UNDER THE HAMMER.
The Georgia Midland Railroad to
Sell on February t.
Columbus, Ga., Jan. 13.—The Geor
gia Midland and Gnif railroad will be
odd at public auction In this city ou
Fcbtuary Ist. This date has been de
aided on by Master Commissioner J.
W. Murphy, and the sale will take
place at 12 o’clock at the depot, corner
of Sixth street and Sixth avenue, od
that day.
Mr. Murphy was appointed master
commissioner by Judge Newau on May
6th last, in a decree ordering the sale
of this road. The date of sale was left
to the discretion of the commissioner.
I he sale was ordered to satisfy a mort
gage for $1,646,000 in favor of the
Central Trust Company of New York,
trustee for the bondholders. The
whole amt., with interest due on the
bonds at the time of the deerpe, was
1,761,617.60 and to this must be added
the interest accruing to the bondhold
ers since May 6th.
The bidding must start at $500,000
as no bid or less amouut will be receiv
ed. The purchaser of the property,
when the same is struck down to him
shall at once pay in cash or certified
checks approved by the commissioner
the sum of $25,000, and within thirty
days thereafter such additional amounts
in cash for expenses as may be espec
ially ordered by the court. The bal
aiice af the purchase price may be paid
in money or in first mortgage 4 per
cent bonds and overdue coupons of the
defendant company secured bv the
mortgage in said suit foreclosed at the
option of the purchaser, under the con
ditous provided in the decree of sale by
the court of complaints.
The property to be sold consists of
ninety nine and one half miles of road
extending from Columbus to McDon
ough, together with the rolling stock
and all belonging to the road. The
property will probably be bid in by the
bondholders themselves and the road
reorganized by them.
Mr. Louis Garrard, one of the so
licitors representing *he bondholders’
trustee, the Central Trust Company,
stated that such was the intention of
the bondholders, unless some outside
party or corporation outbid them at the
sale, lie did not know, however, that
any bids would come from any other
quarter.
Our Tour Over the County.
Having lived to the age of near
three score and ten years, aud not be
ing able to work now as in days of
yore, I want to put all the little boys
aud girls on notice throughout tbe
county that the old mao is calculating
on goiug all over the county to teach
tbe little boys aud little girls an in
structive lesson, which if properly re
gadrea, will be of material benefit to
them. It will be little boys and little
girls that I propose to teach a grand
and instructive lesson, that but few of
the older boys and girls have ever
learned.
It is our intention to visit every
school throughout the county, after
they become fairly under headway, aud
during some favorable opportunity 1
shall ask the teacher to faver me with
the privilege of making a short talk to
the children of the school. The les
son that I propose to teach them is
one outside of the ordinary lessons usu
ally taught in the common literary
schools. I want to learn the little buys
how to make for themselves a vast
number of good reliable friends, aud
where their fathers have only one good
aud true friend, I want to learn the
little boys hour they may make and
have forty friends. That will be a
good lesson, wou’t it boys ?—learn how
io make a Lost of reliable friends, with
scarcely an enemy.
You will hear from the old man again
when he starts out on his grand mis
siou. 1 want your teachers to put you
ali ou notice of the comrng of the old
man, with his lesson of instruction for
the noble, manly little boys of old
Henry. And by tbe way, 1 want to teli
he lovely, nice little girls, the uld man
has a grand lesson to learn them. You
will hear from me again before long.
Of course your kind teacher will not
neglect to inform you when you may
expect to see tbe old man in your
presence
Good bye now, children. Be good
boys, and good girls until I meet with
you iu your school room

Senator A. O. I? icon return'd to
Washington Saturday afternoon, and
Congressman C. L. Bartlett left yes
terdav morning. Unless Bob Berner,
of Monroe, opposes Mr. Btrtlett the
gentleman from Bibb will probably
have no opposition for reDominatiou
for cougress fiom the Sixth district
this year. No one seems to know
what are the political intentions of Mr.
Berner. It has been intimated in some
quarters that Judge John L. Harde
man, of Bibb, would oppose Mr. Bart
lett, but persons intimately acquainted
with Judge Hardeman say he has no
such intentions, aud in resigning from
the Macon superior court bench to take
effect on Jauuary 12th, his sole inten
tion is, for the preseut, at least, to de
vote himself exclusively to the practice
•if law. In the judiciary and in poli
tics Mr. Hardemau has tracked Mr.
Bartlett very closely. Mr. Hardemau
followed Mr. Bartlett to the legislature
and Hardeman succeeded Bartlett as
solicitor general of the Macon circuit,
and when Bartlett resigned as judge of
the Macon circuit Hardeman became
bis successor. Will Hardeman succeed
Bartlett in congress ? No doubt Harde
man would like to follow in the foot
steps of his late distinguished father,
Tom Hardeman, Jr , aud be a member

