Several of Atlanta's mail carriers delivering their mail on bicycles. The remains of Jefferson Davis are on their way from New Orleans to Richmond Va. The Sparta Ishinaelitc calls Chica go and the Worlds Fair, the “Babyl onian festivities.” True freedom is that liberty which allows a man to do as lie ought. Most men in this country enjoy it. The whole Missippi V r alley, from Oairo to New Orleans, is threatened with the most disastrous overflow in its history. Mr. Blount has been chosen to suc ceed Minister Stevens at Ilondolulu and the leglegation will be turned over to him at once. Paderewski has sailed for London, being about §1(10,000 better off for pawing t e ivory a few months in the United States. It has been decided that the Pres ident must, have some rest and the doors of the White House are closed against office seekers. A good digestion will not always make a man happy.

No better man could have been found in Georgia for the posi tion. Secretary Carlisle has issued special instructions of vigilance to collectors of the Atlantic coast to prevent the shipment of war mater ial into Cuba, at the request #f the Spanish government. Steve Ryan is not yet out of the woods it seems, and may have to give up $78,000 or go back to jail for an indeflnate period under the rule -against him for contempt. In the •meantime he can proceed to knock •the Boston drummer out a few more times. The phosphate mines in and around Ft. White, Fla., are proving to be the best in the state. The Constitution has a special from Macon headed “Editors and Water.” What incongruity!—Albany Herald.

Long cotton has been found growing wild near Tampa, Fla. Florida is a great state. A negro named Heard jumped off’ an excursion train at Athens yesterday and his head was crushed. A store was burned in Brunswick night before last. The fire was caused by the explosion of a kerosene lamp. The Christians arc organizing in Al bany to fight sin. It is claimed that the city is growing worse. Sun spots 100,000 miles in- diameter have been measuied, large enough to hold a dozen such worlds as ours. Geologists consider kerosene to be ani mal oil: Hence what we burn in lamps is the remains of long extinct monsters. Steve Ryan has knocked the Boston drummer out again. Ryan is making himself disgusting by over doing the business. A Minnesota man has been lynched for criminally assaulting two little girls five and six years of age. He ought to have been burned. Jacksonville has a gang of small col ored foot pads who hold up the white news boys and empty their pockets of their surplus pennies. Republicanism holds its grip in De land, Fla.

While the entire press of the state ap proves Governor Northen’s determina tion to break up the white cap business, the offense of rape will continue to be treated in the unique manner of rapid suppression.—Brunswick Advertiser. The Way cross correspondent of the Macon Telegraph may be short on news sometimes, but he seems to have an in exhaustible supply of strange phenom ena and wild beast stories. Bet two to one he’s a good fisherman.—Albany In cutting the string that has so long allowed Wall Street speculators to dictate the financial policy of the United States, Secretary Carlisle lias gained the admiratiou of three- fourths of the people. The country has long needed such a >ecretary of .the treawry as John G. Carlisle. Promptness is one of President Cleveland's best traits. He hurt his head getting into the carriage which was to take him to the reviewing stand on Broadway, New York, but he would only consent to a delay of ten minutes for dressing the wound. On the other hand those in charge of the procession were so dilatory that, after waiting for nearly an hour, the President was forced to leave for Chicago.—San Francisco Chronicle. Nearly every freight train going into Chicago carries messenger boys who have thrown up their jobs in the various cities of the country and made for the world’s fair city in hopes of getting rich. In some cities the telegraph companies Shave been forced to hire men. Just like all the other good conserva tive and thinking people of the state, the Hustler of Rome says: This con tinued rain is hurting the cotton, thank the Lord! And the more hurt, the more thanks! worthy of the best efforts of the late i lamented Billings himself. The question of woman’s suffrage j seems to be a very live one at present ! and its advocates are rapidly gaining j ground. Thank heaven the craze is j confined to the north and west, and has not yet struck the south.

The senior member of the firm is an old hand at politics, and will be glad to see his friends at the old stand, where he has been beating tan bark for several years. The new member is a promising disciple and will do most of the talking. —Albany Herald. To illustrate the tremendous influ ence that the Floridian has over this legislature it is only necessary to state that its advocacy of a measure to protect Florida sheep against Florida dogs has resulted in a law to protect Florida dogs against the unreasonable opposition of Florida sheep raisers. Oh, we are*a power in the land, we are! We are so disgusted that we would walk around three blocks just to kick a sheep. No animal without claws is entitled to any consideration—Floridian. Ladies, if you want a pure, delicate soap for the (complexion, B. J. Smitn, druggist, will always recommend John son’s Oriental Medicinal Toilet Soap. Henry G. Turner. If Henry G. Turner would accept of the nomination for governor, the Ish- maelite would be perfectly willing for him to have it. Let South Georgia agree upon a strong, good man and walk right up to the office and take it.— Sparta Ishmaelite. If Henry G. Turner desires or will ac cept any other office than he now holds, Georgia should be willing to give it to him, even to the exclusion of the “com ing men” or those “that are come.” As a senator he would be the peer of Stephens, Toombs and Hill. His mas ter mind could grapple with gigantic problems, and win fresh laurels for self and state, name and nation. He is the logical candidate, for we need a few statesmen at the capital to balance the fiith rate ward political demagogues that now wear senatorial togas. He Hon.

