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 States is as good and smart as he is hand¬ some Cleveland and the Government are to bo congratulated. Tie name of the Chief Justice is Melville W. Fuller, and ha hails from the Sucker state, (Illinois ) 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¬ ical National Bank of New York. It was 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.

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. VJT /NEORUIA, Crawford County.— Whereas To all whom it may concern : J. B.
