it may bo remarked that Sam Small s

It takes lots of work to publish even a

Thu Knoxville Journal is becoming
quite popular all over the county audwill
likely be enlarged and improved ill the
harvest season.
Frost damaged some of the fruit crops,
but the country editor’s stand-by, the
blackberry crop, is assured. “Fortune
favors the brave.”
Thf. Atlanta Constitution strutted
cut in the field and crowed for the Randall
tariff plan. Now it is trying to sneak
back among the unspotted, -
Saturday's edition of tlie Atlanta. Even¬
ing Journal was so large tat it took two
bays to bring it from the post office to our
sanctum. In every column of that mam¬
moth edition vas something good.
A local editor or a reporter, to be
successful ought to be able to know more
of other people’s business than they dp of
their own. Such individuals are never
hard to find, but they are always lacking
in other qualifications.
The weekly press ot Georgia met at
Canton, Cherokee county, yesterday. It is
to be hoped that much good will grow one
of the convention. The country papers
are worth more to the people of this state
than are the city papers.
A merchant at Elgin, Ill., passed a
man’s account to profit and loss after dun¬
ning him about fifty times, and the man
sued him for damage to character and got
a verdict of $400. Deadbeats have more
legal rights than honest men. *
A Chicago man sued liis wife for a
divorce on the ground of cruelty. The
ciuelty consisted in the wife rushing upon
her husband with a pair of scissors and
clipping off his long, flowing beard. Of
course the man got the divorce,
If the new Chief Justice of the United

During the first four months of this
year 1096 miles of railroad have been built
in the United States. Of these 555 miles
arc in the South. In Georgia 113 miles
have been constructed, more than in any
other stale. In Texas 112 miles wove
built.
Where our Trade will Co.
■Certain citizens of Fort Valley feel that
a large portion of Crawford’s trade belongs
to them, and are credulous enough to
anticipate an increase of trade from this
section after the Atlanta & Florida road is
built through. The solitary fact of our
haviug no railroad is the only explanation
that can be given for our citizens patron¬
izing the Fort Valley merchants in tlie
past. There are, it is true, a number of
good farms in the corner of Crawford
county adjacent to Fort Valley whose
owners and tenants must always make
that town theii market. But while we
wish the business men of our neighbor town
prosperity, still it is plain that they will
have to give up a good deal of our trade
after a few mouths.
If Knoxville had as many and as good
business enterprises as Fort Valley has our
trade would be four times as great as is
Fort Valley’s trade: Our territory is far
better—so much greater that there is no
comparison—and men of brains and capital
of this county and from elsewhere will be
sure to control the trade of this county
and of portions of other counties. So sure
as this part of the world holds together,
just so sure will these statements be proven
true in less than two years time.
A draft for 1c. was received at the
New York Sub-Treasury, Monday, in the
mail. It was drawn by a national hank in
Bridgeport, Conn., and was on the Chem¬

sent to the sub-Treasnry in payment of the
balance then against the Bridgeport bank.
Montezuma Alliance Advocate: “Our
Primitive Baptist friends will not join the
alliance. They are opposed to all secret
orders.”
It is not so everywhere, Bro. Christo¬
pher. Iu this couuty our Primitiue Baptist
friends are more enterprising, and recognize
the necessity for such organization.

Spain is the place for electricians
now. The government has decreed that
all the theaters in the kingdom shall adopt
tlie electric light within six months. Ex¬
perts say that danger is irt this wholesale
edict, for there are not men and material
in the country to do the work .in the
required time, and if there should be a
general influx ot electricians, the work is
likely to be too hastily done to be safe.
Gcorge Brewster, of Marshall, Mich.,
is engaged in raising frogs for the market.
Ho estimates that he has lost 700 dozen
frogs this winter, all on account of sudden
changes of weather. Ho talks of moving
to Alabama and starting a frog farm ot
magnificent proportions. The farm at
Gauth, Ohio, where rattlesnakes are raised
for the medicinal oil that is taken from
them is the only industry, probably, that
W. W. Wilwot, an old man who
appeared on the streets of Montgomery,
Ala, a few days ago bogging for enough
moncj' to buy a railroad ticket to Mobile,
has had a romantic history. Many years
ago he invented a machine for crimping
shoes, aud soon acquired a fortune, In
187C he lost a wager of $75,000 that he
had on Tilden’s election to the Presidency,
and since then one misfortune lias crowded
closely on the heels of another until he has
lost his entire fortune and his health as
well.
Years ago the Government bought Gro¬
ver Island, near Savannah. Squatters
settled on it. Last week a United States
marshal drove the squatters off.
A few days ago a mad dog made his
appearance on the premises of Timothy
Stephens, on the Cherokee road, one mile
and a half north of Marietta. Tire dog
was foaming at the mouth and on a furious
run. He got over in the horse lot and bit
two horses. Mrs. Stephens saw him and
got her gun and went out and shot at the
rabid animal, but missed him. The dog
then turned and made at Mrs. Stephens.
She broke in a run for the house, with the
dog at her heels. She got the door closed
between her and the dog and then proceed¬
ed to reload her gun. She saw the dog
under the house, leveled her gun, fired and
killed the canine.
