What the Editor gets.

When a child is born into the
world, the doctor is on hand and

pected to announce the arrival of
the little stranger and to know in

girl and what a cussin' he gets if
he makes a mistake in the sex.
Time rolls on and the child has
become a man. The day has ar
rived on which he takes unto him.

a round of criticisms, especially if
by the omission of one letter the
aisle of the church is converted
into a strip of land surrounded by

The years still roll on, and the

expected to exercise his fertile

Hon. I'll. r. Hinkle.

One of the saddest deaths that
has occurred within our midst,
was that of Hon. III. R. Hinkle, at
his home near Savannah, on the
night of the 22nd. He was strick-
en- with apoplexy, and lived only a
few minutes after the attack.
Only last week we announced
the return of Mr.. Hinkle and his
new wife. She was made widow
in eight short days from the time
she became a bride. We under
stand that Mrs. Hinkle will remain
in her new home and take upon
herself the care of the orphan
children.

aeronauts. Forty years ago Professor Wise
conceived it, but never carried it out.

ious 20 undertake it. lie has been prom

ing to from $4,000 TO So, 600. The time he
proposes for his voyage is next August.
The balloon needed should, he thinks, have
a capacity Of from 100000 TO 100000 cubic
feet and be filed with hydrogen. 1t should.
in his opinion, have two cars one for pas
sengers near the balloon and one twenty
feet lower for provisions The idea has
been heretofore that a voyage Of this kind
should be taken at height Of 80 miles
Professor King believes that a height Of
1000 or ], 200 feet would be preferable. The
balloon would then strike a current Of air
and be blown across the ocean.
