The Race Almost Ended
The famous race of Miss Nellie
Bly and Miss Elizabeth Bisland
is almost at an end.
Both will be in New York by
Monday, thus circling the globe
in seventy-four days, transcen
ding the most fanciful imaginings
of fiction or the dreams of naviga
l° rs -
From the reports in the New
York World, which is sending
Miss Bly around the world, one
would not know that Miss Bis¬
land is making a simular trip, and
trying to girdle the orb of tlie
world in seventy-five days.
But Miss Bisland is in the race
and is likely to win it.
While Miss Bisland is speed¬
ing to American shores as fast as
a sIoav ship can speed, clearing its
way through turbulent, storm
lasiied waters, Miss Nellie Bly is
fighting her way through Rocky
Mountain snow.
Miss Bisland's delay, if she has
any, will be due to the heavy
Bothnia and the north Atlantic
streams. She had won the race
to Brindisi, and it will bo too bad
if the slow Cunarder causes her
to lose on the home stretch.
Miss Bly reached San Francis¬
co at a time when heavy snow
storms had blocked the railways
running across the continent.
She has, according to the special
to The Journal, taken a more
soutliernly and a longer route
than she expected and has al¬
ready suffered a delay of ten
hours.
The question which will win,
is becoming more and more in¬
teresting.
A party of New Yorkers are to
go out in a fast steamship to in¬
tercept the sluggish Bothnia off
Halifax, put Miss Bisland on a
special train at Halifax and rush
her through to her destination.
She left Queenstown, Ireland,
Sunday, January 19 th. The
Bothnia should be off Halifax
Saturday evening or Sunday
morning, A fast train from Hal
ifax ought to make the run to
New York city in 12 hours, put¬
ting Miss Bisland in the met¬
ropolis Sunday night.
This would make her trip 73
days and 12 hours.
Miss Bly landed at San Fran¬
cisco at 9:30 a. m. yesterday.
This means 12:30 p. in. at New
York. She arrived twelve hours
later than expected, and has al¬
ready lost ten hours in her trip
east. She can hardly expect, even
with special trains, to reach New
York before Monday morning.
The chances seem to favor Miss
Bisland, who, if nothing unfore¬
seen happens, will win the race
by twelve hours or a full day.
The Walton News is responsi¬
ble for the statement that Mr.

Writing Famous Poems.

Bryant wrote “Thanatopsis” in
the shade of a grand old forest—a
fitting place for such a theme,
j Cowper wrote one of the ballads, droll
es t and quaintest English
“j 0 i m Gilpin’s Ride,” when he
was under one of those terrible
fits of depression so common to
him.
General Lytle wrote his beauti¬
ful composition, “Antony and
Cleopatra,” which begins, “I am
dying Egypt, dying,” 011 the night
before liis death. He had a pre¬
monition that he was going to die
the next day 7 .
“After the Ball,” the little poem
which has made the name of Nora
Perry known in the world of’ let¬
ters, was jotted down on the back
of an old letter, with no idea of
the popularity it was to achieve
in the pages of a noted magazine.
The “Old Oaken Bucket” was
first suggested to the author,
Samuel Woodworth, in a bar
room. A friend with whom he
was drinking said that when they 7
were boys the old oaken bucket
that hung in his father's well was
good enough for them to drink
from. Woodworth immediately
went home and wrote the famous
poem.
RHEUMATISM
Is undoubtedly caused by lactic
acid in tlie blood. This acid at¬
tacks the fibrous tissues, and
causes the pains and aches in the
back, shoulders, knees, Thousands ankles, of
hips, and wrists.
people have found in Hood’s Sar¬
saparilla a positive cure for rheu¬
matism. This medicine, by its
purifying action, neutralizes the
acidity of the blood, and also
builds up and strengthens ’ the
whole body. __
Tlie Massachusetts Press asso¬
ciation thinks of coming to Geor¬

The people of Franklin county
are better educated and stronger

The crops of 1890 were the best

COL. PEEK’S CARD.
At Home, near Conyers, Rock
dale county. Ga.—I scalded my
hand with steam from a boiler. 1
tried every imaginable remedy
without relief. I then sent to me
family physician. He sent me a
bottle of Mrs. Bush’s Specific,
and in fifteen minutes from first
application I was easy and fast
asleep. I regard it as the best
remedy of the day for burns and
scalds, Ac. Wm. L. Peek.

In a divorce case considered in
Chicago it appeared in the testi¬
mony that the man, objecting to
the sounds of sewing machines
about the house, deserted his wife
suddenly and without argument.
The wife was the applicant for tlie
divorce, which will probably be
granted. It is held that a man
has no right te desert his wife be¬
cause there is a sewing machine
j in the house.
