The press of Georgia is a unit in its demand for boilot reform. Grover Cleveland has shown by his foresight that lie is the right man. Honduras has apologized for shoot ing nt the stars and stripes. It is well. Southwest Georgia is very dry and in some sections stock is suffering for water. The average newspaper man is having a hard time trying to explain the recent democratic defeat. And now.wc hear of uo more bank failures. Surely things nre getting in a better fix. The cotton crop of 1893 is larger than the crop of 1892 and yet we call it a short crop. And now it Irogins to leak out that a lack of votes was the real cause of the late Pemocratic defeat. Mr. Cleveland says his time is not his own, but if possible lie will visit the Augusta exposition. The third party has.reecivcd a black eye in Kansas.' It has received its death blow in the home of its friends. Will Grady, son of the late la mented Henry Graey, lias received a government appointment iq the West. The Ocala Capitol says that “Wil son of Virginia, and Turner of Geor gia, arc the leading tariff reformers 'n Congress.” The poeple who visited the world’s fair ‘‘blew in” 814,000,000 in the Midway Plaisancc. And this was a year of hard limes. The cause of the democaatic defeat in the east is at last explained. Voters did not listen to tlic advice of the Atlanta Constitution—says the Constitution. The social season at the gay Capi tal has commenced. There will be receptions, balls, operas, etc., etc. Hard times does not effect the gayeties in Washington to any per ceptible extent. Tbe President comes out of the Democratic defeat with enhanced reputation, if that were possible, and a sustained, if not strengthened, bold upon tlie confidence of tbe coun try.—Boston Herald. The Bainbridgc Globe a third party paper says: “Three more years of bard times and robbing of the far mers." If tbe editor wanted to tell a good one why eouid'nt be get down ta it right and say twenty years in stead of three. For tbe first time in fifteen years tbe business of this country is free from a menace to tbe stability and honesty of our monetary system. All honor to the firm band at tbe White House! - Boston Herald. The question is, would tbe demo crats have carried New York if May nard had not been nominated for judge of tire Court of Appeals.—Au gusta Press. Our contemporary mis takes. This is no longer a question, its the excuse for defeat- The Treasury statement, issued Thursday, shows that the money in oirculatiQn increared 20 cents per sepita during the month of October, being now $25.49. And yet the •aiamity howlers continue to whine ■bout the currency. -Atlanta Jour nal. Let every democrat in Georgia set Ms face against tbe effort being made •bder false colors to hreak down tbe democratic party. We have great faith in the common sense of Geor gia democrats. Disappointed sore-, heads cannot lead them astray— Jtatnbridge Democrat. r The democratic party will live be cause it deserves to live. An exchange suggests morphine ns a remedy for bog cholera. The South is still solid. Yon can always tell where the south is at. Harry Hill’s case comes np for trial in Atlanta to-day. It is thought by some that he will plead guilty. Prize fighting is brutal and demor alizing and should be discounte nanced, discouraged and put down by law. A man shot and killed himself in a Philadelphia restaurant the other day after eating apiece of pic. Verdict: Justifiable. Tbe Governor of Louisianna says Corbett and Mitcbeli shall not fight on Louisianna ground. The Gover nor is light. It is pretty well understood that the re-election of Bill McKinley does not mean the endorsement of the McKinley bill. During September there were 545 deaths in Havana, of which 70 were caused by yellow fever. The births numbered 344. The revolution in Cuba seems to be morn important than was at first supposed. The present uprising may last several weeks. The Ohio election has settled the question of the leadership of the Ile- publican party for the present. It will be McKinley for president. The fast rate at which the world is living and making history is fully demonstrated by tbe late Chicago exposition. It is now only a remin iscence. The question as to what caused the late Democratic defeat, is as far from solution as is tlic much mooted in quiry about the mau who struck Billy Patterson. The total number of admission to the Chicago expisition from first to last was 27,494,998. The number is three times as great as the attend ance at the Centennial. It has beeu settled that the Cor- bett-Mitchell slugging match will take place at Jacksonville on January 25th for twenty thousand dollars, tbe winner to have the entire purse. William A. Pinkerton, in an ar ticle on “Iligewayman of the Rail road,” published in the North Ameri can Review, says that train robbers are the result of yellow-back litera ture. Tbe Denver News attributes the defeat of the populist free silver parly in Colorado to the A. P. A’s. It also remarks that there are gold bugs in Colorado as well as in the East. An impression seems to prevail that the President and Congress in a short extra session ought to correct all the devilment done by the Re publicans in thirty years. Don’t be too impatient.