Attention Veterans.
Every confederate veteran in Spalding
county is earnestly requested to meet in
Griffin, In the city council chamber, Kin
caid block, at 10 o’clock, Wednesday
morning the 23d intt, to discuss and ar
range preliminaries for attending the re
union of th* United Confederate veterans
of the South soon to be held in Atlanta.
It 1* desired that every veteran in
Spaldfag county *o arrange to attend this
* grand reunion, and we should endeavor
to go in a body.
By order of W. R. Hawlbitur,
J. P. Sawtell, Commander.
Secretary.
Mr*. Myrick thinks it would be a
good idea to send our champion loot
bail players to fight the Spaniard*,
She *ay* they could easily knock the
locks off of Spain.
The Savannah News says: “General
Wil*on, of the engineer corps, says he
find* the people of the south ready to
fight for their country. To be sure they
are. Tpe people of the south have
never been otherwise, at any time.
They have been in the thick of th* fray
in every war the country has ever had.
They have been among the first to be
gin and the last to quit fighting. They
have fought unflinchingly under cir
cumstances which would have appall
ed a more warlike people They are
ever ready to respond to duty.”
There has been considerable stir in
North Georgia among the Baptist peo
ple over a warm controversy that has
been conducted for some mouths in
the North Georgia Baptist, at Cum
ming, between Rev. Thad Pickett of
Cartersville, and Rev. A. B. Vaughn
of Cumming. Mr. Pickett attacked
the state mission board and missions
arid Mr. Vaughn appeared as defender
and the discussion grew to such a fiery
tension that the editor of the paper
stopped it and, together with Mr.
Vaughn, goes for Mr. Pickett in strong
terms, accusing him of “casting sus
picion bo the honesty and integrity of
the state board from the pulpit in
Cumming, pouring contempt on the
best preachers of this country,” and of
making speeches in the basement of
the court ho>|se at Atlanta against
prohibition, because of his financial
obligations to a liquor dealer in Atlan
ta. Mr. Pickett is well known as a
> preacher and several times ran for
Congress in the Ninth district.
A little more than thirty five years
ago a family consisting of three per
sons, a widow and her two sons, resid
ed in Worth county. The widow’s
.name was Rogers, and her two sons
were Calvin and Wiley, aged respect
ively 12 and 3 years Some time dur
ing the year 1863 Mrs. Rogers had oc
casion to visit Macon, and died there.
When the wat ended the two brothers
had lost track of each other. Wiley
himself was so,young that he soon for
got he even had a brother. In course
of time he faced the world on his own
account, married, and after living in
several places, finally drifted, at the
age of 38 years, to Worth county, set
tling on a farm near Sylvester. Mean
while, J. Calvin Rogers had become a
man of family, and at the age of 47
years was a prosperous farmer and
highly respected citizen of his native
county, living in the eastern section,
not far from the line of Dougherty. It
was not long before parties began to
notice a (Otnarkable resemblance be-.
tween J. C. and W. Rogers. At first
neither of them paid mnch attention
to the remarks of friends on tbe sub
ject, attributing, the resemblanqe' to a
mere coincidence, but the eldest of the
brother* finally resolved to investigate
and satisfy birnseW Tbe result is that
tbe two brothers are reunited after a
separation of thirty five yetfr*.

HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW.
■ev Attitude Mads Him Qurvtlow the
.Joke.Manufacturer*’ Veracity.
“Some time, ” said the young man,
“when bnstnecs is light 1 am going to
take a day off, and when I do some of
tbe comic papers will do well to engage
a large assortment of guards. ”
~< ’4ning to tilfii in some comio verse,
are yon?” inquired the older man face
tiously. *
“No, I’m not,” answered tbe young
man, with emphasis, “but I’ll bet when
I get through with them they will
know a few things about their business
that they never knew before. ”
“Oh, they’ve been having fun with
you, have they?” exclaimed the older
man. “But you mustn’t mind that. It’s
all in good nature, you know.’’
“They haven't mentioned mo,” as
sorted the young man, “but they have
led mo astray by a long series of qjnane
jests, and I intend to show them the
error of their ways. I suppose you know
that I’ve been married just about a
year?”
