Aggie stands ready to sell out to us at the same price we paid Spain. About th® only “change” in sight is that servad by Jupited Pluviua. Don't wound your neighbor’s self love,and he will forgive yoi j all else. Georgia ships cattle to Texas, now let’s begin shipping Logs te Chicago. Even in this day and genera tion, many people are broken on the wheel. Brass knocks are now classed with concealed weapons when worn eoncealed.

Private Moore, of Maine, bugged a Savannah lady and was sentenced to 12 months. Pri vate Moore should be promptly shot for ung.Jlantry if he begs I pardon. Having been to Savan nah, we are of the opinion that Private Moore is a man of as much daring as he is of splendid judgement. The lady he em braced will doubtless remember the Maine, Moore. The co«t of keeping the whole 6f Europe on a military and naval looting is considerably over one billion dchais. The most recent statistical tables show the cost to Russia to be over $255,000,000; Great Britain $190,000,000: France $185,000, 000 Mud Germany $130,000,000 T s all nations were as indiffer ent to the growth or decline of their shipping in the foreign tride as the United States are, then our humiliating position ■on :h i s u is might bit laid to the | 1 > >r of th j people themselves ibu’ individual effort cannot equal national effort. ._il!

The effect of this is not to be measured so much by the amount of the raise as by the inspiration it will give the men to feel that they are once again on the ascending scale . 6ood wage- to empl >yeo is one of the strongest frimud. iio'is of a city’s prosi'erity.
