Why not? Learning to bio w a cornet may be pleas ant to the performer, but it is death on the hearers, Atlanta is making better preparations for the can of her indigent sick people. Athens should imitate her example. In fapt Athena has made no preparations whatever.

The harvest home has done and ia still doing a great deal for the poor. There ought to be a permanent organisation with an investigating com mittee from all tho churches.

A decided sensation was created in Atlanta Tuesday by a Texas pony throw ing a man over a large wagon and land' ing him on a sidewalk fifteen feet away. We will wager all that wa are worth, that if one of our little street car mulea had anything like aa fair a showing, he would throw a man over the Commercial Hotel. At least their setivity would sug gest their ability to do ft, when seme one is trying to back them np to a ear. - a ’ i .. m LiB— : - wnrmmu coeeksfowdist. The B.-W. has a correspondent at Winterville who will give all the news in that sdetion, provided he can find paper to write on.

Lane, of Athens, to the Miiiedgeviiie Recorder. Dr. Lane is one of purest'men in the state, and any thing written by him will bo of interest toourresdes: “Ton have struck just the right key; no denunciation, either of liquor sellers or of anti-Prohibitionists. Many of them aro honest, honorable men. Let the whole force of the denunciation fall upon liquor itself, puro or impure, and upon the mammoth calamities that flow from Its sale. These are terribly- abund ant and do not need to be reinforced as arguments,. by denouncing men in the business PI favoring it. On tho other hand, there is reason to believe that anti-prohibition has tri umphed In a few counties in Oeorgia, because of the fierce personal denuncia tion indulged in by the ardent friends of prohibition. A great deal will depend upon the executive committee that you have appointed, and upon the response to their requests. All the speaking tal ent, whito and colored, on the prohibition side in the oounty, ought to be in readi ness to respond to the call of the com mittee for men to make prohibition ad dressee ell over the county, by appoint ment of the committee. Our Clarke county experience wee, that it was best to send by previous appointment, two or three speakers Stt least to every point where a crowd of voters, white or color ed, could be gathered. Do you ask, is prohibition a incests io Clarke. oounty ? Yes, more of a success than ia the petal code of Georgia. Prohibition does not extinguish entirely the drinking of liquor; nor does the penal code entirely extin guish crime, but it greatly lesaene the eviL” , BUMAWAY MATCHES.
