Dr. Frank McCalla will not move to Covington from Monroe until after Christmas. Cel. J. A. Stewart, son of Hon. John D. Stewart, was elected may or of Gridin last Tuesday. lie tol^.vri-bright onlv 9 2 vear« old hut is reported young man. Senator Ingalls has been expres sing some views on the so-called southern question. He docsn know what to do with the negro In that cape, he might let him alone, A man last week sat up in coffin and took charge of his own funeral, ordering the same to be indefinitely postponed. All sur¬ prise vanishes when it is that he was an Ohio man. There is an immense difference between knowing a man and know ing about a man, and there is same difference between knowing a thing and knowing about n thing. It is this latter kind of knowledge with which the young and the old of this generation are, to a large extent, supplied. Rev. E. R. Carswell has moved from Eiberton to Atlanta, and his residence is at276 Whitehall street; but his office is at 32 N. Alabama street, which be desires to be known as his address in future. His* pub¬ lication, The Baptist Expositor, has also been moved to Atlanta, the November issue of which is 10 000 copies. He will engage in gen¬ eral evangelistic work in the State. The necessity for first-class school accomodations is shown in the forthcoming report of the United Stales commissioner of education Some thorough examinations of the eye of pupils in various schools have been made, and here is one of the results : Five per cent, of near¬ sighted children were found in an old, badly illuminated and ventila¬ ted school building, and only 28 percent, iu a new and well a ranged house. This is a discovery of which school authorities every¬ where should tako advantage. The law governing the meeting of president ill electors was ap¬ proved February 3,1837. The date of their meeting is now the first Wednesday in January, The change was made in order that there might he plenty of time, be¬ tween the election and the meeting of electors, to make the official can¬ vass. Of course Gen. Longstrert did not go to see Gen. Harrison about an office, hut nevertheless he prob¬ ably vvouid he glad to have the President-elect remember the visit in a practical way. And, somehow t>r other, there are a great many people in Georgia who, while de¬ ploring his politics, hope the old general will get a big, juicy lump. President Cleveland, like our¬ selves in one particular at least, will eat his Christmas turkey if he wants to. _ W e Will, provided . , . nl- , ways.onr finances will will JUSlliy iustifv such SUCH lUXtineS. From every J body’s - note hook:! >V« are growing older. But the question to us all is, are we also growing better? Jt is the part of tho critic to crii-ise, but it is the privilege of the criticised to be profited thereby. A critic . fliend , Of a says Gen, Harrison lias a big head and a silent mouth. , And , , another , . one m a critical turn says the republican party has both the big head ami big mouth.
