It is a remarkable fact that nearly
all the newspapers in Georgia are
owned and edited by young men.
The average age of the Georgia edit¬
or is not thirty years. Why this is
true we are at a loss to know. The
older men may not have the energy
that is required to run a good news¬
paper, or else they have too much
sense to embark upon such a treach¬

WOMAN’S WHIMS

The Republican's Decatur, Ill.,
special says: Yesterday afternoon a
newly married couple registered at
the St. Nicholas hotel as I)r. C. J.
Lockhart and wife, of Owensboro,
Ky., and were assigned a room in the
third story. About 12 o'clock last
night, a cry of “Kill me, kill me,”
was heard issuing from the hotel,
which attracted a crowd on the
street, when a woman in liar night
elothes was observed hanging from
the balcony over the second story
windows of the house. A moment
later she dropped into the arms of a
gentleman standing on the sidewalk
below, and was taken into the hotel
parlor where she was recognized as
the wife of Dr. Lockhart. A physi¬
cian was called to whom she said
she had crept, quietly from her bed,
leaving her husband asleep, and
threw herself from the window with
the intention of killing herself. The
reason she gave for the act was aver
sion to married life, of which she
had only two days experience.
says her husband was every way re¬
spectable, but she was
not to live with him. Her
conduct is attributed to insanity by
l>r. Chenowith, who examined her.

[GEORGIA PEACHES IN NEW
YORK.
j How the Early Fruit Catches
I More, Cash Than Worms—Some¬
th in g Better Than Cotton.
'1 ’lie first Georgia peaches shipped
to New York this year, as already
stated by the Evening News at the
time, were sent by our esteemed
county man and prominent fruit
grower, Mr. P. J. Berckinans on the
•’’Otli of May. Three crates of the
Alexander variety were shipped,
one-third of a bushel to a crate, or
say about 200 peaches in all, and
they were sold in New York for
$32.
This is the most extraordinary
price ever received for Southern
peaches and indicates that the quali¬
ty was unusually line for the first
shipment. Mr. Berckman’s forward¬
ed another lot of fine early peaches
to New York to-day.
Fruit cultivation at these prices
pays a little better than cotton, as
about 200 early peaches cleats a.
much as an acre of land planted in
cotton. Of course these are figures
for very early fruit, but it must be
recollected that the early gathering
does not exhaust the cr**p, but that
additional receipts are realized, while
an acre of land planted in cotton is
worked all the year and anew eael
season, produces so much, nnd is
lone. Not nearly so much labor i
required in fruit culture, and the re¬
turns from the same ground in trees
would largely discount the same arcs
planted in the fibrous material.
It is a great pity that more gener¬
al attention is not paid to tlte car
and cultivation of the kindly fruit
of the earth, which, in season, bring
rich profits by sale, and with then
:he seasonable comfort ami !uxur\
if home enjoyment. There is some
thing refining in the growth of th
liner species of the vegetable eren
tion—an understanding, as it were
f Nature and the demands of civ.
i/.ed growth, and that, ind; pend' n.-t
vltich always comes of home protliw -
ion and makes the wise tillers of I ii
oil the real noblemen of earth.

•very fanner in the South gives a
much attention to his fruits and
ionic products as to his cotton fields

urn will have arrived .—Aujasta
News.
Before Marriage and After.
Before marriage the young girl
will generally know, or have soiru
doa when the young gentlemen will
•ome to see her; she takes great care
to look neat and pleasing, waiting
to recc’ve him in a tastefully arrang¬
ed room. And what of the youth 't
No matter how much “out of sorts’’
(as he is apt to term it) he may feel,
he will dress in liis best and start for
the home of his love. They meet
with a clasp of hands and a ploasaiv
smile, have an agreeable evening’s
visit, then part with a kind good¬
night. I do not say this is wrong if
there is true love in it; but how dif¬
ferent it is from the home in after
years. We too often miss the sweet
face and pleasing appearance of the
young girl in the wife. And the
youth whose only aim was to please
his lady love, now seems to have for¬
gotten all the little courtesies and
gentle attentions that are needed
just as much in the husband as in
the lover, to make home happy. He
finds many other things to look af¬
ter, and utters harsh and thoughtless
words. You may see the wife of on¬
ly a few months, in a solvenly dress,
hair uncombed, the ho ’ disorder,
and nearly time for her husband to
come home. It is no wonder that
he is unhappy and may try to give a
little advice sometimes. I make no
excuse for her. She may havepkn
ty to do, and more than she can ac¬
complish; still she can, if she will,
always look neat, aud meet her hus¬
band with a smile.
Then, on the other hand, the wife
may try hard to keep the sweet,
girlish ways of other days about her,
^ R ‘ hhsliand will think to him¬
self: “Now we are married, and
^ ar v ,nU8t not ex P tH}t mo t0 l* c
.
same as before. I have no time for
loving ways, now there is so much
resting upon me, as the head of the
house.” lie takes no notice of the
neatly.-kept rooms, and the nice
dinner just to his taste, and the lov¬
ing wife who always meets him at
the door with a smile pf welcome
i home,
Tlie Good (?) Old Times.
It sounds very poetical to say”the
good old limes,” but if we should be
strictly truthful, having an eye upon
the actual rather than upon the senti¬
mental, we should be more inclined
to designate them as the “mean old
times,” especially if, by some power¬
ful freak ol nature, we should be
taken up and set back among the
days that fell to t he lot of those who
were men and women when our
grandparents were little children. It
is no wonder that Benjamin Frank¬
lin, with his prophetic vision, wished
it had been his destiny to be born two
or three centuries later. Think of
the journeys then requiring days,
that may now he accomplished in as
many hours, and with far more com¬
fort. Think of sitting in church
winter after winter without the
cheerful light of a tire, save that
which was kindled in the imagina¬
tion by the glowing imagination of
the preacher, as he described the
torments of the “damned.” Think
>f paying forty or fifty dollars a year
for a newspaper, and think, also, of
the beggarly little sheet and all its
meagre qualities! Think of living
without a friction match ia the
house, or a tooth brush, or a carpet,
or gaslight, or furnaces, or a sewing
machine, or doing without over¬
shoes and umbrellas, and a thousand
other things that we call necessities.
It is startling to consider the multi¬
tude of things, small and great, that
wc possess, which contribute to our
•ornl’ort, our welfare, our ease, our
mjovnient, that were utterly un¬
known to our innocent grandfathers,
md never could have entered their
1 reams. The spirit of progress con¬
sults our convenience and multiplies
id van luges in every direction, en
lancing the charms of life, dinun
slihtg its pains, and inviting us to
•ome, welcome and enjoy its innu
■ n .raid.' gifts.
