The body of Prof. Yundergrift, the

The municipal race is by no means
decided as yet, nor is it certain that all
the candidates are iu the field who are
to be voted for. There may be some
ticket or some person whom you will be
exceedingly anxious to vote for, But
you can not vote if you do not register.
Western papers are discussing the vi
tai question, “What makes a man’s
trousers bag at the knees ?*’ and no
one has thought to advance the theory
that it ia because the man wears trous
ers. We don't know of auythiDg that
will make a man's tronsers bag at the
knees quicker than wearing them.
It is the duty of every good citizen
to register. You may think now that
you will not oare to vote when the elec
tion comes off; but you may change
your mind Before that time. If you reg
ister, you do not have to vote if ycu do
not want to; but if yon do not register,
yon can not vote if you want.
W. II. Bostwick, of Peeksvillo, takes
the Henry County Weekly, the Henry
County Times,the Atlanta Constitution,
the Jackson Aagus and the West Point
Alliance, besides the Griffin Weekly
News. He thinks the other papers are
a little high, but says he would not do
without the News for five times the
money.
W* understand that a number of peo
pie have refused to register because they
do aot care to vots for either of the tick
ets now out. They are wrong, Let
them register and then they can vote for
any new ticket that comes out. Neith
er one nor both of the tickets now out
havo a monopoly of the race simply be
cause they are as yet the only ones in
the field.
There is more unsold cotton iu the
country now than there has been known
at this season for a number of years.
For several reasons many farmers have
kept back their cotton. There is a
great deal of cotton scattered aronud on
the plantations, already ginned and
packed, but not offered fur sale, to say
nothing of the stocks on hand in differ
ent towns and cities.
It transpired yesterday that Charlie
Bostwick was not shot off' his horse on
hia way home by a hidden assassin, as
he claimed, but that he simply received
punishment for poaching ou forbidden
preserves in direction quite .. opposite .,
a
from his home. The shot was number
four or live and the fact of most of it
passing iuto his hat, being deflected
probably by the window pane through
which it passed, saved him from a bigger
dose. He is not injured as badly as was
at first supposed, bnt as john Tyler
would say, he will not likely borrow a
horse to go to that neighborhood again
very toon.
The devil has written a poem for
publication from which is taken tho
following extract: “I stand at the gate
of a smoldering land and I bask in its
•ulphuroua glow, and I beckon the
spirit with a welcoming hand to the
laud of torture below. The young and
the old, tho rich and the poor, who lives
iu palaoe of sin, I beckon and welcome
them all to my door—I gather, I gather
them in. The chump who deserted the
town of his birth to boom up a town far
away, who'd never invest in the city's
owu earth, for fear the move wouldn't
pay; who groaned of the evils that hold
tho town down, and never would squan
der his tin; as sure as I'm living he
wandered down—I'll gather, I'll gather
him in.”
