this gentb man, now in the employ of Col. R. F. Mad

Of Mr. Scott we can say that he is eminently fit for the
position in every way, and the Board could not have
elected a better man and nicer gentleman for the hon
orable position. Mr. Scott is a gentleman of culture,
and we predict a bright future tor Fletcher Institute

Two barbers, from a Marietta street shaving saloon,
named Valentine and Boyce, were about to try the
edges of their razors on each other’s throats on ac
count of some misunderstanding arising in tbe course
of business. Valentine choked a little of Boyce’s
rich blood from his jugular, when that individual
went for a rock, and was about to smash the Valentine.
The police hovered near, and calmly towed them to
deep water. Ten, each.
John Patterson took on his load and “ fetched up”
against the side of a newly painted hous9 on Nelson
street. Shoving himself clear by a vigorous effort, be
took a glimpse at hts shoulder, another at the house, a
third at his hand, and exclaimed, “Well, that's a care
less trick in whoever painted that house to leave it
standing out all night for people to run against,” went
off with an alarming symptom of hydrophobia. The
Court was sure John was tight, and patted him on the
shoulder to the tune of $10.
J. W. Mansion, supposed to betheorgioal “mansion
in the skies.” filled his upper story with twist-eye. and
the whole magnificent fabric crumbled to tbe earth
and was piled away by the police, the expenses on
which amounted to ten dollars and something.
The Court then gave a lucid homily on the evils of
ntemperance, and closed the services by singing, in
L. P. metre, the following dirge to “fools,” (Joosen
singing alto, Dr. Barry the bass, and Parker, Holland,
Wooding, Jones and Dan Shehane the tenor.) It was
“lined ” out:
Of all the poor fools who inhabit the earth—
Fools by misfortune, or fools from their birth ;
Rich fools and poor fools, and great fools and small—
The man who gets drunk is the greatest of all.
The spendthrift who revels in siotous living.
In spending, or losing, iu lending, or giving.
Is foolish enough; but he has not yet sunk
To ihe level of him who is constantly drunk.
The miser, eternally starving and > laving.
For what he is earning, or stealing, or saving.
May be reckoned a fool; but HE is not quite
So foolish as he who will get on a “tigut.”
The man who will wager, and dicker and lie
On the toss of a cent, or the cast of a die,
You would think as foolish as foolish could be,
But the drunkard Is even more foolish than ne.
Investments in “wildcat” are mostly a curse.
But investments in whisky are something still worse:
For stocks do not always their favors refuse,
But whisky investments are certain to lose.
And so I’m convinced of the truth of my text.
That of all tbe poor fouls, for this world and the next,
The rich or the poor, the great or the small, '
The man who gets drunk is the greatest of all.

A New Entxrfbike.—We have received a copy of a
circular issued by Colonel W. C. Tilton, of Dalton, in
which he proposes to establish a general depot for the
purchase of grain. Mr. Tilton has had large expe.
rience in sampling of grain of ail kinds, and particu
larly of wheat, and knowing the difficulties that mil
lers generally experience in obtaining the services of
experienced and reliable persons to furnish them with
their supplies, has induced him to this course. He
relies upon the assistance of those interested to sus
tain and further the object, and will bny wheat and
all kinds of grain for miners, and it will be to their
interest to intrust their orders to his care. His terms
are cseb, and he win not bny upon any other. Send
yonr orders in advance of your wants. He does no t
propose to buy wheat to speculate upon, neither will
he keep a stock on hand. Address, W. C. Tilton, Dal.

The meeting of the Pomological Society yesterday
morning was well attended, and was perhaps the most
interesting that has been held since the organization.
The exhibition of fruit was fine, and the discussion
upon it highly interesting. The following gentlemen
were proposed for membership and were duly and
unanimously elected: Col. George N. Lester, Col.
Mark Johnson, A. W. Hammond, E. E. Itawsou, Dr.
W. F. Westmoreland, Thos. W. Candler, E. Van
Goitsnoven and W. A. Haynes.
Mr. W. P. Patilio offered a resolution which was
adopted, to the effect that no initiation fee be charged
boys between the ages of twelve aud eighteen years,
in order to encourage them to join and take an inter
est in the subject of fruit growing. The following
names were then suggested, and the appli
cants elected members: Masters John C. Lass,
Orzne Campbell, J. P. Marshal. John 8. Holliday,
W. O. Jones, Jesse Morton and Charles .Tannings. The
committee appointed at the last meeting to investi

A very agreeable and .entertaining incident of the
meeting was the recital by Master Edgar Wallace, a !

his sire’s credit eighty-three varieties.
A resolution wss adopted authorizing and instructing
the President to appoint five delegates from the So

next. It is expected that the railroads will pees dele

The following members contributed to the table,
which was literally crowded with the different varie
ties of fruit: President J. R. Wallace, a large variety
of peers and several varieties of grapes. Mr. Wallace
is peculiarly at home in describing bis fruit, especially
pears. He does not stop at a description of the
quality, appearance and flavor, but can give the effect j

usual business lectures were, for the day, dispensed

introduced and gave a beautiful entertainment. His
recitations were simple yet touching, comprising such
selections as “Bingen on the Rhine;” “Yankee in
Love;” “Shauias O'Brien,” Ac.; yet their rendering
showed the power of the Professor and his mastery
of the art. The students of the Coliege listened with
rapt attention, and showed their appreciation by their
applause. These exercises or those of a similar char
acter are not unfrequeut at tbe Eastman College, and
possess much merit, as they serve to give relaxation to
students whose minds have been intent during the

“All here seem pleased with the effort of the pro

is assembled. The springs are certainly remarkable
for strength and variety of ingredients, and some ex

been effected. Invalids especially seem pleased. The
climate is delightful. The scenery picturesque and
much of it sublime. There is not the slightest
cholera panic among the guests here. Atlanta is well
