SOCIAL INIQUITIEs.

The mad rush which the society wo-
men have kept up throughout the coun-
try for the past year has in many in
stances brought forth condemnation
from the more, practical and sober
minded.
In all truth. the metropolitan news
papers are largely responsible for much
of the social frivolity which character.
ICES this decade
Justly keep such pluperfect slush out
of the public prints and nine womer
out of ten Will cease to be fascinated
with there social Orgies.
The Times-Recorder heartily endor
ses the following sentiment expressed
by that excellent gentleman, Editor
Mcintosh, of the Albany Herald.
There has been a pleasant let up il
card parties in Albany since the adven
OF Lent. Never was form of enter
tainment run so deeply IN the GROUND
as card parties have been in Alban
this season. There has been an averag,
of from three to four a week. which
have been attended practically by th,
same set of people, That so much tim,
devoted to this amusement did not in
terfere with the duties of the partici
pants to a more or less extent cal
scarcely be argued, and all will conced
that the time might have been mucl
more proftably spent. There are time
for all things, aud amusement is nee
essity to happiness in life. Too free al
Indulgence IN any amusement, how
ever, no matter how harmless, is sur
TO work to the detriment of whoever
guilty of such excuses.

FINAL CHAPTER IS WRITTEN

The death of Edward Cox at his
home near Atlanta on Saturday recalls
one of the most atrocions murders
ever committed in the confines of
Georgia. It was the Staying of Colonel
Robert Alston in cold blood on March
18th 1879. by this red handed bully,
Ed Cox, who has now gone to meet his
God and there receive just punish
ment which pandering courts and I'M
scrupulous men have proved too cow
ardly to deal out to him while on earth.
The Atlanta papers report Cali At
lAnta in mourning" over the demise of
this ex-convict, who probably might
have died in stripes but for the de-
mentia of Governor Alexander 81.

have been appointed District
Manager for AmeriCus and vicini-
ty for the NORTHWESTERN
MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE
Company of Milwaukee, Wis.
The Northwestern was establish
ed in 1858 and has therefore age
and experience. 1t has large as
sets and surplus, and therefore is
strong and safe. 1t is a purely
Mutual Company, owned by it's
policy holders, who alone share
its profits, and it has a record for
prudence, economy, fairness and
success not surpassed, if equaIIed,
by any company. All that is
most desirable in life insurance is
furnished by its policies, and at
a lower net cost than can be Sc
cured elsewhere. Let me figure
with you. LOTT WARREN.

THE LENT SEASON.

Is Lent period of religious devo-
tion of one when society" changes its
form of seeking recreation ? One is
tempted to ask, after reading the news
papers, If others than society keep
Lent, and if society keeps it as the
church which makes its observance en-
cumbent upon their faithful intend it
should be kept
1t is somewhat of shock to serious
minded persons to note the meaning of
Lent as accepted by the popular mind,
that it simply makes a portion of the
secular calendar
The American public Is not church
, gong public A very large per cent. of
it never enters the doors of sacred
edifice to worship. This portion knows
and cares but little for the practice of
churches, and it does rot associate
Lent particularly with churches
Is it that the materialism of our
twentieth century civilization is driv-
ing us so far from the "still small
voice" and leading to the indulgence of
the flesh rather than to the chasten1ng
of the spirit =?

CONGREssMEN WHO BOARD.

Four ffths of the congressman, in
Guiding both senators and representa-
tives, 1--we either at hotels or boarding
houses, though the proportion of house
holders among members of the upper
house is much larger, partly because
they are elected for six years, and SO
have certainty of long residence In
Washington to make it worth while
for them to establish their lares and
penates on a permanent footing at the
capital
Unless the legislator has means out
side of his salary he can hardly af-
ford to set up housekeeping on his
own account, because of the many de-
mands he is required to meet under
such circumstances, especially IN the
way of entertaining. If he is sena-
tor and keeps house he must give a
reception once week during the sea-
son, to which every chance conner is
supposed to be invited He will have
to keep up appearances in a general
way on scale appropriate to his posi-
ton and he soon finds his expenses
outrunning the So, 600 per annum which
Uncle Sam pays him.
1t is hardly possible for member of
congress to make any figure in the So
cial life of the capital on less than
$50, 900 a year, and he may easily spend
800, 900 per annum without immoderate
display. On the other hand, the poor
man who comes to Wash1ngington as q
legislator may get along on very little
money indeed It is not true, as COM
monty alleged, that Washington is an
expensive place to 1--we in, unless one
chooses to make it so. Rents are de
cidedly low, and on Capitol Hill, which
is the cheap end of the town, nice
house may be rent for $50 to $35 a
month. Many representatives pay not
more that $40 week for board and
lodging, and decent room with meals
may be obtained for as little as 81
