Today is the latt day of the
first month of the New Year, and
how many resolutions have you
broken? ’Fees up.
So many senators having died
lately we have decided not to be
come a. candidate for that office.
This decision is final.
The Fort Valley;Leader says it
has absolutely no encouragement
to publish a good paper.. Support,
eh, Bro Branham? That shouldn’t
be the case. Merchants of Fort
Valley should stick to the Leader
as never before, for^the local pa
per is any man’s town best friend.

The Augusta Chronicle thinks
that the Lyens verdict indicates
that there is something radically
wrong with our jury system. It is
our judgement that every man on
that jury should be barred from
further jury service. The verdict
was an outrage upon justice.—

Did you ever see a woman throw
a brick at a chicken? It is just
lots of fun—for the chicken. The
woman usually hits herself on the
foot and gets so mad she can hard
ly talk straight, while the chicken
holds its head to one side, softly
clucks and looks as though it won
dered what uuder the sun the fuss
all meant anyhow.—Ex.
Nobody has any plausible reason
to expect something for nothing.
This being true it is impossible for
Butler me.chants to enlarge their

most important factor in the up
building of our town and county.
Mr C A Herrin so far enjoys the
distinction of having in his posses
sion the oldest coin in Millwood
and Ware county. It is a 50c
piece and bears the date “1827.”
If there is any one who knows
whether or not there is a premium
on coins of this date, they will
confer a favor by advising him, as
he desires to know.—Millwood

The editor of the Mound City
Jeffersonian prints the following
letter from a subscriber to w'hom
he had sent an expired subscrip
tion notice: “dear Sir i thought i
would drope you a few lines well
i am no rassell and ame to pay my
onest dets but i under stand that
you cant send papers when i never
send for it 1 understand that there
is a law pasted there can not be no
papers sent and charge for it so i
understand if you dout know the
law you had better look it up.”
It is understood that Felton
Knight, of Cedartown, who ha9
been a messenger to the minority in
Congress for many years, will be
assistant sergeant-at-arms of the
next Congress. He is very pop-
u'ar in Washington and has many
friends over the country who will
be pleased to hear of his probable
promotion. We make note of this
bit of news because of the editor’s
loug acquaintance aud high es
teem of Mr Knight whom we know
to be more than worth of the pro
motion.
What’s the Use?
We are all chasing after that
vain desire called “happiness.”
Happiness is like unto a fleeting
shadow across the pathway of
humanity aud we all are trying to
clasp her to our bosom, but it is
only for a moment and we find
that it is a vain delusion. Hnppi-
uess, if you please, is like unto a
rainbow, it seems so near and yet
so far, we seem almost in easy
reach of it and when there we
find that we are as far away as we
were when we starte, it is like unto
the marriage of the desert, and we
are all rusbiDg across the scorching
sands of time after a delusion that
is only a green speck on the fev
ered minds of time.
Happiness is a momentary state
of human mind, when it is at peace
with all, when it has'just conquer
ed, wheu it is at rest and we are
always trying to get it in that
state.
The congressman, wheu a bare
footed boy, strolls beneath the
spreading trees in springtime,
when the scent of ten thousand
springtime blossoms are in the air,
and his young mind runs loose and
free Imagination takes him luto
flight, he imagines that if he could
be on ten thousand. tongues, that
ht would be happy, that if he could
marry some goddess of beauty and
could hear the ru9 f le of silks and
satins on the approach of life part
ner he would be happy, and thus
he chases this vain delusion to the
end and as be clasps it to his bosom
he finds alas that it vanishes into
nothing. We see him as he re
clines upon the divan, the smoke
curls up to the ceiling from his
cigar, he is meditating, these
thoughts wing him backto the past
aud he wishes he were a hoy again,
or that wheu he was but a country
youth “Who paid his debts and
told the truth,” he had married
the freckle face maid whose hair
was tinged with the sunset’s gold,
who knew how to milch the cows,
who cbewed’the e"d n f h n r apron
when he talked litr,and answer
ed with a shake of her head. “And
she answered no I thank you. From
the corner of her eye.,’
Happiness, ah! happiness, gen
eration after generation has chased
thee aud then hast eluded their
grasp, how loug will mortal man
desire to be thv pursuer? The
answer comes back from every hill,
from every mountain and is echoed
through the valiey of time forever
aud forever.
If it were not for the ever becon
ing Auger of hope, who stands just
ahead of humanity in the pathway
of life and with ever vigilant watch
over us even bids us come just a
little further, and ever
dancing merrily onward
in our pathway, beaconing, bea-
coning, this life would soon be
come chaos and darkness, we would
sit down by the wayside, before
we had passed the first milestone in
life. Hope, where out tby going,
where art thy carrying me, leading
me onward and onward year after
year? We do>ot hear the deris
ive answer of this little imp, on
ward to the grave. Grave why
dost thy bosom yearn to clasp me
in thy imbrace? We hear the
answer. None know but those
whom I have clasped in my etn
brace. Ask no questions of me,
but come hither and ye shall
know. Happiness, Hope and
Grave yon have deluded me long
enough I follow you no more.

