In debate, his logic sand reasoning were clear, sharp and incisive, his' sarbasm was severe and withering, and his capacity to frame a witty and sarcastic, rejoinder in debate was something wonderful.

The paragrapher of the Atlanta Journal lud a . diamond sunburst, which he was intending to give to his wife ns. a Christmus present, under a Brussels rug in -the rose room, and as bad Tuck would have it she found it. It was a very foolish trick anyway. If he hud just put it in his own private jewel box, it would bnve been safe from discovery. A scheme has been unearthed in connection with the proposed ad mission of the territories of Arizona and New Mexico wherein the notorious Quay, of Pennsylvania, und others o? his henchmen had their plans all nicely lain to make 10ms rich hauls by the admission of these territories into the Union. The schemes were all well formu lated, and if no power to prevent their consummation intercedes in the mutter, this professional boodler and bis shady associates will rake in an enormous sum of money, se cured by trickery and rascality. With her great natural advantages and facilities tor raising her' own beef and for shipment too, south Georgia owes it to herself not to remain at the mercy of the grasping meat trust.

Toney, what are you talking about? You have gone back ten thousand years Into ancient history and delivered 5 yourself of.a most vrvidnndleurned dissertion on the .uncivilized and savage son of the forest; trad the evolution and predestination of the black hued descendant of Ham;and you have searched und scraped the innermost recesses of your cranium for illustrations and parodies, which you have flung at us in such force as to take our breath away. You have even went so far as to - bring the Saviour into the argument, when he has never had a word to say in regurd to the matter. Tell us, dear brother, what are you driving at anyway. If it takes a column for you to explain a little four-iine article, what would you do with a subject'd importance? The Clinch County News asks this timely question: “Why is it that the democratic party, cannot find a leader in the South—in Georgia, the very stronghold of democracy ?" The answer is simple enough. Just ns long us the South remains a solid South, just so long will it fail to furnish a democratic presidential candidate. The south’s vote is assured for any democratic nominee, whether he comes from the north, east, west or. elsewhere, and the politicians know it, .It is not necessary to bait, the -south to secure her vote, and hencethe'south gets no presidential candidate.
