From Sick Bed to Battle.
We find tho following brief
sketch of Col. .T. 11. Moore., who
is well known in Daliionogn, iu
the last issue of the Con federate
Veteran, published at Nashville,
Teun., written by “11. M. H.:”
I notion the Veteran occasionally
makes mention of some old soldier
yet living whose matchless nerve
and soldierly qualities were con
spicuous in days when such qual
ities were most admired; hence 1
venture to submit a brief sketch
of Comrade .1. Ii. Moore, who
was born in 1S42 in Hickman
county, Tcnn. lie is from a line
of distinguished ancestors.
After receiving an academic
education, Col. Moore (he is call -
j ed colonel out of consideration for
111!* high character) entered the
United States Naval Academy at
Annapolis; but when the South
was threatened with war he re
turned home and joined the
Seventh Tennessee Infantry, llts
regiment was soon sent, to Vir
ginia, and became a part of Ar-
cher’s famous brigade, and served
the entire war in the Army of i
Northern Virginia. lie was in
every battle his command partici
pated in from Seven Fines to Ap
pomattox, and on more than one
occasion left a sick bed to join his
regiment when he knew they were
going into action, only to return
to bed after the battle was fought.
Comrade, Moore is one of the very
few survivors of his regiment
who, tu Pickett’s immortal charge
at Gettysburg, crossed the stone
wall nearest to the enemy and for
a moment stood amid the guns of
the Federal battery. “Jack”
Moore is as gentle and modest as
he is brave and honest, and no
reader of the Veteran will bo more
surprised to see the above than
himself.
Major Pond’s Last Joke.
Few Americans have been more
fortunate in making personal
friends than Major Fond, who
died recently from shock follow
ing tho amputation of his leg. He
was the pioneer in the effort to
bring famous European men of
letters into diuect touch with popu
lar audience on this side of the At
lantic.
As many good stoi ies are told of
him as lie told of others, and the
latest in one of the most character
istic. When he was recovering
•f»:om the effects of the nmesthitic
after the operation, he looked
around, glanced downward and
quietly asked the sergeon if it was
till over. The surgeon nodded.
■‘So I’ve got only 011c foot nowT
“'Yes, major,” was tlie reply.
“Well, then, I’ll haye to ask my
friends to give me a leg up.”
Why She Enjoyed it.
“1 like to go to church,” an
nounced Dottie, aged 5, according
to Lippincolt’s, “because they
sing nice hymns about flowers and
insects and things to eat, and the
man in the nightgown talks about
birds.”
“Why, Dottie, said her mother,
“J don’t think there are any
hymns about insects and things to
eat.”
“There is so,” insisted Dottie.
•‘Last Sunday we sung a beauty
hymn about “Bringing in the
cheese, and today we sang one
what began,‘Just as I am, with
out one Ilea,’ and when wo get
through the man talked about a
hawk and two pigeons.”
Subsequent inquiry revealed the
fact that the text had been, “Why 1
halt ye between two opinions?” 1
The meeting of the Educational ;
Association will bo held in Atlanta
Dec. 30, 31 and Jan. 1.
The Atlanta Spirit Should Be
come Epidemic..
You often hear used t he expres
sion •'the Atlanta Spirit.” This
expression is heard all over the
United States, and it’s interesting
to note what it means, and how
it lias come about that Atlanta, is
today one of the most nourishing
cities in the country, says the
Toecoa Record.
Tho Atlanta spirit means simp
ly hustling.
Hustling is rather a slang way
of expressing many ideas. A man
is called a hustler who goes
out after business, makes money,
friends and proves a good citizen,
A town is a hustler when it does
the Fame way.
To acquire the Atlanta spirit
several things are necessary. In
the first place you can as a town
newr have the Atlanta spirit-as
long as you fall out among your
selves, and do not stand together
for everything that you can see is
a help for your mvn town. There
is no Atlanta spirit in a town
where the business men differ so,
fall out among themselves and
will not co-operate in city im
provement in henring tax burdens
in securing new citizens. It is
not displaying the Atlanta spirit
to tell a new comer that business
is dull, a-ud that there is a
poor outlook for your town, it is
better lo lie a little like Atlanta
does and secure the new citizen.
