CITY OFFICIAL ORGAN.
The following resolution was passed
unanimously at last night’s meeting
of council:
“Be it, and it is hereby
resolved, by the mayor
and aldermen of the City of
Brunswick, in council as
sembled, that, from on and
after the first Wednesday
in April, 1897, The Bruns
wick Times, a newspaper
having a general circula
tion in said city, be and the
same is hereby declared
and made, until further ac
tion t,o the contrary, the of
ficial organ of the city of
Brunswick.”

According to the Advertiser, Senor
de Lome, the Spanish minister to this
country, has contracted the habit of
perusing that sprightly publication.
De Lome’s poor opinion of American
journalism is no longer a secret.
The New York Legislature has de
feated a bill requiring railroads to
give members, state officials, etc., free
transportation. The bill was prob
ably defeated as being in the nature of
a superfluity. They get there any
how.
The Jacksonville Citizen declares
that the government should encourage
neither the farmer nor anybody else,
llow about the majority who voted the
government into power? What is the
use of the majority ruling if no ad
vantage is to be derived trom it? Why
not let the minority do the steering?
“The Brunswick Times,” says the
Macon Telegraph, ‘’believes that the
time ought to oome when South Geor
gia shall get a slice of the pie dished
out biennially by the state democratic
convention. The Grillin News refers
to the preposterous suggestion as the
‘same old cry from South Georgia.’ So
far from receiving any favors, South
Georgia, it seems, should be spanked
for presuming to make any claim for
pie.” Well, hardly. The shingle re
quired for that acrobatic performance
lias not yet been rived from its native
pine.
President J. Pope Brown, of the
State Agricultural Society, says of the
Georgia farmer that he has not been so
well oil'for‘JO years. Glad to hear it.
There are some things that could
hardly change for the worse; and we
trust that our farmers, now secure in
their prosperity, may tind protected
cotton bagging and ties, and free cot
ton so conducive to their financial
health that they will no longer need
to be dosed with that favorite prescrip
tion for the “prosperous” farmer which
reads “live harder, work harder, buy
less and sell more.”
PECULIAR PROSPERITY.*
In an editorial comment upon some
plain, unvarnished truths as to the con
dition of the American farmer that re
cently appeared in these columns, the
Savannah News intimates that, while
The Times means well, it does not
know what it is talking about.
The News was nevermore mistaken.
We not only mean well, but our ac
quaintance with the deplorable condi
tion into which the agricultural inter
ests of the country have fallen is
much too intimate to suit that class of
newspapers here, which, though dem
ocratic, echo with an almost imper
ceptible southern accent the dogma
of the northern trusts and syndicates.
Such papers cannot afford to admit
that our farmers are anything but
prosperous. Such an admission would
be a virtual indictment of the undem
ocratic economic policy which has
given the minority the advantage
that under a democratic government
should lie with the majority.
The News at the outset begs the
question by confining itself to the
status of the Georgia farmer alone.
The Times had in view the farmers of
the country at large, but the proof
our contemporary requires may for
tunately be found as near at hand as
the indications of agricultural pros
perity to which it refers.
Prosperous people are oontented
people. The farmer is forever kick
ing, and in the last presidential cam
paign came within an ace of kicking
over the trough at whioh the sap suck
ers of the country are feeding. His
complaints are chronic, but the rem
edy prescribed by the class of agricul
turists quoted by the News tells the
story. When the farmer cries hard
times, economy is prescribed as a sov
ereign remedy; he is coolly told that
his prosperity is self-evident, and that
be has only to live harder, work hard
er, buy less and sell more. Prosper
ous people generally live easier, work
less and buy more. That is what pros
perity means outside of the News’ of
fice; and neither the farmers of Geor
gia nor the country at large are likely
to accept as the genuine article a
brand of “prosperity” that has all the
essential attributes of poverty.
The agricultural essay writers
quoted by the News are no more rep
resentative farmers than a millionaire
is a representative American. They
are exceptions. The average farmer
does not attend agricultural conven
tions. He seldom has money to spare
and he never has railroad passes.
is the exceptional farmer who, with
money and eloquence to burn, figures
at these conventions and shows by the
advice he gives his brethren that Jje,
at least, labors under no delusion as to
their condition.

