,275,000, and
$48,676,705 for the support of her
residences and stables. Her direct ex¬
penditures are $1,800,000 a year. The
sum allowed by the government for
the support of the other members
of the royal family is $1,300,000 a
year. The queen has saved and in¬
vested some thirty or forty million
dollars, and in the event of a revolu¬
tion her children would inherit
enough to give them a new start in the
world.
There is not much more to be said
about this serene and fortunate
old lady. She holds to the religions
faith and the political creed of her
fathers, and is opposed to liberal views.
Bhe hates scandal as much as she hated
Mr. Gladstone, loves big dinners and
good wine, and still believes that her
husband was the best man that ever
lived. Two or three attempts have
been made to assassinate her, but her
people love her, and her successor will
ularity. be lucky indeed if he enjoys her pop¬
This Inst anniversary was a
notable one. It is a rare thing for a
sovereign to celebrate a seventy-fifth
birthday after fifty-seven years on tho
throne.— Ex.
Radishes.
Radishes possess valuable medicinal
properties. They are demulcent,stim¬
ulating and diuretic, and should be
eaten freely when fresh and crisp.
They are usually eaten with salt only,
but if sliced thin are very nice with a
French dressing. In this country the
radishes themselves are rarely cooked,
though the tops of young radishes are
often boiled. The radish is a native
of Asia, where it 1ms been cultivated
from the most ancient times. Nearly
an inch of the green top should be
left on the radishes when they are
prepared for the table, and this little
portion of the top should bo eaten, as
the peculiar properties they possess
help to digest the radish itself.— West¬

AND THERE OVER THE STATE
And Condensed Into Pithy and Inter
esting Paragraphs.
A new postoffice by the name of Uti¬
ca has been established iu northwest
Worth county.
The population of Moultrie is now
estimated at 800, against 200 about
two years ago.
It is claimed that Colquitt county
is now the leading turpentine produc¬
ing county in the state.
Officers of the Brunswick and West¬
ern railroad are figuring on the com¬
pletion of the McDonald tram road to
Douglas, to be utilized as a feeder for

The report of the grand jury of
Dooly county reveals an extraordinary
state of affairs, and one that, in view
of tho general cry of “hard times,” the
people of Dooly have cause to be
proud of. There is a balance of $18,000
in cash in the county treasury, more
than enough to run the county both
this year and next and the grand jury
decided not to levy any taxes at ail
this year.
The National Bank of Brunswick has
called in its series “A” certificates,
which were issued to the creditors of
the First National bank and which falls
duo July 19th and September 19th.
Interest on these certificates will cease
on June 1st. This is an evidence of
the strength of the new bank, and a
compliment to its management. The
amount thus paid out is between
$50,000 and $60,000, and displays u
hopeful indication of Brunswick’s re¬
turning prosperity.
The New York Evening World thus
dilates upon the luscious Georgia peach
in Gotham: “The peaches grown in
Georgia are as choice ns tbe choicest
hot house fruits. Marshalville lias the
glory of growing the “Elbertn,” the
most luscious fruit that ever came
from a tree. New York will have tho
first pick, and the carload due the first
week in June will contain 20,000
pounds ready to bo peeled, cut and
smothered in cream and sugar. Dur
July and August twenty-four million
packages of peaches will come into tho
New York market from Georgia, Dela¬
ware, New Jersey and Michigan.
Between tho fall in temperature tbe
past week, which has carried the mer¬
cury below tbe point of frost, and the
dry, cold winds, which have swept
over tho country with their blighting
breath, the cotton plant has received a
backset from which it is well nigh use¬
less to expect a complete recovery.
The cotton lias suffered almost as much
from the wind ns it has from tho cold
weather and is in bad condition. This
much is settled beyond dispute and tho
farmers aro very greatly concerned.
The crop was not a very large one to
start with and many discouraging cir¬
cumstances have marked the year and
caused the farmers to feel very bluo
over the situation.
Surveying Tlie Line. .
Tlie Atlantic Coast Line has ordered
a survey of a railroad line between
Charleston and Augusta, and prepara¬
tions for the survey are now being
made. The Plant system is also tak¬
ing steps which leave the impression
that its management is also thinking of
arranging a connection between Au¬
gusta and Charleston. The Plants are
also engaged in making surveys in
the country between Walterboro,
B. C., and Augusta, and a new line is
being projected. The meaning of all
this is puzzling. Some people think
the Louisville and Nashville system is
at the bottom of some of it, either in
the way of a bluff or with the actual
object of obtaining revenge for certain
treatment recently received. In the
meantime engineers are undoubtedly
out in the country between Augusta
and Charleston projecting a new line,
and it is permitted to the people to
wonder what it all menus.
A Praiseworthy Object.
Tlie movement on foot by the Sons
of Confederate Veteran h to open arid
maintain tlie Soldiers’ Home is shaping
itself. The young men are bending
every energy for tbe accomplishment
of their praiseworthy purpose and it is
a matter of congratulation that they
are meeting with success. A state con¬
vention of sons of Confederate Veterans
lms been called to meet on June 27th.
At this ifteeting plans for the further¬
ance of the contemplated work will be
outlined. In oirfer to secure a large
attendance on the 27th ultimo, the At¬
lanta post of Sons of Confer ate Veter¬
ans has issued a stirring letter, which
will be sent to every newspaper in the
state. This letter is intended for pub¬
lication by the various state papers.
All papers are requested to aid tho ef¬
forts of tbe organization to secure a
largo attendance on the convention
and to otherwise uphold their hands
in their praiseworthy movement.
The Death of General Look.
The announcement of the sudden
death of General Cook, Secretary of
State, carried sorrow to the hearts of
kte hosts of friends and admirers
throughout Georgia and elsewhere.
The General had served his people with

