The story Of Kansas is pretty familiar
one to most newspaper readers. She has
had an eventiul history, and it can be
said OF her, as OF the "hUndred and forty
and four thousand" that she has come
up to her present status through great
tribulation." From the time she was
orgauizsd as territory in 1854 up almost
tn the time Of her admission as State in
1861, she was . battle ground, Whereon
was fought the great preliminary battle
between the free and the slave States
All through the war that succeeded this
contest abe was rent and torn by the Jay
hawkers Of both armies. And since the
war she has had her full share Of misfor-
tunes in the shape OF drouths and grass
hoppers. Bat nevertheless, despite all
these tribulatioLs, she has astonished the
world by her extraordinary growth in
nonntation and wealth.

executes two mortgages-viz-a first mort

st. Nicholas for May is, as usual, fun
of very interesting matter, and has many
really fine illustrations. The frontis-
piece, "All ON the Road to Alibazan," is
excellent. The additional chapters of
the continued stories are full of interest,
and increase the desire for the remaining
chapters. The chapter among the Law
makers" is excellent, and 'What Joe and
Jean saw at the New Orleans ExpOsi-
ton" will meet with the hearty approval
of the little folks. The number is very
good one. The Century Company, New
York.
The magazine Of american History is
conducted with rare ability, and has
already taken a place among the monthly
periodicals of which its publishers have
reason to be proud. The contributions to
the May number are not only varied,
scholarly and valuable, but of a widely
popular character. The opening article
will be read with intense interest by
every American capable of approaching

is that of "Gen. Roger Enos-A Lost

The State Park Association held meet
ing a. Jacksonville Friday. The reports
of the respective officers submitted
showed deficiency of over $500 on the
late State Fair, Notwithstanding the
stock had been assessed ten per cent. in
Septem Der last, when the arrangements
for the exposition were commenced, and
that the citizens of Jacksonville had sub
scribed about $1,000 to help pay the pre-
MUM list. The shortage was caused
chiefly by certain extensive and necessary
repairs on the buildings, fences and
grounds, and the fact that the country
people did not give the far the patronage
they should have given it. An assess
ment of 20 per cent. vas made on the
capital stock to pay off all the liabilities
of the association. No action was taken
with respect to another fair, but
tue thorough gOOu IeellnS WHICH
prevailed among the stockholders showed
that they were not discouraged, and
very cheerfully submitted to the heavy
drain on their stock, and the indications
are that another fair will be held next
spring, and that the labOrs connected with
its preparation will be begun at once. An
effort will be made to extend the street
railway down to, if not through, the
grounds, and also TO have the park laid off
with shrubbery, etc, and make a model
farm of the place and, probably, a per-
manent place of recreation, which was
the original intention of the promoters.
The election of officers for the en-
suing year resulted as follows: j. Q.
| Burbridge, President; j. Il. McGinnis,
Vice Presidents j. G. Greeley, Treasurer
J. NJ. Farlie, Secretary; p. McQuaid, j.
p. Taliaterro, j. Huff, T. McMurrav and
ii. T. Baya, directors. Mr.. 2. McQuaid
was strongly urged to accept a reelection
as President, but positively declined.
After vote of thanks was passed to the
officials of the late State Fair the meeting
adjourned.

SPRING TIME.

