EDITORIAL NOTES.
The Washington Chronicle any*
that the Washington and Elberton
Railroad imirt l>e built. Thia
aoiind* like bnmncaa.
The officer* of the Inw have by
tome mean* heve been aronae<|
to look after gambler, in Ai<u la
and if justice la administered some
of the offenders will have to pay
heavy tine* or go to the chain
gang. We notice, too, among
other thing*, that the press of the
••Fountain City" have nt list con
cluded to apeak of the matter, af
ter long delay.
We understand that tbe ne
groes who were brought before
the Town Council of Hailein a
short while since, charged with
gambling, have all 1< ft the town.
Perhaps they thought it l>c»t to
gel out of the way, a* Superior
Court convenes üboiit two weeks
hence. If the Grand Jury will
look into the matter ami i»«nc
warrants against them, they will
steer clear of these parts for some
time to come.
The Augusta Chronicle is given
to putting things wisely, aa is
ahown by the following:
Every day or so we read sensi- ’
ble articles in the paper begging 1
women, for the sake of their
health of mind a.id hotly to wear
common sense shoes with flat
heels. Then we go upon the
street* mid see how nine women in
ten cramp their feet, defiant of
Mme or sensibility. If lovers had
to accept a woman’s foot instead
, of her hand, love might die at the
exhibit.
In Athens, notwithstanding
prohibition, whisky is not only
being sold, but actually distilled
wi li'ii tbe corporate limits. Sev- I
Wind stills of the crudest manufac-1
iture are operated lor private use.
'The old topers when they are un
able to get a drink any othei way,
go home and distill the ardent
from a little corn.—Washington
Chionicle.
The atxivo may be intended ns an j
argument against piohibition, but
somehow it doesn t shake our pro- |
hibition faith.
The Crawfordville Democrat
gives the following bit of history :
Old Taliaferro county can beat the
world on bits of history, and a
’({lance at some of the old records
in the court house last week shows
a wonderful justice court proceed
ing. In the year 1841,* there was
a justice court held in the GO Ist
Distiict, G. M., Judge P. Z.
Adniiis. presiding, in which there
were nine hundnsl eases made nut
by one party against another sin
gle partv. It is said that there
were thirteen thousand dollars in
VolveiV in these cases. This is a
most remarkable justice court and
we think it might well be said
that it <aps the stalo iu. such
courts. *
The Griffin News publishes an
interesting story of r.ii opossum
farm owned by a man in Spalding
county. He has about 500 o; os
sums on hand, and tuns deser'lwa
his farm:
In the hrst ] ’ace I fenced in
about 20 acre* ot woodland eon
taining n peislminon orchard and
running branch. ’This fence, as
you see, 1 bmlt >•(’claplmards four
and a half feet high, sufficiently
high to pi event the egress of
young opossums. Next, I caught
during the summer and fall of 18M
40 females and 10 males which 1
turned into this grove. But 1
should *nv that I first kept them
iu a pen near my dwelling about
•iX week*, feeding th<n> dally, l
and thus acct atomiug them to the
presence of man—io a word, tam
ing them. At the end ot six
weeks they were, in n measure, 1
tamed—ns much so a* hog* tuised
in the wood*.
The Philadelphia News in *
*|>eaking of public roads has this '
to say :
A shrewd and careful observer, !
Mr. Thomas Stevens, who bus justi
I completed a tour of the world on
a bicycle, is emphatic in his de
claration that the country roads of
the United States am the worst in ,
the worl I—worse than those of'
Turkey or Persia. It is a crying’
shame mid a commercial blunder I
I
to allow the roads of Penney Ivanin
to remain in the present rough, \
rugged mi<l unsatisfactory condi- i
■ lion in which they now are. Un- ;
del the present laws road-making
is a mere farce. A lew men meet!
and scratch the dead leaves and
diil from the roadside into the
center of the road, theme to be
blown and washed by the next
wind mid rain. Apart from this the
rudest tinkering at the road satis
fies the -upervisors."
Tbe above is n very fair picture |
of public roads generally and es- (
pecinlly in many sections of this j
, State. Nothing speaks better fr |
' a people than good public high- 1
way s and upon them any people I
may look with becoming pride.

IT (OILD BE IIIFFEREVT.
It now turns out that Jay Gould
mourns the fact, in the face of his
eollossal wealth, that he is not I
happy. We do not fora moment’
, doubt it, especially when it is re-
i
membered that his great wealth
has been amassed from the sweat
of poor paid labor. A tew thoii
saixl turned loose among those
who have been the channel through
which riches have flowed to him,
and then another share bcipinthed I
to charitable institutions would no
doubt to ease his feelings to some
extent, and nt the same time erect
to his memory an imperishable
monument. To die without do
ing either will be to depart unla
meuted and unsung, lie who dis
penses his wealth for the benefit
of suffering humanity, wreaths his
name in garlands of inextinguish
able fame.
