evening paper just started in that
oity. This enterprise bus long been
needed in Macon. It is a live and
progressive journal, and wo do not
hesitate in saying that it is bound
to succeed. There is plenty of room
in Macon for two papers. Tlw /braid
proposes to give the latest news and
more of it thnii any paper in that

want, and in paying some attention
to small weekly papers, will make

Prince William, of Prussia, eldest
son of the crown prince and future
heir to the empire, is now twenty
one years old, a fett months younger
than his betrothed, Priueess Victo¬
ria of Schleswig llolstein-Augusten
burg. The marriage, which Is a
love match, is not very much liked
by the people, who think the heir
apparent might aspire to a bride of
higher rank. The parents of the
young man, however, approve the
nllianoc, the crown urince having
been sorely grieved at Bismarck a
harsh treatment of the late duke
the bride’s father, when he attempt¬
ed to assert his rights of succession
to the much coveted duchess of
Schleswig-Holstein. Young Prince
Wilhelm has grown into a fine
young man, and has happily over¬
come the delicacy of his childhood,
although the paralytic affection of
his left arm gives him an appear

by him.
The colored voters who emigrated

These unfortunate people will dis¬

they would encounter prejudices a

ever could exist, at the South. The

through the medium of a dim per
