church. The affair was well ar
ranged, and the children were,
greatly pleased.

been neglected but for the

Trinity Sunday school had a
Christmas tree at the church,
which was largely attended and
highly enjoyed.

ESTILL FOR GOVERNOR.
Waycross Herald: “The Her
ald is for Estill lor governor not
only because he is a South Geor
gia man, bui because he is the
proper person for the place."
TliE^t is true. Aud there is no
man in Georgia who has beon
more faithful to her interests, or
done more for her advancement
and prosper!'y. Aud, again, if
the people ever sco tit to honor
him with their confidence ho wil
nuke as gt:6d an executive offi
cer as ever was elected. But
this will hardly bo done. Some
of cur SjuiIi Gtorgia exchanges
are already finding faul’, point
ing ou.t.tlie fuct tint he is an
old man. He is an old man and
an honorable on?, t hi, and it may
be well for the country in which
these objectors sojourn if they
do not live to be old men.—

A PECULIAR SENSATION.
1 It is a singular fact,’’ said
Mr. A. Boy Kuabcnshue. “that
when onqis going as much as I 5
or 20 miles an hour in an air ship
one has no sensation of moving
whatever. The air beats
your faco as you move aloog, but
it only creates the impression
that one is standing still iu n
strong breeze. There are no oh
jocts Sving past you as when
you are traveling on the surface
of the earth, and as you must
keep your eyes lopk'ng ahead of
you you obsorve only distant ob
jects, so distant because of your
high paint of view that you ap
proach them apparently so slow
ly that you do not seem to move
at all' I cansider this one of
the queerest rensations in a trip
tkrougli the air,-and the impres
sion of scarcely moving at all is
so strong even to the most ex
perienced aernaut that it is prob
ably due to this so many of them
push their motor to the extreme
limit and it 'dies’ in consequence.
When a speed guage is invented
f ir an air ship it will cause fewer
break-d awns of motors due to
crowding power.” — St. Louis
