Saturday night in Banks count

Saturday night in Banks county
Squire Cristler was called upon to
join couple together in the holy
bonds of matrimony. Getting to
the river, he found it impossible to
cross. Determining not to be dis
appointed, he summoned the couple
to the water edge, on the other side
of the stream, and having the groom
to tie rock to the license and pitch
her over, some so yards, he proceeded
to tie the knot at the top of his voice

The Washington correspondent of
the Atlanta Constitution says Mr..
Cleveland has engaged rooms at the
Arlington, to be ready on March I'd.
cleveland will pay as he goes, hay
ing declined all tenders of hospitali-
ty, even those from several wealthy
citizens, who expressed desire to
entertain him." The above shows
that Mr.. Cleveland has adopted Ben.
Franklin's maxim, "Pay as you 20. :"
Our newly elected President has set
a good example to the country. There
are too many public men who dead
beat the public because they occupy
some prominent place. "Pay as you
go" is good motto, and if you can't
pay, don't 20.

A Boston man had to pay his rail-
road fare twice to the conductor. The
conductor subsequently discovering
his mistake, returned him the fare,
but the Boston man refused to settle
unless the conductor paid him 800.
Rather than lose his place the con-
ductor did so. The Boston mans
scheme of Matchmaking the conduc-
tor is ingenious, and worthy of the
famous Boston intellect. But it also
shows that when q man runs to in
tellect he may have very little soul.

A drummer for one of the largest
liquor houses in the South tells the
Athens Banner that, ''The temper
ance wave that is sweeping over Geor-
gia is death to the liquor business.
You may take any wholesale liquor
dealer in Georgia, and he will tell you
that his business is not onehalf what
it was few years ago. l shall go
into something else as soon as | can. -
He says the extent of the jug bust
ness in prohibition counties is greatly
exaggerated.

The California Republicans who
have made such boasts of their oppo-
sition to monopolists have elected to
the United States Senate the biggest
monopolist on the Pacific coast, ex-
Gov. Stanford, than whom, indeed,
there are probably but two wealthier
men in the United States, Gould and
Vanderbilt. Gov. Stanford is the
man who paid $4,000 for the flowers
used at the funeral of his sixteen
year-old son, and who paid $4,000
to DR.. Newman for preaching the
funeral sermon.

The late millionaire Spectator,
James r. Keene, who year or two
ago was able to raise or lower the
price which every family in the land
had to pay for breadstuffs, is now a
bankrupt. His last horse was sold
for debt few days ago. His ca
reer ought to be a lesson to all men
especially to all young men-who
aspire to realize fortunes by gamb-
ling methods.

ARGUMENT AGAINST CONCEALED
WEAPONs.-William H. Stephens, a
young man living in the third district
of Dooly county, left Hawkinville on
Thursday evening last. 1t was cold
day and he thought little whiskey
would help his feelings. He bought
some, and on the way home he took a
few drinks, He arrived at the home
of his brother Richard 0. Stephens,
and in attempting to remove a pistol
from his inside coat pocket, the wea-
pom fell to the floor and was discharg-
ed, ball passing through his lett arm,
between the elbow and wrist. Rich
ard went after DIR. Johnson and the
ball and a portion of the bone were
extracted. The ball in coming in con-
tact with the bone, split in two pieces
and the bone was fractured and a
piece about two inches long was taken
out.-Hda0kinsuiUe Dispatch.

The Virginia oyster navy has cap
tured fourteen more vessels supposed
to be engaged in unlawful dredging,
but nine of them were released for
want of proof. Virginia oyster laws
seem to have an enormous loophole
for so many schooners to sail through
them in bunch.

Chinese Soldiery.

1t will need many more than
ffty-fve German drill sergents to
bring the chinese soldiers mp to
a condition to offer, man for
man, effective resistance to the
French army. And even in the
mere matter of marching and
handling arms, if their ~instruc-
tors were to be of material use
to the Chinese, their services
should have been sought a num-
Der of years ago. In all wars,
a great deal has depended upon
the relative material resources
of the contestants, upon the
mind of those in command, and
upon the intelligence and moral
force of the individual soldiers.
In each of these particulars.
China is in every way inferior
to her opponent. With the pos
sible exception of Ii Hung, she
has no general who is in any
way worthy to be put in COM
mand of an army which has to
meet European soldiers. Her
material resources are in every
way weaker than those of
aud, except that many
of her people entertain a fanati-
cal hatred for foreigners, there
is not the least incentive for
them to fight against the French.
Certainly they do not possess,
and could not now until after
many years of training obtain.
that highest of all military vir-
tues, the ability to endure de-
feat without decentralization.

A Suggestive Symbol.
[Siftinga.1

A man from Texas, who was
travelling through the North,
noticed that the usual sign over
the doors of savings banks was a
beehive.
us a beehive the regular sign
of a savings bankT asked the
stranger, Of native whose &C
quaintance he had made.
"Yes," was the reply ; "moat
of the savings banks have the
beehive for a sign on account
of its appropriateness. The de-
positorB, of course, are the bees.
They are off at work collecting
honey, which they deposit IN the
hive for their use in winter. The
owner of the hive is, Of course,
the president of the savings
bank. When there is as much
honey in the bank as he needs,
he robs the hive and skips out
for Canada with all the availa-
BILE assets. The bees, or depos-
itors, buzz around a good deal,
but most of them starve and
freeze to death during the win
ter.
"But who are the drones 2"
They are the clerks, who are
relatives Of the President or di-
rectors, who draw big salaries,
but never do much work"
"Who is the queen bee Z"
"Oh, she is the female friend
of the president of the bank,
and usually accompanies him
to Canada. So now you IN
derstand the appropriateness OF
the average savings bank"
