EDITORIAL COMMENT. emu mmbk wßrtmmmmmms** ■* -r*r -mm • *-fso*i <wrww Did yon ev er edit a papar' i boI, try it awhilu and see how yn like it. The Atlanta ihuniml has recent lv come out in anew dress, am. otherwise been improved. The North Geoigiu Meihodist Conference were in session at Ce dar town last week. ■ The cold and sharp blizzards are cutting a high hand in.the icy’ north. Much suffering of cattle. The 22nd. insl., Alinnasota was visited by heavy snow storms, do ing great damage to railroads and other property. It is not necessary to say the president hai been somewhat sold in the recent elections. lie is now trying to make votes in the South by turning out and making new appoinUnents at every little cross road posfeffice. The republican party wants more silver eained. The country does’nt want so much silver money. Hath er a change It. is burdensome to the mails; registered letters are bungiesome and weighty. Noth ing larger than a 25 cent, piece ought to be coined. The Journal is in receipt of Yol. I, No. 11, of the Alliance Farmer, published al Selnian, Fla., by W. 1?, Shields. The Alliance Farmer is a newsy sheet, it is just thes'ze the Journal will be between now and January—but it is sl, and the Journal will be 75 cents. As mentioned in ttie Journal ot last week, the two Athens papers have been consolidated, and are now published as one by The Ath ens Publishing Company. The new paper has niide its appear ance under the he id ing of The Athens Banner And Chronicle. Editors Gantt of the Banner, Stone A Christy of the Chronicle, main tdn their positions on the new pa per. We trust the new enterprise will be a success and the stock holder# will reap a large dividend. The 22u.1. inst., quite a tragedy occurred in New York City. Mrs. Hannah South worth, with a 38 Smith & Wesson pistol, shot Ste phen L. Pettus live times, killing him instantly on the sidewalk. Mr. Pettus was secretary and treasurer of the Brooklyn Elevated railroad, and a member of the firm of Pol lard, Pettus & Cos. Tiie crime for which Mrs. Southworfh killed Pet ius was a dastardly one. lie had betrayed her. She was a vouwg widow. Pettus was unmarried. Both were of good families. The Knights of Labor..

Surely, sit •!) a class as this in control of die government void be clangorous and certain disaster to the nation.

It, is not. likely the two organize'ions will combine. In a Box Car With a Tiger. There was a story in the Sun fc :e other day about an elephant that got. loose in Hoboken and made things lively for a number of men who were trying to get him to the Adams Express freight depat at the Courlland street ierry. He was finally shipped to the winter quarters tf Wallace <fc Anderson’s show in Peru, Ind., together with a car load ef other wild animals, and Edward Thieler, a young man ia the employ of Charley lieiche & Bro., went in the car with them. Among the animals was a Ben gal.tiger, four year; old, and o*'an ugly disposition. Young Thieler .vent al 1 the way to Peru in the an imal car, and returned to this city yesterday. ♦•Everything went smoothly be tween hero and Philadelphia, ’’ he told a reporter yesterday. ‘-Just be fore we reached Harrisburg, about two or three o’clock in the morn ing, I noticed that tlie tiger was getting uneasy, and found that he had torn several of the iron bars out cd the trout of bis box. lie was trying to get at a sacred cow, tied about four feet away. 4 T drove him back with a pitch- 1 fork and mov ;d the sacred cow out of his reach. When I next turned my attention to the tiger lie had forced his way out, I got behind the elephant, Prince, when the ti ger sprang for Prince’.* head. The elephant knocked him down with his trunk, bur. tbe liger went for him oguiu and the elephant dash ed th® beast against the car and stunned him, ‘T went for Mr. Anderson, who was in the smoker, and we manag ed to beat him back info his box aad fasten a wire screen over his cage.
