An Honest Boy.
Yesterday Mr. L. Graves; of
Indiana, who is here for the win
ter, bad occasion to use one of the
little colored boys that- are always
to be seen on the streets for a few
minutes and paid him, he thought,
three copper cents. Some time
later he discovered that he had
given the boy a five dollar gold
piece, thinking it a copper. He
did uot know the boy’s name and
didn't even remember how he
looked, so concluded that he was
out the five dollars. He had just
about made ug his mind to this
when the boy walked up to him on
the street and handed him the
gold piece. Mr. Graves was
naturally very much surprised at
this exhibition of honesty on the
boy’s part aud rewarded him for
it. We publish this because al
most everybody considers these
little street arabs dishonest, and
absolutely untrustworthy. This
boy, whose name is Julius Jeffer
son, has shown that there is at
least one boy who can be trusted
Julius Jefferson can always get
a job, for honest boys are always
in demand. It is with pleasure
tnat we hold him up as au exam
ple to other boys. It always pays
to be honest, boys. The motto
that “honesty is the best policy,’
should never be lost sight of or
forgotten.
Since the cold weather has set
in tramps have commenced tour
ing southward. A good many of

freight train. One of the tough
est looking specimens of the hobo
we have ever seen struck the city
yesterday afternoon. His rag
ged, dirty, iinkem. t emdition at
tracted the attention of every
body.
Hon. R. A. Connell, ot Decatur
is in the city. Mr Connell is the
gentleman who made himself fa
mous, when a member of tbe
Georgia legislature, by introduc
ing a bill to tax bachelors. We
nave never quite forgiven him for
it yet. But he is all right, and
always ready to talk up Whigham
and the grand old coimty of De
catur.
The Atlanta Jourua' now arrives

seven o’clock. Tne fire started in
the kitchen and spread rapidly to
the main house. Nearly all of the
furniture and household effects
were saved though iu a damaged
condition. The department turn
ed out promptly, but the fire was
so far out and there being no wa

rance, but we were unable to learn
the amount last night.
