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- A QUESTION ABOUI Browns Iron Bitters ~ANSWERED.

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.

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.
