Edwin Booth left an estate valued at tcoo.ooo. Eulslis bas left behind her many a reminder. Mr. Crisp will talk to Tammany on tbe fourth or July. There are forty-seven Chinese temples in tbe United States. This is Atlanta’s off * week. No new sensations for six days. Tbe Chicago fair is the biggest one tbe world ever saw and perhaps the worst managed. The efiort to raise Speaker Crisp’s scalp will not pan out much. Mr. Crisp will be tbe next Speaker. It is thought that the best half of the watermelon crop has gone forward from this section. A great many republican office holders are refusing to accept the situation with proper resignation. “The fair-must-be-ciosed-Sundays” paragraph is now eliminated from the Chicago papers. A drop in the price of rosin is re ported. Rosin is sticky enough to adhere to its first convictions. There are some people in Georgia who would have preferred that Blount remain in Hawaii. Once in every eight years all the locks on the United States mail bags are changed to insure safety. We complain of bard times in the south, but by comparison with the north and west, we are quite flush. There is a one-legged bicycle-rider in Chicago who is getting rich on his trick riding. Julia Force is to be placed on trial for the murder of her sister in Atlanta next Blondey. Confidence is a mighty good thing to have but we need a little cash while the peas are cooling. The definition of a mugwump is “a man who is never silent.” If he is silent lie is not a mugwump. Kart’'quakes are getting common and cheap. Almost any town can have one. Bliss Julia Force is now on trial in Atlanta for the murder of her sister. •She will be acquitted upon the ground of insanity. Tom Watson will open np bis cam paign for governor on July 4th.. We are afraid Thomas has hot work ahead of him. The terrible loss of the British battleship Victoria was the occasion of a cablegram from Mr. Cleveland to Queen Victoria. Tbe investigations of the Ford theater tragedy would indicate that the department superintendents rule their underlings with an iron rod. Tbe prohibitionists aud populists are combining in Iowa thi9 year. This will give tbe democrats a chance they bad scarcely calculated on. In the south tbe white man who is known to have sold his vote is dis graced. Without knowing we ask tbe question: Is it so in tbe north? Mr. Blount bas resigned and will soon leave Hawaii. This is a part of the arranged programme. Mr. Blount will be a gubernatorial possi bility . While indulging in criminations and recriminations within our own party, let us not loose sight of the fact that the republican and third parties are powerful friendly. A Pittsburg man has figured the end of the world down to Nov. 20th, 1899. We 9bould think he might try to let her stand six weeks longer and thus complete the full century; Lizzie Borden and her sister are said to be worth 8250,000.. How ever the lawyers are to be paid out of this amount. So yon can’t tell much about it. ,* Hon. Jerry Simpson will' be the orator at the celebration on July 4th to be held at Lnray, Page county, Virginia. . An Ohio life insurance firm has gonetothewa'.l with assets of 816. It looks like they might have run a day longer and made it even. Lizzie Borden bas returned to her home at Fall River, Mass. The bouse is tbe same in which her father and step-mother were murdered. Col. Aineswortb does not occupy a very enviable position in regard to tbe late Washington disaster, nor is the government blameless. Tbe Minneapolis Journal ie right. If there is anything in spiritualism, we ought to have found ont long ago who Sbakspeare was. Tbe French people will soon be called upon to select another presi dent. Mr. Carnot is at tbe point of death. Tbe Eastman Times nominates Lester for Governor. To elect him is another thing, tho' we would like to see it. It is estimated that northern visi tors to Florida leave nearly as mneb money in Florida as the orange and cotton crop combined amounts to. A copy of the first dictionary made by Chinese scholars in the year 1409 B. C., is still preserved among the archives of the Celestials. Perhaps Mr. Blount does not love Hawaii less but it is supposed that he loves the gubernatorial chair of Geor gia more. Mr. Eugene Speer bas been ap pointed chairman of a committee of treasury officials to visit New OHeans for the purpose of taking an invento ry of bullion coin and other proper ty of the United States in that city. Benj. H. Hill once said, “if you want a man to hate you, let him be aware that yon are honest and that you know he is mean,” and a truer sentiment never was uttered. This newspaper waif is as true as it is good; “A man never realizes what an ass he can be until he goes on a picnic and tries to help enter tain the party.” Editor McIntosh has been feasting on white blackberries. And some ga'oot bas asked the question, “ain’t white blackberries too good for an editor?" There is considerable kicking in France because the Panama canal swindlers were given their freedom. Its as hard to convict a man with money and influence in France as it is in America. A recent calculation places tbe number of immigrants to tbe United States during the century