No whnder the “common people” groan in England. A Let Up in Appointments. Postmaster General BiSsell says that until after the President's return from Buzzard’s Bay early in August, no fur ther appointments for Presidential post masters would be made. When Congress meets it will make a spoon or spoil a boro. We think Congress will make a very complete silver spoon. The Albany News and-Advertiser says if Mr. Wrtson comes to Dough erty county he wont find third party tallow enough to grease a frying pan. The cyclones which swept over the northwest last week were the fiercest and most destructive in the history of that section. Corresponding Secretary Baxter in Trouble. The following from the Brunswick Times-Advertiser does not speak well for Secretary Barker, of the weekly Pres3 Association. If the charges are true he should be expelled: “One of the unpleasant features of the convention was the preferment of charges against Corresponding Secretary Barker for the wrongful disposition of passes issued by the railroad to members of the association. Passenger Agent Hall was on hand and stated that the tickets had been found m many hands, and that he had bought them back. Resolution of investigation committee was adopted, and the trial will take place to-morrow It is believed that he will be expelled. 31 r.

There are few towns in Georgia Of five thousand in habitants, outside of Waycross that can support two newspapers.

A Chicago woman has lost her hus band in the mazes of Indianapolis. But thi9 instance doeso’t compen sate for the number of Indianapolis men who have lost their wives in Chi cago. Some of the Georgia boys down at St. Simons yesterday wanted to take the beach home with them. They had doubtless been sampling the artillery punch furnished by the Times-Advertiaer. He Was Insulted. A farmer went into a certain store the other day and asked the proprietor if he wanted to buy some fresh butter. The merchant told him ho would ask his wife if she needed any, so he stepped to the telephone and calling up his wife, talked to her a few seconds through the phone, then turning to the country man, who was standing with his hands in his pockets, his eyes stretched and his face very red, told him that his wife said she did not need any butter. The indignant country man blurted out, “Look here, mister, If you didn’t want any butter why didn’t you say so? I ain’t 9uch a gol durned fool as to think you’ve got your wife shut up in that little box.” And turning he started out, leaving the merchant speechless.—Blackshear Times. The late Senator Stanford’s mau soleum, completed not long since, cost one hundred and sixty-four thousand dollars. It is after the type of s Greek temple, and contains three tombs.

The action has created the most intense excitement, but it is not believed any trouble will ensue. So another republic has been bom among the nations. % A Realism. ‘At last we are alone l” The woman trembled and lifted her eyes to his face. They were beautiful eyes; but they were tremendous; eyes which looked out from a heart which is irresolute, fearful. The echoes brought back in their in visible arms the sound, and let it ripple out again until it struck the walls once more and fell into the vast void of si lence. A bat, disturbed by tbe usual activity darted from a corner and blindly dashed in eccentric convolutions about the dusty building. Great ropes of cobwebs hung down from the ceiling, and across the comer of the room dead flies swung lightly in the hammock the spiders had fastened there. The dust rose in listless clouds from the shock of the. heavy footfall, and sank again, overcome by its own inertia. Even the air was resting. The spirit of desolation seemed to pervade the place. The woman looked furtively around ujion her dim surroundings and shivered. The man laughed harshly. “Alone, I said,” he growled. “Yes,” she murmured. A faint light struggled in through the great windows thick with dust. “Where are we?” she whispered and shivered as the bat dashed into her hair. “Listen,” he replied hoarsely, “we are in a store which does not advertise.”— Detroit Free Press. AMONG OUR EXCHANGES, MiUedgeville is rejoicing over the completion of her new water-works. Mr. A. C. Sweat, -former editor of the Douglas Breeze, has accepted the editorship of the Jesup Sentinel.

The Brunswick Times-Advertiser 83js that city is preparing to enter tain the Georgia weekly editors on the 11th inst. According to our reckoning the editors will entertain Brunswick.—Albany Herald. Does South Georgia really want the next Governor and Senator or are the boys just joking about the matter? If they mean it why let them say so.—Darien Gazette.” We are waiting to hear from you, Grubb. What do you say? The Brunswick Times-Advertiser is a mighty good paper and we need it in our business, but three papers of each issue is too big a dose and too much of a tax on our neighbors.— Touch up your mailing clerk, brother Wrench, but don’t let him forget us entirely. Capt. T. J. Fuller, the republican postmaster at Waycross, has resign ed, saying that he did not think he should hold office under a democratic administration, and he is right. It is refreshing these hot July days to read of one conscientious, self-respecting republican office holder.—Dalton Cit izen. The Macon Telegraph proposes to send two of Georgia’s prettiest girls to the World’s Fair. They are to be selected by ballots and the Tele graph will furnish free transportation and expenses. It is well known that the prettiest girl in Georgia resides in Waycross. It does not require a ballot to decide that question. How About This! “Hon. Sam Dunlap was installed into office as marshal of the northern dis trict of Georgia Saturday. His first work was to appoint nine Republican deputy marshals.”—Courant-American. ■ We clip the above from the 3Iacon News. It had been reproduced from the Courant-American. It is of course un true that 3Ir. Dunlap has appointed nine Republican marshals, when Everybody knows that th’e woods are full of gefcd democrats who want places. Notes From Hilliard. Mr. G. F.

