Tiie people throughout the coun¬ try vill regret to learn that the physicians of Senator Vance have found it necessary remove one of his eyes, which has been troubling him for more than a year. The trouble was doubtless aggregated by his close study and application to all subjects appertaining to the public welfare. The affliction of so worthy and able a statesman must elicit the sympathy of all parties and cause a deep 1 ’egret among the well-thinking people of the whole commonwealth. Why don’t the mind readers take Gen. Harrison in hand and tell the public something about the next cabinet? Their neglect to do this reuses the suspicion that they are frauds. The City Council has decided to have an election on the question whether Gainesville shall have a system of common schools. It has ordered an election to be held oa the 15tli of March next. When Benjamin Franklin was twenty-one lie formed the famous Leather Apron Club, to which uo one was admitted until he laid his hand on his heart and solemnly repeated: “I love mankind; I think no man should be harmed because of his opinions; I love truth—will seek it diligently, and, when found, make it known to others.” The protection bounties are taken from the people by littles; a few cents on every yard of cloth, a few cents on every railroad tick¬ et, a few cents on every ton of coal. Georgia will be made a separate department of the Grand Army of hie Republic, instead of Alabama and Georgia combined, as has eea announced.

Nutriment in Rice. Touching- the nutritious value of various foods variously cooked, it may be well just now to point out that one pound of rice, pre¬ pared for the table, gives eighty eight per cent, of nutriment, and, consequently, a relatively propor¬ tional ability to labor compared with other articles of food. A pound of beef contains only twenty-five per cent, of nutriment; yet countless numbers strain a point daily to purchase beef, when they could get a pound of rice for one-third of the amount; the rice moreover, having three times as much nutriment as the pound of beef, making a practical difference of 800 per cent. There is, also, the additional fact to be consider¬ ed that boiled rice is digested in about an hour; roast beef, on the contrary, requiring three hours and a half. There is meaning, after all, in the fact that two-fifths of the human family live on rice. Mut¬ ton is five per cent, more nutri¬ tious than beef, plums four per cent, and grapes two per cent. Codfish yields only twenty one per cent, nutriment. Contrary to popular ideas, apples yield three per cent, more nutriment than milk. A Spring medicine is needed by everyone, Winter food, largely consisting of salt meat and animal fats, causes the liver to become disordered and the blood impure, hence the necessity of a cleansing medicine. The best is Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Silence is said to be the wit of fools; but they do not always have it with them. Statistics compiled by the Housewife show that out of 612 young ladies who fainted last year more than half of them fell into the "arms of gentlemen, and that only three of them had the bad taste to drop on the floor. The Baltimore Herald thinks that the figures show that the average young lady, when on the point of fainting, is not entirely devoid of sentiment. To put off a swoon until a man heaves in sight in¬ dicates great will power under discouraging circumstances. Evangelist Moody is having singular success in Califoi’nia. At a recent meeting in San Francis¬ co, when at the conclusion of his address Mr. Moody requested “the sinners” to go into the inqui ry room, a crowd poured in that filled every inch of space. It seemed as if full half of the 6,000 present were endeavoring to get into the small room, and it was some time before it became quiet enough to proceed. A curious sight near Ellijay, Ga., is the grave of a farmer’s wife which is protected from the fury of the elements by a number of lightning rods. The new Chancellor of the State University, Rev. A. E. Boggs, is expected to take charge of affairs about the 1st of March. They tried a new experiment at a church in Rockland, last Sunday that of sending four ladies around with the contribution boxes.

There is one thing above all oth¬ ers that needs to be impressed upon the farmers of Georgia, and that is, that so long as they are in debt, to that extend they are slaves to their creditors. A man who is in debt is a slave. Let every far¬ mer make up his mind to first get out of debt. If he Cannot get out any other way, sell enough of land to pay out, and then keep clear. Unproductive land with a ten per cent, mortgage out side of it, wil] pull a man down spite of himself. If men would content themselves with the land which they can farm, there would be few mort¬ gages. The hen that sets on too many eggs usually spoils the nest. Frequently accidents occur in the household which cause burns, cuts, sprains and bruises; for use in such cases Dr. J. H. McLean’s Volcanic Oil Liniment has for many years been the constant fa¬ vorite family remedy. Joaquin Miller’s real name is Cincinnaties Hiner, according to the Buffalo Express. He is forty seven years old, and has been a gold miner, lawyer, express mes¬ senger. county editor, poet and novelist. It is rumored that the Standard Oil Company will erect and ope¬ rate quite a number of pine straw' bagging factories in the south. VVe are not sure that our short leaf pine straw would make good bagging, but we should like for this or soma other rich company to come into Rockdale county and try the experiment. The late Mr. Beecher’s successor as pastor of Plymouth church is Dr. Abbott, but a number of for¬ mer worshipers at Plymouth have deserted that church and have be come attendants at Dr. Talmage’s tabernacle. This was to be ex¬ pected. There was only one Beecher, and when he died a good many people, who make it a practice of g*oing to the most pop¬ ular churches, deserted Plymouth for the tabernacle and Dr. r Ial mage. When Dr. Talmage dies what are they going to do? For sick headache, female troubles, neuralgic pains in the head take Dr. J. H. McLeans Little Liver and Kidney Fillets. 25 cents a vial. A Charleston correspondent of the New York Times says the peo¬ ple of South Carolina are begin¬ ning to groan under their confed¬ erate pension burdens. Very probably the correspondent is mistaken. The people of South Carolina are not likely to grum¬ ble because they are called on to aid veterans who became disabled in the south’s defense, No southern state does more for her confederate veterans than the condition of her treasury justifies, and no southern taxpayer regrets the mite he pays to tho veterans. “Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral has given me great relief in bronchi¬ tis.

