EDITORIAL NOTES.
Spalding county now boasts a
calamus farm.
A strike among the hod carriers
of Chicago has been ordered.
The Weekly Press Association
meets in Milledgeville to-day.
Distinct shocks of earthquake
were felt on Saturday and Sunday
mornings last.
Almost every issue of our daily
exchanges bring the news of some
mmder. Surely we live in a
bloodthirsty age.
Judge Samuel Hall, one of
Georgia’s able jurists, is no more.
He died at Mt. Airy, his summer
home on Saturday last.
There should be a general clean
ing up of the streets of Harlem
and the sanitary condition of the
place well guarded.
Why should the fanners buy
hay next spring when such an
abundant supply is now on hand
and only needs to be gathered ?
- - - ■ . .f
Some uro entertaining the idea
of a return of the severe shakes
felt a year ago to-morrow. There
is no use crossing the bridge, until
you get to it.
The account of the boiling well
given in our last issue has creat
ed considerable interest by those
desiring to investigate, and still
the well boils.
Evening News: The largest
comet that has appeared tor many
years is now visible in the north
ern sky. With an ordinary glass
it can be distinguished.
The blood curdling account of
the riot at Decatur on Saturday
last, to lie found in this issue, is
liable to be repeated at any time
so long as whisky and negroes are
allowed to mingle together.
Rev. Joseph Parker, ol Eng
land, arrived in New York on
Sunday. Ho comes to the late
Henry Ward Beecher’s church on
a trial trip, and it is possible may
become pastor of the famous Ply
mouth church.
Our readers will please bear
with us in regard to the small
amount of matter of local interest
in this issue, as we are arranging
to make improvements for the fu
ture whereby we can give them a
better paper.
We have no desire to see con
victs treated in royal style, but
humanity, it nothing else, de
mands that some remedy should be
provided against treating them in
so brutal a manner as they are re
ported to be in some sections.
According to the Hartwell Sun
Hart county must be feasting on
'possums. Here is the report of
a recent bunt: “D. W. Johnson
and Leek Eberhart caught four
teen 'possums Tuesday night.
'Possums, like oysters, are only
good to eat during the R months.”
A man under the influence of
uhiskv took a seat on the end of a
cross tie ou the A., (i. and S.
Railload, near Augusta a few days
ago and was thrown by the pilot
of an engine into a ditch, bruising
him up considerably.
Parents and guardians should
bear in mind that the school facili
ties ot Harlem are now second to
none in the State. The fall ses
sion ot the Institute opens on next
Monday, and we hope to see the
number entered largely in excess
of la-t term.
In an able editorial upon the
convict question, among other
things, the Constitution says :
“We take with several grains of
salt all that is said nlioiit sympathy
with the convicts. A man who
commits a crime ought to be pun
ished, and if his sentence is hard
labof he ought to be kept at work
during his term. He should have
no more sympathy from the pub
lic than will secure him humane
treatment proper food and clothes,
healthy locality, and will prevent
his monopolized public pity and
sympathy. Penal laws are made
to protect society, and the public
needs all the spare sympathy
when its laws are violated. Laws
to be efficient must be inflexible,
and their execution certain.”

To Our Patrons and Friends :
It is with profoundest regret that we announce the death of our
Senior, Hon. GEORGE 11. SIBLEY’, which occurred on Friday
evening, the 15th instant.
We are glad to say however, that, with the same ample means an
facilities, and many years of experience as his associates, the sun
partners, who have had the actual management of its affairs tor the
past eighteen months, will conduct the business as heretofore.
We solicit a continuance of the business of our friends and custom
ers. Yours, very truly,
Geo. R. Sibley & Co..
