WEEKLY l TIMES. jr. A. FOI'CHK, Kdltor. Entered at ti e postoffice ftt McDonough Gn., ns secojd-class mail matter. McDonough. Ga., Sf.pt. 23, 1892. 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 ing. 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.— Atlanta Herald 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.— Ex. 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. It is not generally known that it is an impossibility to run a newspaper to suit yourself and everybody else too. ’Twas always thus and so ’twill ever l>e. 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. London Tid-Hits. 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 keeps a quiliu’ ’round me tell he most smuvers de href outen me.” “What is wrong now ?” ‘•Hits dem chickens ob Kunnel Brown’s, sah. De coop ha keeps um in butts op agin de lot I’se libbin ou an’ de pailn’s off de fence, so dat dey gets ober in my garden. Dey’s fat an sassy, sah, an’ dey’s gittiu long ter dat ago wha’ you can mighty nigh smell urn fryiu’. an’ I haiu’t tasted chicken dish yeah. I’se powerful fond ob my ’ligiou, sah, an’ its comfertiu’ to me. but, sah, human nacher caiu’t stau’ eberyt’ing, sah, an’ I spec ef de kun uel don’t take chickens away befo’ deys plum ready to fry, my ’ligion’s gwine ter slide out from under me, sho. ’Ligion is a powah, sab, but dar’s sumpiu satisfyin’ about a fat chicken dat 'ligiou cau’t supply, an ef you tell de Kunnel my feelin’s on de subjick, sah, p’r’aps he’ll take dish yer great temtatiou away frum me, sah, and wal lop de ole sarpaut, sah, right in his tracks, ’excuse me, sah, but I ain’t axin’ too much, is I ?” 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 jt. It is not money one handles, but that which sticks to his fiugers that makes him richer than he was be fore.

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 cess, finally bought a box of De Witt’s Witcli Hazel Salve, and it has cured me. C. I). Haskins, Peoria, 111. 1) J. Sanders. 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.

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 mers Voice.
