F a personal 'POINT OF VIE W. J For several days an old gentleman has been peddling shoe blacking on the street corners. He has a little table on which is the array of round flat tin boxes, a piece of leather pol lished to a brilliant black, and a shoe likewise highly illuminated. The old fellow isunmistakely Irish. 'One only needs to listen for the first few words of rich brogue. Two things hafe an irresistible fascination for me Irish brogue and Scotch stories. Pass ing down the street the other day the flow of Hibernian-wit coming from the centre of a cojnpact circle of peo ,ple caught my attention. I stopped and finally managed to ■elbow my way into the crowa until I could see the objective point of that ceaseless flow of talk. He was a quaint looking old chap-with one of those pronounced Irish mugs one sees so rarely except in the comic weeklies. A fringe of snowy whiskers encir cled bis neck and throat, but bis face was clean shaven. His skin had a peculiar pallor something like it had been dusted with meal, and age had * "Webbed the corners of his mouth, eyes and the cheeks with countless wrinkles. But the flight of years had not dimmed the sparkle of bis conversa tion. He knew his business too. He alternately disappeared and the dimes rained into the capacious pockets of the old gentlemen. “They tell jhez thot I’m a yankee swindler, and thot I’ll ohate the oye teeth out of yez. But friends I’m from the city of Brotherly Love, where ivery mon loves his neighbor as be loves bimsilf”—under his breath, “thot’e a dom lie”—resuming his loud tone, “yez moight Beach the entire face of the earth and niver find ony thing to aqual this blacking. How many? Thanks.” So the ceaseless flow of glib Irish chatter went on, and—the blacking is all right. I haven’t used any of my box yet, but others have told me. “Uncle Joe” Mansfield, the jolliest ’lrishman on the face of the earth, and who represents the county of Mclntosh in. the legislature, has another bill to introduce in the event his measure to legalize prize fighting does not pass. “They, just shall not run over Joe. If the ijuts down me prize foight bill, I’ve another to introduce that will ifix thim. It’s to legalize bull fighting in Georgy. Down in my part of the country they don’t grow bigger than a Newfoundland dog, and ain’t fit to ate. Bat they are the fiercest little divils you iver saw, and ’ll foight loike damons. I’m going to introduce the bill sure if they don’t legalize me proize foighting measure. ” Great is “Uncle Joe!” Great is the wire grass of Georgia. A sad, sad story came to my ears yes terday, and it pains me to record it here. I had always deemed my friends Junius Simpson and Ab Dean men of Spartan courage; men who knew not the mean ing of the word fear. Yet on Thanks giving day a common black, scrub yearling treed both of them. Think of -the ignominy of that. But .the s*ory. On last Thursday Messrs. T, 0. Hand, Ab Dean and Junius Simpson went down the river hunting. The party scattered, and Mr, Hand was bagging quail right along when suddenly the blood was almost curdled in his veins by most heart rending cries of distress. He baited and listened. Again the crisp November air was split in to frag ments by voices in wnich there thrilled notes of a vful fear. The sound came from over a ridge in front of the hunter, and without a moments hesitation “he stormed the steep hill and at last stood i panting from the exertion on the brow. I Below lay a pretty valley, but once Merit Made'and Merit Maintains the confidence of the people in Hood’s Sarsaparilla. If a medicine cures you when sick; if it makes wonderful cures everywhere, then beyond all question that medicine possesses merit. Made That is just the truth about Hood’s Sar saparilla. We know it possesses merit because it cures, not once or twice or a hundred times, but in thousands and thousands of cases. We know it cures, absolutely, permanently, when all others fail to do any good whatever.

