MICK’S BILLIE GOATS.
He Relates Ano her One Gt Tbo Vmixbt
** eous Yarns.
1 was glad brother Folsom wrote
that goat story. I had intended- to
■write it up myself, but was afraid no
one would believe it, since I have a
man of such well known veracity as a
witness. I make no bones of assisting
its truth. 1 have no doubt he intends
in his next to write up the prize fight
at Coosa with a billie goat, but it runs
in my mind to steal some of his thun
der and placate him. That billie goat
is named Seab, and he stands for
honest government, “a free ballot and
a fair count.”
U Along in the summer, when Folsom
rusticating down here, he made
the acquaintance of Seab, but Seab
didn’t take to him much and seemed
to recognize him at once as a ballot
chewing democrat. They continued
for a time to pass and repass in an
ostensibly friendly manner as only
gentlemen can do, but I could see that
Seab was laying for him One morn
ing before the lark began to sing, Fol
som’s poetic mind was leading over
the hills where he could pluck the
wild flowers and enjoy the bracing
atmosphere, I saw him heading for
the stamping grounds of Seab and his
Companions. Something whispered
to me that there was fun ahead, so I
seized a field glass and sought an ele
vated position. Foisom, with his feet
on the earth and his mind among the
Mars, walked right into the herd of
goats be fore he knew it. Seab and
his boon companions quickly formed
a circle around him. Seab stepped
three paces to the front and said
‘bab-ah-ah, what might be your pro
fession?”
Folsom said, “I am an editor and
poet, enjoying the morning air. ”
Seab replied, “Bah ah ah, you are
a gold bug.”
Folsom said, “Why, Seaborn, don’t
you know I am a took ribbed demo
crat, the same that saved the country?”
Seab replied, “Bah-ah-ah, you lie,
you lie, you are a ballot chewing demo
crat ! I challenge you to open hand
ed combat.’’
Folsom cast one political eye to the
East, th» other to the West and his
past life flashed across his mind like a
panorama.
An awkward silence prevailed.
Finally a big bearded billie stepped
up and said he had helped to work
up the clay to make Mr. Folsom in the
wiregrass country, and he intended to
see that Folsom had a fair show.
Thus encouraged to see that he had
one friend in the crowd Folsom decid
ed to fight it out on that line if it took
.all summer. Then two billies locked
scorns, while one held his left hind foot
firtnty to the ground the other deserib •
•ed a circle With his right as they swung
round, thus making a ring. While
they were doing this Folsom deftly
slipped two smooth stones into his
Then the combatants com
menced walking the circle watching
each other the while for the ’vantage.:
Presently Folsom let fly a stone which |
missed the mark, but Seab got in a
left hander on the shin that made him
go lame.
After some circling Folsom let fly
his last rock which landed square on
Seab’s horn, but bounced off like a
rubber ball, and Seab smugged him
just above the belt which laid him on
his back, Folsom came up with Seab’s
hind leg in his hand and brought him
a ring tailed side wipe with the inten
tion of breaking Seab’s Leek, but Seab
lit on all fours, “right side up and as
well as usual.” Folsom made an effort
■to pick up another stone which lay
just outside of the ring, but Seab land
ed on his hip pocket which sent Fol
som a somersault clear out of the ring.
As Folsom was some time getting up
his friend, with the long beard, raised
the white flag and declared Seab the
■winner. Then Seab passed around
his manufactured tobacco and such
another bah-ah-ah, bah ah ah you
never heard. Folsom limped over the
hill followed closely by his wiregrass
friend who endavored to console him
by saying he fought against great
odds, that Seab was a professional,
that he could walk a three cornered
fence r til and never blink an eye; that
his horns were as hard as adamant;
that he could get over a fence so quit k

which air all-wise Providence has placed in
countries where Liver Diseases most prevail.
4t win cure all Diseases caused by Derange
-ment'of the Liver and Bowels.
The SYMPTOMS of Liver Complaint are a
bitter or bad taste in the mouth; Pain in the
Back, Sides or Joints, often mistaken for Rheu
matism; Sour Stomachy Loss of Appetite;
Bowels alternately costive and lax; Headache:
Loss of Memory, with a painful sensation ot
‘having failed to do something which ought to
have been done; Debility; Low Spirits, a thick
wpllow appearance of th© Skin and Eyes, a dry
•Cough often mistaken for Consumption.
Sometimes many of these symptoms attend
the disease, at others very few; but the LIVER
is generally the seat of the disease, and if not
Regulated in time, great suffering, wretched
ness and DEATH will ensue.
The following highly esteemed petaons attest
to the virtues of Simmons Liver Regulator:
«Gen. W. S. Holt, Pres. Ga. S. W. R. R. Co.; Rev
J. R. Felder. Perry, Ga.; Cot. E. K. Sparks, Al