at 16,000,- 000. The native popnlation in the same time has increased oter 40,- 000,000. A correspondent of the St. Louis Post-Dispatcb attributes the financial depression prevailing in that locality to what be calls tbe “back door hab it” to which some of the bankers are’ addicted. A high school boy said recently in class in reply to tbe professor’s question: Among the different kinds of wind storm are the cyclone, torna do, typhoon, whirlwind and the Chi cago drummer.” The story of forest fires and burn, ing villages in Northern Wisconsin and Minnesota is a deplorable one. The sweep of the cyclone is nothing to tbe destructive sweep of the great forest fires. There is a strike in tbe South Car olina liquor bottling shops. A num ber of women who were paid 82.50 a week have quit. Their places were filled. The establishment is turning i,nt twelve hundred gallons of liqnor a day. Of the 400,000 immigrants who landed at Castle Garden last year only 4,000 came sooth. Tbe sonlb wants a good class ol immigrants but the riff-raff of the old world will not be welcome here. The Georgia colonels who failed to get places in the civil service de partment at Washington can get em ployment in the agncaltnra! depart ment athome. It ain’t too late to plant taters. Atlanta gets in on time this morn ing with a fresh sensation. This timn it is a mens between Dr. West moreland, Judge. Emory Speer, Dan. Ronntree and lawyer Crawford. Lightning struck a circus tent rt River Falls, Minnesota, yesterday, and killed six persons and injured several othere. Those who stayed away from the circus were not in jured. Congressman Turner, of Georgia, has entered upon his thirteenth year’s service as a member of the lower house of the national legislature, and in all that time he bas never voted wrong or had a single act questioned. What a grand record! -Ocala Capi tol. Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Davis have met and are much pleased with each other. Another episode in the great est tragedy of the nineteenth century bas been enacted. When the ladies make friends tbe war must certainly be over. Let U9 have peace. The Tbomasville Times says there is some good growing ont of the use of cigarettes, after all;' they kill off dudes and sap-headed youths who have no better sense than to steep their systems full of tbe poisoD fol lowing the use of them. The surprising strength of the so cialists in Germany, polling as they did 2,000,000 votes and electing anywhere < between forty and fifty members of the German reiebstag, is matter for serious consideration everywhere. The husband of Minerva, the strong woman who can lift 835 lbs. and hold out a 150-lb. dumb-bell, bas go?a divorce from herbus b’nd.A man who would rush madly upon a dan ger of that kind onght to have been forced by the referee to stay in the ring and take his punishment. A lively campaign over tbe prohib itory liquor question is predicted in Iowa next fail. But the people of Iowa, like those of Blaine, are becom ing reconciled to tbe situation. While the Prohibitionists rejoice in the law the others get their liquor without any trouble and the saloon keepers pay no license for selling it. As being more nearly accurate than anything seen in tbe columns of that paper for some months we call attention to this from tbe Chicago Inter-Ocean: Georgia farmers want to raise sheep, but the majority of Georgians prefer to Taise coon and ’possum dogs, which don’t object to sheep meat for variety in diet.—Au gusta Chronicle. The Prince of Wales while in his yacht at its winning race carried a cane and escorted a Sky terrier, leading tbe creature by a silken string. American yacht clubs will undoubtedly profit by the example, and hereafter no amateur seadog will venture ou bis bark on tbe sea with out having on board a cane and s Sky terrier led by a silken string. Tbe Knoxville Sentinel says Re ceiver Duncan’s refusal to admit col ored people at Lake Ottossee bas aroused the ire of tbe race and they have taken revenge. At Elmwood park, tbe resort near Ottossee for colored people, the following placard is nailed conspicuously at the main entrance: “No white people admit ted, except as servants." If parents and pastors would only attend the Sabbath school, they wonld be saved tbe mortification of meeting the children coming away. The best plan for filling up the church with the children, is for the Sunday schools to be filled np with parents. Many parents need the Sunday school as much as their children. The bank failures we have had in Georgia are not to be compared to those they bare bad in the western states. Several Chicago hanks were seriously embarrassed, bat the pro prietors of the fair ground lunch counters came to their relief, and they stood a steady ran for three days and nights, snd then bad money enough left to buy out a few provin cial governments. , Distribution of Office*. The Haora Telegraph, alwaya in clined to do justice to all, speaks as follows: Our South Georgia exchanges seem to have “caught on” to the interesting fact that South Georgia is being com pletely ignored in the distribution of Federal patronage, and they are not pleased. Their displeasure is