Economy Enforced. He stood with one foot on the hub of his wagon wheel, talking to his wife, who sat in the wagon holding the lines. “How much did you say, Mary?” he asked. “A dollar.” “What! A hull dollar for two pairs of stockings?” “Yes.” “We can’t afford it. That’s per¬ fectly reckless.” “But I want ’em.” “Yes, I suppose so, but you can’t have ’em. Look-a-here. I’ve got to have a necktie, a new hat, a pair of suspenders, a pair of buck¬ skin gloves, some socks, a plug of tobacco and a jack-knife, and that'll take all the money we can spare.” “Can’t I get one pair?” “Well, mebhe, hut you’d better look fur cotton and suntliin’ at about 20 cents. We’ll never git rich in the world if we don’t keep expenses down.” If you spit up phlegm, and aro troubled with a hacking cough, use Dr, J. H. McLean’s Tar "Wine Lung Balm. Gov. Foraker, of Ohio, is dis¬ posed to believe that the acts of the "White Caps in that state are merely those of practical jokers— at least, so he says. He may be right. Last Friday night a band of these practical jokers took pos¬ session of the town of Jeromeville in that state, and demolished three houses. This may have beon done playfully, but at the same time it was done effectually. Gov. Foraker should issue a proclama¬ tion against practical jokers. Judge Sprague had his feet planted solidly on the earth when he said: “The morality of no peo¬ ple can be maintained above the morality of their laws.” When the Rev. Dr. William Adams resigned the pastorate of of the First Presbyterian church of Agusta that church lost an ex¬ cellent paster and an able preacher Besides being a success as a pas¬ tor and a preacher, Mr. Adams alse is a success as a mau, and his sterling quaiiti«s and attractive manner have endeared him to all people who have becomo well acquainted with him. He preached his farewell sermon in Agusta last Sunday. Pimples, Sores, Aches and Pains. When a hundred bottles of sar¬ saparilla or other pretentious specifics fail to eradicate in-born scrofula or contagious blood poison, remember that B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm) has gained many thousand victories, in as many seemingly incurable in stances. Send to the Blood Balm Co., Atlanta, Ga., for “Book of Wonders,” and be convinced. It is the only true blood fubifieb. G. W. Messer, Howell’s X Ptoads, Ga., writes: “I was afflicted nine years with sores. Ah the medicine I could take did me no good. I then tried B. B. B. and 8 bottles cured me sound.” Mrs. S. M. Wilson, Round Moun¬ tain, Texas, writes: “A lady friend of mine was troubled with bumps and pimples on her face and neck. She took Jthree bottles of B. B. B. and her skin got soft and smooth, pimples disappeared, and her health improved greatly."’ Jas. L. Bosworth, Atlanta, Ga., writes: “Some years ago I con¬ tracted blood poison. I had no appetite, my digestion was ruined, rheumatism drew up my limbs so I could hardly walk, my throat was cauterized five times. Hot Springs gave me no benefit, and my life was one of tortune until I I gave B. B. B. a trial, and, sur¬ prising as it may seem, the use of five bottles cured me.“ They Like It Too. "Washington Gladden makes some very startling statements as to the prevalence of the drink hab¬ it among women of England. He affirms upon observation gathered in a five weeks’ visit in London that shop girls and working wom¬ en of the lower and middle classes go without shame into public drinking places and drink at the same bar with men. Most Amer¬ icans will lift up their hands in holy horror at the intimation of such a state of affairs coming about in America. But as sure as we go on legalizing such places and trying to elevate them by high license, we are hastening the day when there will bo no shame be¬ tween women and an idolized so loon. ilation Imperfect digestion disordered and assim¬ produce condi¬ tions of the system which grow and aro confirmed by neglect, Dr. J. H. McLean’s Strengthening Cordial and Blood Purifier, by its tonic properties, cures indigestion and gives tone to the stomach. $1.00 per bottle. Mr. Thurman has had very little t» say since his defeat. He has remained at homo, where his wife might be on hand to nurse him if he should be attacked with cholera morbus again. Hp remarked to a reporter the other day, however, that he thought Gen. Harrison would have a hard time of it if be should attempt to enforce the civil service rules. Mr. Thurman has knowhthe Republican party a longtime, and he knows it is composed chiefly of spoilsman. Amelia Rives Chandler finished a picture she was painting of her husband a few days ago, and, the very same day ho sailed for Eu¬ rope. Our little boys, six years old, was sent to school last week for the first time, and on his return homo asked his papa: “Who tought the first man his letters?" When a man ventures an opin¬ ion ho will find some ono who op¬ poses it. Hence, a man without opposition is a man without opin¬ ions. You may hive the stars in a nail keg, hang the ocean on a rail fence to dry, put the sky to soak in a gourd, and unbuckle the belly band of eternity and let the sun and njoon out, but don't thick you can escape the place that lies on tho other side of purgatory if you don’t pay for your paper. Old people suffer much from disorders of the urinary organs, and aro always gratified at the wonderful effects of Dr. J. H. Mc¬ Lean’s Liver and Kidney Balm in banishing their troubles. $1.00 per bottle. Mahoney, the Irish wit, known as “Father Prout,” once called on a literary lady, whom he found conversing with a gentleman whose manners indicated his fam ilarity with good society, but whose apparel betrayed his slov¬ enliness. “Did you not notice his well-bread ease and courtly tone? asked tho lady of Mahoney, after the gentleman had left the room. “Yes growled the cynical wit; your friend can well afford to put some polish in his manners, for he keeps none for his boots.” Dr. Hawthorne contradicts the report that after leaving Atlanta he will retire from the ministry. He says he will always be in the ministry, but wants rest. He con¬ templates a trip to Europe this spring. You will have no use for spec¬ tacles if you use Dr. J. H. Mc¬ Lean’s Strengthening film and Eye Salve; which it removes the scum accumulates on the eye balls, sub¬ dues inflammation, cools and sooths the irritated nerves, strengthens weak and failing sight. 25c. a box.

