A New Jersey man 100 years old says he is not proud of it, as he was willing to die several years ago. About 020,000,000 crossties are now laid on American railroads, and 90,000,000 new ties are re quired annually for renewals. Herr Krupp, maker of the fam ous Krupp gun, died at his palace in Germany last week. He was made famous by his make of war guns. The legislature, like other in stitutions, puts off the hard propositions until the last, and then has a terrible rush of busi ness at the finish. President Mitchel, of the Mine Workers Association, proved a good match for the lawyers of the t rusts and they failed to make any thing out of him on the stand. Read the advertisments of the merchants who patronize us. We commend them to the readers of our paper. They will do what they say through our columns. Even in Maryland we learn that apple and peach trees are in bloom ' and butterflys as thick as in June, i Farmers are working outdoors in short sleeves and instead of win ter there is a second spring. Lets everybody take a day <>tV to-dav and return thanks. We! all have something to be thank ful for no matter how hard our! lot appears, or how gloomy the prospects for the future. It is our duty to do this much. The most solid institutions of the country are those which ad vertise freely in the newspapers. Examine the statistics and you will find that those businesses which are most successful are those backed by a good line of newspaper advertising. If you can’t say anything good j about your town keep your mouth ; shut. If you know anything good tell it to the world. If you j are not satisfied with the condit ions that surround you move away. It will be better for you and for the town. Deliver us from a chronic croaker. The Sultan of Jonore, is com ing to see us, now. He is a hand some bachelor king, it is said, only twenty-seven years old. He has a few wives, but is free to take as many as he likes; so he may be interesting to the American girls, is the observation of the Macon Evening News. Newspaper writers, speakers and investors are constantly talking of the fact that the south is the greatest section of the United States. It is rapidly developing into the most business portion of this land and manufacturing en terprises arc gradually turning this way. Here is a lesson in thrift from an esteemed contemporary. “If you had begun five years ago to lay up a dollar a week and put in the savings bank you would now have more than o —and in the mean time you'd have hardly missed it. The same result can be accomplish ed in the next five years if you be gin this week.” O^LSTOniA. B**r _/? Tl Kind You Haw Mwars Bougta TAX FRANCHISES. The Atlanta Journal’s position ;on the question of taxing fran chises, in our opinion, is the cor rect one, and the present legisla ture should enact those views in to law. The franchises of street rail ways and other such corpora tions should*be taxed, regardless of whether or not the state was in any special financial strait. This property should bear its I share of the expenses of the state 1 government. The special appeal of the Journal in this matter has been strongly presented, and the legislature should put such a law upon the statute books of the state. GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS.
