LEVY, BRO. & CO., Southern Hotel Building, Waycross, Ga Brunswick Kicks. We sympathize. with Brunswick in her trouble with the East Tennessee railway. The Times of yesterday has this to say: The Fast Tennessee railroad has changed its schedules so that Brunswick is left with but three freight trains over that line, each way, a week. Hereto fore we have had a daily train in and one out, but now we are left with tri weekly freights and the business men generally rose up and made a grand kick yesterday. They say there must be a change. The schedule, as it now stands, works greatly against our business in terests. A car of freight, it it does not happen to leave Macon at a certain hour, is on the road from four to five days before reaching here. Brunswick’s wholesale men in filling orders up the road are at a great disad vantage. The board of trade will promptly take the matter in hand, and the Times will use every effort in assisting that body to secure a more satisfactory freight ser vice. Bright Spring Days.

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 wemeu 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 The Wrong Tnrn. Among the many stories told of ab sent minded people, there is one about the dreamy mother of a young American which is well authenticated, but seems almost incredible. One evening when her son stopped at the door of her room on the way to his own, to deliver a message that had been sent her, he discovered the old lady in the pitchy darkness holding a match under the cold water faucet. When she “came to herself,” in re sponse to her son’s hearty laugh, she admitted that she had lighted five other matches and treated them in the same The countiy editor riseth in the morn ing and knoweth not what the day may bring.

No efforts have been made to close the break up to to-night. The water on the bayou has fallen six inches in consequence of the leak. The track of the Southern Pacific runs along the bayou near this point, but is high graded and in no danger. Another leak occur red at Brooks’ mill, in the southeast corner of Arkansas, about three miles below the previous break.

Norton, the well known truck farmer of Boston, Ga., is reported as having “forty acres in Irish potatoes from which he expects to gather 1,200 barrels of potatoes, or say that he allows three bushels to the barrel, making 3,600 bushels. It is safe to say he will realize $2,00 per barrel, thus making the total reach $2,400 from 40 acres of land, and that in potatoes.” Mr. Norton’s success in growing cab bage, beans, and other vegetables for the Northern markets has been phenomenal; but it show’s what energy and intelli gent culture can accomplish.
