All the same, somebody ought t* Rje damming the Etowah. The pops will never rise to pop -again. They have done popped. Rome is located near the coal fields but “free coal” is not in it with us. A literary genius remarks that Japan needs an epic and China an epitaph. Congress will try to pass the ap propriation bill be'o e it ;s so ced to resign March 4th. Life is too short to croak or to listen, and time is too precious to listen to croakers. When last heard from the Dem ocrats of the South Dakota Legis lature wasKaw kussiug. Cong has but convened and already the President Jongs for a few days of squirrelous irresponsi bility. The Nicaragua Canal and the Pacific Railroads pr sent two im portant subjects for legislation this winter. The editorial columns of the Brunswick Times, fairly glistens these days. Editor Wrench is oper ating a Jewelry store. Bill Fleming seems to have made a good Speaker of the House. And Augusta may well feel pr»ud of her illustrious sou. Fortunately for the Czarriua, who is an excellent type-writer her husbaud, the Czar is a migh ty (dictator Many a lazy old bachelor is wait ing for “fre» raw material’’ legis lation so that they can marry the cook and fall on the'rest. There may be a little gambling going on in Rome, but it’s precious little. Rome is a remarkably mor _>l»rity—all things konsidered. 4 The improvement in the Atlan ta Journal is decidedly marked. The Journal’s least wire is power fully lively in getting the knews. .A recent reception given to Mr. Mn. Russell Sage at Troy. N. Y. has become famous in that city jis she only “Sage tea” on record lie re. Now that kongress has pigeon hold the popgun bills old Joe Can non cught to be dropped in a well —end then every body let well enough alone. r Lon Livingston was the only *" »rgia members who found flow- •s n his desk. Lon is sometimes ter the Sub-treasury alway fter “something better.” All of Senator Peffer’s bile have been killed in committee. Peffer’s remaining stock-in-trade as a statesman consists of a short mem ory and a long beard. '-’Give us the out-of date girl, for she is a little bit more modest, and Dinh sweeter than _our up-to-day feminine friend. Altho’a woman’s a’womanfora’ that, etc.—Augusta f.Th« father of triplets in White h i'll, N. Y. has written to secretary of State Palmer, to know if he is entitled to a bounty . He isn’t but if he ket pjj on at this rate he will aoop £ bounty. Already our devil has struck us for a pass to th* big Atlanta Ex position. Our devil knows a good thing—when he sees it coming and —generally arranges to loap along with it. The Hubtlkr of Rome thanks t he good people for the many good things being said about it. We may not have fifteen or twenty thousand subscribers but will have sjme day—Mark that prediction. King Albert of Saxony has ap pointed Paul Wai lot, the builder of the new German Reichstag build ingatßirlin, to a professorship of architecture in the Dresden Ac ademy of Arts. He builded better than he knew. Senator Boyd has succed in getting his bill 11 r ugh the senate which provides that a jury shall be permitted to visit the scene of ®:h« crime for which the defendant is being tried whe n bslieved *o be proper. Bill Venable’s Insurance bill is the beak that will open the vitals of the Insurance trust, which un der vicious legislation has grown to be one the most grinding monopolies that ever flourished in Georgia. Bill Venable is a most passable bill. He has our majority. The Augusta Chronicle proposes to give Augusta an afternoon pa per; Why, we fail to see. The Au gusta Herald and the Augusta News are already giving Augusta a pair of as fine sheets as ever float ed in the afternoon breezes of a city twice the size of Augusta. Ex-Governor and Ex-United States Senator, Joseph E. Brown died in Atlanta last Friday. His life is a part of the history of this State for nearly half a centuary.* He was, prior to his death the great est living Georgian, and his mem ory will be honored by his State. Our space forbids a more extended notice of this great and good man’s life. Having done his life’s work well, he now rests in peace.—Cave Spring Herald. There is a strong sentiment among the people in favor of rigid economy in all public offices and in none is there more room than in the office of clerk of Roads and Revenue. $75 per month with office rent, fuel, lights and water free is too much for the amount of ser vice rendered the people. For proof a dozen good attorneys stands ready to take it at from SSO to S6O. The honorable Board of Roads and Revenue should make the reduction. Governor Atkinson’s appoint ment of Judge George Harris, shows that in her Governor, Geor gia has a statesman and not a political demagogue. Governor Atkinson recognized in the young attorney the self made man, and seeing his fine legal mind, notwith standing he knew that Judge Har ris had strongly opposed Mr. At kinson’s nomination, called him to the bench. Governor Atkinson, has done well and Judge Harris is going to do well too—Mark that prediction. A Terrible crime has just come tonight at Barngor, Mo., where a wife 15 years old has attempted to poison her 20-year-old husband and his parents so as to get their property. Fortunately, the attempt was notsucessful, though she tried it several timsi, making the family very sick. After the last attempt her busband taxed her with it and she broke down and confessed, she said that her mother told her to, and that as she loved her mother better than her husbadd she con sented. Her mother gave her a brown powder, which she waa to put in their food. The mother and daughter have been arrested and lodged in jail. HUMOROUS SlDfc OF THINGS.

My wife pin ned it there so as to remind me to hive my hair cut. —Yonkers S Ht“gman. The rssponso of a certain French man to a handsome woman who complained that she had found three gray hairs in her head was paradoxal but pretty.
