You had better run away at once, a long way off, where you can do as you please.” Poor George was in tears now. “0 mamma, mamma!” throwing himself in her arms, “I do love you so, and I don’t want to run away. I hate to do as I please, live?” May I come home again to glad “Dear little boy!

The same English company that bought Warner was the company that offered to buy the Swift Specific Company. It has a capital of $200,000,000, and an executive committee that trav¬ els through America looking after investments of any kind that promise well. It invested $16, 000,000 in Chicago.

Trial by jury is often a farce. There are a plenty of good, honest and true men who are capable of serv¬ ing as jurors; yet, in many cases where criminal cases are to be tried, it is next to an imposibility to get a jury, owing to the pecu- laws, liar formation of our jury Wool Such was the case with the folk trial at Macon, and Chicago is now having a similar experience over the Cronin case, "HUNGEB IS THE BEST SAUCE.” As a rule, a person who has a good appetite has good health.

In the cotton year 1887-’88 the South did 16.8 per cent, of tho cotton manufacturing business of the country, and in the year which closed the first of this month its proportion had risen to 21.5. The latest and most roliablo figures show that Georgia maiu tians a handsome lead in cotton manufacture in the South. Tho total number of mills in the South is 259. They have 1,344,576 spin¬ dles and 31,435 looms. A year ago there wore in the South only 235 mills, with 1,177,901 spindles and 27,566 looms. The census of 1880 gave tho South only 194 cotton mills, with an aggregate of only 561,360 spindles and 12;- 329 looms. Georgia now has fifty-five mills, with a total of 388,342 spindles and 9,420 looms. North Carolina comes second in tlie list of South¬ ern states, having 93 mills, 288,- 706 spindles and 6,424 looms. South Carolina is third, with 35 mills, 278,000 spindles and 6,280 looms. These figures include only the spindles and looms in operation. There are very few spindles in the South idle except those that are old and useless. This showing is very gratifying and cannot fail to increase tho attractiveness of the South as the best field for cotton manufactures. —Macon Telegraph.
