A Cyclone Opinion*
Several people around Athens
contend that cyclones are caused by
the use of so much iron, electricity
•being generated thereby. There
is no reason in this argument.

"Get ont of here now, pretty lively,’’
said the groceryman to the bad boy, as
he came tn rubbing his hands and trying
to be pleasant. “A boy that will loaf
around here and cat things, and kick
when I ask him to help me sort over po

and the groceryman picked up a link oi
sausage and looked mad.
“O, go hate yourself,” said the boy,
i he drew a knife and cut a slice off the
groceryman’* weapon, and began eating

“Good gracious,” said thegroccryman

A gentleman of Athens tells us

There were those present that night

As for the Jerseys, as'a breed, the’
will alwaysbring good prices, witl
:ry little, if any, depreciation from
hat they now sell'at. . I mean by
this the A. J. C. C. You must re
member that theie are only about
24,000 Jerseys in this country, while
there are as many million of other
breeds; besides, the Island of Jer^
sey, whence* they originally, came,
is almost exhausted, as it is no
larger than the county in which we
live. So it will take yotfs and
years, if they ever come to what yre
call cheap prices. I think, howev
er, that bulls will he much cheaper
I mean by that you c4n buy'a reg
istered bull with no special pedi
lgree at a very reasonable rate. My
reason for saying so, is that there
are about the same per ccntage of
bulls dropped as heifers, and not
one-tenth the demand for them—
hence they must necessarily be
cheaper. Bulls of rare personal
merit, combined with unusual, ex
cellence of pedigree, will always
bring good prices.” .
“What is the average price of
Jersey?” '.
“You can buy bull calves from
$50 to $10,000; heifers from $150 to
$10,000. I should say the average
price would be for a bull $150; for a
heifer $250. At these prices a man
can supply himself with good Jer
seys with - good pedigrees.”

“You can’t do it as long as long as the
fever is on,” said the groceryman. You
have got to watch him, and when he
meet* with defeat or reverse in politics,
then fire some sense into him. But as
long as lie is red hot in a campaign, not h-
ing will stop him. I have seen n poli
tician who. was full of enthusiasm and
beer, fall into the river and drown, and
the police pulled him out and then roll
ed him on a barrel, and pretty soon he
came to and the first thing he said was

You would have thought that man
would quit politics, and try and lead a
different life, but the next day he was
f -nine whooping around, electioneering
n the saloon:, and on the street corners,
with a cork life preserver strapped
around him. He is alive yet, and is »n
alderman. When a man gets into poli
ties it takes possession of him, and wher
ever he is he is getting in Iris work for
his party. There was a ward politician
that I knew once that used to make a
specialty of laboring with the working
men. One day he wason top of n build

Early Settfon.
A'l old gentleman tells us that the
first settlers of this section of Geor
gia found the country wound High
Shoals the most beautiful spot on
earth. AU the undergrowth had
been burned out by the Indians,
only the large timber being left, and
the hills and valleys were covered
with stunted cane. At every step
yon could jump deer, while bears
and rattlesnakes also a sounded.

less these same cultured critics are

benighted condition; but we are

An Indian Pulpit
Near Big Creek church, on the
line of Clarke and Oglethorpe coun
ties, is a large hewn stone, weigh
ing many tons, that is upheld by
four pillars, at a height sufficient to
oermit a man to walk beneath. It
is evidently the • work of hand, as
the tops- of the pillars are chinkea
with smaller stones to level the
slab. The first settlers found it
there, and have always called it
the “Indian- Pulpit.” A gentleman
who has seen this stone says it is
one of the greatest curiosities in
