Mr. Hansell Hunter begs leave to i
state that it was not owing to the j
thinness of his limbs, but the thinness j
of his stockings that made it necessa-;

The two new drop curtains, and the

displayed in making Amusement Hall
so lovelv and attractive. It is to be
hoped that the people will appreciate
his efforts and will patronize the
troupes that visit us this season.
Louise Balfe.—At the Amuse
ment Hall, Thursday night Miss Lou
ise Balfe supported by a fine troupe,
presented to a delighted and highly
appreciative audience the fine and ex
cellent play, “Dag war.” Miss Balfe
as “Dagmar” is perfectiv superb and
her superior on the stage has never
been seen in our city. On account of
this being Fair week, and most of our
people away from home, the attend
ance was quite small, but it is to be
hoped that she will be welcomed by a
crowded house on her next visit here,
which will be next January, so we
are informed.
Mrs. Martha Smith, a widow lady,
who lives in Hancock county, near
the line of Baldwin, on the Oconee
river had her residence and all her
out houses on the place, consisting of
kitchen, cribs, stabies, servants hous
es &c., burned on Sunday evening,
“4th inst, All of her corn and fod
der and that belonging to her son-in-
law Mr. Joe Brundage, who lived in
the bouse with her, and to Mr. Allie
Smith who farmed with her, were
burned. The fire originated in an
out house, in which the children had
been playing, and in which was some
hamring, but how cau " bt 1S un 7
known Being first to catch m an out
house the furniture, clothes, &c., in
the dwelling were saved. This is a
Sreat misfortune to come upon this
family, as the loss cannot be replaced
by them.
Lunatic Asylum.
The annual report of Dr. T. O.
Powell, Superintendent, &c., shows
that on the 1st of October, 1885, there
were white patients 892 on hand, and
345 colored, making a total of 1,237.
There have been received during the
year 274 whites, and 117 colored, mak
ing a total reception of 391. There
have been discharged, removed, re
turned to counties, and died during
the year, of both white and colored,
390, leaving on hand 1st October,
1886, 1,2 8.
The average number of patients
under treatment during the year was
1,237, while the whole number receiv
ing treatment was 1,028.
The cost of maintenance is 33| cents
per patient, per day, or $123.19 per
year. There is but one other similar
institution in the United States where
the cost of maintenance is so small,
viz: the Asylum at Weston, West
Virginia, where the cost is $114.23 per
annum, while at Bloomingdale, New
York, the cost per patient, per annum,
is $758.33. The proportionate num
ber of insane to the population in
Georgia, is 1 to every 908. There are
only fourteen States and Territories
in the U. S., which have a larger pro
portion of insanity to the population
than Georgia. The chief causes of
insanity are, Hereditary Tendency,
111 Health, and Alcoholism.
We learn from Judge D. B. Sanford
that the county or quart liquor li
cense was issued this year subject to
prohibition. After the court declar
ed in favor of prohibition the quart
dealers were allowed to continue the
sale up to the expiration of retail li
censes, on the 8th of December, when
prohibition will go into full force and
effect. We also learn that this decis
ion of the Ordinary will probably be
contested.
Scenes in a Printing Office.
Proof-reader—“Say, how do you
spell helpmeet, meaning the bride,
when a fellow gets married?”
1st com positor— ‘ ‘H-e-l-p-m-e-t-e. ’’
Charlie, eleven years old—“H-e-l-p-
m-e-a-t.”
Impatient Proof-reader—“Oil the
true way is, ‘Help-liim-eat. 1
Proof-reader—“Say! I want to look
over that copy you are setting up.”
Compositor—“Well do make haste,
I've no time to spare.”
P-R—“Oh, don't be impatient. If
you hurry a fellow walking a small
log over a creek, don't you know lie’ll
be sure to fall in?”
Sharp small Compositor—“Yes, and
then he would be a fellow that ‘fell
low 1 sure enough.”
And then there was a laugh, and it
was voted that the “small composi
tor” was getting to be of a razorish
sharpness and somewhat dangerous.
