1t pains us to observe that the Eufaula

He is wrong every day in the year, and
is losing as often as opportunities are

OUR frieLd Howard, of the Early
County News, is getting added under
the bright prospects of a glorious
Griggs victory. He misconstrues our
remarks about Judge Bower declining
to meet Judge Griggs on the stump,
and then talks about filings and "insin-
uations" that were never made. If the
good man will spew up and spit out
some of the personal spleen he has
brought into the campaign the grey
matter in his composition will, per-
haps, get in better working order and
cause him to quit seeing things as they
are-not. Early will send a solid
Griggs delegation to the convention in
spite of the tuning and fussing and
spouting of our agitated neighbor.

GEORGIA REPUBLICANS.

The Mckinley men won in the repub-
lican state convention at Atlanta.
Colonel A. E. Buck, chairman OF the
state executive committee, got in the
saddle at the start and held the reins
until he had accomplished what he
wanted. There appears to have been
sort of compromise between Buck
and Pledger by which the latter's law
partner, FL. L. Johnson, was elected as
one of the four delegates at large. The
four delegates were A. E. Buck, Fl. L.
Johnson, III. A. Rucker and J. A. De-
yeauX.
Mail. F. Hanson, the manufactures,
who was slated as one of the delegates,
was turned down by the convention.

THE New YEAR was greeted last
night in due and ancient form by the
city bells, horns, whistles, frecrackers,
guns, railroad torpedoes and every
thing else which could make noise.
Watch meetings were held in most OF
the churches and private entertain
mepts were given in large number OF
houses. The streets were alive with
people when the death knell of the old
year began by the tolling bells. When
the midnight peals from the City Hall
clock announced that 1895 was back
number the din started in earnest.
Steam whistles screeched, the bells
rang furiously anil fusilade Of explo-
sives made sleep impossible. Torpe-
does had been placed upon the tracks
OF the railways passing through the
city and locomotives ran up and down
TO explode them. The reports were
terrific, some of the torpedoes causing
a reverberation equal to that of q
small cannon. To-day has been a sort
of half holiday, the banks, government
offices and some other public places be-
ing closed. Social calls were made in
many instances and the usual open.
house programme was carried out in
divers cases. The weather has been
clear and seasonable.

ANNOUNCEMENT.

The publishers Of the GAZETTE have de.
termined to reduce its price, the Dlily from
SIX to FIVE and the Tri-weekly from Four
to THREE DOLLARS PER ANNUM, this rate to
go into effect on the first OF next January.
The object of this will be to bring the GAZETTE
within the reach of all, placing thu Daily
edition at tie small sum of TEN CENTS PER
WEEK. As it is, the paper is regarded as the
sine qua non OF most households in Alexandria
and the surrounding country, and this reduc-
tion, it is believed, will eventually render it
equally indispensable in OH .rs. In the year
to come, as in the past, every exertion will be
used to make the GAZETTE attractive, and to
fill it with all the current news.
