Pennsylvania has a law making it

law in force in Georgia, the birds
would be safe in the neighborhood of
Waycross.
When President Harrison wss in
augurated there was *94,000,000 free
gold in the treasury. To-day there
is but *3,700,000. Mr. Harrison
seems to have feared that some crank
might consider Uncle Sam too much
of a “gold bug” and shoot him.
The great battle ship Indiana was
successfully launched at the shipyard
of the William Cramp & Sons com
pany, on Tuesday last. Thousands
of people were present, among them
tho president of the United States,
secretary of the navy and ,other offi
cers of the cabinet.
It is said that Edison’s display at
tbc World’s fair will be wonderful.
Adlai’s little axe will be kept very
busy during tiic next few months.
There arc rumors that Mr. Plant
may buy out the F. C. und P. road.
Not more than one roan in twenty

ing.
A white woman was burned in
Michigan recently for being possessed
of a devil.
There was no hocus pokus about
it, Hoke got his appointment straight
from the shoulder.
Henry F. Tliurber, of Detroit, has
been selected by Mr. Cleveland as
liis private secretary.
It is rumored that the Evening
Journal and Herald, of Atlanta, will
be consolidated, with Joe Carter as
manager.
No man living can say that lie
named Mr. Cleveland's cabinet this
time. It is a surprise party from
beginning to end.
A cat fish weighing over three hun
dred pounds was recently captured on
the lower Mississippi. It is the lar
gest one on record.
A Texas man lias applied for a di

Surely the cause is sufficient.
It is said that Wauumaker dropped

The enemies of the Panama canal
charged that its promoters raised
*285,000,000, and spent only 880,-
4)00,000 for actual work, the balance

The inauguration of Grover Cleve
land is to be a little ahead of that of
Thomas Jefferson, who rode up to the
capitol on his old roan horse and
made simplicity conspicious. But
there’s a good big modern gap be
tween Jefferson and Cleveland. The
old roan horse is out of date now.
The movement in Canada to tax
bachelors in order to reduce their
number provoked only flippant com
ment at first, but is now beginning
to arouse serious attention. Several
influential papers have taken up the
matter, aud it is stated that the
Quebec Government lias made tbe
matter a subject of grave considera
tion. A similar social condition ex
ists in several of the newer Western
States, but in these cases arises from
what is termed a “girl famine,” and
not from any disinclination of tbe
masculine element to wedlock.
“Barkis is willin’,” but tbe supply of
Pcggottvs is insufficient.—New York
Press.
Iilarksbear is to IIstp a Cannery,
We are informed that Blackshcar
is to have a canning factory in the
near future. This is a long felt want
or rather a need in our community,
as there is no home market for our
vast surplus fruit and vegetables, to
say nothing of wbat could be made,
and to ship them is so hazardous as
to involve a pecuniary loss to fanners
On tbc contrary, if there was a good
cannery bcrc it would bring a large
revenue to them for their labor and
encourage them to grow more vege
tables, and renew their interest in
fruit culture. — Blackshear Times.
Blackshcar is taking a step in the
right direction and Waycross should
follow suit at once. Tbe expense of
inaugurating such an enterprise is not
great, and Waycross has a big ad
vantage over any other place in sooth
Georgia. From this point we can
ship in any direction and at living
rates. Quantities of fruit are wasted
every year, that might be utilized if
we had a cannery. Who will be the
first enterprising citizen to take hold
of this matter?
A. Gates has tlesigned an elevated
railroad to run from Philadelphia to
New York, to be built and controlled
by eastern capitalists. The model
represents a car suspended from an
overhead track and propelled by elec
tricity. It hangs twenty feet above
the earth. The journey from New
York to Philadelphia, it is claimed,
can be made in little more than half
an boar. Mr. Gates expects to build
this eastern line and send the first
train over the mid-air track within
year.
Lively Times Ahead la Georgia.
The Colnmbus Enquirer-Sun, dis
cussing the possibilities In the sena
torial race, has tbe following:
“If he recovers bis health. Senator
Colquitt will'hardly resign the- prize
without a desperate struggle to retain
it. Governor Nortben’s friends are
already talking to him in connection
with the senatorship, and while noth-
ing has been beard trom the governor
on the subject, if it develops that he
has aspirations in that direction no
body will be surprised. Another
name prominently mentioned is that
of Speaker Crisp. No intimation of
his intentions have been given to tbe
public, but it is not unlikely that he
would be willing to leave the speaker's
chair of the fifty-third congress for a
seat in the United States senate from
Georgia. If the entries should be
DuBignon, Northen and Crisp, as
some shrewd politicians appear to
think, it will be a battle of giants, and
Georgia will be involved in a senato
rial campaign such os has not been
witnessed in many years.”
Wait until Bacon, DuBignon,
Blount, Turner, Atkinson, Clay,
Black, and a few others enter the race
and you will sec lively times in Geor
gy.

That Atlanta Redwinc is a sparkling,
intoxicating success, in one sense. There
is probably no crook in the country who
conld have made a neater job of reliev--
ing the Gate City bank of its funds than
he did. The cleverest part of the oper
ation was his sleight-of-hand performance
the *50,000 package after he had been
discovered in other crookedness and
summoned to the president’s presence.
The story of Redwine's cleverness is
enough to make all the living Daltons
turn green with envy. He is far too
clever to be left at large; he might slip
away with the Atlanta police.—Morning

A committee of railroad representa

made no decision in the matter yet.

Once in a great while evil-doers
have attributive justice meted out to
them with lightning rapidity. The
shooting of a “green goods*’ man
lately at Buffalo, by one of his vic
tims, put a decisive stop to the furth
er prosecution of this remunerative
business by the dealer in question;
but it is doubtful if it will have any
appreciable effect on tbe diminution
of the industry. A decrease in the
number of tools who do not read the
newspapers, is the only thing that
will bring tbe occupation of the
“green goods’* man to an end. In
regard to the shooting case, there la
not little to choose between the
swindler and the man he swindled.