A sycamore .tree stood in the midst of the field, and silhouetted against the bare limbs were two figures. Mr. Hand salli ed down, and was almost rendered speech less to find that the figures up the tree were Messrs. Ab Dean and June Simp* son. “What’n thunder you boys doin’ up there?’’ asked Mr. Hand. Each clutched the limb to which he was holding mere firmly and with teeth going like castinets Mr. Dean answered: “A big black bear run us here. He liked to have got us. It was the narrow est escape we ever had in our lives. B-r-r r r. The great horrid things over there hi that thicket now, waiting to nail us as soon as we came down.” Mr, Hand went into the thicket, and finally routed a harmless looking black yearling. Then he laughed and laughed and laughed. He laughed so much that the two up the tree grew indignant. Mr. Hand said they looked crestfallen, too. He cannot understand how in the world they managed to climb that twenty feet of slippery and limbless sycamore tree and carry their guns with them. Messrs. Simpson and Dean absolutely refuse to discuss the matter. J. C.

As many Romans are acquainted with Judge George Hillyer, brother of Dr. Eben Hillyer, and, also, remember Artist Guerry, the following from the Atlanta Journal will prove interesting: Two very handsome and lifelike por traits, one of Hon. Allen D. Candler and the other of Judge George Hillyer, have been painted at the request of Dr. Warren A. Candler to be placed in the chapel of Emory college. The portraits were painted by the well known artist, Mr. Albert Guerry, who has won an enviable reputation for his skill in that branch of art and who has portrayed so many of the forms and features of the most distinguished men in the south. These pictures are now on exhibition at the state capitol, where they are at tracting much attention, where afe to be seen portraits of Colonel N. J. Ham mond, General Toombs, Governor At kinson, Mrs. Atkinson, Judge C. C. Smith, of Hawkinsville; ex-Chief Jus tice Bleckley, and ex Governors Smith and Bullock, by the same celebrated portrait painter. It is hoped that a portrait of Hon. Charles F. Crisp, whose death was mourned as a rational loss, will soon ap pear in the gallery of famous Georgians' • * THE SOME TBIBDNE TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 30, 1887 at the capitol, painted by the same ar tistic hand. Governor Richardson, of South Carolina, says that Artist Guerry is pre-eminently fitted for such a task, that would prove an inspiration to com ing generations. Judge George Hillyer comes of one of the most distinguished families in the state, is a son of the renowned jurist, Judge Junius Hillyer; was born at Athens, March 19th, 1835, but his father removed to Monroe when he was twelve years old, where young George attended school, finally going to Mercer, where he graduated with distinction in 1854. He studied law under bis father, was admitted to the bar by Judge James Jackson in 1855, and practiced law with his father, and later with Hon, Pope Hull. At the beginning of the war he was elected captain of the Hillyer Rifles, entered the Confederate service in the Ninth Georgia, served there until 1863, when he was made a major of the state troops and auditor of the old State road. He was in many bloody battles during his service in the regular army, and at the siege of Charleston bad only ten men left of his entire company. At the close of the war he began the practice of law in Atlanta, first alone, then in partnership with his brother, Henry Hillyer; afterwards with Blewitt Lee, son of General Stephen D. Lee and lastly with Hooper Alexander and W. W. Lambdin. He was a member of the legislature from Walton county in 1857, and chief clerk of the house in 1859-60. He was a member of the com mittee to audit claims against the State road and a senator from the Thirty fifth district in 1870-74. In 1873 6 he was a centennial commis sioner, and in 1877 judge of the Fulton circuit, but resigned at the beginning of his third term, and in 1885 he was elected mayor of Atlanta, and his ad ministration was one of the best that Atlanta ever bad. Since 1887 he has been a member of the water board, and most of the time its president, and it is largely due to his efforts that Atlanta has such a superb system of waterworks. He was a director in the Georgia Railroad and Banking company until 1891, and a delegate to the national Democratic convention In 1884, which nominated Grover Cleveland for presi dent, and again a delegate in 1892, He represented the old Sixth district in the convention that met in Charleston in 1860. Judge Hillyer is a prominent member of the Second Baptise church, and was married to Miss Ellen E. Cooley, of Rome, in 1867, and has five living chil dren. He has now retired from the ac tive practice of law and will devote bis time to literary pursuits. To Core A Cold .In One Day Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.
