The invitations having been issued a week ago, Secretary Bayard specially requested the president that it should not he postponed, Commissioner Sparks of the Land c>Hl ( *c Holds the awful tenor of his way against the land thieves out west. He has never been Jn the least perturbed by the threats of as sassinaticn lie has received from per¬ sons to whom he has refused land patents. There is probably more indignation against him in Dakota than any other locality. The com¬ missioner has just expressed his in¬ flexibility in a letter sent to that ter¬ ritory. lie said: “I do not propose to confirm fraudulent entries, and I do progose to find out those which are honest and to separate them from those which arc found to be othor. wise.” The way to wealth i» as P lai » the way to market. It depends chiefly on two words, industry and frugality; that is. waste neither time nor money, but make the best use of both. Without industry and frugality nothing will do, and with them, everything. Moody and Sankey are booked for an appearance in Savannah in March. Mr. Hammond will have the naming of a postmaster at G rlfiin next month. Only two applications are filed, one republican, T. W. Thurmond, the present incumbent, wfio has a large petition asking that he bo retained. The democratic applicant is M. O. Bowdoin, who is a relative of Mr. Hammond by marriage. It is stated, on good authority, that the republi¬ can will go. Brother Talmagc lectured in New York the other night on the “Absur dities of Evolution.” In conclud¬ ing he said “the human race started with men ten feet high and capable of living- over 800 years. Now we pee young men evolved from Europe¬ an travel with spiked shoes, noovrr coat, a swinging stoop gait, a sin gle eyeglass and countenances weak¬ ly imitating English imbecility. Isn’t this evolution backward?” There were several dudes in the audience, upon whom many eyes were turned by the desorption. It seems that Mr. Talmage’s doctrine is that the monkey evolved from man, and not man from monkey. Two doctors were disputing by the bedside of a man during his illness. “I tell you the liver is dis¬ eased,” said one. “Nonsense! noth¬ ing* of the kind. It is the spleen, said the other. “Very well, we shall see who is right at the post mortem ex¬ amination.” Hearing which the pa *ient became real mad and got up and dressed himself. He began to improve from that time and hasn't known a eic *k day since. A man calling himself Fitzgerald, who has been about Elberton for the last two or three weeks advocating negro equality, offered an insult to a lady about some business transac¬ tion. Friday the enraged husband of the lady met tbe man in the post office, and without any ceremony commenced trailing him with a whip staff. Others joined iu with cow¬ hides and buggy whips and gave him a thorough drubbing. After it was over he was furnished with an escort to conduct him out of town um,or a plom,se t0 - Col.

I HOW TO GET ALCisG. i Don’t stop to tell stories in busi¬ . ness hours. If you have a place of business, be found there when wanted. Ko man can get rich when sitting around stores and saloons. Never “fool” in business matters. Have order, system, regularity,and also promptness. Do not meddle with business j r ou know nothing of. Do not kick every one in your path. More miles can be made in a day by going steadily than by stopping. Pay as you go. A man of honor respects his word as he does his bond. Help others when you can, but never , give what you cannot afford to, simply because it is fashionable. Learn to say no. No necessity of snapping it out dog-fashion, but say it firmly and respectfully. Use \ our brains, rather than those of others. Learn to think and act for your self. Keep ahead rather than behind tbe times. Young man, cut this out and if there be anv * fallacy in the argument lcl U(J know it> A contemporary w ho does ;y>t re¬ alize that every woman is the archi¬ tect of her fortune, wants the girls to advertise for proposals when they desire to build up homes.

