Lively New spaper Items.
Some have supposed peculiar friends ideas of a news¬
paper as to what
kind of items a paper really requires.
Not long since a gentleman came into
the Galveston News sanctum and
said: “Look here! You miss a heap
of live items. Fin on the streets all
day; I’ll come up every once in a
while and post you.”
“All right, fetch on your items,
but remember, we wants news.”
Next day he caiue up, beaming all
over. “I’ve got a live item for you.
You know that infernal bow-legged
gorilla of a brother-in-law of mine,
who was in business here with me?”
“J believe I remember such a per¬
son.” said the editor, wearily,
“Well, I’ve just got news from
Nebraska, where he is living, that he
is going to run for the Legislature.
Now, just give him a blast, Lift
him out of his hoots. Don’t spare
him on my account.”
Next day became up again. “My
little item was crowded out. I
brought hands in you item some about news,” his and he
an eat as fol¬
lows:
“A Remarkable Animal.—The
guished family eat fellow of our worthy and Smith, distin
townsman

sin gularlv-marked the first time this kittens. This is
not unheard of
went has taken place. We
stand Mr. .Smith is being favorably
spoken of as a candidate for Ordina¬
ry.”
The editor groans in his spirit as
he lights a cigar with the effort. It
is not long before he hears that
Smith is going around saying that
he has made the paper what it is, but
it is not independent enough for a
place like Galveston.
Many readers will say this sketch
is overdrawn, but thousands of edi¬
tors all over the country will lift up
their right hands to testify that they
are personally acquainted with the
guilty party.

Georgia’s Prosper!ty,
In the midst, of the confusion
which the disunited democrats in the
great empire state of the sunny south
are creating, it is consoling to re¬
flect that, apart from the dishearten¬
ing conditions which have made a
campaign of slander possible in our
polities, the Georgia material and substantial
interests of were nevermore
promising. The time has gone by
when the progress and prosperity of
the state could he .reasonably com¬
pared with those of other southern
states. In her agricultural and edu¬
cational progress, Georgia lias left
them all far behind. Her present
condition and prospects, indeed, will
compare favorably with those of any
state in the union. There is scarcely
an interest in the state that has not
fully recovered What from the effects of
the war. tremendous energy
lias been necessary to overcome the
natural obstacles that was placed in
the way of our people, and those ar¬
tificial ones, the result of desperately
hostile legilation, can only he known
to those who have been engaged in
the struggle; hut happily, these
obstacles have been overcome. At

and the wheels of industry move
ceaselessly iu quarters where the pop¬
ulation has scarcely become fami¬
liar with the noise. The whole
state is active and progressive, and
it is impossible to conceive of a con¬
tingency likely to mar the prospect.
Mount!fill crops smile in (lie fields
of the farmers, and the seasons seem
to set the seal of abundance upon
everything (hat grows. In every
business there are signs of renewed
activity. Manufactories of various
kinds arc established or seeking es¬
tablishment. There is not to-day a
cotton factory within the length ami

There is still much to do, hut it

a state whose resources are as vast
as those of Georgia requires time a*
well as energy. At present, com¬
paratively speaking, the prosperity
of Georgia, both agricultural and
commercial, is equal to that, of any
state in the union. What it will he
