O’KELLEY - Business Manager Dr. Talmage is to make an in¬ novation in church service when his new church is built. It is proposed to have an anteroom on either side of the organ, and to put in one a chime of bells and in the other a drum corps. An Oregon editor apologized to his readers last week for being three days late in getting out his paper. He said his patent insides came all right with a lot of groce¬ ries, but a friend mistook them for a side of bacon and packed them off to his ranch. Congress will hardly be ready for legislative work inside of a month. Speaker Reed will need that much time to make up his committees. In the meantime, however, industrious congressmen will introduce bills so fast that when the committees meet they will already be provided with ten times as much work as they can do. The outlook is for along and excited session, during which very few bills of real importance will pass. Some days ago “Babe” Burch of Adairsville received a letter bearing the postmark “Atlanta.” On opening it, Mr. Burch found it was from some honest soldier of the late war, saying that on the march he wont into the field of Mr. Burch's father and took eight roasting ears of corn, for which he inclosed a dollar bill. The letter was unsigned. Mr. Burch was much surprised, but is glad to know that honesty is still alive and asserting itself. The Sparta Ishmaelite thinks that it reflects the sentiments of the farmers of Georgia when it opposes a union of the Farmers’ alliance and the Knights of Labor. The Ishmaelito is published at the home of Col. Northon, who is a candidate for governor, and who expects strong support from the farmers. It may, therefore, be said to reflect Col. Northern’s sen¬ timents. It generally speaks of Col. Northern as if by authority. Col. Livingston, the prerident of the Farmers’ Alliance of Georgia, is also a candidate for governor, and ho is greatly in favor of the proposed union. It remains to be seen whether the farmers will in¬ dorse Col. Northen or Col. Liv¬ ingston in this matter. The Paris exposition was the most successful in every respect yet held, but it did not pay its way with the gate receipts. The government, however, will be re¬ paid $1,700,000 of its advance of $3,600,000 to the enterprise. All other claims, including the guar¬ antee fund, have been satisfied, the whole loss being assumed by the government. The projectors of oux own AY oild s 1 air would do well to study these figures. The attendance on this side will hardly be so large as it was in Paris, ami though the charge for admission will be higher, it may reasonably be expected that the deficit will be larger. To meet the deficit the guarantee fund should be drawn upon before Ine go' eminent ap piopriatiou, foi the reason that all the immediate benefits of the exposition will be confined to the locality in which the fund is rais ed. The governments claim on the assets should be a preferred one. Now that Mr. Davis is dead, who will write the secret history! of the war from the. southern i standpoint? Mr. Davis intended doing so, and lie had a great mass j of official papers from which to : get who his facts. get out Is of there those anybody j can papers what Mr. Davis would Jiave got? ! JEFFERSON DAVIS. * The hearts of the southern peo¬ ple are filled with sorrow, Jef ferson Davis, who was President of the confederacy, the leader of the lost cause—a cause for which they sacrificed and suffered so much—is dead. His life was a grand and noble one, and his death was that of a Christian who felt that his work on earth was done and that he had nothing to regret. Calmly and peacefully he breathed his last holding the hand of the dear wife who had rejoiced withdiim in prosperity, and who had helped and comforted him when in trouble. Mr. Davis filled a large place in the hearts of the southern peo¬ ple. He loved them, and they honored and loved him. They loved him not alone because he was the leader of the confedercy, but also because of his noble character and many virtues. They will teach their children to honor his memory, and a monu¬ ment of marble, will not be nec¬ essary to keep fresh in their minds his life and deeds. History will accord Mr. Davis a place among the great men. He was a soldier and a statesman. His rise to political influence and power was remarkably rapid. In the Senate of the United States and in the war department his intellectural greatness was recog¬ nized and admitted. When the south seceded and the confederacy was organized, so great was the estimation in which he was held by the southern people that he was promoted to the leadership by common consent. He remain¬ ed the leader until the cause was lost. History will not say that it ■was lost through fault of his. Mr. Davis had enemies in the confederacy. It would have been strange, indeed, if he had not. He was in a position to make en¬ emies, and be made them. No man of strong character and pro¬ nounced opinions can avoid mak¬ ing them.. These enemies may have striven to create an impres¬ that Mr. Davis’ services to confederacy have been over¬ estimated, but notwithstanding their efforts, and the efforts of northern critics to lessen his fame, he will be given the place in history to which he is entitled, and that place is a very high one. Mr. Davis possesses a very kindly nature. A writer in a late publication