FoR the decade l8s0-'90 the duel sta
tistics of Italy record for the entire king
dom 2,759 duels, most of them military.
The hotter the weather the more duels,
while in very cold winter spells the
figures tapered off. Thus seven eighths
of the whole number took place in sum-
mer and one-eighth in winter. Only fifty
deaths resulted out of all these duels,
ninety OF which were fought with the
sword. 2,4S0 with the saber, and the rest
with the pistol. Ordinary quarrels pro-
duced 7s0; press and political discus
sions 1922; love, 1873; religious ques-
lions, 20. Most of the duels took place
at Naples and the fewest at Venice.

EVIDENCES OF IMpROyEMENT.

While the busy hum of cities de-
note strongly the onward march of
progress in their limits the country
is not without its evidences Of i'm
proyement. New dwellings, new
churches and new school houses are
dotting the hillsides and valleys !;
improved methods in agriculture
have been instituted and every
thing points to brighter and most
prosperous future. The above from
a Georgia exchange, denotes the
true situation of affairs. Georgia is
going forward in general prosperity
and greatness. In Cobb county, the
farms are being put in better con.
dition, grasses and clover are being
more gradually cultivated, fine
blooded stock, of horses, cows and
hogs, are being introduced, better
and more comfortable homes are be-
ing built and arranged, and more
thrifty appearance seems to charac-
terize our farmers. Some of our
farmers of course are in debt, but
this debt is an incentive to exertion
and harder work, and they will pay
out and be that much the gamer.
Hard work, economy and saving
will prove the sure road 70 success
if pursued with diligence and wis
dom. And that is what our farmers
in Cobb are doing. The Alliance
as an organization is beneficial in
its results, and instructive in it's
purposes and teachings, and will ul-
timately lift the farmer on the high
road to prosperity.

C0WHIDED.

Hon. Phil W. Davis, member of
the Legislature from Ebert county,
was publicly cowhided on the streets
of Elberton, last week, by Mr. ]. Z.
Harper, editor of the Gazette, for
making improper advances to lady.
The citizens held meeting and
asked Mr.. Davis to resign his posi-
ton in the Legislature and leave
the county in six hours. He was
one of the ablest men In the State,
but his downfall has been brought
about by whisky. Another sad les
son for young men, and old ones
too, to learn and profit by. "Look
not upon the wine when it is red,
when it giveth its color in the cup,
for at last it biteth like serpent
and stingeth like an adder" 1t is
always source of deep pain to us
learn of a grand character tumbling
to ruin.

TRUE WORDS.

If our citizens would invest their
surplus money at home instead of
sending it to distant places, our
home enterprises would be made to
prosper and our town and county be
built up instead of laying behind as
they do. This custom our monied
men have Of looking abroad alto
gether for profitable fields in which
to invest their surplus is a great
mistake. There are a number of
ways which capital could be invest
ed right here at home very profta-
bly, to the owner and vastly so to
our section of the country; and
whatever tends to the upbuilding of
the section tends equally to the pros
perity OF those who live in it.-Fair-
burn News.
The above are proper words, and
are applicable to the majority of
towns. 1t is by united individual
effort, consolidation of capital, and
and investment at home, that we
can hope to attain that degree OF
prosperity, progress and growth as
will make eur town what she ought
to be and what her natural adyan-
tages entitle her to be. Marietta
is the "Gem City" of Georgia, and
her future is bright and hopeful,
but it can be darkened by inactivi-
ty and injudicious indifference. Let
us speak and work for our town at
all times and under all circumstan-
ces.

through j. Wyman Jones of New

ban places. Mr.. Jones is one of the
purchasers. The purpose OF the
gentlemen interested in the pur.
chase is not yet difnitely known
but it is generally understood that
the property is to be improved, laid
off into lots, handsome streets made,
and that Townsville will soon have
one OF the handsomest suburbs Of
any city in the union.
