Rev. II. a. Hodges preached a sermon atthc
Methodist church, taking for his theme, Hard
Times. their Cause and Remedy" He began
his discourse by saying that statistics showed
THAI tho crops Of last year were very large, and
that after allowing enough for home con9unp-
ton there IS still big surplus. a dollar has
as much purchasing power as at any time in
the history OF our government. He attributes
tho cause OF hard times to the extravaganza of
the people-those whose incomes are limited
trying to live like those who have an abuad-
ance. Debts arc incurred and they are unable
to meet them. Confidence is destroyed in bus
mess circles, which Is attributable to the vani-
ty of humanity.
The preacher stated that he was raised in a
Hardshell community where debt-paying was
the rule and not the exception, and lie believed
that if our people would practice this virtue OF
our primitive friends there would be less COM

statistics also showed that the people CT our

A GEORGIA MIXTURE.
The BilIyi,lo Banner.

we write these paragraphs from Chicago, where
we arrived three days ago, in company with
Vallse one shirt and a pair OF suspenders We
walked everything else clean off of us.
We write this from building thirteen stories
high. This shows how man can rise In the
world by industry and perseverance.
The citizens of Billville tarred and feathercd us
the night before we left, and now we're making
50 a week in dime museum as the living wild
man from the south.
We called on the mayor yesterday. He gave us
chair, $40 and thirty days. That made US feel at
home.
A private telegram from Billville informs US
that our wife has the sheriff on the run. If he
knows her as well as we do he'll keep three miles
ahead of her.
The Jail here Is well furnished. Three meals a
day and prayer meetin' on Sunday.
We met cur old friend, Colonel Jones, of Bill
vile, yesterday. He, too, is in the dime museum
business He goes duty every night as the
only colonel in Chicago
We don't expect to be home before next fall, ms
we've contracted to grade new rallroal for
free pass.
We left the west by telegraph last Nedne 'day
night, and here we are; but our wife lett three
days ago with new bonnet and four dollars. We
wouldn't call her back again!
The band met at the depot and played
Comm Through the Rye" Ten minutes later
we were swiggin' of the corn.
How a town grows up in q mans absence! The
Baptists have got steeple, and the Mcthodisfs
have snapped an old dictionary for new Bible.
We feel for Cleveland, because he's got family
to support, and lots of poor relations. But The
Banner is for Hill six days in the week, without
rest the seventh.
We will not enter the race for the legislature,
having resigned in favor OF our bro:her-in-law,
who has agreed to give us So day for staying
home.
There arc only six Cleveland men in Billvlle.
-Four arc on the jury, and the other two have got
the rheumatism and cam live long
An anonymous correspondent informs us that
we have run ont of soap" Wrong again! We
bought cake six months ago, and we've had it
ever since.

credit he had pursued a system of 'kiting his

aggregate amount Of these deposits. He further
alleges losses in betting on prize fights in
New Orleans, and at horse races, and
in the gambling bells of Now York,
but finally states the money lost in gaming has
nothing to do with the CASE rs no money now
sought was thus squandered. His 'kiting'
theory upon being probed is found, in many
respects, untrue and does not begin to ac-
count for the disposition of the money he had,

one hundred and twenty thousand dollars Con-

Who will be the next to get the offer OF the
presidency of the Richmond and DanFile and
Great Southern Railroad Company?
Albert Fink's decination has set railroad
,ner guessing again. 1t is understood that
$50, 900 year goes along with the offer There
was talk at first of getting man ior H-o,0oV,
but tbey cannot be picked up readily at that
price. Samuel Spencer gets that much salary
where he is with DreXel, Morgan q Co., and
he makes large sum outside.
General Sam Thomas may have to take the
nosition. He does not want to do it if he can
helm it, for he would rather be chairman of the
board of control. While General Thomas is a
great tinancier, he is also practical railroad
manager.
The Richmond and Danville pays liberal!
salaries to good men. For instance,
General Manager Green and Traffic
Manager Haas get something like $4,000
year each.
The presumption is that tho Olcott COM
mittee is simply waiting until president is
secured to make its report.
