The fiftieth district of Emanuel
county is troubled with a band of
very bold thieves and burglars. Du¬
ring last week, five or six honses were
robbed. In one instance they enter¬
ed the house of a widow, got posses¬
sion of her keys, stole what they
wanted, cooked and ate supper in her
kitchen, and went away witli their
plunder. None of them have been
caught.

Augusta, (*a., Jan. 1.—A squad
of six convicts working ou the Au¬
gusta and Chattanooga railroad ov¬
erpowered and disarmed their guard
to-day, imprisoned two trust,ys in a
hole just dug, and with picks and
shovels triumphantly marched into
the adjoining woods and escaped.

Right Thousand Dollars in her
Apron.
Bay Heap, N. J., Dec. 28. —Chris¬
tina Osborn, aged 86, of West Point
Pleasant, died about a month ago.
Just before she died she told her
four children that she had enough
money to bury her, but neglected to
say where it was secreted. As she
was old and childish, nothing was
thought of it. Last week, while the
executors were taking an inventory
of the old lady’s effects they found
an old apron hidden away in adrawer
in which was wrapped $8,000 in gold
and silver. Most of the money was
in small change. The woman was
supposed to have died penniless.
-------
A gentleman who arrived in Am
gusta Sunday said that he saw in
Ooclieo swamp, where the five es¬
caped convicts are supposed to be
lurking, a gang of several men, ap¬
parently cooking a meal, who endeav¬
ored to conceal themselves on liis ap¬
proach. His conclusion was that the
men were the escaped convicts and
that they were still banded together,
and the impression is conveyed that
they will stick together in their flight
at least for the present. Nothing au¬
thentic could he learned of the pris¬
oners at large np to midnight, though
it is known that efforts were immed
ately taken after the escape to ar¬
rest them.

Sho Touched for Her Own Goods.
An ola negro woman came in from
tho country a day or two since and
offered for sale a pound or two of
sweetgum which she had gathered in
the woods near her horrto. It was
nicely put up in round balls about
the sizo of a “quid,” and looked very
tempting indeed to those who liked
it. A lady had just closed a bargain
with the old negress for a lot of the
stuff, when, by some chance, she ask.
ed her how she had rolled the balls
so nioely, and was horrified when the
gum vendor, with a proud air, repli¬
ed: “Why, missus, I chawed'em dat
way.” It is needless to add that tho
trade was instantly declared “off,”
and the old woman, with a surprised
and injured air, moved on. The
abovo will be comforting to those
and who for bought the old woman’s give gum,
that reason we it here,

Tho Way to “Live It Down ”
I have heard women bemoaning
that they could not come in any way
before the public because of some
thing long past affecting their
taliens. Berore what public?
the world’s public changes every
years. If you can do anything
or pleasing to the world it will
very glad to receive you. If
want real friends, and have the
acity to make them and keep
after they are made, you will
find them. If you ,want to tack
to that kind of society where
tion is in part measured by
weight of money bags and in part
wbat “they say,” when no oue
exactly who says it—why, even
is accessible if you’ll march up to
wbat you now really are, and
keep yourself before it in
what you were years

