Fraudulent Pets.

bought, recently, from a perambulat-

rayishingly beautiful little toy
poodle, whose feet especially attracted
attention by their extremely delicate
appearance. She took the treasure
home into her salon, and was horri-
fed in seeing it run at once up the
curtain. The dog turned ont to be

A railroad man has compiled statistics
which show that there is only one rail-
road passenger killed out OF every
1885, 1913 carried on the railways, aud
that for every 1873, 800 carried, only
one is likely to be injured. He bases
his calculations on the fatalities and
casualties on railroads during the last
twelve years His figures show that a
mans chances are such that he would
have to travel 4, 4O6, $50 miles before
getting hurt, and go AZ, 1888, 966 miles

The Savannah, (Ga. News remarks:
even in period not farther back
than five or six years ago, it appeared
that the South would continue to suffer
indefinitely the consequences Of
deeply seated prejudice and an i'll
will on the part Of almost numberlsss
individuals and journals whose main
efforts seem to be exercised in keeping
th9 tide q emigration turned or
Father kept away from the South.
Twenty-Five years after the war
it appeared still to be almost hopeless,
this desire and effort to direct the at
tention of emigrants to our sunny and
fertile land. But, prestol The long
wished for change occurred, and from
appearances now there is every rea-
son to believe our hopes are
nearing fruition. We have cause
to be thankful that the influx of new
citizens is far more desirable than
those we would have received fifteen
or twenty years ago. Then the great
mass of corners would almost surely
have been of that fresh, homogeneous,
un-Americanized element that would
not, could not so readily fraternize
with our native population. Now,
after q restricted incoming of foreign
ers, it falls to our lot to be able to at
tract a far better class of settlers than
we possibly could have induced to
come few years ago. Now we are
getting a class that if not altogether
American born, have been, we may
say, thoroughly Americanized There
are few or none who speak other
than the English tongue, few
or none that have not led lives
of steady industry, and SO far
as we know, are altogether free
OF all socialistic or communist doc
trines or sentiments. We doubt il
any country, at any time in recent
history, has been more blessed in the
character of its immigrants than in
the present instance. 1t is the only
class OF new citizens that Georgia OF
any other Southern State has any
need to influence to come. Only
those are wanted who are able to buy
and establish homesteads, anG as
consequence have a deep and abiding
interest in the maintenance of peace
ful and good government For til,
present, considering the progress o
labor-saving machinery, we have n,
need OF those whose only capital i