Lt is better to say you are the best
town anywhere around, like At
lanta folks always does,, when
jou know there are other towns
much better.
The Atlanta spirit says to a
stranger, come here? We will
guarantee you will he pleased.
The Atlanta spirit Bays when a
big picnic or a barbecue, or any
other enterprise is proposed, why
yes, 1 will give to that. its the
Atlanta spirit that prompts a cit
izen to put Ins money in home
enterprises, rather than to take it
elsewhere.
The Atlanta spirit is a mighty
good thing to have in a town or
community, and we are glad to
note that it is spreading all over
this section of the south—indeed
the eouth is generally diffused
with more or less of the Atlanta
spirit, and we hope it will become
so generally epidemic that the
whole state will he down with it.
It’s a mighty good disease to
have, for it brings water power
development, more hotels, more
manufacturing concerns, more
people, more money and more
poperty.
A man who has time to figure
it out lias made tho statement that
three glasses of coca cola or throe
cigars a day for a year would
bring into your home one barrel
of Hour, 50 pounds of sugar, 12
pounds of corn starch, 10 pounds
of macaroni, 10 quarts of beans,
four 12 pound hams, 1 bushel
of sweet potatoes, 10 pounds of
coffee, 10 pounds of raisins, 10
pounds of rice, 20 pounds of crack
ers, 100 bars of soap, 3 turkeys, 5
quarts of cranberries, 10 hunches
of celery, 10 pounds of prunes,
4 dozen oranges and 25 good
beef-steaks.
There is some talk of tho North
Georgia Electric Co. heating up
Gainesville by electricity next
winter. At one time the. same
thing was talked of about Dahlon-
cga. We trust how soon at both
places for a 50 cents load of wood
is gone before you can get coins
fortably warm almost.
Aron Garner has been hound
over in Atlanta for a brutal attack

Life For
The most rejmirkalde instance J,y
the annals of criminology in Geor
gia has been brought to light by
the receipt of a letter by Gover
nor Terrell from jpr. W. F. Rush-
in, of Albany, Ga., who petitions
the governor to allow him to en
ter I he prison walls of the state
and serve the remainder of the
life sentence imposed upon his
father for the. murder of .J. F.
Li I ley, which crime was commit
ted in Thomas county in 1895.
The petition states that the ei
der Kashin killed Lilley while
both were attending a Sunday
school convention.
The petitioner states that nis
father is growing old and the eight
years of toil and confinement are
rapidly showing their ill effects
upon him and thut fie wants his
father to spend his Inst years at
his home with his family and al
low him to die in freedom.
Dr. Rushin asks only to he per
mitted to serve instead of his fath
er, stating that be is willing to en
ter tho state’s service as an uncon
vinced convict and serve until the
natural death of his father pays
the legal debt imposed.
The letter is the first of its kind
over received at the capitol and is
the most wonderful act of filial
obligation ever brought to the pub
lic knowledge.
It is not within the power of
the chief executive to grant the
request, and the faithful son lias j
been informed to this status of aF
fairs.—Atlanta News.
Nye’s First Engagement.
The late Major Fond managed
Bill Nye for several lecture sea
sons, but their first meeting was
rather informal, says the Saturday
Evening Post. Nye was one day
walking down Fourth avenue with
a friend, when he spied the major’s
modest sign ni the window of the
Everett House.
“Here’s the man that incites the
lecturers,” said Nye; “let's go in
and see if we can’t induce him to
lead a better life.”
Entering, Nye removed his hat
and ran his hand oyer tho hairless
expanse of his head, and after
staring about for a moment, said:
“This is Major Pond, 1 believe.”
“Yes, sir. What can I do for
you?” answered the major.
“I want to get a job on the plat
form,” returned Nye.
“Ah—yes,” said the major slow
|y. “Have you had experience?”
“Well, I’ve been before the pub
lic for a couple of years.”
“Yos? May I ask in what ca
pacity ?”
“I’ve been with Barnum. Sat
concealed in the bottom of a cabi
net and exhibited my head as the
largest ostrich egg iu captivity.”
