The local pa per comes in closest contact with the masses of the people; it is part of the people. We are proud of our great dailies, but the country press builds up every nerve, feeds every vein, supports every fibre and makes the great body of the state : stroug and healthy.” He referred to how the local papers had stood to the people in e.very emergency and how some of the best reforms in Georgia were brought about through its influence. “Let wrong and corruption show its head,” said he, ‘’and . the weekly press stands ready to crush; let jobbery, or fraud be attempted, the weekly press sounds the alarm, the people .take up the cry, and the effort dies in its- conception. There is no subsi dy for the country press of Geor gia, It upholds the right, and just, and true, without fear or favor:” To labor for these.people, to rep resent them, and fitly represent them, is the brightest dream which- fills our lives. Will you not give them aid and encouragement in their holy work? They are the ad vance guard in the great march of progress. Will you stimulate them with your kindest words and sub stantial assistance? I wish that I had the power to ring into every heart in Georgia the great necessi ty which exists for ’the support of their local papers.

The great commercial heart of Georgia throbs, and.from the iron depths of the everlasting hills;- from the bending fields of golden grain; from the vast acres where the green grass springs up wards to the dew oniheaven; from the murmuring rivers rushing to the sea; the rich blood is sent whirling back until every nerve and fibre tingles with the electrical fluid of, unparalleled prosperity. The God of plenty hovers over our grand commonwealth. From border to border He is speeding to day. 'He is delving into the moun tains arid the, sparks, from the hoofs of his flying steeds have en kindled a thousand furnace fires, leaping upward to the skies. He is rushing over the low lands and his approach it heralded by the music of the lowing herds. He is passing over the uplands and thb fields reflect the golden hue of his costly chariot. He hovers over all Georgia to-day and the flash of glittering trappings is the music of peace and prosperity! Let us welcome his coming with outstretched arms. It is your duty and it is bur’s! Oh^Cebrgia, our beloved mother! Leaving thy feet in the swelling tides; bathing thy brows in the breath of the moun tains, thou art our pride and our joy! Never may tongue of ours speak of thee save to laud thy praise;, never may pen of ours write of thee save tb chronicle th^fwon- drous resources; never may hand of ours be raised save in ffiy de fense and to advance thee in the great march where progress leads and enterpise follows and prospers ity is the goal. .

The ginger cake began swelling, and in half an hour it had risen so high that it looked like a single wardrobe of mahogony laid on its back on the shelf. A regular fourth of July darkey stood gazing sorrowfully upon the risen'mass of “spiled” sweetness, He was an old man, a sage among his people. He wore the regulation black suit, second-hand ed and faded, while his head was adorned by a. broken down beaver hat that had done service in ante bellurn days. J The old man sighed.very audibly as a Journal reporter came up. “What’s the matter, old man?” asked the reporter. “Ha! Lawd, boss, I hates ter see all dat sweetnin’ stuff sp’iled an’ hit de fofe er July, too.” . “Ho yog know what the fourth of July is.” , “Who, me? In course I "does.

You gwine back too fur me, boss. But I’se hear ’em tell how dey cum ter start de fofe, er July.” “How Was it?” “Well, ef I’se up on de bible, hit wuz ’bout de time Moses wuz fleet ed fust president er dese *hi united States.” ‘ No, you Are a little off there; it wasn’t Moses.” Well, wot wuz de gefamen’s name?' 1 “Don’t you know it?” “Course I,knows it, but I can’t ’member de name rite now.” “Was it Abe Lincoln?” “Yasser, he de man.

There are many negroes in town to celebrate-the fourth with no other idea of what it is than the one interviewed above. -They know it is a day of rest; gingercakes, ap ple pies, red lemonade . and sdda water, and that is sufficient for tJiem. Saethem Cultivator. As an evidence of the advance made by the United States in the direction of.prof filing its dwellers with suitable habitations*,, etp., it may be mentioned that the value of the building stone produced in the year 1888, was estimated at $25,50d,000j and that bricks and tile to the amount of §48,213,000 were made. The materials Were stack together with 49,087,000 bar-, rels of lime, valued at §24,543,500, and 6,253,295 barraels of American Cement, worth $4,533,639.

