The Wealth of Georgia.
• Georgia’s increase in wealth the past
twelve months was $10,000,000 less
than for the previous year. Several
counties show a falling off in their tax
able property. Glynn county, for in
stance, (lid not return as much for 1892
bv over half a million as she did for
1891.
In an interview Comptroller General
Wright said that the decreases are pro
bably due to different causes. He at
tributed a part of it to the general dull
ness which prevails all over the country.
The boards of equalizers, he thinks,
have not been so thorough in their work
as the tax receivers were In the past
when they made up the returns. “1
have noticed,” said the Comptroller,
“in the past that a tax receiver usually
did not make so good a showing his
first year as he did the second. lie
would seem to be a little timid at first,
but as he became better acquainted
with his work he raised values. This
may be the case with the equolizers, but
I believe that the officer or officers who
determine the values of property for
taxation should be appointed, and not
elected.”
The State’s total taxable property
this year as returned is about fjt4(i2,-
000,000. Of this sum, Muscogee, Ful
ton, Chatham, Bibb and Richmond
counties, return nearly one third.—
That is to say, these five city counties
pay almost one third the taxes of the
State.
A Striking Comparison.
Jimmy Corbett picked up another
$30,000 in Now York the other even

The Davis monument has not been
erected for lack of funds.
The Grant monument is incomplete
for lack of funds.
Ilollowed-eyed women walk the
streets of every city, seeking bread and
clothing for emaciated childern at
home.
The children of the poor grow up in
ignorance and crime for lack of refor
matories or money to bu : ld them.
Preachers throughout the country are
starving to death.
Yet we call ourselves civilized.—

Is This Reform?
Is it reform to give the goverment —
the worst enemy of the people—power
to speculate in operating railroads and
the telegraph ?
Is it reform to ignore the tariff bur
dens ?
Is it reform to tefuso to condemn the
force bill ?
Is it reform to deliver the Alliance,
bound hand and foot, over to a partic
ular political party, contrary to its or
ganic law ?
Is it reform to reach down into the
pocket of honest Southern men to make
them help pay one thousand millions
back rations to Federal soldiers ?
And yet these are the propositions
clearly made by the so-called “reform”
movement —Walton News.
In north Georgia was a young wide
awake business man, who held the posi
tion of clerk. His employers bought two
lots of hats, exactly alike, except one
had a different colored paper in the
top from the others. They were go
ing to mark both lots at the same price,
but the clerk proposed that if they
would let him mark one lot much high
er than the other, they could be sold
much (flicker. It was done and the
high priced ones were taken by almost
every customer. The clerk afterwards
formed a partnership and weut into
business for himself. His partner
bought a bolt of broadclotti. The ju
nior member said to him that he ough;
to have laid in two grades, and the
next best thing proposed was to divide
the roll, and mark one half much high
er than the other. It was done. The
high priced article sold rapidly. When
it was almost gone, another change
was made. The remnant was marked
down and the full piece up. The young
merchant said his customers ought not
complain. He had offered them the
same article marked high and low.—

The Genuine Merit
Of Hood’s Sarsaparilla wins friends
wherever it is fairly and honestly tried.
Its proprietors are highly gratified at
the letters which come entirely unso
licited from men and women in the
learned professions warmly commend
ing Hood’s Sarsaparilla for what it has
done for them.
Hood’s Pills cure liver ills, jaun
dice, biliousness, sick headache, con
stipation.

WHAT A FRIEND IS.
A Question That Is Very Hard to
Answer-
This is the prize definition :
“The first person who comes iu
when the whole world has gone out.”
The following are some of the best
definitions submitted :
A bank credit on which we can
draw supplies of confidence, counsel,
sympathy, help and love.
One who considers my need before
my deservings.
The triple alliance of the three great
powers, love, sympathy and help.
One who understands our silence.
A jewel whose luster the strong ac
ids of poverty and misfortune cannot
dim.
One who smiles on our fortunes,
frowns on our faults, sympathizes with
our sorrows, weeps at our bereavements
and is a safe fortress at all tiroes of
trouble.
One who, gaining the top of the lad
der, won’t forget you if you remain at
the bottom.
One who iu prosperity does uot
toady you, iu adversity assists you, in
sickness nurses you, and after your
death marries your widow and provides
for your children.
The holy of life, whose qualities are
overshadowed in the summer of pros
perity, but blossom forth in the winter
of adversity.
He who does not adhere to the say
ing that No. 1 should come first.
A watch which beats true for all
time and never “runs down.”
All insurance against misanthropy.
An earthly minister of heavenly hap
piness.
A friend is like ivy—the greater
the ruin the closer he clings.
One who to himself is true, and
therefore must be so to you.
The same to day, the same to mor
row, either in prosperity, adversity or
sorrow.
One who combines for you alike the
pleasures and benefit of society and
solitude.
One who is a balance in the sea sa w
of life.
One who guards another’s interest
as his own and neither flatters nor de
ceives.
A ninotenth century rarity.
One who will tell you of your faults
and follies in prosperity and assists
you with his hand and heart in adver
sity.
One truer to me than I am myself.

