Picnic and Fishing Party.

On Thursday morning Of last week a
number of the young ladies and geA tlemen
from til neighborhood, and some from a
distance e, met near Mt Meridian on fish
ing excursion, given i'll honor OF Miss
Opal Smith, a charming and intelligent
young lady from Griffin. Ga, who is visit

spite of the threatening weather in the
morning the day proved a favorable one
and was enjoyed to the utmost by all pres

at seasonable hour, and was not refused
by single member of the party. Fishing,

in the evening the party adjourned to meet
at Nh. A. II. Rollers. and spend the re-
maining hours of daylight in playing GRO

Bad Roads.

We understand that one of the greatest
drawbacks to the success of the Augusta
Creamery, is the very bad condition of the
crossroads in that section of the county
Particularly has complaint been made OF
the road leading from Spring Hill to the
Willow Spout. 1t is SO rough that is worth
the price of the milk to make the trip, land
some of the farmers in that vicinity are
prevented from patronizing the creamery
at all, in consequence of the difficulty OF
reaching it. With abundance of material
right on the line of the road, it looks al
most like indifference to see apublic high
way in such condition. We don't know
whether it is the fault of the authorities
or not, but certainly some one should be
held responsible, and some effort made to
apply the remedy. There is nothing SO
cheap in the long run as good roads, and if
our people would once reach to an appre-
citation of this fact. self-interest would
prompt them not to tolerate public thor
oughfare over which vehicles could not
pass without being smashed.

TIN ORE DIsCOvERY.-The tin ore that
is now being shipped East from the Black
Hills is looked upon as forerunner of an
important development of the mineral re-
sources of the country. All the other lead
ing metals in use in the civilized world
this country has an inexhaustible supply
of, but if tin is to be added to the number
it will materially increase economic indie
pendence 1t is claimed that this tin ore is
richer than that of Cornwall, Australia
or Eumatra, whence the supply has hith-
erto been mainly derived. 1t is stated that
there is practically no limit to the depos-
its. This country imported nearly So ,000,-
600 worth of block or pig tin last year, and
eyer ST., 000. 600 worth of tin plates or tag
aerS Nn.-BQt Sun.
There is a vast deposit of tin ore of the
finest quality nearer than the Black
BILLS. In Rockbridge county is a mine
that we trust and believe will be in extern
siye operation in short time. The ore is
there, and that too in great quantities, and
OF splendid quality. Ali that is needed is
fer our people to take hold of it and gath
or in the golden harvest. There will be
no need to go abroad or to the far West for
tin, for it lies here right in our midst.

Bath.Republicans.

The Republicans of Bath county bad q
rousing meeting on Tuesday of last week
at which delegates to the District Conven.
tion were appointed. In numbers and en-
thusiasm the meeting was in marked CON
trast to that held by the Democrats short
while ago. 1t was gathering of the sub
stantial working people OF the county, and
evidenced determination never before
shown by the voters of Bath. The speech
of Col. Mayo was an eloquent and ringing
presentation of the issues and a terrific
arraignment of Democratic faithlessness
and incompetency. The Republicans of
the 10th District mean business this fall,
and the fine meetings held in Allegheny
and Bath are but the preliminary manifes-
tation Of the spirit and determination that
animates them.

eight dogs was on hand, and four or five
huntsmen. This being the first day Of the
season when deer can be hunted, a lively

drive. This game is said to be abundant
in the surrounding mountains, and the
prospect is fair for a successful result.

Mr.. w. P. Leak and wife. and Miss
Smeads, of N. G. 1t is lively and agree
able company, each one seemingly bent on
making the most of his or her summer va
cation.
Last Friday evening, hastily impro-
vised game Of progressive euchre0 was
enjoyed. with Mr.. j. A. Kinsey. of Balti-
more, ~ master of ceremonies. 1t was
new to all of the participants, numbering
about twenty ladies and gentleman, but
they soon caught the run of the game and
manifested lively interest in its pro-
gress. At the close of the two hours
contest it was found that four ladies
had each won eight games, the high
est scored, and that the prize to be
awarded to the best player had to be de-
cided by lot. The four ladies, Mrs.
Vashor, Mrs. Hughes, Mrs. Werth and
Miss Peyton, whose honors as players were
equal, drew for the prize, and it was won
by Mrs. Hughes. Of Richmond. The BOBBY
prize-that is. the prize to the worst play
er, was awarded to gentleman very pop
ular at the Springs, but when Mrs. Cooke
mounted the table to announce the sucs
cessful competitors, the latter winner was
conveniently absent, the room having be-
come too warm at that particular moment
for him to enjoy the huge ginger cake that
had been allotted him as the worst player.
Consequently, like the Arab, he folded
his tent and quietly left.
1t was an innocent and pleasant diver
sion for several hours, and all seemed to
enjoy it. What there is in progressive

THE DIVORCE REFORM.

