which much money is made.

A postmaster in Bradford eounly
undertook to manage things after
the fashion of the Mohammedans,
and he left the door of the postofiice
unlocked one night. A single trial
convinced him that the Mohammed¬

tian country. He locks his door now,
and has bought a new bulldog.—Phil

Defying Justice,
They tell a story in a Shasta
about a justice of the peace
fined a citizen §15 for some offense.
“I won’t pay it,” said the man. “Will
you pay ten?” demanded the justice.
“No.” “I>y God, then, gimme five.”
pleaded the justice, but the delin¬
quent swore he wouldn’t pay a cent,
and he didn’t, and that was the end
of it.—San Francisco Alta.

It pays.—An agent for parlor or¬
gans says it pays to give «n organ
outright to some one farmer in a
neighborhood where there arc no in
strumentR. As soon as it is known
that he has one every other fanner’s
wife exclaims, “Well, if that isn’t
cheek! If that family can buy an or¬
gan we shall certainly have one, and
we’ll get a better one than they did.”
From 15 to 20 sales are the result.—

Atlanta is to have a glass factory.
The factory will utilize a vast amount
ef material which is now valueless.
All broken bottles and glass will be
used in making new glass. The cap¬
ital of the company will be §50,000,
with the privilege of doubling. To
begin with, 100 men and boys will
be employed. It is expected that,
manufactured glass and the.
material, the yearly output will reach
from §150,000 to §200,000. The com¬
pany will begin manufacturing
on or before April 1 next.

The Convict System.
At tho last session of the Legisla¬
ture a committee was appointed to
investigate the convict lease system
of the State, and Mr. Schofield, of
Bibb, was made a member of that
committee. Mr. Schofield says the
committee will be ready for their
sitting in about three weeks, and
they have accumulated a pile of tes¬
timony, some of which will, no doubt
prove salty reading. They have all
the papers and date on hand, and,
Laving the power to summon wit¬
nesses, etc., the investigation will be
s thorough one.

William Burkett, who has been
for many years ferryman at the ITavv
kiusville road crossing at theOciuul
goe river, while in a tit of profanity,
on January 4th, said, “I hope that
God may paralyze me,” and was im¬
mediately paralyzed, his hands drop
ing to his side, his legs refusing to
move and his eyes rolling wildly
around. A number of men were mo¬
tionless with terror at tho evident
visitation of the hand of God. His
daughter, Miss Rlioda Burkett, saw
the plight in which her father was
brought home, fainted and died a
day or two later. Physicians can as¬
cribe no natural cause forhisafflc
tion, but admit that it is a visitation
of God.

WORK TO BE RESUMED.
preparing to start again on the
SAVANNAH AND DUBLIN ROAD,
Gen. G. W. Van FosSen General
Manager of the United States Rail¬
road Construction Company, arrived
in the city yesterday morning from
Philadelphia. During the day he had
a conference with Treasurer T. F.
Johnson, Col. J. M. Stubbs, Mr. D.
M. Hughes, Mr. John Powers and
others interested in the building of
the Savannah, Dublin and Western
Short Line railway. After the con¬
ference Gen. Van Fossen stated that
so far he now knows there are no
further obstacles in the way of the
construction of the road. He is here
to arrange a number of details be¬
fore work is started.
The company of which lie is gen¬
eral manager is heavily backed by
its own capital, and its most promi¬
nent members are large New York
contractors. One or two members of
the company are expected here in a
few days. The general manager could
not say how soon ho expects his com¬
pany to start work, but he remarked
that the first work will most likely
be in the neighborhood of Savannah.
It is understood that the terminal
site here is being negotiated for now.
The company is said to have two or
three offers.—Savannah News.

A Kenicnisconcc of Local interest.
John Temple Graves, in the Jack¬
sonville Herald, writes and eloquent
tribute 10 Henry W. Grady, whose
response to the toast of ‘‘The New
South,” at the Now England ban¬
quet in New York, has given nation¬
al breadth to a fame which has been
oo-extonsivo with the South. In tin
course of a running biographical
sketch, Mr. Graves says:
Grady’s life, until he landed in the
safe and prosperous harbor of the
Constitution building, has been
stormy and fitful. When scarcely
twenty ha seized upon the Rome
Daily Courier, and ran it for a few
months with great spirit and brillian
cy until he ran it aground upon the
shoal of debt, and left Rome for At¬
lanta. Here he fell in with Rob Als
ton and our own St. Clair Abrams,
of Tavares, and the trio started the
Atlanta Daily Herald, which, from
that day to this, has never had a su
porior, and hardly an equal, in Geor>
gia journalism, for brilliancy, sparkle
and enterprise.
The Herald was a marvel of pluck
and brightness. Like its great New
York namesake, it had a special en¬
gine to carry its huge bundle of pa
pers down the Georgia Railroad to
Augusta, and was away ahead the
present Constitution in everything
except money. As it was, its radiant
editorials and superb news service
told so powerfully upon the Georgia
people that the Constitution was
hard-pressed, and confesses now,
that if the Herald had nut failed one
week, the Constitution would hat e
gone under the next. Joe Grown was
thought to have upheld the Consti¬
tution.—Savannah Tunes.

Country Weeklies.
The Atlanta Constitution, has seen
fit to give its Country Cousins this
kind of a send off for 1887. The Con¬
stitution has generally been correct
in its opinions, and in the following
particular instance it is remarkably
so:
The weekly press of Georgia, af¬
ter having taken the holiday recess
to which tradition entitles it, is again
in the field ready to do its full duty
toward the people. No town is com¬
plete without a newspaper, and no
man with proper sense, with home
pride, will neglect to patronize an
institution which advertises his com¬
munity to the world. The country
press of Geoi gia has been indifferent¬
ly supported, and hence has not come
up to*the mark which a better sup¬
port would warrant. People who
complain that the local paper is not
good enough should first ascertain
whether their own names are on the
right side of the subscription book,
The editors are starting out on their
new year’s work full of energy and
hope, and if they fall by tho wayside
it will be becausa of unapprccia<
tive constituencies which have failed
in maintaining their own self-respect.

PRESS PARAGRAPHS.
Special to the Macon Telegraph t
Augusta, January 9th.—A most
sorrowful spectacle was witnessed
this afternoon by your correspond¬
ent. In a lew, dirty hoved in the
southern portion of the city, he, ac¬
companied by Coroner Piquet, found
an old negro man and woman and
f«,ur children. Tho man and wife
were sitting m tlio centra of the room
hugging close to each other to keep
warm, there not being a spark of fire
or any wood in the house. On an old
mattress lying near was the body of
a child, who had just died from ex¬
posure to cold. On another, covered
by a tattered blanket, were three
others, shivering with cold seiiously
ill. All were entirely hopeless, and
seemed to be awaiting death to re¬
lieve their sufferings. They had had
nothing to eat since yesterday, and
were almost starving.
A doctor was called in, who pre¬
scribed for the sick children, and
wood and food were given them. The
dead child was taken out and buried.
This is the saddest case that has
ever been brought to the knowledge
of the officials, and if it had been re¬
ported before the family would have
been provided for and the suffering
prevented.
