the managers of the base ball asso¬

to our suggestion to excurt to Macon

Georgia Midland is finished before
the season closes, in which event they
may divide time or excursions be¬
tween Macon and Atlanta.
People think love excuses folly of
all kinds in themselves, but think all
other subjects of the blind cupid
rank fools. Thus Senator Jones, of
Florida, is now the subject of much
adverse criticism. He has fallen in
love and they say is neglecting his
senatorial duties. It goes for naught
that the object of his affections is an
ex t reme jy proper person, highly ac
C Q m plished, very handsome and lm

is one ray of hope, however. Your

THE PRESIDENT’S PREROG
Aq-jy|r
So far as we have been able to keep
up with the controversy between the
President and the republican portion
of the senate, our Grover has
ly the best part of the fight. right
tion is, has the president the to
matte removals from office except by
™th the consent of the sena e ?
There is no law providing that he shall
consult the senate as to the propriety
of removals, but as he must have its
consent before he can fill any vacancy
thus created, republicans insist that
they have a right to know the creating reasons
that actuate the president in help
vajanc j es they are called upon to
fiU> j t looks as if the republicans
werc i n a desperate mood to make a
fight on this ground, and we are very
much misUken if they succeed in
making much or any capita i out of it.
Thc effect wi u be to close up the
ranks of the democracy and to make
a k er0 0 f t b c strong leader, who, after
having led to glorious victory, was be
to°divide - ng anat hematized because he refused
the spoils satisfactorily. The
commom foe at rest, we might have
fought among ourselves, but with
him in sight and ready for the

dissensions.

A veiy pleasant little party gather¬
ed at the residence of Mr. B. C.
Kimbrough last evening, the occasion
being a meeting of the temperance
Union. The exercises were pleasing
and all were entertained until the
close of the evening. A touching
and beautiful little story of a woman’s
devotion and a man’s love of the
wine cup, which ended in misery for
both, was well read by Mr. (). S.
showed Barnes. Mr. Jimmie Kimbrough
how one can become enslav¬
ed by evil habits in a fine speech
which was heartily applauded. The
gem of the evening however, was a
vocal duett, “O’er Hill and .Dale,"
by Mrs. Kimbrough and Missj Berta
Dozier, which elicited an encore,
but to which they did not re¬
spond. At the close of the exercises
business topics were discussed, after
which the meeting adjourned.
Mr. A. P. Jones, the buggy man
of LaGrange, came down to Hamil¬
ton yesterday on a visit to his broth¬
er, Mr. H. C. Jones. He brought
with him a new buggy which he lias
just built for Dr. 'Thomas S. Mitch¬
ell, our popular physician. The
buggy presents a handsome appear¬
ance and is what Mr. Jones calls his
“Doctor’s Gem." It has patent sand
boxes that protect the spindles from
any possibility of grit, which arc the
most complete arrangement of their
kind we have ever seen. In every
particular, from its handsome lamps
to its oil boiled rims, it is just such a
buggy as one needs for comfoit and
convenience, as well as for hard
wear. Mr. Jones has always had a
good trade in Harris county which is
constantly growing. His establish¬
ment is one of Ihe thriftiest con¬
cerns in LaGrange, a town noted far
and near for its business push, and
“Jones the Buggy Man" is fast grow¬
ing in popular think esteem. investing Few of our
readers would of in a
buggy before consulting him.
