The old fashioned burglar still lives.
The kind who persuaded one of a
prominent firm in this city few days
ago to sit down and watch the inter-
esting process of seeing his safe open
ed in an illegitimate way. He ought
to be thankful that he was not asked
to assist in the exercises. They have
placarded that depository in this
wise, "This safe is not locked" which
is very thoughtful and eonsiderate of
them, and will doubtless save the flu
ture burglar lots of unnecessary
trouble.

Hasty Marriages.

Macon Telegraph.
II had rather be in the hands
of God than in my own hands" "
wrote young Western girl after
a few months Of married life.
They found her dead with her
throat cut
The girl was the daughter Of
wealthy parents. The man she
married was not acceptable to
them and she ran away with him.
The judgement of the older
heads proved correct. The TO-
nance wore off in a few months.
Her husband began to come home
drunk, and finally he deserted her
entirely, leaving her in want and
misery. Her despairing cry adds
one more to the many warnings
that have come back from unduti-
full daughters. Marriage without
love is not to be advocated, but
marriage without other Judgement
than a school girl can exercise is
not to be thought of.
