Hou. W. R. Little, the popular
and able senator from the 31st dis¬
trict,passed through Toccoa Satur¬
day enroute to his home in Carnes
ville for a few days rest from his
legislative duties at the Capitol.
Col. Little is among the most able
members of the State senate, being
on and chairman of a number of
important committees which has
necessarily kept him very busily
engaged. Duty to his constituents
is the first thing with honest “Bill”
Little, consequently this was his
first leave of absence since the
legislature m«?t in October.
There is considerable rivalry
among the citizens of Toccoa just
now, as to who has the largest hog.
Each one thinks his is the largest.
But Swift Davis is the most pro¬
fuse in making claim for his, “He
will not down” when some one
says Frank Mabry has the largest
hog in town, Swift will say, “I
know it, but mine is twice as thick
as Frank’s,” and when somebody
else remarks that Bill Vickery has
the thickest hog in town, Swift
will say,“Oh yes I know, but mine
is the largest. Why” said
Swift in one of his enthusiastic
moods, “when my hog was
swung up it actually looked like a
cow, and if you will show me an¬
other bog in this town or any other
man’s town, that looks like a cow
when it is hungup, I will pour out

A young lady of Toccoa whose
sister was visiting in Hartwell last
Sunday', remarked ort Monday eve
ning: “I know the reason she
didn’t send that package by the
Elberton train today. I heard
that she was out riding all day
yesterday with a young man from
Athens,and she forgot it. That’s
the reason.”
Since the third party of Frank¬

When you need Fine Job Printing,
why not patronize Home Industry,

A sour old bachelor takes a fiendish
delight in calling attention to the fact
that there is one thing women cannot
do anyhow, and that is tie their mas
online cravats. “They may wear ’em,”
be 6ay?i « b ut they can’t tie ’em. I’ve
seen vests on ’em, ’’ ho continued, warm¬
ing np, “that in 10 minutes would drive
a man into imbecility if he had to
wear the like gf them.”
The pension list is beginning to turn
the other way now. So it will be from
this on. The immense sums paid to sol¬
diers of the Union army will not bo a
source of irritation to certain persons
much longer. They have begun to grow
less. This year there were 92,123 fewer
pension claims than there were last year.
Postal trolley cars from cities to their
suburbs and between outlying villages
will soon bo tho common thing. They
wijl greatly facilitate tho distribution
of mails in rural and semirural districts.
The system apparently could bo applied
with advantage to star routes, whoro it
costs $1 a letter to deliver the mails.
A man was lately fined $25 in Chica¬
go for publicly making fun of and
laughing at a lady bicyclist who wore
the bloomer 6 uit on her wheel. If this
woman’s rights business keeps up, the
time will soon come when a man will
not even daro to call his mother-in-law
“the old woman.”
A QuMir AlrituD People.
Strange stories are told of the Dokos,
who live among the moist, warm bam¬
boo woods to tho south of ICaffa and
Susa in Africa. Only 4 feet high, of a
olivo color, savago and naked, they
have no fire. They live only on ants,
mico and serpents, diversified by a few
root 8 and fruits. They let their nails
grow long, like talons, the better to dig
for ants and tho more easily to tear in
pieces their favorite snakes. The Dokos
used to be invaluable us slaves, and they
were taken in large numbers, The slave
hunters used to hold up bright colored
clothes as they oamo to the bamboo
woods, where these human monkeys still
live, and tho poor Dokos could not re¬
sist tbo attractions offered by such su¬
perior people. They crowded round
them and wero taken in thousands. In
slavery they were docile, attached,
obedient, with few wants and excel lent
health. These queer people have one
fault—a love for ants, mice and ser¬
pents and a speaking to Yer with their
beads on the ground and their heels in
tho air. Yer is their idea of a superior
power, to whom they talk in this com¬
ical manner when they are dispirited or
angry or tired of ants and snakes and
longing for unknown food.—Popular