Religion and Fried Chicken.
A well known Southern divine has in
his congregation an old colored man
who has great confidence in his pastor.
One day Undo Willis came into the
doctor’s study.
“Scuse me, sah,” ho said, “hut I’se
come to talk wid you on a pint dat
pesters me a powerful sight.”
•‘What is it, uncle,” inquired the
doctor, kindly.
“Well, sah I’se been gwine to yo’
chu’ch fer a long time, an’ been try in’
to do right.”
“Y es, uncle, you have been very
faithful.”
“I hopo so sah, but its been mighty
hard wuk sometimes, an’ do ole sarpent

smuvers de href outen me.”
“What is wrong now ?”
‘•Hits dem chickens ob Kunnel

The doctor had the chickens remov
ed.
Just how an alterative medicine
cleanses the system is an open ques
tion ; but that Ayer’s Sarsaparilla does
produce a radical change in the blood
is well attested on all sides. It is
everywhere considered the best reme
dy for blood disorders.
It is easrer to get money than to keep

but that which sticks to his fiugers
that makes him richer than he was be

spends the price thereof for food for
man and beast ?—Texas Farm and

FUNNY EXCERPTS FROM OUR
EXCHANGES.
The man who is blunt ol
speech is not apt to make cut
ting remarks.
Men go down to the sea
in ships, but they go over the
bay in schooners.
Any person can get there,
but the question is what’s he
going to do after he arrives.
A prize-fight is called a
“mill” because the other fel
low is reduced to pulp.
When a lawyer files excep
tions to rulings of the Court
does he rasp his honors sen
sibilities.
When a catboat and “ocean
greyhound” comes together
at sea there’s apt to be trouble.
Nothing is more indicative
of the selfish greed of man
than the numerous pockets
in his clothes.
A new street superintend
ent ought to be able to pave
his way into the good graces
of his fellow-citizens.
“What were her father’s
closing remarks?” “I could
not hear them; I was on the
wrong side of the door.
The deaf-mute has this ad
vantage; When he has no
other person to converse with
he can still talk with his fin
gers.
It is hardly square to send a
blind man to jail for having
no visible means of support,
or to commit a deaf man with
out a hearing.
Possibly the future politi
cian’s earliest impulse to
smash the slate is when as a
boy he has to go back to
school after vacation.
It has not yet occurred to
the dictionary-makers to clas
sify “phonograph” as a femi
nine noun simply because it
“talks back.”
The joint debate between
Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Corbett
on the force bill is one of the
events of the hour that is ex
citing some interest.
Have tried almost every known
remedy for Itching Biles without sue

It Emptied the House.
•‘Emily,” hoarsely whispered the
host, paralyzed with terror, “what will
we do ? A fire has broken out on the
roof, the engines will be along in Sve
minutes, and here is the house full of
company ! There will be a panic !”
“Not at all, James,” replied the
hostess, “I'll manage it.”
Turning to the group near the piauo
she said sweetly :
“I am delighted that so many came
this evening, for I have arranged a
genuine surprise. Col. S. Perkins
Kajones, a relative of one of our best
families, is to read two or thiee of his
own dialect stories. 1 expect him here
every momeut.”
There was a wild scramble, but no
body was hurt, and in four and a half
minutes the house was empty.
DIED—Iu this city of consump

It’s pretty risky to neglect a cold or
cough. One Minute Cough Cure is

The republicans are ou nettles. De
feat is certaiu, and the future is dark
for their party. They have for years
shown the utmost contempt for the
rights of the people and this fall the
people will show their contempt for
the party. Having sown the wind
they will reap the whirlwind of popu
lar disapproval.—Clyde ( Kas.) Far

There is no use talking, neither Har
