Sharp Williams is elected to the senate from Mississippi “braiDS over hair.” Money comes so hard to the aver age tnan that the friction rubs of! all of the taint before it reaches him. The Atlanta Journal and Constitu tion have both become rabid prohibi tion papers since about tea days ago. Joe Hill Hall of the Georgia legis lature will be satisfied with any kind of old bod clothes. ‘ Caress the kicking cow,” say’s a dairy paper. Anyway, don’t use a board with nails in it. The most gorgeously-gowned wom an will look the part of a fish woman If her walk simulates that. It is hard to decide which is re sponsible for the prohibition bill Bishop Oartdler or Torn Watson. Atlanta will soon have to adopt a new spirit—the old kind passing out kind passing out Jan. Ist next. Bishop Candler and Tom Watson are having it out to their hearts con tent. Sweet Young Thing—Oh, this has been a wonderful day—my sixteenth birthday ! Ive had my first kiss from Arthur and my last box on the ears from mamma I 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 low the advice he freely hands out 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 •wn diamond and Mempnis on the road she failed to take the lead, and now in all probability she will never reach the top. What sculpture is to a block of mar ble, education is to a human soul. I The philosopher, the saint, and the \ hero—the wise, the good and the \great man, very often lie hid and concealed in a plebeian, which a prop* r educatian mignt have disintered and brought to light. The Hall Anti Pass bill passed the House by unanimous consent. It cuts out all public oiicials *c. but al lows newspapers to contract for trans portation and exchange advertising therefor. That's good, for what would a Newspaper man look like with enough money to buy a ticket. 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 with much hospitality in Ireland, re i plied that he was in the hospital,near ly ail the time he was there. Legal Adverfisments. For Dismission.

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.

"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 nal. -• ••• s a , In Ptolemy’s time any one who killed a eat was put to death. None In Sight. “Any interesting legends about here?” asked the tourist. “No,” returned the native slowly; “aia’t never seen any, though yon may find ’em If you hunt in the woods.” Why? Johnny—lsn't a tin horn made of tin, mamma? Mamina—Certainly it is. Johnny—Then how is it that a fog horn isn’t made of fog? The beginning of wisdom is not iat the mind, but in the heart.—Abbott. \