NEW YORK’S POOR ROADS.
Important Reasons For Highway Improve
ment Throughout the State.
That New York is behind the times
in the matter of good roads is recognized
by all who have given the subject any
thought. The New York Tribune,
which has long been a warm advocate
of highway improvement, offers sug
gestions which are worthy of the highest
consideration. It says:
First class roads, if not built by the
state, can be afforded only in regions
inhabited by persons of more wealth
than the average farmer. Near the large
cities are great areas tenanted by those
who have business in the city, but pre
fer to live in the country. Here the
property values are much higher than
in regions exclusively devoted to farm
ing interests, aud, the taxes being pro
portionately higher, it is possible to
spend more money on the roads.
Under our present law the people of
the state work out their road taxes
without intelligent supervision, aud
often not only is the labor wasted, but
the roads are spoiled. The faults of the
roads which could be remedied without
extra expense in labor are mainly these:
First. —The roads are too narrow and
too high in the center. On account of
the narrowness the wheels all run in
the same track, and the extreme curva
ture of the roadbed compels the wheels
to run on the edge instead of the surface
of the tires, the combination of the two
faults causing the formation of deep
ruts.
Second. —Loose stones are allowed to
remain in the roads, and the work is
not directed toward keeping the roads
smooth.
The legislation hitherto proposed has
only aimed at a few state roads. This
is insufficient. Trained supervision is
needed over all roads.
The important reasons for road im
provement throughout the state are
three—first, the desirability of reducing
the cost of hauling; second, the impor
tance of making most of the roads lit
for pleasure driving, thereby attracting
to the rural districts in summer thou
sands of people who create a local mar
ket for various farm products; third, the
economic principle of preventing the
great waste of labor which is now fruit
lessly expended in making bad roads.
PRESERVE THE ROADS.
Making the Horses Travel In the Wheel
Tracks Is a Good Plan.
E. D. Riglitmire of Burlington coun
ty, N. J., says: “Farmers in this county
will travel miles out of their way to get
on a stone road and save time and ex
pense by so doing. Therefore, as to the
intrinsic value of stone roads, they
themselves are their own vindicator. I
do not think it necessary to stone all
roads in the county, but the most prom
inent ones should be as soon as the ap
propriation could be .made without in
cumbering the county with bonds.
“When a stone road is completed, the
general impression is that it will last
forever without any attention, which is
a serious mistake. They need as much
attention as a good gravel ’road—i. e.,
in the extreme heat of summer the most
essential thing to be done is to water
with watering carts and follow by roll
ing. With wide tires and wide whiffie
trees on heavy wagons used it would
not be required to roll often, as the
wheels with wide tires would act as a
roller instead of ruttiug, as do the nar
row ones. The greatest wear upon stone
roads is caused, first, ly the calks on the
shoes of the horses; second, by the
wheels of the heavy wagons. But by
wide (ires there would be comparatively
little wear l>v the wagon. Thus most of
it is caused ly the horses, which can be
overcome to a very great extent by the
horse traveling in the wheel track. ”
Farmers Want Good Roadn.
It can no longer be truthfully said
that the farmers as a class are against
the good roads movement. A goodly
majority of them are exerting a strong
influence for the betterment of the pub
lic ways and are laboring with their
less informed neighbors to try to
make them view the subject in the same
light. The result of the campaign of ed
ucation that has been carried on this
winter will become happily apparent in
the superior amount aud kind of road
improvement that will be undertaken
in a great many localities next spring.
Exchange.
Now Is the Time.
Since brains are the one thing most
needed in making good roads they
should be prepared for the spring work
during the winter. Let the farmers dis
miss the subject at their meetings.—L.

a wide bolt, most often black, of ribbon
wound many times around the waist.
Skirts are flat in front and at the sides,
all the fullness being thrown to the back,
where it forms three or five godets, accord
ing to tho wearer’s figure and the material
employed. The circumference of the skirt
ranges form four to five yards.
Very few pockets are seen in jackets,
what thero are being usually concealed
under a fold or trimming.
The shoes and slippers worn with even
ing costume must now match the gown in
color.
Children, both boys and girls, who are
not perfectly robust should always wear
gaiters when going out of doors in cold
weather. There is no reason why tho head
and the upper part of the body should bo
carefully protected from chill while tho
legs, from the knees downward, are no
more warmly covered in the open air than
indoors. Children who are equally well
protected from head to foot are much less
liable to colds and croup than thoso who
aro not.
Combinations of blue and green are still
very much ala made and are often very
charming. In pale tones the suggestion is
of reflections in limpid water, while in the
deep ones tho colors of tho peacock seem to
bo repeated. With black the strong green
and bluo effects are especially happy. Not
quite so satisfactory is the newer combina
tion of violet and pale blue, but it is a
novelty and therefore to be chronicled.
Today’s illustration shows a tailor made
costume of beige cloth. The skirt hus go
dets at the back, while on the left side are
three stitched folds ornamented with but
tons of cut. silver. The bodice is plain in
the back, while in front thero is a yoke of
cashmere embroidered silk, over which the
cloth is arranged in three diagonal folds
decorated with buttons. The close cloth
sleevos are divided near the top over a puff
of cashmere silk. The soft belt is of pink
velvet, and a bow of pink velvet is placed
on the right shoulder. The collarette and
wrist frills are of white lace.

Sometimes it is turned down upon itself

sewed on the garment or may bo cut in
one with it. Novelty demands that it shall
be lined with fur, mouflon, chinchilla, er

The sleeves are close to a point well
