A femaie thug was recently locked in New York for highway robbery. Tbe New York Herald bas not been sold, as wa9 reported. San Francisco bad an earthquake shake on the 20th inst. The excitement in Brunswick bas subsided and tbe grand'old city is as serene and hopeful as ever. If the nihilists should conclude to explode a few bombs in Chicago wouldn’t there be hustling. Fulton county bas voted against issuing bonds to build a new court house, jail and reformatory. The fight for home rule for Ire land still goes on in the British par liament. Hon. Reuben Mobley, of Hamil ton, Harris connly, is another candi date for Mr. Buck’s place. Chicago now only needs the Blar ney stone to make its exhibits com plete. Tbe last Cuban revolution bas had the flattest fall of any of its prede cessors. The children of the man who sells bis soul for gold generally refund tbe money. China will doubtless retaliate in the matter of deporting aliens. The missionary will have to bustle. The Alexander H. Stephens mon ument is to be unveiled at bis old home at Crawfortlsville to-morrow. •Spinal meningitis is epidemic in New York city. Not since 1872 has this happened before. Tbe estimated population of Scot land is something over four millions, the females predominating. The crop of gubernatorial candi dates in Georgia needs chopping out badly. Space is reserved in these columns for the next Atlanta sensation. What will it be ? Georgia is not only the empire State of the South but she has more umpires than any other State. Henry Waterson will deliver the address at the semi-centennial com mencement of the Southern Female College at LaGrange this year. Two banks in Minnesota went un der yesterday. It seems that the epidemic is not confined to any locality. Henry Turner for the Senate, and there be will surely go. He deserves tbe toga, put it on him, Georgians. Kastman Times. There are too many people who expect a misfortune brought on them- selves to be repealed by an act of Congress—Ex. A negro woman named Lot Mont gomery. committed suicide in Atlan ta on Friday night last by taking laudnum. Bandits attacked the Sante Fee passenger train at Ponca Saturday morning but were driven off by Fed eral troops who were on board. Every woman in the south should be taught tbe use of the pistol and the breech-loading shot gun, and be able to nse it qnickly and effectually. Tbe Supreme conrt may pronounce the Chinese exclusion bill as consti tutional, but it will never be en forced. “Eulalia,” Mr. Dana says, is pro nounced as if it were written, “Ah- oo-lah-lee-ab.” Remember this, you may need it. Tbe Fulton county Grand Jury bas found two true bills against Hill, tbe forger. The next best thing they could do would be to find Hill. Mr. S. Mayer, surviving partner of the'firm of Mayer & Ullman and father-in-law of Mr. Ullman, has written a very pathetic letter to the creditors of the late firm. A Southerner bas captured first honors as valedictorian at Yale. The South continues to come to the front in fine style. Tbe World’s Fair buildings will be open to tbe public next Sunday unless legal steps are taken to pre vent it. Col. James R. Randall, author of Maryland my Maryland, will be giv en a place under the secretary of the Senate. Fraudulent and forged Chinese registration tickets are beginning to come into the revenue officials on the Pacific coast. There should be no excuse for ousting tbe republican office holders, except that it is necessary to make room for democrats. The Atlanta Constitution bas made many a hard fight in its day, but its charge on boss Buck [deserves to be commemorated in verse and story. The three greatest things on earth are the Chicago Fair, the price of board in Chicago and the feet of Chicago women. In view of the fact that missionary work is sorely needed in Georgia, deporting the American missionaries in China may not be so bad after all. It is asserted that Mr. Cleveland will use his influence for Mr. Crisp for Speaker when Congress meets in extra session. The facilities of escape from the consequences of crime afforded by our tardy and insufficient criminal laws, beget crime. Mr. Lease ought to be delighted at Mrs. Lease’s efforts in tbe direc tion of a national peace society. The babies are supposed to have worried him fearfully the