the least-John Jacob AstOr and Will

Theta OriOniS,

In the constellation of Orion there is
a star known as Theta Orionis, which.
when viewed through powerful tele-
scope appears as a sextuple star, thus
presenting the magnificent panorama OF
seven stars revolving about each other.
1t is to be supposed that each Of these
suns is encircled by planets, and these
Ayain by moons.

The Old Planet Gets New Years Move on
Itself.
The planets Mercury and Venus are
now on.the opposite side of the sun, and
hence they are INVISIBLE. The former
has just passed its aphelion, and it will
be in superior conjunction on the 9th.
After this date it will be an evening star,
but it cannot be seen until about a month
later. Venus was aphelion on the 7th,
and will soon appear as evening star.
The earth will pass its periheliOn at 7
o'clock this evening. 1t will then be
three million miles nearer the sun than
in July. Its velocity is $4,000 miles an
hour, or about sixty times that of can

politics were turned to agriculture, com

A southwest Georgia Farmer.

From the Eufaula Advertiser,
The writer took delightful outing
about ten days ago to old sister Georgia.
" hle over there we had the pleasure of
being the guest for one night of that
model and successful planter, Mr.. S. T..
Jordan, whose hospitable home is sit
uated just two miles west of Leesburg,
in Lee county. Mr.. Jordan owns $500
acres of land, lying near the Kinchafoo-
nee creek, which is as fine as the state
of Georgia affords. He was kind enough
to treat us to ride over his plantation,
and it was immense to say the least. Mr..
Jordan believes in living at home; he
showed us one CRIB which containd 49,
900 bushels of corn, and we were shown
about 30 head of meat hogs some of which
would net 800 lbs. Fact is, we fell deep
ly in love with Southwest Georgia, and
the hospitable treatment of Mr.. Jordan
and his estimable wife we shall never
forget.

MANY Georgia counties, says the Co.
lumbus Enquirer-Sun, are responding
heartily to the appeal made by the Ne
braska sufferers, and each talks about
carloads of corn, or meat, or other sup
plies. If all these cars show up, it will
require more than one big engine to
wheel them on to the hungry people in
far off Nebraska, who are waiting for it.
When the whistle blows a carload from
this section should be hitched on to the
train.

A TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.

We are glad to see that call has been
issued to the teachers of Terrell for the
purpose of organizing an association. A
better and wiser step on their part could
not be taken, and we trust that goodly
number will meet on the appointed day,
and by their interest, show that they
desire to improve the condition of our
schools.
Our schools should be improved; and
to insure this the teachers must
improve themselves. Methods OF
instruction are constantly changing
for the better, and the teacher
who fails to keep up with the
procession will, in few years, be forced
to retire. In the school room, as every
where else, the fittest survive.
Let them all come out and organize an
association that will mark an era in the
schools of our county.

that the Cleveland administration is mot
nearly so we'll liked in Washington as was
the Harrison administration, because
the heads of the departments refuse to

AGREAT many counties that gave large
populist majortes in October and No
vember gave equally as large demo
cratic majorities in the county elections
last Wednesday. Georgia has always
been strong democratic state, notwith
standing the small majority in October.
The great fall off in the democratic vote
at that time as nothing more than a
protest of the people against the meth
DDS and practices of a lot of designing
politicians. The people of Georgia are
not populists; neither can they be driven
about and used as so many sheep.
