They will also bring a gallin gun with a firing capacity of five hundred shots per minute, and one of the latest and one of the most improved breech loading cannon. These three can nons will take part in the sham battle and all parades and reviews. The grounds will be opened to visitors at all hoars except from eleven o’clock at night until five o’cloek in the morning. No admission will lie charged and no written permits to enter will be req ired. The colonel commanding desires every one to visit the camp and see the moil m camp and on d. ty.

The Sunday services are as follows : Epworth League 10, a, m Bible reading by Miss Armstrong II, a in and 8, p ru. Sunday School 4, p. in. The Infant Swallows the D»e. With a vise like grip upon her head and the spoon containing the unpleasant “Piatt mixture" tilted against her clinched teeth, the Cu ban infant might kick and squirm and shriek, but must swallow or choke. It was a foregone conclusion that she would swallow. No doubt that the mixture was n crude mess—more like the ill-stnell- ing and ill tasting "yarbs’’ of some savage witch doctor than the medi cine of a refined and enlightened physician. No doubt it contained more engredients that were stupid and useles-, if not positively harm fill, than ingredients that were whole some and beneficial. No doubt the method of administering the dost- was about as tactful us—well, as Senators Plait’s interview in which he described the Cuban people as a race of liavs and their leading mdti ns mostly rogues. But when it is all over it will be found that, aside from the little de tail of having replaced Cuban grati tude with Cuban resentment, we have secured practically all that we would have h*d if the Platt amend ment had never been devised bv om profound statesman of the Caliinei and the Senate. And for this we should lie thankful. —New York World.

It has offered its services to the gov- iniueiit promptly after call for vol- teteeif, and in the war between the states was a famous Confederate bat- cry. When the call tens made for vol unteers at the outbreak of the u a •vtth with Spam, tiie Cliatlmuis went to Griffin to he mustered in, aud ‘here met a number of the . officers rid men who had belonged to i lie Fourth Georgia regiment, and wtfre lien attached to the First Georgia regiment, U.

First-class Job Work executed at this office, i The Atlanta Journal and the Ac worth Post are having ^lively tut over the old question whether the term “United States” is a smgil.tr or plural r.oun. The trouble with these esteemed contemporaries is that they both are right and both are wrong. Thu right aud wrong sides of this q estiou are to be i!cteru.. | i*d ml grammatically, but by the period >f usage. Before I lie provision for rates rights in the federal oonstuu- ion was abrogated by the result of >f the civil war, it was ci.tir ly .1 roper to iise the plural verb, winch was the commonly accepted form, •mt since then a new Interpretation lias been forced upon the people who fought for the constitution, and in accordance with the result of that mighty conflict, it. is now proper to use the singular verb.
