Atlanta has ordered the issu¬ ance of $150,000 city bonds, to mature in thirty years. It is said that the sleeves worn by the ladies now, wore in style two hundred and fifty years ago. The latest news from Cuba is that Maceo is dead, the .<• not nor *• 4 * rebellion crushed. There is still hope of Cuba’s independence. The reports from I! rads tree t are encouraging. The business outlook is better, and the pros pect for increase in trade flatter irig. John T. Waterman, a promi¬ nent member of the weekly press of Georgia, and private secre¬ tary of Speaker Crisp, died eud deuly in Atlanta Tuesday last. There seems to be no founda¬ tion for the report that there is a combination for Senator Gor¬ don to run for governor, and Sec rotary Hoke Smith for U. S. seu ator in ’96. 4 -_____ , -* , ___________. We sincerely hope that the feel¬ ing for better times financially will not be a disappointment. Business revived and money cir¬ culated would help everybody wonderfully. Gov. Atkinson bought the North-eastern railroad for $100, 000 for .the'State, whose indorse¬ ment is to the amount of $250 000 The governor will sell or lease the road. Editor Blackburn will issu’ a May-day edition of the Commer¬ cial. He is very modest in speak¬ ing of what he expects to fur iiish his readers and advertisers We like this kind of modest talk, and hope the issue will be a suc¬ cess. Spaiu’s insult and England’s threatening attitude towards our government at one time, provoked last week our *'Eng lish hull dog and American mas¬ tiff" remarks, and not the finan¬ cial status, as the Const itutioD has it. Tlie State Sunday school con¬ vention will meet at Waycross May 21, 22 aud 23. It is desir¬ ed that every Sunday school in the State be represenred. Del egates will be passed over rail¬ roads at full fare going and one third fare returning. The remains of JettVrson Da¬ vis. Jr., were reinterred in Hol¬ lywood cemetery, Richmond, Va., on the 12th inst. Appro priateceremonies were had. The same Confederate Hag used in the burial of his father was used on this occasion. There is a colored man in this county who has a fine reputa¬ tion as a successful (?) farmer. It is said that he made last 13 bales of cottou on three acres of land. So much that his head wool gathered iu calculations. Solicitor Candler yvith the help of the grand jury kindly aideo in solving the problem. Froni the Decatur New Era. ! “ A correspondent asks : ‘If i the Lord intended for women to j wear pauts why didn’t he make whiskers to grow ou theirehiu ?’ Easy to answer. The Lord knew site couid not keep her chin still long enough to get shaved.” On last Sunday night violent earth quake shocks prevailed throughout the southern portion of Austria All the churches, public buildings and business houses in La j back weredamagod Several people were killed by fall walls, and a number injured. The city churches throughout all this country observed Easter on last Sunday. Many went to show and to see the Ldies attir¬ ed in new bonnets and dresses ; others went to hear fine music, while a few, perhaps, went to observe the day in spiritual de¬ votion. Hon. T. B. Cabaniss of the flth congressional district has been appointed by the President one of the commissioners of the In¬ dian mission. The office is a good one having pay about equafl to that of congressman. It will take the commission about two years to the work. The newspapers all along the line are predicting more prosper¬ ous times, and one exchange sug gests that this is the way to bring it about. Many of our county papers are showing signs of improvement in business by the large advertising patronage ot the local business men. Judge Lumpkin, to whom was referred the school tax of Rich¬ mond county against Ga. R. R. Co. decided that the road is lia¬ ble for the tax from ’91 to ’95 in¬ clusive, without interest. The tax w ill pay to Richmond coun cy about $25,000 for the five years. Quite a suug sum fot the schools of xtichmond. ' The Rome Hustler in compli¬ menting the Atlanta Commer¬ cial refers to the Journal as sec¬ retary of the interior and the Constitution as secretary of the exterior. Now the Commercial has the city printing, wo may say that it is the secretary ol both the interior and exterior of Atlanta. The Cuban rebellion is about at an end. The killing of Gene ral Crombett and imprisonment of Major General Maceo, the two leaders, crippLs tlie rebellion so that Cubans will have to contin¬ ue under the oppression