If there is any free American citi zens who hasn't already furnished the administration with advice, he is informed that the meetin* is still open. Confidence is a mighty good thing to have, sure enough. Now that the extra session has been called every body except the editors are putting their money back in the hanks Conductor Steele of the Aransas Pass road, who ran down and cap tured the would-be train robber, is of the stuff that heroes are made of and deserves tbe thanks of the public. A train of “prairie schooners’ bound for the Cherokee Strip bear this motto: “In God we trusted. In Kansas we busted! So let’er rip.

Even Senator Sherman, the author of the bill, and ex-President Harrison, who signed it, are now in favor of its re peal. Silver went up three pence in Lon don as soon as Mr. Cleveland an nounced an extra session for August- Now, let him announce another ex tra session for September and per haps she will mount again. It is pretty generally understood tbat no applicant for office from South Georgia has been endorsed by either Colqnitt or Gordon. They have.steadily adhered to the idea that North Georgia - was entitled to everything. South Georgian’s do not propose to desert their homes because this section bas been ignored by Mr. Cleveland. We can live at home and boerp at the same place until our democracy and our rights are re cognized by a change of presidents. South and West Georgia have no desire'to harbor sectional feelings, bat the people are becoming weary of continual submission to the dic tates of North Georgia, and propose in the next campaign to take a rather active part.—Columbus Enquirer. Sam Jones says, “after all there ain’t much difference between a Pres byterian and a Methodist. A Meth odist gets religion and is always afraid he’ll lose it, but a Presbyter ian never loses it* but is. always afraid he hasn’t got it. * An Italian committed snicideat Santa Rosa, Cal., recently because he had no education. He left a statement to tbe effect tbat a man without one bad no business to live. He took no stock in the old adage that ignorance is bliss. AMONG OUR EXCHANGES. The Quitman postoffice has been re duced from $1,300 to $1,200. Hogs are dying rapidly of cholera in Brooks county. Brunswick people still have hopes Mr. H. H. Cabaniss, manager of j that the State bank will be reopened, the Atlanta Evening Journal, has bicycle race tendered each member of the edito rial and reportorial staff a free ticket to Chicago and return, with one week's board there and their salaries to continue while away. Tb^cow-boy, John Berry, won the race from Chadron, Nebraska, to the World’s Fair grounds at 9.30 day be fore yesterday. He rode his celebra ted chestnut horse “Poison.” He covered the last 150 miles in 24 hours. The next arrival was two hours behind Berry. Wherf a bank fails in China the high muck-a-muck of the empire sends around a basket and has tbe beads of tbe officials brought to him, his idea being doubtless to prevent a recurrence of the failure. Should his plan he adopted in this country just now, fearful would he tbe slaughter. George W. Vanderbilt has added j an electric car at Rome on Wednesday 20,000 more acres to his possessions last, in the Land of the Sky. On his All the towns have docketed for the fourth. The bank of Quitman declares a semi annual dividend of three and a half per cent. The ice-plant in Bainbridge has shut down. Mint-julep without ice is rather poor stuff we should imagine. The Atlanta Herald will be two years old on the 10th inst. The Herald is steadily making its way to the front. It turns out that the 2,427 men in Georgia entitled to an office, all live in Nofth Georgia.—Bainbridge Democrat The Whigham Grit changes editors this week. S. B. Wilson retires and J. A. Hammond takes charge. Hon. H. G. Turner was at St. Simons yesterday. Our reporter does not say whether or not he tackled the breakers. Eonus Duncan, a fourteen year old boy, was ground and mashed to death by 10,000 acres near Asheville be is building tbe finest private home in America and the new place or park will be used as a game preserve for the sport of our royal George and his friends. The spectacle of the Chicago an archists unveiling a monument to their fellows who were executed for murder in 1887 is not a very refresh ing one, remarks the Pittsburg Times. This is a free country, it is true, hut the line of freedom ought to be drawn on, monuments to anarchy.