And now Jenkins says he will not be a candidate for Governor, What was the matter with tbe possum sup* per? Next. And now tbe Hon. Hot Jenkins is swinging around the circle This style of launching a gubernatorial ■ boom had a prompt and sa|utary effect on tbe Hon. Joe Terrell.*—Macon Newt*. When the U. 8. man of war, Maine, 1 arrived at Havapnah the Spanish war fleet In the herbor saluted her and de cked to show the officers great courte sies. How clever these Spaniards can bo when uecessary. Rev. Sam Jones will go to Baltimore tn attend the Methodist conference in May, where the question of tbe status of the evangelist will be discussed. He said recently: “As an evangelist who has raised $500,000 for the church and brought more converts into its mem bership than any other man in the church, I will ack as a matter of right that this question be settled.” “I have troubles of my own io Ohio,” said Senator Hanna to a Georgian in Washington the other day. And it was probably true. One oC Senator Hanna's constantly recurring troubles in Ohio is trying to make his employes work for wages which they think are less than they ought to have. He is now having some fresh troubles with the workmen in his shipyard at Cleve land. Strawberries are making their ap pearance in some of the Georgia cities. This delightful luxury is shipped in baskets from tbe neighborhood of Kiss iinee, Fla. They are packed in small baskets or crates and sold at sixty cents per basket. Reports from Flori da indicate that the crop is mneb earlier than usual this season. The indications are that the yield will also be quite bountiful. "A poor excuse is better than no ex cuse,” especially when one is seeking a pension. There is said to be in .Washington a man seven feet tall who claims that he was a federal siidier daring the war, and that while in the service be contracted chronic bronchi tis through tbe fact that the commie*, sary department could not supply an overcoat large enough for him, and all the blankets were too short. Dr. Wm. A. Love died in Atlanta last week and was buried, with all tbe honors duo him as an honored member 1 of the Masonic fraternity, in Atlanta Monday last. To all Masons who are ( at aIF familiar with tbe workings of ! the order in the Grand Lodges, this ( announcement will be a sad one. He . was the most familiar and strikingly i remarkable figure to be seen at all tbe c annual meetings of the grand bodies, 1 among which be held high offices. 1 i- —— ■ i n The little King of Spain, who is haidly old enough to know what '‘sweetheart” means, has been, or short* 1 ly will be,betrothed to the Archduchess Elizabeth, gracd/Uitgb«N|bf the Em peror of Austria. Tbe little bride-to- 5 be is fifteen years old, while the spouse who has been selected for her by the p royal match-makers is twelve. How- v •ver, ago and personal inclinations do not count sot much in royal match- *• .making. f 1 Truth This All Is Meal that cost less than lernt a pound to raise is the result of the fol lowing facts, from The Gainesville Eagle: ' Some very flue h>js kava been kiihd this season, and mention has bean made of tbelr size. Il seems with tbe improved breeds, which grow to weigh four or five hundred pounds in one year, that II is useless lor people to buy pork from the west. Hoaever, tbe cheapest meat we have yel. heard oj, was raised by C. 0. Bell and II R Eberhardt. Mr. Bell killed six hogs Monday which netted him 1705 pounds of meat. He affirms that these hogs did not eat as much as one bushe! of corn up to within four weeks of tbe day they were killed. They ran on a bermuda grass pasture. During the summer ho sowed a patch of peas for them, to be turned on when the crop had matured. The 1,705 jk unde of meal which now hangs in his smoke house cost him not exceeding 1 cent per pound R R Eberhardt killed two that weighed 200 pounds each. These two bogs were raised on-acorns and grass He ditl not feed them al all until ten days before killing, when he began to give them corn. They c«Mt him has than 1 cent per pound.” "Uncle John” is Dead- Johu Rhodes, colored, for more than forty years the proprietor of Cuthbert’s leading barber shop, died Monday of dropsy. John was generally known as "Uncle John,” and ‘‘John the Bara her,” and was perhaps the heal known negro in Southwest Georgia. He had scores of friends among ihg. white peo ple, and was drummer for the Cuth bert Rifles in the late war. !•» po! itics be always voted the democratic ticket. In religion he was a Methodist and occupied responsible positions of trust in his church. There is no ne gro who has died in Cuthbert, whose death has provoked so many expres sions of sorrow and regret. His fu neral occurred Tuesday. The above will ba sad news 'o the », old members <>! tha Griffin Light r Guards and members of the Filth - Georgia Regiment, among whom "Un» cle John” had many friends. □ Peace to hie ashes Why Stop at Seed? e The main objection to the appropri a ation by congress of $130,000 for the s distribution of seed must rest upon the e ground of inequality. Mr. Fitzgerald o of Boston proposed a broadening of d the scope of the distribution by adding - fishhooks and bait tor tbe fishermen of e hie district, but this would not go far t enough. The average man does not wish to bo left out Why should not „ the government issue pens and paper to writers, brushes and paints to artists, colte to slock breeders eggs to poultry t raisers and ultimateley even brains to r congressmen?—Boston Globe. 8 Decline of Oratory. 8 There was a time, it is still rtniem -3 bered, when oratory was counted the 8 special gif' of tbe men who command -1 ed senates, and who assumed to lead the people. For many years the American congress in both its . branches presented such a list of ora tors as was not equalled by any other , parliamentary body on earth. And . where have they gone? The speeches I made by tho fathers of the republic , have lived more than a hundred years, ► but who expects that the speech of any member of the present senate or house 1 of representatives will be read a centu- 1 ry from now?—Kansas City Star. While the postoffice department is cutting down carrier and office forces in many cities for the purpose of re ducing exptenses, at tbe cost of crip pling tbe service, the senators go right ahead creating new offices at Wash ington sod passing new items in the appropriations bills. lu the executive, legislative and judioial bill, as reported to the Senate with the backing of the full committee, there are a number of new offices created calling for an ex penditure of nearly $154,000. Still Leading. A. K. Hawkes received the gold medal highest award from the great Exposition, superior lens-grinding and excellency .n the manufacture of spectacles and eye glasses. This award was justly earned by Mr. Hawkes as the. superiority of his glasses over all others has made them .amous all over the country. They are now being sold in over eight thousand cities and towns in the U. 8. Prices are never reduced, same to alt. J. N. Harris & Son have a full assort ment of all the latest styles A CARD.

W. P. HORNE. « Love-Making in Public. Ilia evident, from her letter to the February Ladies’ Home Journal, that Miss Lilian Bell finds much in Paris to interest and amuse her. Among other things that are rather novel to an American, “one sees,” she writes, "the comical sight of a French bride and bridegroom, in all the glory of their bridal array—white satin, veil and orange blossoms—driving through the streets in open cabs, and bugging and kissing each other with an unctu ous freedom which Is apt to throw a conservative American into a spasm of laughter. Indeed, the frank and can did way that love-making goes on in public among the lower classes is so amsziog that at first you think you never in this world will become accuse tomed to it, but you get accustomed to a great many strange eights in Paris If a kiss explodes with unusual violence in a cab near mine it some times scans the horse, but it no longer disturbs me in the least. My nervous ness over that sort of thing has entire ly worn off.” , Eat Plenty of Lemons. An experienced and highly respected physician gave a valuable bint the other day, which all may find valuable. “I am convinced,” said he, “not only from prac tical personal experience, but on the theo retically scientific grounds also, that a safeguard against much prevalent summer illness lies in tbe free use of lemon juice,” —Athens Banner-Watchman.
