We believe it U generally agreed that the Humpty Dumpty of George Adams* troupe, is lho best of the kind that has been to Athens. Every expression that we have heard has been of unqualified praise. Mr. Ad ams himself is a star actor in liiw hue, and his support is worthy of him. From beginning to end of the per formance, the’nudienco was captiva ted. The jugglery was first class; the ventriloquism we have never seen surpassed; the acrobutisin wao mar velous; and the general humpty- duroptyiiun ot the performance can not ha excelled by any company on the boards. The company won golden opinions by its superb acting, nnd when they return next. Friday night, another good audience will greet them. It is uuques'iouably true that they cannot be surpassed. Protect the KirtR Protect the birds. Keep the hun ters off yaur grain crops. The worms are doing great damage to wheat, oats, etc, but where the land has been posted, and the birds are allow ed to destroy the worms, there is no damage done to tiio grain. Farmers remember this; one bird is worth twenty small boys and colored galoots with guns in your grain fields. The above, which we copy from an exchange, is wot thy of attention. It is the fashion in this country for eve ry white boy, nnd negro of any nge, who is not regularlyjemployed, to make a regular crusade against the birds every spring. It is accounted sport to go to the fields with au old single barrel gun, and slaughter birds wLich as gamo don’t ainouut to a cir« cu instance. The law' of the state prohibits this to ncerum extent, but the law is regarded very little. The beat w ay to atop it, perhaps, is aa suggested above. Lot each land holder |>oat hit land, and if. this can become general, the hunting business will be aimostcompeiled to atop. we understand, because iu counec tion with his business of stone masons ry, Ho thought it might be profitable. It turns out fo be otherwise. Mr. Chappie, not desiring ?o attend lo all the details of cemetery woik and re main in the cemetery all the time,**in- ployed Mr. Daniel as sexton, agree- ing to guarantee him a dollar a day. out of the lee-*. This would have worked very well, but the fees did not amount to the salary which was guaranteed by Mr. Chappie. In 1880 they were only ♦52, and 1881 only 8105. The bal ance Mr. C. had to pay. At the close of 1881, he told Mr. Daniel that he was unable to employ him longer on these terms, as a large portion of the ton’s pay had to come out of his own pocket; nnd he proposed to ive Mr. Daniel the sexton’s place and h't him look to the fees for his compensation. This Mr. Daniel de clined to do, as the fees would not amount to w hat he considered just remuneration, Mr. Chappie then had to find somebody who would take the place for the fees, and he selected Dennis Clayton, a colored man, who had been from time to time employed by parties to dig graves. Dennis, it seems, is objectionable, and there is necessity for a change. The matter is not very difficult of solution. The only trouble is, that the fees of the office are not sufficient to pay a responsible party for holding it. That trouble can he remedied by the city council appropriating a cer* tain sum of money every year, lo pay the sexton’s salary, in addition to his foes. The trustees, under this plan, might still have charge of the ceme tery, and to them the sexton would be responsible. The want of funds to pay a good sexton is the main dif ficulty, and those can be supplied and ought to be—even If they have to come direct from the city treasury. This would be an additional expense to the city, it is true; but it is a nec essary expense, and the city of Ath ens is nut so poor that she cannot pay' all necessary expenses. .Meanwhile, we are glad to see the matter agitated. Agitation will most probably bring improvement. 8,0l 0 yards Jaconet and Lawn Embroideries in 6$ yard lengths, eles gaut styles al very low prices, at . G. A J. Cohen’s. The Inith. The following is true, of course, as we copy it from the esteemed Augus ta News: ‘A merchant nmy quietly sit down in bis storo and never advertise, and grumble about dull trade, but then he will never get rich.