private and public fife in peace and in
war. He was born m 1817. At the e«!y

He was a member 1 the first con

his state to her former rank and pros¬
perity. Five times ho "as elected to

Throughout his long and honorable
life General Cook was distinguished
alike for his pre-eminent services to
his state and to his country, and for
his pure and lofty character—simple,
strong, unstained, faithful to every
duty. As ho loved his people, and
served them, so will they revere his
memory, and seek to do honor to the
hero who, losing ail in a disastrous
war, remained unwearied in theii
service, and died in his old age still

He leaves us tho legacy of his fame,
the memory of a life of simple loyalty
.and devotion to his country's service,
and the lessons taught by such a life
of duty and its orown of honor—the
reverence and the deathless love of his

over declaring it ns the sense of tho
senate that the United States should
not uso force for the purpose of re¬
storing to tho throne the deposed
queen of tho Sandwich islands or de¬

drew the finance committee amend¬

NEWS IS GENERAL.
A BRIEF SUMMARY OK IMPOR¬
TANT HAPPENINGS
Showing What is Going On In Onr
Own and Foreign Lands.
Serious riots, caused by tho striking
miners, have occurred at Centrnlia,
Odin and La Salle, Ohio.
A successful operation for the re¬
moval of a cataract from one of Mr.
Gladstone’s eyes was performed Thurs¬
day. Mr. Gladstone stood the opera¬
tion without anaesthetics, and is now
doing well.
Craven & Craven, worsted spinners
of Bradford, England, have failed, lia¬
bilities amounting to £200,000; assets
unknown. Several other large failures
are expected, ns tho trade of the town
has been half ruined by the McKinley
law anil the delay in arranging a new
American tariff.
One miner was killed and several
wounded before dawn Saturday morn¬
ing in an attack made by miners upon
a train containing deputy sheriffs at
Cripple Creek, Col. The miners tired
from behind boulders and the depu¬
ties from the coach windows, giving
battle in earnest.
Valentine Blatz, president of tho
Blatz Brewing Company, at Milwau¬
kee, is dead. Ho was one of Milwau¬
kee’s oldest and most successful brew¬
ers. Ho established the brewery which
bears his name in 1851, with a capital
of only $500. Mr. Blatz’s wealth is
estimated at #15,000,000.
A suit for one million dollars dam¬
ages lias been begun in the United
States circuit court at Chicago by the
French republic against the World's
Columbian exposition. The litigation
grows out of the French government's
claim for damages to exhibits of French
subjects injured during tho manufac¬
turers’ building fire.
Tho California populist state con¬
vention nominated the following tick¬
et: Governor, J. V. Webster, of Ban
Luis Obispo; secretary of state, M.
McGlynn, Ban Francisco; commission¬
er, John M. Dore, Fresno; treasurer,
F. N. Barton, Placer county; attorney
general, Louis Tncholo, Los Angeles;
snperintendant of publio instruction,
W. A. Richardson, Ban Francisco.
Heavy storms were reported Bun
day from ninny points along tile south
of England coast. Much wreckage
has gone ashore at Broad Stairs and