The subtle fire of sweet. seductive Spring
Hath touched earth's drowsy heart, and
calmly breaks
Her dreamy rest, while now. to us to bring
The thrilling pulse, as slowly she awakes.
Oh, strange, unseen, unknown, but active
pow'r,
Why keep thy mystic secret unrevealeds
When wsest hands have sought to ope the
bower
That holds thy vital alchem thus concealed,
Whose vivid strength all dormant life must
own,
Accusing from its bondage to the rime.
While fair, from Winters broken icy throne,
You come, the eyer-youthful bride of time.
The sunshine weaves a brighter cloth-of-gOld,
Inc whispering wind softer sonnet sings,
And from the sedges' scar and sombre fold
A golden green of tender beauty springs.
The glintlng spires of ever sobbing pines
Have caught a tuneful note of peace serene,
And rock the secret of the ceaseless signs
In vernal arms of newer, brighter green.
Fair Spring! thou art a lovely tyne of youth,
That Time, so pregnant with Hopes bud
Whose golden censor holds the honey truth
That sleeps with sweet delight each tleetlng
hour.
The bursting bud reveals the promise meet,
The blossom yields its subtle, rich perfume,
But ere the perfect fruitage Is complete
Too oft the cankerworm brings early doom.
A type thou art of what is best in life,
symbol of that which comes when this is
done,
When Time shall hold no more his endless
strife.
Whose fatal sands for us have ceased to run.

Once Married her, Arrested.
NEW YORK, April o. - Jeremiah
Reynolds, the landlord of UnderhilFs
Hotel on the White Plains post
road, near TuckahOe, was arrested yes
terday morning on the charge Of kidnap-
ping his 4-year-old boy. The complainant
was the mother, Mrs. Mary Ann Francis,
of Port Washington, Long Island. A
writ of habeas corpus was also served on
Reynolds, requiring him to produce the
child. Both were before Justice Dykman
of the Supreme Court, in White Plains,
Yesterday, as was also the mother. The
child ran to her at first, but soon ran back
to it's father. About six years ago Rey-
nolds married the complainant. Soon af-
ter the birth of the child Reynolds was
convicted of bigamy, and was sentenced
to two years in Sing Sing. About ten days
ago Reynolds went to Port Washington
and got the child.
The court dismissed the writ, discharged
the father, and remanded the child TO his
custody.
Reynolds then resented remark of Mr..
Baxter, Mrs. Francis lawyer, by threat
ening to brain him if it were repeated.
Mrs. Francis screamed, and all the par
ties were hustled out of court. The quar-
rel was renewed in the street. Baxter
finally got warrant for Reynolds arrest
on the charge of threatening his life.
Reynolds afterward, in Justice Pauld-
ing's court, accused Lawyer Baxter Of
bringing about the trouble. Justice Pauld-
ing, finding that he would have TO commit
all hands for contempt if he went
on with the case, adjourned it until to-

The cane on Black creek in Carroll
county is going to seed. This happens
every fifty years, so "they say"
Americas Republican: A citizen of
Americas, who was reared on a farm and
thought he knew every plant that the
earth produced, asked some tom alto plants
from neighbor. He was told to so in
the garden and get as many ms he wanted.
He accordingly did as he de sired, pulling
up all the largest and best, as he thought,
carried them home and set them u IN his
garden. A few weeks after he examined
his tomatoes, and found out he had
gathered all the weeds from his neigh
boris garden and transferred them to his
own. He had big disgust for tomatoes
that year, and has never begged any more
plants.
Valdosta Times: Some time ago we
gave Mr.. Haynes experience with kero-
sene as an anti-lark medlcine-hOw that
for several years he had kept the larks
from pulling up his young corn by soak
ing the seed in Kerosene before it was
planted. A number of people who read
the article tried the experiment, and 1t is
amusing to hear the Returns as they come
in from the various precincts. One man,
in fact several, assert that sit is the very
idea" They think they have found the
remedy at last. Others say they can see
no difference-the larks pull both alike,
kerosene or no kerosene. One man asserts
that his kerosened corn was not pulled up
by the larks because the corn did not
come up. Another says the kerOsened
corn took tour days longer to come, but
when it did come the larks found out that
something "ailed'f ii and they pulled

Meaning of Many Words Now Filling tn,
Newspapers.


