It i* a pity that this bravo man met such a sad fate. 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.” It is no2 yet to late!
