Official Paper of ttwOrdlaary
of Spalding county and the City
of Griffin.
Says the Sparta Isbmaelhe : The
railroads will soon be reaping a rich
harvest from the peach and walermel
on crops which are abundantly grown
for them by philanthropic farmers. It
is lair to say that they generally al«
low the planting, working and gather
ing these crops, though under no obli
gation* whatever to do so. It is
through pure generosity.

Those surviving ex-Coufederates
who fought and Buffered io the trench
es around Petersburg and elsewhere,
are probably able to appreciate better
than anybody else bow differently the
men of the South are fighting now
from the way they fought in the six
ties. Thors were no such things in
those days aa hospital trains, hospital
sbipa, refrigerating ships, Red Cross
relief corps, and the thousand and one
aids and comforts which are now being
provided lor the troops. On the Cons
federate side it was a matter of hard
fighting during the battles and bard
living and hard suffering during the
intervals between fights.*—Savannah
News.
Unless there should come a change
in tho fortunes of Massachusetts, she
■say bo referred to after awhile as the
moth eaten state. Besides the gipsy
moth, ebe has now a brand new moth
pest, which the secretary of tho board
of agriculture calle the "brown-tail.’*
It ia said that tho "brown tail” is cov*>
ered with a growth of fine hair, which
it sheds about everywhere it goes.
When children play on the grass the
hairs of tho moth get upon them, with
the result that they .are poisoned and
their hands and arms break out into a
rash which is very painful. Tho
mouths are now in a pupa state, from
which they will emerge about tho
middle of August and begin to scatter
their hairs broadcast.
Remarkable Reocue.
Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield,
HU makes the statement, that she
caught cold, which settled on her
lungs; she was treated for a month by
her family physician, but grew worse.
He told her ebe was a hopeless victim
of consumption and that no medicine
could cure her. Her druggist sugges
ted Dr. King’s New Discovery for
Consumption; she bought a bottle and
to her delight found herself benefitted
from first dose. She continued its use
and after taking six bottles, found
herself sound and well; now does her
own housework, and is as well as ebe
ever was. Free trial bottles of this

The Two Should Meet
Editor Blackburn, of the Atlanta
Commercial, thus pays his respects to
Gen. Nation A Miles:
The Constitution expresses tho hope
that Weyler may return to Cuba. We
ey mpatbise wilb this wish, and supple
ment it by saying that it would delight
us to have one swashbuckler, known
as Nelson A. Miles, meet him there in
a baud to hand contest, with the result
that each loses his worthless life at the
hands of the other, deferring to the
Spaniard to the extent to hope that he
might live long enough to learn that
the American died before be surren
dered to death
Civilisation has rarely witnessed
one so cruel as Weyler, and chivalry
has never been dishonored by one so
cowardly aa Miles.
It is a good thing that the latter is
being so ignominiously treated by his
own army that all telegrams from
Sbafter are directed to Adjutant Gen
eral Corban, who is undoubtedly tho
real head of the army today, and who
should, by all means, be put in nomi
nal command at once
If Miles bad any nerve or gentility,
be would assert himself or resign
Instead, he talks feebly and puerilely
Os prosecuting hie detractors. This
is brave conduct for a commander-in*
chief Puor, conceited, impotent, dis
honored aid incompetent Miles!
Weyler ebines like a star in compari
son with the contemptible cur who
placed Jeff Davis io chains. «

A Story of President Paure.
M. Felix Fauro, president of the French
republic, is a gentleman whose duties are
many and whose pleasures are few. Among
the latter is the tub. Eminently hygienic,
It relaxes tension and distends the nerves;
hence the pleasure of it. Recently mat
ters of state followed him, it is reported,
even there. A secretary entered, apolo
gised no doubt, and in any event stated
that the minister of foreign affairs had
come regarding something of great ur
gency which required his immediate atten
tion. ‘‘Can’t I have any peace?” the presi
dent in his exasperation cried. ‘‘Does he
want to kill me—in my bath at that?”
Then, with a gesture infinitely resigned,
the gesture of a martyr, he added: "Show
him in—show in Charlotte Corday.”
