The local of the Rome Courier grows
poetical over the "sere and yellow leaf
of autumn." A croBS in some love af
fair, or the absence of a button when
the suspender makes bis morning call,
will produce this effect.—Macon Tele
graph and Messenger.
The foregoing is cruel, but its unex
pectedness is more shocking than its
cruelty is cutting. The gentle flow of
modest effort and womanlike tenderness
that has recently lullabied through the
“Georgia Press” column of the Tele
graph might lead one to believe that the
presiding genius of that column would
not make public confession of any ac
quaintance with man’s matutinal per
plexities connected with breeches but-
“The Falling Stats.”
Those who witnessed the grand dis
play of ethereal fireworks, predicted by
Tice, on yesterday morning at 1 o'clock,
will have a tale of wonder to tell to the
rising generations. It will be a pleasant
memory to all who were fortunate
enough to have their vigils rewarded by
the sight to remember how hopefully
they sat out in tho balmy night air, and
looking eastward and upward through
a sky unusually clear, while the planets
so bright marched westward across the
azure heavens with the pleiadee
plainly seen, a.,d seemingly so near
that tho “lost” was often thought to be
found. And then, to see myriads of
glowing balls of varied hues come
streaming from the far off east directly
towards our planet to be suddenly
turned aside by the soft yet successfully
resistant cushion of air that protects our
uorld from those messengers from
strange bourne!

saw the falling stars.