The report is in circulation that the Plant system has obtained control of the Florida Midland, a short road in Orange and Osceola counties, Fla., with head quarters at Kissimmee. The people of that section are to be congratulated. In almost every neighborhood through out the west there are some one or more persons whose lives have been saved by Chamberlain’s Colic Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy, or who have been cured of chronic diarrhoea by it. Such per sons take especial pleasure in recom mending the Remedy to others.

Editor : I understand you have been inviting correspondence on general topics, con densed and classified in short paragraphs strictly on one side of the paper, non partisan in effect, free from the restraints j of rhetorical display and absolutely un- j biased in matters of public opinion or j the education of the masses, *.in other ] words agricultural literature pure and ' simple. If this is true, and you recog- ' nize in me the requirements of an offi- ; cial scribe armed and equipped as the law ; directs, I will furnish you regularly | daily or weekly periodical effusions from J this historical vantage ground. j Kettle Creek, “that is my neighbors” I are enthusiastic in their desire to have | their interests brought squarely before : the public through the medium of your paper and request me to mention the fact of my election by them to the posi tion of official correspondent at the min- tum rate of five cents per line. I merely mention these preliminaries as a guaran tee of good faith, which I am told is in dispensable in matters of this kind, and should be husbanded with (the fondest hopes and purest endeavors eminating from an experience ripe with rich spark ling effusions of great minds from an agrarian standpoint. While serving you in this capacity I shall earnestly endeavor to precipitate all the blessings on Kettle Creek in com mon with other equally as fair and favored spots as the surroundings will admit for the benefit of posterity unprej udiced by the requirements of free trade or affiliation in the bounties growing out of the unlimited coinage of silver. Refering by general consent to these topics of passing intereet I cannot sup press a desire to map out the sentiment prevalent at this juncture in relation to the popular idea of free trade. Free trade in all its most profound ramifica tions presents a theme fraught in the main w-ith maximum blessings at mini mum rates to the actual consumer, al ways, however, inseparable by reason of the relations sustained by the theories of supply and demand, from unlimited coinage of silver. Now-, unlimited coin age as defined by Squire Smith, means possession, summed up as uinc points in the law, hence, as a rule, the majority out here, favor it or demand something better. Crops are just budding into the ver nal beauty of an early Spring growth. Education, society pleasure and politics will receive formal mention in the course of this correspondence, all of which mix and mingle with the ordina ry in the current of events. Bill Krufp. Bright Spring Days. The spring should be pre-eminently a season of contentment, happiness and hope. In these bright and pleasant months the country should enjoy its highest degree of tranquility and pros perity. But spring, it is well known, is often a period of discomfort and dis turbance in the physical system. Im portant organs of the body become tor pid or irregular in their action, and the fact is instantly reflected in the mental condition of the individual. A disorder ed liver means disordered nerves and a dull and unsteady brain. Anything which will bring the physical system into harmony with budding Nature con fers an- enormous benefit upon the na tion, besides the mere allaying of physi cal discomfort. Hood’s Sarsaparilla does this, as thousands of grateful men and wonieu can testify, and increased use of this standard spring medicine is of more real practical importance in pro moting health and quiet in the business world than reams of abstract theorizing. A Marriage in High Life. Mr. W. T. Lawrence was married to Miss Mary Sills this morning in Green’s shoe shop in the city of Waycross, Judge Burrel Sweat officiating. Two souls were made happy and even the old soles laying around loose seemed to en joy the proceedings. La Grippe. During the prevalence of the Grippe the past season it was a noticeable fact that those who depended upon Dr. King’s New Discovery not only had a speedy recovery, but escaped all the troublesome after effects of the malady. This remedy seems to have a peculiar power in affecting rapid cures not only eases of La Grippe, but in all Diseases of Throat, Chest and Lungs, and has cured cases os Asthma and Hay Fever of long standing.

The young men are taking much more interest in the organization of our fire department than the older heads. Some of these days you will see the finest truck farms in the neighborhood of Waycross to be found in the State. If ye would that others should take an interest in your town show them that you are interested yourself. The cool nights are making the little garden truck look mighty sick, and the cut worms are having a picnic. Forbearance sometimes ceases to be be a virtue. A fellow may stir up a hornet’s nest when he least expects it. The worlds fair is not affecting to aiiy perceptible extent the Wayx boom. The people come and go all the time. More stores more goods, more goods more people, more people more money, more money—ah, there’s the rub.