" No. 60. ‘ He Obeys Orders. “Gentlemen,” said the little man at the club, as he looked at his watch, rose to his feet, and took his hat, “it is now half-past nine and I promised my wife I would be home at ton. In matters of this kind I am rigid and inflexible. When my wife asks me to some home at a certain hour, and I promise to do so, I am firm as adamant in fulfilling that promise, Decision of character, gentlemen,” he continued, as he thoughtfully ribbed a large triangular-shaped lump over his left ear, “is indis¬ pensable to any man who expects to hold his position as head of the family. Gentlemen, good eve¬ ning.,’ A writer on domestic oconomy, in giving instructions for keeping eggs fresh, says: “Lay with th® small ond down." He does not specify whether this direction in for tho hen or the housewife, Gen. Longstroet is a nice, amiable man, but he is not much of a poltician. He says that the solid south will be a thing of the past before Gon. Harrison’s term ends. No doubt tho general real¬ ly thinks so. A good many other republicans have said the same thing, but they did not believe it. When you are constipated, with take 088 of appetite, hoaaache, Little one of Dr. J. H. McLean’s Liver and Kidney take Pilleta. They are pleasant to and will cure you. 25 cents a viaL The chaplain of ihp Ohio legis¬ lature felt it to be his duty the other day to remind the members in a prayer, that there were “no free pastfas to heaven.” This will be bad nows to the members of several other state legislatures, Tho best way for the Georgia farmer to get peace and happiness m well as health and plenty, i 18 tQ quit buying western meat and corn and raise his own hog and ho¬ miny. This is tho way John Quincy Adams put it: “Always vote for a principlo, though yon have to vote alone, and you can cherish the swoet reflection that your vote is never lost.” Thorough appreciation of a good woman on the part of a young man is one of the strongest recommendations to her favor. Small Clerk—“Fader, a shentle man in de store vants ter knew dot all-vool, non-shrinkabje shirt vill shrink.” Proprietor—“Does it fid him?” “No, id^is too big.” "Yah, id vill shrink.” No one man is just like other men. Nor is anyone man wholly unlike all other men. Yet many a man makes the mistake of think¬ ing, either that every man is just like himself, or that nobody is. As a matter of fact, every person is typical of a large class of per¬ sons, while no person stands as the' type of all persons. If vocr kidneys are inactive, you will feel and look wretched, even in the most cheerful the jolliest society, and melancholy J. on H. McLean’s Liver occa¬ sions.

Tho brother in black is still be¬ sieging Gon. Harrison, and it does seem that the skortest VTajr out of tho trouble is for tho Presi¬ dent-elect to surrender. The ne¬ groes are clearly entitled to a cabinet position under him, and they ought to have it. Why not as well say the word as soon as late and settle the matter? Human progress—From pap to papa.