calls attention to bis politeness and uniform kindness to those who were in any respect dependent upon him when he was a member of the United States Senate. In his home lie was so gentle and courteous that he won the hearts of all who came into contact with him. Notwithstand¬ ing the 1 )ittcr attacks upon him by the northen republican press and by northern republican poli" ticians northern men, without re¬ gard to their politics, were wel¬ comed to his home at Beauvoir with a gentle courtesy that show¬ ed that he was free from bitter ness toward the people of any section of the country. Indeed, northern man found pleasure in visiting him, hospitality was so sincere and unpretentious. When Mr. Davis visited Geor ghi a little more than three years ago, his journey was one contin ut) d ovation. The people were everywhere eager to show their profound regard for him. He was deeply touched by the recep tion lie received, ai*d he returned to his Mississippi home more than ever convenced that he had prominent place in the affections of the southern people, Loving hands will bear him to his last resting place, and sad will attend him there, Although ho survived the cun federacy a quarter of a century he died ha vine as firm a hold upon those who made him the leader of it as lie had w hen he was eleva ted to that position. ATLat stron £ er proof, of his greatness could there be?—Savannah News, ~ ; ■ '• ~ ■ There is not enough justice in the world to prevent the right from occasionally getting left, ‘ Chicago, it is said, has about 600 female bicycle and tricycle riders. . A fearful story comes across the water from Vienna. It is to effect that so many men have died suddently in Austrian Hungary, that the government has been compelled to institute a rigid in¬ quiry into the cause, which resul¬ ted in the ' awful discovery that numbers of married women had banded together for the purpose of poisoning their husbands. It is hard to believe that the report can be true; but when it is further started that the section of country is infested with a diobolical class, kn wn as female fortune tellers, and they absolutely furnish the poison to the poor, deluded wives, with which to poison their hus¬ bands, it has the semblance of truth. Of all the worthless peo¬ ple in the world, the female for ture teller is about the sorriest. President Harrison has surpri¬ sed the country by appointing Judge David I. Brewer of Kansas to the vacant place on the su¬ preme bench. Judge Brewer lias for several years been judge of the eighth judicial circuit. He lias become prominent by reason of liis strict construction of laws limiting the powers of corpora¬ tions. His railroad decisions have guaranteed, as far as any judicial deliverences in this coun¬ try, the right of the states to make all just and reasonable reg¬ ulations of railroad rates and management. It is a somewhat remarkable thing that such a man should be chosen as the successor of tlio late Stanley ’Matthews, whose appointment to the supreme court was understood to have been procured by corporate in¬ fluence. So strong was this im¬ pression on the Senate that when President Hayes sent in Matthews’ nomination it was rejected. Pres¬ ident Garfield renewed the nom¬ ination and Matthews was con¬ firmed by a majority of one. Will Murdock, the associate editor of the Catoosa Courier, was burned in effigy on the streets of Ringgold, on Monday, on ac¬ count of an article in liis paper reflecting on the people of the town. He was badly beaten in an indignation meeting held by citizens of the place on Thanks¬ giving day. R. M. Morris, the editor of the paper, lias not been seen since the article in question appeared, and it is reported that he lias fled through fears of vio¬ lence at the hands of the citizens. Mr. Edmunds expresses the opinion that the present session of congress will be a long one, and that very little will be done. Mr. Edmunds lias been in con¬ gress a long time and knows sometning about the fighting capacity of democratic minori¬ ties when republican majorities attempt to put through unpatri¬ otic and partisan measures. It is strange that the man who is dead in love with himself should be hated by everybody who knows him. State Treasurer Hardeman un¬ dertook a big job Wednesday. With the aid of three big drays . lie removed from the vaults of the old capitol all the executive vouches for money paid by the treasurer's department which have been issued since Georgia became a state. The three drays could just carry the load of pa¬ pers. They were divided into packages, each containing a year’s vouchers, and marked with the name of the governor who signed them. For several days Col. Hardeman will be kept busy sorting them, and -when they are in order they will be store 1 in the lower vault at the new capitol. Two flourishing Massachusetts cities, Lynu and Boston, were swept by fire recently—the com bine losses amounting to about fifteen million dollars. Thus the fire season opens up in lively fashion. It -behooves property holders in towns and cities to be prudent and watchful. Preven¬ tive is cheaper and better than cure. NOTICE TO CREDITORS. All parties having against the-estate of F.

If he does not locate permanently, he will likely make occasional stated visits to Jonesboro and vicinity for the benefit and convenience of the populace.—Jonesboro News.
