Nesbitt, commissioner of agriculture, was nominated for senator of tbe 35th district last week, but has decided not to accept. It is said that the colonel will retire to hie farm and give up polities alter tbe expiration of bis term as commissioner. The'story that American soldiers pM wore mutilated by ’ the Spanish after being kilted in battle has been denied, and the denial seems to have been au thentic. ,Thin will relieve Spain of the disgrace that such an act would bare brought upon tor as a nation. Tbe old bachelor editor of the Thomasville Times says: It must b* a sad disappointment to some wives to learn that married men are not wantet io tbo army* It occurs to us that o all men, these would bo beet adapter for war. They have been in it. Three of the grandsons of Admire Bapbael Semmes, who commanded the famous Confederate cruiser Ala bama, are now in the army and navy of tbe United States They are tbe eons ol Gen. E.

Th® Beckoning Day. After the war is over and it will not, be deemed unpatriotic to criticise tbo authorities there will boa lively time in uncovering old accounts. Many men who.are posing as pa triots now will have the msaka torn off and revealed in their true life. Tbe manner ia which the govern ment has s'ready been swindled in tbe purchase of supplies, and more, es pecially of ships is “outrageous and ought to send bqh parties to the 'transaction to tbo penitentiary. It is useless to say that tbe exigences of tbe service demanded the purchase at any price. No such emergency has yet arisen as to justify “war prices” .for supplies. It is reliably said that many sena tor* end representatives are in pumas< sion of facte that will bring to shame many men who are prominent now, but they are restrained from exposing tbe ebady transactions by considera tions of public prudence, but when peace is declared tbe day ol reckoning will have dawned and the party rae* ponsibe for tbo outrage will bo swept from tbo earth.—Rome Tribune.

This is tbe way they do it: A cheap shop is rented and fitted up as a reataa rant at a cost, say. $ ,5 ,°- Food rai ned at about SIOO ia purchased, and SMBe jwdiciooa advertising is done. Stu food is sold for the money then than customea can get anywhere else fat the neighborhood. Tbe result is a crowded restaurant, though the pro prietor ia losing money steadily. When be has a first elam line at patrons and be appears to be doing a big business, he advertfoec tbe place for sale. 11l health or a desire to move south, east gr west is qbe rtf tbo excusea Custom ers appear promptly, and tbe proprietor usually sells his place for $1,200 or SI,BOO, half in cash. Hte investment has not been more than S4OO, so be clears from SBOO to SI,OOO. Os course tbe place proves a failure, and the pur chaser loses fate money. Tbe restaurant starter, however, moves to another por tion of tbe city and repeats his enter prise.” The lawyer said that be recalled one pim in particular wbo had started no tern than ten restaurants in the last six months, all of which be sold. With two exceptions tbe places did not pay, and tbe men wbo bought them were com pelled to close them.—New York Com mercial Advertiser. Tba Schoolyard. To spend large sums of money on architectural beauties and stone carv iagsof historic ornaments—which have but little attraction for children—to. make a school building look like a pal ace and then to leave the schoolyard looking like a desert or the top of a bi tuminous lake, without a single attrac tive flower or one bit of beauty, are Jn conslstencies which seem in tbe modern system of education. Weather beaten houses in the country, log cabins on the frontier*, railroad sta tions in tbe Great American desert and all over our country have their beauti ful flower gardens, and it refreshes One’s soul to see. them, but there is no such source of refreshment, inspiration and instruction where children are be ing educated in the ‘‘essentials. ’’—Hen ry Lincoln Clapp in Popular Science Monthly. Leese* Tear Wants. More of tbe true enjoyment of life lies in this maxim than is generally thought We may indeed go to extremes and cut to the quick, like that cynio philosopher who threw away his wood en cup on seeing a vagrant boy drink from the hollow of his hand. But the truth is we create many of our own ne eemitiea, and with the growth oQumy naw wants eome-in, not by oneCndFby tens, but by hundreds.—New York Ledger. TMe “Hrd*e” Doctor. . A “hedge” doctor, a kind of quack in Ireland, was being examined at an in quest on his treatment of a patient wbo had died. “I gave him ipecacuanha, ” he said. ” You might just as well have given him the aurora borealis, ” said the coroner. "Indade, yer honor, and that’s just what X should have given him next if he hadn’t died. ” —Hospital Gazette. Enterprising Druggists. There are tew men more wide awake and enterprising than J. N.