—Colum bus Enquirer-Sun. It is understood tbat Mr. 1 Geo. S. Haines will be postmaster at Savan nah when the time comes. There is no man more entitled to it than Mr. Haines, and no one more competent to fill the position. The appointment will give general satisfaction in the Herald office from the boss to tbe devil. It is rumored that the fortunate man who gets the post office plum at this place has promised to keep ice cold milk-shakes setting in every box in the post office for the accommoda tion of his patron^. It is to be pre sumed that the bill of fare will he changed to something warmer as tbe weather grows colder. The Albany Herald speaks thusly of the Central railroad litigation in Savannah: “If there is any one in Georgia, outside of the lawyers, who understands the case, it is not known who he is. It is hoped tbat the law yers will leave the wood racks along the road to the stockholders. Speaking of the “sweet girl grad uate,” what an inprovement does she make upon man’s slangy “Where am I at?” with her more elegant version, “Whither are we drifting?” As the Hon. Jerry Rusk once remarked: “Education is a great snap.”—Louis ville Courier-Journal. The oldest postmaster in the Uni ted States, died at Macon last Sun day. His name was * S. C. Pruden and he was appointed by President Van Bnren, and served up to the time of bis death. He was eighty- five years of age. A most peculiar circumstance in connection with tbe death of this venerable servitor of Uncle Sam was that lie died on tbe day that bis last commission expired. Hon. H. G. Turner, the representa tive from Glynn county, is here to help participate in the fourth of July glori fication.—Brunswick Times. WILLIAM H. MOORE. That day when we met him first he smiles.

CONGRESS MEETS ON AUGUST 7TH. The President Issues His Proclamation and Gives His Reasons. The President’s proclamation call ing for an extra session of congress, will be read with pleasure and favor ably commented on throughout the land: Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C., June SO, 1893.—Whereas, The distrust and apprehension concerning the finan cial situation which pervade all business circles have already caused great loss and damage to our people, and threaten to cripple our merchants, stop the wheels of manufacture, bring distress and privation on our fanners and withhold from our workingmen the wages of labor; and The Savannah Press says that “Mr. Stanhope Sams, who missed the Persian mission, has been awarded the Presidency of the Atlanta Bicycle Club.” The political recognition of South western Georgia will be an assured fact in future. There is no mistaking this. Columbus Enquirer. Whereas, The present perilous condi tion is largely the result of the financial policy which the executive branch of the government finds embodied in unwise laws which must be executed until re pealed by congress. Now, therefore, I, Grover Cleveland, President of the United States, in performance of my con stitutional duty, do by this proclamation declare that extraordinary occasion re quires the convening of both houses of the congress of the United States at the | capitol in the city of Washington the In Jacksonville the reporters send up j <tb da y August next, at 12 o’clock , .... . , . , noon, to the end that the-people may be a pitiful wail .fan hour’s beer famine relieved through legislation from the present and impending danger and dis- occurs. They ought to hire out to a beer distillery.—Capital. Editor Stokes, of the Eastman Times, goes for Crisp, Gordon and Colquitt with gloves off. Editor Stokes, allow us to pat you on the back. The Baptist congress of America will be held in Augusta, Ga., this fall. Prominent men from all over the coun tress. All those entitled to act as members of the Fifty-third congress are required to take notice of this proclamation and attend at the time and place above stated. i Given under my hand and the seal of the United States at the city of Washing ton on tbe 30th day of June, in the year of our Lord, one thousand, eight hundred 7 will be,present and discuss matters j of interest to the church. j ftnt j seventeenth. The Bainbridge Democrat is justly in- 1 Grover Cleveland. dignant at the arrest and jailing of a ne- Ben Russell at the White House. Congressman Ben Russell has had quite a talk with Mr. Cleveland relative to South Georgia. The genial Congress man did riot mince words when speaking about that section. He spoke of the loyalty of the people of lower Georgia and their firmness to Democracy. The President has had the wants of both Middle and South Georgia well present ed to him by the Congressmen of the lower districts. There is very little left in the way of plums for the faithful, but there may be a hope felt that wbat therd is to spare may go to the sections as yet unnoticed. * France has a