One who professes to know it all, predicts that Cleveland and Lamonl will be a law firm in New York city, but others who know the President very well indeed, believe that he will not return to the practice of the law or to any other active persuits. His only business, they think, will be to derive by careful investments a living income from his capital. Speaking of St. Louis in a con versation on the train, Sam Jones paid recently : “There’s one differ cnee between St. Louis and hell— hell has no river alongside of it. The canal fosr miles long through the Isthmus of Corrinth, in Greece, is just approaching com¬ pletion. History tells us that the work was begun under Emperor Nero over 1,100 years ago The $5,000 appropriated by the last Legislature to repair the North Georgia Agricultural College at Pahlonega, has been well expended and the building is now in an en¬ tirely more habitable shape. Two graduates of Mercer Univer¬ sity are members elect of the next Congress: Hon. Rufus E. Lester of the first, district, and Hon. Allen J). Candler of the ninth. Mr. Can¬ dler is also a member of the pies ent Congress. Jacksonville, now that her ter¬ rible scourge is about over, is taking steps to prevent its recurrence. The city is to be thoroughly e’eaned and every possible means of thorough sanitation will be adopted. With proper precautions, there is no reason why Jacksonville should ever have yellow fever again. ‘‘Every day in the week,” says the Constitution, “and ou nearly every street in the city, there can be found young boys loafing and idling, smoking cigarettes and in tome cases, drinking whisky. The police record tells a ve-y dismal story with respect to these idle boys, and every mark that is made on these records ought to be a warning to parents that it is the first step to the penitentiary or to the gal¬ lows.” The effort to pass a resolution through the Georgia legislature to request the repeal of the internal revenue law seems tc be bossed by Ur. Duggar of Fannin. The doc¬ tor is one of the three or four repub¬ licans in the legislature, and it is eminently proper that he should lead this movement. To repeal the internal revenue and to keep up the taxes on the necessaries of life is the ideal republican doctrine. The goddess of liberty after her mng and tireson t ascent now rests °n the apex oijlome of the new capitol. As po ition is everything, ^be is now fixed for life. Her beau¬ tiful and graceful figure attracts the admiration of all, and for ages to come she will be looked up to hy all Atlanta and the stranger within her gates as the highest or¬ nament of the grandest building in south The bill of Senator Johnson to increase the salary of the governor f-'om $3,000 to $5,000 has met -the a pproval ox the finance committe °f the Senate.

If we succeed ive are joyful and confident- Tf we fail, we are sad and depressed. But is it not possible that both are necessary to the formation of well rounded and strong character? May it not be that some failures are a blessing, and teach lessons of exceeding value? If success were to attend all our endeavors, the re¬ suit might,in the end, prove very disastrous, since we would be over¬ confident and estimate our abiii.y far beyond its actual value, No strong character has ever been formed, except by overcoming ob¬ stacles and failures. The son of a rich man is ordinarily wanting both in brain and brawn while a poor aoun try lad hews his own way to success through many failures and losses. Some victories which have greatly elated the victors have done much harm, since they have made them vain and rash, and thus laid the foundation for crushing defeats in the end. The “Conservative ticket” in At lanta headed by Hon. John T. Glenn for mayor, was successful throughout Mr. Glenn is very popular as well as brainy. Gen. Harrison is credited with the remark to a visitor : “The hard est part of the fight has just begun, and it is in our own party.” We think that he takes a correct view 0 fthe situation. Nobody will be likely to charge that the President’s latest message was written v for him. It evidently is his own production, just as his other messages were. Conyers, Qa., Tuesday, Dec. 11, 1888.

A New Condition A good joke is ahvay in season. The Messrs. Cain of this place are brothers to Mr. D. T. Cain of Law renceville. The Herald of that place says “A gentleman came in town last week and wanting to find Mr D. T. Cain’s residence, inquired of an old darkey, weft known around the court house: ‘ Say. uncle, can you tell me where Mr. Cain live#?” ‘‘Mr. Cain? Yes sal), boss,” and taking him down to the South-east corner of the court house square, and pointing down the street in thc*direction of Mr. Cain’s said: “You jest go down dis street ’till you comes to a w’ite house wid a new condition on it, and dats wlur he lives.” Mr. Cain has just made a new addition to his dwelling. -------- The Philadelphia Record says “the spectacle of two dogs and a man on horseback chasing a rabbit” is not inspiring: and the Record is right. The rabbit is not given a fair chance for his life when the dogs a re saved from fatigue by hav¬ ing hor?es to ride. A newspaper has a compositor who is a treasure, “They would strain at a gnat and swallowa cam¬ el” was the expression he had to set a clay or two ago, and this iff the way he set it: “They would strain at a goat and swallow a canal.” Mr. N. M. Almand has purchased the lot hack of Ewing’s store house and adjoining the lo„ where his store now stands. This is a very pretty lot and no doubt Mr. AJ» maud will soon erect a handsome residence thereon.—LawrenccviHc Herald. Sbeaker Carlisle said in an inter¬ view in Kentucky, just before he left for Washington : “So fur as the Democrats nrs concerned we shall adhere to the principles of the Mills bill. We are committed to this, both in our action in Congress and in the Presidential contest through which We have just passed. We shall not pass the Senate tariff bill as it stands. If the Senate sends the House a bill that embraces the principles of the bill wc passed last summer the House, I think, will pass it. We will surrender no prin¬ ciples,” __________ In Fulton county nearly all of the candidates for county offices will go into a primary election, which is set down for Dec. 13. This was deemed advisable owing to the army of candidates in the field for the office of coroner of Fulton county, There are fourteen candidates now out shelling the woods for votes. Thirteen of them are white and one colored. J. C. Harris in, one of the number, has already announced that he will not go into ihe primary, and as the col¬ ored candidate will also ran on the outside, it is reasonable to suppose that on the day of the election there will be three candidates in the field —the nominee, the independent and the republican candidates. This contest will, therefore, be an inter¬ esting one, both in the primary and at the ballot-box wlien the final contest takes place. -— «♦»-. —— - Things to Remember.
