NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS. Subscribers to The Times wilt confera favor upon the management by promptly notifying the business ollico whenever they fail to receive their pupers promptly. The suliscription list has grown so rapidly that some confusion lias necessarily resulted; but tin- management desires to deliver the paper promptly. Subscribers w ill aid in this if they will report every failure upon the part of tlte carriers. Thai old chestnut; “Is the man married to the woman or tin 1 woman f the man ?'’ lias been revived. In Chica go it is neither. Tilt: king' of Spain is reported as dy ing. A shortage in the supply of Mrs. W inslow’s soothing syrup lias brought about this threatened ins- to Europe's corps of mouarehs. There wasn’t but one man yesterday in lit'unswii'k who didn’t burst out into merry caehinuatious on account of the weather. He was the oldest inhabitant. To save his half dozen gray hairs he couldn’t recall a day of same date like unto it. Floyd county boasts of having green strawberries. I'nipli! Ulynn county is growing its second crop of this lus cious fruit, ami hereby extends to its Fiovd neighbors an invitation to come down and have a feast. Hut bring' along a few gallons of “Dink” Ross' Jersey cream ! Tnt: Times this morning publishes u talk with Chief Merrilield, of the tire deptii tineiit. To the city council this talk is respectfully and earnestly com mended as contain mg much that is food for thought and incentive to prompt action in putting the lire department in a more eflieicn t. condition. There is a large sized nut for the theologian to crack in the blowing down of that, church steeple in Brooklyn the other night, whereby several women and children were killed. The Times merely calls the attention of the breth ren wpo know all about the operations of Providence to this ghastly and horri ble incident. It is not :i good sign of tlie times that every young man, able of body and good of morals, advertising iu the papers of tlie South for a place, wants to get be hind a counter or in an otliee. Mot one is hunting work at the roar end of a plow or in shop, factory or mine. Soft snaps arc in great demand by these young fel lows with “A No. 1 references and steady habits.” The engagement of Mr. George Van derbilt, scion of the rich Now York fam ily of that name, and Miss Mary John stone, a beautiful South Carolina young lady, i- announced. There may be a bit of i oinance connected with this affair wh<“n it is further announced that the collide lirst met on Reuucateber moun tain, in North Carolina. The name of the mountain is significant, at least. The lovers of high art iu Brunswick are numerous. Iu proof of this, witness the throngs which stand entranced be fore the canvas stretched along Monk -treet, on which are painted the big bat, the ferocious snake, lovingly entwining the thirty haired female from a Turkish harem, and the airy, fairy nymph poised in graceful attitude on top of ono of Oscar Wilde’s flower deities. Oh, yes; art, high art, some ten feet high, lia many ardent votaries iu Brunswick ! The Times urges the mayor and coun cil to appoint a committee to visit l.ieut. Carter with a view to getting a -pedal recommendation of a sufficient appropriation to finish the government improvement at Brandy Point and also an appropriation sufficient to dredge out the new channel which is forming over the outer liar. It is confidently believed that a comparatively small appropria tion will give a depth at ordinary high tide of twenty-live feet, which would bo of incalculable advantage to this port. The grandest monument to Henry • .rally will be that hospital which the council and citizens of Atlanta have determined to build and dedicate to his name and in memory of his own noble deeds of charity. The women of Bruns wick are striving to complete the hospital whose unfinished walls make mute, but eloquent, appeal to the generous and charitable of the city, as well as the stranger within its gates, for quick response iu substantial form, to the appeal of these unselfish and devoted ministrants in suffering humanity's be half. Will you not make answer to this “A LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM." The saddest sight seen in Brunswick in many a day was that witnessed one day last week, of a little girl leading tier reeling father along the streets towards the homo where the wife and mother awaited their coming with an aching heart and a face on which years of trouble bail written its ugly story. It was a sigh, to make the angels weep and even careless men utter words of pity and condemnation. Into Hie saloon this little child went, trembling of step and with fright in every move. Her papa was in the crowd of drunken men —brutes, rather, and mamma had sent her for him. Bo with brave heart, plucking up courage n she saw the form aud heard the voice of papa, this sweet angel cf salvation gently took his trembling hand in hers, and with a “Come, papa, let’s go home,” she led the besotted father out of the place and buck to her who still loved him. How true it is time a little child shall j lead them, these fathers who have fallen down tlte steeps, whose fair promises have been broken, whose former life is but as a dream and whose love of wife and wee ones as they came, has been •snatched away by the accursed hand of a demon driven out of hell! Yes, many a child leads out of sin and slmme and degradation,, as did this om her papa. Leads him back to sobriety, to manhood, to wife, to home, to God ! That is one side ot the picture. The other? Ah, well, swiftly sweep tlte brush across it aud let naught remain to tell of its hideousness, its pathos aud its ruin. But there are other fathers, and moth- j ers, too, to be led by these weak, yet | strong, little bauds. Led back to the 1 old love, back into the sunshine of that affection which once flooded their hearts and gave to their lives the halo of beauty ! and fell along tlte outst retching pathway with a light fresh from heaven. Back to the days when there were sweet peace i and sweeter communion of souls. Back i to the days when the fragrance of the I bridal wreath perfumed the new home, i and the echo of the wedding bells! sounded through all tlte da}sand nights. 