population ot 38,344,000 inhabitants and a standing army of 508,000 men and 130,000 horses, but her probable effective strength for. war purposes would be 3,850,000 soldiers. The total French budget is $650,000,000 and the expenses of the ministers of war and of the navy are nearly one- third of this yearly appropriation. gro woman who shot a negro man for attempting to outrage her person. It thinks the woman should rather be given a premium of a shot-gun and ten pounds of ammunition to have gone on with the good work. And she should. Here is an item from the Bainbridge Democrat which should encourage small farmers in that section: “There is a truck farmer near Macon, Ga., who is making money above a living on eleven acres of land. He sells melons, vegeta bles, berries, peaches, apples, milk, but ter, etc., is busy all the time, contented and happy.” . Mr. Fuller Will Resign at Once. A card from )--<•»: master Fuller to the public will be foun j in another column to-day. Mr. Fuller informs the Herald that he will resign once and we there fore refrain from «. riticism ands charges which would doubtless have been ex pected of u4 and which, as in duty bound, we should have made. The Herald feels very kindly and charitably toward Mr. Fuller as our past attitude in the postoffice matter has] proven, and in view of his statement to the public we are disposed to draw the veil of charity and now let bygones be bygones,provided of course that Mr.JFuller’s resignation is tendered at once. This, in behalf of the people and the party, the Herald demands. From Ben Russell. Tbe following note was received by tbe Herald this morning, and speaks for itself. Ben is making the fur fly whenever he gets a chance: Washington, D. C., June 29,1893. Dear Herald : — Please send me your evening paper. I need it in my business. My address is 248, 3d street, N. W. I am trying to get the rascals out in the Second, and am meeting with some success. Yours faithfully, Ben E. Russell. The Press in China. M. Imbault Huart, the French Con sul at Cantcn, has recently been giving some interesting particulars concerning journalism in China. The first of the non-official Chinese newspapers appear ed at Shanghai thirty years ago, and was succeeded by two papers started at Tientsin and Canton. These three pa pers were nominally started by Euro peans, who, however, only lent their names to the lettered Mandarins, who were their real proprietors and conduc tors. The French Jesuits have also founded a paper, which now appears twice a week. The Chinese papers are now read in the most distant part of the Empire, and the Shanghai News, which has for the last seven years published an illustrated weekly supplement, has a circulation of 12,000. The Home Newspaper. A newspaper is the greatest help to the growth of a town that can be. It is a standing advertisement whicji always attracts. It gives more free puffs and explanations of the place than all others. It never lets pass a good opportunity to advocate the interests of its home enter prises. It helps all the churches and never fails to speak out for its schools— resents all insinuations against the char acter of the citizens and industries of the town ; it lives but to benefit the commu nity. To repay its untiring efforts it asks the support of the people, not in a begging manner, but as a recompense for its labor. It is entitled to a liyeli- hood because it gives more than it takes. It only asks for its rights, and thege it should have.—Leader. Bride (just after the wedding) “Fred, you promised to give me a grand sur prise after we were married. What is it ?” Bridegroom (who was a widower) ‘<1 have six chidren, my pet—all boys.'* Bride—“How delightful, dear ! I have four daughters. Shan’t we all he hap py together, love ?”—Tid-Bits. A little girl in Marshal county, Ala., wandered off from home and was found peacefully sleeping in the woods with her head pillowed hear a large rattle snake which had nQt harmed her. Cashier Cunningham Arrested. Cashier Frank E. Cunningham, of the Brunswick State Bank, has been arres ted for receiving deposits after knowl edge of the insolvency of the bank. The grand jury found a true bill against Mr. Cunningham. Judge Sweat placed the bond at $2,500 which was given. The Times suggests that there are twenty others in the city fully as culpable as Cunningham. “Tommy,” said the visitor, “have you read the books in your Sunday school library?” “Some of them,” he replied, rather doubtfully. “Can you tell me what happened to the boy who went fishing on Sunday?’ “Yes. He caught three catfish and an eel.” “How do you know that?” ‘Cause I was him.” > 4
