The Georgia colonels in Washing ton arc as thick as flies. lienny H. will soon be making tracks towards the sunset. Railroad building is making a real estate boom in Jerusalem. Hawaii must wait awhile and come to the table with tbc children. Congress as usual is very much behind witli the appropriation bills. Pennsylvania has a law making it a misdemeanor to qboot a bird ex cept while on the wing. Were such a 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 ever makes money without advertis 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 vorce on the grounds that his wife will not support him. Surely the cause is sufficient. It is said that Wauumaker dropped 8900,000 in Reading. He will have to sell several suits of cheap cloth ing to niake up the loss. . 4 Tom Reed is a ease of the survival of tbc uofittest. It is said that be is raising a row because Mr. Cleveland didn't give him 1 .* place in his cabi net. Julia Force who killed her two sis ters in Atlanta is crazy without doubt. Hcr diary plainly shows this and her crime is too unnatural to be commit ted by a sane woman. 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 being wasted or stolen. 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. The Haw&iian treaty will be turn ed over to the next congress for ac tion. A correspondent thinks that it Jay Gonld bad lived as long as Vander bilt he would have been worth *600,- 000,0P0. Suppose, jost for the sake of argument, he had lived as long as Metboselab. An attempt was made a few days since to assinate John W. Mackey, the millionaire, at San Francisco. His assailant was an old man named Bippar who was doubtless insane. After shooting Mackey, Bippay killed bimaclf. The United States rank seventh as • naval power. Bnt when we annex Hawaii we shall bave in addition tbe “chartered navy" of the Provisional ‘Government, which consists of one Teasel, a veritable tag of war. LOCAL INFORMATION.

The iiKUAl.lt is ready, waiting and ishing for the proper time to arrive when we can issue a daily evening pa per in Waycross, without financial risk.

We desire first to, place the weekly on n firm and paying basis and then we will talk to you about the daily. The time may come sooner than We tiiink. 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 News. A committee of railroad representa tives of Georgia appeared before the Georgia Railroad commission aud begged the privilege of increasing freight and passenger rates, claiming that the roads arc not earning running expenses, under the arbitrary Georgia laws and excessive taxation, and are liable to go into bank ruptcy without the privilege of higher rates is granted. The commission has made no decision in the matter yet. The recent crimes, suicides, murders and scnaational developments of the past week in Atlanta have had the inevitable effect Sam Jones, assisted by Steward A. Hatch., will commence a mammoth revival meeting in this city, commenc ing March 18th. Services will last twenty days, and a special auditorium, to contain 20,000 people, will be built for the purpose. Every minister in At lanta, it is said, will assist in the revival services.

A little child came very near being seriously injured by a cow on Gilmore street last Wednesday. Houses for rent are scarce in Way- cross. This argues well for the pros perity of the city.

Oats, Chickens. 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. If tbe one is a rogue for pretending to sell counterfeit money, the other is no lets a rogue tor his willingness to purchase it.

Japan ese Pile Cure is guaranteed to cure you by B. J. Smith.

Quite a crowd of northern people who were laying over in Waycross for a few hours on Monday last, passing the time pleasantly strolling down Glenmore street. Some of them declared it was the finest street to walk on they had ever seen. We again call the attention of our city fathers to the condition of that por tion of the side walk on Plant avenue, below the B. A W. R. R. crowing. A slight rain makes it almost impassible.