The enthusiastic reception tender¬
ed Mr. Grady upon his return to At¬
lanta was something more than a
tribute to the eloquence and genius
of the foremost editor in the South.
It .was also a spontaneous and hearty
indorsement by southern people of
the patriotic and inspiring sentiments
of his speech before the New Eng¬
land Society.
The occasion was one which the
South is ever eager to accept for the
exhibition of a thorough and fully
restored spirit of loyalty to the Un¬
ion, and the assurance of an entire
obliteration of all traces of section¬
alism and hate. The utterances of
Mr. Grady were, if possible, more
heartily applauded in Atlanta than
in New York though they were in¬
stinct with a spirit of the broadest
patriotism and most devoted loyalty.
But their appreciative reception
throughout the country is of the
significance. It indicates
more plainly than any labored argu¬
ment could possibly do that old sec¬
tional controversies are dead; that
the ashes left by them are cold and
can never be reanimated by the fer¬
ocious zeal even of such partisans as
Blaine or Logan; and it assures the
country with a voice of authority
which the Maine statesman might
well heed that lie who would rise to
eminence in the restored republic can
never do so by drowning the music
of peaco and good will with the
clash of arms and the harrowing cho¬
rus of groans.
For the first time within more
than a quarter of a century South
Carolina and Massachusetts not only
feel one way, but will vote one way;
and, next to the beneficent influence
of a broad-principled and enlighten¬
ed Democratic administration, this
result is chiefly due to the courage
and liberalism of the Gradys of the
North as well as of the South.
A Matter for Congratulation.
I'Vom the Savannah New.
The holidays are pretty nearly ov¬
and the people of Georgia can
themselves that the hoi
season has been almost wholly
free from tho crimes ®f violence
whi ^Iy n %>ymqr yo:>rs brought ^a«lt
ness to so many hearts and trouble
into so many tomes. While the jug
has been very active and the
Jamaica “ginger” and “bitters” bus
iness lucrative, the growing temper¬
ance sentiment throughout the State
doubtless has had much to do with
the absense of reports of quarrels,
felonious assaults and murders, which
generally are ’so numerous between
Christmas and New Year’s. That the
traffic in liquor cannot bo entirely
stopped in tho prohibition counties
is to be deplored, but it is gratifying
that the reform in the use of whisky
in many parts of the State is as it is,
ItfAVOiild not be reasonable, however
kp expect every tippler and toper to
give up his hitters because lie lives
in a prohibition county. The drink¬
ing habit with many is so strong that
they will give it up only when they
cease to breathe.
The youths of the present time,
however, arc having thc«vils of m
temperance set before them in a very
strong light, and are also to u great¬
er extent than ever before shielded
from the temptation of tho wine cup.
While prohibition may not always
prohibit it is cpucating the young
men to an appreciation of the bene¬
fits of temperance. In Georgia, there¬
fore, and other Stages where the proi
hibition sentiment is strong and grow
ing, it may reasonably be expected
that each succeeding holiday season
will be less and less marked by the
crimes which whisky leads men to
commit.
The jug business is pointed to as
an evidence that prohibition does
not prohibit, but the fact that jugs
have to be resorted to, to secure li¬
quor in the prohibition
shows that prohibition is
effective than its enemies are
to admit. The timo is not far
tant when evon this jug business will
almost, if not wholly, cease. Even
the illegitimate business in vile con¬
nections intended to take the place
of whisky, which flourishes in some
of the prohibition counties, is find¬
ing a relentless enemy in the Feder¬
al courts. The principals in this bus¬
iness will soon find it too risky to be
profitable.

Au Era of Prosperity Ahead.
Samuel Benner, an Ohio farmer,
published a book on prices, in 1875,
in which he predicted the principal
financial occurrences for a number
of years ahead, lie said the lowest
point of depression would be iu 1877
and chat the turn of the lido would
begin with the higher price of iron
in 1878; but that the advance in
market quotations would culminate
in 1881. Mr. Benner claimed to have
discovered a law of periodicity. For
a certain number of years prices
went up, and times were good; then
began a decline in prices, in which
the industries of the world were de¬
pressed. The price of iron was, ac¬
cording to this authority, the key
note of the situation. When a dei
mand for that useful metal showed
itself, it was clearly due to a revival
of industry. Tools wero being need¬
ed. Then when the demand fell off,
or the markets were glutted, the iron
industry was the first to show signs
of depression. Mr. Benner went on
to affirm that the great panics occur¬
red in this country in periods vary¬
ing from eighteen to twenty years.
Thus wo had one in 1837, again in
’57 while the last commenced in ’73
and culminated in ’77. According to
Mr. Benner, another financial cricis
is due in 1891, but it was to be pre¬
ceded by a couple of years of extrav¬
agant speculation and great appar¬
ent prosperity. But it would seem
as if the good times anticipated tins
forecast, for the news from all parts
of the world is, that things arc get¬
ting better, and that the immediate
future is full of hope for all indus¬
tries here and abroad. The Ohio pro¬
phet thought that 1880 but as well looks as
1887 would be dull yeas; it
