ATLANTA, Feb. s.-There should be no ri
valry between newspapers in Atlanta, as all
| papers published here are in one sense s'capi-
| taf' papers.
Messrs. Baldwin s. Co., of Savannah. are
distributing in this section of the State very
neat job Of lithographing from the MORNING
NEWS establishment, advertising their phos-
pilates to the farmers Of Georgia.
DR.. Walter A. TaNor, the well known
druggist and perfumer of Atlanta, has ar
ranged to distribute twenty thousand copies
of his ''Sesqui- Centennial Oglethorpe Souve-
nir'' in Savannah on Monday and Tuesday
next. 1t is valuable and timely compliment
to your venerable city.
Don't forget the orphan boys at Bethesda
on Monday, as the early history Of that worthy
Institution is inseparably connected with Gen.
Oglethorpe's first labon in Georgia. Hon.
| Joseph Habersham, who was the special
friend Of the ''Orphan House, during White
fields day, was Georgia first Cabinet officer.
He was Postmaster General in 1885,
The Louisville CoHrier-oJeuraaI publishes a
| picture of United States Senator Richard
| Coke, of Texas, that is universally taken to
| be Gen. Phil Cook, of Georgia. so striking is
the resemblance in every respect. Both are
fine specimens of physical manhood, as well
| as popular statesmen.
Our gamblers have fairly recovered from the
squirt" that threw some of their implements
| OF trade into the hands of the police, and are
| again boldly plying their vocation. Atlanta
is one of their most fertile fields, and they will
| not abandon 1t without a prolonged struggle
Captain j. C.. Shaw, the irrepressible and
handsome travelling agent of the Central Rail-
road, has been here and worked up lively
boom for the Sesqui- Centennial. The impress
sion prevails that he is to represent TOmOchi-
| chi, and there is general desire to see this
big 1nJun, Me-" in his native costume, as
well as his native custom.
MINOR TOPICS.
The drama of the "Maid of San Domingo"
announced to be in preparation by the Macon
amateurs, is not an original production. but
was adapted from the German by Major
| Charles w. Hubner, our well known poet and
| essayist.
Cadet Cornelis Dew. Wilcox, son of Prof
| Charles L. WILCOX, of the Georgia State UR-
yerslty, has been elected Secretary of the
| Dialectic Society, atWest Point Military Acad-
emy, OF which he is star" member of the
fourth class.
Judge John L. Hopkins. of this city. who is
| one of the most enthusiastic as well as sue
cessful breeders of fine Jersey cattle in this
| city, tells me that the owners of this splendid
breed of cattle will attend the State Agricul-
tural meeting in Macon, on the 2lst. and or
ganize club or association. They ''mean
business" and good deal of it, in the future
This five years lOan'' business is opening
the eyes of hundreds of poor deluded farmers
who have applied to loan agents for money. A
critical examination of the deeds and records
has in numerous cases revealed the fact that
tnelr Titles were worthless. All over Georgia,
wherever these agents are loaning money,
this evil is found to exist, and it should cause
every land owner to carefully examine his
CHAIN OF titles and see if he too. is not in the
same fix. This caution will do no harm, and
may save great loss to widows and orphans in
the future.
There Is a new portrait on exhibition at the
Young Mems Library of the late lamented
Senator b. IL. Hill thatIs attracting consider
able attention and calling forth much favor
able comment. 1t was executed by Atlanta's
talented young artist, Prof. Horace Bradley,
who has given only his spare moments to por-
trait painting. The pose of the head is not
quite natural, but otherwise the picture is
creditable in the highest degree. DR.. Drewe-
ry, of Griffin, the member of the Legislature
from Spaldlng, who introduced the resolution
authorizing the Governor to secure portrait
or the deceased Senator met the committee
here yesterday, and after consultation de-
cIded to advertise for proposals from artists to
paint the portrait, and take final action at the
July term of the Legislature.
Our city was filed with shock of sincere
grief this morning by the teegraphic an
nouncement from Albany, Ga, of the death
of Miss Jennie Logan, the last surviving child
of DR.. j. p. Logan, an eminent physician of
this city. Although a victim to consumption
and slowly wasting away, her death was q
SHOCK 10 Jne Wlue circle IN which she
was dearly beloved for her amable character
and useful Christian life. She was a sister of
Mrs. Captain John A. Grant, who died several
years ago, and had been indeed as a mother
to the orphan child left to her care. Few
lives have been more pure and useful, and to
the bereaved parents in their now childIess
home all hearts go out in deepest sympathy.
All that the most tender devotion and fondest
affection could suggest, with the most skilled
medical attendance, was done to make COM
Portable the last days of the suffering daugh-

'HIs ExCELLENCY."
Report says Governor Cleveland of New
York, objects to being called "fIis Excelency,"
and prefers palmer title in official communi-
cations.
Looking over the venerable "Book of Com
missions IN the Secretary of States Office,
find that our Georgia Governors have varied
their titles somewhat. The following are cop
led from the official record book:
by His EXcellency, James Wright, Esq.
captain General, Governor and Commander
in-Chief of His Majesty's said Province of
Georgia, Chancellor and Vice Admiral of the
me."-l76l.
by, the Honorable Button Gwinnett, Esq,
said State."-1777.
''By the Honorable George Walton, ESQ.,,
Captain General, Governor and Commander
ln-Chlef OF the State of Georgia. ."-17S9.
'By His Excellency Peter Early, Governor
and Commander-in Chief of the Army and
Navy of this State, and of the Militia thereof"

THE GovERNoR's AIDES DE CAMP.
Governor Stephens will be accOmpanied by
many OF the members Of his staff, If not all,
during his official visit to Savannah, and they
will represent to a considerable extent the
various sections of the State.
Ihey are not, however, the personal choice
OF the Governor, in the sense that a General
selects his aides. Political influences have
put these selections into the same category
with other branches of official patronage.
Certain influential politicians or some par
tlcular sections of the State ask the appoint
ment OF such and such gentlemen on the
Governors staff, and, following a time hon
ored custom, he makes the appointment. 1t
is possible, perhaps, that he may be allowed to
choose one or two of his own personal friends
unmOved by outside influences.
AUutant General John A. Stephens, a
nephew OF the Governor, is one of the most
sOldierly looking men in Georgia, strikingly
attractive in his appearance and full of mill
tary ardor. Having seen service in the field,
In the State Senate and as lawyer, he is fully
qualified for the position he so well dignifies.

Barnard E. Bee and Isaac Russell, OF Savan-
nah; John 9. PrintuP, of Rome; S. Douglass

Burke, OF Atlanta; Charles H; Hopkins, of
Lewis, Of Greensboro; Edward L. Wight, of

Gambler, of Atlanta.
The above is the order of their appointment
the list is copied. They all hold the rank of
Lieutenant Colonel Printup Burke, Hon
klns and Wight are or have been Commanders
of volunteer companies. ~