past year. It is said that Lon Livingston is Hoke Smith’spetaversion. Mr. Smith should not allow his personal animos ities to cause him to meddle with matters that do not concern him. Tbomasville is greatly stirred np recently in regard to religious mat ters. Revival meetings have been held in the Methodist and Baptist churches and numbers have joined. In sawing a log at Beaver Dam mills, Burke county, a snake was found in a knot bole, which, when the tree was standing was fifty-two feet from the ground. The Atlanta Herald complains, and it would seem with cause, that the At lanta police are too slow to arrest the rich and prominent who have com mitted crime. An effort is being made in Wash ington to heal the breech between Livingston and Smith. We do not specially admire Livingston, bntour opinion is that this time be is right. A popular Kentucky souvenir spoon represents a race track, statue of Mary Anderson and a bar rel of whiskey entwined with tobac co leaves. But where is the rope. Augusta Chronicle. Says the Augusta Chronicle: Col ored photography is being perfected in France, so there is yet hope of obtaining a correct likeness of love’s young dream of a sailor’s oath. A terrific bail and rain storm ac companied by high winds passed over Western Pennsylvania on the 20th inst. Tbe loss amounts to $1,000,000. There bas been some question as to who was the youngest man in the next Congress, but it has been de termined in favor of Thomas Settle of North Carolina, aged 28. This, will, of coarse, settle it. The inhumanity of tbe Chinese ex clusion act is fast dawning upon the country. The framers of onr consti tution did not intend anything of the kind, and we do not believe it will ever become a law. It is a beautiful spectacle to behold the Brunswick Times cheering the people of that city in their adversity. Without its newspapers tbe condition of Brunswick, or any other city for that matter, would be deplorable. Present investigation shows that very little progress has been made in educating and christianizing the Indi ans of South Florida. They adhere to their original ideas, and though not hostile, they are savages still. The information that since the be ginning of the present administration $6,000 a month has been saved in tbe running expenses of the census bureau will make tax payers regret that tbe administration had not begun four years earlier. This ic a year in which the Amer ican citizen may well be glad that he lives. Tbe Democratic party is in power and the Chicago exposition is in full blast. Tbe recent action of Mr. Cleveland in regard to the Conyus post office, indicates plainly that matters of a similar nature in the state are to be left for the members of congress to decide. George Gould has startled New York by announcing that he means to live to enjoy life.—Savannah News. This announcement from a Gould is almost as startling as if he bad said he intended to make others en joy life. To the refusal of the railroads to grant advantageous rates to peo ple desiring to visit the World’s Fair is attributed the small attendance thus far at that great and wonderful exposition. The threat of the Chinese govern ment to return the American contin gent in that country would seem to BURIAL OF IB. MAX ULLMAN. Albany Daily Herald, May 20th: The special train from Brunswick, bear ing the remains ofMr. Max Ullman, who suicided in that city last Thursday, arrived at the depot in this city yester day afternoon at 8:30 o’clock. The remains were accompanied by a delegation of Knights of Pvthis and of B’nai Berth, of Brunswick, from among whom the pall bearers were selected. At the depot they were met by another delegation from the same orders of this city. Forming a procession there, which was a long one, the sad and solem march to the cemetery was taken up. At the grave the Jewish rites were conducted by Rabbi Ribeno of Bruns wick and Rabbi C’ha«. Wessolowsky of this city, after which appropriate honors were conferred by the K. of P. and the O. B. B. Then all that was flesh of Max Ull- man, w hose sad demise had touched the hearts of the people of the whole State, was laid to rest beside the graves of his indicate that China is impressed with | two little slaughters, who laid gone be- the idea that the Americans in the ; fore.

