Mr. Hubbard, a young busi¬ ness man of Atlanta, visited Mr W. J. Terry’s family last Sun¬ day. We think he found him a girl while here.

Some of the war claims which are being filed at Washington illustrate what there is of pa triotism and gratitude in cer¬ tain of the Cuban “patriots.” The claim of Dr. Castillo of San dago is a case in point. He own ed some cocoanut trees near Siboney, lie alleges that tlie trees were injured by the Amer¬ ican troops, and he modestly re¬ quests that he be paid $35,000 damages. He wishes this gov. ernment to pay him and his people for toe privilege of free¬ ing them from the Spanish yoke, as it were. Those Cubans have pitched upon our attenuat¬ ed Uncle Sam as a party having a leg peculiarly fitted for pulling may find to their sorrow before a great while that the leg is particularly vigorous in kicking. —Ex. Sumter county is one 0 f t ] ie latest to be added to the list of “dry”counties in Georgia, Grad ually the local option law is get ting in its work of driving out whisky. Only a few of the counties and the larger towns are now <l wet, ” and the num¬ ber of them is steadily decreas mg.

She Savannah Press that the word protocol comes from two Greek words—‘‘pro DOS, J 1 •‘first,” and ‘‘kolon,” ‘‘to glue, ) > It was a piece of paper the introduction of a treaty or public document, glued on as a preliminary of index. In dip¬ lomacy protocol means the min¬ utes or rough draft of an instru¬ ment or transaction, hence the original copy of any dispatch, treaty or document. A proto¬ col serves as a preliminary or jpening of any diplomatic traus action. It is reported that a Philadel¬ phia shipbuilding firm lias just closed a conti act with the Rus— sian government for the con structipn of two battleships aud three cruisers. Our own gov¬ ernment has in course of con¬ st! uction some twentw, more or less, warships of various sorts, aud as many more in contem¬ plation. The outlook, therefore, is for extraordinary activity iu the iron, steel, coal and ship¬ building industries iu the near future.—Ex, A white minister at a colored wedding said, ••On such occa sious as tins it is customary Kiss the bride, but in this case we will omit it.” To this un¬ clerical remark the indignant, bridegroom perliueutly replied - . “On such occosions as this it customary to give the minister ten dollars, but in this case we will omit it.” FIRE INSURANCE.

The voter stands by the Dem« ocratic party whether lie likes the candidate or not, is the kind of Democrat to be trusted. The fel¬ low who “takes to the wood*” when he does not get what he wants is worth little to hig party, and has small grounds upon which to base his claims of being a Democrat.—Valdosta Times. Some pt rsous were recently fear fill lest Spaiusbould beat usin diplomacy. What do they think of it now, since McKinley has got the whole Spanish nation studying the dictionary in an elfort to ascertain what lie meant by the language of the Philippine section of the peace protocol?—Ex. Texas has over 34,000,000 chickens. The preachers havn’t been there yet. The only thing about a game of chance is the chance you have to lose. The bonds of friendship could not be more popular than Uuc’e Satn’8.