The whirligig of time has at last brought
us around to point where the courts are
disposed to protect browbeaten and hem
pecked husbands from domineering wives.
A Minneapolis woman, who sued for d.
vorce on the ground that her husband was
in the habit of drinking whisky and slapping
her face, had her petition denied by the
court because it appeared from testimony
that the woman was in the habit of taking
swig herself occasionally and subjecting
the old man to the rule of the broOmstick.
There is usually so much nonsensical SEN
timentality in the decision of the average
divorce case that it is absolutely refreshing
to find judge who will apply the
ordinary rules Of common sense in
deciding suit of this kind. Now
that the sanction of judicial decision has
been given to the fact that woman who
makes an assault on her husband and gets
lieked is. compelled to abide the conse-
quences OF her own rashness, domestic hap
piRess will take an upward boom. Poor
cOwed, 'brow-beaten husbands will have a
chance to hold up their heads and assume
an air of independent superiority once more.
When tongue-lashing, over-bearing women
once understand that the country will no
longer uphold them in their tyranny they
will become sweeter-tempered and less dis
posed to raise Old Harry on the slightest
prOvocation. The clouds are rifting and
the sunlight is beginning to shine in upon
the homes of the land. Our civilization is
advancing and will advance until men are
finally brought up on an equality with
women.

THE CITY,s CREDIT.

1t is all right. We mean the city's
credit. 1t must be just as good as old No.
hard wheat in the mill when a batch OF
s275, 900 bonds bearing interest at ~ per
cent. sell at a premium of nearly AZ per
cent. and that, too, after spirited bidding
in which nearly all of the many bids that
were made were within a close margin of
the successful bid. This is done, too, in
face of the fact that the attention of the
city is now being directed almost exclu-
sively to preparation for the greatest carni-
val show of earth, and has no time to
drum up bidders for its bonds. This
high premium has been obtained, too,
in opposition to the Republican press
of the city which has sought to Gre
ate the impression abroad that st. Paul was
ring-ridden city and the seat Of all man
ner of corruption. That this extraordinary
high premium has been obtained on such a
large batch of bonds at one bidding is evil
dence Of the soliditv and stability of the
city's credit, The only danger that our
city government will have to guard against
in the future, is the temptation to avail it
self of the high credit the city sustains to
be extravagant in borrowing money for
future improvements. st. Paul securities
are so much sought after by money invest
Ors that efforts will be made to get the city
to put bonds on the market when often no
necessity will exist for it. 1t is just as i'm
portant to economic municipal credit as il
is to be saving with the cash in the treasury.

A ANN MOVE.

The resolution adopted by the ice carni-
val association last night to make the
winter carnival permanent ST. Paul insti-
tuition was as wise as It was appropriate.
The present enterprise was an experiment,
but we have gone far enough to know that
it is TO be a magnificent success. Now that
st. Paul has established the prestige of
being the winter carnival city Of the United
States it is eminently proper that it should
hold it, and it is only in keeping with the
enterprise of our people that this prestige
shall be maintained. The resolution adopted
by the association last evening voices
the sentiment Of ali of our people. St Paul
enjoys an advantage as an ice carnival city
over any other city in the United States. In
addition to its typographical features and
climatic conditions it enjoys the advantage
of being the railway center of the North
west and consequently more accessible
than any other point where ice carnival
sports could be held. Sopronounced are the
advantages that st. Paul enjoys in this re-
spect that as long as its enterprising people
express the determination to perpetuate the
carnival no other city will venture to enter
into competition with it.

AN OMNIBUS PROPosITIoN.

The senate is again bringing the Dakota
admission question into prominence and it
is likely to occupy public attention more or
less during the remainder of this session of
congress. 1t is curious to observe how
many different views relating TO this mat
ter prevail in the minds of our public men.
The speeches of Senators HARRISON and
BUTLER show plain enough what they think
of it. Senator VOORHEES, is reported as
saying that the best arrangement that can
be made is TO admit Dakota. Montana and
Washington together The Omaha Herald
Endorses Senator VOORHEES, and proposes
to amend his proposition by including Utah
in the list of territories to be adj
mitted. As the Herald says, Utah
contains more people than any other territory
in the Union, polvgamists not counted i'm.
According to our Omaha contemporary
statehood is the solution of the Mormon
problem in Utah. 1t says:
Let congress pass an enabling act to author
lie the people of Utah to frame q constitu-
ton, republican in FORM" with the funda-
mental condition that polygamy shall be
abolished forever in the new state, reputable
Gentiles and non-polygamous Mormons unit
ing to frame such a constitution. with the
silent assent of President Taylor. Georre O.
Cannon and the heads Of the church OF Latter
Day saints. Admit the territory Ia pair with
Dakota, or in double pair with that and other
territories. This Is true policy OF a wise and
