The president of France has re
signed his otiice, claiming as the
cause that he did not have the sup
port of the government in his ac
tions. The news of his resigna
tion spread like wild fire, and al
most caused paralysis throughout
France.
Jabez, Wiggin*, who created aiieh
Bn excitement in Augusta on Sunday
before Christinas, by killing two po
liceman,weun ling another and killing
a bystander, has been tried, found
gnilly and seatencced to be hanged.
Law and order prevailed in this

tnoctod oat to the wrong doer.
Gorman and Hill have locked

Sto uproot Gorman Jsadsr
greuate* and the limes are
on old time cnstores and new
fangled ideas. Gorman is for the
former and Hill for the Utter. It
remains to be seen who will tv ip.

Itf Haralsonville, an aged
couple, the husband being 07 and
tho wife 60, who had been living
together since 1850 were divorced.
There were 10 children, the issue of
the marriage, and all were in oourt
to testify for the mother. The
judge remarked that from a legal
standpoint; desertion and nonttip
port being alledged, ho would bo
compelled to grant the divorce, but
in handing down the decree he
scoied tho old couple, and they
were compotled to sit and listen.
Hon. Thomas G Lawson our
able representative in Congress,
has introduced a bill to establish a
division of the U. S. district
court at Athens. The promises are
good for the bill to become a law',
as Speaker Crisp will give it the
right-of-way through the house
aad Senator Walsh will engineer
it through the Senate. It is not
long until Congress will adjourn,
but is hoped that this hill will
become a law, as it will be a greit
convenience to the citizens of this
part of the State.
This is the year for economy.
Economize all s]ong the line.
Live on as Jittlo as possible, and
you will not have so much to pay
when the cotton crop is made.
People can live on a great deal
less than they think, when it is
neccessary, and it has about couie
to the point where it is neccessary
to do eo. Make every edge cut
that you can, for there is mote in
saving than in making. Economy
is the watchword, and if you will
act on this line you will profit
greatly by it.
The government now requires
those who have private b6xes at
the postoffire here to pay 100. per
quarter rent. Several years ago
our citizens bought a. case of 60
boxes and put them up at the of
fice, purtly for their own conveni
ence . Now the govern men t comes
under a recent law and confiscates
this property, and says that the
parties who own these boxes, if
they uee them, must first pay 15c
per quarter. This lias caused a
good deal of vigorous kicking on
the part of the patrons of the
office, and they now take their
mail from the general delivery'and
the boxes are marked “vacant.”

by giving it the name of the Na
tional Protective Cotton Growers
Association, elected officers, pass
ed by-laws, etc. If is provided

We mean by this the full $1.25 to

Jeptha had a fight. It seems that
Dr. Banks had wrtten Dr. Sorrells

sult., and wrote Ranks another.
When Ranks got the noto from
Sorrells, became to see Dr. Sor
rells, and called him out of his
office, to talk the matter over, In
the course of the conversation
'Banks gave Sorrells the d— lie,
immediately after which Sorrells
knocked him out of the buggy
with a rock. R L Brooks who
was with I>r. Banks, held DT.Sor
rells, while other friends infer
ed. Brooks and Dr. Banks left
for home at-once.

Madison’s Gold.
Gold is Still beiug taken from
the Ri dgeway und Carrington
mines in the lower part of 'this
county. If these mines were only
developed, gold could be found in
paying qiinntitea.
The hills of old Mndisoh hold
all kind of ores and if capital in
sufficient quantities could be had
to develop it, there is no telling
how rich she is. The gold taken
from these mines is of the finest
quality, and the parties who own
them have a bonanza.
