Tho most wonderful stralght-away ride ever mado by a man was the gal lop of Francis Xavier Aubrey—dde* vant Canadian voyageur, and a fa mous Pony Express rider—from Sant* Fe, N. M., to Independence, Mo. 1853—800 miles In five days and thlr teon hours. In 1852 he had covered tho same distance In a little over eight days; and his record was on the wager of $1,000 that he "could do It In an even eight." In the whole distance he did not stop to rest; and changed horses only with every 10# or 200 miles. He was a stocky French Canadian, light hearted, genial, ad venturous and absolutely fearless, far some time he was an overland freighter; and he alao made the ei moualy dangerous and difficult drive of a flock of sheep from New Mexico to California across tho deserts of the Colorado. Ho was killed In Santa Fe. A Temptation Tor The New Counties It seems that most of the counties recently formed are in prohibition ter rlfory. These counties begin their existence handicapped financially, the taxes of last year going to the mother counties, and all of them having court, houses and jails to build and other Improvements to make. The temptation will naturally be strong for them to establish dispensaries or licensed saloons to help out financially In the face of this the action of the leading citizens and the heaviest tax payers of Tift county In resolving to keep their county dry at any coat, seems especially commendable. This promising young county is to be con gratulated upon tho moral character of her most prominent and influential citizens.—Moultrie Observer. rdty Those who have been clamoring for any years for a South Georgia man r governor, now have the opportu- show their faith by their forks. Col. Estill is at least the rjual of any candidate in the race, and f he Is elected the state will have an onest, upright business governor.— cilia Star. A BALL OF FIRE, Prank* of a Thunderbolt la a Bow la Pari*. Camille Flummariou in bis book “Thunder and Lightning" describes some of the pheuoiueua of electrical storms. Of the actions of a ball of lire In Paris he says: “It was In the Uue St. Jacques, near the Yal do Grace. The fire ball burst Into the room from the chimney, knocking over the paper guard In front of the fireplace. In ap pearance it suggested a young cat gath ered up In a ball, as It were, and mov ing along without using its paws. It approached the tailor’s legs as If to play with them. The tailor moved them away to gvofd the contact, of whfoh he naturally was In terror. “After some seconds the globe of lire rose vertically to the height of the man’s face as he sat. and ho to save himself leaned qu’ekly back* and fell over. Tho fire ball continued to rise and made its way toward a bole which had boon made at the top of tho chim ney for the insertion of a stovepipe in the winter, but which, ns the tailor put it afterward, ‘the fire ball couldn't see.' because it was Hosed up with paper. “The ball stripped off the paper neat ly. entered the chimney quite quietly and, having risen to the summit, pro duced a tremendous explosion, which sent the chimney pot flying and scat tered It in hits all over the neighboring courtyard and surrounding roofs."

Are Observing Carnation ” Day Washington, Jan. 29.—This Is "Car nation Day” and Is being generally observed at the Capitol by thousands of private citizens, office holders and risitors, wearing President McKinley's favorite flower. A great banquet was held today and carnations occupied places of honor on the desks of President and Secretary Loeb. There are lots of people—good old fashioned Democrats—In this neck of the woods, who have become disgusted with both the Atlanta candidates for governor and with their personal war fare that is being carried on from day to day in the Atlanta Constitution and Atlanta Journal, and maay of them are turning toward Col. J. Estill,—'Albany Herald. The record price for a hen wan $ald In Boston the other day, when a blue, ribbon winner In the poultry show was •old at suction for $750.

And yet ns It falls on a listening ear and leave* its message of melody earth’s green seems brighter and Ilf'* Is sweeter nil through nn autumn day. The coo of a babe Is a little thing— meaningless sound from a vacant mind. But 'tls the only sound that all na tions heed—the oue clear language that all races know. A mother’s love Is n little thing—too soou, alas, forgot! But it typifies to blind humankind the love and trust and hope divine that boar with patience calm and sweet the willful wrongs lu these lives of ours. A passing smile Is a little thing—lost in a world of toll aud care. And yet the soul with gloom oppress ed and tho life grown wearied with burdens hard will happier be In the afterglow of a smile that is warmly kind. A kindly word is a little thing—a breath that goes an ’ a sound that dies.
