THE TWO HANLONS.

THE TWO HANLONS.
This interesting note made of young
Georgian in New York we find in the Savannah
News:
IAN exceptionally artistic little folder, I'M
der the Title, ''Old Brooklyn Bridge" has just
been published in New York. 1t contains fac
smile of the original manuscript oil the poem
on the bridge, by Leon Hanlon, with portrait
of the author. The poem, which follows along
the style OF Tennysous famous The Bridge,
is exceptionally tender and true in sentiment.
Leon Hanor, who is winning recognition IN
New York in a literary way, IS the son OF Mr..
J. W. Han1on, ex-editor of the Ocilla Dispatch.
The poem and the clever manner in which it has
been presented ought to add TO his reputation.
We often find in the history of families tn at
genius which buds in the father blooms in the
son. We have known little of the younger Han
lon, but we have known long and we'll the elder.
We have often seen the flashes of genius in the
father, but there always seemed to be some
thing in the way of it's expansion and full de-
ve1opment. Perhaps it was the want of OPP
portunity. Perhaps he made the mistake of
not going to New York when young man.

we1l-Macon Telegraph.
Fitzgerald is interested in the freight rate
question. Although we not making as much
fuss about it as Atlanta we are in fair way of
getting what we want.
If the man who first thought of that squib
"Pu1l for your town, or pull out" had copy
righted it, he would have been rich by this time

The schedule between Fitzgerald and Irwin.
vile is most unfortunate for the lawyers jurors,
and witnesses from this part of the county.
Court convenes at $50, when Judge Martin

are expected to be in court.

Mr.. N. G. Brown, of Rochelle is in the city
visiting his brother, A. L. Brown who under the
firm name of Brown Bros has opened up one of
the completest and neatest stocks of dry goods,
notions, shoes, hats, ETC., in the city. The new
business occupies the Powell building Pine
street, opposite the Torrence-Story Shoe Co.,
The Young men are active and tactfu1 and will
easily divide the trade with their competitors.

The county roads, public roads in all parts
of the county,, need the attention of local. dis
trict commissioners who have made the mistake
of depending entirely on the convict road gang.
1t will be several years before the work of grad
ing road building has progressed to where the
gang can be used in the work of repairing. We
hope the Grand Jury will undertake to impress
the district commissioners with the Importance
of their duties.
Every advertisement may not bring sue
cess; every crop does not bring profit; in no
line of business can every effort be expected to
be successful, but it seems to be fact that
every advertising merchant finds the way, SOON
er or later, to success, whereas slothful, unen-
terprising merchants become seedy in person
al appearance guarding dust covered wares
Some tradesmen are too indolent to advertise.
Fitzgerald happily is not burdened with many
of that class of merchants. We have no COM
plant to make, but simply drop that hint.

state on his official duties and who has been in