The young people of Hilliard enjoyed a few hours in a game of “Croca” this afternoon. L. B. Cason, of Stark, Fla., is spending a few days with his cousins at Hilliard. Rev. L. C. Music preached an interest ing sermon here a few nights ago. Quite a number were present and we trust some good may result. S. The Georgia Press Gang Pass Through the City. The Georgia Press Gang passed through the city last night enroute to Jacksonville and St. Augustine. They were all in fine spirits and upon reaching the lunch counter at the union-depot the crowd called for “hop-tea.” The “hop-tea” was not forthcoming and the procession proceeded to clean up the lunch in regular editorial style. Judging from their appetites, the gang must have taken a tonic in Brunswick. The boys declined an invitation to stop over de claring that they were*dry and must hasten to a town where there was a supply of “hop tea.” Hurrah for the Georgia Press Gang, and good luck to them alwavs. Officers of Weekly Press Association The following is a list of officers of the Weekly Press Association of Georgia, elected yesterday, at Brunswick : 8.

McCutchen, of the Franklin News, assistant recording secretary Last fall I was taken with a kind of summer complaint, accompanied with a wonderful diarrhoea. Soon after my wife’s sister, who lives with us, was ken in the same way'. We used almost eyerything without benefit. Then I said let us try Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which we did, and that cured us right away. I think much of it, as it did for me what it was recommended to do. John Hertzler, Bethel, Berks Co., Pa. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale at Cash Drug Store. The Ladies at Work. The northern division of the Ladies Aid Society of the Methodist church met yesterday at the residence of Mrs. H. 3Iurphy, and raised forty-nine dollars and seventy cents. The northern division is ahead of the other divisions, though the ladies are all doing all in their power to furnish the new church. That the ladies will be crowned with success we do not doubt. God speed them in their noble work. It Should Be In Every Hons J J. B. Wilson, 371 Clay St., Sharps- burg, Pa., says he will not be without Dr. King’s New Discovery for consump tion, coughs and colds, that it cured his wife who was threatened with pneumonia after an attack of la grippe, when var ious other remedies and several physi cians had done her no good. Robert Barber, of Cooki.port, Pa., claims Dr. King’s New Discovery has done him more good than anything he ever used for lung trouble. Nothing like it. Try it. Free trial bottles at A. B.

I consider it the best medicine made and can conscientiously recom mend it to all who need a diarrhoea or colic medicine. J. E. Hare, Trenton, Texas. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale at Cash Drug Store. “The Waycross (Ga.,) Herald, copying a paragraph in a recent issue of The News concerning the wonders of that town, ob jects to the statement that the land there abouts is too poor to grow peas. It also claims that Waycross has a population of 5,000. The Herald writes us to Come down there and see the town. We can’t spare the time just now, but if the editor of the Herald will send us a quart ot peas and certify that they were grown on Waycross soil, we will call it square, and in subsequent issues will try to make amends for the injustice done that town.” Charlotte. (N. C.,) News. The Herald hasn’t a quart of peas to spare just at this time, but would like to swap the editor of the News a “Jim Kolb” melon for a quart of huckleberries. Liner’s Alliance, of Lafayette county, 3Iiss.. has hit upon the correct idea of the sub-treasurv in the following sensi ble resolution: “That we will try and make our sub-treasury at home, and try to store it with corn, hay, fodder, pota toes. peas, cabbage, turnips, onions, beets, rice, parsnips, molasses, pinders, and then if we have any time left we will put in on©' or two bales of cotton, and we. advise our brethren to do the same. We believe that this is the only way that we will ever have a sub-treas ury that will ever be of any use to us as ■farmers.” Brad Watson A Co. pay your railroad fare ten miles when you trade $6 00 or more.

Murphey’i store about three o’clock, and alighting from his bicycle, in the presence of sev eral witnesses, challenged Mr. Murphy for a bicycle race. Mr. Murphy did not accept and 3Ir. Lott sailed off in high glee, with all the appearar.ee of a warrior who had saved his reputation and avoid ed a battle which might have proved dis astrous. Madame Grundy Says That a man who pulls fodder with his gloves on—well that’s all she wants to know. That she will be glad when the time comes for “Slab,” “Dab” and “Blab” to go into winter quarters, they keep her flustrated with their gab all the time. That she has a wedding booked for Gilmore street before you know it. Now don’t all guess at once. That she is going to St. Simon’s next Sunday to take a dip in the ocean, and the boys may go to sea.
