The New York Press calls Mr.

The country rejoices with Bruns

McKinley is the logical republican

The people will be satisfied with

The management of the yellow

been confined to narrow limits.
The coal and iron men will resist

Republicans have become so accus

The McKinley tariff law may be
well entitled a law for the building
of baronial estates and the establish

It most and will be repealed and a
democratic tariff put in its place.
That tariff will be on the old line,
we hope, of “Equal rights for all

A NATAL RESERVE FOR GEORGIA.
The First Steps to Organize a Com
pany Taken at Brunswick.
Brunswick, Ga„ Nov. 15.—About
forty citizens met to-day to organize a
naval reserve. O. P. Goodyear was
elected chairman and J. R. Thompson
secretary. All present enrolled their
names and by a unanimous vote elected
Capt. G. H. Merrifield lieutenant com
manding. Capt. Merrifield immediately
organized his list of crews and forwarded
them to Adjutant General Kell and Gov.
Northen for approval. If the law au
thorizing the naval reserve is passed,
the action of the meeting will be con
sidered by the gentlemen it was referred
to. The revival of the feeling in regard
to the naval reserve in Georgia is due to
Capt. Merrifield’s personal efforts, aided
by Gen. Kell and Capt. Raderick, of At
lanta. Brunswick hopes to secure it.
A Pathetic Leave-Taking.
A correspondent of the Ram’s Horn
states that a certain country minister
took permanent leave of his congrega
tion with the following remarks:
“Brothers and sisters, 1 come to say
good-bye. I don’t think God loves this
church very much, because none of you
ever die^ I don’t think you love each
other, because I never marry any of
you. I don’t think you love me, be
cause you have not paid my salary; your
donations are mouldy fruits and wormy
apples, and by their fruit ye shall know
them. Brothers, I am going away from
you to a better place. I have been
called to be chaplain of a penitentiary.
Where I go ye cannot come, but I go to
prepare a place for you and may the
Lord have mercy on your souls. Good-
bve.”—Ex.
Miss_ Julia Force, the Atlanta
murderer, now in the asylum at
Milledgcville, refuses to see visitors
and when she goes out on the
grounds of the institution, wears a
heavy veil.
The Atlanta Journal has a scare
head in Tuesday’s issue which reads:
“Let Woman be Silent.” Let? By

genarian chanticleer, whose been pre

Our Senior, who is just back from
the Augusta Imposition, reports that
the most noticeable thing on the
grounds, was the number of pretty
girls This report plainly indicates
that a man never gets too old to look
at the girls.
Georgia now has another railroad
on its hands. The Northeastern
cost Georgia $260,000 and is not
worth more than $100,000. The best
thing Georgia can do with her rail
roads is to make H. B. Plant a pres
ent of the whole outfit.
It is expected in Washington that
Mr. Blount’s Hawaiian report will be
given to tbe public as soon as infor
mation is received from Honolulu of
the action of Minister Willis, under
his iostructiocs. Mr. Blount’s report
covers 1,200 type-written pages.
Mr. R. M. Johnson, chief editor
of the Houston Post, the leading
paper in Texas, has been visiting
friends in Bainbridge. We would be
glad to see Rieuzi in tbe Magic City.
Speaking of the recent cold at
Brunswick, the Montgomery News
has this caption: “Frost an Dice
at Brunswick.” We hope Brunswick
will have nothing to do with dice for
the present.
And hard times always tells against
the party in power. It matters lit
tle whether that party is responsible.
The hard times may have resulted
directly from the policy of the party
that has been supplanted. To the
average voter that is merely theory.
He has to do with a condition. In
the present case he only knows that
the times are hard and the democrats
were in, so he was against the dem
ocrats.—Philadelphia Times. —
Newspapers that know nothing
about the subject and get hopelessly
befogged In their own absurdities
every time they attempt to discuss the
silver question, continue to prattle
about the demonetization of silver by
the repeal of the Sherman law. The
repeal of that law doesn’t demonetize
a dollar of silver and keeps in circu
lation, as good as gold, over $500,'
000,000 of the white metal.—Bain-
bridge Democrat.
Ronnd Abont in Georgia.
The Savannah Press evidently think,
that politics is a grab game. It says:
Politicians can be divided into three
classes—those who have had their grab,
those who are still grabbing, and those
who want to grab.
The North Georgia Annual Confer
ence will convene in Gainesville the
29th instant, at 9 o’clock a. m., with
Georgia’s distinguished Bishop, A. G.
Havgood, in the chair. About three
hundred and filly delegates will be
attendance.
Tbe Capitol says there is a regula
tramp camp in the vicinity of Ocala.
Why not call it “headquarters for cross-
tie tourists.” ^
All Sorts.
Abraham Lincoln’s emancipation
proclamation didn’t mention the tariff,
but no one can deny that it was the fore
runner of free wool.—Ex.
Some genius has invented a machine
to play pianos. This will give girls a
chance to help their mothers in the

