Marriages IL Georgia.

There were 1880 marriages in Georgia
during 1889 The negroes show a greater
percentage Of marriages to their numbers
than the whites, though there is a greater
population Of whites, which runs their aggre.
gate lI6 above that Of the blacks. The mar.
riages OF either race increase in number nc.
cording to the density Of population; that is
in counties largely white there are more mar.
riages per thousand than in counties where
the other race predominates, and the same is
true Of the blacks
A difference in favor of the country dis.
tricts exists in matrimony. Among the ne.
groes in the black belt and especially along
the coast, where they live upon fish and pro.
ducts Of nature, it would appear as il there
were not l5-year-old female unmarried.
Inland the marriages are not so many, but
the number keeps up surprisingly. In the
turpentine country, where hundreds of ne
groes come from North Carolina, the mar
riages would indicate that the whole popula.
tion had gone out of single bliss. In North
Georgia, which is the center Of the white pop.
ulation, the marriages grow in number, but
on a conservative asis.-Memphis CONNER.

In is well for those persons on whom
party ties rest 50 lightly, and with whom
personal prejudice is SO all-powerful, to
consider calmly what they are likely to
gain by opposing the majority OF their
party. Heretofore such conduct has
brought disaster and chRgrin to honor
able men and has been Of little or no
practical benefit to the leaders Of
the movements OF course there
are those who can make it profitable to
themselves to betray their own party for
the benefit Of the opposite party after
having agreed upon stipulated price
OF treachery. Any party is always in
danger from such persons. II requires
care and tireiess vigilance to keep such
men out Of any party, Of every party.
This Is not the result of anything pecu-
liar to the particular party but of the
curious and wilfuI perversity, meannsss
and dishonesty Of some particular men.
It is necessary for every mar to
decide for himself his position ia

can be disbarred In this fair, free and
