A PROHIBITION TOWN.

The Dublin (Ga.) Gazette gives
the following pen picture as to how
prohibition prohibits in that town !:
"The last bar room in Dublin closed
nearly six weeks ego, and the peo>
pie have now had time to form some
sort of opinion as to how the new
regime works. There are six unoc,
cupied business houses in town, a
greater number than we have ever
know before. But as four of the
six are barrooms, there can be said
to be only two business houses clos
ed and that is a uetter showing
than the town could make at almost
any other period within the past ten
years. All the houses doing bust
ness in town have goods stocks of
goods and appear to be moving off
with the new business year with a
more than usual cheerfulness. So
much from a business standpoint
On the moral side there has been a
complete revolution. The almost
daily sight of one or more indigeut
men reeling out of town has almost
stopped completely. The profane,
obscene aud boistexous negro va
grants have disappeared The count
less dimes and quarters, formerly
squandered in mean whisky now 90
for the necessaries of life, and send
happy fathers home to meet glad
wives and children. The solemn
quiet of midnight, that nature has
vouchsafed to the health and happi,
ness of man, is not SO much broken
by the rattle of pocket artillery
These and other good results have
been noticed by all intelligent OBJ
servers, and we believe everybody
in the county, except the parties
financially Interested and their par>
ticuIar friends, are glad that whisky
is out"

A SLIGHT MISTAKE.

A lady has been much annoyed
of late by book agent, of whom, in
some uuguarded moment heretofore,
she purchased book, and for which
reason be has considered it his right
aud privilege to call at all hours aud
take up much of her time dilatiug
on the advantages of other books,
most of which would be dear at any
price. Having borne the inhiction
for some, she at last told him that he
need not trouble himself to call again,
IS che didn't want any book and had
no time to waste looking at them.
The very next day he was there
again, and then, entirely losing her
patience, she told him that If be
came there again he would wish he
had not. A day or two after, while
she was cleaning lamps, there came a
ring at the bell, and looking out Of
the window she beheld her enemy
standing upon the steps, book in
hand, gazing about the neighbor-
hood Hastily catching up the pail
of amp-water, she opened the door,
and when the man turned, with
mouth open, ready to speak, she
gave him the contents of the pail
square 10 the mouth. The sudden
ness of this unexpected reception
staggered the gentleman, and losing
his balance he fell off the steps back
ward. The thoroughly angered wo,
man stood upon the steps and shout
ed CHOW you just get cut of this,
and il ever catch you around
here again III give you another
dose" The man got upon his feet
and displayed to the angry lady not
the smiling and familiar features of
the book agent, but the aatonished
aud besmeared countenance Of
minister from an adjoining town,
whose church she once atieoded and
who performed the marriage cere
mony at her wedding. We kindly
draw a veil over the scene that fol1
lowed. Il is sufficient to say that
the minister mado no more calls that
forenoon, and he complains tina. his
food has been favored with a cons
biuation of soap and kerosene oil
ever since, and the lady is angry
because the book agent will not
know anything about her little game
until be reads it 10 this paper.

THE CHAMPION FoRGER.

NETT G. O'Neil, the Schenectady
New York Broker who recently fall
ed has fled, and that he has victim.
lied parties 10 Schenectady and
Duenesburgh ont of not less than
S250,000. Having the handling of
his fathers estate, being presumably
wealthy, be was elected a director
of the schenectady Bank From
the books of the Bank be learned
that many farmers in Duanesburgh
bad funds to invest He obtained
possession of The money on plausible
representations, and gave as securi>
" forged mortgages. Where furth-
er proof was asked, be would even
forge assignments of mortgages, in.
Guiding the county clerks certificate
and the copy of the record He all
SO forged notes. The ingenuity and
labor he expended in swindliug
ought to have made him wealthy, it
directed to legitimate channels
His victims already announced, form
au incredibly large list. One of
his methods is as follows: He would
make short loan to a responsible
party, take a note as security, skill
fully forge copy of the note and
when the money was paid surrender
the forged note and negotiate the
genuine one anew. Other schemes
of his devisiog are still being ex.
posed Nearly every person 10 the
town of Duanesburg who had money
is victim. 10 Schenectady the
losses are counted by scores. His
relatives shared the same fate as bis
neighbors. His mother and sisters
and female cousins are left penniless
If he could not secure large sums he
would take small ones. Before
leaving Schenectady on the mid
night train, O'Nei!, taking a huns
bred dollar greenback 10 his hand,
went from store to store asking to
have it changed. No one could
change it, and he borrowed a few
dollars frow each storekeeper. He
viciimized over twenty residents OF
Schenectady by this game. O'Neil
went to New York, where it is said
he made an unsuccessful attempt to
raise $4,000 on forged securities.
l. is believed that he has gore to Eu-
rope. His wife two daughters and
500 are still in Schenectady.

An authority upon such subjects
says that wedding celebrations are
graded from cotton to diamond
after this manner: AT the end of
the fret year, the cotton wedding /;
at the end of the second year the
paper wedding; at three, the leath

wooden /; at ten the tin at twelve
the silk or fine linen, or both ; at
fifteen crystal at twenty, the china /;
at twenty five silver. After this
the gifts grow more aud more costly.

GIRL OF SENSE.

