Col. Charlie Baldwin went up to Har-
mony G rove yesterday and sold a good
bill of goods. He is a favorite in the
Ciove, and everybody there likes to
have hitn come. The writer recollects
several years ago when he went to Har
mony Grove to spend the day. Uncle
Solomon Segar and his good wife—both
strict members of the Baptist church—
were keeping the hoteL After working
the town, and selling all the goods that
could be sold, the writer and Mr. Bald
win sat in the parlor of the Segar Hotel,
playing a quiet game of casino. Mr.
Baldwin was possessed of a large roll of
money, and also of one of Smith & Wes
son’s five shooters, which he pulled out
and laid on the table. The proprietor
caino along occasionally to see if there was
anything wrong goingon. With a smile
at.d a merry twinkle in his eye Charlie
said. “Wo will give the house a
racket.”
About this time the head of the house
appeared in the door. The writer
grabbed the money, and Charlie grabbed
the pistol,demanding in stentorian tones
if the money was not given bacK there
would be a murder committed. The
head of the Segar house made tracks
yelling for the police at every jump, and
declared that the house was tilled with a
lot of black-legs who were trving to kill
each other. Mrs. Segar found out the
mistake when she saw Charlie and the
writer walk out the best of friends.

The puzzle in many waya resembles

These who do not desire to pay for
the blocks can easily manufacture * set

The ladies and horses are numbered
from 1 to 8, and the puasle is solved, or

manner. The blocks are placed in the

of these was received this week, and it

Wednesday a gentleman was*standing
on Broad street, quietly putting the
small end of a cigar.A mule standing near
was slapping the Dies with his tail, when
the gentleman in question threw the
stump of his cigar away. This stump
unfortunately landed in the ear of the
mule. The beast shook his head as the
stump commenced to gut ia its work.
The mule's tail straightened in the air.
His left hind leg reached out for some

There is an opportunity, it seems to
me, for the invention of a traveling and
business cost for men which shall neith
er otfend tho eye nor unduly heat the
hack. I am familiar, of course, with the
various devices in the way of seersuck
ers and the like which now do duty in
this respect, hut they are all too undress
and too ugly in appearance. Something
is wanted which would not look amiss on
the occasion of a morning call in the
country, which can be sent to the wash
tul> after a hot and dusty journey, and
which is as cool and comfortable as it
looks. The old-fashioned linen cost was
a deceiver. Its hard and unpenetrable
surface imprisoned the heat, and it waa
almost as unyielding as a cuiras of steel.
Why does not the aspiring and yet chas
tened imagination of come dude lead to
the invention of a coat which shall make

In Dismal, Doleful Doubt.
When the showers came up yestor-
day a certain pedestrian whose jaw
showed great determination, took refuge
in a doorway on Monroe avenue. He
allowed numbers of pedestrians with
umbrellas to pass him’ hut pretty soon
the right sort of a man came along and
he stepped boldly out, extended bis arm
and saiil: “Ah ,you thief but I’ve run
it Ins,I
you down at last: Give me my proper
ty!” “Yes—ah—yes!” summered the
other, as he surrendered it. The man
with the prominent jaw walked up the
avenue as if nothing had happened,
while the other skipped for the vacated
doorway. “Was it his?” queried one
who had witnessed tbe performance.
“That’s what worries me,” replied the
other; “I’m trying to think where I stole
it from!”—Detroit Free Press.

I worked hard, and saved up enough
money to bring me home. But about
this time I fell in love with s' Virginia
girl, and we were married. I have eight
children, and my wife and I concluded
that we would come to Georgia to see if
any of my relatives were living.’’
“Have you mad* the trip in this ox
team?” tbe reporter asked. ,
“Yes, this pair of oxen have pulled us
ail the way from Virginia. W* left tbe
first of April, and have taken it easy,
stopping sometimes for several days
at the cool mountain springs of North
Carolina and Georgia. It ia a cheap way
of tiaveling, but the children get rather
tired of it I expect to find some of my
relatives when I reach Americua, who
will be somewhat surprised to see me
back. I shall stay there until fall, and
then make my way back as I have

Here the oxen began to hunt a shade,
and oue of ths children commenced cry

bade Mr. Kennedy good bye and wished
him a pleasant trip.

of Gantt & Stovall it advocated primary

an election by the white voters, and
since Mr. M. C. l’ope has been its pro

The election of Saturday is conceded

In the future the sentiment of our cit

read as follows; “The most ridiculous
thing that has happened in Georgia, the
moat laughably piece of architecture in

Think of it, a state capitol with a coffee-

a shame and a mistake, and tve do not

Now for such a purpose of all things,
does seem that a coffee pot is tho last
