A census bulletin relative to the financial condition of counties in the United States gives some in teresting statistics concerning the indebtedness of the counties _ of Georgia.. Georgia connties are better off than those of any other southern state except Louisiana. That state has the greatest decrease in county indebtedness in the last ten years, and Kentucky the least, while Texas shows alarge increase. The figures for Georgia are eon- Biderably larger than those of ten years ago. North Carolina stands last on the list of percentages of increase, showing an advance of 6 per cent In 1880 Kentucky held first place as to the amount of bonded debt recorded from the counties; in1890 Texas holds the most prominent position, with a bonded debt of $6,166,072. Geor gia had the smallest bonded debt in 1880, but this position has been accorded to Louisiana for 1890. The totals show an increase of 15 per cent, in the bonded debt of the south ernstates as a geographical group. There has been an increase ■ of eighty-three counties in these states during the past ten years, sixty-six of . them being in Texas.

The Confederate Survivors home in Atlanta contains 60 rooms and will accomodateabout250 persons. Most people are willing that charity should begin at home, but when it comes to reform—that’s different. The Mormons are gaining a foothold in the Canadian North west, and it is believed will make trouble for the Government. The Chicago Sun predicts that the standing armies of Europe will be disbanded before many years, and the public debts wiped out. During the past fiscal year ex ports from the United Stales reach ed the highest figure ever known, viz., $858,000,000, value of imports for the same time, $780,000,000.

The increase is due to new is sues of improvement bonds in dif- ferent counties, Chatham county alone having issued $100,000 worth for a new court house.
