Attention Veterans. Every confederate veteran in Spalding county la earnestly requested to meet in Griffin, in the city council chamber, Kin caid block, at 10 o’clock, Wednesday morning the 38d Inst, to discuss and ar range preliminaries for attending the re / union of the United Confederate veterans of the South soon to be held in Atlanta. It ia deaired that every veteran in Spalding county so arrange to attend this grand reunion, and we should endeavor to go in a body. By order of W. R. Hanlbitkb, J. P. Sawtkll, Commander. Secretary. . Bob Ingersoll saya be is in favor of war. Put bitn in the front rankaj by all means. There are two blind beggars in New York who have stood at their respect ive corners on Fifth avinue every day lor twenty five years.- Il is believed that both have accumulated fortunes. A banquet cf horse flesh, roast, slew and aoup, was served in St. Louis. The old Confederate solliero during the war in Vicksburg dieted on nrtle meat, but they are not hankering for it now. Tbe humming of telegraph wires is a strange phenomenon which has not been satisfactorily explained. It is< not caused by wind, for it is heard daring perfect calms. It has been conjectured that changeo of tempera tore, which tighten or loosen the wire probably produce tbe sound. Some of the editors who are saying cutting things about Allen D. Candler had better be very careful. You will have to support him as the democratic nominee for governor and you bad better not get yourself in too pitiable plight in “eating crow.”—Marietta Journal. The Nashville American pays the following tribute to woman: “The new woman is not much in evidence in war excitement, but if war comes tbe woman whom we have known since Eve’s time will play her old part of in* spiring tbe brave and nursing the . wounded.” Few persons in the couth are aware of the fact that tbe mocking bird is found only in the south, nays a writer in tbe Carrollton (Ala.) News. Mason and Dixon’s line is tbe north boundary line of its borne, and it is seen in tbe north only iu captivity. It is by far the sweetest singer of the feathered ■■ California permits girls of over 15 to wed without parental consent In the District of Columbia, Florida, Mary land, Michigan, Minnesota, South Car olina and South Dakota girls over 16 may marry without parents consent. Kentucky does not permit her daugh ters to choose for themselves regard less of parents* wishes until they are M. Probably few people know that there ia a choice side to every cemetery. Thue, io some parts of the world, the eastern portion, without regard to its situation, is always deemed tbe most desirable. Tbit preference arises from tbe old tradition that our Lord will ap pear from tbe East. It is also believed that tbe dead in tbe eastern portion will be first to rise; tben those in the southern, western and northern, in or der. In England it was once tbe cus tom to bury ,'eioos and other bad char actors on tbe north aide of the church. ( The custom of laying tbe dead in a I certain direction is responsible for tbe Wetoh designation for the east wind: j "Tbe wind of tbe dead men’s feet” < ltl . ~.h,. .

That tbe'soldicrs of tbe Continental I army—yesterday farmers and. artisans— could fight history tells, but in tbe transition stage the idea of suboedina i tlon that marks tbe difference between an army and' an armed mob was diffi oult’to grasp by men in whom tbe idea of personal independence was so strong. The captain was no better than the private in the village from which both hailed, anddt was not stMnge that the private, when ordered by his superior officer to fetch a bucket of water from the spring, should retort: “Get it your self. I got it yesterday. It’s your turn today-* Thia was not insubordination in tbe view of the rank and file, but merely tbe assertion of a proper spirit cf manlineaa It happened not infrequently during tbe civil war that the private was a richer man than tbe officer, as in the case of Elias Howe, the inventor of tbe sewing machine, who on several occa aicsM presented a fine horse to some ma lar ar colonel too poor to purchase such a mount himself. There was another soldier of this stamp, Koch by name, who was well known in Philadelphia. He left a for tune of over $1,000,000. It fell to bis lot one night to be stationed sentinel over a baggage wagon. The weather was cold and wet. This set the sentinel musing. After remaining on post for half an hour he called lustily: “Corporal of the guard!” The corporal came and inquired what was wanting. Koch wished to be reliev ed for a few minutes, having something to say to the officer in command of the post. His wish was gratified, and in a few minuses he stood in the presence of General Macpherson. “General,” said be, “what is the Value of that wagon over which lam sentinel?” “How should I know? Was that all you wanted?” responded the general im patiently. “Something approximate,” insisted the soldier. “Oh, well, 01,000 perhaps.” “Very well, General Macpherson,” responded the private. “I will write a check for that amount, and then I will go to bed.” —Youth’s Companion. WHAT THE BAND PLAYED. An Exciting Dinner Table Episode on an Atlantic Liner. An instance of what it calls “trans atlantic courtesy” is related by Le Gau lois of Paris. One of the greatest singers of France, a woman whom it says every body will at once identify on a mo ment’s consideration, was returning from Now York on one of the German liners. One evening, glancing at the programme of the concert that was to bo played at dinner, she saw the an nouncement of a triumphal march cele brating the German victory of 1871. “lam sure,” she said to a fellow countryman sitting near, “that this is not intended as a discourtesy to us, but • I don’t care! I’m too much of a patriot not to express my disapproval of it in my own way when they begin to play this piece. Wait and see. ” The captain, having caught the gist of these remarks and noticing the great artist’s agitation, glanced at the pro gramme to see what caused it; then, without showing any surprise, he spoke to one of the waiters in a low tone. At the moment when the German tri umphal march was due to begin the French singer, who could hardly con trol her agitation, prepared to leave the table. The first chord was played, the artist arose and stood, pale, agitated, amazed, while the officers and other passengers also got up and smiled sym pathetically at her. And the band play ed “The Marseillaise 1” How Senator Vest Obtained 111. Desk. Many good stories oould be told of the alertness which senators’display in securing well placed desks, but the ex perience of Mr. Vest is especially worth relating. When*in 1883-the civil service law was being discussed, Mr. Pendle ton, an Ohio Democrat, and Mr. Dawes had presented bills. By a shrewd bit of politics theJßepublicans abandoned their support of tbe Dawes bill-and voted for Mr. Pendleton’s measure, their votes, together with the votes of the Demo crats favorable to tbe measure, being sufficient to pass it As the bill was about to be voted on-Mr. Cockrell.mov ed that its title be changed so as to read, “A bill to retain Republicans in office.” As-soon as it passed, Mr. Vest filed a claim for Mr. Pendleton’s seat. “The author of such a bill, ” said he, “will never come back to tbe .senate.” Mr. Vest- was right, and at the begin ning of the nexteongress he moved into Mr. Pendleton’s vacant chair. Wash ington Post. Th* Curtate Was Down. A party of countrymen were in town enjoying the sights. At last they came by one of the theaters in tbe Strand. "Suppose we.go in,” said one. “Better see bow much it is first,” said another. After inquiring tbe price of admission theyeilecided to send one of the party in sideKo see whether it was good enough or not. After remaining for some-time the delegate renamed. “How is it?” asked one. “No gp&L A lot of fellers fiddlin in front of a biff pfctur*.
