Brother Ross evidently thinks the new editor is a cross betwt en the great card writer and the fine ball twister, but it isn't so. We never knocked a home run nor struck ’em out nor killed a govern or nor caused a panic nor stopped i one nor made cotton go up nor 1 m.nh it go down.

Marietta lias two judges who are celebrities of the first water —George (iober, the retiring judge, and Newt Mor ris, the new judge. They have stirred the people of the Blue Ridge circuit and of all Georgia as have no other judges in the-state. And, if Senator St< ve Clay isn't a celebrity, we would like to know what it takes to make a celebrity.

FIS fUNNY. “Patronize home institutions,” cries the country editor from week to week. “That's right, " says the merchant, “give it to those who go to some other town to buy goods.” Then with his heart filled with kindness to the loyal editor, lie sends his job work to Kalamazoo, or utilizes a piece of wrapping pa per to write an order on for goods or send a statement to a customer. Funny isn't it? —Walton Tribune, Yes, tis funny. And when the editor receives literature printed by the national government at cut throat prices in competition to bis business, used by a local merchant to solicit the patronage of the edi tor and his force, when bo is per fectly aware of the yearly deficiency in the government printing depart ment, it's hilarous.
