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.

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.” CITY DIRECTORY sin'nui 1 >h cow. 3rd Mondays in April anil Octo ber. J. J. ljiimsey, 5 edge.
