Maid servants in New York arr

Maid servants in New York are
governed in their choice as to mis-
tresses by the region in which the lat
ter live. The best servants refuse to
consider offers from persons living OUT
side certain fashionable or semi-fash-
ionable places. Some will not go to
the east side below Fourteenth street,
and many disdain Harlem as they do
the country unless the offer comes
from rich family with many servants.

a candidate before the people for a seat in
the Georgia Legislature. When asked by
Judge Dooly as to his prospects in the COM

fears of his defeat, as the people in that
country had a strong prejudice against
voting for a lawyer.

THAT PUBLIC BUILDING.

Does Durham want a public build
ing?
One would hardly think so when he
sees the Indifference of the popula-
ton toward any movement for such
an Improvement.
If Durham wants a public building
and really intends to have it, she
cannot sit down in silence and get it.
Maledictions Of persons who have
not done their duty in the past will
not bring the building one hour
nearer. What has been done in the
past will not hold good now. The
only thing that will amount to a con-
%tinCntal IS the determined, united
work of the present.
And the work cannot be long de-
layed.
Durham has every argument 10
offer in favor Of the appropriation.
Her postal receipts, her payment of
internal revenues are large enough to
cntitle her to a government building
She Is an important railroad centre
and a town of no small population,
