Railway Gross Earnings

The returns already received from the railroads for the month of August show a gain of over seven million dol lars, or something over nine per cent beyond the gross receipts of August of last year. The railroads in every sec ton of the country show gains, those of the Pacific coast leading in the list. The southwestern lines were crowded with business, and the receipts of the southern lines were increased to $13,- 382,964, gain of 71a per cent over the receipts of August, 1906. The Louis vile and Nashville reports a gain in August, $393,0S5; the Southern also re- ports gain, $299,1S7 and the Illinois Central a gain in August of $168,944
 It is idle to say that general trade is dull and decreasing when the gross receipts of railroads are increasing. The very business that creates gross receipts of railroads is the general bus mess of the people, and larger gross receipts mean that the general busl- ness of the country was larger in Au- gust than it was in August one year ago. Just so long as gross railroad receipts go on increasing no one need pay any attention to the opinions or predictions of the pessimists or the Wall street brigade.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
 A man might be able to economize in jail
 A man can repent of most anything if it hurts him hard enough.
 A man can get a bad name other ways than going into politics, but not so quick. A young woman might be able to love an. old husband if there were no other ki,-u known.
 A woman gets her fortune told so that If 1t ever should come true she could say she knew 1t was going to hanpsn.

THE BILIOUS POET.

From the Nashville American.
 The author of a recent book of verse says of singer:
 Will no one tell me why he sings
 Such doleful melancholy lays Of withered summers. ruined springs,
 Of happier bygone days,
 And kindred topics, more or less Designed to harass or depress?
 Cant say. A little vermifuge or calo- mel might cause him to sing more cheerful note. A bilious poet is worse than a croaking raven.
