THE
Kimball House,
ATLANTA, CA.
Years before its destruction by fire,
gained * reputation among tourists
and the commercial fraternity, not
a whit behind the phenominal
progress made by the city of At
anta, which, twenty years ago,
lay a smouldering mass of ruins,
which now numbers dose a
population of 70,000.
After a lapse of eighteen
months there arose, Phoenix like,
from rhe ashes of the old Kimball,
the present structure, a marvel of
skill and beauty, as shown£by the
annexed cut; and now, after having
Been open two years, has not only
kept pace with the original reputa
tion, but has made such improve
ments in every department, that it
c far ahead of anything the most

With pardonable pride the pro
prietors would call the attention of
all "tourists to Florida and New
Orleans, during the present winter
season, to the many advantages
possessed by Atlanta and her
grand Hotel.
Atlanta, with her high altitude
and atmosphere of unexceptional
purity, needs no commendation
here as to her healthfulness. Sta
tistics show her to be one of the
■tost healthy in the Southern tier
ci cities; and the United States
Government, in selecting her over
many others as a permanent mili
tary post, with barracks to accom
modate 1,000 troops, has endorsed
his point beyond question.
Her acknowledged thrift and i
enterprise will lead her to take '

Let the Others go.
A man while fishing suddenly fell into the water.
A fallow fisherman, of benevolent aspect, promptly
hauled him out, laid him on his back, and then began
to scratch his head in a puzzled way.
“What’s the matter?” asked the bystanders; “why
don’t you revive him?”
“There are sixteen rules to revive drowning per
sons,” said the benevolent man, “and I know ’em
all, but I can’t call to mind which comes first.”
At this point the drowned man opened his eyes
and said faintly:
“Is there anything about giving brandy in the
rules?”
“Yes.”
“Then never mind the other fifteen.
How it is Out West.
A sullen looking man with a horse whip entered
a Nebraska newspaper office and asked the boy
where the editor was. The boy “sized him up” and
answered:
“Gone to Ohio; won’t be back in six months.’’
“Where’s the foreman?”
“He’s gone to Washington with an invitation to
the President, and won’t be back ’fore cold weather.
What do you want —want to paralyze ’em.-”
“No, no; I owe four dollars, and thought I’d
pay up.”
“That’s so? Hold on a second; perhaps the ed
itor hasn’t started yet.”
He whistled; a long, dark form crawled out of a
wood box, and the editor was ready for business.
Old men, like old dogs, love to sit in the sun.
The man who knows himself has learned one
thing well.
There iz a great deal of the literary culture of the
times that iz like the growth of the pumkin-vine on
prolific soil —about twenty feet of vine to one
punkin, punkin small at that.
A man needs to live twice before he knows how
to live once; and then he will all the time keep
thinking how much better he could live if they
would only let him try it once more.

IDE.
A Boston lady who contemplated purchasing a
homestead in North Carolina wrote to an old set
tler in that vicinity, asking if it was true, as re
ported, that the grass in that country was infested
with “jiggers” that creep into the flesh. The reply
was: “Yes, but all you have to do is keep your legs
greased and they won’t trouble you.” She con
cluded not to buy.
Each Entertained a Different Opinion.
Bobby was in the parlor when Albertus called,
and Maud was up stairs getting ready to present
herself.
“Good evening, Robert,” said Albertus, briskly;
“Maud has not yet arrived I see.”
“Nope,” replied Bobby, carelessly. “She’s mak
in’ somethin’ I s’pose.”
“Industry, Robert, is a shining virtue. But what
is Miss Maud making?”
“I dunno; they were talking about you at the
tea table, and Miss Maud said she was making a
mash, ma said she was making hay while the sun
shines, and pa said she was making a fool of herself.”
A Writer for the Press.
“What are you doing, Thomas?” asked the min

“I am writing for the press,” said the lad, proudly.

do you write?”
“I direct wrappers.” Critic.
Economy is Wealth.
“What is the matter?” asked a lawyer of his

“Can’t you pull them up?” “I‘m afraid not.”
“Then.” said the lawyer, after judicial delay, “run
them into something cheap.”—[Chambers’Journal.
