The Atlanta Constitution of Saturday
announces that the Louisville & Nash
vile Railroad cOmpay has secured a
lease on the Western & Atlantic railroad
from its owner, the state of Georgia, for
a term of twenty-nine years, the con-
sideration being $50, 900 a month, cash.
This is the most important railroad
Gss.l that has been made in the south for
a long time. The w. & A. belongs to
the state Of Georgia-was built by the
state forty years ago as an outlet for the
state north, and was for many years the
only line of road that crossed the
Appalachian chain of mountains in that
part of the country, connecting at
Chattanooga with the Nashville &
Chattanooga road, and now part of the
L. & n. system. The new acquisition
gives the L. & II. a direct connection with
the Atlantic seabOard at Brunswick and
Savannah, Ga, and Charleston, S. c..
The Western & Atlantic, besides being
a reliable source Of a liberal revenue to
the state, the rental for the past twenty
five years being $685. a month, has
also yielded very large profit to its
lessees. Senator Brown of that state
who is a millionaire several times over,
is largely indebted to the earning
capacity of the w. & A. for his great
wealth

The Chicago Tribune asks editorially
"Where are the aies?" and states that
there are none in the city. From the
fuss Kansas City has been making for a
week past over the census taking, it is
presumable that the pesky little insects
have congregated there. The announce
ment of the count there will probably
disclose whether or not the presumption
is such, merely.

It is estimated that the regular insur-

disburse during 1890 the sum Of $S3. 000,-
600 in death, endowment and dividend

gives a larger. direct return than any
other and is, therefore, something Of a
blessing in disguise.

One city has at last been found that
has no complaint to make of the census
enumerators. The Constitution says:
The report which Atlanta will send in
will be full and satisfactory" There
were two other cities where the count
would have been satisfactory if the CEN
sus bureau had not caught on to the
methods employed in getting the names
and locations of the enumerated. The
Twin Cities to the north aren't saying any
thing since the expose but Of course they
will not be satisfied now. 1t is hoped
the Gate City's satisfaction does not re-
suit from similar practices down there.

Beginning Anew.

Every day is fresh beginning,
Every morn is the world made new.
Yopixho are weary of sorrow and SHINING,
Here is beautiful hope for you
A hope for me and hope for you.
All the past things are past and over;
The tasks are done and the tears are shed.
Yesterdays errors let yesterday. cover:
Yesterdays wounds, which smarted and
bled,
Are healed with the healing which night
has shed.
Yesterday now is part Of forever.
Bound up in a sheaf, which God holds
tight,
With glad days, and sad days, and bad days,
which never
Shall visit us more with their bloom and
their blight,
Their fullness of sunshine or sorrowful
night.
Every day is fresh beginning;
Listen. my soul, to the glad refrain,
And, spite of old sorrow, and older sin
ming,
And puzzles forecasted az ossible pain,
Take heart with the day, and begin again.
