WY THIS DIFFERENCE.

Mr.. Harrison has gone out and Mr.
Cleveland has come in. The former has
made decent neutrality-suspicious. Meth
~er very good nor very bad, just mod
crate. He will never be called back.
When Mr.. Cleveland went out fonr
wears ago the case went very different.
The nation knew an extraordinary man
had laid do 1n office, and everybody felt
he must come back one day or another,
says the Madisonan.
What explains this difference?
1t is not explained by MI. Cleveland's
superior culture Mr.. Harrison is mani
fesdy more cultured man than he.
Nor does superior native ability ex-
plain it. While Mr. Cleveland is a man
of mental breadth and intellectual vigor
so is NJ. Harrison-perhaps the equal OF
Mr.. Cleveland in native endowments.
The President has no war record, as
General Grant had, to make him the idol
of the people Mr.. Harrison rose to the
rauk of a bugadier in the army.
Mr Cleveland has no long congrossion-
al career back of him 10y which to have
bound influential friends from every part
of the country to him, as Mr.. Blaine had.
Mr.. Harrison served a term in the Sen
ate
Nr. Cleveland has no family prestige
SO commend him to popular favor. Nh
Harrison springs from an ancestral line
and bears an ancestral name around
which popular support might be easily
rallied.
Why then do we find Mr.. Harrison 60
8ng out to stay out and falI into national
forgetfulness, and Nj. Cleveland coming
an the second time amid The acclamations
Of all the people?
Simply because the man has positive
convictions and personal integrity. The
people believe in his character as they
have not believed in any president since
the war. And they give him SO high a
place because of their faith in his truth
fuIness, honesty and courage.
He will not be called to third term,
for that is un-America9. Four years
hence Gf he lives, and may God preserve
him) he will 60 out of office the most be
loved and reyered American If his gem
Grafton.
His career is full of instruction and
inspiration to the young men of the coun-
Try. 1t teaches them that virtue at last
is she best thing that honesty can win in
politics. 1t teaches that if man has
extraordinary courage and sincerity,
these qualities are sufficient, even if he
have only ordinary intellectual endow
ments, to raise him to the highest point
of usefulness and popularity. 1t teach
,es them that the greatest and most in
dTicate problems of statecraft can be
understood, if one brings to the task
downright honesty of purpose and gen
ufne love of the truth. 1t teaches them,
in short, that character is the main thing
and there is Dothing better for any man
10 desire than yirtue-ex extraordinary, not
average, virtue.

In Memory of Brother W. f. Heisler.

While we have cause for deep graft
tude to God for so wonderfully preserv-

In the death of brother Heisler the
church has sustained the loss of an hum

country the loss of an upright and honest
citizen, and his family kind and deyot-

grace to bear Eis departure from us, and
may the lived ones he has left behind
ever have the sustaining help and com

Persons and Things in Georgia.

- Watermelon planting is occupying
the time of the farmers in Lee county
- The Americas Times Recorder has
nearly five columns Of city marshall sales
advertised for April. This is not a very
good showing COR city the size of
Americas,
Barlow county proposes to have
good roads, her commissioners having
d clded to work the county's convicts in
the chain gang for that purpose, in ac-
cordance with a recent grand jury rec
ommendation. This is a step IN the
right direction.

a calculation as to tie number of offices
Georgia is entitled to, and finds that by
just rights 2, Ats federal offices shold fall
to her share. Well, now, just hand 'em
out to the boys, Mr.. Cleveland, for they
are all anxiOusly waiting.
- The editor of Georgia paper says
that paper money is full of bacteria and
disease germs. Atlatest accounts the ed
itor himself was in fine health. He says
it is unnecessary for him to quarantine
his Office against paper money. His sub
scribers protect him amply in that re-
spect.
Ex-Congessman Blount, of Georgia,
who, during his term of service, was
chairman of the Houe committee of for
| eign affairs, has been given the position
of confidential agent of the government.
His salary will be $4,000 year with all
expenses paid BY the government.
A Georgia man, Mr.. D. B. Wood,
ruff, wants to be Superintendent of the
Mint. He has filed his application in the
Treasury Department. Is this our es-
teemad floral friend at Macon? He is
doubtless familiar with the peculiarities
and virtues of the mint of the Georgia
variety, but the Macon man who under
stood it best has been gathered to his
fathers.
- Last fall Bolivar H. Ray, a cotton
warehouseman, and L. w. Smith, far
mer, matched dollars at Knoxville, Craw-
fordcounty. Smith dropped $500. The two
men were fined $3.50 for gambling. Short
ly afterward Smiths brother, claim
ing that the lost money had been borrow
ed from him, sued for It's recovery.
Thursday the case came up for hear
ing before Judge Ross in the city court
at Macon AMI WAS nonsuited.
j. E. Maddox, of Rockdale county.
has recently set out 5000 grape vines and
thinks he may, perhaps, set out 5000
more. He says that two bottles of wine
came with the vines, and that if the
vines he sets out makes such wine as
that they will be first-class.
- Some of the most intelligent people
of Albany are in accord with Prof. Tot
ten in his prophecies relating to the pres
ent era as the beginning of the Sabbath
of the world-that the millennium is up

in Albany recently preached a sermon

The old guard and the ink singers
