Speaker.
The Southern Express Company
wdl make a fight for Rube Buttons
property. He is said to have left about
$20,000 worth of real estate in Ala
bama. This was willed to his chil
dren.
She had sent off a telegram and was
waiting for an answer. Suddenly the
peculiar halting click of the receiving
machine sounded in the office and she
said to her companion; “That’s from
George, I know. I can tell his stut
ter.” »_
The McKinley tariff excludes for
eign goods, although they can be
bought cheaper by the laboring class
cs, in order that a few manufacturers
in this country may grow rich. These
latter are piling up millions at the ex
pense of consumers. The republicans
ignore the notto: the greatest good
for the greatest number.
The Enquirer Sun says that it every
planter would use eight yards of bag
ging for covering and side strips, and
make the bales only 450 pounds, in
stead of 500, it would make a differ
ence of 15 per cent in the number of
bales marketed, and make $1.66 more
than is now paid for each bale. The
sum total in a crop of 7,000,000 bales,
would amount to $1,743,000, enough,
as the Enquirer-Sun says, “to begin a
little sub-treasury of their own.”
Jit Is now positively known that the
engagement between Miss Winnie
Davis and Mr. Wilkinson, of Syracuse,
N. Y. is broken off. Mr. Wilkinson,
in a breif interview, says the engage
ment was declared off on account of
the failing health of the young lady.
She went to Europe last year, hoping
her health would be restored, but it is
said she received little or no benefit
from her stay abroad. The matter is
purely a personal one, and the news
papers should not be dragging the af
fair before the public, in such sensa
tional style, as some of ■ them have
done.

. We have a communication from
an anonymous source, criticising the
absence of signs to mark the streets.
Our correspondent is mistaken about
several streets bearing the same name.
Thu is not the case. In the main
the complaints are well founded.
The streets should be marked so that
strangers could find their way about
the town with more facility. The
writer concludes thus:
“Label your street corners, so that
even a stranger can find his way
about your sizable town, readily and
correctly, and do you know this adds
not a little to impress strangers that
a placo is of some consequence—even
if it doesn’t have street cars ? It
gives ajmetropolitan air to a place,
you know, and impresses one as not
being in a country town.”
Little Giffln of Tennessee.
Among the exquisite war poems
still .extant is the one with the above
Utfoj by Dr. F. O. Ticknor, of Co
lumbus, Ga. It is a beautiful tribute
to a soldier boy, a boy in years, but a
man in action. The heroism and
devotion of the privates in the late
war has never been properly appre
ciated. Writers, as a rule, are in
clined to laud the epeauletted officers.
Dr. Ticknor has rescued ono private,
the Tennessee boy, %pm oblivion.
Hero are the verses:
Out of the focal and foremost fire, •
Out ol the hospital walls as dire,
(Eighteenth battle and he sixteen !)
Little Giffin of Tcnnessco.
•Take him and welcome," the surgeon said,
“Much your doctor can help the dead.”
And so we took him and brought him where
The halm was sweet on the summer air,
And we laid him down on a wholesome hsd,
Utter Lnisarus. 'ical to head 1
Weary war with bated breath, y
Skeleton boy against skeleton death,
Months of fortune—how many such
Weary weeks of the stick and crutch !
Still a glint in the steel-blue eye
Spoke of a spirit that wouldn’t die.
And did’t—nay more!—in death's despite
The crippled skeleton learned to write:
“Dear Mother,’’ at first, of course, nnd then
“Dear Captain,” inquiring about the “men.”
Captain’s answer: “Of eighty and five,
Giffin and I arc left alive."
•Johnston's pressed at the front, they say|”
Little Giffin was up and away.
A tear, his first, as ho bade good-bye,
Dimmed the glint ol bis steel-blue eye.
“I’ll writo, if spared.” There was nows of
fight,
But none of Giffin ; he didn’t write.
I sometimes fancy that, were I king
Of the princely Knights of the Golden Ring,
With the song of the minstrel in mine car,
And the tender legend that trembles here,
I'd give the best on his bended knee j

His Faith Failed Not.
An old darkey, who waaln the hab
it of teaching a class of unregenerate
boys, had a wean trick played upon
him recently. The boys pasted the
leaves of the .well worn biblo together,
thus breaking the connection of the
atory of the ark. Unconscious of

and so on, “an one wife,” and turning

“Foh de Lawd’s sake! What a wo

glancing wonderingly over the book
at his grinning class. He paused and
pondered over the wonderful dimen

A Missouri Judge’s Special Charge
New Yore, Oct. 14.—A Special
from Kansas City, Mo., says: When
the Circuit Court convened in criminal
session at Lexington, Mo., yesterday,
Judge Ryland, in making his charge
to the grand jury, ordered them espec
ially to investigate the reports that
games of cards for money, known as
progressive euchre and high, five
euchre, were indulged in at private res
idences. He ordered them to return
indiements against all card players,
without regard to sex or social posi-
tion, and declared that he wanted the
violation of the law stopped.
