Over 1 000 tons of cotton seed
were shipped from Covington dur¬
ing the past fall.
Speaker Carlisle ha* notified the
committees in Atlanta and Macon
that he cannot come to Georgia at
this time.
ft Capt. C. P. Crawford of Milledge
ville writes a communication to the
Macon Telegraph urging the neces¬
sity of relieving the Supreme
Court Judges of some of their bur¬
dens, by dividing the state i*to two
judicial departments, with an ap¬
pelate court in each and with ap¬
peal to the highest court. ,
Some desperate life convicts in
the Dade coal mines were foiled the
other day in a deep laid and vil¬
lainous scheme to murder the
guards and escape. It was ex¬
tremely fortunate that the discov¬
ery was made in time, as the loss
of lile would doubtless have been
terrible.
Atlanta’s new directory gives her
72,000 inhabitants. The directory
states that there are in Atlanta ten
chartered and private banks, with
an aggregate capital of $2,225,000;
there are 140 miles of streets, and
190 separate streets, 240 miles 01
sidewalks, sixty of which are pav¬
ed and curbed. There are 151,000
feet of sewerage,
The line dividing the red and
gray lands in Oglethorpe county is
very distinct. Last week Alex
Glenn ditched out his spring
branch, and for several hundred
yards one bank of the ditch is of
one quality of soil and the other
hank of the other. The difference
in vegetation growing on these two
soils is easily detected.
The following are the state elec¬
tions that will be held this year
prior to the great presidential con¬
test and the many congressional
elections in November : Alabama,
August 6; Aikausas, September 3;
Georgia, October 3; Maine, Sep¬
tember 10; Oregon, June 4 ; Louis¬
iana, April 17; Vermont, Septem¬
ber 4. Maine, Oregon and Ver¬
mont will elect congressmen on the
same date as their state elections.
All the other states will elect con¬
gressmen in November.
Dr. T. O. Powell and Hon. R. N.
Lamar, of Milledgeville, are on the
committee appointed by the last
legislature to consider the advisa¬
bility 01 establishing an inebriate
asylum. The committee is compo¬
sed of distinguished gentlemen from
different parts of the state, and is a
very able and conscientious body
of men. Dr. Powell, who is one of
the best authorities on tho subject
in the state, thinks the state should
no longer delay in preparing a
training school for weak minded
and idiotic children.
The Military Company now have
their arms and are in splendid fix.
Doubtless they will parade one day
during court week. This reminds
us that on Wednesday the 22d
there will be an entertainment for
the benefit of the Volunteers. It
will be a most interesting and ei -
joyable occasion. The young men
have in this movement displayed
the proper spirit of enterprise and
if encouraged by the citizens prop¬
erly they will make the company
an honor to the town and county,
To attend this entertainment
be encouraging the boys. It will
not be a donation by any moans to
pay the 25 cents admission, for it
is positively certain that the enter
toinment will be well worth the
money expended.