Washington Letter.
By John Corrigan, Washington
Correspondent to Atlanta Consti
tution.
Washington, D C—With united
front and closed ranks, a hopeful
spirit and militant zeal the demo
cratic house majority has oiganized
for effective work in revising the
tariff, lowering the cost of living,
and marching onward to gain com
plete control of the national gov
eminent.
The harmony which charterized
the caucus of the democrats elect
ed to the next house, displayed
that get-together spirit for which
the republicans have been noted,
and showed that in the face of
victory and the responsibilities it
entails, the democrats have not lost
their heads.
The narrowness and arrogrance
which characterized a certain coe-
terie of leaders in the beginning
was put aside before the caucus
of the nineteenth, and no wrangles,
dissensions or bickerings marred
the sernity of the evening.
Champ Clark will be the speaker
of the next house, but has been
stripped of all authority aud made
a mere parlimenfary prreiding
officer. The fourteen democratic
members of lbe ways and means
committee will not only framejthe
most important piece of legislation
to be passed during the next two
years—the new Underwood tariff
bill—but will select all the other
committees of the house. In this
power of appointing committees,
they shoulder the responsibility
and assume the authority that has
n times past made the speaker-
ship of the house the second office
in the government.
Georgia will have a spokesman
on the ways and means committee
in the person of Representative
Brantley. In addition to the
committee places now held by
Georgians, the following netv oues
will be sought; Representative
Bartlett^placed oil-appropriations;
Representative Adamson, Chair
man Committee on Interstate Com
merce; Representative-elect Wm
Schley Howard, Labor aud Mili
tary Affairs; Representative-elect
S J Tribble, Foreign Relations.

In case of a burn or scald what
would you doto relieve the pain? Such
injuries are liable to occur in any fam

for them. Chamberlain’s Salve applied
on a sott cloth will rilieve the pain al
most instantly, and unless the injury
is a very severe one, will cause the
parts to heal wfthout leaving a scar

Red Tops and Copper Toes
From the Savannah News.
A Boston story says men an wo
men are going to wear copper-toed
shoes again, not for economy but
for fashion. There is a world of
romance, a library of dream-stories
connected with the old copper toes.
Senator Bacon, and Champ Clark,
and Col “Charlie” Pendleton, and
Deacon Hemphill, and Hoke Smith,
and Tom Watson," and thousands
of the others of us who have be
come famous, retain loving recol
lections of the copper-toed shoes
and the red-top boots that used to
thrill our souls with utmost de
light. There were never more am
bitious mind pictures than those
coojured up by the boys in cop
per toes- If the plain truth were
told, it could possibly be shown
that both Andrew Carnegie and
Pierpont Morgan were warriors in
copper toes, before they became
captains of industry. It is a cinch
that “Little Joe” Brown, of Geor
gia, and Duncan Hayward, of
South Carolina, wore copper toes;
and we wouldn’t mind chancing
the guess that Speaker Cannon
knows about the coppor-toe and
the red-top boot with the gold
eagle stamped on it. Among the
hundred thousand stories told of
Mr Lincoln—most of them of
doubtful authenticity—is one con
cerning bis first pair of red-topped
boots. The point of the story
doesn’t make the slightest - differ
ence. Tne kernel of it was the
boots.
