A man w-h i doesn’t know anything is pretty sure to tell it the first chance he get". A mans reputation for wisdom does not depend one-half so much upon his knowl¬ edge as it does upon the skill he lias ac¬ quired in concealing his ignorance. The Macon it Alabama railroad is being talked of again. In the Central City. The Central City can’t afford to lose Crawford county’s trade, and ber merchants arc go¬ ing to work until this road is built. The Macon Saturday Budget will he changed to a small morning daily paper, and under the management of George L. Mason, formerly of the New York World, it is going to ho a spicy little sheet. A man named John DeCoursey, who got drunk in Atlanta some time ago, and who was dressed in rags, proved to have over $100 on his person. The Constitution re¬ ferred to himfas a tramp and tlie man wants damages to the extent of $10,000. The melon growers in this state should form an alliance for their benefit and pro¬ tection- The railroads “gouge’'them, the sharks , , rob . them , and . the patronizing . . . public ... are ire disappointed, disappointed, all on account of-the lack of system and business methods with v.hicb tlie traffic should bo controlled. ____ Judge Calhoun has decided that the At hnta three drunk orinadnee is miconstitu tional, and in several cares of that nature before him on writs of habeas corpus rti'od ia that effect. The prisoners were charged being full of liquor- Judge Calhoun claims t hat to till upon liquor is not a crime nor i misdemeanor. In many of tlie back d’stiirfs of Ken¬ tucky the mails arc often carried ns far as t’alrly-tive miles bj men who walk the whole distance once a day. A local paper thus describes one of these sturdy carriers: Mr. Daugherty is very accommodating to per so is living along the line (he ought to be). He will carry a saddle, bee hive, pup or even a dog, if he is not too big, and he is elided enough, lie will ride a horse through for any one for a quaiter, and car¬ ry the mail pouches on his shoulder.” Friday afternoon, as Conductor Single ton was going through his train just after leaving Americus, collecting and punching 'tickets, he came to a young lady passenger, who opened the little satchel and took out what sh3 thought was her ticket, and it having the face down, the conductor punched it arid turned it over, hut to the amusement of the conductor and a few passengers who happened to be lady, looking it on and the mortification of the was a fancy* picture of a lady that caine in a ’package jrbv x of .- cigarettes, .i ->•• *...... • t- • Tbe ISamie FSuut. A. C. Van Epps, .the father of Judge Howard Van Epps of the city court of At¬ lanta, who lives on his farm in DeKalb county, near.the line dividing that county from Fulton, is an enthusiast' on the subject of ramie and has a large patch o,f it on,his farm. A few daj-s ago he cut a bundle cf it and hung the bundle in the office of the c]erk of the superior conrtof Fulton county, The plant showed a growth of .12 feet, and was heavily covered with b. eves. Fastened to the ramie is the following card. “Ramie or Chinese bark silk. This han¬ dle was cut from the sixteenth crop on the same ground, t.o which has been applied neither plow, hoc nor fcrtiVw. :• since the first year’s planting. . Tt grows. _as pactly on the ground as the' hair on a dog,’ and harbors no weeds or grass. It provides its own fertilizer by dropping its leaves, and needs no other. It matures no seed in this country, but is propagated very easily rroriL pieces of the root. It spreads later¬ ally on the ground, but at a slow rate, this bed of it having spread but two feet in 17 years .The leaves and ti n ’-v top* funieh a gieen forage pinch relished.l.y horses and cattle. For that use it ear, be put four months, and yields many tons to the acre during the season. -Te .tile purposes it is cut two or three times during the year. It has recently been developed that the ra¬ mie and cotton plant are I.kid to become very valuable as sources of paper pulp. For that purpose ramie is probably much to be prefored, as from one acre,, it wilt yield as much paper niaterbb ns twenty acres of cotton if grown for irs lint. The difference of-labor in gathering would be about one to twenty in fav.. r of ramie.
