President Waddell wants to rotate
the state fair.
We love good wines but excuse us
from Atlanta's favorite Redwine.
The lessons of Atlanta's week of hor-
rer are to be perverted into foundation
for Sam Jones revival.
-"donest Jack JONES'" as he was
called, former state treasurer of Georgia,
died in Milledgeville on Tuesday.
A great many northern people who
spend the winter in ThOmasville carry
their horses and coachmen with them.
1t is SAID that good many swell
young men in Atlanta are shaking in
their boots over expected revelations in
the Redwine case.
Over hundred sheep were killed in
Thomas county in few days by dogs.
Let the question before the next legisla-
be dogs or mutton.
An old negro in Hancock county is
said to be the father of eighty-two chill
dren. This removes the last vestige of
doubt that Georgia is the empire state
of the south.
The Quitman Sun has suspended.
The great trouble about Georgia journal
ism is that too many efforts are being
made to publish four-horse papers in
one-hOrse towns.
Commissioner Nesbitt, of the agri-
cultural department, has issued his
monthly talk with the farmers. This
months talk is on the same line with
previous ones, advising the farmers in
strong language to reduce their cotton
acreage below last years production. A
letter is quoted from the commissioner
of agriculture of Texas, showing strong
movement in that state toward reduc-
ton of the acreage.
"A young girl in north Georgia
county who, by her own efforts, made

Senator Colquitt, of Georgia, was
wheeled into the Senate Chamber today
in an invalid's chair and lifted into his
seat. He looked wan and helpless, al
though his eyes were bright and his
manner cheerful. His whole right side is
paralyzed, and his right hand lay use
less IN his lap. Senators on both sides of
the chamber gave him an exceedingly
cordial greeting. Mr. Morton left the

A republican Journal comments upon
the fact that the cabinet officers selected
by Mr.. Cleveland, with one OF two ex.
cepuons, ARE all poor men,

DIR. MARY WALKER, who recently eel
ebrdted the 25th anniversary of her eman-
cipation front petticoats, has joined the
anti-hoopskirt crusaders. She has never
worn either a hoopskirt or a corset, but
has tried them on "just too see how they
feel" so she knows what she is talking
about. She says the hoopskirt is wicked,
immoral and unhealthful.

Had you thought of the fact that at the
present price of side meat six hogs aver
aging two hundred pounds piece would
be worth in the neighborhood of $3.50?
This idea is simply thrown out for what
it is worth-that six hogs can be raised
for much less than the cost of producing
four bales OF cotton. But you say meat
won't be so high next fall. Well, how
do you know? And if it does not you nor
the world would be any the worse off be-
cause of your having twelve hundred
pounds of home-raised meat in your
smoke house.

1t is getting real dangerous to be a
millionaire. Every idiot and crank who
has made perfect failure himself in life
is down on millonaires, and thinks the
proper thing to do is to kill them out.
1t is enough to make the editor and pro-
prietor of great and lucrative enterprise
like a country newspaper shudder when
he thinks what risk he is taking in
allowing his wealth to accumulate SO
rapidly. In order to avoid these dan
gers and live to ripe old age, the pub
Usher of THR News has concluded to
declare a dividend as fast as the paper
clears half million dollars and divide
the profits with subscribers, advertisers
and correspondents.

The farmers continue to scramble for
guano, and guano continues to be plen-
tiful just as was announced in these col
umns some weeks ago. Prices have adj
vanced though, for which there can be
found no satisfactory cause save the cry
that the supply would be short, which
made the average farmer eager to buy
even at an advanced price. This is an
other instance where farmers are out a
few dollars for not needing the newSpa-
pers. Such is life, but some people al
ways find it out too late.

While speaking of matters that affect
the interests of our people and section it
might not be bad idea to refer to that
cotton factory. A great many people
are of the opinion that we ought to built
a cotton factory this year. The idea is
good one, and we are ready to encourage
it all we can in the way of free advertis-
ing-which is saying lots for it, because
we stopped holding the nursing bottle to
deadheads some time ago.

