Mrs. Harrison, departing from the custom followed by Mrs. Cleve¬ land, refuses to allow her photo¬ graphs to lie sold. This is very modest and nice in Mrs. Harrison. Gen Gordon's inaugural address is attracting much attention from northern newspapers, and their comment ia unanimously favora¬ ble. It is not given to many south¬ ern men to lie popular and roapect ed both north and south as it is to our governor. *w.~ •' ra s sssnr; Now we may look for the passage of the dependent pension bill. The modest sum of $70,000,000, that is now being }*id to federal pensioned soldiers will be' increased in the next four years irom this sum to ♦200,(XX),000. It is theirs and full¬ ness of the earth, boeides—let them hare it. * * . Gen’J .Gordon recomrnonds the increase of pension for our wounded confederate veterans. That’s cor¬ rect; they fixed many of the - hoys in blue for elqw traveling, who are not getting royal boutics, from the governBient, and it does seem that w« should pay our war worn vete¬ rans liberally for doing such noble work. The convict, Oscar Carmichael, who killed W. J. Gresham near Griffin Friday, is reported to have been hilled at hit wifo’s house, near the line of Henry, Friday night *bv a posse that wei.t in pursuit. The sheriff came back to town, hut the poase Wwnt to his wife's house aid watched for him, and when he was teen- approaching he was firod on, "Cud according to reports was liter¬ ally riddled with bullets. The New York Herald hits the bull’s eye, so to apeak, when, in an¬ swer to the Jqueetion, “Is tariff ro fora to be given up now?” it says: “Why, no. Dr. Cleveland inocu¬ lated the patient and the virus ‘took’ powerfully. The doctor was din charged, to he sure, which was an sasy thing to do, but who can get .be viruj out of the system? It is bound to work and there ia no power this side of the blue sky that can stop it." The ‘‘campaign of nducaiion” will go right on with its good work. Look out for some¬ thing to happen in 1892. An exchange observing the times, person* and their ways gives this bit of cheerful news in a spi/it of good-hnmor: “It is not an uncom¬ mon thing for a newspaper sub¬ scriber to call around at the office and order it discontinued, because he’s offended at something he has read in its columns. All newspa¬ per# have such experiences, The wind which blows from one direc¬ tion to-day may come from another quarter to-morrow, and the experi- ] enced newspaper manager calmly , pursues the course which he believe- | i. right and aa tf, whether it plea,or everybody or not.

Now for the Figures. The report of State School Com missioner Hook, covering the edu cational operations of this state for i 887 and 1888 . shows ;hat the en rollment of pupils in the public schools for 1887 was 342,294, of which 208,865 were white and 133,- 429 were colored. This was an in¬ crease over the previous year of 22 570, but the average regular atten¬ dance showed a decrease of 117. The attendance of children and £2 per cent for the colored. The fund for tlio public school purposes is de rived from the following sources: Half rental of the state road, divi dends on Georgia rarlroad stock, taxon shows, liquor tax, hire of convicts, fees for inspecting lzers, and poll tax. The fund for 1,887 was $489,008.54. and it will be merenre,] ,,, tins . )«ar , by about , , » 2 o, 000 . 1 roin this, however, are to he _ ducted the expenses of printing, and the salaries of state and county commissioners, amounting to about $30,000. Dividing the fund for 1887 among those composing the school , , population, ... c«oh , child , , »» entitled to 82 ceuts ; dividing arnong the pupils enrolled, each was entitled to $1,35. An exchange asks: “What is home without a newspaper?” to which a brother editor replies “It D a place where old hats are stuffed into the window panes, where the children are like pigs, the house wife like an aboriginal savage, and the husband with a panorama of the Dismal Swamp painted on his shirt bosom with tobacco juice.
