St. Petersburg’s water supply is
found to contain only 300 germs to
tbe cubic centimeter, although tbe
source from which the supply is ob
tained contains bacteria to tbe number
of 10,000 per cubic centimeter. Inves
tigation shows that tbe destruction of
tbo germs is due to tbe rapid motion
of tbe water where it leaves tbe main
scouroe of supply. Acting upon this
discovery, a noted engineer recently
omployed a centrifugal machine,
which bo constructed hastily, dud
found that ufter subjecting tbe impure
water to actiou for one hour the
number of germs was reduced 90 per
cent. Upon basis of this experiment
it would seem possible to clear n city’s
water Bupply by subjecting it to a
centrifugal motion.
Tbo State Agricultural Convention
met in Marietta this week. Below we
give sotqb extracts from tbe varipns
spoecbes delivered, that are readable
indeed:
MAYOR SESSIONS* WELCOME.
* t- * "I say, now, whatever yon
see about Marietta that yon want, and
think nobody else wants, take It
along. (Laughter.) We are not afraid
to risk yon, particularly as it is a 'dry
town,’ and you can’t' get bold of any
bad whiskey. We know you won f t
take anything yon don’t want. And
if any of yon are found wandering
around bomeless, and are taken in by
tbe Marshal and brought before me
as Mayor, I will assign yon to tfae best
borne we have, and when yon are dis
charged you will say you were never
iu a better jail in your life 1" (Great
laughter.)
COL. peek’s' response.
“Mr. Mayor and Gentleman of the
Cobb County Agricultural Associa
tion—It is with pleasure that I arise
to tbank yon for tbe cordial welcome
yon have extended to this convention
of Georgia farmers. Last spring
when Cobb connty, tbroagb its dele
gates at Brunswick, .invited as to
to meet with you, your reputation
for hoapituiity, progressive agricul
ture, beautiful women, pore water,
pare mountain air, and—pure 'moan-
tain dew,’ which South Georgia loves
so well, all other invitations were for
gotten and \ye resolved to come to
Marietta. No city of your numbers
excels you in all that makes a city
beautiful and prosperous; no county
is abreaet of yon ia developing your
great resources; and we deem it an
honor to be your guests. We are
here from tbe seasboro to tbe lofty,
craggy mountains, from tbe Savannah
to the Chattahoochee; we are here
representing a State with more diver
sified productions than any other ia

’Tis said that “an old fool is tbe

episode from an exchange will very
well sustain tbe idea: In Sparta there

Pinkney, a widower 70 years old, with
a bachelor son forty years old.

year-old dangbter, appeared in town
and opened a millinery establishment.
Tbe son tbiohs tbe widow a good find,
marries ber, and tabes her and daugb
ter Eva to the Pinkney mansion. In
a short time tbe old gentleman and
tbe girl, by some strange fascination
are drawn together, and begin to de

One morning she was missing, and so
was tbe old gentleman, and all the ex

“You have beard it said that this
society is ‘a political machine.’ We
deny it, but we admit that politics
have come to that 1 condition it few
times in Georgia, libo in tbe time of
Cincinnatus, when there was not
enough consistency among the poli
ticians to give hope to the people,
when our ranks were drawn upon and
the country saved! [Laughter nnd
applause.] But we dou't want to
make the natiou’s laws; we want to

make their laws we would nil be to-dnv

Tbe Congregational church, North,
is about to establish in Quitman,

childreo, particular girls. Tbe Free

Rev. J. H. Parr, who ia to be in
charge, says:
The school here is to be a boarding
school for colored girls and if tbe
accommodations are sufficient boys
nre to be admitted as dav scholars.
Mr. Parr is to bavo five assistants.
The Allen House has been donated
by Mrs. Alien to tbe association to be
used far tho purpose mentioned. The
school ia to be opened about lbs first
of October next. Iu addition to read
ing, writing, grammar, and tbe Eng
lish branches tbe girls are to taught
good behavior, morality, aud also be
iustructed iu the mysteries of tbe
laundry, tbe kitchen and tbe sewing
room. Mr. Parr agrees with tbo
writer, i. e., that if the negro race is
over to be elevated the work of re
form must commence with the “fo
male woman." If be and bis friends
can do anything to improve tbe col

for if ever a wretched dims of human

It is highly prooable that an at
tempt to amend the local option bill
by providing for prohibition in tbe
rural districts aud high license in tbe
cities will tend to defeat the bill. It
may be that those who are advocating
this sort of an amendment are sin
cere in thinking Unit prohioitioD can
not be made effective in the cities,
even though a very mauked majority
of the citizens favor it; but it. is doubt
ful if they are so much iu favor of the
temperance cause Ihnf, if they cannot
get tbe proposed nmendmeut, they are
willing to accept tbe bill its it is. a
Tbe bill is not certain to pass by *
any means. Indeed, it. has reached
that stage in its progress at which it
is in tbe greatest danger of defeat.—
All sorts of obstructions Will now be}
thrown in its way. There are great”
interests at stake—interests, perhaps,
that tbe public knows nothing about
—aud extraordinary efforts will be
made to protect them. The time bas
come whether or not all tbe professed
friends of tbe bill are its real friends.
Tbe temperance people nre clenrly
not convinced that in legislating
ou tile liquor question it is advis
able to deal with city people
differently than with country
people. Tbe fact that they
have made no such distinc
tion iu tbeir bill shows that
they are not If, therefore, nil Htnend-
mendment providing for high license
in cities should be tacked on the bill,

shape, would tbe temperance people,

It seems to be admitted thnt if the
Legislature refuses to pass tbs local
option bill its friends will organize
and make prohibition an issue in the a
next State campaign. What reason *
is there for thinking that they will
not do tbe same thing if a temper
