WISE AND OTHERWISE.
Speaker Jenkins, of the Georgia
1 legislature, spent Saturday night here
and went down to Eatonton Sunday I

In speaking of the Senatorial matter
he said that it was hard to predict
who would get the place, and intima¬
ted that the “timber” offered from
which to make a senator was not as
large and sound as it might have been.
The Atlanta Constitution not only
led, hut whipped the fight against an
other election ; for, with the advanta¬
ges that Gov. Atkinson had over the
other candidates for U. IS Senator, he
would centainly have secured the cau¬
cus nomination, had it not been for
the active and earnest opposition of
the Constitution against another elec¬
tion. The Constitution is a great pa
per and Hons. Evan and Clark How¬
ell, lather aud son, are brilliant and
patriotic men and have done as much
good and solid work for Georgia and
the Democratic party as any other
fifty men in the State They are en
titled to any position they seek within
the gift of the party.
Sunday morning last just before
day, Sheriff Wright, Marshal Horton
and Deputy Sheriffs Hay and Maddox
made a raid on a place called “The
Need more,” about one mile above the
depot, and captured 15 or 20 tie
groes who were busily engaged in a
gambling game, known to the sport
ing profession a “the skin game,”
By quick work most of the players
were arrested and marched back to
town, where several gave bond and
the others were placed in jail to await
trial before Judge of the county court.
Our officers are determined to close
every gambling den in this section for
which they will have the thanks of all
good people.

ington Saturday Capt. J. M. Pace,

us that Dr. Morgan Callaway, of Ox
ford, vice-president of Emory college
and professor of chair of P^nghsh, who
has been ill at St. Joseph’s infirmary
several weeks, was repotted much bet
ter last night. Dr. Callaway came to
the infirmary three or four weeks ago
and has been receiving treatment
there since his arrival. The rest
which he has secured from his ardous
school duties has been beneficial and
his friends hope for an early recovery
and complete restoration to health.

college m«>re than twenty five yeaisj ,
and is well known throughout the
state and south as an educator of
great ability. His wite and daughter

The best test to put a pair of pants
to is to put them over busy legs, all
kinds of legs, and if they stand the
test of public appioval they must be
good. The Buckskin Breeches don’t

do under favorable conditions, but up¬
on what we know they have done un¬
der hard wear. The seams are right,
wear right, buttons right, aud we guar¬
antee them to be the best working
pants money will buy. For sale by
