theory. 1t is too late in the day for any man
to denounce or make light Of vaccination as it
has done noble work wherever called into
operation. Here in Atlanta, with probably
thirty thousand human beings liable to take
the smallpox, with the weather damp and
warm, and the disease epidemic in many parts
or the land. vaccination has brought feeling
OF security to thousands who were in dread of
the approach of smallpox. There can be an
improper and injurious vaccination, but it is
the fault of the vaccinator and not of the
theory, which must be properly applied.
JOURNALISTIC MOVEMENTS
The Noon, weekly journalistic venture that
went into an eclipse some months ago, after
the issue of the first number. is to be revived
on Monday of next week. 1t will be a spicy
paper.
The Southern World. large agricultural
weekly journal, is now printed in Atlanta. the
office having been removed here from Ohio
during the past week and located at the Frank
lin Printing House.
The Drummer, which started off rather dull
in its editorial get up, is to be greatly improved
| under Mr.. Smith Clayton's editorial manage
ment. Mr.. II: H. Dickson remains the pub
Usher, and prints a neat paper.
the Monday Morning MdII edited and pub
lished by Col. f Y. Clark, of the Weekly Post

full of reading matter and some items of local
news.

The MORNING NEWS is much larger than many
of its readers are aware. l surprised gentle
man at the Markham House news stand by
folding 1t and proving to him that it was onlysa
| grain smaller than the eight-page daily that he
| held in his hand. The fact is las a comparison
| will show, there are few dalies in the South
that give as much reading matter as the NEWS
PERSONAL MENTION
Honors are easv when our city papers alude
to Gen" H l. Kimball, who has gone to New
York to deliver an address on the late Exposi-
tion.
Senator Brown had hard time getting home
| from Washington, and did not reach Atlanta
until yesterday morning. High water and
Washouts on railroads were the cause of
Col, I. w Avery is highly gratified at the
| ready and extended sale of his History Of
Georgia, the demand reaching even TO a third
| edltlop, which is now in press No similar
| work has had such sale In the South, or met
| with more cordial reception.
The suicide of Mr.. Pat Carroll was a very sad
af1slr, as he had been married to a most esti-
| maole young lady but few months, and was
| a generous hearted and popular man. But
| whisky proved his worst enemy The friends
| of his brother, Mr.. Owen c. Carroll, will regret
to learn that he is quite ill, and could not at
| tend the funeral.
1t is singular fact that Senator Hills two
most brilliant proteges, Hon. Emory Speer and
| Hon. A. II. Cox, are leaders in the Independent
movement to which the Senator himself at or
| time gave some little laid and comfort" Early
Impressions are strong, and he will now find
hmself compelled to use all his eloquence and
| logic to win his young and gifted friends hack
| to the Democratic fold in which they were
nurtured.
Speaking Of Senator HILL deeply regret to
TeaIlrm my original fears as to his critical CON
dIton; Private advices confirm the statement
or Colonel Tuggle that Senator Hill informed
MN that he would be compelled to submit to
another operation on his tongue, as the cancer
is again reappearing. No Georgian can hear
this sad news without feeling of deem sorroUv
IL IL Is an awful atfiction, and one before which
the stoutest and bravest heart must Quail.
