Mad To Tolograph In Order to Get Young Men for Posi tions Illustrative of the great demand for young meri thoroughly educat ed in business affairs, a Macon pa per states that the Georgia Busi ness College of ihat city has had to telegraph five times in ten days to other cities to secure young men to accept dosirablo positions, paying as much a9 $50. per month. It further states that, although tho College has several hundred pupils each year, it had not a sin gle graduate idle.

Wo come jigain claiming our place in your valuable' columns. Mrs. Holder, wife of Mr. Alex Holder, died on tli6 8th Inst. at her home near the Haile Gold Mine. M anuel Willinmy, colored, died yesterday (Sunday.) Well Mr. Kdltor, as "Usne" has given it to tho Kershaw Krr. and its editor, and Kershaw at larg??, I will say a few words to him. ' His article is vidioulous; it has thrown a dark damper over Kershaw and our citizens. We think that our little "dude" (us ho is styled) has rather gotten into deep water and we scarcely seo any chance for his escape. Wu..soe no motive whatev er for mir^dude" being s.> rash on the eiiUor of the Era, and we hope that lie will soon awake to see the fblly of his rashness before its loo late. We would advise the Board of Health to keep a close eye on this "dudo" for fcaf his brain will get so hot that theje will itaan ex plosion and his little bit of brains will be scattered to parts unknown. Wo will suggest-that if lie gels any hotter that he bs. confincd in an ice house for a few days and if that don't suffice to cool bim down we will adrise/oinetbfog better. Rev.