“ Yes, I hoard of your wedding. ”
“Well, just about two months after
we were married, my wife informed me
one morning that her mother was com
ing to visit ns. I immediately thought
of the comic papers. Before she became
my mother-in-law I rather liked the old
lady, but of course things were different
after tbe wedding. Consequently I
stamped around and swore a bit and de
clared that I wanted it understood that
no relative to either party to tbe con-,
tract could step in there and run that
house. Then my wife came back at me
with tho statement that if her mother
wasn’t welcome we might as well come
to an understanding at once and arrange
for a separation. I replied that she was
welcome so long as she was willing to
mind her own business, but that it was
a well known fact that no mother-in
law over had succeeded In doing that
yet Naturally the result was that when
her mother arrived my wife and I were
not on the best of terms, and it didn’t
take long for the old lady to see it.
When she did see it, she acted.”
“Roasted you, I suppose?” said the
older man.
“Roasted me, nothing I” returned the
young man. “She roasted her daughter.
I happened to overhear it, and when she
laid down the law as to the duties of a
wife my heart went out to her, and I
felt meaner than a bobtail flush for all
I’d said of her. And she’s been tbe same
ever since. Sho doesn’t mix in much if
any when there’s a ‘tiff, ’ but I can easi
ly see that she takes my end of it when
I’m not there. And good natured I Say!
She’s the best natured woman you ever
heard of. Talk about mothers-in-law I I
wish you’d point out one of those hu
morous writers to me for a minute. I’m
fe*ling pretty strong today.”—Chicago
Record.
Purists and Pedants.
Many purists condemn such a phrase
as “no sort or kind” on the ground of
tautology. I should be sorry, however,
to see it disappear, because it is a land
mark in English philology. It is a relio
of the fusion of Saxon and Norman-
French. At that period many phrases of
a bilingual character crept into use, and
this is one of them. “Truth and honor”
is another, truth being “troth,” or hon
or, as in “by my troth.” “Voice” as a
verb is much objected to, coming to u*
modems as it does from American
sources—e. g., to “voice” the public
sentiment. I don’t like it and never
use it, but it occurs in Shakespeare.
Notoriously many so called Ameri
canisms are old English provincialisms.
The purists threaten, indeed, to becom*
insufferable pedants. It is now the cus
tom of the printer’s reader—our great
authority—to treat “none” as invari
ably singular, a contraction for no one.
But it is useful as a plural and is so
used in Shakespeare—e. g., "Speak
daggers, but use none. ” Why may w*
not continue to say, “I spoke to no wo
men at the meeting because there wore
none present?”—Academy.
The Middle Aged Man.
“I wonder,” said the middle aged
man, “why we take life so hard. At th*
very best wo have only 75 or 100 years
of ft, and yet we fume and fuss and
worry all through it. I think of it
sometimes. Here I am—well, say, 50,
with maybe 20 years ahead. The cold
chances are against my getting so many,
but take a hopeful view and say I’ve
got 20. But that’s a mighty short time,
heh? But just think of frittering away
that time in worry!
“When I think of these things, I
make up my mind that, by cracky, I
will not worry any more, and, oh, I
think I take things more philosophical
ly than I used to 1 But let some little
thing come up! I don’t fly all to piece*
over it maybe, but it drags and grinds.
And.only 20 years to live!
“What a waste of time! What poor,
miserable critters we are!” —New York
Sun.
The Supreme Court.
Justice Brewer has noted some curi
ous coincidences in regard to the mem
bers of the supreme court. The judges
are seated on the bench on either side
of the chief justice in the order of the
date of their appointments, the senior
at the right, the second at the left, and
so on. Before the retirement of Justice
Field on the right of the. chief justice
were seated the three colors, Justices
Gray, Brown and White. None of the
associates who sat on the right of the
chief justice had children. Every asso
ciate who sat on the left had a large
family, and all but Judge Peckham had
grandchildren.—New York - Tribune.
Too Much For Him.
“I will give flOO.to any one who can
squal my tricks!” shouted the professor
of legerdemain, who had the stage.
“I accept your offer,” answered a
man as he pushed through- the crowd.
“Do yon belong to the perfeah?”
“N3aw; I manufacture ga* meters. ”
“Then I withdraw the proposition.”
