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.” President McKinley's friends an nounce to an admiring world that no mercy is to be shown Cuban filibusters, The present administration’s mercies will be devoted exclusively to the treasury busters. 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.

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. JUDIC CHOLLET. NEW JACKETS. Trimmed With Fur aud Military Braid. I-ittle Girl’s C >at. Jackets are much altered from last sea son’s models. No more godets are seen on the hips and only two or three very slight ones at the back, a little below the waist. Jackets are also shorter than they were, the basque falling very little below the hips. The front is straight, as a rule, with out darts and buttoning in the middle or LITTLE GIRI.’S COAT. at the side. The back is very close fitting, however, having a seam in the middle or being cut whole, according to fancy. Re vers have disappeared to a great extent, the jacket buttoning up to the collar, which to be fashionable must bo high und flaring. Sometimes it is turned down upon itself in the form of seal laps, tabs or a plain . band. The collar may bo out separately and sewed on the garment or may bo cut in one with it. Novelty demands that it shall be lined with fur, mouflon, chinchilla, er mine and other light kinds being pre ferred. The sleeves are close to a point well above the elbow, above which there Is a moderate fullness. When the sleeve is in one piece—that is, without an outside seam —it is necessarily less tight than when it Is in two pieces. It Is ornamented to match the body of the jacket Straight sacks show the same effects In collars and sleeves, although the latter are sometimes loose, gathered into a deep cuff at the wrist. The sack itself is most often in two or three plaits back and front. The sketch shows a little girl’s coat for dcmlseason. It is of red and black mixed cloth and is mounted in deep plaits on a yoke of black velvet At the two front corners of the yoke arc bows of velvet fas tened by paste buckles. The sleeves have cuffs of 4>lnck velvet aud are also orna ment’d with coquilles of the cloth. The collar and ruche are of black velvet. Judic Chollet.