From Tie CAicago Inter- Ocean.
While Central Asian affairs occupy a
good deal of public attention, there will
be many queer names used in the tele-
grams and letters from Turkestan and
Afghanistan. Certain prefxes ana affixes
in the names of towns and rivers have
definite meanings more or less descriptive
of the places TO which they are applied.
"Ab," for instance, means water, as in
Pujab (that Is, "the five waters" refer
ring TO the five great rivers that ira
verse the northwestern province OF Him
doostan). or as in Hurri-ab the water
Of the "Huris") or as in Surkh-ab the
''red water" j and 50 on.
"Koh' is a mountain, as in Safeydkoh,
(the 'white mountain)," Koh-i-Baba
1.-THE mountains OF Bahia or Baber), or as
in Hindoo Koosh (the Hlndostanee noun
tain). "Abad'' as a terminal always
denotes a city, as Allababad (the "city
Of Allab,") Ahmedabad the "clty Of
Ahmed,") Aurungabad (the "city OF
Aurungzebe,") and so forth. 'Safeyd"
Is white. ''siah" black, "surkh" red, 'nil"
blue, etc.
Then there are the numerals. such as
"papjp or ''pung" Give, 'char'' or 'cha-
har," Ttour,) etc, all Of which are des-
criptive Of certain characteristics of the
place 10 the names OF which they are at
tached. "Panjdehv is an example. for as
"deh" means village and 'panj" Eve,
as already explained, the name Of the
place signifies collection Of five Turko-
man villages. Wherever "Kotul" occurs
1t signifies simply a pass over mountain
spur. For Instance. the first victory Gen.
Roberts won in Afghanistan was at the
Paiwar Kotul, the pass Of the Paiwar,
1900 feet high.

Fairburn NeloS. Two little boys of Mr..
u. w. Oxford, of Goods district, this
county, while playing in the yard Sunday
morning, were bitten by strange dog,
supposed to be mad. One received only a
scratch, while the other was severely
bitten on the leg. The father brought
them to Fairburn on Monday to DIR. It'd
well, who has the famous Patton mad
stone. He applied it to the leg of the one
bitten the worse, and it took
firm hold and remained nine hours
before dropping off. On Tuesday he
again applied it, and it remained nearly
all day. This mad stone is something re-
markable. 1t resem bles a small butter
bean, and is the color of ceiling wax; is
hard in its natural state, but after being
soaked in warm milk becomes porous
and spongy. When applied to an ordi-
nary wound or sore it will not adhere,
but when applied to the bite of rabid
dog 1t sticks like thing OF life.
DIR. Henry Briggs who died suddenly at
his home in Brooks county on Wednes-
day afternoon last, landed in Darien on a
sailing vessel from Connecticut about the
year 1888 with his wife, their son Henry,
and Albert Converse, his wlfe's son by a
former husband. The children were very
small and the doctor was in very limited
circumstances. He had graduated at
medicine, but he was too poor
to give himself such a start as he
desired, so he hired himself to a
DIR. Perry whom he met in Darien to run
little mill in Tatnall county. A rude
cabin was constructed for DR.. Briggs at
the mill, into which he moved, and IN
which James Briggs, who died Colonel
in the late war, was born. DR.. Perry did
not know that his miller was also a
physician. During the first summer a
malignant type or typhoid fever
broke out in the neighborhOod and DIR.
Perry was having very bad luck with
it. One dav when he was complaining Of
the mortality among his patients, DIR.
Briggs remarked that if he were a doctor
he would treat such cases so-and-so. DR..
Perry was struck at once with his re-
marks, and after some further cOnsulta-
ton he invited Dr. Briggs to visit some of
his patients with him. In one day they
saw quite number, and all were put
upon another treatment. In few days
they all began to improve, and
in two weeks they were all well.
DR.. Perry went to DR.. Briggs cabin
and said: "LOOk here, Briggs, you take
the saddlebags and let me run the mill.'
1t soon transpired that his miller was a
good physician, with proper license to
practice, ETC., and DR.. Perry sJaked his
new friend and sent him out to LOwndes
to practice, and he settled in old Troup-
vile. From that day until the day he
retired from the practice DR.. Briggs en-
joyed a great practice and a reputation
which no physician has enjoyed in South
ern Georgia.
