A New Trustee at the Hospital.

Hon. George Z. Weeks, who has been APP
pointed trustee of the Insane Hospital, fills
the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr..
Marley. In December, 1886, Mr.. Manley
rendered his resignation as a trustee of the
Hospital, as will be seen by his letter, which
is given below. No official action was ever
taken upon this resignation, and after the
adjournment of the legislature Mr.. Manley
occasionally acted with the Trustees. Gov
ernor Marble, few weeks ago, had a con-
sultation with Mr.. Manley in reference to his
status as a trustee. The Governor then raised
the question that his acceptance of the Office
of repre- sentative was in itself a resignation
as trustee and he offered to submit the case
to the Attorney General for his decision.
Mr.. Manley would not consent to this, and
informed the Governor that he had never
drawn compensation as trustee since Deem
Der 3lst, 1886 that he was satisfied, upon his
attention being called to a decision of the
court, that his acceptance of the office of rep
resentative was in itself resignation of the
office of trustee.

Messrs Lee and Shepard have just issued
neat little text book by John p. Payson in
titled Elements of Practical Arithmetic, con
tanning exercises for class drill both oral and
written This work deals with the problems
of elementary mathematical education in a
most practical and clear sighted manner.
The book is evidently the result of long ex-
perience in the class room and therefore well
adopted to the needs of the class of pupils
for whom it is intended The book meets a
want of progressive education inasmuch as
il is in the truest sense practical rather than
theoretical We would earnestly call the at

English landlordism in Ireland occasionally

Colonel Luther j. Glenn was the first com
mander of the post here. after the confederatcs
reoccupied the place. lie was instructed to
arrest many of the citizens who had remained
during Shermans stay. and send them to
Macon 10 be tried for reasonable conduct. The
order under which he acted left him no dis
cretion. lie had to execute it, and in some
cases there was "a feeling Of resentment on the
part Of those arrested that lasted for years.
Ono OF tho citizens treated in this
way was an old and popular
Atlanta man, Mr.. James Mcpherson, at zone
time leading bookseller. Mr. sNcPher5on
found himself without means when the feder-
ais entered the town, and in order to support
himself accepted bookkeeper's place in one
Of the army departments. When his case came
before Judge Lochrane in Macon, the judge
ordered the prisoners release, saying in effect
that it was no crime for those who remained in
a city abandoned by the confcderates to earn
an honest living, and if their necessities COM
PEELED them to work for the invaders it was all
right. This decision had SO much justice and
common sense in it that it gave genera salts
faction, and settled what had threatened to BIO
troublesome question.
One officer in Shermans army was a pcrpct-
ual puzzle to the negroes This was General
jeff Davis. IL had taken about four years to
teach the average darby that JEFF Davis was
the resident of the confederacy, and when
JEFF Davis came along in blue uniform the
negroes began to think that the world was
coming to an end.
Among those who remained in Atlanta after
the confederates marched out was a sixteen
ycar-old boy, an orphan, withonti any relatives
or friends to take care Of him One dark,
rainy night he pulled drunken federal sutler
Of the railroad track just in time To save him
from being run over By train The man was
half Bobered by his escape, and was proiuse in
his thanks. A. he started off the boy handed
him big pocketboOk.
"You dropped this, D." he said.
The suffer seized IL and counted the contents
under a street lamp.
"Hcrel" he said, thrusting roll into tho
hand Of his preseryer, "Take it. It's just half
Of what I've got, but It's all right" and he
walked away in the darkness
The lad counted the money. 1t was an oven
$1,000
He left next day for tho west, and was never
heard from afterwards. Perhaps the suffers
gift was the foundation OF fortune Perhaps
II was squandcred In dissipation 1t would DO

A Town Clock.

Visitors from the east or other sec.

where is your town clock?" "Why
don't you have town clock?" "That's
fine school house you have up
there. What a slightly location.
What splendid place for a town
clock; it could be seen and heard all
over the city" While the location is
matter Of secondary Importance, it
will not be denied that a town clock
would be a great convenience to our
citizens in many ways. Not the least
OF which would be a generally recog-
nized standard of time, which would
save much of the confusion and mis-
understanding which arises from the
fact that there are several different
standards of time, the choice of
which is a matter of individual taste.
There are many whe have expressed
their willingness to subscribe liber-
ally for the purpose of having relia.

ment and a public convenience.

Since the resignation of Sheriff
Ross last Saturday, and the appoint
ment of Harry Smidt to fill the va
cancy in the sheriff's Office, there has
been a good deal of comment favor
able and otherwise on the action of
county commissioner F. W. Smith,
who refused to vote "no' with COM
missioner Nurnberg, the other Re-
publican member of the county court,
on the appointment of Smidt as sher-
i'll. Complaint is not caused by any
ill will or distrust of Mr.. Smidt, but
it is because those who worked for
and helped commissioner Smith to
his title and station felt that they
should not have been ignored entire
ly in a matter Of such importance as
the appointment of a sheriff. But
commissioner Smith evidently
thought he knew what was proper for
him to do without taking the trouble
to consult the wishes of those who
had trustingly given support to him
as their representative.

An Explanation.

What is this nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be az
flicted? If you will remember a few
years ago the word Malaria was com.
paratively unknown.-to-day it is as
common as any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only
the meaning of another word used by
our forefathers in times past. So il
is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what
our grandfathers called Billiousness,
and all are caused by troubles that
arise from a diseased condition of the
Liver which in performing its func.
tions finding it cannot dispose of the
BILE through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the
system, causing nervous troubles
Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You
who are suffering can well appreciate
a cure. We recommend Green's An.
gust Flower: Its cures are mar
velous.
