The new capitol was lighted for
the first time Wednesday night. A
few days ago a connection was
made with the electric work? and a
trial of the lights was made
Wednesday evening. The brilliant
lights streamed through every
window, und made a picture that
many people stoppod to admire -
The Covington Star talks out
plahdy aa follows: ‘‘The blind
tiger is a very prolific and bold sort
of animal, . He etalks abroad with
increasing boldness and audacity,
and is hard to catch in his lair.
The hand of eve^v good citiren. is
against him ; si'!]., he seems to he
hvdra-headed, and scents, danger
from a Mr. But he wul have io go
—some day.”
It In a fact, not generally known
that one ©tf the first laws enacted
after the formation of the state of
Georgia is st'dl a law in this state.
It is what is known as the “head
right act.” The lands of the east
side of the Oconee river down as
far as Beard’s creek, in Liberty
county, was all lun up into head
rights of J ,000 acres, Kueh I annoy
way on.thied to 1,000 acres and a
single person to 500 acres The
capitol was ihen at Anvusia.

The. members of the Woman’;*
Christian Temperance Union are
anxious to see whisky banished
from Georgia. In order to accom¬
plish this the ladies lnve had p 'in
tod a number of petitions to the leg
islature, asking that body to arm pa
law prohibiting the sale of liquor in
the state. These pot-i ions are being
circulated all over the state and are
being numerously s*guod. The
men s'gn in one columi and the
ladies in one ,___* just opposite,

The first school census of Georgia
since 1882 has just boon compk ’dll.
Tl,p me tot'll total number nuinner of or children Limuu.u of ot
school age in Georgia is 500,231
against 508,722 hi 1882, an ine ease
of 51,559 in six vears, or a trifle
more than 10 per cent. Acceding
to „he late Dr. Oir’s rule this
means an increase of about 100,000
in tho population of tho S*ate. One
o." the most remarkable things about
the enume ation is the fact that in
the country districts the r e are more
boys than girls, and in the towns
and cities there a-e more girls than
boys.
