GEORGETOWN, Jan. 4-Things are
now falling back into the usual routine,

ties The holidays in Georgetown have
been unusually lively.
On New Years night there were two
parties and hop. A phantom party was
given by part Of the young men Of this
town in NAPLES hail. while the other
part gave a hop in the town hall. 1t was
very warm night for the time of the
year and palm leaf fans were in great de-
mand. One stylish young man, stranger
IN full dress suit. in his search fer a
palm leaf fan walked unceremoniously
into the sitting room of a private
house and asked the family
Have you any palm.leaf fans
to sell2" On being told no, he asked If
an old one could be either given or sold
to him. Observing his exhausted ap-
pearance, the lady Of the house kindly
gave him fan. which afterward proved
to be a relic Of q summer Irritation, in.
dulged in by young lady who does not
live far from this town Much sorrow
was expressed at the loss of the fan, not
for the intrinsic value, but because OF
certain magical letters written thereon.
Every one in town is aware that the
new school bell is here, for 1t is runP
twelve times regularly every day. The
tones .of ythe bell were longed for, but
now they are not.

THE Morning News is In an agony Of
doubt as TO whether President Harrison
said that Mrs. Mckee should standin line
at the White House reception even If it
''busted the Cabinet The News urges
that President Harrison could not have
said this because he has never been
accused Of being coarse or ungrammati-
cal He has been accused Of SO many
graver faults that nobody has thought Of
accusing him OF the minor faults The
News must admit the mild criticism that
il is not refined for President Harrison to
keep his family In such prominence; that
it was not refined to put Mrs. Mckee
who has no official position. ahead OF
ladies who have semi-oificial position.

A CURIOUS story, showing the futility Of
Imprisonment 70 reform criminal comes
from Indiana John Hicks was permitted
TO leave the Jacksonville penitentiAry, q
few days ago on the promise Of reform.
he is eightyfour years of age and has
been in the penitentiary for forty years
In al, he has served eight terms. two Of
which have been for ASSEMBLING women
and the others for theft. He has always
been good convict, and has had the adj
vantage Of good time" besides being
pardoned twice after serving portions Of
his sentences. He twice committed rob
berries simply to get back to shelter and
once tried to get the directors to let him
stay when the sentence had expired.
They refused and he told them he would
be back In few days He kept his
word, stealing q horse to be returned.
1t is by no means rare thing that men
prefer to live in the state penitentiaries,
and commit crimes for the purpose OF
obtaining term. There are many noto-
rious negro criminals who make regular
attempts to obtain winter quarters in
the prisons. In view Of these facts it
seems probable that other states
win be compelled to adopt Delsware's
mode Of punishment tor petty crimes
Thus they may protect the state against
zh increasing class Of criminals who
prs determined to make the people sup
port them al also prevent the crime.

terizes the Harrison family. themother of
Baby Mckee, "stood at the head OF the

courtesy and the supreme consideration
for the feelings and rights Of others

Baltimore Sun.
The fact that we built only 5000 miles
of railroad ia 1889, against ., 900 in 1888
and 10, 900 the year before. does not this
time indicate decline of industrial and
commercial activity. Railroad traffic
was never more active than now IL in,
dicates mercy the completion of pro-
grams formed at the beginning of the
business boom several years ago and
preparation for new programs With
over 100, 1000 miles OF railway, we may
consider ourselves fairly well provided
for at present. 1t Is gratifying to note
that of the 9. 600 miles built IN 1889 some
1900 were Ia the South. Many parts of
that section are still lacking in transpor-
tation facilities The prosperity enjoyed
by existing systems In the South shows
that for some time to come money put
into railroad construction there will
pay good returns.

With large capital and good waiting
ability, it will pay many persons, un-
doubtedly, TO invest in farm lands In all

An appreciation in values will occur no
doubt, from the present low prices But
for q man to buy farm upon mortage
and expect to clear it, besides making a
living, through his own efforts, is an ex-
tremel uphill task, and the more land
he has, under those conditions, the worse
