THE ATHENS GEORGIAN: MAY 8, 1877.
Not Much Ahead.
A man with the most lonesome ex
pression an artist ever conjured up
tor canvass halted at an eating stand
on tiie Central Market yesterday find
said:
“ My good woman, I have been
robbed of eight .thousand dollars in
this city.”
“ Poor man!” she promptly
.sighed.
“ Yes, robbed of eight thousand
dollars, and I am a hundred miles
from home, and hungry and penni-
less.’’
“ And you want something to
eat ?”
“ Yes, ma’am.”
“ You shall have it. Sit right down
here.”
lie sat down and she gave him
some cotlee, a piece of meat ami a
biscuit. When he had linishe l eat
ing he said :
“ Madam, did you really believe
my story ?”
“No, sir,” she answered.
“ You thought 1 did, did yon ?”
“ I knew you did.”
“ But you gave me food.”
“ So I did. My boy found a dog
yesterday, and gave him more than
he could eat. I simply gave you
what was left, to save filling up the
slop-pail.’’
“ Madam,’’ began the man as his
mouth commenced to draw around ;
“ madam, I—I don’t see whether I’m
ahead of the dog or the dog ahead of
me on this thing; but I know you’re
ahead of both, and I feel siek. You
played it well, and if there’s any dy
ing declaration in my case I won’t
mix yon in. Bye-bye, old gal—
I’in failing fast.” Detroit Free
The fraudulent President’s attempt
to build up a sort of Hayes Whig
parly at the South is about as sensi
ble as the attempt to galvanize a dead
frog into life. The frog’s hind legs
may of course be made to jerk and
kick if the galvanic current be prop
erly applied, but no amount of gaU
vanism can restore the frog to vitali
ty after he is once dead.—New York

The different editions of The Sun during the
next year will be the same as during the year
that has just passed. The daily edition will oil
week days lie a sheet of four pages, and on
Sundays a sheet of eight pages, or 5C broad
columns; while the weekly edition will he a
sheet of eight pages of the same dimensions
aud character that are already familiar to our
friends.
Tux Sun will continue to be the strenuous
advocate of reform and retrenchment, and of
the substitution of statesmanship, wisdom, aud
integrity for hollow pretence, imbecility, und
fraud in the administration of public affairs. It
will contend for tho government of the people
by the people and for the people, as opposed to
government by frauds in tlie ballot-box and in
the counting of votes,!, enforced by ^military
violence. It will endenvor to supply'its readers
—a body now not far from a million of souls—
with the most careful, complete, aud trustworthy
accounts of current events, and will employ for
this purpose a numerous and carefully selected
staff of reporters aud correspondents. Its re
ports from Washington, especially, will be full,
accurate, and fearless; und it will doubtless
continue to deserve and enjoy the hatred of
those who thrive l>y plundering the Treasury or
by usurping what the law does not give them,
while it will endeavor to merit the confidence of
the public by defending the rights of the people
agaiust the encroachments of unjustified power.
The price of the daily Sun will be 55 ceuts a
month or $6.50 a year, post paid, or with the
Sunday edition $7.70 a year.
The Sunday edition alone, eight pages, $1.20
a year, post paid.
The Weekly Sun, eight pages of 50 broad
columns, will be furnished during 1877 at the
rate of $1 a year, post paid.
Tho benefit of this large reduction from the
previous rate for tho Weekly can he cujoved by
individual subscribers without tlie necessity ot
making up clubs. At the same time, if any of
our friends choree to aid in extending our circu
lation, wc shall be grateful to them, und every
such person who sends us leu or more sub
scribers from one place will be entitled to one
copy of the paper for himself without charge.
At one dollar a year, postagi paid, tlie expenses
of paper and printing are barely repaid; and,
coi sidcringthc size of the sheet and the qualitv
of its contents, wc are confident the people wifi
consider The Weekly Sun the cheapest news-
payer published in the world, aud we trust also
one of the very best.