There was an elOpement the other
day in New York fashionable socie-
ty which caused great excitement on
account of the peculiar wishes Of the
girls parents with regard to her.
They wanted to marry her to the
Duke de Morny, youthful repro
bate in whose bedroom the gifted
French actress shot herself a few
months ago. Tna Duke needed
money aud the girls parents needed
or thought they needed, titled SOM
in-Iaw. But the young woman,
with excellent sense, married her
own true lover, who happens to be
40 American of excellent reputation
add character, whose only defect
was that he bad no millions and no
titles. New York society Tor once
showed its good sense by applaud
ing the elopement, and the Duke
who arrived 10 New York last
month, is looking around for some
candidate for the honors and mis-
cries Of marriage into the French
Nobility
Unless a man has something else
to recommend him besides title, the
marriage of an American girl to a
foreigner of high rank means misery
to the wife, The most famous of
such alliances, that between Jerome
Bonaparte and Elizabeth Patterson
was also the most disastrous, and
ought to have been taken sufficiently
to heart by Americans ambitious of
foreign honors to prevent similar
errors. But even the miserable
Betsy Patterson's life of social exile
has not been sufficient to deter many
fair Americans from riskiug every
thing 10 this most hazardous game.
Marriage with French uoblemen
on the lookout for American girls
with money, means exactly what
marriage with any other dissipated
wretch may mean, with the addition
al misery that 10 nine cases out of
ten the coveted title proves to be Of
little value, or it would never have
come so far for market.
A Frenehman will marry
French woman if be can, aud there
are enough rich title worshippers 10
France to exchange their millions
and daughters for a coronet, if the
latter is worth anything to begin
with. Upon all considerations, a
young woman Of our land who rams
away rather than follow in Betsy
Patterson's wake is to be congratu-
lated

Twenty five or thirty years ago,
an American midshipman was SUI

at home or abroad. AS an ilIustra
ton, the following aoecdote, related
on a voyage, 10 1851 from VaIpa

A middle from on board one of
our vessels of war, was on shore, at
one of the provincial towns on that
coast, walking with friend and met
an aged Priest: The priest, as is
the custom in those Roman Catho
Tic countries, wore the habiliments
of his calling bearing on the back,

to exhibit his wit, saw an opportuni

man halted, met the salute with
graceful ease and replied
"Ihsnk you, sir! | speak your
language "a little"
1t so happened that our young Of
ficer had stumbled on one of the
most cultivated men of that country,
and who, as the sequel shows, under
stood our language to its finest shade
and significance.
The Priest would have moved 90,
but our middle detained him, saying:

GOSSIP There is absolutely no
redeeming feature in gossip Even
if true, we do not desire to know
disagreeable facts about any Of our
neighbors Nothing is demorslizing
to a man than to lose faith in his fell
lows. The man of faith and honor
is not apt to be suspicious of others,
and does not willingly believe evil.
The lover of scandal and the believ~
err in it are alike deficient 10 honor
and are the bane of we'll organized
society. If all gossips could be
quietly killed some morning the
next generation of men and women
would be happier. A case of hydro
pbobia now and then starts the cry
of 'Muzzle the dog Death on the
highways etc. There is death al
mystery 10 tie highways and by
ways and in the home from the poi
soned tongues of the gossips. Let
the.voice go up, 'Mazzle the gossips.'
Teach the children that gosSiping is
dishonorable, and that faith in the
honor and virtue of mankind will
build up society and add to the sum
of human happiness.

How "a Went Into I59.

In an arithmetical sense not difficult
accomplishment, but where the figuring
involves almost giving away articles of
necessity and luxury, sort of one-sided
business, as Simon Mitchell, late of "a
Whitaker street, found when he resolved
to have more room in which to display his
array OF ''good clothes" OF course the
less a man has to carry with him the
cheaper it is to move, and on this princi-
pie Mitchell slaughtered-yes, cut prices
all to pieces, and while it was ''cold
spell'' financially for Mitchell he was
kept pretty hot in serving the crowds who
took advantage Of the bonanza, and they
cleaned him out very well, too, so that he
is now settled at 159 BroughtOn street
(next to J. A. Douglass') with brand
new stock of Mems, Youths and Boys
business and dress suits, furnishing goods,
underwear, hats, caps, ETC., and he pro-
poses to hold his old trade and gain new
customers if looo prices, first-class goods
and fair treatment can do it. Call and
see him in his new stand. 159 BrOughtOn

Miss FIoride Abelrs Engagement With
the Fnrd Dramatic Association.


the Ford Dramatic Association.
The Ford Dramatic Association have
closed an engagement for the season of
1888 with the talented actress, Miss
Floride Abel. Miss Abel will make her
first appearance in Savannah as "Marl-
tana' in the drama, ''DOn Cesar DeBe-
zan," and as MRS. Trotter SOuthdown" in
the farce, ''To Oblige Vincent" to be pre-
scented by the Fords on the Goth instant.
Miss Abel, after studying for season
under Steele Mackeye, passed a hlgnly
successful examination before the crItl-
cal proprietors of the Madison Square
Theatre Company, and was regularly
employed by the company after only three
months Of preparation-a brilliant
achievement for an amateur. In Janu-
ary she Joined the company that played
Esmeralda and made a decided hit as
Nora Desmond, EstabrOOk's sweetheart.
Shortly the company was called in and
sent out again with ''YOung Mrs. VIM
throp." in which Miss Abel assumed the
highly important character of Mrs.
Dick Chetwynd," and again made bril-
liant hit. The New York Mirror speaks
of her in terms of high commentator, as
the equal of Miss Belle Gilbert in Som
stance"
The CORTLAND { n. y Standard speaks
of her in the following terms: ''Miss Abel
made the part of Mrs. Dick Chetwyn,'
the gay, careless, society woman, most
sparkling and -bewitching one. 1t is
the only character among the ladies of
the play which has much of the element
of humOr about it, and this Miss Abel
developed to the utmost. Her grace,
beauty, vivacity and brilliancy. COM
bined with her fine acting, made her a
general favorite."
Miss Abel is expected to arrive on
Monday in time for the final rehearsals of
the play. The Fords have been extremely
fortunate in securing the services of this
talented and popular acress, and they
will be rewarded by the patronage and
appreciatiOn of the people.
