SOME REMARKABLE WINTERS.

Now is the time to trot out paragraphs
about remarkable winters-winters that
have distinguished themselves by being
either colder or warmer than the law
allows No well regulated newspaper
will neglect this duty. Referring back
to our flies. we find that in ll72 the
temperature was So high that leaves
came out on the trees in January, and
birds hatchcd their broods IN February.
In 1889 the weather was equally mild,
sEi the maidcns of Cologne wore
wrcalhs of violets and corn-iowcrs 1t
Christmas aud Twelfth Day. In ll2l
the trees lowered IN the month Of March,
and the vines in the month o, April.
Cherries ripened in the same month OF
April; peaches appeared in May, and
little bows commenced ~ fal! ont ot ap-
pie trees little later In 1872 The trees
were covered with leaves IN January,
and the birds Matched their young II
February. rs in ll12. In 1886 the same
thing was repeated. and il IS added that
the corn was in the ear ut Easter. 10
the best OF our memory there WAS III
France neither snow nor frost through
ont the winters OF lbs, lGu1, l6r3, l"l'.
1853 iina!lr, III iG62, even in the north
Of Germany. the stoves were not light
ed. trees lowered in February, and out
doors bouquets were showercd on the
newspaper offices without number, 1t
seems hut a Yesterday. Coming 10
later dates, the winter of lSI6-47, when
it thundered 1t Paris on the 2Sth OF Jan
uary. and that Of 1866, the Year Of the
inundntion of the Seine, may be men-
toned rs very mild.

Wants to Shoot Again.

Last week we copied an article from
the Handsboro Democrat stating that
W. B. Chandler, the young man who
killed Furguson while attempting to
shoot Capt. P. X. Mayors, was a fugi
tive from Justice. 1t is evident that the
Democrat told the truth. Chandler
was not present during the setting OF
the Hancock county court and a forfeit

Chandler is anxious for notoriety it
seems, and in reply to the Democrats
article publishes the following:
In last weeks issue the Handsboro
Democrat has seen fit to renew its VIC
lent attacks upon me, representing thai

as false as it was malicious.
The poor man who controls the edlto'
rial columns of that paper should rather
be pitied than blamed it seems he was
born an idiot.
If these abrsive editorials are written

Not II Candidate.

We are pleased to lay before cur
readers q card from Gov. A. G.. Drawn,
From it it will be seer that he was not
a candidate for office and had not
agreed to serve if elected. In view of
the fact, we think great injustice has
been done the old hero by some OF
the State papers. We have never been
a strong advocate of Gov. Brown, bnt
have always believed him to be q pure
and upright man. The filings at him
by some editors of this State are entire
" ont of place, and if we had ever said
aught against his candidacy for the
Senate from the district of Kinds and
Rankin counties, we should, after read-
ing his card, feel it a duty we owed
him to withdraw everything said about
him. Will others who have criticised
him be as generous?
