The maimed soldiers of Georgia
will receive their annual state ^ n *
sions after January.
Fifty gallons a week is the whis
kv drinking capacity of one town
in Oglethorpe, so ’tis said.
Rial estate seems to have a strong
upward tendency in every part of
the state.
The largest expenses of married
life are frequently caused by the
little ones.
Belva Lockwood says that women
are improving intellectually 13 per
cent faster than men.
The Ammcus Republican thus
snms up our recent national defeat
in rhyme:
“The vote lc cast, all hope is passed;
And votes, by close comparison,
Now clearly shows that tbc country goes
To Morton, Hell and Harrison.”
What we call curiosity and in¬
quisitiveness in other people seem
in ourselves only a laudable thirst
for useful information.
It is said that Gen. Longstreot’s
visit to Gen. Harrifton has a politi¬
cal significance after all. Gen.
Longstreet is charged with wanting
to go into the cabinet as Secretary
of the Interior. Isn’t he aiming a
little high?
A. E. McDonald, a merchant of
Covington, has failed. His liabil¬
ities are supposed to be $ 0,000 or
$8,000, and his assets $4,000 or
$5,000. A mortgage for $2,000 was
levied on his stock of goods Friday.
A I>exington gentleman is work¬

“Old Hutch,” the Chiaago wheat
gambler, w hose speculations did so
much to increase the price of bread
a few weeks ago, has suffered toj
the extent of a good many thou¬
sand dollars at the hands of two of
his confidential clerks. He ought
not to feel out of sorts because he
is the victim of his own example.
A petition is being circulated
through DeKalb county in opposi¬
tion to the proposed bill to author¬
ize the county commissioners to
issue $50,000 bonds for the im¬
provement of public roads, and
will no doubt be signed by a ma¬
jority of the taxpayers of the coun¬
ty, if it can reach them in time.
Three of the members of the board
of commissioners are in favor,
while two oppose, and if the bill
should pass, it is hoped that a
clause will he adder! allowing the
people to ratify it

Here is a queer story of wife-trad.
imr in IVaghington coantv : It
'
sccms that . two . marned -i
were living only a short distance
a p ar t ? and by neighborly intercourse
each man became enamo ed of the
other’s wife, while the ladies soon
learned to love the other’s husband
tl-.us beem, from
their first L,ve. When matters tiok
on this .-cape it cam - 1 to be noticea-
1 1 ’ by all con e nod, and many
evenings passed while each husband
was at the other's house pouring
out his tale oflove and fidelity into
th « wi ]H ng ears of the listeners
Finallv, one of the husbands, a lit
tie bolder than the other, proposed
an exchange. This was met with
gladness by nil thefparties interest
ed. and the proposing party consent
ed to the trade on condition that
the other would allow him $5 in
cash and seven bushels of Quaker
peas. This was readily consented
to and the trade was made, each
wife going to the other’s home,
carrying with hpr the children, and
are now living in the sweetest do¬
mestic felicity. They will try to
have the courts make the trade le¬
gal.
There is a woman living in Hart
county who has six breasts, all of
which have afforded life-giving
fluid to her children. She has two
daugiiters each of whom have four
breasts. Three women with four
teen breasts is a novelty that few
counties can boast of. Let the four
legged chickens take the back
seat.