“We have tested its virtues, personally, and
know that for Dyspepsia, Biliousness and
Throbbing Headache it is the best medicine the
world ever saw. We tried forty other remedias
before Simmons Liver Regulator, but none gavo
us more than temporary relief; out the Regu
lator not only reiieveo, but tured us.”—Ed.

DECIDED TO HANDS OFF.
Politicians Met and Talked Over the Contes’;
for Supreme Court.
The constitutional amendment
making supreme court judges elective
officers has already made an import
ant change in t e methods of practi
cal politics. This is seen in the result
of a conference of leading men, whose
ideas were shaped to suit the new sit
uation, says the Atlanta Journal.
Last Friday night in room 116 of the
Kimball house, there was a meeting
at which a number of prominent poli
titians from different parts of the
state were present. They were largely
from that class which has been known
as “the men who control.” Naturally
the object of this conference is a mat
ter of public interest. On good author
ity it can be said that the subject un
der discussion was the attitude which
they should occupy toward the elec
tion of supreme court judges. There
can be no doubt about the fact that
one or more of the most prominent
took the position that it would be in
judicious if not improper for anything
like a concerted effortlo be made to
select"three men for the democratic
nomination.
The gentlemen present were undoubt
eßy men of great influence in their lo
calities, and combined, they would prove
a tower of strength for any three men
upon whom they had agreed and concen
trated. The result of their deliberations
is said to have been a fixed purpose to
practically hands off and without cooper
ation to act independently «f each other,
voting for their respctive favorites.
It is said that this view was substan
tially presented ; Elections before the leg
islature, taking place as they do for
judges of the superior court and solici
tors general, force concert of action, but
as these offices had been referred to the
people of the state, it was wise and right
for each man to stand entirely udon his
own strength and no combination would
or should be made back of candidates.
NINE MONTHS IN BEQ, CURED

T. J. Blackmore, of Haller & Blackmore
Pittsburg, Pa., says: “A short time since I
procured a bottle of “Mystic Cure.” It got
me out of the house in twenty-four hours.
I took to my bed with Rheumatism nine
months ago and the “Mystic Cure” is the
only medicine that did any good. I had
five of the best physicians in the city, but
received very little re lie,, irom them. I
know that Mystic Cure to be what it is rep
resented and take pleasure n racomending
it to ether sufferers.”

When the teacher gets cross and the dimples

When the teacher gets cross the tables all mix
And the ones and the sevens begin playing
tricks,
The pluses and minns is just little smears,
Where the cry-babies cry all their slatesup
with tears.
The figures won’t add, and they act up like sin
When the teacher gets cross and the dimples

And Billyboy puffs and gets red in the face,

Tilt she hollows cut “Next!” as sharp as s pin
When the teacher gets cross and the dimples

When the teacher gets good, her smile is so
bright,
The tables get straight and the readers gets

The pluses and minus come trooping along,
And Aggers add up and stops being wrong,
And we chilluns would like (but wedaasent)
to shout.
When the teacher gets good and the dimples

OUR CARPET COLUMN
Why is it that we can sell Carpets and
Smyrna Rugs at 50c. on the Dollar?
Eight years ago the McKinley tariff on Carpets and Rugs gave a great stimulus
to these industries in the United States. Scores of new mills were erected, thousands
of new looms put in to manufacture Carpets and Rugs. The strong competition among
these mills; their increased facilities; their improvements in machinery and manufac
turing; then the Wilson bill, giving us free wool, have all combined to bring the price
down to a little more than half the price of a few years ago. Few people realize how
cheaply they can buy a floor covering—we want every one to know it.
