no party and wearing no collar. It fig ts for princi

especially devotes its energies to the exposure of
the great corruptions that now weaken and disgrace
our country, and threaten to undermine republican
institutions altogether. It lias no Tear of knaves,
and asks no favors from their supporters.
It reports the fashions for the ladies and the mar
kets for the men, especially the cattle-markets, to
which it pays pays particular attention.

Woman’s Happy Smile.
There Is a ray that cheers the heart,
Relieves it for a while,
Though sorrow crush it e’er so low;
’Tis woman’s nappy smile.
When time Is wished to pass with speed,
What can the hours beguile,
And make them pass without regret,
Like woman's happy smile f
If friends forsake, if fortune frown.
And thoae we loved revile,
Still we’re not frienless if we own
a woman’s happy smile.
And when life’s journey nears it end.
She’s there, devoid of guile;
But in those scenes her heart is such
She cannot, cannot smile.
A Bright Thought.
Life was thill—life was very dull for
Jack Gerald. A bright, active, well
cultured young fellow, set down by
fate in the dullest and most common
place of iittle towns, and chained there
by tli 3 inexorable necessity for earn
ing his living. The idea was odious.
It was raining; the sky was dull, the
streets misty, the plank sidewalks
slippery with slime. There was a
horse mired at the corner; an alarm
of tire breaking out, and no engine in
the place.
Jack sulkily adjusted bis cravat as
iie looked out at the window upon this
state of things as existing at Homer.
What if the horrible little new place
burned down, wouldn’t it be a good
thing ? No, tout would not do. He
must work or starve, a.d be bad been
appointed to a very good situation in
this objectionable place, this distaste
lul new Western town. He took his
bat and went down to tbe office, the
telegraph post of which be was opera
tor.
Dismal day —bare, chilly—be was
so tired of it ! This sort of thing
wasn’t living, it was existing after tbe
most meagre fashion.
The freight agent came i i, whist
ling. Will Rosely was always whist
ling, but then Rosely bad a pretty
wife and a cottage home of his own
all paid for, a neat nest of a place set
in n'ice green lawns and shaded by
trees.
“Is ty, Geralil, you’re going to lose
youi p’tit'e !”
Rosely stopped whistling to say
this.
“What do you mean ?” asked Jack.
“D icy, the superintendent, is going
to put his niece in here—Mary Dacy
—my wife knows her. She had a let
ter from Mary herself. She says she
has been learning telegraphy and has
been appointed to this place. Your’e
to be set aside for the present.”
Jack grew angry immediately.
“So much for the equality of sexes !
What if I had a family, now? Sup
port for half a dozen children cut off
for a slip of a girl! But I dout believe
it s' true.
“You wilt,” rejoined Rosely, conise
ly-
Sure enough he did.
In three days he was .turned out of
his place to make room for Miss Mary
Dacy, the niece of the superintendent.
The young lady arrived and Jack pre
pared to take his departure.
For he intended departing, of
course. Whither he hardly knew.
There was no other appointment
ready for him. An alarming situation
—a rainy day, in earnest.
And now Homer —poor little Ho
mer. looked desirable. It was anew
place, and he was anew man He
bad bis fortune to make. He had
come West from the worn out acres of
his ancestral home, with this end in
view. His grumbling and discontent
looked very foolish now- Hu had
been well off
Of com si
‘•To all some rain must fall,
Some dtiye must be dark and dreary ”
and he ought to have been plucky and
better satisfied while be was doing
well.
f'What a fool !” mentally anathema
tizing himself. He only wished lie
had lost bis situation, be would ask
nothing better for the present, lblt
there was no use for regrets, he would
try not to whine. And he wouldn’t
treat Miss Dacy like a bear. He
would go down and say good-by to
her. She had been polite to him.
So he walked down to the office in
the Spring sunshine. As he entered
the door the familiar clicking made
him a little home-sick.
Miss Mary Dacy was employed with
the reception of a message. She was
a slight little tiling, with silky braids
of her own natural hair and some bits
of curls hanging above her eyes. But
a more dignified little lady be bad
seldom seen. She understood her
business, too, iudisputably.
When she was at leisure, sho turn
ed and spoke to him.