It is said that a woman has a wash-pot which was turned inside out by a cyclone, and is still using it. The only trouble, she says, is that the legs and handles are on the inside and bother her when she “stirs the clothes. ” Nest. The convict lease system ceased to exist in Arkansas last Saturday night. The state at that time took charge of tbe penitentiary and 750 convicts. The lease system had been in force the early days of reconstruction, but the change was made without inci dent or friction. When it is known that during the last 50 years more than 9,000,000 people have emigrated from England, of whom 10 per cent have returned, we are not surprised to learn that one-fourth of the land surface of the globe is occupied by English speak ing people. On the whole, it is fortunate that the government has not the money with which to pay for catching the Chinese and sending them back to Flowery Kingdom. The lack of it gives time for sober second thought. —Tampa Tribune. The Charleston News sizes the situation up, briefly but truthfully, as follows: “Getout !” says Uncle Sam. “Put me out!” retorts John Chinaman, and Undo Sam scratches his head and admits for once that he is beaten. Deporting the Chinese is easier said than done. Sam Small will compare Atlanta to Sodom of old in a lecture to be delivered in Atlanta next Sunday. The adage concerning people and glass houses might cause Sam Small to stop his sensational and unwarran ted attacks upon Southern social life.—Macon News. Secretary Hoke Smith once took lessons in elocution from Murdock, the actor who died recently.—Macon News. He is now taking lessons from Liv ingston which plainly come under the head of “common courtesy in the fair division of political spoils.” There is no further doubt abo ut the decadence of base ball The days of the diamond kings are num bered. Their proud spirits are bro ken. A league pitcher has asked for his release on the grounds that he cannot stand the “guying” in which the crowds indulge when he makes an error. The people of Georgia like nothing so mnch as fair play. They may not have fallen sufficiently in love with Congressman Livingston to name their youngest girl babies for him, bnt they are not going to see Hoke Smith elbow him aside, and take from him all tbe patronage that is his, by virtue of his Congressional office, without giving evidence of feelings of resentment—Isbmaelite. It is a most significant as well as encouraging signs of the times that popular attention is everywhere be ing awakened and directed to that overshadowing curse of American politics, the power of the “boss.” It is an evil which bas grown enormous ly with the growth of the country, and with the gradual formation of the class of professional politicians of a low type, who follow politics as a trade, and simply for the sake of the profit aod power there is in it. Ilie Heirs of Robert G. Dickerson are Here to Investigate a Claim. j J. R. Dickerson and other heirs of the \ late Robert G. Dickerson, eleven in | number, some of whom are not yet i twenty years of age, have recently been , informed that lot of land No. 202, on j which much valuable property in the city of W ay cross is located, was once the property of their father, who sold it J in 1850 to one Redding Young, making : him a bond for title only. The amount | of the consideration is not known by ! the heirs, but they claim that no part of j it was ever paid. Mr. J. R. Dickerson, | however, is of the opinion that the ' transaction was entered into in good Commencing; May 33. Come Right Along and See What a Bargain You Can Get! SnL. J. S7VTITH, PLHNT KVENUE.

It does appear that if he had any right under any kind of a title that he abandoned it during his life time, and tljat his heirs would engage in a chase after a “will o’ the wisp” should they undertake to build up and establish a claim to the land now. If the claim had existed in good shape at the time of the old gentleman’s de mise the heirs conld expect to recover under the law’ which keeps alive and protects the interests of miner heirs for seven years after they arrive at the age of twenty-one. In this case all of the heirs have reached their majority but one, and it is thought that no advantage will be gained by his minority as the transfers acquiesed in by the fa ther in his life time will be a sufficient guarantee to innocent purchasers and present holders of the property. The Methodist Sunday School Picnic at Johnson’s Park. Last Saturday was a red letter day in the history of the young folks of the Metho- odist Sunday School. Supt. Stanton had everything arranged in his own in imical way for a pleasant day, and was assisted by Capt. L. Johnson, who placed the entire train service of the Waycross Air Line Railroad at the dis posal of the committee. Transportation was made easy and the picnic was a success from start to finish. Scholars and patrons of the School to the num ber of five hundred turned out with well j filled baskets and the day was spent on the pleasant grounds of the park in vari ous ways to suit the inclinations of the happy children—sporting on the green, romping on the river, and games under the pavillion furnished the basis of amusements which diverged in various lines to suit the age and sex of the par ticipants. The booths were well sup plied with ice cream, lemonade and such other things as tempt the palates of the average picnickers on a warm day. Dinner was spread at 1 o’clock, and all present indulged to their hearts’ con tent ina genuine Wesleyan repast. Home was reached at 6 30 with no accident to mar the pleasures of the day. Beautiful Peaches. If any one doubts that this is a fine peach country, we would be glad to have them step in at C. C. Grace Co’s dry goods department to-day, and take a look at a beautiful bunch of this deli cious fruit which they will find hanging conspicuously in front. They were raised by Mr G. F. Wooten of this city. One hundred crates of such fruit would be worth, in northern markets, away up in the hundreds of dollars, and shows what can be' done in Waycross. We do not know what variety of peach the cluster belongs to, but the scent is Very familiar. Drop in at Grace’s and get a delicate smell, the cost will be compara tively small.
