MADDOX - - - • Editor 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¬ ing upon a scheme to establish a eo-ojierative bagging 1'aeton in Lex¬ ington, or some other convenient point in Oglethorpe county. He proposes that the Farmers’ Alli¬ ance take the enterprise in hand. It is said that Senator Sherman proposes to play the statesman in¬ stead of the demagogue at this ses¬ sion of congress. lie gave some intimations at the last session of such a purpose. The country will be interested in the experiment. “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 Thousands of men breathe, nide and live and puss off the stage O'* life, and are heard of no more, Wiiy? None were blessed by them ; none eould point to them ns the means of their redemption; not a *•’ wm 'ir‘ i ,or :l " >,y tT coil'd lie recalled ami so they peushed; tlieir ... light went out Ml ... darkuesa. and , thev were not remembered more than the insert* of yesterday. Will you live tha J and die? Oman immortal, live for Something. Do good and leave behind you a mo Htme.it of virtue that the storm Of time cannot d.stroy Write jour name of kindtie-a, love and mercy, on the hearts of thonaand* you come in contact with year by yeai, and you will never be forgotten.

Liciug ihe «x»«t to con^ntuers of the "tcuyosaries of life.” 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. Professor C. B.
