IN GEORGIA .SANCTUMS.

The diversity of Georgia's resources is
again brought out by the following from
The Brunswick Times Advertiser:
Captain Seay told The Times-AdVertiser
that Rome had shipped twenty or tnirg
carloads of beef cattle to Cincinnati. we
may now begin to hope for an improve
butchers from the western packing houses.
There is nothing so likely to improve Geor-
gia beef a round trip passage anu d

The Americas Times Recorder calls at
tention to a piece of newspaper cowardlce
that has been very noticeable among the
goldbug organs. 1t says:
1t appears that one or more of the gold
bug newspapers, knowing that the people
are almost unanimous for silver in their
respective sections, haven't the courage 10
advocate the godbUg doctrine openly, but
are making their fight on silver with
long-winded articles credited as commu-
nications anonymously signed. These little
editors might we'll pull down the bind,
for they are foolins no one"
The Augusta Evening Herald says that
there are men in New York who, when il
is as hot as blazes there, wear overcoats
when there is a cold wave in London" but
fails to add that when the foreign coun-
tries play on the golden string these same
people dance accordingly.
The poet of The Griffin Daily News thus
portrays the troubles of the farmers boy:
IN THE SPRINGTIME.
''Now's the time Ger fishin,