THE Washington Post presents some
interesting tax figures: For the next
two years our government will spend
annually more than $500, 100000. Topay
one years expenses of the government it
will take nearly the combined wheat and
oat crop. Our annual output of gold,
silver, copper, iron, coal, petroleum and
leau will not foot our tax bill for twelve
months. Nor can we do it with year S
product of cotton, wool, rye, barley,
wines, potatoes AMI tobacco. The COM

is 599,OOO,O 900. One years taxes will
nearly swallow it up. Now, all this is

MISGUIDED HOME SEEKERS.

"What fools these mortals be-" sure

leaving the borders of the Indian terri
| tory and going back in disgust to their
former homes in Kansas, Iowa, Missouri,
Illinois and elsewhere under the impress
sion that because they failed to get lands
In the Cherokee strip there is no place in
all the broad west for them to settle. On
the other hand, the $4,000 people who
secured lands in the strip are in a plight.
They are away out on the open prairie,
minus fuel and water, where the winds,
the hot winds from Texas, are playing
havoc with their hopes now and where
later On the Texas northers will find
them without coal or other fuel and a
long winter before them. There are few
springs IN the strip, very few of the loca-
lions have natural water say the tele-
graphic dispatches, and wells have to be
sunk 100 to $50 feet to secure water for
drinking purposes.
New Mexico can beat this clean out of
sight all the time. Here, aside from our
superior climatic conditions, which rem
der outdoor pursuits a pleasure the year
round, we have fuel in abundance, as
prolific soil as lays out of doors, plenty
of water for all practical purposes, and
market for all fruits of the soil that is
ahead of any other district in the Union
to-day. Above all we have cheap lands.
True, they can not be entered under the
homestead laws, but they are far cheaper
in the end than those lands that can be, in
Oklahoma or any other section in the
west
To-day in New Mexico there are 500
300 acres of choice valley lands, under
irrigation bitches, that await the coming

o New Mexico would mean an increase
n our population of 10000 people. These
ands referred to can be purchased, with
perfect title, at from $25 to $s5 per acre,
nd all things considered we hold that at
his figure they are cheap as compared
nth the so-called free lands in the Indian
euntry.
New Mexicans who have friends among
aese misguided homeseekers in Okla
oma, the Cherokee strip and elsewhere
hould advise them of these facts.

said river which have for many years been
appropriated and used by. the citizens residing

the purposes Of irrigation, and upon the con-
| tinual use of which depends tho life and pros
perlty of the community, has been wrongfully
appropriated and diverted to other uses by the
residents near the headwaters of said stream, in
colorado, thus causing water famine in the
lower valley, which from year to year grows
greater, until the agricultural interests are in
imminent danger of destruction unless such
diversion be checked
Now, therefore, for the purpose Of counsalling
together. and devising ways and means to stop
such unlawful use and diversions of the water of
the Rio Grande, and of storing and preserving in
reservoirs the spring and storm waters that now
go to waste annually, and of discussing and con- i

named Hemingway appointed. 1t was
generally conceded that Childers was
sure of the place, no other contestant
being mentioned. Whatever the cause,
who ever the sponsor for the unknown
Hemingway, we wish to say now and here
that the refusal to grant Childers unquai-
fed support for any position that he
might ask, after his valiant service in the
cause of the Democratic party in this
territory is worse than ingratitude it is
base treachery, and any clique that builds
upon his ruin will be buried in the

ever held in New Mexico will assemble in
Albuquerque this week. The matters
discussed and the plans of procedure
adapted at these meetings concerns indi-
vidually every resident of the territory.
Statehood and favorable silver legislation
mean prosperity and rapid development
for New Mexico. Deprived of either of
these and our progress must be retarded.
The time is surely ripe for the people
of this territory to make q
united and vigorous demand for their
rights. Clamorous nssertiveness will &C.
complish more for us than simple dumb
hopefulness. We have waited and hoped
for statehood long and YEARLY. 1t is
time to act.-Albuquerque Citizen.