No one ever thought of introducing
30 expensive a feature as lithographic
color work in the days when the lead
ing magazines sold for $4.00 a year
and 35 cents a copy. But times
chaDge, and the magazines change with
them. It has remained for The Cos
mopolitan, sold at one dollar a year, to
put in an extensive lithographic plant
capable of printing 320,00 pages per
day (one color). The January issue
presents as a frontispiece a water color
drawing by Eric Pope, illustrating the
last story by Robert Louis Stevenson,
which has probably never been excell
ed even in the pages of the finest dol

The Cosmopolitan is also changed, a
drawing of page length by the famous
Paris artii-t Rossi, in lithographic col
ors ou white paper takes the place of
the manilla back with its red stripe.

“Are you going back aioue?”
“That’s what the matter. We were

when we got here, but iu about au hour
we had a fuss. She wanted a diamond
ring, and I couldn’t buy it. Diamoud!

No Worse Fate.
Mr. Folsom, one of the brightest
aud most versatile editors on the Geor
gta Press in the Rome Tribune says:
I know of no worse fate for a man
than to become a common drunkard.
I don’t care what may bo his posiiiou
in society. He may be upheld by nil
the supports of birth, breeding, wealth
aud accomplishments, but he if he tie a
man of any sensibilities, must feel that
he is simply tolerated more than ex
pected. There are certain virtues that
no disaster car. dim, hut their luster
glows pathetically through the shadows
of iutemperauce. Of all the vices of
poor weak mortality nothing exceeds
the curse of drunkenness in its damna
ble iufiueuces.
The holiday season is at baud. The
season of mirth and joy and revelry.
The time of trial to thousands of brave
spirits. It is one of the treasured bar
barisms of our boasted civil izatiou to
indulge in all sorts of excesses over
the anniversary of the advent of the
Prince of Peace. To observe the man
ner in which we celebrate Christmap,
McOaulay’s South Sea Islanders
would imigine that lie was the priuce
of devils. And yet; there is more pure
joy in the contemplation of the pleas
ores with a bright eyed child with a
cheap toy, than in all the neb vintage
of the champagne volleys of Auvergne.
Many a little stocking will be empty
because its father’s head is filled with
the maddening fires of hell. Many a
little foot will be stockingless because
its natural provider chooses to spend
his mouey for the luxury of a season
of insanity. Oh, it is damnable! It
hurts me to contemplate the vast
amount of sadness and sorrow that are
the results of that accursed, unnatural
vice.
The Thomasville Times-Euterprise
thinks the legislature is passing too
many bills. It says: ‘‘The poor old
code of Georgia emei ges from the pres
ent session of the Georgia legislature
in a muchly mutilated condition Its
most intimate friends and acquaintan
ces would fail to recognize it in the
road. The lawyers can scarcely keep
up with the changes and ySf the eiti
zen (maybe he can’t read) is expected
to track the law. The fact is, we ut e l
fewer and simpler laws. There is too
much red tape, too many ‘whereases’
and ‘wherefores’ for the average ciii
zen to keep up with the endless proces
sion of changes They are confusing.

