Running Under Difficulties.
The west hound train on the Georgi 1
railroad came up on Kundav last under
stress of many difficulties.
But it finally reached Atlanta all
rich', although it was a little behind
time.
After the train left Augusta, one of
the cylinder heads of the engine blew
off, and it was run to Union Point with
only one side of the engine working.
At Union Point a freight engine was
secured, which brought the train to
Covington, when it became disabled.
The engine of the accommodation
train was then hitched on, but owing to
its being a small ore, it was with l*DJL
siderabie diffi--iilty the train succeeded
in reachir,g Atlanta.
It was, howevei, only two hours late.

anti no a he is goi ig to have a b tided ware¬

of Atlanta. Yes, sir, our Lon knows a thing
or two. One of them is how to get offices He
has so many constituents here in office that it
is difficult for him to remember them all. »t
It is a Mystery.
It is a curious fact not generally known
to our jieople, hut ii is nevertheless true,
that the ground about the spot w lieie
the hotly of the late W G. Jones was
found, after he was assassinated some
six years ago, is perfectly Darren and
clean, and has been so ever since that
terrible event occurred.
The place is in tiie woods, and the
identical spot where the body lay is
marked with a stake, Around t li its
stake lor a distance of front eight to
twelve feet, no grass or weeds have
grown since that time, neither has there
been any accumulation of leaves or
ottier trash upon it from the surround¬
ing trees, although the ground all about
it is covered with them.
In fact, the ground on which the body
lav w hen found is as clean as if it was
swept with a broom, and is as barren ot
grass anti weeds as the middle uf a pub
lie sireet.
Now the question is: What is he
of iiis singular phenomenon •> 7
cause
Why is the spot barren, and why is it
the leaves falling from the surrounding
trees do not settle upon it the same a
they do all around it? Wtoucan teh ?
The Stab does not believe it is a su¬
pernatural occurrence, but must admit
that it is rather singular and mvsteri Us
that iintl.ii g grows ■ >r remains upon tba
particular spot.

It Provides
Employment as well as Educates.
It is a fact that the harder the times,
the greater the necessity for young men
and women to have a business education
if they would secure, or retain, good po
sitions, Tliis paper knows of no insti¬
tution anywhere offering advantages for
so thorougly practical a training at such
small expenses as the Georgia Business
College, of Macon Ga. Indeed it will
supprise any one, who will write for
particulars, to find how small the ex¬
pense of a course is; for there a busi¬
ness education is placed in the reach of
the poorest person in the land; and fur¬
ther still, all graduates are helped to
good positions without any charge, what¬
ever.
The facts about the magnitude and
methods of this college are a revelation
to any one, and readily account for its
having distanced all competitors.

OFFER
TO BE
WITHDRAWN
1 ■mm r
,v

t&i"'

To Our Readers:
It is with reluctance we announce that o ir
famous Britannica offer must now be withdrawn.
From the day of the first announcement of our
liberal proposition tojhe present day, this
interpose ha; proven a continual succession
of surprises to The Constitution management.
That the offer of such an unrivaled literary
production on such unparalleled terms should
Create somewhat of a commotion in literary
circles was of course to be expected, but the
actual results have been so far beyond our
most sanguine expectations that The
Constitution must confess that in this
fartcular instance its prophetic powers have
proven very inaccurate. Up to the present
writing fifteen car.’oads of Encyc fop.edia
Britannica have been delivered to Constitution
subscribers and more are now on the way to
fill orders a.ready booked.
The enterprise at the start took on the
form of an educations crusade, which like all
educational movements jfrew by geometric
ratio. From ali parts of this great state, from
Alabama. Florida, the Carolina*. Tennessee,
Mississippi. Louisiana. Arkansas. Texas.
Indian Territory, Oklahoma Territory, New
Mexico and Old Mexico, anJ from many uf
the Northern States, m»n who had Ion ’
coveted this "F.pitome of the World's
Knowledge'’ hastened to senJ in theii orders;
pleased with the ^reaf prize they found so
easily within their grasp, they naturally tol6
their friends, who likewise scired rhe
opportunity, and in turn, toid their friends,
and so the good word was carried,
beyond the regular circulation o* t
The Constitution, until many who had not
tven known before of the existence of this
Universal Educator were, through the aid
The Constitution, enab ed to bring its
•ievatlng a?td r. in2uen:e iato the if
•wn homes.
Right here is where The Constitution has
rwaped its only financial return for it* heavy
expense o.* carrying on the business of this
department. It is in the large number ot tut i
subscriptions to the paper obtained from
(hose who become subscribers that they m jy
avail th.vr.xelves of the special arrangement
whereby Constitution subscribers save from'
•at to $*5 on the price of the set.
There is a Jauble reason therefore wf»> Tl*
Constitution is reluctant to withdraw this
proposition just at a time when it seems to
have reached the summit of success. In the r
first place the fact that more orders are now ,
coming In daily than at any previous time
during the history of the offer it evidence
that many thousands more would be benefited
j by The Constitution’s reduced rates If the
offer were to be continued indefinitely;
besides The Constitution la loath to give up
what has proven an effectual way of increasing
Us extensive family of readers.
But we have no choice in the matter, for
the special contract w!th the Britannica
publishers, which enabled us to make our
Encyclopedia proposition will expire on
Monday, the »4th day of this month, and after
that date subscribers to The Constitution,
like atl others, wust pay full retail price to*
Britannica.
Those of our readers who sritf wish tw d
supply their homes wi»h this invaluable
reference library should send in 'heir
applications at once.
Respectful
The Constitution