—Valdosta Times. Tbe Atlanta Herald speaks of Hon. S. A. Roddcnbory, of Thomas, as “Roddenbery.” Roddenbery is one of the brightest young Democrats in the State and don’t deserve to be called Roddenbery. Editor Clark Howell, of the Con stitution, in bis article to the New York Herald, says the Democrats must ail stand on one platform. Will Mr. Howell step on too.—Sa vannah Press. The Republicans claim that tbe de- presiion throughout the country was the cause of the late Democratic de feat. The statement is true, and it is also true that the Republican party caused the depression. Alexander Beckivell, a negro, who died in New Orleans last week at the age of 100 years, was said to he of< royal Afrieau blood. He was enticed away from his home while » hoy by slave traders, and sold to a Virginia planter, whose name be took. The headline artist of the daily pa per sometimes compresses an editori al evprcssioo into a single sentence. For example this, the morning after the election: “Maynard loses New York; bis nomination costs the party the entire State.” The proposed ship canal across the Florida peninsula, a final survey of which is about to be made, will he about 300 feet wide and some 15tt miles in length. It will shorten the distance from New Orleans to Liver pool almnt 600 miles, antlressels will save the dangerous voyage around, the Florida keys and Bahamas with the high iasnranr* rates now exacted OURSELVES AND NEIGHBORS. The panic of 1893 is a thing of the past. Good bye old panic, good bye. Sunday’s edition of tbe Atlanta Herald was very fine indeed. The Herald gets better every day. If our Qnitman friends want artesian water we edvise them to contract with Joyce and Finn. Judging from tbe sixty columns of marshal sales of Atlanta property advertised in the Constitution a few days ego for city taxes, we conclude that the repeal of the purchasing clause has not brought relief to that city yet. The Darien Timber Gazette says through trains will be running to Sa vannah on the South Bound by tbe first of the month. Brunswick will soon be free from the terrible microbe. Sbe will have a general overhauling and cleaning up aud then go to work Macon is making a strong pull for new manufacturing industries. Parties are prospecting for an' tbracite coal in the neighborhood of Powder Springs, with fair prospects of success. It is reported that the Georgia Legislature has caused a peanut famine in Atlanta. Jacksonville is putting up a good deal more for a prize fight than she did for the Brunswick sufferers. And now we hear of another up rising in Cuba. As a rule the upris ings in Cuba don’t amount to much. The press of the State is unani- mousein its advocacy of an increase in the salarks of the Superior court judges. Cairo, in Thomas county, after being a dry town for several years, has now gone wet. We are sorry for Cairo. It is to be hoped that the authori ties of Florida will see to it that no brutal slugging match takes place in that State. The Grand Lodge of Masons in session at Macon last week expelled, a brother for getting on a spree. They did him right. The Boston World says the Bos ton and Albany R. R-, under the management of Dr.Mallettc, is a pay ing institution. In the New York Legislature the Republicans will have a majority in the Senate of six and in the House a majority of twenty on point-ballot. The New York World says ‘‘it was the Democratic party and not Demo cracy that suffered defeat.” Then let Democracy and the Democra’.ic parly get together. General Jack Frost to the sea this winter will be greeted with consider ably more delight, says the Gaines ville Herald, than the march of Gen eral Sherman in the same direction Speaker Crisp of the House of Re presentatives says he has cause to be lieve that tbe House will, at tbe regu lar session, vote to take off tbe ten per cent tax on State banks. In tbe States of Michigan and New York women were not allowed to vote at Tuesday’s election, the Su preme court in each State baring de clared tbe laws which grant female suffrage in those states to be uncon stitutional. Speaker Crisp says that the tariff on whiskey and tobacco will be in creased. Put-' tbe tax up on these two articles and reduce it on cloth ing and “sich ” We must have ctotHiog, but we nre not obliged to smoke and drink.