Notwithstanding the fact that Geti. Evana’ friends arc at work here, it seems that Mr. Atkinson is gaining ground. The peculiar coincidence of the two Atlanta papers being.a unit for the General, and Mr. Atkinson having voted against the Soldiers’ Home looks rather “foxy.” The Constitution and Journal are great papers, and Georgia justly feels proud of them both. but wheu it comes to anything oil earth and At lanta, and knowing that they are not in love with each other, or anything in particular except Atlanta, the peo ple seem to think there is something In the wind to which Mr. Atkinson would not accede. Sotaras the Home is concerned Mr. Atkinson is on the popular side in this section, and could not be beaten, for the reason he does not approve ol the Soldiers’ Home being established, and that too in Atlanta, of course. So far as we are concerned we are not committed, and will be guided in our course by political reasons, for both men are worthy and we have no abuse for on her, knowing now that we will support the nominee, whether it be for one ot the above gentlemen or Jack Jenkins, of Jeuninsburg. IT HAS COME TO PASS. Whenever an enterprise is started in the South nowadays, the first thing the papers and the people think ol is the fact that it will luruish work for the idle. In the election ot a mayor in Macon last year, the leading claim for the candidate was that he would furnish work. Atlauia’s boast is that their contemplated international expo sition work. Macon wel comes another little concern and states that it will furnish work to 20 ©r 25 hands. This is all right, of course, but the trouble comes iu the fact that it shows it is now necessary to try to provide work for idle men in this un developed country. And it is further a confession that all of these Lamps are not tramps from choice but that it is a problem in the south to kep labor unemployed. This is our regret that every oue caurot get work who it willing towoik. Now if we had money, or the 10 per cent tax was re moved Irom slate bank issues, there would be an effort made to get labor, and not to provide werk, by the nun who own thisi:ouniry. And we must have a solid south on this question that the vast resources of untold mil lions can be developed by its rightful owners, those who are now throt tled for want of capital. STRANGER THAN FICTION. A woman had rather know how her neighbor is dressed than anything •u earth. A child can ask questions that a philosopher can’t answer. Mau will think a fool is wise and a beast is good, if they endorse him or seem to like hj.n. The biggest fool on earth can point out a fault in anybody or anything, but he never suggests a remedy or helps the erring. The devil is like a wise man in one respect, he never gives advice. God pities a mau who has no way of show ing his piety only to get up and tell it with his mouth. A young mau aud a young lady, who both claim to be self-sustaining, are afraid if they many they will per ish to death. A man in advance or behind the common standard of civilization, are alike regarded as cranks. People whom we adjudge lunatics may have reached a higher state than our imagination will indorse. The majority always rules, but it is the majority of brains and not the majority ot breeches. The only secret in being a success ful politician Uto find out how the people stand and then go around and tell them of it. ITS HATEFUL. Some leading papers aud men, too, are trying hard to leave the impres sion that the only way for the demo cratic party to succeed in holding the reins of the government is to indorse every thing and position tafcen by any public man, from president down to bailiff, if he was elected by the demo cratie party. That is to say that a man is either to indorse the adminis j nation, or get along without pa Iron i ago, or even the respect of those in places of honor and trust, and who could never have been thus honored without this same element. He is openly persecuting with a view of causing them to refuse to be guided by the dictates of their own con i sciences and hypocritically professing to beileve in their judgment. Al though a man is smarter or less sub ject to err after he is elected than be fore. The democratic, or any other, party which blindly indorses every vilianous f rick perpetrated by those whom it honored cou and not more cer tainly, nor more effectually, commit suicide if it should take laudanum and go to sleep. No, sir, it will not perpetaa'ie, nor even be potent in lengthening the hold of any party to cover up your crookedness by crying: ‘•Unity peace ! Peace, where there is no peace.” The very reverse of this is true. Lei us have full sway and discuss every thing and purify ourselves, and like the fond and useful friend he quicker to detect error iu om thau anywhere, and t r y harder to c> rrect it, that we may continue* to go before tua public with a clear conscience, knowing that if our leaders made mistakes that the party doesn’t iu doiso them in the wrong. For we all know that in a republic the people are the final arbiters of ah questions, and that “vox populi vox Dei,” (The \oice ot the people is the voice of Ged) and we must do right and live, or wrong and die. The Chattenooga Medicine Company have won a trade-mark lawsuit in the U. A. Circuit Court at Atlanta. An attempts w\s made to enjoin them from usingthe name “Jhedford” and “M. A. Yhtdford & C 0.,” on their liver medicine or Black- Draught. Judge Newman dismissed the suit and taxed the plaintiffs with the costs. Thedford’s Black-Draught nas been in constant use for mere than fifty years and is one of the standard medicines of the country, thousands ®f dollars have been spent in advertising it, and it is known everywhere.

In this eminently progressive age, the education oi no young man, no matter what his intended avocation, can be regar ded as fully qualifying him for success unless he possesses a business training. Where to get that of the most practical character most quickly and cheaply is the question. This paper ventures nothing in saying that investigation will prove the G a. —Ala. Business College of Macon, Ga. to be the very institution. J/any young men in six to ten weeks, at an expense of from S2O to S3O, have recently finished bookkeeping, telegraphy or shorthand there, and, in spite of the ah rd times, immediately stepped into positions paying from SSO to $75 per monih.

ONLY SI.2S—GAZE ON THIS. \vo call special attention to our clubbing arrangement w ith the great southern weekly, the Atlanta Consti tution, which enables ns to offer both papers for the remarkably low sum of $1.25 a year. The first duty of every good citizen is to patroaize bis home paper. He wishes to become thor oughly conversant with his county matters, and only through tis home paper can he expect to be supplied with the current county news, which is of the closest interest to him. After he has provided himself with his borne paper bis next consideration of those who are not within easy reaca of a first-class daily newspaper should be to select a first-class weekly newspaper supplying all the general news ot the world, and paying special attention to features which are of par ticular interest to the household and the farm. Just such a paper is The Weekly Constitution, published at ALanta, Ga., and having a circulation of 156,000 copies a week, the largest of any weekly newspaper published in America. It is essentially a farmer’s paper and stands at the head of the weekly press of this country. Its agricultural department aloue is worth the subscription price of the paper, while it numbers among its contributors such well known names as Bret LI arte, Mark Twain, Joel Chandler Han is, Surge Plunkett, Bill Arp, and a host of others, whose rep utations are world wide. Its women amt childien’s departments are pre pared with a special view to please the little folks and the women, and its news columns literally cover the face of the earth. We a:e enabled to offer both papers at practically the price of om , and we vviil take great pleasure in forwarding to The Constitution any names sent us in connection with our clubbing offer at the remarkably low price above given.
