Mitchell, who will represent the 7th senatorial district, coinpo-cd of tlie counties of Thomas, Brooks and Coi<|uitt, will he n candi date for president of the senate. The next senator from this district is well known, having been for many years Solicitor General of the Southern cir cuit, nnd having served n term in the 8mate, four years ngo, where he took position in tho front ranks of that body. Though a mere youth he responded to his country’s call iu lSfil.and serv ed with distinction throughout the war, staining the battle field ofChica- maugn with his blood, and only sur rendering when the. banner of the Lost Cause went down in defeat, to rise no more, llis record in the sen ate, where his every vote was in fnvor of tho toiling masses, and against trusts, combines and grasping corpo rations, will now commend him to the people. He is a fine parliamentarian, familiar with the rulesand proceedings of the souatc; and ho is brainy, cultur ed, genial, and the soul of honor nnd integrity.

His record, hqth ip public and private life, is with out spot or blemish. Such a man is Robert G. Mitchell, the next senator from the seventh district; and the man whom this section places before the stnte as a suitable president of the next senate of Georgia.

An Interesting Occasion. That was a delightful gathering at the residence of Mr. L. S. Morris, on Monday evening, the occasion being the presentation of the silver tea set to Mr. Morris,by the engineers of the S., F. & W. Ry., ns a token of their esteem. Mr. Peter McDonald, a popular young engineer, made the presentation speech. His remarks were appropriate, aud showed in what high regard and brotherly love Mr. Morris was held. In accepting the token, Mr. Morris’ voice trembled with emotion as he ex pressed his appreciation of the gift. As he expressed it, the hardest words he had to say, were to bid his old friends good by. After the presentation nnd accept ance were over, champagne was brought out, and the guests present drank to his health, wealth anil pros perity in his new home. Among the plensant features of the evening was the music anil singing by Miss Odessa Morris. When the pleasant evenings enjoyment came to a close, tho “good-byes” said and the guests departed for their dif ferent homes, it was with a wish that it might las their good fortuue to again, some day, have Mr. and Mrs. Mortis for their hosts.

Wc nre working for the public good. Sho.vv your appreei ation by, at least, subscribing for the J ) AP s 'i\ A Constitutional Convention. The state ot Mississippi is holding a constitutional convention. Numerous plans are being proposed to insure the continued supremacy of the white race. The Macon Telegraph says: “The Mississippi constitutional con vention, now in session, will certainly make some decided changes in the fundamental law of that common wealth. One of the most striking propositions yet brought forward pro vides for the extension of the right of suffrage to women who have certain property qualifications nnd upon male minors over 1G who possess certain property and educational qualifica tions. The number of disqualifying crimes will probably be increased and a longer residence in the stato and county required of voters. A lnrger compulsory poll tax and the Austra lian ballot"system may also be adopt ed. At nny rate the new constitution will be in many essential respects quite different from the one now in force.” Grant’s Burial Place. New York claimed the privilege of burying General Grant and promised to erect a magnificent monument to his memory Grant was buried there, but the monument has never materi alized. The following’ resolution was adopted by congress last week : “That congress desires the removal of the remains of the illustrious soldier and statesman, Ulysses S. Grant, to and tiieir interment in the Arlington National cemetery, and that the pres ident be requested to convey to the widow of this eminent man such desire, and tendering to her, on behalf of the nation, all necessary facilitcs for such removal and inter ment.” It looks as if the government in tends to take charge of the matter, by transferring the body to Arlington and then putting up of a suitable mon ument to the dead soldier’s memory.