of Spain It appear:? now, while all Cuba ■wanted to be free, only a small portion were iu actual rebellion against Spanish rule. Col Livingst>n,who is now ab sent in Washington on busiuess will be home iu a few^ays. Hi has made himself (listinguisheu above his peers by his timely re¬ marks upon tl e Monroe doctriue and by tho interest felt in the affairs of Venezuela. The cit¬ izens of this far off country will immortalize his name by trans latinghis speech iu Spanish, pen¬ ning a sonnet in his praise, and projecting a statue to his honor. China and Japan have signed a treaty, settling the vvar. Chi ua has made great concessions. The treaty was sigued ou the 16th, and the terms are; 1. The independence of Corea. 2. Jap¬ an retains the conquered places. 3. Japan retains the territory east of the Liau river. 4. Jap¬ an gets permanent possession of Formosa. 5. China pays Jap¬ an $100,000,000 indemnity. 6 An offensive aud defensive alli¬ between Japan and The Augusta Chronicle is buoy aut over the enterprise and pros perifcy of Augusta. J aking data from this and other points, the Chronicle concludes that the country is now on eve of pros-! perit-y, which has not been known for several years such a wave of success as will enable the people to remember the hard times only by contrast. We hope the statement is true, and that all business will revive, for when business revives every¬ body will feel better. We are sorry to see such sistent efforts by the Baptists of tire State to encourage and or¬ ganise young people’s unions in connection with the church. \Y e believe that if everybody would live up to their profession of faith and the law as laid down by the Master there would be no need of union?,Christian associations, etc. The more successful these organizations,the more the chuch is robbed of its power and influ¬ At a rural town in Georgia there is a hotel which does not abound in modern conveniences On the porch is a sign which reads : “Persons wishing to take a bath will please notify Mr. Jones half an hour before hand, so that he can have the creek dammed up.”—Haverhill Ga¬ zette. If our contemporary will be a little more explicit in locat¬ ing that town and identifying Mr. Jones, he will probably en¬ joy a similar experience with the creek.—Augusta Chronicle. In his letter declining an invi¬ tation of leading business men of Chicago to be present at a banquet in his honor, President Cleveland sets forth his financial policy. He is honest in his com victions, and from the stand¬ point taken it would seem that, his reasoning is clear beyond suc¬ cessful contradiction. However, it has not been often in the ;his tory of this country the masses have erred at the ballot box, and f this question were settled to¬ day by the people, exercising their Democratic right at the polls, there would be ten to one or free silver and opposed to the gold standard. MONEY KINGS. According to the Chambers Journal there are seventy citi¬ zens who are worth the sum of three billion dollars—au average of thirty-seven millions each; Besides there are fifty other per¬ sons in tlie United States worth over ten millions each. These are bewildering figures. If wealth continues to concentrate tn the hands of a few in the east for another generation as it has done iu the past the southern and A’estern states will be mere provinces, and the politics, legis¬ lation, commerce, industry and society of the entire country will be dominated by a few hundred families in several of the New England and middle states. Are we soon to reach a point where a few money kiufs will elect presidents and congresses, and shape the destinies of the nation with all the absolute power of a despotism ? But will this concentration of wealth continue? We cannot believe it. Conditions have chang ed iu the past, and we may ex oect them to change in the fu¬ ture.—Atlanta Constitution.

Today is the election on the school bond question. It is hop¬ ed that every citizen who lias the interest of his children at heart will vote—both white and colored. The colored people will get their apportionment of the funds. The school system is now in progress', and more room is wanted to conduct the exercises successfully. Let everybody go to the polls today and cast their votes for bonds. A failure to authorize the issuing of bonds wil necessitate the levying a di¬ rect tax upon the properly of t) $ citizens, than costing a great deal{ more the long term bonds. YOU SHOULD GET IT ..
