The survivors of the fourth Georgia
will have their sixth annual reunion on

selected as the place for the meeting.
The little man who occupies the
white house has been weighed at.d
lipped the beam at 193 pounds. This
is nearly pure flesh and bone, he is too
cold to have much blood, and lias
shown that he has no heart or brains
to speak of.
Congress has been in session nearly
nine months now and if they have
done anything for the good of H e
country we have failed to discover it
in the proceedings, and yet they con
tinuc ta stay there and may remain
till time lor the next session to begin.
The friends of Mr. Wiley W. Groo
ver, are pained to learn of his ex
treme illness. He was stricken with
pralysis a few days ago, and his re
covery is not expected. Mr. Groover
was oue of the most successful farmers
and highly esteemed citizens ot Brooks
eounty.
Col. Dan Hughes who started out
to capture Mr. mount’s seat in Con
gress is complaining .because the
nominating convention was fixed for
Aug. 6, and as he did not announce
his candidacy until July 22, he had
only two weeks lor electioneering, lie
calls it gag-law, an outrage and ads-
grace to democracy. Alt, colonel, the
late bird does not breakfast on the
worm.—Savannah Times.
The invention by which writing can
be transferred from paper to iron
the work of a boston man, who has
invented a hard inte with which he
writes (backward) upon ordinary
paper. The paper is placed in a mold,
melted iron is poured in, and when
the hardened iron is removed it is
found that, while the heat burned away
the paper, it did not affect the ink,
but left the impression of the wtiling
molded into the iron. This discovery
was made by noticing one day that
the printing on an ordinary handbill
that by accident had fallen into the
mold was taintly transferred in this
way.
■
To Colonize Negroes.
Sr. Louis, August 5.—J. Milton
Turner, an attorney, will leave for
New York to-day to arrange the de
tails of his plan for colonizing negroes
in Mexico. He says the plan is being
promoted by a firm ot coffee dealers
in New York, who have a capital ol
about $5,000,000. The purpose of
the firm, .he said, yesterday, is to put
negroes to raising coffee and sugar.
They own about 21,000,000 acres of
land, which will be divided among the
colonists. No rental will be charged
for tbc; land, and the firm will furnish
all the means ol support for the negroes
till they can get their grounds under
cultivation and become self sustaining.
They are willing to spend $2,000,000
to $3,000,000 in that way.
The First Step.
A judge at Troy has held that the
baby carriage is a public nuisance,
and fbe mother pushing it around is
liable , to apest, and one at Oswego
hat given a citizen $15 damages for
being run into and having his shins
barked by a vehicle containing a red
headed baby.
An Eloquent Apostrophe to Her
Many Personal Charms.
[ \\\ .1. Hampton in New York Worbl.]
The Summer Girl, born of the south
wind and the June sun, she flits, a
dainty, rosy, dimpled apparition, clad
111 gowns that disclose and yet conceal
her myriad charms, across the leaf-em-
bo wired stage of summer.
Wayward and capricious as are the
firc-fi ex of a summer night, she beck
ons and we follow. Rare product of
the summer season, she stands alone
among her sex. A mermaid at Narra-
gansett, a dryad at Richfield and a
nymph at Wlme Sulphur, she changes
her mood and tense to suit the woods
or sea. All lui 1 , the Summer • jirl!
We fear her and we love her!
flow like that rare Mosaic portrait
this! How true the tints and shades
that touch this fairest being ot the
world; this symphony in gingham,
when the sun doth stand atop the hills;
this harmony in cloudlul, misty tulle,
wit n night comes on and hangs her
lantern in the sky ! ..I! hail, the Sum
mer Girl, the fluffy flower ol June, the
sweet rosebud ol ail the year; the sea
son's charm, the dear ideal of a day
that, when the winter twilight falls,
lades into darkness and is gone.
Ephemeral sweetness born to live so
short a time, it needs must be that in
th s little span a world of loveliness
must be enclosed, else would there be
no summer girl. She is the child of
bird songs and of flowers ; a gay and
gladsome sprite that floats upon a wave
of plaits and futbeiows, of tucks and
flounces, of parasols and fans, and
with a blue eyed smile, a kiss high-
tilted on her finger tips, a nod as if a
sunbeam bent to touch a rose, a cherry
nord, a laugh, contagious as are
Cupid’s pains, a whispered sigh, an
eyelid drooping to the tone of tender
swain, she trips fantastic through the
months and takes the sunlight with
her when she goes.

One of the South Carolina Candi

Columbia, S. C,, July 31.—Samuel
Colgatt, an ambit ous office-seeker of
lulgtfteld county, makes the following
unique announcement of his candidacy
through the columns of a local paper:
To the Good People of Edgefield:
Tnc wind bloweth where it listeth
and no man cm tell whence 11 comes
or whither it goeth, but I am not that
kind of a cat. I am a Ben Tillman
cat, and, if elected county commis
sioner, propose to reform, beautify,
adorn, resuscitate, rejuvenate and re-
habflitatc Edgefield county from the
edge of the water up to the top of the
rocks. I am a laboring man and haul
wood. If not elected I can haul on.
I would say more, but I am a man of
few words and full of trouble.—New
York Herald.
SAID IT FOR A HOAX.
But the Common Law Stepped in
and Hoaxed Him-
Society in Lincoln, Neb-, is some
what torn up over the sensational situ
ation in which John Shultz, a hand
some and wealthy druggist, finds him
self.
Several days ago it was announced
by Schultz that *he had married Mrs.
B.dford, a charming widow employed
at the Bond hotel, and he publicly in
troduced her as his wife. The lady
was congratulated by all her friends
upon her remarkably lucky capture.
Schultz announced to-day that the
marriage was a joke and a hoax, but
the lady will not listen to this. She
admits that there was no marriage cer
emony, but since he has publicly ac
knowledged her as his wife the act
constitutes a common law marriage
and she is his wile. She has appealed
to the courts to support her claim.
The merchants of Macon and other
cities in Georgia are already agitating
the state fair to he held in October.
It is said that President Northen has
received numerous letters promising
exhibits. The entire state should feel
and exercise a lively interest in thr.
state fair.