—Darien Gazette. The Tifton Canning and Manufac turing Company shipped a car load of their goods a few days since to fill an order in Cincinnati, Ohio. Samples sent to Birmingham, Ala., brought an order for fifty cases. All goods bearing the “Tifton Brand” will always stand the test for quality. - Gazette. Be itsaid to the everlasting credit of the voters of Chicago, without re gard to party, that they elected Judge Gray, tbe man who tried and passed sentence on the Haymarkel anarchists. Governor AItgeld par doned some of tbe gang recently and lent himself to the unholy work of trying to'defeat Judge Gray. The whole country will be glad to know that the'Governor failed ia his un patriotic work. ■ueh to Be Thankful For. Waycross has much to be thankful for to-day. Look around at the health and prosperity of the city, its churches, its schools, its happy people aud its grow ing improvement^. We have no bar rooms here and we are happy without them. Surely ours is a favored town and how thankful we should be for the many blessings we enjoy. King Alfred’s Dying lYords. My dear son, sit thee down beside me, and I will deliver thee true instruction. I feel that my hour is coming. My countenance is wan. My days are almost done. I shall go to another world, and thou slialt be left alone iu all my wealth 1 pray thee strive to be a father aud a lord to thy people. Be thou a father to the children aud a friend to the widow. Comfort thou the poor, shelter the weak, and with all thy might right that which is wrong. Govern thyself by law; then shall the Lord love thee, and God above all shall be thy reward. Call upon him to advise thee iu all thy need, and he shall help-thee iu all thou under-' takest. Y0UMANS & GERBER 11FALERS IN , pop, JEWELRY, SILVE-RW7VRE, Etc.

She should have had it long ago and other things beside. Quitman is situated in the best farming section in South Georgia, but somehow or somehow else, for the past few years her enter prises have not succeeded and she has not kept up with the procession. We are glad to see her coming to the lront now. If she wants an artesian well and will employ Joyce and Finn, the gentle men who bored our well, she will cer tainly get it. 3E1EPAXH.IKTG JFine and Complicated JVatchett aSpecialty. df Write for prices. A Turkey Hunt. Mr. W. A. Paschal, manager of the tobacco farm three miles from town, de serves tlie ribbon as a turkey hunter. In three days last week lie killed ten fine turkeys in the river swamp near his home. Six of the turkeys were gobblers and the other four were hens. They were all fine and fat. Now if Mr. Pas chal should take it into his head to try it again about Thanksgiving day and send one to the Herald office, the thing would indeed be complete. Peace on Earth, Good Will Towards Men. *' God pity the pei-son who is trying to go through life carrying in his heart a load of enmity and malice towards his fellow man, but blessed is he who can relieve himself of the burdeu and ex claim “peace on earth, good will toward men.” For him who “nurses his wrath to keep it warm” life is scarcely worth living. We have no time to spend in unnec essary bickerings in resenting imagina ry insults* and in harboring malice. The Master has said “another command ment give I unto you, that ye love one another.” Let us follow this Divine command, that wc may be happy in this life and have an assurance of that “peace that passeth understanding” in the life to come. “Peace on earth, good will to ward men.” Something Pretty. A few days ago Mr. F. C. Harrison was buried, and one day this week the Cemetery Keeper, on his usual rounds of inspection, found that woman's hands, like an angel’s steppings, had done its work. The grave was a beauty, and those whom he loved in life remembered him in death. The mound that marks his resting place was covered with tiny sea-shore shells, and on one side were the letters “H A R,” on the end was “I,” and on the other side, east, were “S O N.” So plain that anyone can find the grave of the departed veteran. Flowers, like diamonds, were the settings, and all shows us that little acts of love like this toward the resting places of tbe dead re minds us that even death docs not s the chain that links the hearts of the living. Live on old friend, live forever. Thy memory stands the storms of time,- And will not die—no never. Waycross, Ga. Pretty Cheeky. ' Charles Coglau, the actor, who was married to a v.oung lady in Indiauapolis the other day, admits that he has another wife, but claims that no legal ceremony binds them. The Nashville Banner in this connection, most justly remaks: • “And this man who makes with a complacent smirk the villainous confession that he lias heartlessly -aban doned the woman who, for twenty-five years he introduced to the public as bis wife, invites decent people to patronize him and honor him .Jn his profession. Such a man deserves the public condem nation in such a practical way that he should be. forced to hide his head in shame and retire from the stage.” Styles, the colored member of the Georgia Legislature, from Liberty- county, wants better railroad ac- t ommodafisni for the aolored race.