Terrors of a Polar Night.
Constantin Nossiloff, reporting in
“La [Vur du Monde” bis scientific
researches in Nova Z mhle, furnishes
in interesting description of bis sensa
tions and experiences during the long
arctic night which began in November
and ended January 20 September
was pretty comfortable, be says. Then
suddenly snow covered tbe mountains.
The vSainoyedes, his only companions,
put ou their winter clothing, the fish
boats set sail for Archangel, the ground
froz“, the sun lost its warmth and
heavy snow fell. Winter had come in
earnest. Ou the day when the sun
showed itself for the last time all hands
went out of doors to bid it farewell.
It remained in sight for half an hour
only. For a few days longer there
was a morning twiMght. Then this
laded and gave place to black night.
The stars shone the whole twenty four
hours The huts of the colony were
buried under the snow, of which thick
whirl winds filled the air. The wind
shook the huts to their foundation,
some times for days together the in
mates of different huts could hold uo
communication with each other, though
the huts were side by side. If any
one went out he was seized by the
wind aud had to be dragged back by
means of ropes.
In this da kuess and desolation the
aurora burealiß did much to eutertsm
aud cheer them. It lasted sometimes
tor five days in succession, with splen
dor of color that Mr. Nossiloff tries
iu vaiu to describe. To enjoy the
spectacle he used to remain for hours
iu a hole iu the suow sheltered from
the wind.
_ ‘T have never seen anything more
terrible than a tempest during the po
lar night,” says Nossiloff. “Man feels
himself overwhelm' d iu immensity.”
When there catne a lull in the storm
the men veutured out to breathe the
air and purge their lungs of the ex
halations of the smoking lamps fed
with seal oil.”
Twilight appeared agaiu in the mid
dle of January and on the 20th the
sun rose above the horizon, while the
members of-the Tittle cob >ny stood in
line facing it and fired a salute. No
one had died or been seriously ill, but
all had tbe look of corpses and were as
feeble as convalescents alter a long
sickness. Health returned with the
return of the sun.—Youth’s Com

ABSOLUTELY PURE
The Blontl Brenkman’s Story.
The Railroad Club met Tuesday eve
ning iu the usual place, aud after a
short business session the boys dritteu
into “shop” conversation. The recent
fast run of the general manager’s spec
ial from Hope to Missou'a was com
mented on, and the talk on fast runs
became general. Several stories of
remarkable time made on different oc
casions were related, and when the
blond breakman got the floor he saw
he was expected to break the record.
And he did.
“Speaking of fast runs,” said ho,
“why, that little Montaua Union Line
lays over anything I ever saw. No
dutch clocks or anything else to hold
a man down there. 1 worked for that
road when Boh Smith was dispatcher,
and when he told the hoys to 'wheel
’em’ we all knew what it meant. One
day we were going north and were de
layed in vaiious ways until wo reached
Stewart. Bob wired the con at that
point that he wanted our train to got
to Garrison just as quick as God
won't! let us. We had a clear track
when we started and wasn’t long be
fore the telegraph poles looked like a
picket fense. The biggest hurst of
speed was reserved for the home stretch
—from Deer Lodge to Garrison, elev
en miies. We didu’t stop at Deer
Lodge, but as wo approached that
[ilace the engineer sounded the whistle
us usual—and you may take my head
for a foot ball if the “Slow” sign in
the Garrison yards wasn’t passed by
our train before that whittle had ceased
to sound.”
This made the boys look weary, but
tbe “braky” hadu’t finished yet. He
continued :
“Well, we put our train away and
were when we glanc
ed up the truck and saw a dark streak
approaching at a lightling gait. We
were astounded for an instant, but as it
slowed up we readily recognized it as
the shadow of the train wo had just
brought iu.”
And the hoys all rose up, and after
presenting the relator with a regularly
signed license the club adjourned.—

A Judge’s Wit.
Some years ago there lived in Ala
bama a judge who was noted for the
sarcasm which he dispensed during the
administration of justice. On the oc
casion a young man was tried for steal
ing a pocket book. The next case
was for murder. The evidence in the
larceny case was Blight, but the other
seemed to tho judge conclusive. To
his amazement and wrath, however,
the jury convicted tho young man and
acquitted the murderer. In passing
sentence upon the convicted thief, after
the discharge of the other prisoners,
the judge said, “Young man, you have
not been in this country long?” “No,
your honor,” replied the prisoner.
“I thought not," said the judge. “You
don’t know these people. You may
kill them, but don't touch their pockec
hooks.”
On another occasion, when the evi
dence seemed to point conclusively to
the prisoner’s guilt, but when the judge,
from long experience, distrusted the
jurymen’s wisdom, the council for the
defendant said, “It is hotter that Oil
guilty petsons should escape than that
one innocent man should sufTer.” In
bis charge to the jury the judge aduitted
the soundness of this proposition, but
he added impressively and severely,
“Gentlemen, I want you to hear in
mind that 91) have already escaped.”