The bagging made from cotton is much lighter and is of uniform Weight. This is an advatage, be cause the weight being.always the same, it can be accurately estima ted; whereas, jute being of differ- ent weights, the tare is- based on the heavier weights. The .cotton weighs three-fourths of a politic!, and if the same amount be used as of jute, the crop of 7,600,000 bales will reqtiire|45,600,0JO yards,which will weigh 34,000,000 pounds, and costing 12J cents per pound—the maximum price—$5,700,000. By allowing two per cent for waste, in Manufacturing, the;-gross pounds of raw cotton used in making that amount of bagging yeai’ly will be 34,684,000 pounds,. or 79,360 bales of 500 pounds each. Cotton is much less inflammable than* jute, and in consequence; it ib claimed, will be entitled to a lower rate 5f ■ insurance. Cotton will weigh from six to eight pounds less than jute per bale; and it will have no lint cotton sticking to it; therefore the tare must be reduced eight pounds in eottofi wrapped in cotton bag ging. The planter will be inde pendent of the cash market for his low grades of cotton, and can ship them to native southern mills to be made into cotton bagging, at not over 3| cents per yard; and es timating such low grade cotton - at six cents per pound, three-quarters of a pound would cost 4J cents for the cotton, making 8 cents com plete; and at the lowest possible estimate at. this added independ ence of the money power to the price of cotton, together with tfie augmented utility of the lowest' grades and increased demand, with the consequent shortage . in total crop produced by this manufact ure, the price of the entire cotton crop could not fail to be very ma terially augmented. This is va riously estimated at from J of a cent to 1J cents per pound. But say the very lowest,^or J cent per pound increase ,dn the entire crop. The encouragement of domestic manufactures from domestic 'ma terial, will also stimulate the mar ket for domestic food products. Among the many congresses to be held during the Paris exhibi tion, there will be one on athletic education, and its promoters have addressed a circular to the heads of English schools and semina ries. M. Jules Simon and those who signed with him, recognizing the deficiency of Athletic training among the French youthj ask the English sehoolkeepers to attend the congress or to answer certain question^. For example, the head master is requested to enumerate the games played at school, and give the chief: rules. How many hours do the boys play a day or a week? What percentage attend gymnastics, fencing, military drill, rowing, bicycling? Are the boys allowed to form sporting associa tions? The French nation ; seenis to be in earnest about making its young men go to the cricket grounds for their exercise instead of to the boulevards. A writer to the New York Week ly says: * Now, a chronic borrower is a deadly.. nuisance in any communi ty. A woman who is always “just out” of saleratus will stir up more trouble in a neighborhood • than a mad dog and a flock of fifteen hens and a rooster. She will run in oh you at any and all hours, and want to borrow just a little sugar or spice, till she can sOiid to the grocer’s. She did not know she was. anywhere near out until she went about her cook ing, and then found she hadn’t a dust of sugar in the lioirie, and not > soul abound' anywhere that she could send out after any. She will tell you that she does so hate to trouble you; for if ; there is anything on earth she does dis like to do it is^o borrow—and she never does it when she can helprit;. bat now her pie Crusts were all oh the plates, and she was obliged to, because she could not|gspare the time to run to the gro'cer’s. And she will sit down in your kitchen and stop, half an hour, and talk about everybody in town; and meanwhile she will take an ac count of everything her eyes fall on, and she will see behind your stove the cobwebs that- m you forgot to brush down this morning;’ and she will notice the old boots that your husband left on the woodbox to dry, .and she will 'see that your lamp chimneys have not been washed, and that you dishes are in the sink; and that you had ham for breakfast by . the spatter of grease on the stove; and when she goes into some other neighbor’s house on a borrowing expedition she will give a report , of what sh4^ saw iii your kitchen, and swear the neighbor over to eternal secrecy regarding it; and the consequence will be that in a week it .will be all over the town that your' folks live on ham, and that you are the most untidy housekeeper on the footstool When the borrower returns what she borrows it is always in a little’ smaller measure, if indeed she returns it at alL; and you may congratulate yourself if you get back the half of what belongs to you. Greensboro Herald-Journal. Too Many Lawyers. Quite a number of large build ings have bdeh built in eastern cities with hollow bricks. They are said to stand the same pres sure up to 30,000 pounds, that the best solid brick will stand. They cost pne-third less than the solid form, and make the walls proof against fire, moisture aiid frost, being warm in winter and cool in summer. The brick are set on end, thus making a wall hollow from top to bottom. .Whales are reported unusually numerous along the Maine shore. A Boston steamer Captain says that,on a late trip it looked as if the boat wore running into a bed of rocks over which tfie 3ea was breaking.

Black, son of the distinguished The census of 1880 showed that there were 70,000 lawyers in the United States, or one to 715 peo ple, including women and chil dren. In France, the same year the proportion. was one lawyer to" each 6,667 of the. population. The question to settle is whether we have too many or too few. As we are vastly more prosperous than France, it may be inferred that we have just the right num ber, or that having prospered so greatly with 70,000, -we ought to double the number. O.ur protec tionist friends, finding prosperity co-existing with an abundance of lawyers, might with their usual logic argue that the lawyers had produced the prosperity, but for the fact that they have epInmitted , themselves to the proposition that everything we have of Valne is due to tfie protective tariff.

A; dog law will pass the Georgia legisla ture at the. adjourned -session, or the principle will-fie made - , an is sue in the election of representa tives in the next. . • > < > ' - . '• . ; The whole matter sifted down is simply'this. ‘ The state is overrun with a lot of worthless dogs which go mad through hunger, threaten human life, and destroy hundreds of dollars worth ef sheep annually. They are of no earthly good, and even their mastei^ think of them only when the time conies for a rabbit hunt—the balance of the time they may. shift for themselves. A great industry has been crip pled by these dogs, and. the only way in which we can rid the coun try of them is by taxation. Other states have adopted such laws. Geqrgia should do it. If a dog is of any pleasure, protection or prof it to a man, he should be as will ing to pay a tax upon him as he is upon a horse. No man who has a valuable dog will refuse. So great has become the inter est in this question that the faim ers alliance in some counties are taking action open it, and a great petition will doubtless be present ed to tfie next legislature of Geor gia for tfie epaetinent. of, a dog law, and if tfie legislature of Geor gia refuses to act, the farmers and the people will be heard from later. Georgia must have a dog law. One of the best of absent-mind ed stories relates to a man who came across an'item in a newspa per to the effect that a gold watch of a certain make and numbered 13,516, had %een taken from a thief the. night, before. Throwing the paper down he jerked his own watch oiit of his pocket with the remark: “By George! I be lieve that was my watch that wes taken from that follow!”- and fie proceeded to examine the number on the inside of the case. When he recovered his presence of mind he “said something.” Do right for right’s sake, and not for what people, will think or say of you. There is grandeur and beauty in the life of either the man or the woman who is too proud, to true, to do a mean, act, but when they find, a task in duty’s path which the world considers degrading, they slight it not, but proudly scorn the worlds opinion, and do the right The sugar trust up to May 1st cleared $6,230,000.
