There is a great deal of material for thought in tho questions and suggestions thrown out by our contemporary. The history of the country hoy in Pittsburg is much the same in other cities. Just why the country boy is more successful than his city-born cous¬ in is hard to say. But ambition and hard labor have much to do with it. When a boy leaves his country home to seek his fortune in the great city he generally carries with him the firm determi¬ nation to overcome all obstacles, and to mount the gilded ladder of fame in spite of all hindrances. Often, through adversity, great temptations and lack of stability of character, the boy’s resolve is broken, and instead of that fame which he was once so ambitious D obtain lie finds himself on the road to ruin and dishonor, with bo beacon light to guide him through the deep) darkness of despair which has gathered about Lm.

It is reported that in some conn ties of northwest Georgia the farmers’ alliances are creating a fund similiar to that of building \ and loan associations, and from | this fund money is to be borrow ed by members needing tempora r Y financial assistance to enable them to purchase goods at cash thereby getting the lowest rates, This is a most excellent movement and one that might be extended all over the state. If farmers who have a few hundred dollars to put out interest would only form such associations it would enable their less fortunate neighbors to secure ready money at reasonable rates and thereby aid them in making their farms self-sustaining.

It is stated that a company has been organized in Pittsburg, Pa., to plant ramie in Georgia. Ac¬ cording to the published account it has purchased a large tract of land in one of the most fertile parts of the state, and will very soon begin to plant ramie. The most interesting statement, how¬ ever, is that the company has a decorticating machine that will prepare fiber for manufacturing purposes from the plant at much less cost than it is prepared in In¬ dia.

When the new Sen¬ ators take their scats tho republi¬ can majority in tho upper House will probably be safe for a long time to come.

The Rector of a popular Atlan¬ ta church threw his congregation into a smile last Sunday by a ref erenee, perhaps an inadvertence, to the “Colonel.” He was de scribing the greater influence for evil in the misconduct of persons in high places, and the greater fall when such persons go wrong, and concluded the passage by saying: “Just think of a Bishop in hell, or a Rector, or a Colonel!” The effect on the congregation was as unexpected by tlie divine as it was instantaneous andgener al.

This indicates that the ox pense of carrying that state was so great on the last occasion that the republicans are anxious to avoid the nooossity of buying it again. 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. Judge Maddox has decided that the prohibition law, under which Polk county has been dry since May 1, 1882, was null and void, and lias been so from the begin nmg. Polk county pieopde have rested confidently in the belief that their day of struggling and fighting with the liquor traffic was over, and are rudely aroused from their fancied security by this decision of Judge Maddox. Eccentricity is not a virtue, imt if some men would only bo eccen¬ tric enough not to cross their legs in a horse car, the world would forgive them some of their other vices. Our happiness depends on little things, says a philosopher. This is true. A man who cones iu possession of a plugged happiness quarter can never know true till he succeeds in passing it off on some one. NOT NOT ONE OISE UN IN TEN iEiN Of the people yon meet from day to day has perfectly pure, healthy blood. The hereditary scrofulous taint afflicts the large majontj of people, while many others acqu re diseases from impure air, lmprop er food and wrong indulgences. Hence the imperative necessity for* reliable blood purMer like Sarsaparilla, which eradi ca p eg every impurity, and gives to blood vitality and health. cures scrofula, salt rheum, hu mors, boils, pimples, and all other affections caused by impiu dies or poisonous germs in the blood. All that is asked for Hood’s Sar saparilla is that it be given a fair trial. The first time a colored lawyer ever appeared in Atlanta was when Aaron Alpeoria Bradley came to tho state Senate. Brad ley was a kinky-headed mulatto, a sharp fellow, too, and when he rose unexpectedly in tho court¬ room one day to defend a case, the lawyer on the other side was so indignant at its impudence that he immediately forgot everything he knew. The mulatto lawyer cal¬ led for the papers in the case, look at them through his eyeglasses, and made a motion to dismiss upon some technicality. The court granted the motion, and Bradley with an aggravating twist of his mustache, swaggered oil, leaving the white lawyer so full of rago and inortifiation that ho w ould not open his mouth.

One gen¬ tleman has several lots of the famous All Saint Madeira, impoi ted in 1791 and 1793, the year of the great tire in Savannah. Then there is the famous Huutor wine, imported about the same time. Some of it is still in the hands of friends of the family. Tho late Mr. De Renne, who inherited some of this wine, was often ottered $100 a bottle for it. , An English jury has decided that tho prince of Wales’ nose is red. The next English civil war will be one, not of the red and white roses, but of the red and white noses. Boils, pimples, hivos, ringworm, tetter, and all other manifestations of impure blood arc cured by Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Some of the republican news¬ papers are trying to tickle Mr, Randall by saying that he has be¬ come the loader of the House. Praise from this source may bo pleasant to Mr. Rondall, or it may not. He gives no sign of what his feelings in the matter are. It is certain, however, that for years tho republican newspapers have given him a very earnest supp rt, and havd never failod to defend him when assailed. Remember that Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral has no equal as a specific for colds, coughs, and all effec tions of the throat and lungs. For nearly a half a century it has been in greater demand than any other remedy for pulmonary com¬ plaints. All druggist have it for sale. Tho Augusta Chronicle conveys the startling news that the guber¬ natorial canvass has opiened, and is being carried on by the Univer¬ sity boys in their effort to elect a literary orator for commencement. The Chronicle thinks that the names in nomination will figure largely iu tho coming- campaign, and that tho result of the war now being waged among tho Universi¬ ty boys will practically settle the question as to who will be the next governor of Georgia. Avoid Appearances.— A worthy gentleman, heving an unusual red nose, was long suspected of being a tippler on tho sly, by those not well acquainted with his strictly temperate habits. His unfortu¬ nate disfigurement was readily cured by the use of Ayer’s Sarsap¬ arilla. One of the keenest things ever said on the bench is attributed to Judge Walton of Georgia. While holding a term of the supreme court at Augusta, he sentenced a man to seven years iu prison for a grave crime, Tho prisoner’s counsel asked for a mitigation of the sentence, on the ground that the pmsonor’s health was very p)Oor. “Your honor,” said he, “I am satisfied that my client cannot live out half that term, and I bog of you to change tho sentence.” “Well, under those circuinstancos” said tho judge, “I will change the sentence. I will make it for life, instead of seven years.” The prisoner chose to abide by the original sentence, which the judge permitted him to elect.
