COVINGTON, GA., APRIL 9, 1S89.
WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
Woman suffrage is on a boom in
Kansas.
The women also bold municipal
office in that state.
Last year the town of Oskaloosn,
which was an insignificant place,
cleclod females to the offices of may¬
or and city council.
The people thought they were
perpetrating a huge joke upon the
strong minded women who were
running for the offices. But they
were disappointed.
The women were elected and took
charge of the town. They at once
“turned over a new leaf,” in muni¬
cipal affairs, and instituted reforms
of every sort. They' literally and
emphatically “cleaned up the town."
They soon oponod the eyes of tbo
old fogies and pompous lords of cre¬
ation by the vigorous manner in
which they administered the affairs
of the town. But when the eyes of
the old fogies were opened, they saw
it would not do to kick against the
new order of things. And so they
acted with wise discretion—and sub¬
mitted,
Tbe ladies soon found themselves
masters of the situation. Last week
the women were re-elected to tbo
same offices by large majorities.
A neighboring town also fell into
line, and elected a mayor and coun¬
cil composed of females.
At Leavonwortb, the contest was
a hot one. The women worked at
the polls like regular, old time poli¬
ticians. Several of them engaged in
bloody fights and rows, and one w*s
reported shot.
Four thousand womon aro aniJ t,
have gone to the polls and voted f!c
Leavenworih city.
But we hope the women suffragists
will all stay in Kiyisaa. We never
want to witness such scenes about
the ballot boxes in Georgia, as have
been reported from Kansas. It is
degrading enough for the men ; but,
for the Georgia women, it will nev¬
er do.
Sight Man in the Sight Place.
The new reporter, a calm, truth
ful looking man of respectable mid¬
dle age, brought in his account of
the inauguration. He estimated tho
threng around the capitol at about
154.000. 000said there were about
150.000. 000 men in the procession,
which was S95 miles long, and
■witnessed by a countless throng of
765.000. 000 of people.
i i For mercy’s sake,” gasped the
night editor, “what did you used to
do before you came on this paper?”
“Lived in the observatory at Sirus
University,” replied the new man.
“I am an astronomer. >1

The Rev. Dr. Scott, futb«r of Mrs.
Harrison, still remains at his desk in
the pension bureau. His daughters
and tbs president himself, bays
tried to make him believo that there
is no longer any necessity lor h s
continuing to work, But he cannot
be induced to surrender his position.
Shortly after the election, Mrs. Har¬
rison wrote to her father, asking
him to resign, and saying that, as
soon as they came to Washington,
she would expect him to live at the
white house, Tbe letter was accom¬
panied by a note from Gen. Harri¬
son, who made tho same request,
and was written in such a cordial
strain as to leave no doubt of its
aincerity. But tbe old gentleman
wrote to bis daughter, saying that
while he should be glad to be a fre¬
quent visitor at the white house, he
could uol think of spending the re¬
mainder of bis days in idleness. So
every day Dr. Scott reaches his
desk at the pension office, and works
as faithfully as any other clerk in
the office. Wo »dmire the manly in¬
dependence of the venerable Dr.
Scott.
Paris will spend ten million dol¬
lars on her great exposition, and it
will bo money well invested, for it
will attract people from all parts of
the world, and will open new mar¬
kets to her enterprise.

FROM TENNESSEE.

The S. S. S. Co., Atlanta, Ga.
Gentlemen—Four years ngo I was
a resident of Des Moines, Iow^i, and
while there contracted blood poison.
I had a remarkable strong constitu¬
tion, and that, with, the aid of an
eight months’ sojourn at Hot Springs
curod mo—at least, I thought it cur,
ed me. This spring pimples appear¬
ed upon my face, and my general
health began to giro way. f at once
attributed it to the old trouble, and
was thinking of another trip to Hot
Springs, when a friend recommend¬
ed your medicine instead. I began
to take it, but must say, with some
doubt. This was soon dispelled, my
general health improved and the
pimples disappeared, and now I feel
myself again.

Hawkes! Wonderful Glasses,
As we read Mr. Hawkes’ testimonials
from Governors, Senators, Legislators,
men of science and distinguished citi¬
zens throughout the United States, who
testified to having had their eyes im¬
proved, and sometimes restored, by the
use of his celebrated glasses, vve realize
that a glass that will reflect such bril¬
liancy of light as to enable the wearer to
see as in youth, and to read by candle
or other artificial light, surely is to be
desired by all spectacle wearers.