Wise, of Virginia, and Representive Boutelkq ol Maine, had a rather spicy debate in tire House Friday relative to al leged removal of Federal inscriptions at the Norfolk navy yard. It is not probable that Mr. Boutelle will care to stir up the Virginia Congressman again soon. P. F. Lawshe, whose paper—the Southron—was burned out in the re cent Gainesville fire, has found out that all the names on the book are not good for the money. He urges them to come up and pay what they owe, at the same time asking other papers to “please copy in behalf of a brother journalist in a tight place.” W. H. Stephenson has purchased the Hartwell Sun. J. II. Magill re¬ mains as editor. It- is said that in Taylor county there i3 a justice of the Peace who acts as judge, jury and administra tor. Not long ago he tried a case of divorce between two colored people. He put the ease to trial as a judge and decided that both parties were entitled to a divorce as a jury, and proceeded to administer on the ef¬ fects of the parties, giving the wo man her share and the man Iris. It is presumed also that his little fee came along towards the last. A very loquacious lady, calling one day to see her physician, talked on and on with such volubility that tbe lather could not get in a word edgeways. Growing impatient he at length told her to put out her tongue which she did. lie then said: “Now please keep it there until you have heard what I have got to say to you.” Several years ago a certain clerk in Eatonton, being drunk, went into cellar of the store to •*“» .<**•»<* ff: At proprietor chaiged mm up five dol lars for storage and lost time. An other merchant, on a like occasion, made a similar charge against his clerk.

The ground has been secured in the neighborhood of the orphan asylum, and convenient to the street car line. Sixty feet of the bridge across South river, at Panola, fell in on the night of the 19th. No one was on it. A man on horseback had just gone off. Travelers were put to a great deal of inconvenience, no bridge be¬ ing nearer than three miles. Col. It. M. Clarke is constructing a ford but if the river rises it cannot be used. Commissioner Henderson has planted a bed of tobacco seed at the Department of Agriculture for ex perimcntal purposes. There are in the South Georgia Conference 213 preachers and over 39,000 church members, 451 Sunday schools, 2,800 teachers and over 21, 000 scholars. A negro lias been elected Mayor of LaPpyette, Walker county, Georgia. This was done in a joking spirit, because the charter of that town had been changed against the protest of its citizens. We fear the joke has been carried too far and the people of LaFayette will realize it too soon. In the past year the richest Amer¬ ican merchant, II. B. Cliaflin, the riches American railroad man, W. II. Vanderbilt, and the richest Amcri .can planter, Edmond Richardson, died. It is notable that not one of the three died in his bed. One dropped dead at bi3 desk; another in his hall, and the other in the street. This forces the suggestion, says the Constitution, that iho over¬ work of accumulating and maintain vital ing a vast fortune, snapped the chord for each of the millionaires. Gladstone, serene and steadfast at 80, and Vanderbilt tumbling dead from his chair, contrasts tbe sensi¬ ble English life with the wasteful haste of Americans. If, by some sudden convulsion of nature everybody in the world should be killed, except one man and woman, most of the arts would be destroyed, but the male members of the generations that would spring from this pair would leave the doors open at the wrong time, and the females would wear bangs.

In it may be seen some thing of that intangible thing called good will, which so many have often tried to define; “The strong attachment of sub¬ scribers to a well-conducted news¬ paper is fully confirmed by all pub lishers. ‘Stop my paper,’ words of dread to beginners in business, lose their terror after a paper has been established a few years. So long as a paper pursues a just, honorable and judicious course, meeting the wants of its customers in all respects the ties of friendship between the subscribers aud the papers are as hard to break by an ouside third par¬ ty as tbe link which binds old friends in business of social life. Occasional defects and errors in a newspaper are overlooked by those who have become attached to it through its perusal for years. They sometimes become dissatisfied with on account of something which Isas slipped into its columns, and may stop taking it; but the absence of the familiar sheet at their homes and offices for a few weeks becomes an insui portable privation, and they take it again, and possibly apol ogize for having stopped it. No friendship on earth is more constant than that contracted by the reader for a journal which makes an earn est effort to merit its continued sup¬ port. Hence, a conscientiously con ducted paper becomes a favorite in the family.” L. S. Means, of Oxford, has brought suit in Bibb Superior Court through his attorney’, B. H. Hill of Atlanta, against the Macon Tele¬ graph for $10,000 T he suit is based on some article published in that pa per last summer, which ho claims was libelous. Dr. J. If.

Jones, proprie¬ tor of the Jacksonville (Fla.) Tiinc-s Union, stated that it is his intention so soon as he is able to take time from his official duties, to make « trip south, visiting a number of the principal cities and points of inter¬ est. He said lie mu h desired to ac¬ cept the invitation to Atlanta some time since, but was dot-erred by tho fact that he could not at that time extend his trip to other points as de¬ sired, lie expresses great interest in the south and its prospects, and desires to see for himself its many features ofinteie t.
