Wherever they exist, good pub
lie roads are a potent factor in ad
vancing material prosperity.
It is not reasonable that a re--
publican will serve a democratic
administration faithfully and well.
Turn the republicans out.’
No reasonably argument can be

•Old Winter displays absolute
heartlessDess in lingering here to
caress such a giddy thing as this
budding Spring appears to Tie.
Several Georgia postmasters
have been appointed since our last
issue, and the good work will now
go on with satisfactory regularity,
it.is hoped.
‘ A new scheduale on the Perry
Branch of the Southwestern rail
road went iuto effect last Monday
morning.
So far as the passenger service
is concerned, the schedule is satis
factory to our people, but the mail
and express service is decidedly in
convenient and unsatisfactory.
The first train leaves- Perry at
8:20 a. tn., connecting at Fort Val
ley wijh a Southwestern train for
Macou. Returning immediately,
the train reaches Perry at 10:45 a.
bringing passengers and mail
from Fort Valley and points be
low.
At 11 o’clock a. m. the train
leaves Perry again, making dose
connection with the trains from
Macon for Columbus aud Eufaula.
The last train reaches Perry at
6:35,p. m., bringing mail and pas
sengers from Macon, and points
above, and as far down as Fort
Valley.
By this schedule we do not re
ceive mail, passengers or express
from any point above Fort Valley
until 6:35 o’clock p. in. Practical
ly this defers until 'night the re
ception of pur daily papers and all
business communications from Ma
con and points above. As the bulk
of the business of Perry people is
transacted with Macon, or points
above, this schedule practically
makes us a day late in receiving
any business communications.
The'change in the departure of
the first morning train and the ar
rival of the last p. m. train gives
entire satisfaction, and if the noon
train could bring the mail from
Macon there would be no objec
tion.
As it is, our people propose to
kick, and the railroad authorities
will be petitioned to give us mail
from northern points at least as
early as has been the custom here
tofore.
If the authorities refuse to give
us the mail facilities we ask for,
our people can direct their mail to
be sent from Macon via Kathleen,
and it will be received here at 3
o’clock p. m., nearly four hours
earlier than^by the present South
western schedule.
Ip county convicts were worked
on the puhlic roads, the materia)
prosperity of the counties would
be considerably increased, and
crime would be lessened.
Some say that there should be
a patent, licker for the Columbian
< postage stamps, while others are of
the opinion that there should be a
^liberal liquor accompaniment.
It is reported from Washington
that President Cleveland has deci
ded to call the 53d congress to
gether in< extra session on,or about,
the 1st of September next. Most
emphatically a correct decision. '■
The establishment of a whip
ping post in Georgia for the pun
ishment of minor offenses against
the law would go farther toward
diitoinishing crime than all the laws
combined now on the statute books
MARRIAGE AT HENDERSON.
Our ponderous neighbor, Ten-
ineb Columbiad, thinks he has the]
solution of the immigrati6n prob-
lom. This very interesting prob
lem has been fully discussed by
all our prominent men,- including
the editors, bat it seems that their
theories were never sound. One
after another of their elaborate
and extensive schemes has utterly
failed „ Possibly the promoters of
these schemes have not been sin
cere believers in them, but rather
have aspired to a salaried appoint
ments as Immigration Commis
sioners to Sweden or Holland, with
the broad discretion of visiting
other European countries. The
.results of various expeditious of
this kind have be'en strikingly uni
form and always unsatisfactory.
The chief result in every case has
been a carefully prepared report
for publication iu newspapers
having .the largest circulation. The
retiring commissioner has seen Eu
rope and is advertised iu America.
So far as himself is concerned the
enterprise has pot been a failure.
Our friend Columbiad says that
great men are apt to‘ overlook
thingd that are perfectly simple
and clear. Complications interest
them. It dops them no special
credit to recognize obvious things.
His theory has never failed, as
have the rest. As a matter of fact
it has not been tested in our coun
try. But there is this about it—if
it should be partly tried and fail
of its particular purpose, it would
still be, in a most important sense,
a success.
Now his whole theory is com
prehended in two simple words,
namely: achieve success. Display
the .evidences of prosperity in a
country like this, and then, if you
will, build walls and dig motes
along the border, and blockade the
ports, and still the people will
dome. Display the evidences of
nnthrift and the people will not
come. They cannot be in
and they are light.
But if we have prosperity it
makes no difference whether they
come or not. If we expect foreign
ers to move in and bring success to
ourselves, we are very liable to be
disappointed. Howitzer.
Judge Julius G. Dubose, of
the criminal court of Shelbjr Coun
ty, Tenn.,‘has been impeached by
the House of Representatives of
that state. The charges involve per.
version of justice while on the
bench, and immoral practices un
dev cover of his official character/
Mr. W. M. Gordon, of Macon,
says he has* never applied for the
marshalship of the southern dis
trict of Georgia, and that he has
hot been a candidate for the place.
He further said to the writer, last
Friday, that his recent trip to
Washington City was on other

G. Bissell stated to a delegation of j bert ’ Druggists,Perry, Ga. _
Missouri Congressmen that the | Georgia—Houston County,
policy of the department concern- j The estate of Robert Felder, not being
ing appointments had been mis
represented by a class of newspa
pers. In the first place, it had been
stated by tLese newspapers that the
recommendation of Congressmen
would count for nothing. , As a re
futation of that statement' the fact
was pointed out that not a single
postmaster had yet been .appointed
who did not have the endorsement
of his Congressman. While not dis
posed to ignore the Congressmen,
Mr. Bissel said that the question of
who should be postmaster should,
in 8 measure at least, be decided by
the people of the locality, who were
more directly interested than any
one else, and that the wishes of
the people, when expressed, would
certainly be considered in making
the appointments. Nobody is to bo
ignored; what the department
wants is the co-operation of both
the people and the Congressmen in
the selection of such postmasters
as will increase, the efficiency of
the postal service. Mr. Bissell- also
denounced as false the statements
that women and editors are to be
discriminated against iu the selec
tion of postmasters. .-

often. So he will enjoy the honor,
which is fully deserved, without'
having to do much extra work.
