A BIC CRASH.

"A BIG TRASH.
You have read of the man who drew the
elephant in the lottery. Augusta, in few
years, was in the condition of that individual.
Real estate scared aloft 1t went up, up, up.
The Spragues began extensive building oper-
atiors. and then came the mighty collapse
The great firm was bankrupt, and their vast
property was in the receivers hands. As a
consequence, their plans could not be carried
out. and Augusta was in debt for their sakes.
For years matters have been running along
Affairs were tangled and complicated, and
even the shrewdest heads in the legal pro-
fession were bafled in their efforts to bring
order out of this financial chaos. At last
things came to head, and the courts granted
the creditors the right to dispose of the prop
ertv. The date for the sale of the Augusta
property was fixed at July 9th.

Single vs.. Married Soldiers.

It has long been a mooted point
whether single or married men make the
best soldiers.
Some maintain that the lack of wife
and family tends to make man more
reckless of his life-therefore a good
soldier.
Others say that the married man is al
most veteran when he enters the ranks,
being Injured to combat-therefore a
good soldier.
In the recent Tunisian campaign
Colonel was questioned upon this point
"Both are right" said he. Look
yonder-do you see that battalion OF
happy, devil-may-care fellows? They
are all single men, and they would take
their lives in their hands. But look
again-do you see those taciturn, somber,
gloomy-looking men there? They are
all married, and in hand-to- hand fight
they are terrors.
'sWhat is the name of the battalion ?''
asked the inquirer.
.They are called" said the Colonel,
gravely, 1.-The Children of Despair.
