The Atlanta Journal and Constitu

It is a violation of the prohibition
law, recently passed to make wine
for your own use. but. there is no
law against setting grapes away
and allowing it to make itself.
•If the average man could only fol

to his friends and neighbors he would
Boon attain a state of unheard of per
fection.
Prohibition is the issue in the race
for governor in Kentucky, the demo
crats being for, and the republicans
against prohibition. In all probabil
ity the wave started by the people of
G. will be felt far and wide.
The Atlanta ball team has lost
the pennant. While playing on her

What sculpture is to a block of mar

therefor. That's good, for what

DO YOU WANT IT.
Ho the citizens of Jackson want the
railroad? Had they rather see it go
somewhere else than come here/
Will they sit still and let the project
fall through entirely for the want of
encouragement? Very likely. The
project has been talked off for two or
three months, and —has anybody
made a single move towards Irying
to encourage the building thereof or
tried to bring it to Jackson? We
have not heard of anything of that
sort, and yet there is not a man in
our town that will not acknowledge
that it will be a misfortune of misfor
tunes if the road should miss us; not
a man but who knows that the com
ing of the road will enhance the value
of city property 25% and the value of
farm lands probably 50%. Why not
ride every wave of prosperity that
floats in our direction? Why sit ye
idle and suffer every promise of im
grovement to be wrecked en the
breakers when a little co-operation
and encouragement among and from
our citizens would land it safely on
the beach? Why not come to the Mass
meeting and pass resolutions envitiog
the Middle Georgia Inter Urban Rail
Road to come to Jackson? Why not
(if the survey goes through your land)
give the right of way to encourage
the building of tbs road, and thereby
enhance the value of your property?
Now let everybody come to the
Ma-s meeting Saturday afternoon
and do something, if it is nothing but
invite the road to come to Jackson,
do that and let it be known that you
want it.
Bachelor Tax a Success.
Cablegrams from Buenos Ayres
says: The new bachelor tax is a
great success, and girls and widows
are happy. Every healthy male has
to pay part of his income to the state
ueginn’.ng with his twentieth birlh
city unless he marries, and bachelor
dom grows more expensive with years
A 50-year old bachelor has to pay the
state SBSO per annum or become a
benedict, After the fifty-first birth
day the tax decreases. A man of
70 pays only $lO a year for being sin
gle, and when he is 80 the bailiff
takes no more notice of his family
rffairs.
“There is,” asserts Dr. Rivenel,
“not a single consumption cure on
the market, today that is not doped
with ulcohol or opium in some form.
They are a cursed thing, and especi
ally so in view of the fact that in
this country alone more that $(>0,000
000 was expended on patent medi
cines lust year. There is scarcely,one
of those nostrums that does not con
tain more alcohol than would be
found in the like quantity of malt
beverages. The modern practitioner
who treats tuberculosis successfully
does not. depend upon medicine, but
on fresh air and sunlight, a diet of
milk and eggs or other nourishing
food and plenty of it, and the follow
ing of a few simple rules.”
Among Her Favorites.
At n reception given to a musical
celebrity In New York a rather flashily
dressed woman elbowed her way
through the throng surrounding him
and claimed his attention.
“Professor.” she said, “do tell me
the name of some good piece of clas
sical music for the piano. I am so
tired of hearing my daughters play
what everybody else plays.”
“Well, madam,” responded the “lion”
of the evening, slightly taken aback,
but retaining his good humor, “sup
pose you try—let me see—Rolfe’s ‘Opus
P7.‘ ”
“I am glad you mentioned that, pro
fessor." she rejoined, with enthusiasm.
“If there Is anything in the world I am
fond of. it Is opuses!”
Curious Soap Spring.
Natural soap baths are not an un
mixetl blessing. The curious soap
spring that forms a wonder of a village
in Timor. East Indian Islands, consists
of a small elevated mud cone, from
which bubbles up water heavily charg
ed* with alkali and radium, the dis
charge jiving the appearance of a
miniature volcano. A disadvantage
; of such a washing place is that vegeta
tion is ruined for miles around.
A soldier, being asked if lie had met

A Queer Coincidence.
While n serial story was running in
a certaiu magazine a lady in Johannes
burg wrote to Um publisher asking
whether Christina I.ys (the author’s
nom de plume) was assumed or not.
She herself was a Mrs. Lys, who was
trying to trace we. ancestor of her late
husband, who was a descendant of
Joan of Arc. Mr. Brebner. the author
in question, wrote hef that
his pen name a family one, his
forbears having ##e from Aberdeen.
Strangely enough, k came out that her
family came alse from Aberdeen and
their name was Brebner.—Pall Mall

Unlearned, but Wise.
"I’m after Justice rather than law,”
said John Dudley, who for twenty-one
years, from 1770 to 1791, was one of
the most popular judges of New Hamp
shire. He was unlearned in the law',
and his education was so defective that
he could not write five consecutive sen
tences in correct English, yet so ac
ceptably did he discharge his judicial
duties that Chief Justice Parsons of
Massachusetts, one of the most learned
of lawyers, said of him, “We may smile
at his law and ridicule his language,
yet Dudley, take him all in all. was the
greatest and best judge I ever knew in
New Hampshire.”
The Strain of the Glass Houses.
“The son of a glassblower is rarely
fotiud in tlie same employment,” said
a speaker at a child labor conference.
“I would rather send my boys straight
to hell than send them by way of the
glass house," one glassblower is quoted
as saying. It appears that the charac
ter of the men is greatly affected by the
extreme heat and consequent physical
strain of the glass houses.
Moved the Audience.
“Did you notice how I moved the au
dience last night?” asked the amateur
elocutionist.
“Moved Isa't the proper name for it,”
rejoined his critical friend. “It was
little short of a stampede.”
Comparatively.
Towne—Yes, my wife Is able to dress
on comparatively little money. Browne
—Oh, come now! Comparatively little?
Towne I mean on little compared
with what she thinks she ought to
have.
M. O. Employees Sadly Paid In Vienna.
The Chicago Daily News states that
the wages of a first class motorman on
the municipal street railways of Vien
na is 72 cents for a twelve hour day
uuil that a large number of the em
ployees of the municipal gas works
earu barely 50 cents a day. These
low wages are paid to enable the city
to make a profit on its undertakings.)
A special cable says that a general
revolt against the miserable wages of.
city employees is threatened. t

Profit In Baiting Corporations.
The celebrated Edward W. Bcmss,
whose efforts to extirpate gas monopo
lies have brought fame mul foes, is su
ing the city of Peoria, 111., for $1,000,,
which he asserts was earned in the
service of Peoria when the authorities
of that alcoholic spot were endeavoring
to put the Peoria Gas company out of
business.—American Gas Light Jour

“Any interesting legends about here?”
