Whiskey having its days num bered ia Atlanta, legislators way not bo so plentiful in future. Thanksgiving day was well celebrated in Atlanta. Col. It. Liquor’s overthrow was suffi cient cause. An Omaha woman kindly consented to have her picture taken in a group with her three divorced husbands. While thanksgiving day was being observed all over.the coun try the nation mourned. Vice- President Hendricks is dead. Two barbers ut Albany had a light last week, and as they had no patrons to carve up they sliced each other. A knife and razor were the tools. One gambler shot and killed another last Sunday at Camp Clark, Nevada. Both held four aCes, aud that was sufficient cause for the tragedy.

President Hendrick’s death J ——»- — •*- - Commenting on this sad event an estecmed contemporary says: i|fe was 66 years of age the 7th of last September. For near ly twenty-five years he had held offices of importance, and if he had been elected every time he was it candidate, be would have spent very little of bis life as a private citizen. - lie was a mem ber of the Legislature of his Stale, and a member of one ol its constitutional conventions. He was a candidate for Govern or three times aud was elected once. He was a United States Senator one term, and was twice elected Vice-President, but was defrauded of his rights the first time. In 1868 lie was support ed strongly for tho nomination of his party for the Presidency, and at each subsequent nation al convention ho had a strong following for that nomination. Since his inauguration as Vice- President his name has been frequently mentioned in connec tion with the Presidency, and it is probable that if he had lived he would have been a prom! nent candidate for the nomina tion in 1868. He was popular with his party, particularly that faction of it which does not be lieve in giving the civil service law a wider application than the framers of it iutcudcd that it should have. Mr. Hendricks’ conduct dur ing the period when the whole country was excited over tho great fraud of 1876 was admira ble. Although lie had much at stake lie did not for a moment forget that Mr. Tildeu was lead er of the party. He did nothing that indicated a lack of confi dence in Mr. Tildcn’s judgment and patriotism. He trusted to time to repair tho wrong which ha suffered, and he did not trust in vain. While he did not live long to enjoy tho honor which ought to have been his eight years before, I10 lived long enough to have the satisfaction of oeeupyiug tho place of wlneli ho lmd been deprived by fraud, and of exercising his authority over soiuo of those who helped to perpetrate the fraud. , Mr. Hendricks’ death will he deeply and generally mourned, lie was a good man and :• states man. He mao havo been am bitious, but his ambition was' an honorable ono. The good of his country was-his first considera tion. Ilis public life was mark ed by high and pure patriotism. He aimed at truth and right, and his methods of accomplish ing his purposes were those of an honest and honorable man, A Bcpublican will be chosen, doubtless, to preside over tho Senate. The Republicans have a majority of eight, and will make Senator Edmunds, prob ably tho Senate's presiding offi cer. Only one life stands be tween tho Presidency mid the Republicans, but there is a sat isfaction in the thought that it is a life that will likely last un til the people arc heard from again. the fair denizens of Savaunuh.

The Valdosta Times says that Jack Dasher, u colored man, who ^supposed to bo 106 years old, died near Cat creek several day ago. He was a harmless old dar key and had many friends among his white ncighbois. Old Jack came to that county many years ago with the Dashers. One day last week a bailiff in Worth county attempted to levy on one of tho B. <fc \V. lumber trains at Ty Ty. Tho train was on the side track, but there is a law preventing a levy on a train on the main track of a road, con sequently the train was put on the main line and the officer frustra ted thereby. Brunswick Herald • Much time and money can now bo made if our farmers begin the crop for 1SS6 in this month and December. There is and old saying that there are thirteen months in each year fur every live, cnorgctlc farmer. The-faruier who breaks his land when the vegetation i» green in the fall, will soon be able to dispense with tho buying of guano and all kinds of manufactured fertili zers. It is being urged on the Presi dent not to expose himself in any .vav by attending the funeral of the Vice President Hendricks, Mr. Cleveland owes it to the country more than to his party to take this advice. It is true that if lie were killed, the Republicans would lie temporarily restored power, and that fact would be a great tempta tion to the party that produced a Uuitcau to use foul play. Still any such act would recoil'on the party, and would kill Radicalism beyond hope of revival. To the Federal Government though, which whonld be left without any official head, the affect would lie -ieplorable.--Savannah Times. About two years ago a young man came to this country from his home in Texas to visit rela tives, and while here met a young lady with whom he immediately fell in love, and before ho return ed to the Lone Star State she had promised to become liis bride, two long ycarshad. passed during which time a regular correspon dence was kept’ up, until at last both grew tired> of waiting.

They have already marketed sev enty-five bales of cotton, averaging 527 pounds to the bale, with several more to gin and pack.
