Marshall Leverett, of this district, has
been removed from office, aud Col. John
D. Harrell, of Bainbridge, has been ap

The Griffin Call says Charlie Bartlett
received 49 votes in Africa for Congress.
We don’t suppose the telegraphic reports
from Greenland, New Zealand and Siberia
have yet arrived. He will undoubtedly
get a large vote iti each of thege countries,
as Charlie is a very popular man.
P. S. —Since writing the above we have
discovered that Africa is a small precinct
in Spaulding county.
All the contested election cases before
the legislature have been settled. It
was demonstrated that there was no
gum in the accusations of the “pops'”
and the cases were promptly dismissed
after a hearing was given the complain
ants. Col. T. J. Dempsev will continue
to serve the people of Butts iu his usual
good style, and before his term of office
expires, he will do such efficient work
in that capacity that the “pops” will
regret ever having made any complaint
at all. Mr. Dempsey is the right man
iu the right place.
Jailor Wells went to Jafrkscn Monday
after a negro named Tom Ogletree, who
is wanted in this county on a charge of
misdemeanor. Tom thought when he
got to Butts he was “out of sight. Pike
Couuty Journal.
The sequel shows that Tom was mis
taken, for our efficient officers Beau
champ aud Crawford picked him up. It
is quite different when a culprit runs
from Butts to Pike’s mountains. We
never hear of him again any more than
we would if he had goue to the jhngles
of Africa to sleep with the Bengal tiger.
He is “out of sight.”
Each member of the Pocahontas Mat
rimonial Club has 6 points to his credit.
A point consists of a young lady sa>ing
“yes.” And as there are 5 single mem
bers of the order remaining, it shows
very forcibly that that there are a few
young ladies left in Jackson who are
matrimonially inclined. W. .h.nkSWrn
Kinard lost a point Wednesday by put
ting his engagement off too long. n
Charlie Pinckney gained three pom J
going to see tbe same young lady twice

you can’t blame us for it.

We venture the assertion tliac Col. M.
V. McKibben is called upon to represent
more clients in the courts of Macon and
Atlanta than any attorney outside of
those two cities. And he is a popular
and beloved member of the bar wherever
he goes. If Colonel McKibben has an
enemy in the State of Georgia he has not
yet made his appearance, and a better
lawyer and more faithful worker is as
hard to find as the man who doesn’t love
this honorable gentleman. Jackson is
ever proud of such men as “Col. Van.”
English aw She is Spoquen!
There was a young lady from Jackson,
Whose hair was a delicate flackson ;
She played croquette
The livelong dauette,
And her parents were auglo-sackson.
EXPOSITION NOTES.
The sub-committee of the'Committee
on Finance of the Georgia legislature’s
lower house has recommended, by unani
mous vote, the resolution providing for
an exhibit at the Cottou States and In
ternational Exposition. It is expected
that most of the Cotton States will follow
Georgia’s example.
The Cotton States and International
Exposition Company has closed a con
tract with Chicago parties for the erec
tion a scenic railway. It will have an
undulating track and cover 700 feet of
space. The same concern had a scenic
railway at the Midwinter Exposition in
San Francisco and it was one of the most
popular features.
The department of privileges and con
cessions of the Cotton States and Inter
national Exposition is one of the busiest.
The exclusive concession for the Kineto
scope has been awarded to Mr. Beverly
W. Warren, Jr., who represents the Kin
etoscope Company of Chicago. This
wonderful device of Mr. Edison’s inven
tion photographs motion, so to speak,
and wherever it has been exhibited
crowds have thronged the building.
President Collier of the Cotton States
and International Exposition has written
to Postmaster General Bissell, asking
that a special Exposition stamp be issued
in one, two and five cent denominations.
The design suggested is that of a Phoenix,
with the date 1865 below and 1895 above.
Around the whole is a circle with the
words, “Cotton States snd International
Exposition, Atlanta,” The design is the
coat of arms of Atlanta with the Expo
sition around it.
Nr. Charlie Ransom Peaque.
Mr. Charlie Piansom Peaque
Said he was from Mozambeaque;
And when he tried he could not speaque,
For his voice would only squeaque.
So they took him for a freaque,
And he had to make a sneaqne!
When a refuge he did seaque,
He had to cross the briney creaque;
Lest their vengeance they might' wreaque
On Mr. Charlie Ransom’s beaque!

A REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE.
The Death of Little Julia Smith and
Little Ralph Carmichael. T
These bright and lovely children were
about three and a half years of age, Ralph
being one day older. They wers born to
parents, who though of no blood relation
were bound together by the strongest
ties of friendship. Since their birth the
names of these children have been closely
associated and have been the synonyms
for joy and delight in each family. From
the time they could know or speak of
any one they were taught to know and
speak in their childish way of each other.
The first photographs taken of the
children were exchanged by their parents
and when, some time afterwards, little
Ralph was-suffering with the measles,
feverish, fretting, and would not be
quieted by anything else be would take
Little Julia’s picture, press it to his
bteast and say “My Julia.” After Julia’s
death Ralph was loath to speak of her or
have her name mentioned. And when
little Julia had passed beyond the blessed
portals it was only a few days before
Uttle Ralph was summoned to dwell also
with the glorified spirits of God’s own
beautiful children.
The ways of Providence are beyond
our divining. Let us find consolation in
the belief that they are with Jesu, and
in the great day His purpose shall be
made clqar. They can not come back to
the bereaved homes of loving parents,
but look up, oh frail mortals! and see
that God has made much more glorious
things possible to you—you can go to
them! God knoweth best and doeth all
things well.
Since their deaths you may remember
more distinctly their little forms; notice
with greater pleasure their innocent acts;
hear more distinctly their prattling
tongues and feel a keen regret that they
are not with you now. But may God
give you strength to exclaim with Job:
“The Lord gave and the Lord taketli
away, blessed be the name of the Lord.”
A Friend.

Behold the Book, whose leaves display
The truth, the life, the light, the way;
The mines of earth, no treasures give,
That could this volume buy.
