Evfiov. Atkinson Dead.
The State of Georgia is in gloom
this week, because of the death of
ex-Gov. Atkinson, which occurred
at his residence at Newnan last
Monday night. His illness was
not a long, lingering one, but acute
and fatal. In another column will
be found more information on this
sad dispensation of Providence.
News from Broxton
Broxton, July 9. —The excursion
was a wonderful success, so th-v
say, ye scribe was one among mutr,
who had to pay full fare and go
. through a local freight. [ Dead
broke freight, you mean.]
Mr. Marshall Evans who has
been confined to his room for sev
eral weeks with typhoid fever is
among the boys again.
Some of our young men lost their
neck tie Monday night and it tied
in a double-bow-knot around their
collar. [lts a wonder they didn’t
lose their heads. ]
The tent services closed Sunday
night, and the devil still lurks in
the most conspicuous places in
town.
Here is our private opinion as
to what constitutes a stingy, cheesy,
fellow, a man wlvo won’t pay for
his paper, a man who always
wants everything divided giving
him the largest half, and a courting
fellow who gives small boys a nick le
to carry a present to his best girl
and because she refuses demands
his money refunded.
Some young people may want
to know the definition to the word
‘‘kiss”. Will some correspondent
please give their opinion? [Ask
that red headed girl of yours.]
Where were (lie Breeze force
Monday? Bro. Freeman must have
hid out. |He was on the B. &W.
train, just ahead of you fellows. |
A certain young man in Brox
ton says that very near all the girls
are stuck on him, but stranger still,

Mr. Jno. Greer, of Douglas, was
in town a few days ago looking us
though he might want to give up
the conformity of a bachelor. The
Broxton girls don’t care to enter
tain more than their share which
when all told will not exceed more
than 8 or 10 residents.
Mr. A. B. Mewbern started out
canvassing this week, but. that he
has not made any sample display
we are unable to say what he
represents.

Rev. Harry Clark, who is there in
missionary work.

Whiffs from Wilsonville.

Sunday of each month.

seed, preparatory for shipment to

Wbat Hoke Smith Says About the War.
Hoke Smith was in Washington
the other day and was interviewed
on the Philipine question. Among
the other things he said :
“Nine-tenths of the people in our
section are opposed to continuing
the war.
“The sentiment all over the
south, I believe, is overwhelmingly
against trying to retain the islands.
“The Filipinos are fighting for
liberty in the same way that we
did a hundred years agb, and the
American people are already sick
and tired of the slaughter going on
there.
“I am not in favor of having our
troops leave the islands with an
armed force lined up against them,
but that would not be necessary.
“If we should avow our intention
of leaving the islands to the natives
and abandoning our attempts of
sovereignty the fi.ght.ing would
stop at once.
“Then, after we had assisted in
establishing a government, if the
natives so wished, our troops could
properly be withdrawn.
“If the next presidential cam
paign were to be solely on the issue
of continuing the war the opposing
candidate would carry the coun
try.”
Ye* We’ll Give the News.
A subscriber over in the edge of
Berrien sends us a dollar on his sub
scription and makes this inquiry:
“Can we depend on the Breeze
for the political news of both par
ties—Democratic as well as Popu
list, Populist as well as Democrat
ic?” Now, you think you’ve got
us, don’t you? and ordinarily you
have, but this time you’ve missed
it. If there was a Populist paper
printed here we should leave it to
furnish news for its own party —
but as there is not, and the Breeze
is the paper of the people we shall
try to furnish the news of both sides,
and then one side will know what
the other is doing. Yes, we want
to give the news as it is—hash it all
up together, and then you can take
your choice—what you don’t want
you can pour back in the jug.
Too Quick for Turner.
A burly negro by the name of
Andrew Turner, living here, has
been breathing threats against
Mr. 11. F. Sears, Jr., for sometime
and went so far as to carry his
Winchester rille with him wherever
he went with the evident purpose
of executing his threats. His
threats and conduct became known
to Mr. Sears, and he began to sleep
with his eyes open, and fully pre
pared for emergencies. Sunday
afternoon they met accidently and
for a wonder Turner did not have
his Winchester. As soon as they
spied each other both began draw
ing their pistols, but Sears was the
quicker and fired first, which re
sulted in but one shot being fired.
Turner was painfully, but not
fatally wounded in the side. He
will be out in a few days and it is
hoped his Sunday afternoon's ex
perience will make him a wiser
man and prove an end to the
trouble.—Pearson cor. to Way
cross Journal.
Several ladies and gentlemen of
the Teachers' Institute, came in to
see us Thursday.