perfectly natural. The strength of the Democrat ic party of Georgia lies in those parts of the state which are being ignored. Judge Turner’s magnificent campaign in the eleventh district and his complete success did more than any other one thing to encourage the party at a time when there was danger of disruption and defeat. He proved that the best way to deal with political heresies is to fight them in an open, manly fashion. In the second district, South Georgia Democrats showed that they were will ing to make almost any sacrifice to pre serve peace in the party. They did pre.' serve it, when in other parts of the state factional dissensions and the ambition of individuals were allowed to distract and weaken the party. The Telegraph has no sympathy with tbe eager spoils hunting that reduces every new administration to a state of helplessness for several months; but if certain valuable offices are to be given to Georgia Democrats, there is norea- r justice in distributing all of them among persons living in a small region in the northern part of the state. If this sectional policy is to be pur sued further, we see no remedy but for South Georgia and Middle Georgia Democrats to recognize it as the proper policy in their turn and proceed to look out for their own interests. They can not force the national administration to do them justice, hut there are certain important offices in the gift of the state which they can take for themselves at any time they see fit to do so. Uley Williams in Lack. Mr. Uley J. Williams, formerly' Ol Waycross, now of Bainbridge, has re ceived a government appointment in the interior department at Washington with a salary of81,800. Mr, Willems has many friends here who will be rejoiced to hear of his good fortune. Bet) Rus sell probably pulled the wires. ’ if . - ' AMONG 0VR EXCHANGES. China Hits Back. China bas already begun a system atic retaliation against the United States on account of tbe Geary act. The North China News, received by the steamer Japan from China, states that Hsu Toatai, Viceroy of Amoy, has issued his proclamation prohibiting the purchase, use or sale of American kerosene in the prov ince. The statement is made that for every Cbiaaman deported a simi lar ukase some one American pro duct will he issued. Canton and Swatow are preparing to follow suit. Pretty Cool up There. The following clippings are taken from the Farmington, Maine, Chronicle of the 20th inst, and show that there is considerable difference between that climate and our own : AVe hear of heavy frosts on the Ken nebec river, but none here yet.” i very nice growing time we are having now, and grass is looking well in the fields, excepting where the ice laid on it in the winter. Com and potatoes have come up well and most of the corn is already hoed.” Mr. Elbridge Parker had sweet corn spindled Thursday, June 16th, and pole beans two feet high on the poles tbe same day. F. E. Ham, our popular postmaster, reported that there was frost enough Friday night, Junel7th, to with er some of his vegetables on the lowland. It looks as though everybody waa going to be satisfied with the weather, for we have one day which rivals that of the tropics and the next will come pretty close to that of the Arctic regions.” Russell After Scalps. The following extract from a Wash ington correspondent shows that Ben. Russell is putting in some good work for his section. Ben is a hostler and never forgets a friend: “Representative Russell got in a job' lot of business to-day for his district. He saw Mr. Bissell and that official promised him to depose Postmas ter Brimberry at Albany very soon and give the town a Democratic postmaster. CapL Y. G. Rust will succeed to the of fice. The Dawson and Tbomasville of- ccs will likewise receive early attention and democrats will manage their postal affairs.” Gradually the old Confederate vet erans are passing away. According to some recent figures compiled by State Treasurer Hardeman, of Geor gia, in 1883 there were 1000 pension ers who drew 8100 for loss of limb or total disability. Three hundred of these have died since that time. The next decade will record a still larger mortality among the old vets, per haps more than double that of the past ten years. The yonng men of tbe preset generation will doubtless seethe pension books closed and “Crossed Over” written on the label. —Ocala Capital. Aud now Cuthbert is going to have s cannery. A good move. , Albany did not catch any of the earth quake shake. Atlanta has raised her street tax from one to three dollars. Mis. Elizabeth Latham died in Atlan* ta recently at the age of 102 years. The Atlanta post office question is still undecided.