"Thanksgiving day, Nov. 28th, is South Carolina day. The special trains will go on Wednesday, Nov. 27th, (see ritilroad'authorities as to the sched e of thse trains; returning, tb specinls will leave Atlanta Sunda afternoon.

Not for years has the number and magni ide of the 'omnl~*ies for which receivers were appointed been so small in 'the samo length of timec as in the three months from July 1 to October 1, says the 1lailway Age. Only four roads.with 687 miles of lines and representing 823.438.000 of bonds and stock. were turned over- to ree-eivers in that period. and of these the most important, the St. Joseph and Grand Island. with 445 miles and 13.235.000 of eapitaliz.ation, might properly he charged to the account of 1892 when the~ Union raeiie, by which it was controlled. went into insoh:eney. If this road is -taken out of the list on the grounad of duplicatios,. the receivership record for the'la-t thre" months will come (down to four roads with ony 242 miles of line and 810.103,000 of bonds and debt-a~ remarkably smralI totchl. The receivership record for tbe entii-e yea r will be chiefly notable for its -sma&llness. It is thus far only about half ais large as that for the Tirst nine maonths of 1894. wher thirtv -t wo roads, with G.254 miles. and 8361,656.000 of eapital had been turned over to r.eeivers. Compared with the black -year. 1893, whr n sevntv-foIur companies. representing 29,30 miles.~and 81.781.000 of eapital, confessed insolvehey. the showing for tife present yea r. and espe'einlly for the last three months mo der consideration, is indeed -cheering. .t does not seem likely .that the list .will be greatlyincreased in the av arter now passing, and..the prospect is good t-hat the receiver ships of 1895 will prove to represent a small er :umber of roads than in any year smD.g 186. when the list included only nine com panie. operating 1.047 miles and involving $90,18.00 ofsecurities. A man with a painful expression of countenance sat on a dry goods box: "Are yon ill?" some on'e asked. "No." "Have you lost anything?" "Ne ver :aa auy thing to lose." "~Wha's the natter then?"