“I called to bid you good-by. lam
going East in the morning,' said
•Irek
Miss Dacy did not speak. She looked
troubled. Jack colored a little; he
thought she wasproud.
But suddenly she* looked up, with
sweet, regretful eyes.
“Mr. Gerard, it seems very hard
that you should be turned out of your
situation. You see I know how
it is.” /
Jack did not know what to reply.
‘,l am very sorry,” she murmured.
“I need the place,” said Jack,
bluntly.
“And I need tlie place, too,” she
murmured, earnestly. “And I am a
lone woman.”
“Women ought not to be doing
public service, they ought to betaken
care of!” exclaimed Jack.
“By whom ?”
‘ By their husbands.”
“But I haven’t any husband.”
They looked straight at each other.
Miss Dacy a little indignant, Jack a
little'frightened by what he had said.
But through the alarm and bewil
derment and pain of the moment,
Jack saw how very sweetly pretty
Mary Dacy was, and—Jack had a
bright thought—he nerved himself,
and took a#tap in tbe dark.
“Miss Dacy, you might have a hus
band. Will you marry me V”
Mary Dacy looked at him penetra
tingly. He had a handsome manly
face of his own, had Jack. He heard
In r catch her breath; but then her
answer came calmly.
“Possibly 1 might.”
Jack did not leave Homer. The
next week he was reappointed. He
is there now. Mary Dacy is his wife.
Wasn’t' it a bright thought ? For they
are both so happy !
Meeting of the Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee.
Atlanta, Ca., July 1, 1574.
Executive Committee met at ten a.
rn„ Colonel Hardeman in the chair,
and the following gentlemen wire
found to be present: Hon. Augustus
Reese, Hon. James H. Hunter, Hon.
11. Fielder, Col. Mark Blanford, Hon,
L. N. Trammell, Col. John L. Harris.
Col. J. C. Nicholls, Hon. J. H. Chris
ty, Hon. Thus. G. L .wsod, Col. I. IV.
Avery, and Col. J. S. Boynton.
The Chair stated that the principal
object of the call of the meeting was
to prevent nominations before the ad
journment. of Congress.
The Chair announced the appoint
ment of Hon. Martin J. Crawford, to
till the vacancy in the Columbus Dis
trict. He read a letter from Colonel
Crawford stating that he was unable
to attend, and appointing Col. Mark
Blanford to act for him. There being
no objection lie took his s at.
It was stated by the Chair-that in
several oi the Congressionaf Districts
there was no Executive Committee,
and suggested that some action should
he taken.
Colonel Blanford moved the call of
a State Convention. The motion was
discussed in a conversational manner,
and finally decided in the negative.
Ci louel Trammell moved that the
Chairman be instructed to issue an
address, embodying tbe views of the
committee. The Chairman stated that
he had prepared a brief statement of
the polltictil situation, which he read.
Col. lteese moved that the state*
mint be adopted as tbe action of the
committee. Unanimously carried.
7b the Democratic Parly of Gear (fa:
You are soon to engage in another
election for the control of your State.
Your recent victories should not make
you over confident of success. The
opposition are thoroughly organized
for the conflict, are your forces ready
for the field? Is there union and har
mony in jour ranks? Union is suc
cess, division is defeat. Select good
men, able men to lead you and give
them a united, cordial, hearty sup
port - Be not divided by local issues,
beware of jealousies arising from
“claims overlooked” “stocked conven
tions” and personal prejudice. These
are weapons furnished by a skillful en
emy to break your ranks and defeat
vour cause. Look with distrust upon
“peoples tickets,” citizens ‘candidates’
when brought forward in opposition
to your regular nominees. They are
subterfuges generally of disappointed
aspirants, who are used by the oppo
sition to defeat your organization.
We cannot afford to destroy or weak
en the Democratic party. It has res
cued the State from Radical misrule;
it has broken the alliance that existed
between power aud crime ;it has check
ed the system of public plnurler, which
was driving our people to bankruptcy
and min; it has restored the control
of the government to the virtue and
intelligence of the State. It has given
Georgia a position in the Union be
yond that of her unfortunate sisters
of the South. Will you, relying upon
your mojority. grow listless and un
concerned ? Remember bleeding
South Carolina. Will you split into
petty jealusies, and endanger your
$2.50 A YEAR.
suceoss? Think of down-trodden
Louisiana. Will you, by a thirst for
position and place, distract and di
vide your forces ? Look at plundered
Florida and determine that in this
contest, patroitism shall guide your
actions, and love of State shall con
trol your aspirations and your hopes.