Scientists now definitely place the
age of the world at 45,140,000 years.
This senate should evidently have been
born a few million years earlier in order
to have had ample time for talking.
Col. Streator, whose hanging up of
Private lams by the thumbs caused such
a furore in Pennsylvania last year, has
developed^another trait of character that
strengthens his resemblance to the late
but not lamented Butler. A few days
ago he was arrested for stealing spoons
at a restaurant in Wheeling.
It is a time honored custom in Quin
cy, Fla., to salute a newly married
couple by firing a cannon. This i3 to
remind them that the battle of life has
fairly begun.
When he begins to say it was his fault
and she begins to declare it was hers,
walk softly out of the room. That is the
kind of a difference of opinion that leads
to an agreement.—Atchison Globe.
Father: “My daughter has mysteri
ously disappeared and I have no clew.”
Detective: “Have you reared her care

will become a great artist ?” Wife: “I

good work. During the last year it fur

A Floral Phantasy.
From the Indianapolis Journal.
I am the Chrysanthemum,
I kuow I’m valler,
And sometimes vallercr;
£ut I am in it
Just the same,
I’m aware I’m built
Somewhat
After the pattern of a mop;
I am an afflorescent epitome
Of the great American spirit
Of git thar,
For I struck this country
A stranger,
Without a scent,
And no capital
Except my blooming shape,
But I stood straight up
And held my head high,
And do yet,
And to-day myself
And my descendants
Are in the floral 400
And the more
Frills
We develop
The more we’re admired.

The Tramps are Here— Nine of Them
Arrested.
Between thirty and fifty tramps were
in the S. F. & W. E. R. yards last night,
and declared their determination of
boarding a Florida bound train. They
were notified by Mr. Crawford, the yard
master, that they could not do so, Mr.
West berry, haggage master, was also on
hand and had a rough and tumble fight
with one of the number who had board
ed a freight train. The tramp came out
second best. Assistance was procured
and seven of the gang were captured. „
They were before His Honor, the
Mayor, this morning. Five of them
were fined thirty dollars each or fifteen
days on the gang, one was fined $20 or
ten days, and one $10 or five days.
Two more were captured on a train to
day and are in the calaboose. The
tramp nuisance bids fair to be worse this
season than ever before, but Mayor
Knight and our efficient police force will
be found equal to the emergency.
Tramps coming to Waycross will, be
arrested and put on the chain gang?

The Surplus in New York.
The New York banks have a surplus
of $57,000,000 above the legal require
ments and deposits are rapidly increasing.
The surplus money in New York is the
greatest in the history of the country,
with the exception of the surplus of $64,-
000,000, which was reported in 1885,
after the panic precipitated by the
Grant and Ward failure of May 1884.
The big surplus of 1385 was followed
by renewed activity in the latter half of
that year, 1886 and 1887, and cul
minating in the boom of 1887.
