us as to whether we are legally entitled to
said sxtension. And whereas the present
ordinances requires license to be taken out
on the 1st ol Feb. 1891, and hold for one
year thcreirom. Now therefore it is mutially
agreed between said parties to wit: The

A man who was afraid of thunder
crawled into a holler log as a place of
safety during a thunder storm. The
thunder rolled and the rain poured
down in torrents, and the old log be
gan to swell up ttll tile poor fellow
was wedged in so tight he could not
get out. All his past sins began pasi-
ug before him. Suddenly he remem

There has been a change in the
business managership of the Her

Mr. R. E. Butler, wholes been on

The issue in Illinois was tlie election
of Senator Palmer. The Democrats
gjirried the state by 130,000, but, have
not been able to control tlie Legisla
ture. Lincoln carried the state over
Douglas in" 1858, hut the latter had
eight majority in the General As
sernhly. The people are now talking
of submitting theeleotion of the Uni ten
States senators directly to the people.
This is a radical departure from present
law and usage, and should not be
adopted. It destroys the theory upon
which the Senate was constructed.—
Augusta Chronicle.
Governor Northeu did not meet Mr.
Jay Gould during his stay in Atlanta.
The governor was invited to tiie re
ception by the committee. To the
uvitatiou he gave courteous reply
that Mr. Gould did not come to
Georgia iu an official capacity, that he
was not iu sympathy with Mr. Gould’s
business methods, and, therefore,
while not ouly willing but nnxious to
meet the other gentlemen of the par
ty, he felt that he could not consist
ently meet Mr. Gould iu such a way
as must give endorsement to him. As
a consequence, the governor was ah
sent from the various receptions.—

The pension bill passed by the
Senate appropriates $134,979,000.
This is not all, as Senator Allison,
in charge of the bill, stated that
about ten millions in addition to
this sum would he spent within
the year, that was provided for.
All the other governments in the
world»put together hardly spend
more than half of $145,000,000 for
pensions.
Robert Buchanan, the poet, novel
ist and reviewer, was a poor Scotch
village boy a score of years ago, with

Circumstantial evidence is not at
all a safe basis for a lynching enter

in Missouri, where a mob came very
near lynching two Indians for the

than hare suspicion should be re
lied upon if such summary measure*
are to he resorted to on any ac

dinarily cured in severe c.v.u», but they may
be averted by timely medication. A useful
stimulant of the urliiarv glands has ever been
found in Hosteller's Stoinaeh Diuera, a med
icine which not only afford' the requisite
stimulus when they become inactive, but in
crease. their vigor and .ccrotive power. By

effect of expelling from the blood impurities
which it is the peculiar office of those organ,
to eliminate ana pase off. The Bitter! is algo
• purifier and .trenpthener of Ihe bowels, an
invigorant of the stomach, and a matchless
remedy for biliousness and fever and ague. It
counteracts a tendency to premsture decay,
and sustains and comforts tho aged and
infirm.
—Tho origin and significance of
the phrase, “Honi soit qui mal v
pense?” dates "back in tbe four
teenth century. At a ball giv
en by Edward III. of England,
about tbe year 1350, the Countess
of Salisbury dropped her garter.
The beholders laughed, but the
king picked tbe garter up and gave
it back to tbe countess, saying at
the same time. “Honi soit qui mal y
pense?”—let him be shamed who
evil thinksafid adding.—“that short
ly they would see that garter ad
vanced to so high an honor and re
nown as to account themselves hap
py to wear it.” Thereafter be foun

the greatest orders of chivalry,

by • King Edwa rd.
