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*. < ■v'• lf ’. : .V ■ 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.” —Detroit Free Press. i ■ WAR DECLARED! o— — On All Fall and Winter Goods.
