ANIMPoRrANT MOVEMENT.

| AN
The Greater Georgia Association
organized in Atlanta last week is an
important step, and promises to do
much good in making known to the
world the advantages of the state. A
number of delegates were present
from all parts of Georgia, and much
enthusiasm was manifested.
The organization has for its purpose
the attraction of immigration and cap
ital to Georgia, the development OF
our resources and the advancement OF
all interests.
tbs TO be hoped that when the plan
assumes a more definite shape the city
of Dawson and the county OF Terrell
will each see proper to make contri-
button to the advertising fund, as 1t is
the intention of those having the mat
ter in hand to do all in their power to
bring more enterprises to Georgia as
we'll az to induce immigration among
class OF small but worthy farmers who
are now in the north and west
We of this section need as much as
anv other the benefits TO be derived
from a movement OF this kind.
The Perry Home Journal is correct
ly of the opinion that in introducing
the bill to pension ex-slaves Senator
Hanna was cruel to the negroes as we'll
as hypocritical to the whole country.
He has created the hope OF living at
the governments expense in the
minds of the ex-slaves, while he knew
that such bill could not be enacted
into law. Such bid for political favor
from such ignorant people is con-
temptible. AS to the hurtful effects OF
such a law it is not necessary to al
lude.
JUSTICE SHIRAS has resigned from
the bench of the United States SUI
preme court, and W. r. Day of Ohio
has been appointed to succeed him.
Mr.. Shiras has the reputation OF being
one of those lightning change judges.
He is said to be the fellow who put the
income tax out of business, having
changed his opinion between shutdown
and sunrise.
SENATOR MORGAN, one of Alabama's
antieuated senators, who is for canal
and against canal, got mad the other
day and called Senator Hale of Maine
a liar. This pastime. which is becom-
ing frequent in congress, is said to
have created tremendous sensation.
If both of them had been southern
ers the sensation would have been
greater.
Hon. G. r. GLENN of Georgia has
been appointed agent of the Peabody
| educational fund to succeed the late
DR.. Curry. Professor Glenn, who re-
Gently retired from the Office of state
school commissioner of Georgia, is a
native of Terrell county and one OF the
ablest and most prominent educators
in the United States.
ANOTHER new department OF govern
ment has been established-that oil
commerce. That is to say, as the Lex
ington Echo puts it, a whole lot
more OF fat places have been created
to which the influential in politics can
be appointed And that's about all il
will amount TO.
"THEY tell US, said Major Hanson
in Atlanta, "thst we have state full
of pretty women and fine men. 1t may
be true of the women, but these tai
returns Indicate that the men are 10
of d-n rascals." That's a terse WAY
of putting it, to say the least.
THERE has been altogether tot
much agitation of the race problem
When it reaches the tscute stage thu
south will settle it all right. And th'
northern fanatics, including office
seeking Teddy, are Fastening the set
, Element
THERE must be money in searching

COLONEL COLE YOUNGER, forme