Your defeat is Radical rule, and Rad
ical rule is oppression, civil rights
bills, social degradation, plunder and
bankruptcy. Your success gives as
surance of constitutional government,
enforcement of law and maintenance
of rigid. The cause is worthy of your
efforts; its success should be the da}’-
star of your ambition. Individual le
sponsibility >s essential to a favorable
termination of the struggle. Let the
campaign be quick, sharp, decisive.
Look well to your nominating con
ventions, see to it that none but men
of integr'ty are offered to the people
for their support.—men who will spurn
the rings; that would raid upon your
Treasury, men who look only to the
interest and honor of the State, and
with such men to bear your standard,
you will command a victory. In tbe
Federal elections there is great need
of action. Indifference before gave
Georgia men in Congress who would
have inflicted upon tbe white people
of the State injuries and insults too
revolting to contemplate. Justice to
yourselves, justice to your children,
justice to peace and good Order, jus
tice to humanity, justice to an igno
rant race they would ruin, under the
guise of friendship, all require of you
action, decisive effort, unceasing labor
to brand these men with the seal of
condemnation and remove them from
a position they have degraded. Men
of Georgia, the issue is with you—it
is big with consequences. Do your
duly and all will be well with you and
yonr noble old States, Respectfully
submitted,
•Thos. Hardeman, Ja.
Chairman Bern. Ex. Corn.
Introduced by Col. Fielder:
Resolved, That tbe Democratic par
ty of this State be earnestly requested
to organize thoroughly in every coun
ty, so as to secure perfect harmony
and united action, and the earnest co
operation of every voter in the party.
That we urge upon every voter of the
party to see to it, that lie be legally
qualified to vote, and upon tbe tr.ann
gers of elections to see to it, that the
law of the State carried prohibiting
illegal voting is rigidly enforced.
Introduced by Colonel Avery and
amended as follows:
Resolved, That the Democratic par*
ty in the Congressional Districts that
have no District Executive Committee
be recommended to hold Congress
ional conventions where the last Con
gressional Convention convened, and
the said conventions be held in the
Fourth ou the 2d Wednesday in Sep
tember; in the Fifth, on Wednesday,
the 19th of August; and in the First,
on the first Wednesday iD September,
and in the Eighth, if there be no ac
ting committee, that the convention
be held on the first Wednesday in
September. Carried
Introduced by,Colonel Reese:
Resolved, That we suggest th at the
personal attendance by aspirants for
Congress, upon primareis and county
meetings, for the purpose of election
eering for the nomination, is disre
spectful to tbe delegates, and unbe
coming the dignity of the office
s#Ught. Carried.
Col. Jones resigned as committee
man on account of inability to attend.
Thos. Hardeman, Chairman.
I. W. Avery, Secretary.
Effects of Worry-
That the effects of worry are more
to be dreaded than those of simple
bard work is evident from noting the
classes of persons who suffer most
from the effects of mental overstrain.
The case-book of the physician shows
that it is the speculator, tbe betting
man, the railway manager, tbe great
merchant, the superintendent of large
manufacturing or commercial works,
who most frequentfy exhibits the
symptoms of cerebral exhaustion.
Mental cares accompanied with sup
pressed emotion, occupations liable to
great vicissitudes of fortune, and those
which involve the bearing on tbe mind
of a multiplicity of intricate details,
eventually break down the lives of the
strongest. In estimating what may
be called the staying powers of dif
ferent minds' under hard work, it is
alway necessary to take early train
ing into account. A young man cast
suddenly into a position involving
great care and responsibility, will
break down in circumstances in which,
had be been gradually habituated to
the position, he would have performed
its duties without difficulty. It is
probably for tbis reason that tbe pro
fessional classes generally suffer less
from tbe effects of overstrain than
others. — Chuinber\< Jott^al.
