An exchange asks why Judge Atkinson hasten to have the people understand he is not re¬ lated to the governor? It is true the Judge and the gover¬ nor are no kin by blood, but politically they may -be classed as twin brothers, in the opinion of The Times—Recorder, American politics consists of the rolling of logs, the pulling of wires aud the laying of pipes Don’t fail lo lay up something for a rainy day, even if its noth ing more than a borrowed umr brella. It Kept, that Col Wright; the camptroiler general, is the only state official who will have no opposition for election. - - There are 287 weekly papers in Georgia. The number of public offices, state and county, to be filled this year may be thus summar¬ ized: State house, 11 : Congres¬ sional, 11: Legislative, 210. County, 1400. Tatal 1641- It is. estimated that not less than 5,000 candidates will be in the field for tho 1641 ofiices A legal question is about to be raised.over the case of Tom Brown, a Macon tailor who is confined in the lunatic asylum at Milledgeville, but who has asked the British government to rescue him from the asylum, on the ground that he is unjust¬ ly imprisoned and has never taken naturalization papers in this country, aud is still a Brit ish subject* The British consul at Charleston has begun an in¬ vestigation, and finds that Mr. Brown is a subject of the mother country, as lie claims. “Yankee Doodle” is a stirring tune. So is “Dixie.” Now let us combine the most patriotic words and the most inspiring bars in each into one song, and the whole nation join in a chorus until barbarity is driven from the Western hemisphere and lib¬ erty justice reign everywhere in the New World, ( i I regard marriage as the holiest institution among men. Without the fireside there is no human advancement; without the family relations, there is no life worth living. Every good government is made up of good The unit of good gov eminent is the famil y aud any f thing that tends to destroy the family is perfectly deviiish and infamous.’’—Bob Ingersoll. The Americas Herald declares that the peanut, popgun and,pos sum politicians may whoop and yell all they please, but the or¬ dinary common people of Geor¬ gia. have decided to have a hand in politics this year and they will see to it that the of. flees will be filled by men who do not go in loaded down with promises to political heelers. The newspaper is photograph oc the town it represents, and is the only evidence its readers have away from home of the town prosperity. In order to make the impression good every business firm should be repre¬ sented by a standing advertise¬ ment, aud the larger the better. Uuder the amendment to the state constitution increasing the number of supreme court Judges and making them elective by the people Justices Little, Cobb and Fish were chosen. The terms o£ the three are two, four and six years, aud they were appointad by lot- To Justice William H. Fish fell the short¬ est term, so that his election comes up this year before the people, the first under the new j law. He is a candidate for re election and will no doubt re¬ j ceive it at the hands of the peo¬ ! ple. He has made a good re¬ cord on the bench. and will be given the popular endorsement of re-election. On the bench a man becomes more valuable .with continued service where he has the auj qualifications for the poaitiot, the ambition to make reputation os a With con-; (jientious and able jurist. competent man m the positions dhe fewer changes that are made in the judiciary the better for ail. w* - Up-To=Date Murriage Ceremony. The following marriage cere mony. used by Squire Tunk Blossom, of Bill Williams Irict, shows an up to ness that is astonishing for such a conservative community Bill Williams district: “Young lady will you promise to take this helpless young gos lin you hold by the hand and see that he wants for nothing: will you guarantee to stand between him and the poor house; fan him when he is well and send for the doctor when he is sick: pro¬ vide him anew suit twice a year and always see that his supply stove wood is dry and con¬ venient, until the divorce courts shall intervene? If you feel like undertaking a little matter like that deposit twenty dollars with me as a gonrantee that he will be well-cared for, and take tiie goslin, and light out.’' The Moon in the Nor« h R- N.Peary, the Arctic explo:- j er, in renly to a letter in regard ! to the moon at the extreme North, says; “The length of the lunar month in the Arctic regions is the same as here, but as a re¬ sult of the higher latitude, the moon is above the horizon con¬ tinuously for several days at a time of full moon: In the lat¬ itude of tuy headquarters on tho northern shore of Whale Sound, in the latitude of 77 degrees, 40 minutes north, each full moon remained above the horizon for; eight or ten days. The length of the winter in this latitude is from, the 20th of October until the 14th of February, and there are consequently three winter moons* > r A’SIick Fakir.
