Col. Morton was assigned by Speaker
Atkinson to several very important
commitues, and his work in the com
mittee room was admirable. He- was a
member of the committees on Finance,
Banks, Manufactures, Education, and
several other minor comm : ttees. He
also was a member of the committee to
investigate the lavs of Insurance and
the necessary measures to be introduced
on that subject; also a member of tbe
World’s Fair committee that visited
Chicago to investigate matters and re
port back upon the question of securing
an exhibit for Georgia at that place.
Col. Morton was a vigorous advocate
of t.bc Soldier’s Home bill, the military,
the University, higher education school
of technology, the geological depart
ment, tho funding bill to secure money
with which to promptly pay the teach
ers in the common schools, and ^11 leg
islation looking to the advancement of
the common school interests.
He was just as vigorous an adversary
of the railroad legislation proposed by
Major Bacon,and opposed the Calvin
bank bill on the ground of its being
premature legislation.
Col. Morton introduced and passed
several local measnres before noted in

counties in affairs of local interest, es
pecially in his work of securing the
passage of the bill applicable to Ooonee

A close investigation cf every vote

he has been vigilant and active in the

was brought before the school so that
all conld hear the dry, loud cough and
know its significance ; see the thin white
coating on tbe tongue and later, as the
cold developed, see the profuse watery
expectoration and thin watery dis
charge from the nose, not one of them
would ever forget what tbe first symp

then be given Chamberlain’s Cougb

Missed the Fan.
The Boston Transcript tells of a fanny
incident at a funeral. A patent medicine
wagon stopped at the entrance to the ceme
tery daring tbe interment, on which were
such signs as these: “Use Binks’ Sarsapa
rilla.” “Stop That Graveyard Cough with
Wilkinson’s Balsam.”. “Try Furness’ Pills
Before It Is Too Late,”
Presently the crowd were all wending
their way out of the cemetery, and as the
chief mourner, the dead old man’s son,
passed tbe patent medicine wagon an in
describable expression passed over his face,
while a tear rolled down his cheek.
“What are you thinkin of, John!”a rela
tive whispered to him.
“1 was thinkin,” answered John, wiping
the tear away, “how he would ’a’ enjoyed
that!”
BROOKLYN’S TABERNACLE-
A Gootl Many Fan Seekers Wore There
Sunday But Were Disappointed.
New York, Dec. 20.—An unusually
large number of persons flocked into
Dr. Talmage’s tabernacle in Brooklyn
when the doors were thrown open at 10
o’clock Sunday morning. A great many
of them were attracted there by curios
ity. The sheriff took charge of the tab
ernacle on Friday night, having seized
it to execute a judgment obtained
against the trustees by A. R. Tong, a
Brooklyn decorator. Mr. Tong deco
rated the new tabernacle and was paid
in notes which he was unable to collect.
Then he brought suit. The sheriff put
a watchman in charge of the tabernacle
on Friday night and re-enforced him
Saturday with a deputy. It was inti
mated that when the collection was
taken up Sunday the proceeds would
be seized by the sheriff, and therefore a
large number of persons not members of
the congregation went to the tabernacle
to see the “fun.” They were disap
pointed, for the trustees had an under
standing with Mr. Tong, and the dep
uty sheriff and his assistant were re
moved.

Chicago Baseball Club.
Chicago, Dec. 20.—Articles of incor
poration have been granted at Spring
field to the Chicago Baseball club. The
capital stock was placed at $100,000.
The principal point of interest about
the new national club is the retirement
of Messrs. Spaulding, - Walsh and Trego
who have for years been the leading
spirits in Chicago baseball circles. O:
The incorporators of the new club, Hart
was president of last year's club and
tho others are well-known business men.

the management Sunday games will be
played in this city next summer.