—Lumpkin Independent. Atlanta hasn’t decided any questions recently. Adel in Worth county is not in the melon shipping business this year. The Macon Telegraph got slightly disfigured in its row with Huff, hut it won its fight on the sewer question. Luther Whitfield, an old Brooks coun ty boy, is publishing a first class paper at Live Oak, “The Banner.” Cpl. J. W. Hanlon is now chief editor of the Ocala Capitol. Hanlon is mak ing a first-class paper of the Capitol. Nearly all the mill ponds in Berrien county broke loose last week. The floods in that section have been terrific. Mr. Gerardeau of Monticello, Fla., shipped Bix car loads of canteloupes to Chicago a few days since. An exchange says, “Pigeons were employed in the mail service in Bible times.” We thought these were Bible times. The Eastman Times is on its metal this week, and goes foi the greedy office seekers of north and middle Georgia with gloves off. Hit ’em again, Stokes. On account of the unusual stringent times there are several Savannah houses in the hands of receivers—Savannah Local. A negro preacher at Rome, who hod besn sentenced to the chain-gang for beating his wife, jumped in the river on the 22d and drowned himself. An eating reform association hus been established in New York. It claims that a man can live on two cents a .day. We have foiwarded our application for mem bership. Miss Ida Wright of Atlanta was re- cently married to General Antoine Ezettta, brother of the president of Sal vador. Atlanta reaches into Central America for her sensations. Major M. C. Kiser is erecting a hand some vault on his lot at Oakland, in Atlanta. Fifteen carloads of granite will he utilized in its construction, and the cost will be $20,000. The hardest politieal battles in the history of Georgia have been fought in the second district, but so far there has been no recognition of tbe South Geor gia democrats—Boston Globe. Will Brown and Lee Hoist, formerly bell boys at the De Soto, who stole $3,500 worth of diamonds from Mr. McLaughlin of Brooklyn last March at the DeSoto were arrested in New York yesterday by Detective Doran. The annual meeting of the Georgia Teachers’ Association will meet in Gainesville on June 27th, and continue three days. Ho: -t and railroad rates will be reduced, mi i many fine speakers will be on hand. < When Congress meets the first thing it ought to do is to provide for two editions of the silver dollar, one heavy weight, half pound edition for these “(10 cents dollar men” and one of “the dollars of our daddies for plain, old fashioned dem ocrats. The hellions who are running the Chicago fair have carried their point, and the great show will be open on Sun day’s. Well, if the Ishmaelite baa tbe lack to get hold of any “gate money” it will spend it at home.—Ishmaelite. The Georgian who didn't want an office died yonng. Cholera infantum was the cause of his untimely taking off. —Gnlf Tenant. Respectfully referred to Judge Perham for denial.—Ocala Capitol. We art like tbe boy the ealf ran over, nothing to say. A treasury, statement issued a few days ago showed that the amount of United States bonds held abroad, on which interest is remitted semi-annually, is only about $18,500,000. Twelve years ago the amount of Unitel States bonds owned in Europe was $538,000,- 000. During the past hunting season about 300 otter skins and several hundred coon A turpentine operator says $150,000 will not cover the damage done to tim ber by the late storm. The Turpentine Operator’s News says: ‘We must have easier money or many people must go to the wall.” The trials of the Hinckles in Ameri cas has been postponed until December on account of the absence of witnesses. It is rumored that a hill has been drawn to enjoin Brunswick against sell ing her sewer bonds and that Judge Sweat will be asked to pass upon it. The average young gallant will run along side a girl on a' bicycle until the perspiration flows like a stream; but you couldn’t get him to cut a stick of wood for love or money.—Albany Herald. The Albany Herald says: “If any one believes the Herald is going to mince political matters in the coming fight, just watch and see.” We never knew Mclntesh to mince anything. He goes the whole hog, and if its at a fish fry, six large bream will fill the bill. Georgia “bobbed up serenely” in the list of appointments yesterday, hut not “from below.” Her place is on top and she generally stays there.—Atlanta Journal. The Journal is correct. None of the appointments from Georgia ever come from below Macon. There is no estimating the value of a newspaper to a town, and very few there are who appreciate this fact.— Albany Advertiser. It is said that roller skating is being revived again. To the fellow who can ride a bicycle this signifies nothing. The report that the Police Gazette will be removed to Atlanta is in circu lation. Atlanta ought to deny it. The Darien Gazette says, “money continues very tight” You ought to have a dry town, Dick Grubb, and then money would keep sober. Nearly all the towns are making or dinances against reckless bicycle riding. So far the bicyclists of Waycross have hurt nobody be themselves. The body of a white baby with its bead crushed was found in a well on a vacant lot near Columbus on Saturday. The discovery has produced a sensation. The announcement is made that Rev. Simon Peter Richardson will be placed on the superannuated list This noted Georgia preacher has given almost a lifetime to religious labor and has earn ed his rest, says the Augusta Chronicle. •ledge Waxem’s Proverbs.

Nobody ever questions the other- doxy of the stars and stripes. Some statesmen live on poker and perqnizets. Politicks ain’t even kin to patriot ism.