1 Hack to the darkened room, where i hushed voioes gave welcome to the first I dodge of love aud the wife felt for the i first time the strange ecstasy of mother love ! “A little child shall lead them !” Strange power, mysterious strength, divine ministration! Bweet innocence walking where strong men fall, aud ye 1 stumbling not. Blessed, safe, kept as by the all-Father, is he whose hand clasps and is clasped by that of one of these little ones ! GEORGIA'S GREATEST LUMINARY. For that learned, dignified* and honor able body, the Supreme Court of the State of Georgia, The Times, the com mon people, and even a few lawyers, have the profoundost respect and most courteous deference. It is even con ceded that, as a body, the justices of the peace give unquestioned oflicial acquies cence to the opinions of the common wealth’s court of last resort. But not every one of these justices has that regard for the Supremo Court his brother dignitaries so generously con cede, At least there is one in LaGrc.nge who does not, uor is he the least backward about coming forward in giving expres sion to his feeling of disregard, not to say contempt, of the interpretation of tlte law which has from time to time been handed down by such tyros as Chief Justices Lumpkin, Warner, Jack son anil Bleckley, aided by their coadju tors on the bench. The other day this eminent Troup county combination of Blackstone, Coke and John Marshall, in charging a jury in a case wherein grave issues were involved, the same being the worth of a shoat with a tail longer than its body, gravely said ; ‘‘l congratulate myself, geutlemen, upon the tact that I am not. required to tell you what the law of tiis case is. Ordinarily the court has seme opinion as to what the law is of cases tried be fore it, aud in regal'd to the statute in volved in this case I, or any sensible man, might have known what it meant fit had not been tinkered with by the Supreme Court to the extent of putting its true meaning beyond tlte comprehen sion of any man of ordinary intelli gence.” The Times regrets that it cannot give the name of this lucid expounder of the law and master of bold sarcasm. But t hat he is known at least five miles from home The Times does not doubt. He should come forth into the greater light or he may soon be discussing the weigh tier matters of the law with Mr. Me < <iuty. jTHE HOSPITAL. It should be completed at once, furnished and tun ed over to tlie city The rapid growth of Brunswick de mands it. There are sick people here who can uoi be properly cared for at their homes strangers are taken sick at the hotels and elsewhere here, in crowded boarding houses, where they cannot receive the care or have the quietness necessary to tlie sick. There should be a pay depart ment, and all who are able to pay should lie required to do so, as a means of creat ing a fund to assist in properly support ing the establishment. Tlie suggestion is made that Hie ladies, who have so long struggled with I this enterprise, agree to turn it over to j the pi", upon ion! ton that a fund' THK DAILY TIMES; SUNDAY, JAN LAKY 12. IHStO. is raised within sixty days to complete aud furnish it, and that upon comple tion it be turned over to the mayor and council as its trustees, upon the con dition solely that a specific sum he set apart for its support. Who will upon this basis start the ball rolling? Brunswick cannot afford to let this work lag. by way or Jacksonville. Here it is, by way of a special from Atlanta to the Jacksonville Tirnes- Union: The resignation of Capt. Felix Corptit as president of the Alliance Ex change was brought about by Col. Liv ingston, president of the State Alliance. ( apt. Corput opposed Livingston in the latter’s gubernatorial aspirations, favor ing Hon. W. J. Northern, another. Al liance light. The president of the State Alliance went quietly to work to have Corput’s salary reduced from $3,000 to tJuJICO. and succeeded. Ho knew the head of the Alliance Exchange wouldn’t stand the cut, aud so he got him reduced to ranks. This was a sharp move on the part of Col. Livingston, if tlte story is true, aud shows that the colonel is no slouch when moving on his political enemies. Tho fight within the ranks of the Al liance for the governorship may y<r? be a bitter one, lur both Livingston and Northern are avowed candidates and neither has any love for the other, la I act, they have already crossed swords, aud have been snarling at one another over this particular bone. ODDS AND ENDS. Facts and Fancies Gathered in Moments of Leisure. * * * I had a letter yesterday from a widely known citizen of Atlanta which contained some information I have con cluded to make public. “You will find. ” the letter says, “that at the right time F. G. duliignon will be brought back into public life. I have recently talked with prominent young Democrats in half a dozen cities of the State, aud it is their opinion, almost without exception, that dtißignou must be compelled to make the race for Governor. My in formation leads me to believe that du- Biguon will not be able to resist the pressure that will be brought to bear upon him. lam satisfied that no other man is more likely to be tho next Gov ernor.’’ * * * I have recently been t~ld that Governor Gordon favors dußigiion as his successor. 1 don’t suppose that Governor Gordon will make a public declaration to this eft’et, but bis in fluence privately exerted would be powerful. ** * A citizen of Brunsw elf \ >o " -v was in Savannah a few days ago, says that he was told while there that Senator Joseph E. Brown had expressed a desire to have a Savannah man elected Gover nor. I believe the Senator would sup port dußiguon. * * * Commissioner of Agriculture Henderson is the only State House of ficer who will have opposition at the next election. I don’t think he has the strength in South Georgia he deserves, but the indications point to his election, nevertheless. * * * Before the spring time comes Brunswick society people will witness a wedding which will be a surprise. * ** Unless you know what it means, don’t put on his hat. The lines which follow may suggest the reason why : She put on my hat; I)ld she know what it meant ? On the sofa we sat As she put on my hat (It was long ere I went); Yes, she knew what it meant. ' • * The most notable change in Brunswick during the last few years has been caused by the substitution of brick for wood as building material for struct ures on the business streets. When 1 first visited Brunswick there was but one brick building in the city; now there are scores, * * * The editorial page of the At lanta Constitution continues to grow in strength. * * * One of the brightest and best newspapers I read is the Jacksonville Times-Union. It would grace a eitv ten times larger than Jacksonville, * * * A fortune awaits the man who will build a first-class opera house in this city. K.C. I. MEN AND WOMEN.

In joy or in sorrow, Tile bravest is never quite sure ot tlte morrow. We are each, tor some purpose, allowed om life’s day; We complete our light duty and hasten away; Our going gives place to some struggling brother. The falling of one means the rise of another. WELCOME AND GOODBY. A welcome to you, winter girl, Tile queen of fashion’s giddy whirl! A welcome to your sparkling eyes That Cupid’s shaft can ne’er surprise. Your beauty’s like u noontide sun ; We almost wish that, day were done, Yet stand and gaze with misty sight, Held spellbound by the dazzling light.

Those hits of sky fresh dipped in dew; Thy many graces, who cun tell? Goodby, hut happily not farewell. STATE PRESS. Governor Hill is Right. . From the Augusta Chronicle. Gov. Hill believes that the foreign 1 system is cumbrous; that it is expensive; j that it eutails largo expense upon tlte i State in requiring it to print tickets for I camliilntes, and that the design is to j inive the State do for the citizen what j tile citizen should do for himself. He j believes that a man should be allowed i to present his own ticket at the polls j anil that the managers should accept it, rattier titan that he should be required to ; make his murk upon tlte oflicial sheet furnished him by the managers. Gov . Hill speaks in the interest of the largest i liberty and the greatest personal privi- i leges consistent with the public welfare. Tlte conditions of foreign colonies aud j monarchies are uot the conditions of the American Republic. Gov. Hill recommends the passage of a law which will provide for secret compartments for the voters, and claims that this i would do tn licit to prevent corruption aud would secure the chief benefits of true electoral reform. In his opinion tlte general registration of the electors throughout the whole State should be a part of the system. He Is Against It. From the Augusta Evening News. Ex Governor Bullock of Georgia takes strong ground against unnecessary inter ference by the general government with the internal affairs of States, and warm ly urges that prompt measures be adopt ed throughout the South for the enforce ment of law and the preservation of order and good relations between the races, to the end that there may he no ex cuse for Federal intervention. The pro gramme of centralized rule lias few friends among Southerners, even those of Republican antecedents. Senator Edmunds, Attorney. From the Macon Telegraph. Senator Edmunds, the alleged politi cal purist, standing up before the people of tlte United States as the apologist of Dudley anil his ue'arious schemes, pre sents a striking picture. Roscoe Conk liug used to call Edmunds the attorney of the Republican party. The term fits. He seems to consider himself retained for the defense of tlte chief of sinners so long as he wears tlte party badge. What is Wanted. From tlie Atlanta Constitution. What is wanted is not so much outside law, but more law anti order in the fam ily. Men are made or married at the fireside. No artificial daddy with a par cel of statutes, formal fiubdub and text books can lake the place of the natural daddy with his love and common sense, and big hickory. When a man makes the right kind of laws for his own family and executes them, lie need not bother himself about State laws and courts, ilis boys will uever need the Legislature, a bench of judges, and a sheriff’s posse to keep them straight.