Ilfracombe. Tho camp of the East
Kent militia regiment at Shorn Cliffs
lias been flooded. Tho tents were
blown away and tho bedding and
clothing were drifting about in some
eighteen inches of water. The grain
crops and fruilH further inland have
been greatly damaged.
A great drought in the far western
part of Nebraska is reported. Tho
farmers have boon unable to raise a
crop or obtain water for stock. As a
consequence hundreds of fauns in
Lincoln and adjoining counties are
being deserted by their tenants, who
are moving eastward in wagons. No
rain has fallen in weeks, and all vege¬
tation is parched. Other portions of
the state fare very much better^ but
the small grain js n
failure.
A party of rainmakers from seine
point in tho north haveboen operating
in the usually arid region about 100
miles west of Han Antonio, Texas,
near Brackett, for the past two weeks,
and have thoroughly convinced tho
people of that section that their scheme
is a grand success. Heavy rains have
fallen in that immediate locality dur¬
ing the pnut few days, the total fall
having been greater than for several
years. The process consists of firing
some kind of chemicals into the uir.
On account of tho scarcity of coal
tho Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
railroad made an experiment of trying
to run tho locomotive of tho fust mail
train from Chicago with coal oil. Tho
oil exploded at Kowauoo, scattering
tho burning fluid over tho engineer
and iiromau. It is thought tho engin¬
eer is ho badly burned that ho ran not
recover. Tho fireman was also budly
burned about tho face, neck and
breast.
The Edgar Thompson steel works at
Braddock, Da., have closed down in
all departments hut one, and that will
likely close iu a few days. The cause
is lack of iron and coke. The scarcity
of iron results from the shut down of
so many furnaces. Thu blowing out
of so many furnaces and the conse
rjuent scarcity of iron may cause ashut
down of the Carnegie plants at I > 11 -
<jliesne, Pittsburg and Beaver Palis,
throwing over 20,000 men in all out of
employment. Over 2,500 are now
idle.

The ( linage of Name.
It is said that the practice of tho
wife’s assuming tho husband's name
at marriage originated from a Roman
custom, and became the common cuh
tom after tho Roman occupation,
Thus Julia and Octavia, married to
I’ompoy and Oiooro, wore called by
the Romans Julia of I’ompoy and Oo
tnvia of Cicero, and Iu later times
married women iu most European the
countries signed tlielr names in
same manner, but omitting tho “of.”
Against this view may lie mentioned
that during tho sixteenth, and even
the beginning of the seventeenth cen¬
tury, tho usage seems doubtful, since
we see Catherine l’err so signing her¬
self after she has been twice married,
and we always hear of Lady Jane
Grey (not Dudley) and Arabella Btu
art (not Hcymour). Home persons from
think that the custom originated
the Horiptural teaching that husband
and wife are one. Jt wus decided in
the ease of Ben va. Hmith, in the reign
of Elizabeth, that a woman by mar¬
riage loses her former name and le¬
gally receives that of her husband,—
