1t has been decided to hold the State
Fair in Augusta next fall.
Miss Julia Force is pining away in
Jail, and it is thought by some that she
intends to perish herself to death. 1t is
said that she reads her Bible daily.
Editor jim Brown, an old Dawson
boy, will now lay aside the trials and
tmbulations of the newspaper and take

been appointed postmaster at Newman.
"A company has been organized in
Floyd county to start village farming. 1t
is proposed to purchase large tracts of
land in different parts of the county and
build suitable houses and loo tie a certain
number of families upon each tract, al
| flowing each family 100 acres to cultivate.
The villagers will be supplied with
churches and stores and everything that

Major Sock Prutt, of Athens, has

celebrities. Sock deserves honor, as he
is undoubtedly alive and in the flesh.
"A white woman in Graniteville, near
Augusta, gave birth Tuesday morning to
most horribly deformed child. The
monstrosity was born dead, but it had
two heads and four legs. The body was
normal and the two heads sprang from
the same neck. Two of the legs were
perfect and the other two protruded just
Dove the hips.
Two other Georgians have received
nice plums from the administration. P.
M. B. Young has been appointed minis
ter to Honduras at salary of $4,000 a
year, while John 1. Hall, of Griffin, has
been made assistant encouragement at a
salary of s., 900. ''No candidates from
Southwest Georgia need apply" That's
about the way the sign reads. Among
/ all the good offices to be given out,
north and middle Georgia will get them
while the candidates from southwest
Georgia will be turned down 1t has al
ways been thus. It seems that north
Georgia has the brains-we have the
votes.
1t seems to be scarcity of collater-
ais and lack of confidence more than
the scarcity Of money that is hurting the
country. A man who has the collaterals
to Put up, or in whom the banks have
confidence, can get all the money he
wants. Money seems to be plentiful and
cheap in the north and east and there is
more Of it in the south than many of us
imagine The A nericus Times Record.

party in Atlanta day or two ago, offer
M to lend him $4,000 for low rate of

the banks beg the people to borrow mon
ey instead of having the people beg OF
them a loan The Americas banks have
more cash in their vaults now than at
any time in many years"

LET nm LECTURE.

The new Secretary of Agriculture Nor
ton was in hurry to dismiss the late
statistician of the department. He fired
him quick. The said statistician is the
man who taxed the capacity of the de-
partment liars to prove how dependent
she farmers were on the Mckinley bill.
Morton possibly had an idea that he was
too great an artist to hide away his
esteemed talents in the agricultural de-
partment, and he therefore gave linn
leave to wander forth and fresco the
earth with that class of pictures of which
Ananas was primitive artist.
But what an abundance of cheek this
dismissed fellow had, and what conf
dence in his capacity to impose upon the
credulity of the agricultural class We
are lost in admiration at the boldness of
the great liar.
He ought to go on the lecture plat

A gallant young clerk was trying to
entertain a bright young lady not long
ago. When the fire on the hearth, the
oil in the lamp, and the conversation,
too, began to run down pretty low, he
began humping ON the wall with his

said. ooh, yes" she said, after listen

store and went down town to let it out.
He now thinks he is a dead failure as a

A Good Audience.

The Rev. Lyman Beecher was once en-
gagged to preach by way of exchange FOR a
country minister, and the day proved to be
very cold and stormy. 1t was midwinter,
and the snow was piled in heaps all along
the roads, SO as to make the passage very
difficult. Still the doctor urged his horse
through the drifts till he reached the
church, put his horse into y shed and went
in.
As vet there was no person in the house,
and after looking about he took his seat In
the pulpit Soon the door opened, and q
single individual walked up the aisle and
took a seat.
The hour came for opening the service,
but there were no more hearers. Whether
to preach to such an audience or not was
only u ~momentary question with Lyman
Beecher. He felt that he had u duty to
perform, and that he had no right to refuse
to do it because one man only could reap
the benefit, and accordingly he Went
through all the services, praying, singing,
preaching and benediction, with one nearer.
And when all was over he fastened down
from the desk to speak to the ~"congrega-
tion," but he had departed.
So rare a circumstance was OF course oc-
casionally referred to, but 20 years after a
very discovery caiue W ilSho ~
connection with this service. DR.. Beecher
was travelling in Ohio, and on alighting
from a stage in Il pleasant village a gentle
tleman stepped up to him and called him
by name.
II do not rememb Der you" said DR.. Beech
er.
81 suppose not" said the stranger, "but
we spent two hours together in a house
alone once, IN a Storm"
II do not recall it, sir" replied the old
minister; pray where was it?"
DO you remember preaching 20 years
age in such a place to a single person."
Yes, l do indeed, and if you are the
man l have been wishing to see you ever
since"
Il am the man, sir, and that sermon
made q minister of me, and yonder is my
church. The converts of that sermon are
all over Ohio."-Youth's Companion.

The Origin Of "Deadhead."

Fifty years ago the principal avenue Of
Detroit had a toll gate close to the entrance
OF the Elwood cemetery road. AS this GEM
etery had been laid out some time previous
to the construction of the plank road, it
was arranged that all funeral PROFESSIONS
should be allowed to pass along the latter
toll free. One day as DIR. Pierce, a well
known physician, stopped to pay his toll
he observed to the gatekeeper:
considering the benevolent character of
our profession, l think you ought to let US
pass free of Charge"
mo, no, DOCTOR" replied the man, 1--WE
can't afford that. You send too many
'deadheads' through here as it is"
The story travelled. and the word became
iXed.-Stageland.
