The Hoke Smith men and the Joe/
Brown men have been holding meet
ings, with eloquent and stirring speak
ers to address the voters. The voters
laid aside their business, attended,
whooped and shouted for their respec
tive favorites as if their whole happi
ness and prosperity were at stake and
that the grass would cease to grow and
the sun and moon cease to shine if their
favorite candidate was not elected.
Now, the thing is about over, and it is
hoped that returning sanity and friend
ly feeling will predominate and control
men and their reason. There has been
enough prevarication in this eampaign
to make Ananias ashamed of himself.

operation.

to make a show that will be a credit to
our county. Anyone having any fine
products will be paid well for same.
We don’t ask for donations, but wish to
pay full value and over for all we re
ceive. Those who have anything extra
fine can have them entered for a prize.
We will see to everything and divide
the premiums. There will be two ex

PREDICTIONS.
The Atlanta Journal predicts 40,000
majority for Hoke Smith, on signed
partizan statements, elaiming counties
known to be tor Joe Brown,
The Macon Telegraph says Joe Brown
will be elected by 20,000 majority, and
will carry 80 counties, giving the names
of the counties,
The Savannah News, a conservative,
non-partizan paper, gives a lengthy
gathered report that che race will be
close, with the indications pointing to
a majority of 10,000 or 15,000 for Brown.
l A NOISY CROWD.
| We are glad that Marietta iz not filled
'but once a year with the noisy crowd of
negroes and venders of vietualg at lunch
stands, and ‘‘snake eaters,’”’ ag charae
terized the Federal decoration day last
Saturday.
- The white people in sympathy with
‘the day observe thia occasion with re
! spect due the dead, but the *‘colored
‘contingent’’ made it a day of frolie,
boisterousness, dancing, base balling,
like a picnie, or a ‘‘midway show.”
They do not have any appreciation of
the sentiment back of Decoration day,
nor show any respect for those who do.
The attendance, Lowever, here Satur
day was very small, the smallest of any
attendance rince the day was inaugu
rated.

SAD TALE OF A MOTORIST.
There was a man of modest means,
But inclinations gay,
Who sold a corner lot and bought
A motor car one day.
He closed his buginess up to ride
Within the big machine,
And parted with his diamond ring
To buy the gasoline.
Before, along the country roads
The sumac lit its tires,
He put a mortgage on his house
To purchase rubber tires;
And next he auctioned off his beds,
His tables and his chairs,
To give the car a coat of 901
And make some slight rep i
But speeding in the early dusk,
Without his lamps alight,
A man in blue and brass appeared
And stopped his dizzy flight.
He didn’t have a single cent
To pay the fine imposed :
They took the auto for the debt,
And so the tale was closed.
