This town of our* claims ten thousand
people. It is certain that our population
ia not very far ahort of this handsome
number. Well, now, cau anyone name
a city of a corresponding size with few
er marriageable ladie* in what is known
aa aociety V Can any ene call to mind a
city uf similar pretension* with fewer
marrying young men. An answer tothes.i
interrogatories, I grant, is very import
ant, but the facta on which they arc
baaed are terribly significant.
It would be impossible to get up n
“German” with a dozen couule* n* par
ticipants without prassing into service a
few married ladies, or calling on the
stranger* within our midst, or soliciting
the help of the students. There are
time* when the town is uncomfortably
filled with visiting belles mid beaux.
We write of every day society, and do
not refer to those gala occasions when
the beauty and chivalry of the common
wealth graco our banquet halls.
nc w courthouse for the conrenfece of
the few intelligent, upright and good
men, and wo can add, eatimable men,
whom the jury commissioners have de
clared are the only citizens capable and
qualified to serve as jurors.
If one wishes to read a sickening at
tempt at wit and humor, we would sug-
jrust the Kditorn’ Drawer of Harper’!
Magazine for February. The anecdotes
or whatcrer name one chooses to dignify
them bf, sre so old that their authondiip
i« a matter of unanimous uncertainty.
The Drawer has a reputation for publish
mg good things, butifthfc present selec
tion i* any index as to w hat the public
may expect in the months to come, we
very much fear this department of an
excellent magazine will not have many
readers. The poem, “Love’s Going,” by
Mr. Charles W. Coleman, Jr., an old col
lege acquaintance in Virginia, is conclu
sive evidence that he whom many es
teemed as n fool of a harmless disposi
tion ha* the laugh on his former associ
ates.
lion. Howell Cobb, the presiding judge
of the city court of Clarke county, is an
excellent poultry fancier. The Judge
is not only successful with his chickens,
but he writes learnedly and eloquently
the Southern Farmer of the various
breeds and their origin, together with
their characteristic habits. He knows
the breed that nre noted for their laying
inclination*, lie is familiar with the vari
ety that are good “sitter*,” nnd can with
jual facility f,tit his blind on those who
re noted for their motherly care nnd
ntchfulncss. Judge Cobh’s articles are
full of interest to those interested in
chicken culture, and he gives facts and
figures to show that the business is prof
itable in the highest degree. According
to the showing mado in the Southern
Farmer, there i*; more money in chicken*
than in cotton.
Our society is made up almost entirely
of the old, middle-aged, at any rate, the
married people. The average entertain
ment at private mansions reveals the
presence of few young ladies and fewer
young men. The truth of the matter i*
then nre not mtnv of theyoung of the
Athene cou d he made a beautiful city.
Ft i* not by any means worthy of that
iljective now. With the strecd* of vary
ing width, the sidewalks broad ami
smooth in one plaqp and narrow and im
passable in had weather in another, with
triangular lots at the intersection of
streets, whereon unsightly shanties
stand, there is great room for improve
ment. Tii« work of beautifying must,
of course, go on gradually, and no one
expect* it to he done in a year. While
the city is yet small and real estatecoin-
paratively lou, would it not he a good
idrtt for the authorities to purchase
twenty five or fifty acre* for the pur
pose of making a park? This i* a sug
gestion for which we are not responsi
ble, but which w*» heartily endorse for
the foil-

But » few years hence a welcome
change will manifest itselfin our social
life. Coining on in all tho freshness of
youth, with a full promise of a beautiful
and glorioua maturity, are a host of
lasaea who will revive the famous repu

“Whatlathe marriageable age for wo

other day. Ha said aomethingabout not
having seen ona too young or too old to
enter wadded life. When he became
• serious be palled from hia pocket a ta
ble of statistics, allowing the age at
which 786 women married. ltjis too
lengthy to insert here, but a few remarks
will gire an idea to those who" are curi
ous. The largest numbor were married
at 20 years, one was wedded at 3U, there
were none older than 39 who changed
their condition. The youngest married
at 13, and there were threo who took
upon themselves the responsibilities of
matrimony at that tender age. Tho ma
jority were wedded between tho ages of
16 and 22. lfy acquaintance declared
that no woman should marry befoto 23
and tha minimum of man’s age should
be 35.

is to go by Harmony (trove; if Mr. How

Macon ,V Athens roaches the city, and
the Classic City ltailway resumes opera

will need a city park some day.

The speech of Hon. Walter B. Hill, of
Macon, before th** literarj societies of
the University last July has been pub
lished in pamphlet form, and i* attract
ing wide spread attention. His subject,
“Anarchy and Socialism, the Storm
Clouds of tho Century,” i* one in which
every one i* intensely interested, and
haa mado itself the problem upon which
thinking tnen are expending much brain
work. It is said that Dr. A. A. Lips
comb regards l)r. Hay good’s speech, Mr.
Hill’s oration and Mr. Grady’s utterances
on the New South ns the Jbreo most
notable addresses of the day. We learn
that the next number ©f the Sunny
South, of Atlanta, w ill contain the learn
ed Doctor’s comment* and views upon
these addresses.
A well know club man was idly smok
ing a cigarette in the billiard room of
tha Atbemeum the evening of the club’s
literary entertainment ilia attitude
was ane indicative of profound thought
and an acquaintance asked:
“What are you thinking about 9 ”
“I am thinking how many of those
people down stairs will be absent from
our next meeting.”
“And why?’
“Have you noticed their disappointed
look already. Tha cardinal principles
of society in this town—an intensely
practical sort of society with no foolish
ness about—is, in the forcible vernacular
of the West “nothing to eat no go.”
And wager* were immediately made a*
to the rise of the next audience, but the
young men were compelled to go to the
pavement as the club does not permit
vbetting.
The public are familiar with the kill
ing of ono Kilpatrick by Dr. Fdrd, in
Now Orleans, a month or so ago. Kil
patrick had robbed l>r. Ford's home of
its domestic peace and happiness, had
brought shame to innocent children and
'lishonor to a faithful husband, and when
Ford hunted him down and shot him as
he would a dog, no man could be found
who would say that he did other than
right. Dr. Ford was arrested, and a few
days ago was brought to trial. There
was no jury in all Louisiana which would
have convicted him, and yet this high-
toned matt, to sa^his children front the
knowledge of their mother's infamy,
plead guilty. Under the law the judge
must sentence him to a term in prison,
hut if the Louisians, executive does not
exercise the pardoning power he will
find it difficult to bear the public disap
proval.
