Most people can't remember hut
one figure nowadays, ard thats Xo
1. ________
A bill has been introduced in tin'
Virginia legislature to make foot
ball a misdemeanor.
The congressmen are franking
back garden seed to their const.it- j
lients. Has loin Hell alighted j
you?.
If some folks were ns anxious to
Own fine “ehillun” as they are hpgs
and horses we’d all la- thorough
breds.
A friend of ours *uid the other
day: “Nobody (ell- the truth but I
drunk men and fools."’ Well, he
wasn’t drunk.
Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About
Nothing" is a masterpiece, but
there is still plenty of territory un
touched that the same subject could
le iippled to.
A subscriber .ask* ns “When is a
puppy a dog, and must he pay
taxes on the little ‘teeninev’ fel
lows?” (live it up and pass the
question on to the dog man.
Atlanta's recorder's eonrt tried
fifteen blind-tiger cases Tuesday.
And these were only the ones which
became so blind they simply stum
bled over the detectives. There
are others in the (bite City, yea,
verily.
Some of these days cotton will be
selling at 1 ()<• again and there will
be people holding who could have
sold for 15c. However, this is none
of our business, hut we can't help
observing human nature as we find
it in this big old world.
Just to think we have been
abused all of our life for sleeping
late mornings, and ’twas that pesky
hookworm which hold us hack all
the time. However, we can toll
Mr. Roeke-Morgan-bilt that “need
eessity” is the only cure for the
“erittur.”
No, Pauline, microbes are not vis
ible to the naked eye. Therefore,
your little sister did not bring any
home from school —hut — Well,
tell Mamma to have her hair clipped
and throw it into the lire and re
quest the hoard of education to
scatter lime around the puplie
school building.
Gainesville, like all small towns
which roach the gosling stage of
eityhood, has hoooino top-heavy
with newspapers and is emitting all
kinds of discordant noises. The
Eagle and the Herald are having it
hammer and bongs, lmt with Harve
Craig as her gunrdain we'll bet on
the Eagle saving her tail feathers
Elijah Dowie founded the city of
Zion near Chicago and was mon
arch of all he surveyed until jeal
ousy among his snrhordinates broke
the cult up in a row. Now there
are cranks nearer home, up in
Lumpkin county, dancing a jig
and mumbling in an unknown
tongue. Our times breed specta
cular cranks. The heat and clamor
of our modern activities turn heads
awry. On all sides we are con
fronted with intellectuals gone
wrong.
WOULD BE A GOOD SELECTION.
We notice that B. Lee Smilh, a
i member of Atlanta Typbographieal
' Union, is applying for Ixlss of the
city stockade- It was a printer,
Robert K. Cochran, who first called
attention to the terrible condition
of Atlanta’s detention station two
years ago, and the printers have
had much to do with the recent in
vestigation, tlu re being three of
them members of the city Council,
jimith, a. member of the Georgian
force, being among the number.
Smith is a clean n;an, a kind
hearted, Christian gentleman and
Atlanta’s unfortunate erring ones
could receive no more humane care
j than under his guardianship,
i Smith’s worth has been recognized
Iby the people of Atlanta, and lie
! has yet t<> apply for a political
plum which did not drop into his
I hat. Here’s hoping that Smith
will receive the appointment, and
our word for it Atlanta’s stockade !
sensations will he at an end.
NATIONAL POLITICS.
The daily papers are beginning to!
talk national politics, and Governor
Harman, of Ohio, is being promi
nently mentioned by politicians at
Washington as the probable demo
cratic nominee. With Governor
Johnston, of Minnesota, removed
from the scene of action and Bryan
gone lame from too much running,
the democrats will make a thorough
search to find a man who hasn’t
made some awful blunders or been
endowed b with too much verboeitv.
However, the democrats can he de
pended upon to give the republicans
enough campaign thunder at the
scramble for the nomination to
make it a hard race for any man
they select." The republicans may
have differences now, hut you will
find them cemented together as
tight as thel't’dtholie church when
the general election rolls around.
In thorough [organization there is
strength, and it is this same strength
which has walloped the democratic
party for these many years.
THE PRINCE OE THEM AEL.
“1 have the misfortune to l>e a
member of th (Jeorgia legislature,
and I have the profoundest con
tempt for that body. If you had a
drove of Kentucky jackasses and of
fered a prize for the one that could
kick the longest you would have a
fair idea of the mental attitude of
the last legislature.” So stated Dr.
George Brown, one of Fulton’s con
tributions to the last general as
sembly, in speaking to the tubercu
losis convention.
Yes, and we know George; have
watched his career with interest.,
and cannot understand what influ
ence brought this ‘‘misfortune’’up
on him, for we believe him to he
the prince four-flushing jackass of
the entire lot.
’ I'is said tin* Hon. John N.
Holder will run for the Legislature
land again l>e speaker of the house.
beast ways that's what the Alpha
-1 retta Free Press the ‘‘bestest. weekly
; paper in Georgy” has to say. How
about this* Jown?‘
Maybe your hens are laying and
you do not know it. Mrs. \Y. E.
Elder found forty-one eggs in one
nest this week and says she had riot
heard a hen cackle in six weeks.
Wise hens these, and some folks
we know might profit by following
! their example.
Hogs are selling for per hun
dred pounds in Chicago. Queer
how valuable a hog becomes after
reaching town. The farmer does
not reap the lienefit of the high
prices, yet the working men of ev
ery calling in the large cities must
pay the toll to the commission mer
chant combines.
